POSTWAR PROGRAM
AND RAISING FUNDS

Set in motion through a series of close
/. up and frank talks between groups of
businessmen and Others and members of
= Ell Centre city council, concrete methods
Z for raising funds for postwar work
e should not be allowed to end there. The
: move should be stimulated and attract
! every taxpayer in the city, and county,
. too.
While the various municipalities must
be geared to move into the program and
geared still further to carry on, the en-
tire plan of action, when the war ends,
takes in the whole county.
There is no lack of unanimity on the
need for most of the projects set up for
the county. There should be no differ
ences as to which project should come
first. All are worthy and when COM
pleted as a whole will see the county
away out in the lead as progressive and
ambitious community.
At the moment the overall interest is
in raising the money to start the pro-
gram, and then to keep both the program
and the funds flowing steadily and unin-
terruptedly until the plan is carried out.
3" 1t would be grand if by the swish Of a
wand the money would appear in a lump
sum. More wonderful 1t there were some
magic at hand by which the whole pro-
gram would move along without hitch.
Nothing like that, and so there must be
wisdom, good judgment, and a vigorous,
sensible policy that will assure success
and not entail any undue hardships on
any single taxpayer or group of tax
payers or on business and industry.
In a brief study of postwar financing,
the groups mentioned delved to quite an
extent into the possibilities and the prac
ticability of local sales tax. This sur
vey was in connection with the Ell Centre
city councils plan to revise the occupa-
tional tax system and stem it into rev.
enue producer for the coming program.
If the comprehensive and constructive
blue print which has been drawn in Ell
-Centro and in other communities in the
county means anything at all it means
direct benefit to everyone. Therefore, the
cost should and must be shared by every
one It is to that end the recent confer
ences started on an exploration for funds.
Let's not stop now that the start has
been made on making certain this pro-
gram of progress.

Furnishing THE GUILTY

San Diego Union
There is one primary purpose involved
in the punishment of the Nazi war GRIM
mails; that is the imposition of an effect
i've penalty to prevent the recurrence Of
attacks on civilization. Organized society
everywhere exercises the right to protect
itself against murderers. The bandit
who Stays to rob, the rapist, the criminal
who kills out of sheer hate and brutal
ity, must be removed. He cannot safely
be released to continue as potential
threat to the public safety.
We have had the tangible and indis-
putable proof of atrocious war crimes by
the Nazis and their followers We have
seen the thousands Of victims Of slaugh-
ter and torture Somebody devised and
gave authority for these crimes. That
somebody indisputably is the Nazi lead
ership; these acts were perpetuated by
official order. -
In such a situation it is idle to invoke
technicalities or fall back on what we
used to term "the laws of war" If there
is no existing international law to cover
such situation legally, then there is
always military courtmartial. The most
lasting lesson that Germany can learn
will be found in the execution of those
who not only have slain the thousands
from other lands, but have brought
wholesale death and devastation to their
own people. Anything less than eXecu-
ton of the arch criminals of Nazidom
will only be encouragement to further
crimes in the future.

OUT OF THE WOODS
Christian Science Monitor !:

Christian Science Monitor:
The House of Representatives. over
whelming approval OF the Breton Woods
agreement will be read everywhere as
heartening evidence of American desire
to enter fully into international economic
cooperation. And the decisive nature of
the vote should facilitate further efforts
to perfect the agreement.
For time when the House Banking
Committee was studying the proposals,
the situation appeared far from hopeful.
Government experts who had labored for
two years to get an agreement among so
many nations seemed impatient with
practical bankers questioning of it. Some
took the line that any amendment was
impossible without wrecking the whole
agreement.
On the other hand, some of the bank
ers were extreme in their opposition to
the Monetary Fund. They appeared
ready to risk a complete breakdown of
international stabilization in order to re-
lieve their own fears. Happily, more
moderate counsels. gradually prevailed
The House committee made some amend
ments in the agreement, and in the more
wholesome atmosphere now evident the
Senate may be able to add reassuring
safeguards without destroying the es-
sentials Those now appear firmly es-
tablshed-whlch is very great boon.

Col. McQuade, who was the first

more than 20 islands in that theater
Of war.
Supplementing his talk with pic
lures of the operations Of the Air

the tough going in that vast stretch
of island battlefields.
Freight hauled by the transport
group included many things, from
combat ammunition, supplies, blood
plasma to evacuation of wounded,
Col. McQuade said
During his stay in the Pacific Col.

ahead, despite the indignant howls
of the Aryan-minded Nazis!
Since there is no evidence that
other SIS troops made any protest
against the murders, beatings and
tortures perpetrated by their spe-
cialsts, they are at least morally
guilty as accomplices, in the opin-
ion of American examiners.
However, it. is doubtful whether
the entire SIS membership will be
declared war criminals, although
