for a permanent price control and
those controls should be relaxed as
soon as conditions will permit.
1t is said that inflationary pres
sures are much stronger now than
in 1918. The demand for both con-
sumner goods and raw materials will
be greater than supplies for many
months We are at the same stage
of the game where the fight was
lost against World War l initiation.
If America is to attain the goal of
full employment and full produc-
ton now that the war is over, the
people should be of a mind to CO.
operate in the matter of keeping
prices down.
The rationing system did much to
keep the nations economy on a
fairly sound basis. Rationing is now
being lifted as the country goes
back to a peacetime economy, but
that stage will not be reached un-
til production and consumption at
tain more even balance. Let us all
hold our horses until the time
comes when the country is rid of
all inflationary forces and ready to
repose again on the solid founda-
tiOns of peacetime economy.

PLAN TO CAN THE PLANNERS

III the regulators who have had
such necessities as sugar, meat, mix
products, clothing and commodities
used by the average American fam
ily, are responsible for the short
ages we are now experiencing, IT IS
time the American people were CIV
en- the facts, and let the chips fall
where they may.
The planners of our sugar supply
started their control experiments
in the thirties, and the net result
is economic dislocations and serious
shortages of this basic product IN
every family and industry. In spite
of such record under planned
economy, it has been proposed to
bring all basic foods under world
wide centralized control.
Lawrence Sullivan, writing In the
Nations Business, asks the ques-
ton. Doth world planning by COM
mittees and chartists produce ade-
quate supplies, or do free markets
call forth a more dependable abund-
ance2" Under the planned sugar
program of 1884, American beet
sugar production was restricted and
our needs allocated to various areas,
including Cuba, Hawaii, the Philip
pines, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands,
and scattered sources. After the
Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, we lost
enormous sugar production in the
Philippines, Hawaii, and the Carib-
bean areas. But despite these losses,
the planned restrictions on United
States beet production were contin-
ued in full force and were not eased
until time for planting the l945 beet
sugar crop. Had acreage limita-
tions been lifted when losses be-
gan, more United States sugar
would have come to market by Oc-
tober, 1912
If we want things to eat and wear,
and buy and sell, in the United
States, it is time we demanded a
free peacetime economy under
which individuals can carry on
without the permission of profess
sional planners. Otherwise, we may
be eating saWdust in another five
years. Like government ownership,
a compulsory planned economy in
peace will destroy a free America.

OFFICIAL PAPER FOR LINCOLN
COUNTY
WE HAVE NO CHOICE

The reason the citizens of every
nation should insist that world
peace be established on a sound
foundation this time, is made EVIL
dent by the casualty figures re-
leased by the British Common
wealth and Empire And it is well
to remember that the atomic bomb
had not added its toll to the figures
recorded. If Germany had been able
to use it, London would have been
a barren waste and New York a
city of skyscraper skelstons.
AS it was, the total British cas-
ualties were ,427, 643 killed, wound
ed, or missing /of~prisoner of war.
These figures included 532,233 dead
or missing. Civilian casualties were
60,585 killed and 86,l75 wounded.
It is no worse for civilian to
be killed or wounded in war than
for soldier-death is as final for
either. But it brings war closer
home to the people and impresses
on them the fact that they are re-
sponsible for government, its Of
flcials and its policies. They must
take more interest in seeing that
small cliques and groups Of men
are not permitted to endanger life
and property to crafty personal
greed and ambition
The agencies of destruction per-
fected in World War H. to turn
lose upon the world, indicate that
if another war is permitted, it will
be the civilian population that are
wiped out. Therefore, it is up to
the people themselves to prevent
such catastrophe.

ARE WE GOING TO "CUT
OUR THROATSo AGAIN9

Some OF you remember what hap
pened after the last war. Prices rose
twice as fast after the Armistice
as they did during the war itself
Eighteen months after the ARMS
tice. prices were higher than at any
time during the war
After the war was over-afteI
all controls were lifted-we paid
Is to 80 cents pound for sugar
$40 for pair of shoes, and SC
on. And some of you remember
also that by May of 1920 this in
flated price structure began to col
lapse.
Factory payrolls fell A per cent
Wages were cut-l0 per cent-3O
per cent-and then
Millions of people began to walk
the streets, looking for jobs -.
More than 100000 businesses
went into bankruptcy More than
100000 farmers lost their farms
through foreclosure !.
This can happen again-this will
happen again-unless you
Protect yourself and the public
from a higher cost of living
Protect the value of our wage

Protect the value of our War
Bonds and other savings
Protect the War Bond and saw
ings of our fighting men!
There is only one way we can
protect overwhelmingly support
of Price Control, Rent Control, and
whatever Rationing remains neces-

TRULY COMMUNISTIC

The Federal government has one
of its taxexempt power plants at
its Shasta irrigation dam in north
ern California. It is an important
link in the chain now being welded
to socialize the electric industry of
the United States under giant tax
exempt Federal power monopoly
Because it is tax exempt, it offers
towns and cities long served by
highly-taxed private utilities, cleo
tricity at "cut rates"
The government does not say that
in order to cut rates it does not
pay dime of taxes on its power
plants. 1t does not say that citizens
all over the United States are as
sessed taxes to maintain govern
ment, while Federal power plants
ride free. 1t does not say that pri-
vate companies whose business it is
taking over, often in the most ruth
less manner, are in much the same
position as small nations that were
crushed by German aggression. 1t
does not say that last year one pri-
vate company whose business the
Shasta plant is now seeking to
usurp, paid the Federal government
S26,0l6,046 in taxes, in addition to
Sl2,737 9l6 paid to city, county and
state treasures in California. Nor
does it say that the Federal pow
er monopoly is as totally commmu-
nistic in effect as is the great Dnie-
per dam built under the Russian
| five-year plan,
Government ownership of power
is a forerunner Of ultimate gov
eminent ownership of land.

Army Won't Sanction Anv Cut in Draft

Washington (CNS) Gen. of Army George c. Marshall, Chief of Staff, has informed the House Military Affairs Committee that the War Department is opposed to any reduction in current draft calls, now averaging about 120,000 men a month.
 "It is urgently necessary to start an increased flow of replacements to the Pacific ocean area over and above those required to replace battle losses," Gen. Marshall wrote to committee chairman Andrew J. May. Many veteran soldiers have been through several hard-fought campaigns in that area under very trying climatic conditions. We should return these men for release from the Army as quickly as pos sible. To accomplish this, a pool of replacements must be built up."

weensey bit of light sneaked from around the washroom door. It was that dark. Suddenly a figure, dark for the purposes of mystery, en- tered through one of the double doors at the rear of the barracks. Gle had tried entering both at first but was unsuccessful, the weak ling.) Cautiously he crept toward the center isle of the barracks heading for his comfortable CD bunk in the center of the building. Then he tripped over a footlocker, yelled, and cursed violently awak- ing three light sleepers and Squires who was nibbling on a JWB-USO sandwich. (Corned beef, for the record.) After messaging his slightly dented shin, our hero con- tinued on his hazardous way final ly making the voyage without further mishap, if you don't count the chewing gum that got stuck to his shoe in the process. Stripping quietly, he hung his trousers on the nail firmly imbedded in the shelf over his head but the pants slipped and in bending down to retrieve them he bumped his head against his bunk. And so the three light sleepers awoke again to a melody of invectives. Squires by this time was down to the crust. Again silence settled while our hero, now recovered from his recent blow, clammered cat-like into his upper bunk. But his foot slipped and he fell flat on his . his =. oh, you know At this point the three light sleepers decided it was time to have cigarette, Squires began munching on an apple (also JWB- USO) and Kelley arose and began to read the 'Inner Life of an Aesthetic Compass Manufacturer" by fashlight. Who was this fellow who was so clumsy? Who was the man who aroused the barracks :? You want to know? Probably you, tonight, tomorrow or maybe next week but surely eventually.

 The War Department has adopt ed a new policy governing alloca- tion and distribution of the Army's share of the nations tobacco sup ply among installations within the continental US. and in overseas theaters, according to WD circular 135, May 5, 1945.
 Under the new policy, which will be placed in effect in the con tinental US. June 3, 1945, and in overseas theaters (including the Northwest Service Command) June 1, 1945:
 CD Mil1Uary personnel within the continental U.S., civilians author ized by law and regulations to pur- chase supplies at Army installa- tions, and not more than one adult dependent of each (who also must be authorized to purchase from a sales commissary) will receive a ration which will permit purchase of 6 packages of cigarets, or 24 cigars or ounces of smoking tobacco per week.
 (2) Prisoners of War and mem bers of Italian Service Units within the continental US. will re- ceive ration points sufficient to purchase 3 packages of cigarettes, or 12 cigars or 2 ounces of tobacco per week. However, PWs will not be permitted to buy cigars or cigarettes, and must use their ration points for smoking tobacco.
 (3) Personnel being prepared for overseas service at replacement depots and staging areas, patients in regional and general hospitals, and personnel returned from over seas service at staging areas and distribution stations will be per- mitted to purchase 10 packs of cigarettes, or 32 cigars or 8 ounces of smoking tobacco per week. This does not include operating person nel at those installations.
 (4) Sale of tobacco products to military personnel aboard troop transports will be ration free and in accordance with present pro- cedures.
