NEWSPAPERS HAVE THEIR TROUBLES, TOO

We might preface this by stating that we're not complain
ing in any way; we just want to explain some of our problems
in the hope that everyone will have a better understanding o
them.
A number of our correspondents from Valley county COM
munities tell us they sometimes receive complaints because this
or that item is not published in the paper, with the comment
eff that's all you think of our news, we won't give you any
more" Well, readers, that situation isn't the correspondents
fault; it's right here in our office.
The demands on a newspapers time and space, which are
the only two commodities it has to give or sell, have increased,
rather than decreased under the stresses of this war period.
Along with this, like just about every other business, we are
working with a staff reduced by war nanpower needs. Further,
even if we had the help and the time, the size of the weekly
edition is limited by the quota of paper allotted to us. And,
although we have less paper, we have had a tremendous de-
mand to fill for subscriptions from our service men. We've filled
that demand and we intend to keep doing so. This often means
that every news story and every correspondents items must be
pared down to the barest essentials to get all the news into linn
tied space. Boil it down. is the slogan not only in our office
but in every newspaper office in the land.
We hope all this will give our readers some idea OF the
problems we face every day. We hope it will keep them from
being too critical of our newswriters, who are doing the best
they can under handicaps.

HOW FAR FOR SECURITY?

1t is encouraging, coming from a labor leader, to hear
Philip Murray, CIO president, say, 81 am opposed to the out
right guarantee by government of employment and purchasing
power because 1 realize the dangerous bypaths down which
they would lead America"
Word in Washington is that the theory of deficit spending
is again gaining currency there, just as it was SO popular during
some of the depression years and was manifested by such ideas
as the WPA. This school of thought is headed by an English
economist named John Maynard Keynes, no doubt a brilliant
man. 1t is said that even New Dealers are divided over his
theories. His idea is to prepare each year a national budget of
anticipated income. If this did not prove enough, the govern
ment would guarantee the rest.
This sounds simple enough, but the practical implications are
very real and very dangerous. Most people prefer work in priv
ate business and industry and a large segment of business and
industry is doing all planning possible to provide a maximum of
wealth and more consumer goods.
Government work by deficit spending would be largely
confined to public works. We know that some of these are
needed, such as highways and irrigation projects. We have GER
tainly seen plenty of the other kind-the make work. projects
that were, in many cases, handled ineffciently and on a waste
political basis.
If the government spends money, it will have to borrow it,
it borrows, it can repay in only one way, and that is by
taxation. Our national debt is now approaching the three
hundred billion dollar mark. Nobody is kicking about that; war
are tremendous. But taxation will continue, nobody knows
low long after the war. Are we going to make every effort to
reduce the terrible burden of debt? Or will we add to it? Some
line it must be paid. And somebody must pay it. That some
body" is just the average man. How far should we go in SEEK
ng security by trading in deficits?

BULLETS ARE DEMOCRATIC

We note that a n~eighboring service club had as its special
guest and speaker a wounded veteran of Japanese ancestry. AT
the same time, from all over the nation, we hear disquieting tales
of racial intolerance and bigotry.
Not SO long ago we talked to a veteran of long service in the
southwest Pacific. If anyone had reason to hate the japanese it
was he. His words were about like this: eve had japanese in our
unit who took far greater risks daily than any white man. They
not only faced the fire of the enemy but they ran the risk of
being mistaken for the enemy by our own forces. 1 think men
like these should have every opportunity for recognition and
citizenship. l think that japanese who are proven disloyal should
be deported."
That is a military mans view. His philosophy was evolved
under fire. 1t contrasts strangely with the muddled thinking of
some of our super-patriots at home. An enemy's bullet is demo-
cratic and not discriminatory. 1t will seek the flesh of an Ameri-
can, no matter whether the skin is white, brown or yellow.

Ditto approaches his Bible lesson
by trying to apply the moral in it
to present-day problems. He is
particularly desirous OF drawing
parallels or applications to current
happenings, usually from the law
Iyer's point of view.
At the time of the San Francisco
Conference, Mr.. Ditto showed how
the covenant between Abraham and
God has faithfully existed since
that time. The covenant is a con-
tract, he explained, and a contract
is enforceable under law. The ap-
plication shows that a covenant be-
tween individuals or nations can
be made to exist as long as there
Is good faith between the parties.
Inspector Milton Smith of the
Metropolitan Police Department,
president of the class, said "Mr,
Ditto is a very thorough teacher
and studies his subject carefully. He
presents the facts in detail and
is an interesting speaker"
A graduate of National University
Law School in the District, Mr.. Ditto
is probably the youngest living child
of a Civil War veteran. The 43-
year-old attorneys, father, Thomas
Hood Ditto, was a member of the
1st Alabama Cavalry in that con-
f1ict. He was born in 1846 and
died in 1911. The elder Mr.. Ditto
served as Sunday school, superin-
tendent at his church in Alabama
until he died.
Mr.. Ditto came to Washington
from Guntersville, Ala. in 1925. He
was member of the local Police
Department until he switched to the
law. He has been practicing here
since 1899. Mr.. and Mrs. Ditto live
at 2700 @ street NV.

Christmas wouldn't be any fun at all, to the kids, if dad didn't get down under the tree and join them in a good old-fashioned game.
 Sure they have fun ripping open their other presents. But you can just play alone with a doll or a toy for so long without being bored. Of course it was different when Junior had his electric trains-dad was always on hand to put him on the right track. But now it's the games that we must depend on as something the whole family can enjoy.
 Of course most of the games are really time-worn now. Santa still hasn't recovered from all the war shortages of chip board, plastic, metal, and die cut materials. So,
