BUDGET BATTLE
 BEFORE COUNCIL

Members of Juneau's Common Council will have a neat bag of trouble dropped in their laps tomor- row evening, when Mayor Ernest Parsons presents his City Budget for the year 1945-46 at the Special Council Meeting he has called for tomorrow evening.
 A large turnout of taxpayers is expected to put a premium on seats in the Council Chamber at the City Hall when the session is called to order at o'clock-at least a con- siderable throng is forecast from current unrest regarding expected tax increases.
 One other matter, minor in nature, is to be disposed of before the Council delves into the Budget. Ap- plication by Milton Daniel of the Snow White Laundry for permission to extend the sidewalk around the laundry's new building an additional foot onto the street will be acted on.

Big Puff of Smoke, But Ihaf's All

LONDON, July 26-Britain, surg ing strongly to the left, threw out the Churchill Government in elec- tion returns counted today, and called the Labor Party, headed by Clement R. Attlee, to lead the nation against Japan and through reconstruction.
 The Labor Party's victory was smashing. Its lead in Commons seats over Winston Churchill's Con- servatives was nearly 2 to l, in compilations at mid afternoon.
 Churchill himself and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden escaped the tidal wave and were returned to their seats in Commons, but a dozen of their most prominent colleagues were defeated. The returns were from the July ) election, the nations first general poll in 10 years.
 Campaign Platform
 The Labor Party campaigned on a platform calling for nationaliza- tion of basic industries. King George VI likely will call on Att lee, the party's mild hammered and Oxford-educated leader, to form the new government on reconven- ing of Parliament August 8.
 Attlee, who was Deputy Prime Minister in the Churchill Govern ment until after the defeat of Germany, presumably will return to Potsdam to take up the Big Three" deliberations which were interrupted yesterday to allow Churchill and his colleagues to re- ceive the election returns.
 What Results Prove
 George Isaacs, newly-elected M. P. from Southward, and chairman of the powerful Trades Union Con- gress, commented:
 The results prove the old saving that you can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
 The greatly increased support obtained by the Labor Party shows that the Tory (Conservative) trick of fooling the people by introduc- ing all sorts of malicious, spectacu- lar and often untruthful rumors has lost it's power"

JapS' Beaten Armies
By Peter EdSOn

Germans could walk home and for the Japs 1t is a long swim from Singapore or Batavia to Tokyo Bay.
 If the stranded Japs are going to eat, they may have to hire out contract labor at prevailing local wages. Each situation in U. s, British Dutch or Philippine areas will be entirely different however area.
 Arrangements are now being completed so that Gen. Macarthur, as Supreme Allied Commander, will have Australian, British. Canadian, Dutch French, Russian and New Zealand advisers on his military government staff in Tokyo. There will be main Japanese islands, too But the main responSi- bility Is American and most of the advance planning is done in Washington
 The food situation in the main islands is also acute Japan had to import food before the war raise rice for the main islands but okinawa is now largely an air base and no one has yet found way to raise rice on concrete runways
 To dump from four to eight million repatriated Japanese on the home islands at one time would therefore create havoc, even though the invaded countries in which the Japs surrendered want to get rid of their unwelconle guests
 The cost of moving the Japs back home must. of course, be met by the Japanese government All the expenses of the Japanese occupation must be met by tn Japanese government, for that matter Jap fiscal affairs will be under the closest of scrutiny by U s. military government authorities.
 The exchange value of the Japanese yen has been begged at IS to the dollar Bank of Japan notes will continue in circulation but all Japanese military currency. which had nothing back of It. has been ou lawed.
 U. s. occupation currency is good It is mere shin plaster currency with which the D. S. occupation forces will pay their bills in Japan but all thS cur. rency must be redeemed by the Japanese government The check they pick up for the occupation party, needless to say won't be small.

Army Cracks Down By BiH Cunningham

3oth, had been through oil processes and wait Ing practically at the docksde for the mighty trans- port to take off when news that the Japanese had quit was suddenly flashed.
 don't know whether this group of 660-plus was ready to go, but the Queen Mary hauls almost i6OO0 The l6000 were there They simply showed them on. The Stars and Stripes gave them rather sour send off, pointing out that they were lowpointers and thus mighty lucky. They were lucky all right So was every other soldier, and so was the world, because the shooting had stopped, but how lucky in terms or get- ting out of the Army still remains to be seen They came home tagged for service in the Pacific They're on 30 days leave now, but they're still tagged TOT the Pacific We're going to need lot Of Army out there. It's cinch they still won't 90 to the Pacific
 If anybody figured to squawk, 1t was their high point brethren left on the other Sde If they did, none of it's come this way.
 It's easy to sit here in civilian freedom and say. Be patient" know, but there isn't any more ar outsider can do.
 A far more serious phase of this general subject was sent out of Berlin by dadwyn Hill, good man, the other day He reports the same kind of bee itc- ing amongst the occupation troops and says the Army police work. lack of morale starts eating into that band of young gentlemen. we're in for some serious long-range trouble.
 Somebody's got to sit on those Germans hard. It's the only way they can be handled. It's an Army job 1t may be protracted and 1t is certainly serious If those soldiers are upset by letters from their homefolkS, and ease Up or start campaigning to tain to arise and follow the demand that "our boys be brought home where they belong"
 This will be coupled with tie plaints of the inc curable dogooders, the simple and tender-hearted, and maybe few secret pro-0erfnans now crawling out Of the dog house. Then in mighty chorus with oil the harmony Of pipe organ fitted with fish our erTant German brethren, to let 'em up because they're all bloody and all repentant and to bring our boys home" Tn other words, to get out and abandon all we fought for. The end Of that b return to isolationigm and invitation to another war The point is that somebody's got to stay in the Army. Many now in will have to await thei turns to get out We're Involved n some mighty serioue business. Its got 10 be handled h serious way.

John Mccormack

John Mccormack often referred to as the worlds greatest ballad singer this statement were questioned 1t is safe to say that he asured among the greatest of all time His fGwess dction, depth of musical feeling un- questioned muscanship established him as very great artist.
 MT. Mccormack possessed rare natural voice. Born in Ireland he of that slip into the correct way with training, of speaking and singing. And John Mc- Cormack sang very nearly with perfection as to phrasng and enunciation.
 His great appeal in the strict formaty of his pro grams for the part then pleasantly balanced with the lighter ballads There artistry in his singing of Handel then later in his program q Hear You Calling Me- or Mother Machree He could spin out phrase in Flanders "Where You Walk presenting beautiful bit of singing, and by contrast make "l Take You Home Again Kath- leen' classic,
 It can be truly said that John Mccormack possessed beautiful talent He had the traditional training for opera and concert stage exceng in the latter singing with flaw less English Italian and French He did eder pass ably but did sing extensively in German He took Amer ica by storm, ald great figure here in the musical world until the ninteen thirtieS
 Practically everyone of the present generation from the ages of thirty to eighty familiar with the striking career of John Mccormack who became an outstanding American citizen He to Waterbury repeatedly to the Armory and to Buckingham Hall.
 is fortunate that through the medium of recordings his voice like that of Caruso and other great ones will live on, "a thing of beauty and joy forever"

Beggar Or Borrower

The heat Is now on Uncle Sam to open up his heart and purse strings and save England from dire fate which her emssares ar have been unable to diagnose define Why should be the only supposedly rich uncle Is not fully explained either
 We have problems of national debt per capital debt and reconversion probably greater than England the m pact of which has not yet hit usbut will Canada is also
 rich country with smaller debt and greater obligation to England.
 On day Professor Laski and the present English government predicts the doom of American capitalism and the next day Lord Halifax and Sir John Keynes beg for credit outright ad-from the capalistic govern mentl
 They should make up their minds whether they want to be borrowers beggars They say commercial loan IS unacceptable they do not want to pay credit Yet Uncle Sam paying interest up to two and half percent on his borrowings and there would appear to be no good req why the American public should pay interest and the English people, In the next breath are threatened with restrictions of trade loss of trade which are capital istic words of different language
 If England wants charity she should say so and the evergenerous American people will express themselves on how much we afford and want to give If England wants credit 1t should be sought business terms with self respect and honest intent to repay The American people have desire to be called Uncle Shylock the worlds Mo- 1 sucker
 Yet 1t must be remembered and we'll that get ting to the bottom of barrel and Santa Claus with big debt of his own cannot span the world with gifts
