. Your Opinions


Editor The Times: The gov
eminent freezes wages and sal
aries, yet every day the WLB
grants pay increases. There are
to be no more strikes, yet work
ers continue to strike. If you
own property and are compelled
to make major improvements,
you are not permitted to increase
the rent. The government en-
ters into competition with prop
erty owners, erects building prof.
Gets, and then raises the rent.
The property owner is prohib-
tied from ousting tenants. no
matter how destructive they may
be, or how delinquent in making
rent payments. The tenants may
even take in boarders and ROOM
ers, run up high water bills, and
the owner of the property is help
less. Why is the property owner
made the goat? S. J. S.

Ing where they were quartered.
The blast was the fourth major

of the building, left others virtually
untouched.

Butler Says keose-Lend
Stirs Up JeoIousies
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Senator Butler, Republican, Of
Nebraska, who recently made a one
man survey of Latin America, de-
clared today that the United States
is stirring up bitter jealousies among
some of the smaller South American
nations through unequal ALLEGATION
of lease lend supplies, especially mil
itary airplanes.
Added to reports of lease-lend
discomfort in other parts of the
world. laid before the Senate by its
special War Inspection Committee
in two days of secret sessions,
Senator Buffers statement under
scored the difficulty faced by Sena-
tors anxious to write a formal state
ment Of Americas postwar aims.
The Nebraska Senator said lots of
"disgusting and nutty" projects were
being carried out in South America
with American money, and that one
of the greatest potential trouble
breeders involved military planes.
IF one country gets a few less
planes than one of it's neighbors, "
he said, "it Immediately figures the
United States is building up the
neighbor for some ulterior purpose"
Senators of both parties conceded
the administration of lease lend IS
certain to figure heavily in debate
on any resolution the Foreign Re-
lations Committee brings out at
tempting to state the Nations post
war intentions.

Now Under Control
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. IL
Northern Michigan's forest fires,
though still serious enough to keep
more than 1000 fire fighters busy,
were virtually under control today.
Conditions appeared to be easing,
but woodsmen were alert to any pos
sible wind changes which might
send the flames roaring out Of hand.
An estimated 5000 acres of the
upper peninsula lay black or smoul-
dering from the five days of the
worst conf1agration in the woods
country in seven years.
The fire fighters still were striving
to isolate a 2,50O-acre blaze raging
in the Escanaba River tract south of
Gwinn. The terrain made the task
double difficult.
Airplane spoilers reported that
second blaze miles away had
burned across 1900 acres but was
under control During the five days,
54 separate fires were reported in the
upper peninsula.

D. T.. School Teachers
Finally Get Checks

The Districts 5000 public school
teachers got their September pay
checks today, 10 days after they
were scheduled to receive them.
The delay seriously inconven-
fenced many teachers. R. w. Holt,
school budget officer, and A. R. Pill
kerton, District auditor, said many
changes made in the payroll during
the summer made the checks late.
Though turnover in the staff and
arrangements of salaries for the
victory and withholding taxes have
made the checks late before, this is
the longest delay the teachers have
experienced. Teachers explained
that this is their first pay since their
July Is checks for work in June.
Mr.. Pilkerton has asked for four
accounting machines and an ad-
dressograph operator to guard
against future mechanical delay in
getting out the checks once they
reach his Office. Mr.. Holt has main
tanned that checks will now be on
time unless all the addressographs
have to be changed again to include
compulsory War bond purchases.

.Lease-Lend Criticism
In Senator'S Secret
Report Shocks British
BY the Associated Press.

os Ltic hSSUCldtcO FTeSS.
LONDON, Oct. l1.-Last weeks
secret" report Of five battlefront
visiting United States Senators, some
of whom were critical of lease-lend
dealings, particularly with Britain,
and of immediate foreign policy
commitments, came as something of
shock to the British public and
press.
There was little unofficial and no
official comment today on the off
the record report made by Senators
Russell, Democrat, of Georgia; ;
Chandler. Democrat. of Kentucky;
Mead, Democrat, of New York;
Lodge, Republican, of Massachu-
setts, and Brewster, Republican, Of
Maine, but the keen interest was
signifled by the prominent display
it received in the wartime re-
stricted press.
Little Editorial Comment.
The only newspaper to comment
editorially today was the conserva-
tive Daily Telegraph which termed
the criticism as relating to Great
Britain Childish nonsense"
The British press generally was
content TO let American commen-
tators themselves reply to the criti-
cisms. The New York Herald Tri-
bune and other newspapers were
quoted as condemning the Senators.
Apparently attempting to allay
some fears that the report might
have cast a cloud over American
British relations, the Sunday Times
Washington correspondent ex-
planned that the criticisms were di-
rected more at mismanagements by
Washington than at Britain.
Hopes for Clear-Cut Policy.
c. V. r. Thompson, New York
correspondent Of the Daily Express,
wrote that there is hope that good
will come out Of it ALL in the form
of clear-cut American foreign pol
icy.
Official Britain, busy with the
Italian campaign and the forthcom-
ing Moscow conference, so far has
kept silent on the report, although
one official who cannot be named
said that the present was no time
to stress differences in the British
American policy
Members questions. however, may
elicit some official reaction when
Parliament reconVenes,
