So, you're walking past the bal

when red-haired Army captain

You walk over and shake his

you slip that old cagey question:

Text OF Truman Speech
To US. Armed Forces

"And I know that in this hour
of victory their thoughts-like
yours-are with your departed
commander-in-ch Franklin D.
Roosevelt. This is the hour fol
which he so CALAMITY fought and
so bravely died.
81 think I know the American
soldier and sailor. He does moi
want gratitude or sympathy. He
had job to do. He did not like
it. But he did it. And how he
did it!
"Now, he wants to come back
home and start again the life he
loves-a life of peace and quiet
the life of the civilian.
But he wants to know that he
can come back to good life. He
wants to know that his children
will not have to 60 back to the
life of the fox-hole and the bomber
the battleship and the submarine.
II speak in behalf Of all your
countrymen when I pledge you
that we shall do everything in
our power to make those wishes
come true.
For some of you, I am sorry
to say military service must con-
tinue for a time. We must keep
an occupation force in the Pacific
to clean out the militarism OF
Japan, just as we are cleaning
ou' the militarism of Germany.
The Unit~d Nations are determin-
ed that never again shall either OF
those countries be able to attack
its peaceful neighbors.
"But the great majority Of you
will be returned to civilian life
as soon as the ships and planes
can get you here. The task of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-(R)-
Following is the text of an address
by President Truman to the mem
bers of the United States armed
forces.
II am speaking to you, the
armed forces of the United States,
as I did afer V-Day in Europe, at
high moment of history. The
war, to which we have devoted all
the resources and all the energy
Of our country for more than three
and half years, has now produc-
ed total victory over all our
enemies.
"This is time for great re
joicing and a time for solemn
contemplation. With the dest~uc.
tive force of war removed from
the world, we can turn now to the
grave task of preserving the peace
which you gallant men and women
have won. 1t is a task which
required our most urgent attention.
1t is one in which we must COL
laborate with our Allies and the
other nations of the world. They
are as determined as we are that
war must be abolished from the
earth if the earth, as We know
it, is to remain. Civilization can
not survive another total war.
Il think you know what is in
the hearts of your countrymen on
this night. They are. thousands
OF miles away from most of you.
Yet they are close to you in deep
gratitude and in a solemn sense
of obligation. They remember
and know they will never forget
who have gone from among
you, those who are manned
those who, thank God, are still
saie after years of fighting and
suffering and danger.

Needless Spending

Writing in NewsWeek, Ralph Robey states
few facts that every private citizen should
paste in his hat, and this goes double for
every public official having authority to spend
tax dollars. Almost every day some new plan
is proposed for spending a hundred million,
500 million, or billion tax dollars of the
peoples money. Mr.. Robey suggests that we
stop and think where all of this money is
coming from-certainy not from the men in
the legislative bodies who propose spending
it. He points to twelve years of depression
after 1929 and asks the question, Are those
the years in which we accumulated the great
riches we now propose to deal out so law
lshly? ......For the nation whole those
were years when we had to draw down, not
increase our backlog OF wealth.
1--WE have produced an incredible amount
of goods. But it has been, or is in the process
OF being largely destroyed. A nat on does not
become wealthy by destroying wealth. Where
so rich that we no longer need to think a
second time about spending few billions here
and there? The answer really is quite simple.
1t is to be found in the fact that we have not
paid for the war as we went along'
In other words, we are in debt up to our
eyes.
The billions of dollars of bonds and deposits
and paper money we now have for the. most
part represent goods which no longer exist
If they are worth anything in the future, said
Mr.. Robey, it will be only because they are
validated by new production. That's what the
politicians and the people must remember
when they talk about spending more billions
for peacetime public projects which are not
absolutely necessary, We are coming out Of
this war much poorer nation and we can
afford much less today than we could ten
years ago. Government should offer everv nos.
sible encouragement to individuals and indus.

Co-directors Alan Schneider and
DR.. Josephine McGarry Callan have
been astute indeed in their selection
OF the cast which interprets "Elec-
ira" on this occasion.
They have chosen especially well
in newcomer Janet Fehm in the
title, role, an actress who obviously
understands that Electra is a maid
of flesh and blood. Knowing that,
Miss Fehm is never misled into OBJ
scurity or mistiness by the music OF
the plays speech, nor by the classic
pose of the character in these days
Of Lana Turner. She never allows
the audience to slip away in its
awareness that here Is pretty girl

murders to follow until the whole
proud house of Atreus comes tum-

clear, too, that another emotion
