PAYING THE DEBT

The United States now in the midst Of it's biggest war in history spending money at the rate of $l0O billions year With the highest tax rates ever ap- piled in this country government is raising money at the rate of $40 billions annually and is borrowing the difference So when the war ends, American taxpayers will be in debt for 50 percent of the cost if things go along they probably will.
 Huge obligations usually made faster than they are paid and nobody expects to see the debt liquidated on Arfnistce Day. By the first of next month it will be S2O0 billions and experts seem to agree that the rate retirement will be around $20 billions year. about half of what are paying in taxes today This of course, is big sum to work eff in a year but the United States can do 1t If employment is high and jobs are still plentiful and well-paid
 The people who work of course, are paying most of the bill today and will pay it after the war Last year about two-rds of the taxes were paid in wages and salaries The Wall Street millionaires, all of those making than $25,000 year, even if taxed to take all income couldn't pay the bill because there not enough of them
 These men, however, can, if permitted, keep factories and plants running and jobs available for
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-06-24

the rest who will be obliged to work off the debt.
 That figure of s2o billions year is just about twice what the government was costing the United States at the peak of the New Deals prewar spend- ing five times what it cost under Herbert Hoover
 If corporation taxes are sky-high after the war the development which is needed to pay off the debt just won't be forthcoming. Taxes which strike off profits will investments to cease just as work would cease if wages stricken off. Both are paid from earnings on investments. Nothing makes new jobs but starting businesses enlargng old ones and both require investment. The Government can't remedy the situation by makework projects because eventually it will run out of tax sources with which to pay the bills.

Free Speech for Employers
(NeW York Timesl

tNew York Times)
 Rejecting a petition of the National Labor Rela- tions Board to have company and its president adudged in contempt of court for writing letter to it's workers after the company had been ordered to dissolve alleged company union, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia has unanimously ruled that the constitutional guarantee of free speech protects employer and employee alike. The decision, written by Judge Charles Alvin Jones, declares that the Wagner Act
 does not purport to authorize a restraint upon
 freedom of speech in any circumstances.
 Had there been such provision in the statute
 it would have been invalid as in contraven-
 tion of the First Amendment. Accord
 ngly, it is our opinion that it was not the
 intention of Congress to forbid an employer
 from expressing opinions as to labor unions
 or to anything else so long as his expressions
 do not constitute, contribute to- acts or
 threats of determinations, coercion or in
 timidation in denial of his employees free
 and untrammeled exercise of their rights as
 guaranteed by the (Wagner) Act
 This decision is very clear. Yet the Wagner Act has now been on the books nearly nine years, and during that period the NLRB has in fact given the freedom of speech of employers far different in- depreciation from that of union leaders. In their organization drives union leaders have been permitted to make virtually any statement they pleased about an employer his policies, and employers have often feared to reply to these charges even defensivel for fear of being held by the NLRB to be violators of the Wagner Act. In 1889 J. Warren Madden then chairman of the NLRB, testified before a Senate committee that an employer who called union leader a Communist might be held guilty of coercion under the Wagner Act if his statement were com- pletely true
 There is no for leaving any point in a law equivocal and therefore source of continuous dispute in the courts when it can easily be clarified The House of Representatives by two-thirds vote, included in series of proposed amendments to the Wagner Act one which insured liberty of expression of opinion for employers on labor matters when mot accompanied by acts of correction, intimidation dis elimination, or threats thereof" This bill, under Administration pressure, was buried in committee in the Senate A clarifying amendment would still be helpful aa

 They have come in contact with many famous and interesting people during their tour, including Secre- tary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau who attended their show in Lab rador; and Dashiell Hammet, author of the Thin Man" series, who is a corporal in the Aleutians.
 The troop has travelled in variety of ways, from jeep to dogsled. At one time they arrived at the army camp, military secret, after diffi- cult journey, only to find that every one had left the post to go skiing about 50 miles distant Borrowing an army plane, they located the sportsmen and dropped leaflets say ing that one USO show would be given at 4 o'clock that afternoon.

USO SHOW LAST
 EVENING ONE OF
 JUNEAU'S BEST

Juneauites and GIs were treated to bang-up good time last evening at the Grade School Auditorium when USO Camp Troop. number l28. put on one of the best shows that has ever hit Juneau.
 Bob varney, Manager and Master of Ceremonies, stole the show with his clever impersonations of every thing from a good fairy to drunk in Grand Central Station.
 Monty Sunshine, master magician, captured his share of the applause with his extremely clever tricks which all are still trying to figure out, especially the one in which he gave M. P. Pomorski little rubber ball to hold tight in his closed fist. A few moments later the very much bewildered young soldier opened his hand and at least 20 balls bounced out upon the floor.
 Bonnie Holland, singer, and Viv- ian Francis and Roberta Varney, dancers, all very pretty and very talented, were forced to perform again and again for their admiring audience
 Nick Verlaney, accordionist, ac- companied the girls and played solos. Nick is an excellent music ian and provides the dancers with plenty of rhythm.
