Wartime Savings
.(New York Times

CNew York Times
 During the past four years individuals have accumulated wartime savings which are well in excess of S1OOO0o 100000 These savings have played an important role in enabling to hold the price line
 They are now considered by many persons potential demand which will tend to maintain production ana employment after the From this point of view the use of such savings would be a very favorable development However, too little attention has been directed at the composition of these savings, or at their origin or at the effects attending their
 There are a number of key questions which are urgently in need of an answer before we can begin to understand all of the notifications of this prob lem Some of the more important include:

 B. Do not savings of the current magnitude ndi- cate that the initial impacts of reduction in incomes need not reduce the volume of purchasing power below the value of goods and services at current prices?
 The answers to several of these questions require data such as the distribution of savings by income groups which are not available In other cases the answers would indicate the extent to which national policy regarding postwar controls, com uensatorv spending and other programs may require reorientation Is it not time to stop talking about globa totals and to consider the implications Of these savings? .

of the restaurants, and he was put on the pan by younger Senators, who formerly served in the House of Representatives where the res- taurants are much better.
 Byrd was criticized for service, prices, food quality plus the failure of the restaurant staff to observe the regulation restricting one large room for Senators and guests. One difficulty is that certain lobbyists make themselves at home in this room and tip more lavishly than most Senators.
 Result is that walters prefer to serve the lobbyists.
 To the disgust of Senators at the closed-door caucus, Byrd refused to stand up and argue with his critics, referring complaints to Capitol Architect David Lynn, who was not on hand to defend himself and who lis not as responsible for the func- tioning of the restaurant as Byrd is
 The -off-and few Senators in the session knew this-is that Byrd himself never eats in the Senate Office Building Cafeteria and hardly ever in the Capitol Restau- rant He brings his lunch from home.

RUSSIAN HISTORY MAY REPEAT

Information as to what goes on inside Russia is always difficult, but there has been increasing sus- picion of late that Stalin does not control his own Generals. This is what has happened repeatedly in Russian history. When the Gen. erals built themselves up in war time, they dominated the Czar.
 And today. the men who once were strong in the Soviet have much less to say. Ex-Foreign Min ister Litvinoff, great believer in international cooperation, is now completely out of the picture. Foreign Minister Molotov has less authority.
 The Generals, in turn, are con- sidered responsible for the previous policy of having a. messenger-boy Ambassador who they could easily control at San Francisco. Also, it is strongly suspected that they in- spired Stalin's demand that the U.- s. Ninth Army retire from the Berlin suburbs on April 13 so the Red Army could enter first.
 Tragedy is that some U. s. war chiefs, by going over the White House heads, are strengthening the Red Generals hand. The Russians are a suspicious people anyway They have been made more so by being shut up by us in the diplo- matic closet. When we refuse to recognize a nation as a member of international society, naturally that nation does not forget the rebuff easily.
 And meanwhile, the State De- partment, together with the old Cliveden set in England which
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-04-25

wanted to bleed both England ane Russia white, have already quietly gone about plans to rebuild Ger many as bulwark. against Russia Thus the seeds for future peace ol war are being planted before this war is ended.

is that the United Nations seek territorial ag- grandizement and the State Department, in keeping with this, leans favoraby toward the idea of inter national trusteeshps under which different regions would fall under the guardianship of or another of the vctors with the guardian in each case being obliged to help the populace toward eventual inde- pendence and being subject to special controls of the new world security organization
 Offhand this idea would appear to be sharply at variance with Admiral Kings, but under something
 like the trusteeship plan, it ought to be possible without violating the Atlantic Charter-to turn over to American guardianship key islands won by American forces Admiral King obviously does not wish the United States to acquire more territory for terrtorys sake He simply wants to build against the possibility of future aggression in way that will serve not only cur own security but the entire world peace system
 His viewpoint thus seems bascay sound even though there is room for argument about how big our big postwar Navy should be and how many Pacific bases we shall really need after Japan goes down.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-04-25

coming suspicious they will be aimed against her.
 So no matter how high-geared and beautifully perfected the ma- chinery for peace devised at San Francisco, it cannot succeed unless it rests on a foundation of good will and mutual trust.
 There will be a lot of argument here about three votes for Russia, six votes for Britain, and 20 in direct Latin American votes for the United States. But the real fact is that the question of votes becomes pure theory if one big nation doesn't want to cooperate.
 If the tremendous armed forces of the U. s. A. and the U. S s. R. get fidgety and looking for some thing to do; if the Admirals and Generals try to become statesmen; if the State Department career boys begin playing, balance-of- power politics, then all the votes and all the peace machinery ar ranged at San Francisco won't help
 The tragic fact is that already there is evidence that the Brass Hats in at least two countries, plus certain dipl o m t S, are getting nervous trigger-fingers.
 
 Already there is a strong suspi- cion that Stalin can't control his own Generals. Already there is mere than a suspicion that Roose- welt could not control his Ad- mirals

'TRUsTEESHIPs A HOT POTATO

One such case concerns the Pa cific island bases taken from Japan. For more than two years, the late President argued that all islands taken by the U. s. A. should be held by us, but under the United Nations trusteeship, whereby other nations were given airplane and shipping privileges on these islands provided they gave us reciprocal rights on their islands.
 At Yalta something along that line was agreed to by Roosevelt personally. And when he returned, a directive to that effect was sent to the State, War and Navy De- partments, plus the Interior De- partment which administers insular possessions. But when the repre- sentatiyes of these four depart ments sat down to work out the details for carrying out the Presi- dents directive two departments the Army and Navy-kicked over the traces. The third, the State Department, went along reluctantly, leaving only the Interior Depart ment to obey the directive whole heartedly.

shipment of rubber from the
Pacific, produced by an under
ground army of rubber tappers
during the Jap occupation Of
the Philippines, has arrived in

Working on the sly on Jap
devastated rubber plantations,
this corps Of working guerillas
was able to store away tons and
tons of rubber by the time Gen.

They improvised primitive
machinery from the wreckage
left by the Japs. Under the lead

tain they produced rubber for
the United States between visits
