Eisenhower Informs
Germans That Allies
will Not Supply Food
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gen. Eisenhower today bluntly
informed the German people
that they cannot count upon
food, fuel or clothing from the
military government" and must
rely on their own resources.
The "scorched earth policy" of the
retreating Nazi army will serve only
to multiply the suffering and hard
ships Of the German people, he said
in a proclamation read over Allied
transmitters in Europe and reported
by the Office Of War Information.
"The Allied armed forces will i'm
port the bulk of their requirements" i"
the proclamation said. IF they
should be in position to give help
TO the population of Europe, this
help will primarily go to the popula-
ton Of the countries which have
been ravaged and plundered by the
German armies. The German peo-
pie will have to rely on its own re-
sources. 1t Is Of highest Importance
that these resources should not be
destroyed by the Nazis' scorched
earth policy"
Food supplies, seeds, fertilizers
and agricultural machines must be
salvaged above ALL" Gen. Eisen-
hover said, IF hunger is not to
follow the defeat, German farmers
must by all possible means prevent
the Nazis from driving away their
cattle as the Allied armies advance.
They must do everything in their
power to keep their farms in order
and to achieve peak production"
THE German Army will be de-
feated," the proclamation said.
Larger and larger portions of Ger
man territory will be occupied by
the Allied armies until the National
Socialist government and the Ger
man armed forces finally surrender
or until they are crushed.
"The hopes of the German peo-
pie to avoid economic collapse after
the defeat are largely dependent
upon the extent of German opposi-
ton to the Nazi plans to destroy
German property and German nat
ural resources before the occupation

Reception in Moscow
Given for De GuuIIe

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Dec. 5.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle, head of the French pro-
visional government, was honored
yesterday by Foreign Commissar
Molotov at reception attended by
Moscow's Allied and neutral diplo-
matte colony. The luxurious Spiri-
donovka Palace was thronged with
hundreds of guests. Buffet tables
were lavishly spread with food and
drink.
The party was attended en- masse
by the French residents of the
Soviet capital. The American
charge d'affaires, George F. Ken
nan; British Minister John Balfour
and representative of the Polish
Committee of National Liberation,
Stefan Jedrachowski, were among
those invited to the special salon
where Mr.. Molotov and Gen. de
Gaulle exchanged toasts. The Brit
ish Ambassador Sir Archibald John
Clark Kerr, also was guest.

by Allied troops. The scorched-earth
policy does not affect the Allies, as
the Allies bring their own supplies.
The German people, on the other
hand, will suffer severe hardships
through this policy.
"The military government will
not give any compensation for pub
lie utilities, buildings, supplies,
mines or industrial installations
which have been destroyed by the
Germans in carrying out their
scorched-earth policy.
"As long as the German Army
obeys the Nazi orders to prolong a
futile resistance the Allied air and
ground forces are bound to inflict
heavy material damages upon Ger
many. The sufferings and hard
ships thus created will multiply
themselves If the German people
itself carries out the Nazi plans to
transform Germany into a desert.

WORRY ABOUT
POSTWAR JOBS
Observation-Disclosures seems
inclined to worry about postwar
Jobs.
A guiding line Of national thought
has been established in that direc-
ton. The President is talking and
congress Is acting as II there may
be widespread unemployment, I'M
less great steps are taken. Stock
marketeers anticipate some kind Of
depression.
Some large investors have gotten
out Of the market In anticipation.
The CIO is making politics out of the
situation, educating" the public to
believe there will be no jobs for re-
turning soldiers unless their man
gets into every office.
In some degree, all the front
page news Of speeches and state
ments reflect this OutlO0k--an
outlook which Is strained and
fanciful when measured against
the pr0vable, but not widely rec
Ognized, facts.
The truth is bank deposits
have been rising lately at the
rate Of $20O,0O0,0 900 a week
cash i'm the hands of the people
is being stored at that amazing
rate. The total of bank deposits
now Is above $110, 200, 0O0, 900. I'm

The amount of cash thus stored
by the people already in this war
is above $4,000, 100000 good
spendable long green money with no
strings on it, a stack higher than
the people ever held before, nearly
2k times as much as they had in
the big boom year of 1929.

the big boom year of 1929.
AN UNPRECEDENTED RISE
The dean Of government econo-
mists, E. A. Goldenwiser of Fed
eral Reserve, said in a speech to
the Illinois bankers last week the
unprecedented rise in bank depos-
its" would reach between SIPS, 000,.
100000 and $3.50, 1000, 200, 900 by the
end of this war. He estimated war
expenditures to date at $210, 000.-
100000.
Now, In addition, the people hold
war bonds already amounting to
more than $4,000, 0O0,0 900, bonds
which can be spent for postwar
spending.
Thus the amount of spendable
money and bonds in private hands
today amounts to more than $780,.
00.00o,00 practically the same
amount as the government has spent
on the war.
Il may be unbelievable but it Ii
true-the private purse today al
ready has swollen to the unprece-
dented fairness Of the government
war cost 50 far, and this trend will
continue. It will be $3.50, 000. 900 900
by the end Of the war.
As everyone knows. furthermore,
the people are short every item Of
living. Together this vast hoard Of
the peoples cash and the equally
vast backlog Of the peoples needs
constitute an irresistible force for
amazing business. Indeed this force
Is so great, the problem Is the OPP
posite Of unemployment and depres~
sion.
KEEPING PRICES DOWN
The Job ahead is to keep prices
down, scarce materials allocated
equitably. and buying orderly so as
to avoid a runaway imitation. In
short, instead of a government
spending program, there must be
peoples spending program, not de-
signed to get them to spend, but
to restrain them to orderly spend
ing.
Instead Of there being any.
thing I'm the Clio political claim
that there will be no jobs for the
soldiers unless their man Is
elected, the truth II there Is o
danger Of business bidding for

I know one of the government
economists has told congress there
win be 10000, 900 unemployed. An
other Is saying the first IS postwar
months will see 5000, 900 let out Of
the armed forces and probably

And other times when busily at

drop everything and start yelling for
his rubber boots, at the sound Of

The fireman says he took a side
job in a factory to help win the
war. And he says he has a letter
from Washington praising him for
such patriotism. Whether Washing
ton favors the idea Of all firemen
busting from their shifts at the hose
companies to join the night force at
the war factory has not been stated.
But If so we hope the administration
won't encourage the police to be
similarly patriotic.
It's nice to know that when you
want cop you won't be told he will
come over when the shop closes.
The fireman says that he has had
numerous offers for his services
from factories at much higher pay
than fire departments pay. We trust
this will not be carried too far. Even
a war plant owner may find his house
on fire sometime. And it will annoy
him to discover that the fire depart
ment has closed down because Of the
trouble keeping the help.
