What's What Among
Twin City RailrOaders

week weren't just where they
should have been, due to a mistake
of the typesetter. This is the way
they should have read: Arnold In
gram, GIN, is leaving soon, to pay
that mad city of Kansas a visit.
Elmer Bradley, not railroad man;
an associate. Mr.. Bradley is quite
unique; occasionally speaking in
dialect foreign to most.
"Ain't for it, strictly again it,
amt gonna have it." How about
it, Jimmy?
"Chuck" Bradley, GIN, the man
with "million-dollar" "outtof-this
world" strut. Keep it up, Chuck,
it's all right. By the way, I can't
get over your friend who let you
ride all the way down to 9th and
Wabasha. Some people believe in
donating their services gratis. Such
as the woman who put on the show
in Jim's the night of May 8.
A young waiter on the GIN and
his attractive wife are expecting
a visit from Mr.. Stork-man soon.
If he or she takes after his or her
parents, he or she can't help but be
a cute kid.
The record "Loverman" has been
turned over in all juke-boxes much
to the disappointment of several
people.
There are so many servicemen
home on furlough. After writing
about them and seeing pictures of
them in the paper, it would be
pleasant, indeed, to have them pay
the office a visit.
Methinks if summer ever makes
it's appearance, most of us will
really take advantage of it. The
wait is so long.
Last but certainly not least, our
friend, Mr.. Jim Williams, is a
patient in the st. Joseph's hospital,
but we hear, through the hospital,
that his condition is good, and that
he is getting along nicely.

THE WHOLE TRUTH

President Humans attempt to dump most of the blame for the
Pearl Harbor disaster on the people of America backfired SO loudly
that the Administration shrewdly performed a quick somersault and
took the initiative itself for a full-cale Congressional Investigation
after first opposing such a move.
The buck-passing strategy of the White House, and also of the
brass-hats and the me, too" press, finds expression in this statement
by President Truman:
The country itself was not ready for preparedness. Every time
the President made IN effort to get a preparedness program through
the Congress, it was shfled."
Let's analyZe those two sentences. If the country were not ready
for preparedness-and remember we're using an 'if'-then clearly it
was not the peoples fault because:
]. Our government, almost up to the last moment, continued to
sanction the shipment of a materials to Japan despite the overwheln-
ing opposition of the people IS expressed in polls of public opinion, and
z. The nation generally was kept in total darkness regarding the
course of our relations with Japan and knew nothing whatever about
the strong demands we suddenly made on the japanese.
Mr.. Trunan's second aSeruon-that President Roosevelts efforts
to get a preparedness program through Congress was "stifled"-is COM
pletely without foundation.
The records show cOnclusively that every proposal for prepared
ness recommended by the late President wa passed by both houses
of Congress, often by overwhelming majOrities.
Newspaper files show, too, that whenever they were questioned in
any poll of public opinion, the people responded by equally one-sded
majOrities in behalf of full preparedness.
This is certainly no time for determinations. Neither is this the
time for shameful buck-passing. Congress has voted a full and frank
investigation into the whole affair. The people do not want the inquiry
the truth-the whole truth-not only to keep the record of the past
straight, but far more important, to prevent America from drifting into
disaster in the future-The Progressive.

Staggering Cost Of PeueetiEme Draft
Government Economist Calculates Armys Plan, If Adopted
Would Saddle Burden of Is Billions on Taxpayer

Exhaustive arguments for and against peacetime military conscrip-
ton are presented lin a series of articles in the September journal of the
American Academy of Political and Social Sciences, an impartial orga-
nization of scholars.
Most of the arguments are familiar. Many of them revolve around
the harm done to democracy by the conscript system. An entirely new
approach to the subject, however, is made by Rainier Schickee, a chief
economist of the United States Department of Agriculture. @*3
Schickele points out that the proposed conscript training, plus the
regular army and navy, would cost this country the enormous sum Of
$4,000 100000 a year. r..
That would be on top of the billions of dollars required for other
government purposes, and for carrying the heavy interest burden on
the $4,000 900 900 debt resulting from the war.
Schckele arrives at his 16-billion-dollar figure bv the following
The army and navy are asking for more than 1000 600 regular"
professional soldiers and sailors. Schickee conservatvely puts the
future strength OF the regular army and navy at 100000.
Official estimates show that, if the one-year training plan is
adopted, about 10000 conscripts would be trained each year.
Thus the total strength of the regular and conscript forces would
be 1,77OO0O.
To feed, clothe, house, arm and equip these men would cost
S 5 $500, 600 900 a year.
But that direct cost is not the whole cost to the country, Schickele
shows. The indirect costs" would be even higher.
By a series of careful calculations, he reaches the conclusion that
the 1,77OOOO regulars and conscripts would-if they were working as
clVllans-produce each year 50, 700 O0O0 worth of useful goods and
services-real wealth for the American people.
Moreover, vast industrial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and machinery
would be required to produce weapons and equipment for the regulars
and conscr1pts. If these resources were not used for military production,
they could be producing useful goods for the American people.
This loss of potential production" is figured by Schickele at
$780, OOO 900 a year.
He adds the direct and indirect costs of the regular and conscrpt
forces and gets a total cost of SIS, loo, 600 600 a year-figmedI in 1888
dollars" T. r
Converting the cost of "1944 dollars"-which are more nearly the
kind we are using now aid will use in the future-Schickele puts the
total annual cost at SIG, 800. 900 900.
1t is obvious that this country cannot carry that staggering burden
on Top OF Its other heavy postwar government costs, and still remain
the America re have known in the past.
Enormous expenditures for mntarism helped TO DESTROY democracy
and free enterprise in Europe, and will do o here-Labor, wash
