Confusion And they're saying
that the reason the army took the
real anti-aircraft guns off the
Congressional office building and
put dummy guns there instead
(which they really didD is because
Hitler would never bomb Washing
ton; he wouldn't want to interfere
with the confusion.
HERE ARE REASONS
WHY does the situation exist?
Here are a few reasons: When
Prentiss Brown, head of the OPA,
made the radio speech announcing
price roil-backs" and subsidies
that was the first Chester Davis,
the head of the War Food Ad-
ministration, had heard of the de-
cision. Brown had been told about
it that afternoon by Justice Byrnes,
who is a sort of aSSistant-presiden
for the home front. Paul McNutt
of the Manpower Commission also
learned of the 48-hour work week
lust before public announcement OF
this policy was made by Justice
ByrneS.
Davis, of the War Labor Board,
learned from outside sources that
Harold Ickes had been given the
coal strike problem to solve; and
later. after Ickes had worked up to
certain decisions with the coal
people, he heard that different de-
cisions had been made by the
President himself. Miss Perkins is
the Secretary of Labor, with all
powers taken away, and Claude
Wickard is Secretary of Agricul-
ture. and the only functions left
in that department are the Bureau
of Agricultural Statistics and the
Commodity Credit Corporation.
Jesse Jones knows that Congress
opposes subsidies by about 3 to l,
but he loaned money from the RFC
funds to put them into effect, and
said it was an executive order.
What is lacking on the home
front is management; the simple
principles of which are charac-
teristic of this country. Some of
the boys in Washington have an
nounced that after the war the
government should take over the
government financed industries and
run them as "yardsticks" for pri-
vate enterprise.
I don't think SO!

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

The librarian at Halloran, the
U. S. Army hospital on Staten Is
land, N. Y, says that most OF the
soldiers she talks to confess that
they don't want to go back to their
old Jobs when the war IS over.
They have had time to think and
they know now what they want to
do with their lives. Also, perhaps,
they aren't as timid as they might
have been once about giving UP
sure thing to take a chance on
something untried.
Some of those men are going TO
meet with opposition when the war
is over and they tell their wives
about their plans. For by that
time a lot of women are going to
be reasoning this way: I've shimp-
ed along on your Army pay, and
I've not had a secure moment since
you have been away, and now tnat
YOU are back I want all the things
we used to say we were going to
have and I don't want TO walt for
them until I'm old. So l think
YOU ought to go back TO your old
Job where you already have a start
instead of tackling something
new"
That is going to be a common
reaction. for some wives are al
ready talking that way. And many
of the wives who are living at home
with their families are encouraged
in that attitude.

they're TYPICAL
AMERICANS, TOO

One of the most heartening and inspir-
ing stores of the war has come off the
never-silent presses of the Office of War
Information. 1t is a rather unpretent-
ious story of unpretentious American
people-people who feel that the unpre-
cedented expenditure Of money and time
and labor that war demands is not
enough to give. So they have sent to
their government something more volun-
tary. more personal, than their 10 per
cent in War Bonds or their seven days
week.
1t is story that is both touching and
amusing. 1t tells of the little girl who
sent her penny, and of the rich man who
sent $4,000. 1t tells of gifts from de-
scendents of pioneers and from new citl-
zens whose devotion to their country
shines through halting, tortured English.
The gifts include an eight-coach train
and 24000 racing pigeons and German
iron crosses and a Rolls-Royce and 70
cents from two Army privates, who want
ed to bring the national debt of s1O4,2O
022 ,068.70 down to even money.
All in all more than 10000 Americans
(ncluding a few neighbors from Mexico,
Central and South America) have swell
ed the Treasury by S4,423,000.
Americans today are complaining
about the government and about prices
and the lack of beef. They are cheating
on their gasoline rations and curslng the
income tax, falling behind in production
goals and calling one another fascists
and bureaucrats and long-haired profes-
sorS.
They are typical Americans, sure, but
we hear too much about them. 1t is time
we learned about the others-the Amer
leans who feel that helping to win this
war is a personal matter that requires
their fullest resources.
Their story is a good one. You ought
to read it.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-08-26
SAD COMMENTARY
Industrial Nelcs RerieU

Behind the official pickering and con-
fusion revolving around controlled dis
tribution of civilion necessities, few
facts are all too apparent to the retail
merchant.
The public is warned not to pay more
than legal prices, indicating that
where price tags do not jibe with the
decreed legal price, something shady is
going on. Consumers are led to believe
that these legal prices are set by simple
procedure based on experience and
knowledge of the problems; that all the
merchant has to do is follow the law,
the driver of an automobile. Actually,
about the only resemblance of legal
price" measures to other laws, is that the
offender is subject to heavy fines and
Jail.
Rationing and price laws have been
imposed. not only with no precedent as
guide. but by men with little or no prac-
tical knowledge of retail distribution.
The advice of the merchants has seldom
been sought in the formation of the
rules under which they must operate.
AS a result, the controls are cumbersome,
vague and often unworkable. lnfrac-
tions have been unavoidable, IN spite OF
the best efforts of the merchants, who
fully realize that wartime controls are
necessary.
1t is sad commentary on the sltua-
ton when representative OF one of the
nations leading chain store systems feels
impalled to point out that: Retailers are
fully as patriotic, in the main, as those
who have been giving them the dictator
runaround. Retailers are paying higher
taxes. They are contributing generously
to every phase of the war effort, with
money time and energy
He could also have pointed out that
without the full support of retailers, the
price and rationing laws would collapse.
Yet. retailers have been treated with sus-
picion and distrust by the very officials
whose dependence upon the distribution
industry is second only to that of the
consuming rnhlic
