Overstepping Decorum

In estimating the value OF any comment oS
the Chicago Tribune it is essential 70 iiiaA7
allowances for that newspapers violent OPP
,o.;+;on n the Roosevelt administration. Ihis
is the Tr,bunes greatest drawback ooli's
most to minimize its influence. IL IL eoo'o
find it in its heart to give the ADMINS a'lo'''
or anv of it's departments, credit "heh' ny
ch,nc. calculation or accident, it does some
thing worth while, the Tribune wouio eh'oy
much wider popularity and exert greater 1''-
fluence.
c,.e in no;nt is its recent comment on the
prospects of imitation. 1t proceeds 10 soHoeiini
the possible efficacy Of the plan of1ereo oy w.
Randolph Burgess, president OF the American
Bankers Association, that Congress urge the
Federal Reserve Board to make an inquiry
and report on the dangers OF 1n1la1lon anu
the steps which might be taken to preVen'
it, 1t then goes back to the time when sec
rotary Of the Treasury Morgenthau and Cnalr
man Eccles Of the Reserve Board called at
tention to the fact that security prices hao
reached their highest level in eight years, ana
Chester Bowles, OPA administrator SAID tnat
OPA or some other agency ought to DO some
thing to head off the boom in real estate prices.
It could be that nothing proposed by Mr.
Burgess, Mr.. Morgenthau, Mr.. Eccles or Mr..
Bowles points the way to prevent imitation,
which obviously is on the way and may be
upon the country before anyone realizes. But
what is disappointing in the Tribune's atti-
tude is that it condemns all Of them out OF
hand and offers its own remedy as the only
infallble cure Singing out Mr.. Eccles for
especial commentator, it says he has already
offered his cure land it makes no sense" In
opposition to his proposal to increase the spend
ing money Of the country by payments from
the treasury, the Tribune proposes to halt the
treasury's sale of government bonds to banks,
which brings an expansion in the volume OF
spending money. The Tribune continues:
Bonds sold to individuals result in diverting
to government uses spending power already in
existence. Despite this fact, the government
sells new security weekly to banks, and the
plans for the seventh war loan drive call for
selling further large amounts to commercial
banks
To the unprejudiced reader this sounds as
much like blow at the seventh war loan as
anything else. Whatever merit the Tribune S
views might possess is Offset by its attack on
the system of raising war funds.
Only a financier can judge between its at
tack on views OF government officials and its
own, so far as preventing initiation is concern
ed, and no two Of them probably would hold
the same view, but when it exhibits its bias
against the administration by assailing the
war-loan set-up which may be faulty but still
raises money by public appeal which is help
ing to give our fighting men the victory on
battlefields, it oversteps the board rules Of
decorum.

''The Violent Friends" by
'inston CIeWes I'd. Appleton

Century; $3.50.
This novel about Jonathan
Swift, Dublin-born author of "Gul-
liver's Travels" and one of the
great figures in English literature,
begins with bang but ends on a
whisper.
The fiery, laundering Dean
stomps out upon these pages as
big and gusty as life, and then
disappears. 1t is really mystery
story: what became of Swift?
He who hoped for a bishopric
has been banished to Dublin, in
the poverty-stricken Ireland for
which in fact he did so much, and
which he berates in his savage
tongue as the happy land of
thieves and idiots, stinks, filth and
Irishmen.''
The novel, which along with a
play on the same subject is re-
ported to have enjoyed consider
able success in England, deals with
three persons: Swift and the two
women who loved him 50 deeply:
Stella and Vanessa.

AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS
You have to see the records of
its accomplishments to understand
the role played by the Balkan
air force in helping to iberate
Balkan countries from Nazi rule
In volume, these accomplishments
may not have been decisive, yet
it is hard to see how our mill
tary success thus far in this thea
ter could have been achieved
without them.
This has been particularly true
in Yugoslavia. From bases in
Italy, flyers Of the Balkan air
force, under Air Vice Marshal
Elliott, have landed transport
planes with desperately needed
supplies behind the lines in Yugo-
slavia. British, American, Greek
and some Yugoslav pilots have
faced great hazards to supply
Marshal Tito's partisans.
One of their chief accomplish
ments has been the evacuation tc
Italy Of nearly $4,000 wounded
partisans. Because of the lack Of
even primitive transportation,
Tito's forces often had to carry
their wounded on stretchers over
mountain terrain. Under such con.
ditions, six stretcher bearers were
required for each Of the wounded,
and the mobility of the partisan
armies was often reduced to a
point where massacre by the Ger.
mans seemed certainty.
Once, as the Germans were
about to close in, Tito sent an
urgent appeal for the evacuation
Of 900 wounded. The alternative
was to leave them behind for GER
tain torture and slaughter by the
advancing Germans.
The story of how, within a few
hours, plan was worked out and
transport planes were landed in
daylight On improvised air strips
is a dramatic Illustration of the
potentialities of air power. With
more than 900 wounded men taken
out OF the German trap, the par
tisans regained their mobility, the
stretcher bearers took up arms,
and disaster was once again
averted.
Among nearly $4,000 persons
rescued from inside Yugoslavia
are more than 500 children. They
had been living during the winter
on diet of wild garlic, snow
and occasional bread.
Wounded and starving soldiers
have been brought to British hos
pitfalls in Italy, and there they
have been nursed back to health
with the best possible medical
care. Now the process is being
reversed and several thousand
soldiers have been flown back
into Yugoslavia. Some, restored
to health, have already returned
to the front, where Tito is strug-
Cling with an acute shortage of
fighting manpower.
Besides evacuating the wound
ed, the Balkan air force has
flown in well over 1000 tons of
vital war material-ammunition,
food, guns, clothing. Almost half

Prophetic Words

More than ten years ago Gustav Cassel' OF
Sweden, one Of the worlds most distinguish
ed economists, wrote:
The leadership Of the State in economic
affairs which advocates OF planned economy
ant to establish is, as we have seen, neces-
sarily connected with a bewildering mass OF
mulative nature. The arbitrariness, the mis-
takes and the inevitable contradictions OF such
policy will, as daily experience shows, only
strengthen the demand for a more rational
coordination of the different measures and,
therefore, for unified leadership. For this
reason planned economy will always teno TO
develop into dictatorship.
1.-THE existence of some sort OF parliament
is no guarantee against planned economy De-
ing developed into dictatorship. On the con-
trary experience has shown that representa-
i've bodies are unable to fulfill all the null
titudinous functions connected with economic
leadership without becoming more and more
involved in the struggle between competing
interests, with the consequence of a moral
decay ending in party - If not individual
corruption. Examples of such degrading de-
velopment are indeed in many countries &C.
cumulating at such a speed must fill every
honorable citizen with the gravest apprshen-
sions as to the future of the representative
system. But apart from that, this system
cannot possibly be preserved, if parliaments
a constantly overworked by having to con.
slider an infinite mass of the most intricate
questions relating to private economy. The
parliamentary system can be saved only by
of parliaments.
Economic dictatorship is much more dan
gerous than people believe. Once authoritative
control has been established it will not always
be possible to limit it to the economic do
man. If we allow economic freedom and
ing for liberty will have lost so much il
strength that they will not be able to offer an,
effective resistance against a progressive ex
tension OF such destruction to constitutions
and public life generally. And if this resistance
is gradually gwen up-perhaps without peopl
ever realizing what is actually going on-sucl
fundamental values as personal liberty, free
dom of thought and speech and independents
of science are exposed to imminent danger
