STANTON About $750,000,000 worth of E, F and G bonds bought 10 years ago by thrifty citizens of the United States, at a time they were called "Baby Bonds," are maturing, re ports E. C. Sammons, state chairman of the Savings Bonds division of the U. S. Treasury. Of the national total, ap proximately $7,000,000 worth of these maturing bonds are in the hands of Oregon residents. Discussing this phase of the present bond situation, Sam mons says that Oregon bankers report that in almost every case where a substantial amount of bonds has been converted into cash, the money is being used for some constructive purpose usually in connection with a family need. Ordinarily, bankers report, the money is spent with in the community where the bond payee lives, the most frequent expenditures being for a new home. Others are investing in businesses or buying farm machinery and equipment. Oregon bankers, Sammons reports, are unani mous in the belief that almost no funds from bonds held by Oregon people are being wasted at present. This report by the state bond chairman furnishes proof of the "cushion" effect of wartime savings upon both inflation and deflation. Neither can go to extremes while, and if, American people are conscious of controls made possible through savings. During inflationary periods, when prices are too high, enough people quit buying and put money into savings to keep the spiral from becoming overly dangerous. But when deflation strikes and we near the depression stage, with low prices, people bring money out of savings and put it into permanent investment which in turn increases em ployment and production. It will be recalled that late in the last depression period the federal government released the second half of the World War I bonus payment in an amount comparable with the $750,000,000 "Baby Bonds" now coming into maturity. The nation' economy received an immediate lift from that distribution of money. Many of our pessimistic economists are predicting fur ther recession and more difficult times, but we believe they are far off base. ' Congressman Harris Ellsworth in commenting upon na tional economy ventured the assertion that 1950 will be one of our most prosperous years. He bases his predic tion upon the fact that the Veterans administration is releasing around $3,800,000,000 in insurance dividends, or refunds, to World War H veterans. When another $750,000,000 is tossed into the pot it means that a lot of money is going to be placed in circulation in every part of the country during the next few months. Further recession would seem very remote under such circumstances. There is, of course, the possibility that we will toss our prosperity into the ash can. Continuing labor troubles are wasting millions upon millions of dollars. Strikes in fields of transportation, steel, coal mining, etc., not only force idleness upon thousands of workmen in those particular trades, but also involve related industries and general economy. Labor unrest can produce losses offsetting the prosperity resulting from distribution of money into the hands of millions of people. It is entirely possible through labor wars to wreck the controls operating through the accumulation of savings bonds. Savings cannot be accumu-1 Russia can people of my race find lated by idle workers.

That many Americans still are saving systematically is evidenced by the fact that Oregon residents bought $2. 882.766 worth of E bonds during September, an increase over August, and that to date in 1949 Oregonians have purchased $28,676,242 worth of E bonds, $1,075,000 more than for the comparable period in 1918. And, while sales were going up, redemptions went down, for cash-ins through September 30, 19-19, were $7,500,000 less than for the first nine months of 1918. All of which is very 'YOL.KHON,YOURE BRINGS llj ,7S- (yf UNEMPiOMENT TO MILLIONS & 7 OP WORKERS ANP LOSSES CZLJfj iTUS- X foMAwy innooemT people.' .

The plane, apparently lost In machinery of government, I here Is certainly nothing wrong with having industries si up funds for pensions, for med ical insurance and for other soc ial security measures for their workers. Many private business es and industries already have gone a long way in such matters. II private enterprise does not want the government to set up the welfare state which President Truman seeks, the private enter prise must meet the demand, and need, for welfare measures itself. Apparently a majority of indus try is willing to do so. The bone of contention is not the establisn- ment of such programs, but the nsistence of tne steel workers union that all payments into such lunds be made by the Industi-y, with the workers contributing nothing. Industry objects, rightly, that it would be better if the worker himself contributed a share. Virtually all industry spon sored welfare programs in exis tence today are on a basis ot company and worker both shar ing. And they work well. In most of them, it is entirely voluntary with the individual worker whe ther he participates or not, which i in keeping with the American principle of individual rights. Welfare programs sponsored by private enterprise, with the individual worker having the -p-portunity to take part or not as. he sees fit, and with him contrib vling his share to his own indi vidual welfare fund, are infinetly better than welfare programs in which the government or indus trybecomes a paternalistic San ta CLaus and the worker is train ed to expect someone else to take care of him. fog, crashed Into high tension wires.
