No Excuse
For Wasting

No right thinking person will de-
nv the necessity for providing ev-
erything needed in the winning OF
this war. That is all the argument
that should be needed when it comes
to the raising of war funds. II
should be necessary to answer one
and only one questions the mon
ey needed for the proper support
of our fighting men?
No patriot will object to that sort
of expenditure. But the necessity to
win the war does not give an ex-
cuse for a wild extravaganza thai
results in a senseless squanderlng
of the peoples money 1t should al
ways be borne in mind that the
billions that are being spent to-
day must someday be paid back
if our nation is to remain solvent
The only method ever yet de-
vised for the repayment of these
billions is hy taxing the public
That means a reduced standard Of
living for the men and women who
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1944-01-20

will be taxed in future years, and
for their children. Therefore, while
there should be no stinting in the
support of the army and navy,
there should, at the same time, be a
careful watch that useless expendl-
lures do not creep in.
There is plenty of evidence that
this is happening today to repre-
hensible extent. AS witness the
work of the congressional commit
tee headed by Senator Byrd OF vir-
ginia. A few months ago that com
mittee reported it had saved the
nation two billion dollars IN cut
ting out expenditures that were no
needed in war time. And the com
mittee claimed that saving was only
beginning, scratching of the sur
face in what could and should b.
done.

Pressure Groups Point Way

Government by Majority Rule Ceases to EXIST

Votes for Concessions.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,es Analyst and Commentator.

Just what all this was getting at,
| understood a little better when
read an article by Freda KirchWay
in the Nation on the mood in Britain.
Miss Kuchway had interviewed a
number of people in England ana
she says that "hig business forces
in England have recognized more
clearly than these forces in Amer
lea the need for government con-
troll" They are ready, she says,
to accept the government as part
ner to save themselves from liqulda-
ton.
Some of the people interviewed by
Miss Kirchway gave her the impress
sion that they saw in the set-up
ahead "a successful, polite form OF
semi-fascism, which will prove ac-
ceptable to the key people OF these
groups. She doesn't agree with this
herself and she believes British la
Dor will be ready to fight it at the
second election after peace but she
believes these people believe it.

lists in the United States, ! do not

their shoulders and saying it is a

One thing may point in that direc-

in congress. Already many trades

The Change in

It is a perilous thing these days
to write more than an hour in adj
vance Of the invasion If one uses
the future tense. The majority Of
opinion las | write" Chats the saw
ing line) believes that the inva-
sion won't get under way until late
spring although one report through
Sweden said the Germans were ex-
pecting it between Christmas and
New Years.
But from the time that General
| Eisenhower was named as COM
mander and the other changes in
command were named, it appeared
that the shape of the whole Allied
plans for the assault on fortress
Europa began to change rapidly.
The speed with which the Russian
armies were moving toward the
German frontiers set new forces
in motion.
Suddenly the Mediterranean be-
cape less important In the picture
as Washington saw it. It was point
ed out that the British had a larger
force of men, ships and supplies IN
that theater than the Americans.
What had seemed the most impor-
tant thing in Europe to America
ever since our troops landed in
North Africa suddenly grew less i'm
portant. The Middle East, which
had looked as il it were the gather
ing point of a new blow through the
Balkans, perhaps with the help OF
Turkey, shrank on the horizon. The
shifting of British commanders
seemed to make this clear.
And then there were calls for
greater speed on the part of the
Allies, it seemed as if fear that
Russia might get to Berlin first was
stirring new activity and there were
stories that Spain was not as anxious
for Allied friendship as she was tc
keep the "Bolshevists' from getting
nearer her borders, that if she must
make new enemies, at least it was
better to have the Allies against hel
than to have Russia get too neal
her.
But even without these rumors, i
| grew clearer and clearer that the jot
: ahead was colossal. Hopes that Ger

Indicates He Is Now
German War Prisoner

Lieut.. Burton w. Caruso, a form
er Laurel resident and graduate Of
Laurel high school, is a prisoner of
war in Germany, according to a
letter dated May ID and addressed
to Mrs. Val Matross. The message
is on a printed form, apparently
prepared for use of war prisoners
and bearing German inscriptions.
He was a student at Eastern Mon
tana Normal at Billings, and re-
fers to faculty members letters he
appears to have received. He says
he was shot down while on a mis-
sion over Germany.
He expresses thanks for the let
ters, and adds: "Please explain my

than l had planned when last l saw

simple: 1 was shot (while) upon
