lust Between
Ourselves
BY PHILIP H. LOVE,
Editor, The Junior Star.

Charles Stebbins, Central High
School correspondent of The Junior
Star, has gone into the Navy. And
it's a very interesting and strenu-
Gus life he's leading at the Naval
Training Station at Great Lakes,
ILL.,. judging by a letter I received
from him recently.
1--WE get up at S." he wrote. "In
10 minutes, we had better be on the
drill field. After a few setting-up
exercises, We run a quarter of a
mile. Then back to the barracks we
60, and clean house. I always hated
to work before breakfast, but I am
getting hardened"
Charlie passed all his trade-school
examinations with an average of
80. He had hoped to become an
aerial gunner, but his eyes weren t
good enough. Instead, he was rec
commended for training as a tor
pedoman. "Ill take the torpedoes," !"
he said, "and shoot them so fast,
the Japs will think I'm a gunner" )"
The morning he wrote to me,
Charlie was standing in the "chow
line" when, to his surprise and de-
light, he discovered a boy who grad
uated with him last June. Sidney
Conner was the last person in the
world I'd think of seeing here" he
commented. Sidney is studious,
and thought he would go to COL
lege."
II don't mind saying" Charlie
continued, that we are getting the
devil worked out of us. It's good for
most of the children here. Some of
these kids have never done q lick
OF work in their lives. It's good for
them, and good for me, too. I'm
learning to keep my mouth shut at
the right times, and to open it at
the right times"
To Charlie, Lake Michigan is '1ike
an ocean-big and Deep" The day
he wrote, his company marched
about 10 miles to the lake to watch
boat race. From where we were,"
he reported, "I saw an aircraft car
rier riding at anchor out on the
horizon. It's used for training, and
is the only one I know OF on the
Lakes"
As to what he thinks Of "boot
training" at Great Lakes, Charlie
conceded it is "one of the toughest
periods of naval career" But he
hastened to add, Even with all the
work, I like it." And he concluded: /:
I'm going to wash clothes now.
I think that. after the war, I'll open
a laundry"
Jeanne Barinott, whose article on
the Mckinley High School bank was
commended in this column recently
in letter from boy in Brazil,
wrote in to say: I'm glad I'm help
ing the good neighbor policy. The
Star surely does get to distant
places. Several times recently, I've
heard of Marines in the South Pa
cific reading The Junior Star"
Charlie Stebbins' letter reminds me
that poll taken at Woodrow Wilson
High School just before graduation
showed that SIS per cent of the boys
expected to enter the armed serv-
ices. OF the girls, IS per cent
planned to go to college. :. . Shirley
Turner, Central, postcarded from
Atlantic City: I'm having fine
time here, making myself useless
around the Press Union" "I am
helping my grandmother in all the
ways can, so she can go out to work
In war job" said a note from
Louise Wyatt, 10, Mount Rainier
Md) Elementary School. II carry
clothes to the cleaners and back. I
also run great many other errands,
and help out all I can at home. This
Is my war work"

BY ROSA ENGLAND, IA,

My dream for the future is every
ones dream,
A dream of a world so free.
Where people may laugh and play
again
And know the meaning of liberty:
Where people may always speak
freely,
And work together, too,
And soldier boys no more will fight,
But will know the job is through; ;
Where banners may wave freely
And not molested be,
And happiness and friendship
Reach from sea to sea.
All these things, and others, too,
We shall know some day;
Twill be the great reward come true,
And the dream that I picture
today.

The delegation itself Is COM
posed almost exclusively Of repre-
sentatives of the Peace Depart
ment," as the State Department
is sometimes called.
1t has been revealed that the
oficer loaned by the joint chiefs

Is the recently promoted Maj.
Gen. John r. Deane, who is re-
garded by all his superiors as an
outstanding strategist.

Gen. Deane as secretary OF the
joint (American and combined
British and Americana chiefs of
staff has participated at all the
highly important meetings Of the
two bodies and Is fully conversant
with all military problems which
may be raised at the Moscow
meetings.
Secretary Hull, who has never
interfered in military strategy
and believes that in time of war
the Army and Navy officers
should be sheltered from civilian
interference and armchair strate-
gists, asked for = good man" to
60 with him to Moscow. Although
Gen. Deane was considered indis-
pensable by the two strategy
framing bodies, he was ordered to
Join the State Department mis-

taxes and greatly reduce the reve-
nues OF the Government. The sub
stitute proposals upon which they
insist. would, in effect, exempt from
taxation the millions Of individuals
who, Mr.. Morgenthau agrees, have
possession OF four-fifths of the sur
plus buying power that threatens
imitation. They would also increase
the taxes upon the relatively small
classes already taxed pretty close to
the point OF confiscation.
1t is discredit to the administra-
ton that the President and Mr..
Morgenthau should be linked with
these CIO spokesmen In their oppo-
sition to the sales tax and their de-
mand for repeal of the victory tax.
Their cooperation in this is a con-
tradiction Of their own insistence
that the national interests require
the absorption Of the surplus money
and nullification Of their professed
objective of $40 ,oOo, 900 900 additional
revenue. II there is any reasonable
explanation of the administration
attitude other than a political one,
1t has not been advanced.
Political Tax Policies.
For the seven years between 1893
and 1s4l, the tax policies of the
New Deal were obviously and almost
avowedly political. In those years,
though intelligent people resented
it, they had come to expect nothing
else. But, after our entrance into
the war, and the subsequent i'm
mense pouring out OF public funds,
together with the Presidents pleas
for nonpartisan support, there was
hope that the administration would
take \ nonpolitical and broader
view Of this vital business of taxa
ton. That hope now has been dis
sipated by the recent administration
proposals and the demands of its
labor allies. 1t is doubtful whether
there has ever been presented to
Congress tax demands and proposals
more clearly in the interests of one
class, less in the interests OF the Ma
ton, more economically unhealthy
and less democratic.
1t would be fine thing, indeed,
II Congress. seeing clearly the poll
tics that links the labor lobby and
the executive department on this
tax question, and resenting the
domineering and dictatoriaI man
ners OF the labor bullies. should
measure up to It's opportunity and.
dlsregarding both orders and
threats, pass really sound and
adequate bill. There is here an op-
portunity for Congress to serve the
country, to enhance its own self
respect and to debate men swollen
with power and White House favor,
not the least unpleasant of whose
characteristics is their habit OF sat.
urating their pompous pronounce
ments with great sobs Of self-praise

This Changing World

From the indications received
from Moscow the actual leader Of
all the teams will be Premier
Stain. At present the Premier
marshal is more military than
politically minded. To him the
political matters which prey on
the minds of American and
British government officials are OF
secondary Importance.
Stain thinks that the main
thing Is to defeat Hitler. Later.
he maintains, the questions OF
boundaries, freedoms and re-
organization of the world on a
better basis can be discussed with
leisure.
Wants Cooling-on Period.
Like President Roosevelt, he
believes there must be a cooling
OF period In Europe, which may
last several years before an
actual peace treaty can be con-
ceived. And in this time there
will be sufncient opportunity to
flnd out what the people them
selves, and not the governments
in-exile, are thinking regarding
the future OF their respective
countries.
This viewpoint is not fully
shared by the American dele
gates who believe that some
definite outline in keeping with
the pledges Of this Government
must be agreed on at Moscow.
But they are the guests OF the
Soviet government and If the
Russians insist that military
matters such as the second front
in Western Europe take preced-
ence they will not be able to
help themselves and will fall in
line.
Since Mr.. Hull knows only the
general outline Of our plans and
is not in a position to discuss
from his own knowledge and
experience the pros and cons OF
a second front, Gen. Deane will
be of great assistance. He has
a first-hand knowledge of every
thing that has been discussed at
the meetings between the Amer
ican and the British chiefs of
staff. Moreover. he has at the
tips OF his fingers the details
regarding our forces in Europe
and the complexities of our stra-
tegic problems.
The Russians are more anxious
now than ever that we begin the
attack on Western Europe. We
are Just as anxious that in the
next six months the Russians
continue to apply their entire
military might against the Nazis
to prevent them from moving
troops into Northern Italy.
A good common ground may
be found in Moscow to reconcile
both points OF view.

fixed by the entree. 10 that people
eat more than they want, be-
cause 1t Is cheaper to take the
whole list than to order la carte.
II you buy more than your
rationed share by patronizing the
black market, you realize that
you are acting in a most unpatri-
otto manner, and conniving with
your butcher or grocer on a pun
ishable ofIense. But all that you
would not dream of buying on a
black market uncooked, you can
purchase legitimately at a res
taurant table.
Your sugar ration will not per-
init you to make many desserts
at home. You feed the children
on packaged puddings. But II
you have the price there Is Ger
tainly bake shop or a confec-
TONERS nearby where you can
buy everything you cannot bake
in your own kitchen, including
icing.
A Breaker-up Of Homes.
One theory behind rationing
is Just distribution Of what food
there is. The rich are not to have
more than their share of it. A
fortnight ago I saw a party of
six in a famous New York restau-
rant pay bill Of over 500 for a
dinner In which they had con-
sumed more than a weeks ra-
tions for a whole family. But
that was not buying on Black
Market.
Yet it is impossible for me to
understand why it should be
criminal to buy steak raw
without ration points and legiti-
mate to buy it cooked without
ration points. The only differ
ence Is that in one place YOU
stand up to buy and in the other
you sit down.
Either there is a shortage of
food demanding rationing or
there isn't. If there is, food
must be rauioned, and points de-
llvered, no matter where and
how the food is bought and con-
sumed. Thirty million people
eat in restaurants every day. In
the cities it is becoming i'm
possible to get tables without
ordering hours in advance.
1t is the home and the family
table that suffer. No one can in.
v1te a few friends in for 4 meal.
But he can stuff them at his ex-
pense at a night club.
AS long as this situation con-
tlnues, rationing is a hoax. It
Is not a conservcr of food, but
a breaker up OF homes.

Murray OF the CIO, who tell mem
bers OF Congress what they will

The truth Is that the insolence
OF these professional labor lobby

some OF the meaner spirited mem
bers OF Congress are feeling re-
sentful and only the lowest among
them openly truckle. They (these
