Durocher Outfit Meets
New York Giants Today

BROOKLYN, April 20.--(R-The
highly regarded Brooklyn Dodgers
pry the lid off the National League
season at Ebbets Field tomorrow
against the revamped New York
Giants before an expected crowd
of $4,000.
Although the Dodgers lost sew
eral key men, including Pete Refs
er and Pee Wee Rees, to the war
fort, Manager eLo Durocher has
come up with veteran replace
ments. The Giants, however, look
little like the team that Mel OFT
lifted into third place in his first
season as manager last year.
Durocher declined to name his
starting hurler but it is expected
to be Ed Head, with Buck New
som or Max Macon as possibil-
tiles. OFT has selected Bill Lohr-
man as his starting pitcher.

SIX INNING RALLY
GIVES SENATORS
INAUGURAL GAME
Dutch Leonard Gives Way
To Foreigner In 4th;
Not Given Win

WASHINGTON, April 20.-@-
The Washington Senators walloped
the Philadelphia Athletics to .
in Griffith stadium today to launch
the major league baseball season
before a war-conscious crowd OF
25, ,093 fans.
Except that the Senators won,
on the strength of a rousing six
run rally in the sixth inning, the
inaugural game followed the pat
tern of many such affairs here In
the past. There was band music,
and a march to the flag pole and
first ball thrown from a box
on the first base line into a swarm
of players on the field.
But this year the carnival spirit
was missing. The crowd was one
of the smallest to watch a base
ball opener in the nations capital
in years and there was evidence
of the war everywhere-evidence
in the absence of President Roose-
welt and of star players OF both
teams as well as in the presence
of thousands of blue and khaki
uniforms in the stands.
The throng stood silently at at
tention and the thousands of serv-
ice men and women snapped to
salute as the flag was raised on
the pole in centerfield while an
Army band played the National
Anthem.
Then President Will Harridge of
the American league. Senate Ma
jority Leader Barley of Kentucky
and Owner Clark Griffith OF the
Senators marched back through
the infield to their seats. Man.
power Commissioner Paul v. Nc

Free Enterprise

There is much talk nowadays on
the part of big industrialists and
their press about keeping free en-
terprise alive after the war; Sure,
free enterprise is what the people
want, but not monopoly.
There was plenty opportunity for
free enterprise in the twenties after
the last war, no administration to
stop it then, nor is there now. But
the "free enterprise" after World
War I did not fare SO well. The ma
tional income got down to about one
half of the normal income.
Generally speaking there is free
enterprise amongst the smaller retail
business establishments. They are
free to compete all they want to. But
big business wants sure thing.
However, if there is plenty buying
power on the part of the masses there
need not be any fear for lack of
business opportunities.
Full employment with much pro-
duction, elimination of cartels and
monopoly, philosophy of live and
let live, and there will be little to
worry about economically speaking.
Askov American., 1943-11-04
There Is A Difference

Those who want sales taxes are
the ones who say that however tax
is levied it is paid ultimately by the
consumer" But note how they
vince at paying high income taxes
even during war time.
Such taxes as real estate, personal
property and license fees on the
part of business are passed on to the
consumer, but that is not true of in
come taxes, except in the case of
monopolies. Income taxes on corp
orations and individuals are paid at
the end of the years business after
the net profits are known.
A sales tax is paid directly by the
consumer and that is out of place,
especially when many are still on
subsistence level. Sure, there are
big wages to many during the war,
so when the federal treasury needs
more revenue to pay war costs, let
those and others with still bigger
incomes pay more in income taxes.
They may feel they are paying suf-
ficient now, but they have margin
to go on.
Much has been said about big war
wages, but about half our people
have not had their incomes increased
during the war. Living costs, as all
know, are up and to add to the bur-
den of those whose wages or incomes
remain the same, would cause hard
ship in many cases.
There is wide difference between
sales taxes paid directly by the con-
sumer and taxes paid on net incomes
after exemption and expenses have
been deducted.
Askov American., 1943-11-04
Status Quo - Revolution

An international police force can
conveniently be used to maintain the
status quo. Therefore the hesitancy
on the part of progressives to endorse
such set-up after the war.
When professed liberals (strong on
TALK say that it would be well to
have revolutions in some of the Euro
pean countries after the war to get
to the bottom of the evil and rid the
countries of all fascism, and in the
next breath advocate international
police, one is left to wonder what they
mean.
The combination international po-
lice to foster status quo, and revolu-
tions to get at the evil, does not
make sense. The police of course
would be there to maintain order
which means prevention of revolu-
ton.
Hidden objectives and lack of
frankness are back of such incon-
sistent remarks, and cause others to
wonder on whose payroll the speak
ers are working.
Askov American., 1943-11-04

can just imagine that the war lasted
five years extra. Imagination is a
great blessing = especially when
your conscience gets in the way.
Such a program, which will be
only a curtain-raiser, will provide
jobs at top wages for everybody who
wants work. Well start out on a
gigantic job of de-slumming the coun-
try. About 100000 new homes at
$4,000 per shack will take $780,
900, 100000. That will be enough to
re-house half the nation. The other
half is already comfortably domiciled;
it can wait until the second five-year
plan for its new shelter. There'll still
be $3.50, 900, 100000 left over, so don't
worry.
A colossal public works program
will take another big slice of the
half trillion appropriation. We can
put up thousands of new public Ii
braries, hospitals, stadia, recreation
resorts, highways; we can rebuild our
soil and reforest the land; mean
while, business will thrive as it has
never throve before
Then will come other five-year
plans. There's practically no limit to
the progress we can achieve if we
only open the throttle and go full
blast.
Let's show the fighting boys and
girls that they don't need to worry
about the kind of a country they're
coming home to. Let's short wave to
them the news that we've turned over
a new leaf = that economic double
talk is out and that we are all 60
ing to join in building new civiliza-
ton for every man, woman and child
in the land. Just a reminder - the
amount l mentioned for the first
five-year plan is $500,000, 900

ENDS IN STARVATION

Editor Askov American:
Everybody should work for him.
self and also regulate his work.
Therefore, consider it necessary that
even those who are employed by
and for others have at least something
to say how their work should be reg
ulated, mainly, to receive a decent
living.
Anybody who went through the
hard school of experience of common
labor knows that there is little COM
fort in hard work and small pay. To
help solve this matter labor unions
have been very beneficial. Often
these unions are attacked by the op-
posite parties, those who do little
and receive much, the clever-men,
clever here means to let the other
fellow do the work, and tell him to
be satisfied.
Money it is said to be saved or
preserved labor. This is partly SO,
but not always.
Beside productive money, we also
have created money, made from
nothing, which is the biggest amount
of counterfeited money there ever
was in circulation, difficult to be
distinguished from money earned
productivity.
Created money is water added to
productive money. This solution
bears interest and pays dividend, the
same as productive money, to the
swindlers, counterfeited industry OF
the money-dealer parasite.
These "Simon pure" capitalists
work the Gin" and deflation system
so cleverly that in either case it ends
in starvation for the common labor.
For instance, if there are more
commodities than money in circula-
ton, money is out of reach, and if
reversed, commodities are out of
reach. High or low prices both end
in starvation and are the conse-
quences of capitalism.

Canadian French
Are Homogeneous

Speaking on the subject of Latin
America in Canada: French Canada"
DR.. A. L. Burt, professor of history
at the University of Minnesota, re-
called at the recent Institute of Inter-
American Affairs at Hamline Uni
versity, that Quebec was founded in
1908 and that Canada was under
France until the conquest of 1853.
It was nearly hundred years after
that before there were as many Eng
lish as French speaking people in
Canada.
The French being the original
Canadians the English had to speak
French also when they were in the
minority, and even to this day both
French and English are spoken in
the parliament at Ottawa, the laws
being also printed in both languages.
In 1840 Britain gave up trying to
control, and both languages were
put on basis of equality.
Speaking Interestingly about the
French in Quebec and in the capital
of that province, Montreal, DR.. Burt
related that physical conditions
brought democracy on the st. Law
renee. When the government asked
for a tithe of thirteenth and the
French objected, it was cut in half,
to what they could pay, and all was
well again. The captain Of militia
is the local boss and he is retained
or dismissed according to trial and
error in each case.
The French in Canada are homo
geneous while the English are from
a salad of people, said the professor,
and with a smile added that the
English Canadian wants to be mil
lionaire while the Frenchman wants
to be a member of parliament or a
priest.
