Tomorrow is a Lovely Word

Luck? Beth felt that she was the
luckiest girl IN the world. Already.
HER house was In the making.
Mrs. Eichel had thrown kerself
into the project. listing the house
for applicants, checking the inven-
tory. debating notes about laundry
lists, china, fuel, everything that
Beth didn't know about Andrea
was buying yards and yards OF
chintz at wholesale prices. select
ing lampshades. making pillows.
Bert Blake and Harry Cole mad
gathered group Of men TO do the
painting IN the evening. Marion
Blake's sewing machine was set up
in the living room on Dornlee
drive. and Marion. her mother and
her sister said they could Lave all
the curtains made in a week.

nella, large and black and smiling.
was engaged TO do the cooking. and
said If she didn't have to cook on
Saturdays she could do the laundry
and her two high-school-age daugh-
ters would take care of the IRON
ing. The telephone and light COM
panies were taken care Of by the
bank
A man was engaged to build
bookcases and shelves in every
room. and Andrea, setting herself
up at card table, with stack Of
picture frames from the l0-cent
store and flower prints cut from
magazines. kept an eagle eye on
them as they worked.
Eleven days from the day Beth
took over. the house was ready for
occupancy. Monks cloth covers on
the beds Turquoise pillows on
wicker chairs. Flowered chintz at
windows over petticoats of ruffled
dimity. white-painted book-shelves
and flower prints on the cream
walls. These were the bed-sitting
rooms, In the living room, slip-cov-
ers disguised old furniture, low ta-
bles held mounds of magazines and
bowls of flowers. There was new
music on the old-fashioned grand
piano, a fire burning in the CRATE.
Andrea and beth stood before
their handiwork.
ITS a dream Of a house. And,
averaging $40 a person. we'll
make scads of money" Andrea said
dreamily.
II hope we do. But II won't be
for us. We're lucky to get our
room and my salary. / think SIS

Something right from Santa
Claus, darling" Andrea said hap

agreed. You know what / think.
Andy? I think the bank owns this
house. / don't think it's a private
owner at ALL"
"Of course" Andrea told her ad-
mlringly. That would explain It.

we can live in it. It's beautiful"

would be frozen. The delays in
settlement could force many con-
Germs into bankruptcy. 1t would
mean unemployment by audit.
"The essential point to remember
about these contract settlements Is
that they be fair-fair both TO the
government and to the contractor,
What is fair can be determined
just as we'll in a matter Of weeks
as in years
This report demands speed in
the full restoration of private en-
terprise by getting cash into the
hands OF the people who could use
IL to the greatest advantage. II
sets up projections against frauds
but II rejects the concept that to
prevent fraud It is necessary to
delay the restoration of sane eco
nomy. 1t rejects the theory that
because some industrialists may
be selfish, greedy or crooked, 1t is
wise to penalize the whole Ameri-
can people
A complete financial kit is the
heart of the Baruch philosophy Of
action and its object is to take the
government out OF business as soon
as possible. Let me quote IL:
Il. Immediate payment - the
full 100 per cent-for all completed
articles.
"3. On the uncompleted por-
tion OF the contract. immediate pay
ment--the full 100 per cent-of the
governments estimate of 'factuai
items, where proof ordinarily is
simple, such as direct labor or ma
terials, and of other items on which
the government is able to satisfy
itself, up to 80 per cent OF the
contractors total estimated costs.
%. Immediate payment - the
full 100 per cent-of settlements
with sub-contractors as soon as
approved.
~. Payment by the government

until settled.

"6. For those unaIe to obtain

the loans directly.
~. Until the new r loans are
authorized by Congress. extension
of V and VT loans to all eligible
borrowers.
"s. Finally. for hardship cases.
unable to use any OF the tools out
lined above, expedited settle
ments."
Note the emphasis upon full i'm.
mediate payments, upon the use of
local banks, upon speed in getting
private money into work again.
This Is American enterprise-the
kind that built this country in the
past 1t is what We have been ask
ing for the past ten years.
The Ypsilanti daily press., 1944-02-24

Americans often complain that
with all the planning that has been
discussed during the past decade,
our economy has been without plan,
purpose, or philosophy of action.
The real difficulty has been that
an attempt was made TO establish
socialist controls over a capitalist
operation.
The confusions and contradic-
tions arising from this paradox are
responsible for most Of our difncul.
ties, and the inevitable concentra-
tion of authority in wartime has in
creased their compleXity. The
value OF the Baruch report lies in
the single fact that II rejects any
compromise with Socialism. Baruch
emphasizes the Importance of get
ting money and plants back into
the hands OF its owners as speedi-
ly as possible. He says:
IF plants are choked with gov
ernment property, equipment. in
Ventories, and work in process,
manufacturers will not have room
for the new equipment and new
materials to produce peacetime
goods. Or, II their working capi-
tai remains frozen in unpaid-for
government work, they will lack
the money to start up their busi-
nesses afresh; 10 buy new materials
and new equipment, to pay their
workers.
Business would be at a stand
STILL workers and returning SER
vicemen would walk the streets.
while the government was figuring
how to pay what ii owed"
But he goes even further:
We recommend quick, fair and
final settlement OF terminated war
contracts through negotiations by
the contractors and the procure
ment agencies"
He rejects the slowing-up pro-
cess of audit by the comptroller
general which he says would quib-
BILE the nation into a panic. He
adds:
"lf such an audit before pay.

tor would know where he stood.

isn't measured by the length Of
time he spends sitting IN the
House. Nor is a Congressman s
job just making speeches or answ.
ering letters from his district.
Most OF the time a congressman
Is busy with what is known as
committee work. II the man
happens TO be a fierce fact-finder.
as Boss Engel is. then the commit
tee work means research. checking
with this and that official, even
trips to war plants and construc-
ton projects.
Then there Is the constant need
to keep in touch with what goes on
in the various government bureaus,
especially those over which the
congressman committee has spe-
cial jurisdiction. With Engel, that
means the War Department, since
he is member OF the War sub
committee of the House .Approprla-
tions Committee.
The infrequent speech on the
floor is really the end OF a long
piece OF work. For example, the
Muskegon Republican has. been
working for months on an expose
of costs of building the Pentagon.
1t took long checking of data and
figures. He promises the long
awaited speech within a week..
