Mr. Roosevelt's plea followed one

in enacting the May bill.
Meanwhile, Senator Joseph c. o.
Mahoney CD Wyoming, an oppo-

He said it would be less drastic
than the house-approved work-or-

would be based ON giving legal sane

SUPPLY CREATES DEMAND

One of the fallacies that have given
rise to the belief that we can be saved
from disaster after the war only by
continuation of huge Government spend
ing and deficit financing is the aSsump-
ton that production and purchasing
power" are two entirely different things.
"Production' is thought of as goods,
purchasing power" as money. 1t is as
sumed that purchasing power" must be
kept above production" if the latter is
to expand. Those who believe this are
finally led to the crude inflatlonary
theory that we can keep going after the
war only by the process of constantly IN
creasing money payments regardless OF
production-which means constantly eX-
panding bank credit or issuing more
money from the printing presses.
Economists have long recognized the
real truth of the matter. This is that
purchasing power grows out OF produc-
ton. The great producing countries are
the great consuming countries. The
Notwithstanding world consumes vastly
more than the eighteenth-century world.
because it produces vastly more. Supply
of wheat gives rise to demand for auto
mobiles, radios, shoes, cotton goods and
other things that the wheat producer
wants. Supply of shoes gives rise to de-
mand for wheat, for motion pictures, for
automobiles and for other things that the
shoe producer wants In the modern
world all this happens not by direct bar
ter but by indirect exchange through the
medium of money. This merely compli-
Gates, and does not change, the essential
process. In the aggregate, supply and
demand are not merely equal but identi-
cal, since every commodity may be look
ed upon either as supply of'its own kind
or demand for other things.
In recent years this basic truth has
been challenged by Lord Keynes among
others, notably in his General Theory
of Employment, Interest and Money
published in 1886. But Lord Keynes does
not appear to have dealt with the essen
tials of the doctrine, but rather to have
taken advantage of an error OF lllustra-
tion promptly rectified) in John Stuart
Mills statement of it. This is pointed
out in a reply to Keynes criticism by
Prof. Benz jamin NJ. Anderson in The
Commercial. and Financial Chronicle. AS
Dr. Anderson comedies, the doctrine that
supply creates its own demand assumes
certain conditions. 1t assumes a condi-
ton of equilibrium. 1t assumes that the
proportions among various goods and
SeTFICeS UluSL Dt IlSHt, lilal VIC CSi ITO Va
exchange, the price relationships, among
different commodities must be right. 1t
assumes the existence of free competition
and free markets to bring about these pro-
portions and price relations. 1t assumes
the absence of paralyzing governmental
interference with the markets.
But these necessary qualifications do
not change the central truth of the doc
trine. We can get postwar prosperity
and full production when free enterprise
and free markets are allowed to bring
about the conditions of equilibrium. We
do not have to keep pouring more money
into the spending stream through endless
Government deficits That is not the way
to sound prosperity, but the way to un-
controlled initiation.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
AND THE POLL TAX

Georgias taking the lead in abolish
mant of the old poll tax system, one OF the
controversial subjects which infects con-
gress may be the signal for freeing
Washington lawmakers of heated argu-
ments and filibusters. However, there
are yet no signs that the other six south
ern states will follow the lead, at least
not Immediately.
It was not exactly free or spontaneous
action on the part of the legislators,
having been forced to act or see their
rights" trampled upon by the new gov
ernor.
But removing the poll tax, which in
effect has prevented the Negro vote from
being registered, is an empty gesture as
to removing that ban, and until state
laws change the party rules, the bar will
hold A similar state of affairs in any
northern state would affect the right OF
suffrage of the Negro. However, in the
south a democratic nomination is tanta-
mount to election and the Democrats
have shown no signs of relenting and
permitting the Negroes to share in pri-
maries.
Unless all the porl-tax southern states
follow Georgia and the dominant party
remove primary voting restrictions, there
still Will De Cne threat Oh rSueIdl SCdl-
utes to govern both poll tax and party
nominating primaries.
1t is the hope of this nation that the
people will discover that it is not neces-
sary to have political machines to make
democracy operate. If we are to see our
way through the present war crisis and
to make the most of postwar opportunit-
les we will have to set our own house in
order-Jasper McLevy, Socialist mayor

WASHINGTON, May 19-Japa-
nese diplomats and business men in
neutral capitals are stepping up their
efforts to find some loophole in the
Allied formula of unconditional sur
render.
Diplomatic quarters, emphasizing
the unofficial nature of these ac-
tivities, reported today that the
number Of individual and purely pri-
vate peace feelers has grown mark
eddy since the fall of Manila and the
invasion of Okinawa
The usual technique is for a
japanese to inquire around among
American for their real ideas" on
peace terms. There is nothing def
mite about these inquiries except
the suggestion that Japan might
consider almost anything except un-
conditional surrender.
Not a word has been heard
through official channels about spe-
cific terms, it is learned. Current
reports that a definite offer had
been received by the Office OF Stra-
.egic Services were discounted here
by high officials conversant with
japanese affairs.

Americans, hungry for meat AND

surance that the Federal Govern
ment would do its best.
The pleas came from many di-
rections-from New York, meatless
and poultryless, short of butter and
eggs; from Chicago, where truck
driver strike hampered food de-
liveries third day; from Camden,
New Jersey, whose mayor. George
E. Drummer, asked President Tru-
man for action.
War Mobilization Director Fred
M. VinSon announced program
of increased subsidies to boost the
meat supply but warned it would
take some time for the effects of
the program to be felt"
The House Food Committee was
reported ready to blame OPA, the
War Food Administration and other
agencies for a, growing sugar short
age, and possibly to demand cur
tailment of shipments abroad. !.
Philadelphia meat shortage was
called the worst since the Civil

be 300 per day less than last year,
urged people. to eat more grain

MANILA, May 19-Attacking be-
hind record front-line fire bomb
ings, Filipino Guerrillas and Dough-
boys of the Forty-Third Division
recaptured Ipo Dam, cource of a
third of Manilas water supply, in
tact at the climax of a brightly
two-months' mountain campaign.
Today the Yanks began the ar
duous task of cleaning out several
thousand encircled Japanese who
still hold part of the aqueduct to
Manila, part of the same force that
mysteriously failed to blow up the
dam.
Capture of Ipo Dam was the
biggest stride yet in the Central
Luzon campaign, during which the
powerful Shimbun Line was shat
tered.
The campaign marked the first
important use in this theatre of
ti-aircraft searchlights as "arti-
ficial moonlight" Because of per-
sistent night time japanese infil-
trations, sometimes in company
strength and penetrating to the
outskirts of Manila, Americans
began playing lights on low clouds
at night.
The Guerrilla force, under Col
Marcus Augustin, reached the dam
first. The Forty-Third, approaching
from the south, met harder going
More than 375 Thunderbolts and
Lightnings of the Fifth Airforce
paved the way for the final as
sault.
Inasmuch as the Jaapnese still
hold part of the aqueduct route
capture of the dam does not assure
immediate use of the water.
To the south, the U. S. Thirty
Eighth Division moved toward the
Wawa Dam against heavy resist
ance.

GUAM, May 19.-Tank-le Tenth
Army Americans pressed fiercely and
relentlessly today against the APP
proaches to Shuri Fortress and hills
covering the Okinawa capital of

neSe troops on the Ryukyu Island

Sixth Marine Division on the west
flank cannot cross the Asato River

The Leathernecks have patrolled
as far as 500 yards into the city, but
Naha remains untenable as long as
the Japanese hold the hills forming
the western hinge of their Shuri
defense line.
Bloody Feats
Adm. Chester w. Nimitz' COM
munique today gave no reports on

unique official account of bloody
feats of such small units as &c"
Company of the 383rd Regiment of
the 96th Division beating off count
erattacking Japanese in an hour
long close quarter grenade battle on
Conical Hill.
These Japanese were led by an Of
fier dressed formally, even to white
gloves and polished dress boots. This
gave evidence that some japanese
commanders realize their eventual
death is certain and characteristical-
ly are preparing for ceremonious
exit.
Bloodiest Action
An indication of the ferocity OF
the Japanese was shown in their de-
Tense of 150-foot Sugar Loaf Hill
overlooking Naha from the east.
This was one of the bloodiest &C
lions of the Pacific War.
The strategic mound was scaled
nine times in seven days by Marines
of the Sixth Division. Eight times
the Leathernecks were forced to
withdraw. The veterans of Eniwetok
Atoll and Guam reached the top
the ninth time with their lines
thinned by casualties, and managed
to hang on.
Many of the casualties were suf-
fered when Japanese rolled gren-
