IF CONGRESS- should pass the tuH
Il employment bill of 1945' this country
would be permanently committed to
system of planned economy" directed
from Washington, d. c., with no limits
whatsoever in its scope.
The idea, adapted from Sir William
Beveridges national budget" plan IN
England, is to "spend" the country into
full employment"
The President will estimate for
one or more years ahead the number or
workers, the amount of spending OF all
kinds necessary to make Jobs for them
all, and any prospective deficiency IN
this so-called national budget"
To meet the deficiency" program
will be offered in the budget" to "en-
courage" increased spending" by "private
enterprise" and by state and local gov
ernments," together with general pro-
gram" of federal-spending."
i and an analysis" for which Senator
Wagner of New York appears to be mainly
responsible, both show clearly and unmis-
takably that the mild word encourage
is used~as substitute for the hard word
compel"
The bill provides that
THE President shall include in such
budget such recommendations for legis-
latiOn relating to such program as he may
deem necessary or advisable.
"Such program may include, BUT
NEED NOT BE LIMITED TO, current
and projected federal policies and activities
with reference to banking and currency.
monopoly and competition, wages and
working conditions, foreign trade and
investment, agriculture, taxation, social
security, the development of natural re-
sources and SUCH OTHER MATTERS
as may DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY
affect the level of NONFEDERAL invest
ment and expenditure"
The language covers everything in
the way of federal compulsion.
"These measures, declares Senator
Wagner's analysis, "shall DRAW UPON
THE WHOLE TOOL KIT OF FEDERAL
POLICIES"
So two of the effects of the full
employment bill'' would be
Total regimentation of commerce, in
L dustry, finance, agriculture and labor;
and
O-Federal control in the fields of state
- and local government.
Socialistic as they are in their every
implication, the parent Beveridge plan and
the full employment bil' alike profess
that the maintenance Of free enterprise"
is among their purposes.

The Middle WaV
BY BENJAMIN DECASSERES

4 SUCCESSFUL democracy is safest in
conSeryotive-liberols.
This middle-of -the-road attitude means
that the conservatism of congressional
and governmental leaders must be de-
veloped along the line of the fundamental
conservative principles of the founders of
this country as expressed in the Constitu-
tion.
Our liberalism should arise from a
disposition to progress" with the will of
the people when that will does not over
step the doctrine of INDIVIDUAL LIB
ERTY, which is the very core and heart
of the American character and way of life.
A perfect type of American conserva-
tive-lberal is Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio
Senator Taft is not a glamorous politi-
cal exhibitionist Of demagogic vote
cadger. His excellent and we'll balanced
ideas naturally do not attract the atten-
tion of, say leader" who seeks to put
a free bottle of milk on the doorstep of
every family in the world.
Senator Taft has buried away in the
appendix of a recent number of the
Congressional Record the following sober
and calm presentation of the problems Of
our postwar world and their tentative
solution:
Maximum employment and maximum
L business activity: This can only be
secured by employment IN prirate enter
prise. At best, government pay rolls,
could only put 100000 men to work
and we wish to employ more than So
100000 A 10 per cent increase in private
employment would remove the necessity
for any public works program"
O-"We should force the OPA to adopt
- much more liberal policy for the
reconversion period, eliminating entirely
nonessential articles, providing adequate
prices for essential articles, a0hich WiU
bring thousands of neW small concerns
into the business Of manufacturing needed
goods and providing employment l be-
lieve that all controls should be removed
from wages early in 1946,"
C-"The WPB should be rcq,Nred to

are inclined 10 do so, but are continually
hampered by the unreasonable demands
of the Army and Navy"

sludge and mud, chilled by the rDind
and rain of the foxhoie, driving
home to their objective and to the
judgment seat of God. I do not
knoW the dignity of their birth, but
do knoW the glory of their death.
They died unquestioning, uncor-
planning, with faith in their hearts
and on their lips the hope that We
tDould go on to Uictory.
THE realism of daring mind;
Il "On looking back through the
history of English-speaking people it
wiH be found in every instance that
the most sacred principles of free
government haUe been acquired, pro-
tected and perpetuated through the
embodied, armed strength of the
people concerned. From Magma
Carta to the present day there is
little in our institutions Uorth hdU-
ing or Worth perpetuating that has
not been achieved for us by armed
men.
Every nation that Would pre-
serUe its tranquility, its riches, its
independence and its self-respect
must keep aliUe its martial ardor and
BE AT ALL TIMES PREPARED
TO DEFEND ITSELF"
And then this tribute to that
unique figure in all military history
the democratic American soldier:
"He belongs to history as fur
nishing one of the greatest examples
of successful and disinterested
patriotism. He belongs to posterity
as the instructor of future genera
tions in the principles of liberty and
right.
"The memorials of character
drought by him can neUer be
dimmed. He needs no statues or
monuments; he has cdrUed his oWn
statue in the hearts of his people; he
has built his otUn monument in the
memory of his compatriots."
In this farewell address you will
find the human, the military, the
American soul of our great COM
mander, and today his men sweep
to the very pinnacle of glory by land,
sea and air, for he has crushed the
greatest menace that ever confronted
this nation.
He and his fighters are TRIUM-
PLANT DEMOCRACY!

II one or more heroes" - The OK
ford dictionary.
We use the terms epical and epic
rather loosely, but we are not using
them loosely when we speak of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur as an "epical
figure. "
Just now we Americans, in the
physical conquest of Japan, are in
the presence of the most amazing
epic ever written by the sword of
history and in Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur we can boast of as great and
epical a figure as ever existed.
There are only two truly "epical"
figures in our whole history. One is
George Washington and the other is
Douglas Macarthur.
There are, indeed, striking psy-
Geological resemblances between the
father of the republic and the man
who stands as a conqueror on soil
that has never been conquered before
Japan.
Both undertook a colossal and
seemingly impossible task-and
SUCCEEDED.
Both have that same INFLEXI-
BILITY OF WILL that moves
mountains.
DOTH have at the core of their
- being faith in America that
knows no shadow of turning.
That Gen. Macarthur is built of
the stuff that is epical is revealed in
his farewell address to the men of
the AID (Rainbow) Division which
he commanded in World War I.
1t will rank in epical quality with
the famous funeral oration of Pericles
and the farewell address of Washing
.on, for be it remembered that Gen.
Macarthur when he addressed his

the great future in store for him.

PART III.
BY E. F. TOMPKINS

"The problem of full employment and
the problem of control of industry are
connected i'm many ways"
Sir William Beveridge also ad-
monishes:
Full employment cannot be won and
held without great extension OF the
responsibilities and powers of the state
EXERCISED THROUGH ORGANS OF
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT -.
ITO ask for full employment while
objecting to these extensions Of state
activity is to will the end and refuse the
means.
1T is like shouting for victory In
total war while rejecting COMPULSORY
SERVICE and ratiOning."
TNHIS form of planned economy" was
i ably discussed last March by DR..
Ludwig Misses, an international authority
now at New York University, in an address
before the American Academy of Political
and Social Science.
DR.. Misses said:
There are TWO PATTERNS for the
realization Of SOCIALISM.
"The one pattern-we may call 1t
the MARKHAM or Russian pattern-is purely
bureaucratic
''All economic activities are depart
ments of the government =.
"The whole nation forms one single
labor army with compulsory service the
commander of this army is the chief of
state.
THE second pattern-we NAV call il
the German system-differs from the first
one in that it SEEMINGLY and NOMI-
NALLY maintains private ownership OF
the means of production -.
But the government tells what
and how to produce, at what prices and
from whom to buy, at what prices and to
whom to sell
The government DEGREES at what
wages labOrers should work and to whom
and under what terms the capitalists
should entrust their funds -.
'As all prices, wages and interest
rates are fixed by the authority they
are merely quantitative terms on the
authorization orders determining each
citizens income, consumption and standard
This is SOCIALISM with the OUT
WARD APPEARANCE of capitalism"
The text of the full employment bll''
with its statutory allusion to use Of "the

The News


w The accounts say that when
we landed the Japanese met us
with an invitation 10 a cup OF
tea. The surrender has thus be-
come known as "the tea cup
surrender.
Not with swords exchanged,
this time. Not with an initial
laying down Of arms. But with
two weeks of delay after terms
were drawn, and a proffer OF
tea.
This will make the end OF
the Pacific war unique forever
in history. The tea incidentally
was rejected.
There has been some talk
here, but no alarm, about the
Ia days grace Gen. Macarthur
granted. The word was passed
around through Washington
that he thought they probably
realty needed that much time
10 adjust their people from the
war propaganda line which had
concealed from them even the
news of the atomic bomb.
Unless they had been granted
time TO change their home front
TO the facts of the situation,
Macarthur thought there might
be trouble in the occupation.
THE hiatus, nevertheless, gave
Il the Jap officials time TO
whip up more than cup Of tea
IN their own interests.
They could destroy every
record in the nation of interest
to foreigners.
They gould Organize their
underground for what the en-
peror told all Asiatics was
temporary condition" OF defeat.
They could plan their whole
inner campaign for the occupa-
ton.
What has proved true OF
Japan in the past has always
been beyond our worst sus-
picions (witness the, Pearl Har-
Dor reportS).
Yet it is plain there should
be no early cause for alarm.
We went in with enough power
to handle any traps. And Japan.
now, has suddenly become a
smaller nation. -
The single point in the sur
render terms which limited Ja-
pan TO her homeland was the
greatest guarantee of peace in
the impending future.
She was never powerful at
home where she is short in
raw materials and could not
possibly build power.
1t was her East Asiatic ex-
pansion program which gave
her the resources with which
10 make war against us.
Now Japan has become our
responsibility. China and Rus
sla have settled their Ash
attic mainland differences, at
least to the extent OF a pres
emily peaceable working agree
ment.
The Pacific peace is there
fore on an entirely different
plane than the settlement in
Europe.
We have nothing on the Ash
attic continent, but have taken
the islands of the Pacific and
the japanese homeland, presum-
ably intending to withdraw
eventually when peace is re-
stored, but keeping island bases
we consider essential TO our
military safety (either under
military safety.
IN THE mainland are only
" Russia and China, as major
influences there on the ground.
Through Singapore, India and
1ndo-China, the absentee Brit
iSh, and French are present to
a lesser extent.
Thus the problems Of Europe
here take A different form.
Russia is rising in Asia as
major power, as in Europe, but
China will be a more formid-
able offset TO her than any
local power in Europe, If China
can piece her broken country
together and become a strong
nation.
