AS A SEDATIVE to numb the
fear of public debt, the people
have been told that no harm could
result from the debt because the
people merely owed it to them
selves.
Harold G. MoultOn. head of the
Brookings Institution. has knock
ed the "Owe it to yourself" theory
into a cooked hat in a booklet ell
titled, "The New Philosophy of
Public Debt" He shows that those
who pay taxes to support the debt
are not identical with those who
receive the interest on the debt or
the government bOunties which the
debt makes possible
While the people may owe the
public debt to themselves. the man
who is taxed to pay interest on
the debt will soon find that the
tax collector will take his shirt if
he does not pay his taxes. to pay
interest on a debt which he "Owes
to himself"
Mr.. MOultOn blasts the idea that
public debt can go on growing
forever without doing any harm.
His remarks shoot close to finan-
cial and economic advisors of the
government. and to the National
Resources Planning Board.
He makes it brutally clear that
deficit spending and boundless
public debt lead either to tOtalitar-
ianism or to debt reputation, and
that without "a stable system of
public finance in the United
States, and also in other countries.
the foundation stone for interna-
tional reconstruction will rest on
quicksand."
His analysis is just plain horse
sense which most everybody under
stood until they were hypnOtized
with the suggestion that prosper
ity could be brought about by
printing the pump continuously
with public funds. He does not
try to prove that government
debt is bad. but he does insist that
it must be controlled.
The time will come when in
spite of all the primings. the pump
will such air if the water supply
is exhausted. The earnings of the
people are the water in the finan-
cial well Those earnings must
come from individual effort and
production which depend on pros
porous operating industries and
agriculture The pump primers
produce no new water.

A FEW POWERFUL labor lead
ers have made monkeys out OF
the people of this country and Oul
Congress. Their technique is tC
cause untold damage TO the nation
and the war effort. and when Con-
gress is ready to crack down with
legislation controlling their ire
sponsible acts, the labor bosses
will ease up the pressure to block
Congressional action.
The Administration has been
largely responsible for this cOndi-
tion. 1t has failed to supply leader
ship or national labor legislation,
and its blanket opposition to cor
receives has invited hastily drawn
remedies. How much longer labor
leaders can defy government and
intimidate Congress remains to be
seen.
With any faults that the re-
Gently passed House anti-strike
bill may have, it has some good
provisions. These include the re-
quirements for financial statements
by unions, control of political con-
tributions and the granting of sta
tutory authority to the National
War Labor Board. 1t has been the
lack of such authority which en-
abled John l.. Lewis to thumb his
nose at the Board and treat it with
contempt
Commenting on the situation,
the New York Times says: If "A
measure similar to the House bill
should now become a law, it would
at least break the lOng-standing
taboo against corrective labor leg
islation. Once this was done. the
and Congress
should proceed to work out a
more comprehensive and better
balanced program"
If labor leaders are wise they
will not provide another exhibition
of defiance of government as wit
messed in the last coal strike.

Thus one more economy Of opera
tion was effected. Consumers were
able to buy more of the things
that make the American standard
of living the envy of the world.
This was progress. But who
could have mapped it out in ad-
vance? Who could have fOreseen
that the manpower saving and
other economies of operation which
the chains instituted would one
day serve the nation so magnifi-
Gently in tn esupreme test Of war?
1t was but a short time ago that
politicians sought votes by attack
ing the efficiency of chains. Even
yet, many states have punitive tax
laws in force that limit chain
store efficiency, laws that probably
were advocated by the same poll
ticians who today loudly acclaim
new blue-prints of theoretical pro-
gress and security under a pater-
government.
If we want progress it will have
70 come the way it has in the past
from the energy and resourceful-
ness of private citizens. 1t cannot
,e seized by decree. Every legiti-
nate private industry is a spring
If imagination and a source of pro-
,ress. The chain stores are mere
Y an example. Without such in
lustry the country would be as
terile as a desert.

TIRE INSPECTION

Tire inspection calls for experience and
the right equipment to locate and correct
trouble before it's too late; to know when
each tire is properly applied with regard
to load, road, weight, wear, and position; to
know just when tire should be recapped.
You get that kind of service here.

NEW EVIDENCE CROPS up each
day to prove that progress cannot
be blueprinted in advance. Years
ago, for example, farsighted busi-

Its purpose was to serve cOnsum-

The merchandising technique of

competition, gradually spread thru
the entire retail industry. Some

Church Fund
 Far From Goal

About $5000 has been con- tributed locally to the Russian Church rebuilding fund, it was announced this week. This, to- gether with insurance money expected, still will fall short of the estimated sum needed by about $2n,O00.
 Contributions have been gen. erous, but it IS felt that as no canvassing has been done that many more who plan to contrl- bute have failed to do so through procrastination.
 To these latter @ Christmas appeal is made to make thelr contributions now so more de- finite preliminary plans can be made for the new church. Con- tiributions may be given or mailed to Mrs. Frieda Blinn, secretary, building fund, Kodi- ak Alaska.

Russian Front

Gen. Vatutin's army repulsed mass German attacks west of Kiev, where one epic tank bat tie ragged after another. AL though the Russians wrecked $50 German tanks & cut down more than 5000 attacking in- fantrymen in 4 days, the Nazis continued making ceaseless efforts to break through to Kiev. Persistent German at tacks apparently failed to tie up any considerable Russian force nor to divert the Soviet high command from making offen- siyes elsewhere, for in the South the Soviet army plunged 5 miles inside the Dnieper river bend to within IS miles of the enemy's citadel at Kirovograd. The Red Army captured Znamenka, hub of the system of railroads link ing the Dniepsr bend with the area south of Kiev. In a special order of the day, Stalin an- nounced that the Soviet column that smashed into the town was one of several driving through crumbling Nazi defenses in the Dnieper sector. The loss of Znamenka left the whole Ger man position west of Lower Dnieper in dire threat The weight of the offensive is now directed against Kirovograd, next enemy stronghold ip the path of Red Army forces threat ening to outflank Krivoi Rog.
