Britons Cheer Appointment
Of WoveII and AuchinIeck
For Indian Positions
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 19.-Unofficial
observers today suggested the
possibility that an American
general was being considered
along with several British officers
for commander in chief of the
new separate East Asia military
command which may take over
direction of a knockout blow
against Japan.
The formation of the new COM
mand was promised in a London
announcement of the appointments
If Field Marshal Sir Archibald P
Waveli as viceroy of India and Gen
Sir Claude Auchinleck as military
commander in chief in India to sue
ceed Marshal Wavell.
Britons cheered the appointments
which were interpreted as fitting
into the Allied grand strategy of a
multi-front war.
Staff Reshuffling Expected.
No disclosure of the names under
consideration for East Asia com.
mander came from any authorita-
tive source, but a decision was eX-
pected within a few days.
(Of American generals now in
the Orient. 1t. Gen. Joseph w.
StilWell is the senior. He is COM
mander of United States troops
in China, Burma and IndiaD
1t seemed probable that no mat
ter who gets the appointment, some
reshuffing will result in the present
British general staff, where changes
might be necessitated by with
drawals TO fill posts in the new
command.
An announcement from No 10
Downing street said that, as the
first step in the plan to create
an East Asia command, cit is pro-
posed to relieve the commander
in chief in India of responsibility
for the conduct of operations against
Japan
Surprise Dominates Comments.
A note of surprise appeared to
dominate world press comments on
the Wavell and Auchinleck appoint
ments.
While some Indian papers de-
plored the appointments as meaning
no change in the present British
policy in India, others stressed
Marshal Wavell's knowledge of the
country and the need for settling
the japanese menace before all else.
The British press was virtually
solid in its praise and was quick to
tell readers that the appointments
were received warmly by Americans.
Several papers carried editorial
comment of leading United States
papers
Axis comment generally featured

Subsidy Backers
Map Fight On
.0PA Fund Cut
Stiff Opposition Seen
As MeKeIIor Opposes
Proposed Payments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With some indications Of at
least partial success, the admin
istration took hasty steps in the
Senate yesterday toward salvag-
ing the food subsidy program,
left hanging on the brink of OBJ
livion by a House revolt against
the price rollback
Acting Majority Leader Hill said
strenuous efforts will be made to
restore $35 900 900 in Office of Price
Administration funds cut off by the
House and to lift a restriction
against use Of OPA money to finance
the administration of subsidy pay
ments.
I'VE will try to give the OPA
what it must have to operate.
think the Senate realizes that Con-
gress cannot destroy something in
times like these without having
something better to OFFER" Senator
Hill said.
Mckellar Opposes Subsidies.
That this move would face stif
bipartisan opposition seemed indi-
Gated when Senator McKellar an
nounced he is opposed to subsidy
payments to roll back the price Of
food to consumers.
We'll give all of these things a
full hearing" the Tennesseean said,
but I am opposed to subsidies and
always have been"
Senator Nye. Republican, of North
Dakota said he hopes the House
vote will break the subsidy bottle
neck" and permit agricultural prices
to rise.
But Republicans were not unani-
nous in that stand. Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, argued that
the House action is not necessarily
conclusive on subsidies, even if it
Is sustained by the Senate, since 1t
merely forbids use of OPA funds
! for administration. He said 1t ap-
peared subsidies could be paid di-
rectly by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. If the administration
chose.
Il think we ought to have a show
down in the Senate directly on the
subsidy issue he said, expressing
belief it might be necessary to pro-
vide funds to carry out promises
already made.
U. S. C. of C. Praises Action.
Meanwhile, directors of the United
States Chamber of Commerce COM
mended the House "for its coura-
geous action in refusing to approve
the proposed food subsidy rollbacks"
and called for single head to
handle all food problems.
There was ample evidence, how
ever, of Democratic dissatisfaction
with the House subsidy action.
Chairman Truman of the Senate
War Investigating eCommittee COM
mented:
If We are going to remove the
controls. we might as well let the
river of imitation run its course.
We all hate controls. but we'll have
to take them and like them if we
are to curb imitation at ALL"
Secretary of Commerce Jones yes
terday directed RFC to underwrite
any financing meat packers need
pending payment of subsidies. His
office said some small packers are
unable to carry over until RFC
makes the first subsidy payment to
them in mid-July, under the meat
subsidy program already underway.

THE same holds true of the
Il writer's.
One big producer was refused
a place in governments service
largely because the government
was taking over half a million
from him in taxes. This year
he will give the government
$4,000 and the government
loses almost half a million.
Besides that, it is a simple
fact that this is going TO affect
the employment of thousands of
people. With the studio lack
ing stars and writers, all the
thousands of employees of the
studio will be cut.
The Staffs of the stars and
producers and writers will he
out of jobs. And the pictures
which every one thought were
important to keeping our minds
off our troubles won't be pro-
duced.
STARS are refusing TO sign
- any contracts. Writers are
Withdrawing and going into
other lines. Producers don't
know how in the world they can
get their plays on the screen.
And the motion picture industry
looks 10 Uncle Sam and says:
"We'd love to serve you and
generously. But Is IL smart 10
Kill the film industry and cheat
yourself OF millions?"

dustry said to me:

men must regard all others with
suspicion as in the days of Hit

of freedom and the brotherhood

If not servants, or if there is
no servant in the house. how
then is it 10 be concluded that a
visit of one person to the home
OF another is purely social? And
since when has that been part of
the business of any public au-
thority?
Can the cops come in and re-
quire the guests TO state the rea-
sons for their visit and make
their own decisions on the spot
that they are social and for the
purposes of the OPA, insuffi-
cient? Can the brown shirts
come in without permission and
question all present?

also that the neighbors, being

Grating a shakedown.
In any case, it is no business
Of the government. the police or
the neighbors what goes on in a
private dwelling of a law-abiding
American and this order of the
OPA is an invasion Of the home
and the private life of the
people.
OF course, these stipulations
will be resented and denounced
as an argument in favor of the
waste of gasoline and the sacri-
flee of American lives in war in
North Africa.
That is a risk that must be
taken however, in pointing out

TO THE EDITOR:


THE matter of interest on war
- bonds has evoked consider
able discussion, many claiming
that under the emergency Of
war involving the life of our
nation and the liberty of our
selves, interest is unpatriotic.
But this thought does not pro-
ceed to its logical conclusion.
When in its great need our
country requires tremendous
sums of money, why should we
not give instead of lend? Dur
ing the recent great depression
a friend in discussing financial
aid to a person in need re-
marked: You don't help a man
by a loan; that just postpones
the headache and increases the
worry; TO help, you might as
well give
In this is a great truth. Why
postpone to our children and
from them TO our grandchildren
the problem of repaying the
money borrowed, increased by
interest?
When you buy a 500 bond
for SIS our country must pay
you at maturity one-third more
than it received. The program
of $70,000,000,000 of borrowing
a year for several years creates
a colossal future problem which
is difficult 10 envision.
Returning happily 10 the Y.
S. A. and civil life at the end
of the first World War, / was
impressed that one of the major
elements of strength in Amer
ica's position was that our
national debt - then almost
S35, 900, 100000 and considered
enormous--was small compared
10 the Indebtedness of other
leading nations. Taxes must be
paid out of wages, business. etc.
High taxes mean high prices for
the products of business; high
taxes mean reduced buying
power of the people. We debase
the living standard of future
Americans by huge and growing
national indebtedness.
When civic organizations are
formed TO promote good govern
ment, to render help 10 the
needy, crippled or underprivi-
legged, or to assist in other COM
munity service, people readily
contribute or give.
Our country is our greatest
civic organization. 1t is our
selves, our neighbors and the
community of the people of our
nation. It's safety and its con-
tinuance are more important 10
each and every American than
any $. other civic organization;
with its collapse would 60 all
the~ others. If you doubt this,
ask the enslaved, robbed, and
starved peoples of Norway,
Greece and Poland; with their
defeat went liberty and every
thing-even sufficient food for
life.
A certain war bond poster
shows a mother and child with
the reading: Il have given
man. What are you doing to
win the war;" Shouldn't this
latter question logically read:
What are you GIVING?"
Men in the service frequently
give their lives or their fine
physiqueS. What can we give TO
compare with that? But that
is not all our fighters are giving.

That platform also said:
mot n man, not a gun. not a

The Reds meant il then. That
was evidenced by their attitude

performed the enormous service
to the u. s. A. and England of
declaring war on Stain June 21,
1941.
The Reds, whose principles

They called strikes in defense
