BRIGHT AND DARK SPOTS
IN FISCAL OUTLOOK

Although the fiscal budget figures as
submitted to congress by the President
for the year beginning next July l, still
talks mostly in billions, there are few
bright spots. Plenty Of dark spots as
one contemplates the continued tremend-
Gus cost of the war.
The estimates point to II billions less
in the next fiscal year in expenditures,
which is encouraging both from the stand
point of the approach to the end of war
and as to spending. But glance at the
other side of the ledger to contemplate
that interest alone on the war debt tops
four billions-for just year-and the
problems of the future make the picture
dark again.
A wise public will look on both sides
of the picture. The futures problems
are not insurmountable. They couldn't
be, of course. But their solution and
keeping the nations pace in progress and
prosperity will require courage and COM
mon sense. When it is set out in the
budget report that at the end of 1946
the accumulative cost of the war since
1910 will be more than 400 billions and
that the national debt will be close to
the 300 billion mark, there is no need to
remind the people of what lies ahead.
The country can not afford to make
any mistakes in the next few decades.
One potential mistake is over-estimating
the part this country can play in recon
ditioning the world-that is, the financial
share. A mistake also could be made in
failing to do a necessary part. Our own
future definitely is tied up with bringing
the whole world back to strong, fiscal
standing We can not hope to do business
with an impoverished, disorganized world.
Greater wisdom of man never before
has had the call that lies ahead. Not the
wisdom of one or few, but of many;
not pressure politics and selfish desires,
but calm judgment and the backing of
united peoples everywhere.
We shall be dealing in dollars and
cents, in human loves and human prog
ress and happiness. One must not lose
sight of the other.

RED CROSS REASsURING
Riverside Daily PresS)

(Riverside Daily PresS)
The Berlin radio claims that the Nazi
armies in their present drive have cap
tured many thousands of American SOL
diers American families with fathers,
sons, brothers or dear friends serving in
France are naturally worrying as to what
treatment these will receive if taken
prisoner Even before their present Of
fensive began, the Germans held about
$4,000 American prisoners.
A recent report, seemingly authenti-
Gated, stated that more than a hundred
defenseless Americans had been moved
down in a batch after they had surrend-
cred. Charges at about the same time
came from London that the Japanese had
literally worked to death thousands OF
British prisoners in Burma and China.
But the Red Cross reports that on the
whole American prisoners Of war, both
in Germany and Japan are being treated
accordirg to the Geneva convention OF
1929. AS long as this convention is fol-
lowed in good faith, relatives and friends
of American prisoners of war need have
little fear of their well-being.
Japan did not ratify the Geneva con-
vention, but announced soon after Pearl
Harbor that she would abide by most
terms of the convention. The Soviet I'm
ion, which in 1929 was still being treated
as an outcast by the great powers, is
another state which did not ratify the
Geneva convention.

STATE SHOULD BE ALERT
ON ROAD-AID PROGRAM

There is room for disagreement and
contention on many of the variously pro-
posed and adopted federal aid undertake
ings wherein states may or may not
share on some designated percentage bas-
is, but on one there is total agreement
and that is on highway construction.
In this vast program the west partl-
cularly is affected and interested. In
fact there are so many areas in the west
bring about the badly needed road con-
struction. From a taxable standpoint,
the areas simply do not produce and
cost of road building is right squarely
out of the pocket.
The government has put up fund OF
one billion dollars and the states are
to match it. But matching the funds is
not the only requisite. Indeed, it might
be the simplest in the long run.
What actually counts is that the
states absolutely must be to the fore
front with logical and far-seeing project
programs. While not exactly case of
first come being first served, it is best
to be in the vanguard rather than any
where else along in the procession, and
the states with the works already lined
up are the ones certain to get going
Of the many proposals for postwar
progressiveness, none stands higher than
road building. No state hardly can have
too many improved roads: Some close
observers of the national postwar set
up believe that the road construction
needs are so vast that this project alone
could take care of the postwar period
for a number of years.
1t is to be hoped that California will
be right out in the front ranks in this
all important activity.

BiddIe Denies
Deal To Free
Racketeer Pair

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. UP)-
Attorney General Francis Biddle
said Tuesday that no deal" was in
volved in the recent release from
prison of George E. Browne, former
president of the International Alli-
ance of Theatrical Stage Employees
(AFD, and his personal assistant,
William Bioff. who were convicted
of violating the misunderstanding
act.
Biddle'c denial followed a state
ment inserted in the Congressional
Record on January by Representa-
tive Lawrence H. Smith, (R), Wis
consin, that a reduction in the SEN
tences of Browne and Bioff was a
result of deal between Biddle and
the two men. Smith said he was ex-
plCring the possibilities of impeach-
ment proceedings against Biddle.
At the time of the trial Of the
two alleged racketeers in Novem-
Der, 1941, Biddle said. it became ap-
parent that they had associates who
participated with them in their
crimes but whose identities they re-
fused to reveal to the government.
The court imposed sentences OF
10 years Imprisonment fer Bioff;
eight years for Browne, and fines OF
$4,000 each. Subsequently, Biddle
pointed out, the two men gave tes-
timohy which aided the government
in breaking up gang in Chicago
that had "succeeded to AL Capone's
power in the underworld
When attorneys fer Bioff and
Browne sought to reduce the SEN
tences, Biddle said, the government
made no objection. Judge John G.
Knox. who had sentenced Bioff and
Browne and who had kept the term
of court open in their cases. Biddle
explained, reduced their sentences
to time already served-three years,
one month and one day-as of De-
cember 90, 1914.
On recommendation of the gov
ernment, Biddle pointed out, the
court left one count CT their con-
victions undisturbed. 1t placed them
on probation for five years. Biddle
said it should be noted that Browne
had become eligible for parole In
July, 1914, and that Bioff would
have become eligible In March, 1915

ASSUMPTION OF EASY
VICTORY OUT OF PICTURE
Riverside Daily Press)

(Riverside Daily Press)
These two great wars are still far
from completion, and there is no telling
when they will end. The recent surprise
attack of the Germans may have set al
lied victory back for half a year, or even
more. Greater efforts than ever must
be made, perhaps on both fronts. Nearly
all the wealth, energy and initiative of
this nation will have to be thrown into
the fight.
We have escaped destruction almost
literally, in the words of Job, "by the
skin of our teeth And the recent break
through of the European enemy shows
that strength and vigilance will be need
ed until the very end of the struggle
There can be no more easy assumption
of victory. Our enemies can and will fight
as energetically as we ourselves.
We are obviously superior to the Jap
anese in personnel and intelligence, but
honesty compels the admission that we
are superior to our European enemy only
in potential resources and the righteous
ness of our cause. The Germans started
with a larger and better trained army
than we had, and still have some points
of military superiority which we can
overcome only by work, training, expert
ence and eternal vigilance.
However tough it may have been on
the far front the past year, it cannot be
said that the home front has suffered
unduly. That is, for creature comforts
and the necessares of life.
Many things midway between comfort
and necessity have been rather difficult
to get at times; but on the whole, the
American level of living has been the
envy of nearly all foreign nations. And
large numbers of Americans have been
able, even in wartime, to get ahead fin
ancially more rapidly than usual. This
is shown by bank savings and invest
ments, which in the long run are more
important than present luxury
What is the prospect now for business
in general? 1t is a time not for ardent
expectations of an early victory but for
settling down to still more earnest
prosecution of the big job at home and
abroad
