Public Lottery

RN LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, =. \. ni'srsiiS
Readers in New Orleans and
Fanwood. \. J.. have questioned
by argument that a lottery is
p desirable means Of financing
the government.
One point they make Is that
it takes no more ability 10 pay
taxes than II does 10 buy lottery
tickets. This statement shows
that they fail TO see the import
ance Of ability 10 pay as a
basis of taxation. Taxes are sup
posed TO be levied on people ac-
cording 10 the size of their in
comes. and this is considered fair.
But lottery tickets are mostly
bought by people of relatively low
incomes whose ability 10 pay is
small. II would not be fair 70
rely upon them for the bulk Of
the public revenue.

Credit for War
New York Will Aid
Returning Students
BY Charles g. Ross.

ALBANY, N. Y. (NANA) State Com
missioner of Education George D. Stod-
dard has reminded secondary schools
and colleges that under policies ap-
proved by the Board of Regents they
are authorized to grant credit to service
men and women for education and
military experience in the armed forces.
Through this action of the Board
Of Regents, New York takes a forward
looking step in meeting the educational
needs of returning veterans" DR.. Stod-
dard said. 1--WE propose to give credit
for military experience and training
and for courses completed, without re-
ducing the high educational standards
for which New York. State is noted"
Secondary schools are permitted to
grant not more than two free elective
units for completion of the Army and
Navy basic or recruit training programs,
averaging IL or 13 weeks. In addition,
not more than two units as a minor
sequence or as free electives may be
granted for the completion of specialist
training programs of IL or 13 weeks.
Credit may be granted for attainment
acquired through correspondence or
other courses approved by the United
States Armed Forces Institute.
Secondary school authorities have the
responsibility of determining when
student, by normal progress, accelera-
ton or otherwise, has completed an ap-
proved secondary school course of 16
units, or the equivalent, and is entitled
to diploma.
Colleges and universities may give
credit for appropriate correspondence
courses completed in and validated by
the United States Armed Forces In
stitute and by recognized colleges and
universities under the sponsorship of
the Armed Forces Institute, the Army
specialized training program, the Navy
college training program or similar
courses. Limits are placed upon the
allowable credit for such courses and
provision is made for transfer of credit
from one institute to another

one house in every five, taking the coun-
try as whole, has been damaged by
German bombs. All that, and much
more that one could add, means that
we shall have to work hard to make
good the losses caused by the war, and
to recover our old standards. When we
have done that we shall then want to go
further and improve upon them.
But there is another aim not less i'm
portant than the restoration Of our ma
terial well-being, and that is to keep
our people fully employed During the
past 20 years we passed through Pc
riods Of severe depression. Like the
United States, we learned to appreciate
the loss and suffering involved in wide
spread unemployment. The British
people, like the American people, are
determined to prevent the recurrence
OF that tragedy by every means in their
power.
Must Import Supplies.
But their problem is not the same as
the American problem. In the United
States nearly all the food needed to
feed its population and nearly all the
raw materials needed for its industries
are to be found within its borders. 1t
possesses great quantities of coal, oil,
cotton, wool, copper, iron, timber and
many other materials. With the ex-
ception of coal, Great Britain has none
of these things in sufficient quantities
for its industrial requirements. The
bulk of its raw materials must be i'm
ported from other countries, for with
out them there can be no full employ
ment.
In addition, before the war it only
produced one-third of its food and
though, by great effort, it is now
producing two-thirds of what it eats,
that is only possible because it eats
much less. In other words, if it is going
to recover its prewar standard of nutri-
ton it will have to import large
quantities of food from abroad, espe-
cially of wheat, meat and citrus fruits.
That, then, Is the heart of the British
economic problem. It has to buy food
and raw materials on large scale from
the rest Of the world. It makes no
difference whether they come from the
dominions or the British colonies or
from foreign countries. They still have
to be paid for
$1,000, 900 900 In Imports.
Before the war we paid for these i'm
ports to the tune of more than $4,000
100000 year in three ways. The prin-
cipal method was by selling our own
products to foreign countries. But we
bought far more than we sold. We
made up the difference by using the in
come from our foreign investments and
the earnings derived from shipping and
other foreign services. After the war
these sources of national purchasing
power will be much reduced. Many of
our foreign investments have been sold
to buy war material in the United States
and elsewhere, and the yield from those
that remain will be smaller.

the assembly, and council OF seven.
appointed by the chairman from the
assembly, each directing one of the
seven phases of the organizations ac-
tivities. The council would be account
able to the parliament.
The police force, Stassen says, could
be manned by volunteers enlisted on a
quota basis from members of the United
Nations; chief of its functions would be
to enforce the code of justice and sup
port the administration of the United
Nations government. This police force
would not be substitute for armies of
individual nations.
A United Nations court, its member
ship named by the supreme courts Of
the various nations, would interpret the
basic code and laws enacted by the as
sembly. Revenues for the new govern
ment would be obtained by "levying
low and equitable duty on the exchange
of goods between peoples"
stassen does not believe this organi-
zation could be set up at once after the
war.
1T would not be perfect" he con-
cedes. There would be mistakes
These are not objectives that can be
completely attained in / year, nor in
10, nor perhaps even in 100"
If he were elected President, he would
take the leadership in creating such a
world government.
Domestic Views Clear.
"It is no longer acceptable" he says,
'for those in position of influence mere
ly to criticize or point out the difficult
ties. Such negation Is sabotage. Crit
icism, therefore, is valid and in good
faith only when it is accompanied by
suggestions as to alternative ways and
means to advance to that objective"
On domestic issues, Stassen has given
his views as definitely as on interna-
tional problems. He would retain much
of the New Deal, but like all other Re-
publican candidates, claims he could do
better administrative and fiscal jobs.
From his writings and speeches it is
possible to summarize his explicit views
on current and postwar domestic prob
lens. Noting that cit is not considered
politically wise to say this" he favors a
good-sized sales tax on consumer goods
to pay current war costs and to reduce
the national debt, explaining that lust
as the efforts of all are needed to win
the war, every one must help to win a
healthy, progressive, domestic economy
after the war"
On the other hand, he favors reduced
taxes on industry and personal incomes
to stimulate production and private en-
terprise. He also wants to see the SEC
laws modified to aid small businesses
but comedies that Government must
insist upon real competition by capital
seeking investment" adding that 1T is

that If we are to buy as much from

shall have to sell more Of our products
