MORE TO BE DONE

The Senates War Investigating Committee, headed by Sen. James
M. Mead, has completed the first phase Of its inquiry into war profit
into the whole system of letting Government war contracts, with more
emphasis on the larger corporations, which gobbled up tWo-thirds of
the var contracts, and on the Government officials and policies that
made outrageous prOGteering possible
Most Of the hearings and headlines up to now have concentrated
on a shoestring concern-the paper munitions empire built up by the
of the Army brass-hats. There is a great deal more to be uncovered.
if Comptroller Lindsay Warren, the watchdog Of the Treasury, is as
accurate as he usually is
Warren suggested that uncounted millions were handed out to war
profiteers by the Government and that additional billions we're given
away in contract negotiations
Six years ago, when the late President Roosevelt was assuring the
nation that this war would not spawn the munitions millionaires of
Warl War l. The Progressive warned IN a series of articles and editor
ias that there was bound to be a repetition to the 19171918 scandals
unless the cost-pIus system Of financing war contracts was scrapped
entirely.
Some changes in the system were made, but mostly they were
changes IN name only AS a result, the same abuses were prachced by
Government officials and private contractors with the same depressing
results AS Warren put it in his testimony before the Senate investi-
gators:
"Costplus procurement is the greatest device ever invented for
pumping out the Treasury. What incentive remains for exercising the
American genius for efficiency when the most fardched and extra
VACANT OUTLAWS are reimbursed, dollar for dollar, upon the unchecked
approval of a friendly or downright sociabIe contracting offcer?'
The moral laxity in Washington during the war was astounding.
disbursement Of billions of dollars of public funds, accepted enter
tainment, including cocktail parties, hotel bills, and even travel, from
the contractors, while at the same time drawing travel expenses and
salary from the Government"
These were the men who were supposed to be representine the
people. These were the men who were negotiating and renegotiatng
contractS-While enjoying the luxurious hospitality Of the munitions
makers with whom they were negotiating.
Exposure of wartime practices by the Mead Committee is a use
full, vital public service. But there is more than that to be done. The
General Accounting Office, which Warren heads, must be given the
green light to investigate war accounts at nee. not alone for headline
purposes, but so that it car squeeze millions Of dollars of excess profits
out of the still unsettled contracts-The Progressive.

YOUR FORTUNE IN COFFEE GROUNDS

With the aid Of the people who control prices Gin a manner which
determines whether big business shall get its profits by billing the
storekeeper or from tax-financed subsidies) we have become able TO
tell fortunes by reading the bottom of a workers coffee cup.
The grounds that are left behind tell us that MI. Worker is going
TO have a harder time OF it in making his wage fit his famiy's needs.
Those grounds alone will take from 10 to 13c extra a pound out of his
pocket.
The recent increase in coffee prices hits so close to the average Amer
cans heartthat we believe more people should understand by now
that there's something wrong in this land Of the four freedoms.
The though part Of it is that we weren't asked about the coffee
boost. AS in the case Of less comforting articles, we were simply told
Coffee will cost so and SC much more, the announcement read one
day - and that was that.
at the dock was advanced only 1872 cents per pound. Why, then, the
extra cents increase by the time it reaches the consumer?
Don't be silly. We live under a percentage economy. Everybody
who handles the fragrant berry adds his percent on the higher pr;cc.
See it? That way they make extra profit on the increase. The reason
you pay more is so the people who stand between you and the under
paid coffee plantation worker can have more profit.

Here's Something Worth Watching

Will democracy be brought to Japan by converting Japanese Big
Business into Japanese-American Big Business?
That question is raised by a remarkable article in the Wall Street
journal" a newspaper which is conservative but often publishes facts
found nowhere else.
In Japan, as in Germany and Italy, big industrial trusts sub
sldlzed miltarsts and FascBts, put them in power and thus contributed
to the war. If democracy is to be encouraged in Japan, it would seem
that these trusts should be curbed.
According to the journal" the Japanese industrialists see a way
to avoid that fate. They want Americans to invest capital in Japanese
Industry"
Typical is a statement by Baron Takakimi Mitsui, former head
and major shareholder in Mitsui, largest of the great business trusts
(zaibasu). He suggest that U. S. companies buy into major japanese
u. S. business men could move in now and literally take ovcu

Americans ar having plenty of trouble curbng their own trusts,
hoping to preserve democracy here at home. If the same trusts take
over" Jauanese industry, in partnership with Jap monopolists, what
will happen to democracy in Japan and the United States?-Labor.

IRONY I'M FOOD

One of the ironles of the current
food situation is that, while Amer
lea has fallen down decidedly on
fulfilling its obligations in supply
ing food promised to Europe and
India, there is an absence of basic
commodities in this country. This
results not from any shortage, but
from the desire of producers and
professors to obtain the highest
profit for their goods, regardless
of the effect either on the workers
Of America, or on the millions who
r likely to starVe within the next
few months, in Europe and Asia.

OSS AIDED MONARCHY
IN ITALIAN ELECTION

An American recently returned
from Italy reports that one of the
reasons for the slim majority in
favor of the Republic in the June
election was the fact that the
American Office Of Strategic Serv-
ices took a direct hand in the cam
paign - on the side of the mon,
archy.
According to this informant, the
OSS, during the height of the Par
tisan battle against the FascistS,
had on its pay roll numerous gang
sters for dirty work" In the June
elections, these hoodlums, still on
the pay roll of OSS, went to work
for the monarchy.
They inspired monarchist de-
m~OnStratiOnS, provoked battles
with Republicans, and attempted to
bully a vote in favor of the mon
archy by calling attention to their
OSS connections.
The OSS, which has recently OBJ
tanned a good deal of publicity be-
cause of it's "undercover" activity
during the war, has been added to
the State Department since the end
of the Wharf.-The Call, Aug. 26.

Whut Is the Answer to This?

Rear Admiral Lawrence B. Richardson, recently resigned assistant
chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautcs, has been named assistant to
to the president of the Curtis-Wright CORPORATION" That news item
again raises this question:
Can admiralS, generals and officials of government departments
and commissions faithfully represent Uncle Sam when they have their
eyes on fat Jobs with corporations which do business with the govern
ment o r r. regulated by it?
This questinon has often been asked in Washington, but no real
solution for the problem has been found.
Meanwhile, Brass Hats continue to leave the army and navy to
accept large salaries from arplane companies, shipyards an dmunitons
manufacturers, and government officials and lawyers continue to sell

RATS WASTE % MILLION
TONS OF FOOD YEARLY

Under date Of June 27, 1916,
the Department of Agriculture, in
response to a query from the
Peoples Lobby, wrote:
The Fish and Wildlife Service
estimates that there are probably
two rats for each person in the
United States, and that each rat
consumes about fifty pounds of
FOOD a year and wastes or des-
troys three times that much. They
have no way of telling just how
much grain is eaten or DESTROYED
by rats.
The Fish and WiIdlife Service
is doing, and has been for some
time, all it can do with the limited
funds and personnel available.
Action is not being postponed
until fall. They are cooperating
with local agencies all over the
country and with the Public
Health Service, which is engaged
in typhus and malaria control in
the South.
The loss Of foods chargeable to
rats, amounts therefore, to about
Sc million pounds, or % million
tons of foodstuffs, a year" The
Lobby comments, adding:
while not all of this food could
be sent to the starving scores of
millions Of people in other coun-
tries, directly or in concentrate
form, obviously a good deal of it
could, and most of the rest could
be consumed by 80 the per cent of
American families whose average
savings are $500, and the 40 per
cent whose average savings are
$40.
won't you request the Chair
man of the Senate and House ap-
preparations Committees, and the
Director of the Budget, to all of
whom | am sending copy of this
letter, to see that the Fish and
Wild Life Service gets enough ap-
preparation to end this death deal
ing waste.

PARIS-(ONA) - Difference in
language is an important factor
contributing to the unhealthy at
mOSphere at the Paris Conference
of q nations, a poll of delegates
and linguists reveals. Bad trans
lations and above all inadequate
interpretations have plagued the
delegates from the first day of the
Conference. They increase the diff
ficult task of the worlds press.
Even with flaWleSs translatiOnS,
the very process of tranSlating all
speeches into English, French and
Russian would in itself be a Weari-
some affair, slowing up procedure
and trying already jumpy nerves.
However, the official interpreters
have been SO inadequate that the
delegates and chiefs of delegations
have been obliged on several oc-
casion5 to warn the chair about
faulty translations.
A. V. Alexander, British First
Lord Of the Admiralty and deputy
chief of the British delegation, after
listening to an Interpreter giving
his address in French, protested
from the floor to President-Pre-
mier Georges Bidault of France,
then in the chair, that the inter
probation was 'Wholly inadequate"
Some examples of errors are
particularly serious. Jan Masaryk,
Czechoslovakian Foreign Minister,
told the Overseas News Agency
that on One occasion Soviet Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov
said, "Perish the thought that this
Conference might fail. 1t must not
fail and we must proceed to funda-
mentals with this determination
in mind" The interpreter said,
Mr.. Molotov says it is not import
ant to worry about whether this
Conference might or might not
fail. What we must do is to go
ahead Immediately with the funda-
mentals and not worry about the
possibilities"
After n of Yugoslav Vice Pre-
inner Edward kardelj's speeches,
the delegation from his country
was heard shouting all through
the French translation, "C'est faux,
c'est faux Chats wrong, that's
wrong)." A Yugoslav correspon-
dent explained that E. Kardelj at
one point had mentioned that
YugOslaVia had been the victim of
German and Italian Fascist agrees
sion, whereas the interpreter had
left out the word Italian, thereby
editing E. Kardelj's speech to mean
that only the Germans had attack
ed Y~ugoslavia.
There are countless other ex-
amples Of varying Importance that
have led delegates to say that the
language barrier and faulty inter
pretations have become a real OBJ
stacle to better understanding. One
hot exchange between Andrei Y.
