UNFAIR TO OUR PRISONERS OF WAR

the future? Is it not forcing them to consider
two impossible choices: One of standard OF
conduct impossibly noble under the terrible
circumstances of capture, or the other of
death in battle rather than the risk of failing
to measure up to such standard?
Such choice as this is not only hard on
morale, and therefore likely to work against
the Army ITSELF but it is for most of us an
immoral one to put up to men facing death
or disaster We are expecting men who run
these risks as a way of life to rise to standards
of selfishness that not one civilian in million
will ever be called upon to meet.
We think that the decision further to hu-
initiate and punish men who broke under the
strain of capture is dreadful one, under
standable perhaps in the barbaric foe but
nearly intolerable when it is deliberately
taken by high-minded men in a Christian civil
lization and in the name of patriotic duty

UNBALANCED BUDGET
IN HOLE ANOTHER
Sl.1 BILLION

= WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Essen
hover Administration, which insists
that it will balance the budget, in
creased the Governments deficit $1.4
billion more during the first quarter
of the present fiscal year than it did
during the same period of the last.
The Treasury Department reported
that the Government went into the
red by $40 billion during the first
three months of the 1855 fiscal year,
which began July l. This contrasted
with SO z billion deficit in July,
August and September of 1858.
The Treasury said the chief rea-
son for the higher deficit in 1854 is
the elimination of the excess profits
taxes on corporations.

Others Opinions

Few people, be they service men, former
soldiers or mere civilians, can fail to feel
deep disquiet at the series of courts-martial in
which the Army has tried returned prisoners
of war on charges of collaborating with their
captors.
There is to many people an essential in
justice in bringing these men, who suffered
bitterly, who in many cases returned with
ruined health, to trial in country which re-
NAMED at peace while they were at war.
The injustice is compounded, moreover, by
the fact that no general instructions cover or
could cover the behavior of men who are
made captives by barbarians.
This, it seems to us, is where the Army of
the United States has set foot on difficult
and dangerous road. By holding men account
able upon their return for actions taken under
agonizing pressures, what in effect is the
Army saying to men who may be captured in
