WAR SPENDING

Even while the robot bombs continue to fall on England and Brtons too well aware of the fact that the war is still going on, British economist has the courage to question his governments war spending program His comments, with changes the reader supply, might apply equally well to the situation in sthis country today:
 Tt has been proved over and over again by the absence of any discussion votes of credit for the war that the House of Commons whole takes no interest in the waste of public money, though com mon sense tells us that efficiency and economy go hand in hand and that is the duty of every officer or official entrusted with the expenditure of public money to see that it is efficiently spent and that none is wasted. Apparently this negligence on the part of the House of Commons is supposed to be patriotic and criticism of expenditure is sup posed to be unpatriotic Moreover, many Members
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-09-06

have adopted the fashionable idea that. as we can afford to borrow half expenditures, we shall be able to borrow freely and embark upon new social expenditure and extravagances of all kinds when the war is over; and not only so, but it is regarded as
 function of a Parliament, which has ceased to be representative to promote legislative projects involving expenditure running into hundeds of millions which the new Parliament after general election and the Chancellor of the Exchequer (whoever he may be- are to provide for thus ensuring an indefinite series of unbalanced budgets" tt.,
 War and waste of course, are inseparable. It IS impossible to know in advance precisely how many planes or guns or shells men are to be needed to achieve victory Consequently the Army and Navy ask for more of these things than they are likely to use or need You can't gamble with shortages when lives and battle at stake. 4 stara -a rnc
 And for the same reason member of Congress hesitates before he challenges request for appro- priation. -u
 However, there is tendency to carry this att- tude into other branches of the government which are not directly connected with the war-and this IS the thing which the average American doesn't like.
 There is the danger, too that the size Of the war expenditure may blind to the real size of the commitments we may make now for the postwar era-a real danger to future taxes and production. The scales out of balance now. s.e 'ro 's

PARATROOPER BOOTS

Proudest men in the U. s. Army are the paratroopers. They vol unteered for the most hazardous of all operations-not for the extra pay, but because of pride in their job, pride in their wings and in the boots of a parachutist, symbol ot the outfit which takes the biggest gamble in the war.
 Officers and enlisted paratroop- CTS play up the privilege of wear ing the special jump suits and jump boots; and the men who volunteer work hard and take big chances for the privilege of wearing them
 But recently, when they have filed up to get their boots, they have been told that the supply is depleted. Instead, they are given combat boots and, when they jump the buckles on the combat boots have to be taped down so they won't catch in the parachute's sus- pension lines.
 Reason there aren't enough boots unauthorized personnel, including many officers with no parachute training, are buying this mark of bravery for themselves

COP STATEMENTS ON WAGES

The steel workers, however, point to the COP platform, which says: We condemn the freezing of wages at arbitrary levels"
 Wendell Willkie, just before the Republican convention, also came out for high wage level. saying "Our postwar economy must be built on a high wage level Our wheels can keep turning only if our workers can keep spending. ,
 Biggest Republican argum n against breaking the Little Steel formula has been that FDR has no right. to change it without going to Congress for approval. However, Republican Senator Taft of Ohio made a speech during the debate on the mith-Connally bill which labor researchers have dug up to hurl in the teeth of this contention Said Taft:
 The President could change the Little Steel formula tomorrow as far as We are concerned There is nothing to prohibit that being done. The President may say that, for the efficient prosecution of the

LITTLE STEEL" BATTLE

Biggest issue facing both labor and the Roosevelt Administration is the Little Steel formula and the intensive campaign on the part of the CIO steel workers to break it.. For nearly year, they have been making representations to the War Labor Board demanding an increase,
 The steel workers argument is based partly on President Roose- velt's statement in September, 1942.
 If wages should be stabilized and farm prices be permitted to rise at any rate like the present rate" he said, workers will have to bear the major part of the increase
 Steel workers point out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics now admits the cost of living has risen 25 percent. The Mitchell Commit tee, appointed by War Labor Board chairman William Davis to inyesti- gate the cost of living. goes further and says costs have risen 30 per- cent Organized labor economists figure the cost of living has leap ed 45 percent since January of l941.
 Labor is now charging industry members of the War Labor Board with playing politics with the Little Steel formula
 Inside fact is that all the public members and labor members of the steel panel are now agreed that a wage increase for steel workers is essential. They have even gone over Jimmie Byrnes' head to the

Three Peas
Washington Post)


 Tut-ankh- Amen has broken into the news again It seems that included in the wealth of material dis covered when his tomb was excavated was supply of small dry peas. Their historical significance IS obscure. One theory advanced is that King Tut ln- tended to support himself in the after life by means of the old shell game, but this seems improbable since any pawnbroker would have underwritten his future willingly after one look into the tomb. We hold to the simple explanation that the Pharoah fancied a tasty lamb stew with dish of peas on the side and feeling the uncertainty that most of us experience regarding strange and unknown places he thought it wise to take the ingredients with him.
 In any event, King Tuts expectations did not work out according to plan and it was almost 33 centuries before the peas again came to notice At the time of the excavation three of the peas were sent by an archeoogst to friend in the United States who planted them and saved the seed Now we learn that the second and third generations nave recently been produced at Army Air Force Scnool in Florida by an Army officer as hobby. We are glad to report that the resultant product is superior vegetable with walnut flavor and not the slightest attraction for the ubiquitous garden pests, Evidently it's not essential age vegetables for 3S cen curies, but obviously it helps. sas # %,

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER T

Benefic aspects dominate today although minor adverse planetary influences are present.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should stick to routine tasks to- day. Nerve strain and inability to concentrate may affect efficiency The seers stress the importance ot rest and recreation. Girls employ ed in the war industries may feel the effects of monotonous work but they must not relinquish jobs Sc long as health permits them to be useful
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Financial crises may affect our South Am erican neighbors as. Autumn pro- gresses and Government changes disrupt business routines. Argen- tina and Bolivia are under threat ening configurations which may cause heavy losses in foreign trade.
 NATIONAL ISSUES! Lack of enthusiasm in the national political campaign may be evident this month when war developments should emphasize the importance of assuring strong leadership in Washington. The stars presage a bitter campaign next month when a national sensation is foretold.
 INTERNATIONAL AIR s {: Despite terrible reverses early in the Summer, China is to make good progress in the long conflict in which the Japanese have enjoyed many advantages. Substantial aid from the Allies will accomplish even more than could be foreseen by the United Nations officers who directed military and air reinforce ments.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of sub stantial gain. New ideas should be accepted and old handicaps re- moved.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate in whatever they undertake; foresight and cau- tion will guide them.

REVOLT IN ILLINOIS


 Out in Illinois, Green also went to the unusual length of endorsing COP Congressman Stephen Day who sent a telegram of congratula- tion to Hitler when the latter rose to power and who had one of his (Day's) books published by the Nazi-financed publishing house Flanders Hall
 When local AFL units heard of Bill Greens unusual action, there was a storm of protest. Oscar Sturm, vice president of the Staun- ton, Ill, trades council, represent ing all AFL unions in the vicinity started a revolt against Green ano secured vigorous support from Dan Tobin and T. E. Flynn of the team sters union, the largest AFL af- filiate.
 In East St. Louis, H., the central AFL also has started revolt against Greens endorsement o1 Congressman Day.
 These revoIts in Illinois and Ne vada come on top of similar situa- tions in North Dakota and Texas where Bill Green endorsed rabid isolationist Senator Nye for re- election and also Congressman Mar tin Dies. In both cases, local AFT councils overrode their chief in Washington. It was labor oppo- sition which had much to do with Dies decision to back out of the reelection race.

DRAFTEE CRISIS TN CANADA SAID QUELLED

Ottawa, Can., Dec. LAP The conscription crisis here has cooled off, it was reported today, as discipline is declared to be restored among the rebellious draftee troops on the west coast.
 An appeal to be calm went out to the people In Quebec from one of their foremost anti-conscrip- ton leaders.
 It was announced, however. last night that the provincial gov- ernment in Quebec adopted an or der in the council asking for fed eral government respect to fulfill it's solomn engagements and sac red pledges against conscription for overseas service.
 The anti-conscriptionist view of the French speaking minority of Canada was laid before the par liament last night by P. J. A. Cardin, former works transport minister who resigned in 1922 because of the conscription issue in the face of sporadic disorders in Quebec. He appealed to his people to avoid damaging prop erty and endangering lives.

 Tank fighters tracked them all down, sinking a 9,000-ton trans port three smaller fregihters, en- gulfing a 5,O00-ton transport and a destroyer escort in flames, in contrast to Wednesdays erasure of a 13-ship convoy, in which two of the ships reached shore with the endorsements for Or moe. This convoy didn't even get close to the port.
 One freight was bagged as far west as Mindoro by a night fight CT plane. Others, including the heavily loaded transport, were blasted off Kasbate and also off Cebu.
 The Tanks went in at masthead heighth as they raised the en- emy's reinforcement losses in at tacks on seven conveys to 29 transports, aggregating 103,750 tons, and 18 escorting warships, sunk.
