Washington-There's a feeling
on Capitol Hill that perhaps Con
gress clanped too tight a ceiling
ON campaign expenditures and
that the three-million dollar linn
itation on a national committee
and the $4,000 personal eontri-
button are too low.
Opinion of some observers who
are getting into the question is
that in this campaign there were
more contributions available
than could be used by regular
party channels under the law.
So, as Robert I. Murphy, SEN
ate campaign expenditures COM
mittee counsel, points out. there
has been "a mushroom growth
of the so-ealled independent
committees" The individual
could give only $4,000 to any one
committee-but he could con-
tribute the same amount to a
number of committees.
Although civilians will con
tinue to get sufficient shoes.

within the framework of the pro-
posed postwar organizations OF
the United Nations, but admit all
competent nations, regardless of
present alignments, participation
to be based on total amount OF
foreign trade for the past TWEEN
ty-five years, each to contribute
a small proportionate amount in
cash to a revolving fund. If any
nation becomes an aggressor ma
ton, on complaint filed by a
member nation and thirty days
notice, let such nation be so ad-
judged and let all trade of mem
bers with the aggressor nation
cease thirty DAYS after adjudica-
ton. Let the organization take
over all imports to and exports
from the aggressor nation and
administer the same, first for the
benefit of the affected member
nation then for the mutual bene-
fit, to the end that no nation lose
because of the cessation of trade
with the aggressor nation, but
that such losses be prorated and
thereby mutualized. SO that the
nations large and small be pro-
tected in their national econo-
mics. Give neutral non-member
nations sixty days to decide
whether to trade with the ag-
gressor nation or the member ma
tons. If a neutral concludes to
trade with the member nations,
let the organization protect the
neutral in every reasonable way.
If the neutral decides to trade
with the aggressor nation, let all
trade of member nations with
such neutral nation cease. The
protection which the nations
would get by membership and
insurance against loss would
cause all nations ultimately to
join such an organization and
peace would be recognized as
profitable financially, as well as
every other way. Police the
world by regulation of trade in
stead of with flesh and blood and
bombs. Many problems, includ-
ing the equitable distribution of
raw materials, could be solved.
Make international banditry UNI
profitable to the point of starva-
ton, but as a hedge against Hit
lers, maintain a big Navy and
an adequate Air Force. The
money and lives saved could be
used in the Improvement of all,
including the less favored peo-
pie and nations.
Is the thing too simple, too
right and too reasonable to be
practicable? Is there a hole in
it?
Peace or war?

MULE-S TINE

Fifth Army Battlefront.-Ar-
mored Division GIs in charge of
a string of Italian mules got sup
plies through despite the fact that
a couple of the mules crashed
down an embankment.
We didn't know a thing about
mules" said one donkey tender,
"but the stuff had to get through.
Our chaps were holding a Spear
head and the only trail to them
was under fire from three sides"
On the trail two mules slipped
and skidded down an embank-
ment with their loads of cigar
cites, water rations and mortar
shells. Both the mules and sup
plies were to oprecious to lose
so the GIs went after them, got
them back up and finished the
little trip.
