"This calls for an immediate
elimination of all unnecessary Jobs"
And the federal government is
still to demonstrate any strong dis
position to take that essential step,
and, in fact, has continued to move in
the opposite direction even though
the war is over.
Senator Byrd makes the signif-
cant report that during the month of
July-two months AFTER the Euro
pean war ended-federal employ
ment was still INCREASING AT
THE RATE OF 1883 EMPLOYEES
A MONTH.
In the previous month 126,130
ADDITIONAL employees had been
attached to the federal pay rolls.
Of the 63 departments and agen-
cies reporting to the joint committee
in July, only % REDUCED person
mel, and these only by total of
1871.
At the same time, 81 agencies
INCREASED personnel by total
of 25,2e9.@------- -----
60 THE trend of federal employ
~ ment is still UP rather than
down, and, of course, that trend does
not make "room" for more than the
limited" tax reduction which the
President foresees as something to
which the American people must be
"reconciled. F"
But let it be remembered that the
millions of federal employees Senator
Byrd would dismiss are UNNECES-
SARY.
1t is only the NoNESSENTIAL
expenditures of government he
would eliminate.
Even the war did not justify "un-
necessary" and "noneSsential ex-
penditures.
Why should the country still be
burdened with them after the war.

L major showdown with Con-
gress may come over the all
important question of the for
NAL ending of the war.
Thus far there have been no
White House indications Of i'm

bringing the war TO an official
end by presidential proclama-
ton.
Not right away, but in the not
too distant future, Congress may
take the initiative, and by de-
claring the war TO be ended,
abolish an immense amount of
restrictions upon the daily lives
of the people.
This may come along about
next January, by which time the
statutory existence of Office of
Price Administration will be in
sight. The argument will be
that all of the war powers
should be swept aside. not later
than the close of the fiscal year
on June 30, 1916.
Such congressional act on
would wipe out the President
war emergency powers and hit
the powerful wartime bureauc-
racy a Knockout blow. that
would probably give the whole
theory of RECOMMENDATION its
quietus.
Congressional action conceiv-
ably could be hastened by con-
tinuation OF the current strikes,
especially if h President
should continue his present in

powerful political groups of or

THIS textbook for army instructors is
Il brazenly labeled a cooperative prof.
ect with the Institute of Pacific Relations,
listed in the files of the House committee
on un-American activities as having Com
munist front affiliations.
Aside from the glorifcation of the
Chinese Communists and the belittling of
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek and the
middle class, the volume delivers forth
right smear against American diplo-
macy
In typical Red party line lesson in
American history to members of the
armed forces, the United States is de-
picted as having deliberately stirred up
revolution in China which put the Nation
alsts in power and resulted in thousands
of noble Communists being killed
Portraying the split between the right
and left wings of the Kuomintang with
soft words for the fellow travellers" of
communism, the volume asserts:
THE left wing included, besides Com
munists, students and intelIectuals who
sympathized with them; they wanted to
base their power on the peasants and
workers of China
During the victorious march to the
North the left wing, with the Communists,
had stirred up the peasantry to violent
action against the landlords and when
Hankow was reached the workers of
central China were encouraged to go on
strike.
"The right wing. under Chang kai-
shek, was alarmed, for many of the army

officers came from the families of the
local gentry, and many of their business
and banker supporters did not favor the
development of strong labor union
movement.
"Nor did England and America wish
to see a new government in China under
Communist and especially Russian in
fiuence to help a revolution already deeply
divided from within.
"The revolution split, the Russians
fled to the Soviet Union, many thousands
of Chinese Communists were killed and
the right wing of the kuomintang, backed
by majority of the party and the army,
set up government in Marking without
the Communists. Thus in 1928, the pres
ent Nationalist government of China was
founded and was Immediately recognized
by most of the great powers"
THEN, painting the regime of Chang
l. Kai-shek as a one-man show backed
by the army and the reactlonary LANDED
gentry" the book asserts:
"They did not have the same interests
as the intellectuals in democracy, and they
hated communism"
The efforts of the Chinese soviet re-
public to bring democracy to the masses
is described as follows:
"They redistributed the land of the
rich among the poor, especially the land
less peasants. They set up co-operatiyes.
They tried to change many Of the social
habits and customs of the people, such
as the marriage systems
In passing, the Taylor-Stewart opus
relates that it was necessary TO Kill or
drive the landlords from most of kiangsi
Province in order that the Communists
accomplish their purpose
s'The Communists have not arrived at
a solution of the land problem but they
have made the lot of the peasant easier
than il was before" the volume remarks
with obvious admiration.
The big payoff in the volume appears
in the thinking it all over" section in

tion is asked

upon which all should agree, is that
every citizen must have the op-
portunity to live in decent, safe
and sanitary home"
Referring to postwar housing as

that private enterprise cannot re-
build slum areas until some answer
is found for the inflated values OF
these overpacked, costly sections.
Private enterprise cannot re-
