Apparently, the treasury and

$3.50, 100000 is a small amount

The treasury deposited the
notes in federal reserve banks

Bureaucra+s Frightened.
Quit Kicking Business
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. "A
W change of government ra-
tioning tone toward business
representative here has becomes
evident the past two weeks. "
A friendlier and more CO.
operative greeting has been en-
countered by most businessmen
in approaching OPA, WPB and
the other non-military admins
trations. In several cases, WPB
has recovered somehow scarce
raw war materials which could
not be used and turned these
back to industry to keep them
going on civilian goods.
This is a far cry from the
earlier days when all business
was kicked from door to door in
Washington with the ST TOUT
don't you know there is war
on ?" which was used to cover
all manner of injusticeS and
mistakes.
All that a businessman has to
do now in dealing with the
bureaucrats is TO threaten TO
take his case to the Senate'S
small business committee or the
Truman committee, and immedi-
ately bureaucratic col dnes S
warns.
But the change is only of tone,
not of heart. The bureaucrats
are just scared, not converted.
There has been little change in
personnel of the bureaus thus
far. Only here and there, I'M
derlings Of an autocratic tenn
permanent have been replaced.
New OPA director, Prentiss
Brown, has indicated he will
wait week or two before doing
anything about the regime he
inherited from Henderson.
The struggle within, for con-
troll of the various setups, is thus
proceeding in a less spirited
manner, with various cliques of
the Frankfurter and other
schools vying to maintain their
jobs in the face of congressional
wrath.
THE movement TO improve the
Il war lot of the Negro seems
TO be drifting into radical hands.
The two reputable Negro advis-
ers of the war and navy depart
ments have silently resigned.
The common Interpretation Is
that their moves were intended
as a protest against cancellation

Agitation is being taken up
by such radicals as A. Philip

BY WILLIAM HAUGHTON
state Americanism Chairman,
American Legion.

Japan, chief exponent of
" treachery and the sneak
punch" continues to rule the
Pacific, our greatest ocean.
Therefore, Japan remains our
foremost menace.
Overjoyed as we are at the
continued reports of success by
our allies in Russia and else
where, we must not for one
moment forget that Japan's
fighting forces extend from
Alaska to China throughout the
Pacific.
Every "a hours that passes in
creases the japanese menace in
the Pacific.
Encouraging as they may be,
our successes in GHadaleanal,
Buna, New Guinea and other
points must, by cold analysis,
be classed only as minor accom-
plishments when compared with
the picture as a whole-Japan's
occupancy of the Pacific.
West Coast points, from the
Aleutians to the lower tip of
California, remain in dire jeop-
ardy at all times. Those who
live in the eastern section OF
our nation heard of the accom-
plishments of our fighting forces
and their allies in the Mediter-
ranean and the Atlantic and
take courage and renewed hope
at these reports.
We of the West Coast, too,
hear these reports and rejoice
over them. But, our thoughts
quickly come back home and 10
our greatest menace-Japan.
y
WE READ of the landing Of
w soldiers, not only from the
United States but from Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Canada,
in large numbers in London and
other Allied centers in Europe.
And, as residents of the West
Coast who can not be blamed
for roofing for their own in
terests, we wonder if this means
the taking away of much needed
strength from the Pacific and
perhaps playing into the hands
of those masters of treachery,
the Japanese war lords.
War and preparation for war
have been the main business of
Japan for many years. From in
fancy the japanese have been
taught that their grea tie t
achievement in life is to live as
a warrior and die in the military
uniform of Japan.
That this teaching Is far en-
bedded in Japan's soldiers is well
proven by stories brought back
from the Pacific fighting by our
heroes-tales of suicide bomb
ings" and other demonstrations
OF fatallSm on the part OF the
Mikados fighting men.
With these accounts are 9th
ers of japanese camoufiage of
fighting boats to make them
look like islands, wearing of
green paint by Jap soldiers so
they will blend with the hue of
the jungle and many other sub
terfuges. All of this fits in with
japanese cunning and treachery.
Japanese war tegy
breathes treachery. Japan loves
the sneak punch" We learned
that from Pearl Harbor. And the
menace of that treachery is al
always with us and the target.
of course, must and will be the
West Coast.

TO THE EDITOR:
I WOULD like to express my
Il complete dissatisfaction over
the way the state highway de-
partment is clearing the roads.
Today, the 18th. thousands
were late for work at Willow
Run because the plows forgot
that there were new roads out
there. The great" expressway
hadn't been touched this morn
ing and still wasn't touched
by a pillow this evening When
workers were returning homo.
Lines for two miles were
formed when the lead cars
would get stuck in the deep
snow. What are we paying Sc
per gallon tax for, plus our
license plates, il we can't even
have roads available to get to
work.
Perhaps they have no equip
ment-then l wonder how the
roads were kept clean before.
The Wayne County Road Com
mission did a good job on their
trunk lines.
The last snow we had the
state forgot the expressway UNI
til the sun melted it, and 1t
froze during the night, making
a beautiful skating rink.
Perhaps the state highway
department never heard of a
night shift. They had better
wake up, because we work the
clock around. And if they can I
keep the highways clean then
we will get somebody that knows
how. There are more elections
to come.

When you stop to consider the
time lost by thousands OF people
who stand on corners waiting
for street cars and buses from
half an hour TO an hour. only TO
have them pass you UP because
they are loaded to capacity
then you realize the government
ought to stop quibbling over one

time is wasted while waiting,

A BOUT a year ago spokesman

even by the Herald Tribune Of
his own party, for insisting in a
speech at Salt Lake City that
the imperative patriotic duty OF
Republicans was TO engage Wig
orously in politics TO save the
two-party system and the re-
publican form of government.
Since then President Roose-
welt has tried TO dictate the
nomination of his candidate for
the office Of governor OF New

the Democratic Party in New

pean wings, the latter addicted
TO socialism and communism,
and has been strongly influen-

been rewarded for his devotion
to the four freedoms and the
ideals of democracy by the APP
pointment 10 the federal bench

This is another move, inciden.

stated as one of the purposes OF

Since then Maury Maverick.
