Of Course He'll Pay

It's just too bad but there's no
possible way Of getting away from
it. The soldier who is going through
the hell of war on foreign soil has
got to help pay for it after he gets
back home
Several instances have come to
our attention In which soldiers have
expressed themselves against hav-
ing to help pay for the war after
having fought it Recently cor
poral wrote from California to
national publication and, in part,
said.
Taxes are far too low The Amer
lean public has over SO billions
saved What is going to happen
when the war is over and the pub
lie has all this wealth. There will
be a run for goods. Raising the tax
es now will help pay our large debt
and also remove some of the sur
plus. Does the public want the sol
der to pay for it after they return
home?" .
Of course the soldier ought not
to have to help pay for the war.
But | wonder if he and many others
like him have stopped to realize
that the interest alone on this huge
debt we have piled up is going to
be more than it cost to run the en-
tire national government before the
u. S. went on the wild spending
spree of the past ten years. There is
no possible escape from it. The sol
der, his children and his grand
children will help pay for the past
ten years Of spending through many
long years after the war has end
ed That's why some able men, in
congress and out. keep insisting that
national spending be now reduced
to the smallest amount possible tc
win the war. Because it's the peo-
pie who have to pay for it in the
long run. There's no other way.

New Patterns
For America

A soldier writes. What do they
mean, fussing around about what
kind of an America we servicemen
want when we get home? Do they
value America as something that
can be changed with the seasons,
the same as Women's hats and
clothes2
We can't escape the notion here
that some people back home are
trying to fashion new patterns for
America running around with
ape-measures, shears, chalk and
things, safeguarding among them
selves ass to what style of tailor
made country will please US after
the war.
you tell these self-appointed de-
signers to let Uncle Sam alone.
When we get back, we want to see
his sWalloW-ta coat still there, and
his bcet-straps, tall hat and every
thing else that's familiar. His way
of dressing has been all right for a
long time. It's what we're fighting
to keep all right for long time to
come. Leave him be. Just have him
there to say Hello when we re-
turn-dressed the way we know
him.
Its swell that our first few
/ months in civvies are getting some
| forethought instead of the hind
! thought-or no thought-of the last
time.
When that period is over all that
we want is to be free to work al
what we can do best-with an en-
ployer who is free to expand-all
of us managed by someone who
knows how to weld us into going
1 business to the end that our work
/ and risk, in fair, open market
will bring reasonable returns that

family and country into a still more
Wondrous future"

Wholesale prices were almost sta
tionary at l03 per cent of 1926 level
during 1913. They were fairly stable
during 1912, after sharp rise in
l941. Also living costs that rose
sharply in both l94l and 1912 leveled
out in 1913.
IF the country wants, it should
not be difficult to hold around this
level
The answer to that is that living
costs can be held to present level If
the pressure groups will let up.

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

BY 5AUKHAoE

At a recent White House press and
radio conference. the President was
explaining his pre-Christmas remark
that II was time to discard the
term New Deal'-the remark that
gave the cartoonists so much fun.
He used a fable about "Old DR.. New
Deal" who had healed the patient OF
internal troubles" (the depres-
sions). But when the patient had an
accident and had broken his arms
and legs, he had TO call in his part
ner "Dr. Win-the-War" to heal him.
A correspondent asked: Doesn't
that add up to fourth term declara'
tom"
The President showed his irrita-
ton in his answer. He said that
that hadn't been under discussion,
that the question was picayune.
Then he caught himself. leaned
back, half smiled. half apologized.
with the remark that the questioner
would understand that he had to an
swer that way.

problems. and 10 be brought back

be, If any.
