Penalizing Economy

Many absurdities have been brought to light in the price and rationing rules of OPA. None has been more abhurd than the order declaring that no seller of womens and children's coats, suits, and dresses may carry higher price line than the top carried in that particular store in the base period of March, 1942. It means taht stores which have centered their efforts on selling to the public at the lowest possible prices, are now pen alized for thei refficiency.
 How the order affects the public is best illustrated by the case of rtailer who in March, 1942, was selling clildren's skirts for $1.O0. Today he finds that manufacturing costs make it impossible to replace this same skirt for less than $1.19, but he cannot adjust his price to cover this rise in cost Therefore, he is froced to drop the cheap item altogether, and when Mrs. Consumer drops in to buy a swift for her daughter, she finds no skirt. She must go to a higher-priced store where she will have to buy more costly garment. By not allowing mod est increase in the cheap line, the OPA higher prices. The loW-cost distributor actually forces the customer to pay can no longer serve at low cost and the customer pays the bill.
 According to news reports, the OPA has established the same procedure in the restaurant business Low priced restaurants that sold pie at 10 cents a cut during the base period, are prohibited from raising their prices to cover rises in wholesale pie costs. Higher-priced res taurants that formerly sold pie at fifteen cents, are not affected. Again the eff cient low-priced operator and the small operator have been penalized by bureau cratic absurdity. It is curious way to fight imitation!

THE AMERICAN THEATER
 STYLED BY WAR
(New Haven Journal Courier

Professor Walter Prichard Eaton has reminded us that war stiles the drama and that little that is going on in the theater today is signifi- cant. This is perfectly true, and the reason is not alone that the impor- tant playwrights and actors are oc- cupied with the war. Also a factor is the indifference of the audience to the puny themes of the stage when the real drama of the times is being played on the battlefield. A good proportion of the crowded shows in New York this season are revivals and grille shows, both of which suffice only as escapist en- tertainment. The creative side of the drama will remain in hiberation until peace comes.
 Since War I was followed by a period of vitality in tie American theater, 1t is reasonable to suppose that the sequence of War II will be a like resurgence. Seasoned play wrights will come back with new themes. and younger men will turn to the drama to express those ideas that have come out of their fighting experience. Acting and designing will be affected by the invasion of And if the quality of this theater of new people and new points of view. the 1940s Is as high as that of two decades ago, there will be an en- thuslastic audience on hand to en- joy and reward the artists.

unscientific, theological, class-conscious hit-and-miss methods.
 When taxation reaches the level now proposed, or even that already attained, it runs into difficulties that weren't par ticularly important at pre-war levels. Chief among those difficulties are four that interlock, which we have discussed before and probably will feel impelled to discuss many times more. First is the matter of the distribution of national in- come in general. Second is the matter of the distribution of war increases in work CTS incomes.
 These two distributions are as nearly complete oppoSites as it is possible for them to be-
 Third is the social philosophy which underlieS taxation for the purpose of fi- nancing governmental operationS-taXa- tion for revenue. Fourth is the economic philosophy that underlies taxation for the purpose of controlling imitation. These, too, are almost diametrically opposed and very nearly irreconcilable. Until both Treasury and Congress are driven to CO., operate in finding scientific, non-poli- tical tax formula that recognizes the quaSi-irreconcilability of these interlock- ing problems, we won't be able to pay what the Treasury asks even though there is, in the aggregate, ample free income with which to pay.

The Wisconsin Goes Down the Ways

The announcement of the launching of another battleShip is just minor event at the present time. That is, it is incon- sequential as far as the public reaction Is concerned. LaunchingS of new boats and completion of new airShipS come so fast that they are secondary as far as the headlines go.
 However, we feel that the launching this week of the mighty battleship Wis consin was something in the nature of a major event. A picture of the boat in Metropolitan newspaper was captioned, Our Answer to Japan on Anniversary of Pearl Harbor.' This boat has the dis tinction of being the largest and most powerful warship in the world. year ago on December the New Jersey went out from the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The launching of the Wisconsin was wit messed by 35,000 thrilled spectators The assistant Secretary of the Navy, Ralph A. Bard, said it lis an answer to the sur prise attack which came to us two years ago today" He continued she will be an instrument of retaliation"
 The need for added warshipS of this nature brings home to us the hard job that is still ahead if this war is to be won by us and our allies. There was much talk on the Pearl Harbor anniversary of averaging the events of that day two years ago. If carried out in accordance with the definition of the word, "exacting punishment or satisfaction for wrong or injury done -" all we'll and good, and the mission of each added force like the Wisconsin is welcome instrument of justice. We have been advised from time to time to consider all these things as moral issues and not with too much of a feeling of getting even".
 So the Wisconsin went down the Ways'' on Pearl Harbor day, another unit in the war to finish and material help in the moral issue of fighting a wrong.

Keeping the Bells Ringing

The sound of church bells, calling peo- pie to worship, is the symbol of free land.
 During this third week of the United Church Canvass, in which hundreds of local communities throughout the nation are uniting to stress the wartime service of religion, the symbol of the ringing church bell is brought to our attention
 What do these bells say today?
 Liberty. They represent free churches in free country. They Symbolize the rights of the individual conscience. Our enemies will not permit the ringing of church bells. They are reminders of truth and freedom
 Worship. The bells call people to the worship of God.
 Family At the heart of the nation is family life and the bells call whole faml- lies to divine services.
 Morality The moral life of America sounds forth in the ringing of those bells.
 Friendship. The spirit of good'neigh- bors, of friendliness, is noted wherever people are called together by the sweet sound of lively church bells.
 One World. AS on Sabbath morning the bells of all churches blend together into a sacred harmony, we are reminded of the better world to come, and the worldwide influence of those churches which are striving for just and durable Deace

youngster, he was by no means paragon of virtue. One day he heard venerable minister pray ing for boys and girls. In fact young McGuffey for some reason or other happened to be in the clergyman's yard, and through an open window could hear the old gentleman's sonorous voice as he prayed earnestly that the boys and girls of that generation would grow up credit to God and their coun- try. It greatly impressed the mis- chievous young McGuffey. He was suddenly awakened to the realiZa- ton that older people are not al- ways ogres and that there was one man at least who was actually con- cerned lest bad boys grow up to be bad men.
 Great issues hang on small de- tails. The venerable clergyman, praying that boys and girls be strengthened in the living of good life, did not know that right out side his window God had placed a small boy who knew by experience the things which were upon the minister's heart. God was later to use that boy for the answering of the old mans prayer.

More Taxes

The issue between the Treasury and Congress in regard to the new tax pro- gram is by no means clear cut. Both sides are right and both sides are wrong. We never will get anywhere taking one side or the other undiscriminatingly The Treasury is right in contending that as much as 10 billions in new taxes should be raised for the double purpose of help ing to finance the war with minimum of borrowing and of helping to control imitation. The Treasury is right in ar guing that with national income up ESQ., 000,000,0O0 and taxes up only $19,OOO,- 100000, there is ample new money avail able with which to finance further $1O,- O00,000,000 increase. The most elemen- tary mathematics shows that after meet ing the proposed boost, we should still have in excess of $50, 1000, ,0OO, ,OOO more in- come, above taxes, than formerly. Yet Congress is right in insisting that we can not pay the additional SIC, ,OO0, ,OOO,OOO the Treasury proposes. We can't, that is if tsxes continue to be raised by the old

Discrimination

New York state has ascertained that women are paid little more than half as much as men. The average weekly wage for men is $5783, for women only $32.27
 But these figures are not for comparable work. They reflect the fact that higher proportion of men is employed in the heavier, more skilled trades and crafts.
 It would be interesting to see experi- ence figures contrasting the pay of men and women in identical work in which the prospects of permanency are similar.

A mild influenza epidemic seems to be prevalent in certain sections of the coun- try. It is not regarded as serious nor as severe as the type common that swept this country, for instance, in 1918. It is known as just grippe, and also called "cat fever" It is likewise said that it is not particularly localized but is in various Scattered areas. Washington, D. C., is having a mild epidemic of this particular flu. Avoiding crowds and staying at home are about the two best suggestions to those who are at all fearful of contract ing this mild form of flu.

 MAC ARTHUR AND LODGE
 The drive for MacArthur for President nd Senator Cabot Lodge for vice. president has brought some interesting reactions, according to L. w. Mccormick, its first public sponsor.
 Mccormick sent out 5000 let ters to Republican chairmen and local leaders all over the country. About 800 replies have now been received, all of them favorably regarding MacArthur. but not all so strong for Lodge. A good many referred to the young Sen- ator's famous grandfather, Henry Cabot Lodge, ST., who upset Will sons peace plans. They com- mented that young Lodge was too much like his grandfather.
 Mccormick is waiting for more replies and also telling those who write him to get busy and organ ize MacArthur clubs.
 A good many politicoes see in
 the MacArthur- Lodge drive the
 hidden hand of Pennsylvania
 Joe Pew as part of his passion
 to stop Willkie. Mccormick is
 an old friend and associate of
 Pew's and lives not far from
 him in Pennsylvania. He em-
 phatically denies, however, that
 Pew is behind his move. |. Pew is behind his move. .. ....
 Senatorial colleagues of young Lodge are especially interested in his Macarthur hookup in view of the speech he made following his return from Australia in which he blasted Russia for not giving this country bases in Si- beria. He indicated that Mac Arthur had told him a million American lives could be saved if we had those bases.
 Later, 1t developed that Lodge and other Senators had gone to SC General Marshall, the chief

 Rhenmatoid Arthritis
 Do you approve of the use of salicylates by one who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis? Some doctor who, she says, is a noted specialist on arthritis, advised her to take as much as thirty grains of acetyl- salicylic acid daily right along to relieve pain. (S. H. W.
 Answer-Yes. If I had chronic arthritis I'd take as much acetyl- salicylic acid (aspirin) as might be necessary to relieve pain. Otherwise I'd take as much daily exercise, preferably playing some game or doing odd jobs around the house, or gardening, or walking, as I could, but just passive and active move ments or a regular schedule of ex- ercises when play, walking or jobs were not available.
 Allergic My Eye
 Son, 12, allergic to cold. It started a year ago with sneezing spells and constant watery oozing from nose. He lost considerable weight, and he catches more cold from the slight est exposure. (Mrs. A. R.)
 Answer-Your son may be allergic to something, Ma'am, but when you say he is allergic to cold I can't understand your language. Your son should be carefully examined for chronic ethmoid or sphenoid sinusitis, perhaps with polyps in upper part of nasal passage. Send twenty-five cents and three-cent stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, for booklet Call It Cri," which may give you more practical help.
