Graduation from high school he
declared to be just one step, warn
ing the graduates that there is so
much yet you don't know and
urging them to ready themselves
for the future by reading, by listen
ing, so that they may grow in
knowledge. THE business OF the
world is our business but we need
knowledge if we are to CO anything
about it. knowledge is terrifying
but it will save you. Luck plays its
part but you must be ready to capi-
talize on your luck-We can't all
be leaders, most of us will be led,
but we can choose who will lead
us"

EQUITABLE SACRIFICES?
(Christian Science Monitor)

(ChriStian Science MOnitOr)
The case that the CIO is laying before
the War Labor Board in the matter of
steel wages is no ordinary attempt to
gain higher pay. AS it develops, we be-
lieve that not only will the President be
placed under pressure to abandon the
Little Steel formula, but that Congress
will be asked to effect a substantial roll
back in prices.
That the CIO has broad social obiec-
tiveS and reforms in view including an
nual-income guarantees for which they
are now prepared to fight to the last
ditch, is indicated by the mass of mate
rial, the statistics, exhibits and other
arguments the organization has assem-
bled for the present hearing before the
WLB.
Part of this material has already leak
ed out in the recent attack on the Bureau
of Labor Statistics coSt-of-living index
Negative public reaction to labor's claim
of a 43 per cent rise in the cost of living
may color reception of some of the addi
tional material, but even the BIS figure
of % per cent rise might embarrasS
Congress should it insist that only an in
flexible Is per cent (allowed by Little
Z
of the general economic picture.
Especially would this be true should
labor point out, as it has every right to
do. that Congress failed to implement
the stabilization program with the taxes
and subsidies required to draw line
against initiation, and has continuously
made threatening gestures against the
stabilizatiOn program.
That labor has very definite interests
and rights in the applications of any
thing so far reaching and deep reaching
as the fight against initiation cannot be
denied. And if part of the present drive
is transferred to Congress it may do
much to obtain more effective initiation
ary controls.
But this will be true only if the CIO
has sufficient craftsmanship to see it
self as only one segment in the national
economy and does not blindly seek wage
increases as the total solution to its prob
lem, when it is plain to be seen that lack
of money is only part of the problem in
an economy where many shortages and
restrictions exist because of the war.

SALES TAX SENTIMENT
STEADILY GETS STRONGER
CLOS Angeles Times)

CLOS Angeles Times)
1t is heartening to note that common
sense public sentiment in favor of a Fed
eral sales tax to pay part of the war
cost is steadily increasing, according to
latest figures from the Gallup poll.
There has been heavy swing since last
May and lighter one since last Novem-
Der, but in the same direction. Now, ac-
cording to Gallup, 55 per cent of the peo-
pie favor the Federal sales tax, only "a
per cent prefer boost in income taxes
instead, and IL per cent are undecided.
In May the income tax had margin,
with support by AZ per cent, as compared
with AZ per cent for sales taxes and II
per cent undecided In November 52 per
cent were for the sales tax, 81 per cent
for the income tax and 13 per cent unde-
cided Of the Republicans polled, 60 per
cent were for the sales tax; of the Demo-
Gratis, 81 per cent.
On the question of whether taxes
should be increased to meet war costs 48
per cent said yes" AZ per cent mo" and
10 per cent were undecided. Considering
the dislike most people naturally have
for taxes, this support for higher levies
is remarkable showing.
