Success Crowns
Effort

If you'd be securely in the fold,
You must not blow both hot and
cold.
If you would land up in the sky,
Let your watchword be 'Tll try"
"I'll try"
If, in front, you have a goal,
If firmly to your task you hold;
A wholesome harvest you will
reap
And have no cause to wall and
weep.
When across your path there
stands
Mountains to climb and chasms
to span;
With daring courage and faith un-
shaken,
You can win most any task that's
undertaken.
From duty's path you cannot stray
Without losing the safest way.
To him who shuns his daily task,
Will hear the doleful words,
"alas," ":alas."
If you, good friend, have fallen
down,
Do not lie to be counted out;
Arise and scramble to your feet:
No mount for you will be too
steep.

LEWIS IN REAL ESTATE

One tipoff on just how vigor- ously John L. Lewis plans to enter his battle to recapture the CIO came out at the AF of L executive board meting in Miami, where the bushy-browed labor thespian join ed his former enemies in a holy war against his former friends, Phil Murray and the CIO.
 One of Lewis's first moves was to persuade the AZ of L to move out of it's shabby 30-year-old head quarters to modern streamlined building near the White House.
 Lewis was named chairman of an AZ of L committee to ACQ7843 the new building. Some years ago John paid a quarter of a million for the University Club, once the home of Washington elite, and made it his United Mine Workers headquarters
 But since then Phil Murray has established an office two blocks nearer the White House.

MONEY FOR VETS

An interesting sidelight the current legislative discussion of the best of taxation to raise money for veterans legislation is seen in recent edition o the Ketchikan Fishing News
 Thirteen persons were interviewed on the street y News reporter and 10 of the l3 favored the sales tax proposal now incorporated in the Senate bill. Doc Walker bill author apparently had good grasp of the feelings of the people in his own community when he drew the measure up.
 The three persons not favoring the tax were mer- chants and they seemed to be laboring under the
 impression some critics of the bill have been creating that the tax would entail the bookwork and tax tokens" as used in the State of Washington One Senator who has had the bill before him since the session started yesterday apparently still was under the impression that green tax tokens were to be used Truth is that this tax as proposed would take less paper work than any tax so far suggested
 Also, the merchants don't seem to understand that with this tax they pass some of it along to the consumer and deduct what they pay themselves from their Federal income tax. If an income tax was

Consumer Buying Power
CNew York Timesl


 One of the qualifications often advanced for the present wage demands is the maintenance of consumer purchasing power Yet under conditions of an un- balanced Federal budget and the large accumulation of wartime savings it is clear that the real problem for the national economy a whole is too much, rather than little purchasing power in relationship to the supply of goods. During the next few months the flow of dollars into the pockets of consumers will be at a more rapid rate than the flow of goods to the market for another reason Many workers are en- gaged in preparing plants for future production or in working on materials to be used in those plants, or in producing goods which will be used to re-estabsh inventories or to fill the pipelines of supply In all these cases workers receive wages although the goods represented by these funds will not reach the market for varying periods of time.
 Ordinarily this is not a significant problem, be- cause production has been going continuously so that the funds received today used to buy the goods produced in previous weeks CT months During the early months of the transition period, however, many industries have had start from scratch Much of the initial output of such products as washing machines automobiles and refrigerators has not been available for sale because it was required as floor models To the extent that strikes hold up the pro- duction of key parts the date when balance can be achieved has been pushed further into the future. This situation admittedly is & temporary cne but to the extent it exists we do not suffer from de- ficency of purchasing power in the hands of con- simers as is suggested by those who insist we face
 serious depression unless wage rates are increased tia11v af

levied to raise the money the merchant would pay more and would have chance of passing any along and the paper work would be plentiful.
 Here are some of the opinions as stated in the Fishing News:
 ." favor a general sales tax because it more uniformly distributes the burden Tourists and season workers pay their share as well as local people
 the boys need the money now and floating bond issue would take possibly two years If they can figure out sales tax system that is economical in it's makeup and at a minimum of bother then I'm for it
 a bond issue is too costly, both in time and money A sales tax, properly handled, is so in- significant no one will notice it. and it's not putting the boys behind the eight ball in tremendous bond interest debt
 in favor of sales tax in this instance because I am not in favor of bonding the Territory and am certainly in favor of a fund for relief of veterans
 the machinery can be set up much faster in a sales tax system than floating bond issue
 favor sales tax if it will help the vet erans

 Expectant mothers are under fav- crable influences which will extend to their offspring. Many young mothers will find cause for grsti- tude in the knowledge that thelr progenies have escaped period of destruction and will enter the world in a constructive period when all nations are cooperating toward the realization of enduring peace.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 As Spring hears small farms will be in great demand. Many near large centers of population will bring exorbitant prices. Roadside fruit vegetable stands will spring up overnight along all important highways. Not all will be selling native products.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Successful substitution of hither- to untried clements for those used in the development of the first atomic bomb is foreseen. Agitation for more rigid control of the bomb secret and internal strictures on the manufacture and use of the bomb will be heard
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Tn spite of the time already con- sumed in preparation for the trials of war criminals in Europe, other names probably will be added to the list within short time. Every one is agreed that responsibility for war crimes begins at the top, but no one seems to be sure how far it extends towards the bot tom.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: Recov- cry from a brief period of discour : agements followed by unforeseen favorable development in ventures of importance to themselves and their families.

HATToN SUMMERS PAJAMAs

HAIION SUMMERS Il fAJ1AHA4AO
 Congressman Hatton Summers of Dallas, Texas, who is now lowing cut of Congress, is chiefly famous fer his championship of States rights and his supreme court battle against Roosevelt.
 To the small circle which knew him well, however, Summers was better known because of his habit of not taking off his pajamas dur Ing the daytime, if he was going to spend the coming night away from home.
 A group of cabinet ladies discoy- cred this eccentricity one afternoon during a cocktail party in the apartment of Speaker Sam Ray burn. Sam's Texas colleague, Hat ton Summers, together with Con- gressman Howard Smith who lives just across the river in Virginia, were at the party, and while talk ing to a group of ladies. one of the latter happened to look down at Judge Summers pants leg. There she noticed a white garment with red stripes peeping out from the bottom of his trousers. At first she thought that some of the Congress mans interior adjustments had come loose.
 Embarrassed, she said nothing. But finally as more of the white garment began to protrude from under the Congressman's pants leg

Lake Balaton, an area from which it could quickly reach Trieste.
 However, the eight divisions of Jugoslav troops, bristling with lend-lease equipment, would be suf- ficient to smash the skeletonized Anglo-American forces in Trieste even without Russian assistance. At present the Jugoslav army is drawn up about 40 miles from Trieste on the so-called Morgan Line'-es- tablished by British General Morgan as the dividing point between Bri- tish-American occupation and the Jugoslavs.
 If this superior Jugoslav force starts advancing on Trieste, Amer ican troops face the alternative of stepping aside or opening fire. In the latter case, U. s. forces would be annihilated.
 Politically, the situation is ex- tremely complicated, with one im- portant political point on the side of the Jugoslavs. Back in l940, be- fore Jugoslavia was invaded by Germany, King Peter was promised that his country could have Trieste after the war, if it resisted the Nazi invasion.

she automatically called it to his attention.
 Congressman summers, however, was not at all concerned. He took the matter in his stride
 "Oh that" he said, holding out one leg, "is just my pajamas. I al- ways keep my pajamas on when I'm going to spend the night with Howard Smith across the river"

INHERITANCE FROM LAST WAR

INHERITANCE FROM LAST WAR
 Actually the city of Trieste is dominated by Italians, though pop ulation around it is largely Jugo- slav. Before the last war it was Austro- Hungarian, but went to Italy under the Paris peace confer ence-an award the JugoslaVs all ways resented Later, the Jugoslavs were even more resentful when Italian Fascists under DAnnunzio seized Plume, which Woodrow Wl- sea decreed should ba Jugoslav
 So today Marshal Tito is cut to get net only Plume, which he al- ready has, but Trieste and large areas of Italian territory around Gorizia, Udine, and the Venezia- Euganes. where the population is largely Italian.
 Probably there would have been more American support for the Jugoslavs were it not for the fact that Trieste plays a key role in the old Russian aim to take over the Balkans and dominate the eastern Mediterranean.
 Tn this respect, Stalin is carrying out the age-old ambition of the Czars. He has gone further than the Czars, however, and is demand ing a share in Italy's north African colonies, also control of the Dode- canese Islands from which he can guard the western entrance to the Dardanelles, and finally base on the Red Sea from which he can point revolver at the British lifeline through Suez.
 So Trieste, and the skeletonized American force which remains there so precariously, is only one chapter in the great struggle for power between the British Empire of old and the new budding empire of Soviet Russia.
