They will pay taxes and they will
save. But deep in their nature is
an instinct to exercise complete SOW
ereignty over their money. 1t is
dangerous to fool around with that
instinct.
The most eminent advocate of
compulsory saving among Anglo
American economists is John May
nard Keynes. Keynes has his fol-
lowing among Americans, but, for
tunately, Secretary Morgenthau up
to now has not been a member OF
that company. The Secretary is
not infallible, but his resistance to
compulsory savings has been in ac-
cord with American facts.
Despite rumors of new tax plans,
Mr.. Morgenthau is still confident
that before this drive is over,
America will give the answer that
they want to do 1t the volunteer
way" This, coupled with fiat de-
nial by MIR. Paul that the Treasury
has any such plan, would indicate
that there has been no change in
Mr.. Morgenthau's position.
In suggesting the 2idea, Keynes
was thinking in terms of the psy-
chology OF the English people and
OF English conditions. The PRO-
posal for compulsory savings is based
upon the economy Of a country in
which there is no such mass private
insurance-savings as the United

fered from air bombardments the
German industries are reported
to be still capable Of = much
larger output than ut present.
But 1t would be useless for them
to construct new planes and keep
them Grated because there are
not enough instructors for future
pilots.
Hence. they keep their produce
ton on q month-to-month basis
and output does not exceed l.
800 planes. This gives them some
advantage since they can improve
their types at all times.
The new Junkers, for instance,
Is much speedier than most Al
lied planes. 1t is said to have a
speed close to 500 miles an hour.
But this new type Of fighter has
only a relative value. It's landing
speed Is over $50 miles an hour,
and extremely well trained and
able pilots are required to stop q
plane at that rate Of speed. This
Is particularly true when the
planes must land at night on air
droines which do not have per-
feet. runways and suf1icient
ground lights.
Used in Night Fighting.
Junkers are used mostly In
night fighting against Allied
bombers. They have gasoline for
three hours Of flight and after q
fight is over they cannot always
choose perfectly organized land
ing fields but must drop on any
OF the many emergency air
dromes.
The result is that about as
many Of these high-speed planes
are destroyed In landing as in
combat.
Only the highest skilled pilots
can be entrusted with handling
these machines, and the casual
ties suffered by the Luftwaffe be-
cause of accidents Is such that
the Nazi high command is hesi-
tating to use them In great num-
bers.

R. l. RedeI, Lioison Man at 81,
Marks 18th Year on Senate Job

Richard Langham Riedel Is only

as an employe of the Senate.
Mr.. Riedel, starting his long serv-
ice as a page, now is chief naison
man between the Senators and the
press. radio and photographers. For
years he has been a familiar figure
to correspondents in the Senate gall
lery who sought emergency inter-
views with Senators, and usually 1t
was he who called them of the floor
to meet reporters in an anteroom.
When Mr.. Riedel began work at
the Senate, September ~, 1918,
Woodrow Wilson was President,
Thomas r. Marshall, Vice Presi-
dent, and Champ Clark, Speaker.
The last Union veteran in the Sem
ate, Francis e. Warren Of Wyoming,
father-in-law Of Gen. Pershing, still
was In office, and so was the last
Confederate veteran, John H. Bank
head, ST., of Alabama, father of the
late Speaker, William B. Bankhead,
and Of the present Senator, John H.
Bankhead. Five Of the first Sena-
tors from newly admitted States
were sitting.
Only three men who then were in
the Senate and have served consecu-
lively since remain in the chamber.
They are Senators Smith. Democrat,

Blocked" Suvinos

States has. There is not yet $50
cial security" psychology here. In
Great Britain there has been and
there is no such capacity for civilian
production as we have. English
civilian production is lower by 40 to
Is per cent than before the war.
This situation, plus mounting war
expenditures, creates a dangerous
source Of imitation.
On our side there is a more sat
isfactory curve of civilian produc-
tion, and saving at very consider
able level.
The danger in compulsory saving
here Is that it would add little to
real savings. But 1t would dull the
economic mentality that has pro-
duced vast purchases Of bonds and
stamps, and 1t would, no doubt, re-
duce savings bank deposits. Com
pulsory savings might, as matter
OF fact, produce the very opposite
reaction to what its sponsors expect.
1t would seriously impair the hon.
orable obligation of many employers
and their employees to set aside 10
per cent of their pay. 1t would seri-
ously hit the present living stand
ards OF the millions who have had
no real war increase in pay. It
would introduce an undesirable
spirit OF competition and regimenta-
ton IN our war savings. People will
expect that this form of compulsion
is only beginning. The boarding
Of money and commodities would be
an inevitable reaction.
Above all, such step would be a
confession of the failure of the fine
effort made by those working for
the Treasury to convince Americans
that they can, by voluntary effort,
win the war and preserve the peace
an effort unparalleled In the his
tory Of any nation.
What is needed now is an evalua-
ton OF the economic and psycho-
logical effects of the new taxes al
ready imposed. What has been their
impact upon savings, upon absentee
ism and upon the quality of spend
Ing? Certainly. the American spirit
Of thrift Is value which should not
be impaired, now or in the future.

1914 Farm Income Seen
Topping 1913 Estimates

The Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics predicted yesterday that net
income to farm operators in 1914
may exceed that Of approximately
eI2,500, 100000 expected this year.
Prices received by farmers in l943
will average 20 to % per cent above
last year, the Agriculture Depart
ment bureau said, although prices
paid out by farmers promises 10
increase 9 per cent.
BAE also predicted that overall
demand for farm products will av-
erage somewhat higher in 1914 than
this year, but that the rate of in
crease from now on will be much
slower than during the last three
years.
The end of hostilities In Europe
might be expected TO have little
immediate depressing effect on
prices Of farm products, BAE said
although 1t would stimulate plans
for readjusting agricultural produc.
ton In order to ease any postwar
decline In agricultural prices.

~sJ -
the committee, and also a large
majority OF the Senate itself,
favors some such statement OF
foreign policy was confidently
afirmed by members of the COM
mittee yesterday. The stumbling
block, II there is one, seems to
lie in the timing of the resolution.
The question in the minds of
some Senators is whether 1t Is
better to launch a resolution for
international collaboration now
and take the chances of sharp
debate in the Senate. Their fear
is that the debate might give a
wrong impression to the outside
world and perhaps give oppor-
tunity for propaganda by the
Axis powers. However, the vote,
If and when it comes. will be the
deciding factor. The House lead
ers, before the summer vacation,
held back from taking up the
Fulbright resolution, although it
had been unanimously approved
by the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, for much the same
reason for delay as that now ad-
vanced by Senators.
People Desire Policy.
During the summer vacation,
however, the members of the
House received a very definite
impression that the people were
back of such a declaration of
policy. Further, the Republican
Postwar Advisory Council meet
ing on Mackinac Island late in
the summer adopted a strong
resolution on international COL
laboration, which went far to
remove the whole issue of foreign
policy from the partisan political
arena. The "Mackinac Charter"
as it has been dubbed by Senator
Vandenberg Of Michigan and
others who had a part in its
framing, has been the subject of
favorable comment throughout
the country.
1t does seem, therefore, that
the weight of evidence, as well as
the weight of public opinion, ia
vors action both by the Foreign
Relations Committee and the
Senate. The suggestion has been
made that 1t might be well to
talk the matter over, through
diplomatic channels, with the
governments Of other Allied Ma
tions to ascertain their feeling,
before the Congress of the United
States takes final action. It may
be that this has already been
done. Certainly the willingness
of the other nations to take part
in international co operation
after the war already has been
shown, first at the food confer
ence of the United Nations in
Hot Springs, Va, earlier in the
year, and more recently in the
agreement looking to relief and
rehabilitation of the countries
which have been overrun by the
Axis powers.
II international collaboration
to maintain peace, after the war
has been won, is the rights and
valuable thing to do, there seems
no good reason why this country
should hang back now in the
enunciation of such a policy. 1t
is true that until the war is won

This Changing World

gun than heretofore used On
fighters.
The introduction Of the rocket
gun IL not likely to Affect greatly
the Allies plans OF round -the-
clock bombardment Of the Reich.
The guns shells are more dam
aging when they hit . target, but
the number Of hits. because Of
the low initial velocity Of the
pro1ectile, is less frequent than In
the case Of the speedier 50-cali-
ber machine gun.
The heavy losses In personnel
suffered by the Luftwaffe have
not impaired the morale and the
fighting willingness Of its pilots.
The trouble is only that the Ger
man flyers are less experienced
than they were in the first two
years Of the war and handle their
planes with less skill than their
predecessors. They die willingly
and are ready to tackle the Allies
under any conditions. But the
same saying which applied In
previous wars that . dead soldier
is Of no use must be applied to
the modern sky fighters.
Low Number In Service.
The Allies are having some dii-
ficulty. in attempting to estab-
lish the exact number Of Nazi
planes on active service. The
general belief Is that the Luft-
waite cannot maintain more than
$500 planes Of all types 0nclud-
ing transports) In actual combat
on all fronts.
The activity Of the Nazi avia-
ton in Russia has been consider
ably curtailed in recent months.
The withdrawal Of German
troops from east to west has not
required a considerable air UNI
brella. Contact with the enemy
Is now broken as soon as 1t ap-
pears that a position will have
to be evacuated.
Airplanes are not needed for
the "scorched earth" strategy
adopted by the Nazis. Some air
protection Is required when the
Russian planes endeavor to inter-
fere with the retreating columns,
but on the whole 1t is highly
doubtful whether the Germans
now have more than 1000 planes
on the Russian front.
German heavy craft Is being
used sparingly in Italy. A force
Of fighter planes as large as their
means allow is delegated to OPP
pose Allied raiders in Western
Germany. These defense air
sQuadrons will have to be in
creased soon to meet attacks from
the Italian and Corsican air1ields.
What the Nazis are doing to
overcome this handicap OF human
material in their .Luftwafie Is not
known here.
But there Is no question that
while technical genius can in
crease production, create new
types Of weapons and overcome
the difdculties Of an adequate
supply Of high octane gas by
manufacturing 1t, 1t cannot create
robots to fly and night their
planes.
