Democracy won't get a break in Europe

SOLDIERS MUST
BE GIVEN VOTE

When congress reconvenes 10 days
hence, it should lose no time if enacting
the framework for extending the vote
TO the nations millions of soldiers over
seas. The main, and perhaps, only part
congress can play is 10 set up machinery
whereby the various states may go
ahead and complete arrangements for
registration, distribution of ballots and
collecting them for counting.
In attempted legislation just before
congress recessed for the holidays, there
was pickering and charges of insincerity.
The LucasGreen bill in the senate was
loaded down with balloting plans repug-
nant to Republicans and various attempts
of Senator Taft and others to compromise
on these issues failed Then the debate
swung to states rights and in the end
the whole matter was left up to the
states, but with no action on the part
congress must play.
While the maj ority in congress should
not be expected to pass up chance to in
clude some clever electioneering through
OWL and in the election machinery it
self, the Republicans should not be too
exercised at that bold attempt. From
all reports the soldiers abroad are better
informed on issues and know better what
they want than the average person at
home who will go to the polls next fall
in what well may be the nations most
crucial election.
Let's stop haggling. Let's give the SOL
diers the means of registering their SEN
timents and trust to their intelligence
to do the rest. Certainly upwards of
three million men, maybe 10 million by
election time, should not be deprived of
having their say in this election, in which
those chosen will have the responsibility
of starting the country off after the end
of the war-an endeavor in which the
fighting men have the outstanding inter-

CASHING CHECKS

1t would seem that timely warnings"
on cashing checks when the endorser is
not known personally or cannot pro-
duce gilt-edge Identification evidence is
no longer necessary. Since the first
check was written as means of transact
ing business, these warnings have been
given in various ways. But at this time
there appears the need for a special
warning. 1t hinges on the tremendous
number of checks issued by the federal
misunderstanding like 25,000,000
monthly. With the inauguration of de-
pendent soldiers pay, the total has sky
rocketed. Because of the inability of
people who receive these checks to go to
banks and because many are unfamiliar
with checks, neghborhood stores are
being called upon to act as bankers.
The rub comes, however, because an
amazing number of these checks are
stolen and endorsements, of course, forg-
ed. Banks have organized to care for
this flood of checks by having depart
ment for that purpose. 1t is up to the
other establishments cashing these checks
to guard against fraud The store that
cashes a fraudulently endorsed check is
the loser and there is little chance for
recovery.

STILL THE WAR
DEBTS CANARD
(Toronto Globe)

(Ioronto GloDe)
A Strathroy reader has written this
paper to say how she has been disturbed
recently by remarks in the United States
to the effect that Great Britain has never
paid back cent of the war debts IN
Cured in the last conflict.
For the lessons conveyed some of the
war-debt problems might be recalled.
In the first place, Britain didn't take
any cash from the United States. She
purchased war materials and food sup
plies at inflated prices, said by Amerl-
can authorities to be three to eight times
normal costs. Up to April, 1917, when
America entered the war, these purchases
amounted to S3,24l 100000 and were paid
for on the line Subsequent purchases
on credit were valued at 1852 10000
The Committee for the Consideration of
Intergovernmental Debts, with headquar-
ters in New York City, placed payments
on the latter account at more than ST.
110000,000, apparently including inter-
est and principal. That is, for total pur
chases amounting to $7,603 100000 pay
ment of S5,351 ,000 900 was made.
Further, it should be recalled that
Britain cancelled the debts owing her
by her allies, exceeding what she her
self owed, because she knew attempts
to pay would destroy international econ
omy. She counted on German repara-
tions payments to meet her bills.
If Britain could have handed over the
notes representing the unpaid war debts
owing her, some $4,000, 100000 without
interest, America would have had 200
cents on the dollar-on paper.
Wiser counsel is prevailing this time,
as a result of experience.

Altogether, the industry today

RECORD OUTPUT

During 1943, there was produced
and distributed a record volume of
food, despite almost incredible diff
ficulties and shortages of machines,
materials, packaging, fertilizer,
transport, and labor, including 8.8
per cent fewer food processing en-
ployes and per cent fewer store
employees than in 1912.
Even with many familiar food
items short or entirely missing,
125, 100000 American civilians were
served diet more abundant and
nutritious than most people ele-
where knew. On top of this, the
industry provisioned 100000 in
the armed services, and sent noun
tains of food abroad In fact, a
fourth of our agricultural food pro-.
duction was allocated to military,
Lend-LeaSe, and other special needs,
compared with IA per cent in 1912
and per cent in 194l.
