s Air Freight limit l
The dimensions of the new Kaiser-Hughes
cargo plane axe almost staggering: wing spread,
320 feet; length, 218 feet; gross weight,1 400,000
lbs.; fuel capacity, 8000 gals. But in terms of
cargo-carrying capacity the figures are diminu
' tive: ttftons. ' I
The initial enthusiasm over the Kaiser, sug
gestion of swarms of cargo planes has cooled
considerably as the facts became known. It was
learned that it would take more tankers to' fur
nish gasoline for cargo planes than any possible
saving could be made in use of surface vessels.
Nor is there any more positive assurance of de
liveries, because the crack-up rate of j aircraft
. is still heavy; and it is logical to believe the
nazis would try to use fighters to break up fleets
of cargo planes. ' ; .
OWI has issued a? report which shows that In
the postwar period even though we have great
. expansion of air freight, the surf ace equipment,
trains, boats, trucks, will have to do the heavy
end of transportation. It says that for a clipper
carrying 8 tons of freight from New York to
..England, with refueling required in Newfound
land, it would take more than two surface tank
er loads of gasoline delivered to Newfoundland
and England to' permit air delivery of i a cargo
which one surface freighter could carry, across.
The air, freight rate will necessarily be high.
Now it averages 40c a ton mile. Rail freight av
erages around a cent a ton mile; water transpor
tation much less than that. This means that air (
freight will be limited to high value goods -er
perishables. During the' war, cargo planes are
invaluable in making quick deliveries, often to
inaccessible spots, jumping the water gaps and
mountain ranges. After the war airborne freight
will expand enormously, without a doubt; and
costs will decline with increased volume and
improved efficiency in planes. But the more
prosaic methods of moving goods will still be
needed, and will still haul the mass commodities
which are the basis of manufacturing and com
merce. ' : 11
War Administration
Raymond Clapper, one of the country's best
columnists, has stopped off in London after his
trip to Sweden to see a neutral country, one of
the few left in the world, in action. He returns
to London after an absence of two years.: The
evidences of the fateful blitz are still there
open areas of rubble, gaping water-filled cra
ters, walls minus window glass, boarded-off
wreckage. But the people, he finds, are in dif
ferent mood. There is now the calm assurance
of victory, rather than the expression of bulldog
tenacity which carried the British through the
luftwaffe's terrific punishment. V
But one thing which Clapper reports is of par
ticular significance, and that is he finds the
same functionaries at work in the various "gov
ernment offices. At the information office,
where he checked" in, the same clerks and offi
cials are on the job; so he picks up where he
left off, just as though he .had been away on a
two weeks vacation Instead of for two years. In
this country, as he remarks, bureaus are cleaned
out of jtheir personnel over the lunch hour. A .
government official doesn't, know when his '
j "head will roll." Even the highest officials nev
er seem quite sure of the permanence or extent
of their power. i
The Roosevelt rule of trial and error surely
doesn't work in wartime: there's to much of
both. Our war administration is largely an kn- '
provisation. It operates like an experiment, sub-'
ject to change at any moment. As time goes on
agencies should -get through the period ' of
'shake-down cruise" and operate on a firm bas
is. Whether we "will reach that happy day before
the war's end is problematical. If there is one
field which needs thorough study and planning
before the "next war" it is. that of internal ad
ministration. The present fumbling , has been
costly in time and money, beyond our compre
hension. ' -(-; '. ;.
What's CookinT .!,'-
The allied world as well as the axis sits on the
edgs of its chair waiting for the nevt great de
velopment of the war. Summer comes f apace ',
in the northern hemisphere, the best weather
for fighting. Ground is dried out in Russia. Skies
are clear everywhere except In Burma where
the monsoon period is on. Armies and fleets ev
erywhere are poised for combat. -
The signs : all point to an imminent allied
thrust in the Mediterranean probably aimed
first at the island defenses of Italy; Sicily, Sar
dinia, Pantelleria; perhaps also at Italy; and
(again perhaps) at Crete or even Greecev Of
course if Turkey comes ' to our side, the drive
may be made across the historic Hellespont. - -

Pinch on Tires, Gas
The pinch is coming on gasoline-and tires.
The chief enforcement attorney for Oregon's
OPA office speaks out plainly and says "no one
has a moral right to do any pleasure driving at
aLL" A spokesman for the petroleum administra
tion declares pjans are being made to extend
the eastern states ban on pleasure driving to
the whole nation because of the necessity of con
serving gasoline for war purposes. J
Even more .serious is the tire situation, es
pecially in truck tires. For months now trucks
have been rolling along, getting replacements
or retreads without much difficulty. Now ware
house reserve stocks have been cleaned out, and
receipts from factories are only a 'drop In the
bucket" compared to demand. The prospect is
that many logging trucks will be laid up for
lack of tires.' For passenger cars, grade III tires,
which are chiefly used tires, are said to be "vir
tually non-existent." Synthetics are not yet in
production on a scale to give much relief. Re
capping stocks are likewise very short.
All this simply adds up to the fact that mo
torists will have to conserve their tires, and for
lack of gas will have to reduce their traveling.
They are doing it in the east; evidently we must
come to it here. It will be a full year before syn
thetic tire v swing into large production. People
will have to stay home or travel "on their up
pers" for another year, ' ,
Military demands come first; agricultural and
industrial next; personal, last. Only by rigid
conservation of rubber and gas will we be able
to skin through and do the essential jobs. This
is just another way in which the war is pinching.

MALLON
; WASHINGTON, June 7 The government and
labor are proposing (Wakner-Dingell bill) to bring
security, to the people of this country by taxing
them $8,000,000,000 a year on a promise to pay un
employment, old age, medical
and maternity - assistance to
those who need them in uncer
tain future years. -:'?
This $8,000,000,000 of : taxes
would be invested In govern
ment bonds Thus it is evident
that th scheme will provide
no more assurance to anyone
than the security of government
bonds, j
. But the people of this coun-.
try already have Invested their
v. .savings patriotically in government bonds 'not on
- ly toward the winning of the war but to provide
for themselves just exactly, what the AFgovern
xnent plans security; against -old age, -unemployment,
ill health, and maternity if such a matter de-'
velops. " i i ''u-Mi'--!.-.-:
It is also clear therefore, that a far greater as
surance of security could, be attained today for all
members of the AFL. and all other citizens by gov-
ernment steps to assure the repayment of war bonds
"iif dollars worth just as much in the purchase of
bread, meat and clothing, as the dollars they have
poured into these bonds. : - .
These are the primary steps to gain security, al
though they are not mentioned by the liberals pro
moting the taxing-insurance will o the wisp.' The
liberals pursue ' a distant Utopia, while ignoring
the abyss in front of them.'
This abyss is pointed out in all its . dark depths
and immediate nearness in a new book by the im-
partial authority Harold G. Moulton, of the Brook
ings institution. It is entitled The New Philosophy
of Public Debt." It sets forth the policy being
schemed within the government by the national re
sources planning board, federal reserve board Ad
visor Alvin Hansen, and advocates, of the Keynes
endless debt theory (including apparently also the
capatalistie Fortune magazine). ; ; f 4 .
These people want ever larger public debts, ap
parently without limit, built on and on up by the
deficit financing of vast public works budgets. They
even believe the debt is not a debt as it is owed
"by the people to the people. ; J
- They call it an asset, not a liability and the mora
unpayable if becomes the more they likt it The
only limit 'even suggested by Hansen is that the
debt can safely go "beyond double the national in
come If necessary; Keynes mentions none. a
Dr, Moulton rightly concludes such fantastic fi-
- nance would destroy : the solid financial founda
tions of-this country, thatinternational reconstruc
tion would then 'rest on quicksand and he could
have said. that all thesecurity of all the people
would thus be destroyed. ; -..,
Mr. Roosevelt and Treasury Secretary Morgen
thau have taken the Moulton view. I had not no
ticed it at the2 time, but Dr. Moulton has discovered
that Mr. Roosevelt said in his 1944 budget that this
prospective war "debt of $210,000,000,000 can and
will be paid." ' .
'Moulton also quotes Morgenthau: r
The rise in federal debt means that both princi
pal and interest must be paid later out of higher
taxes."' -ri-f': 'i:-t - -!" i ' t: ' 5-v?' :u .-v.
Th implication of Moulton's book is that Messrs.
Roosevelt and Morgenthau must be held to their
promises and not 'allowed to fall victims to the
Keynes theorists in their midst' ;
Teople in the street do not think of these things
In connection with social security, although they are
the primary essence of It
. " Unless the people are alert to the manner In
which their dollar can be depreciated by price in
creases and ' their bond investment dissipated by
spending, it is easily conceivable this nation will
eventually lace financial difficulties. - -
Nations do not go bankrupt When their 'debts
have grown so vest that they cannot raise the mon
ey to pay the interest on it by taxation, they Issue
paper currency or inflate the price level. ,
By such Inflationary processes, they can wipe out
a debt and" indeed everything of value in the coun
try. If they depreciate the value of the dollar to
25 cents by a 73 percent increase in prices, they
wipe out three-fourths of the Burden of the debt
Thus, if the liberals will consider first things In
seeking security, they will banish from their coun
sels, and the government's, the theories of Mr.
Roosevelt's planning board and the Keynes pro
moters. They will safeguard the social security of
government bonds by working for three objectives:
1 A good job, a good wage for all who will work.
. 2 A stable price level which guarantees the se
curity of wages and war bond buying.
S R?paymentof the war bonds in which the sav
. fngs of the people are now largely invested.

Interpreting
The War News
By GLENN BABB
AP War Analylst for The Statesman
" The air fighting over the long
Russian front has reached a
; pitch of intensity which indi-
cates that this preliminary phase
i of the great batUes of 1943 la
near , its end. Moscow, reports
; that 752 nazi planes were
. knocted down last week and
: red army fliers are hammering

? ,It is difficult vto see how; the
' opening of the 1943 summer of
fensive can be much longer de
t layed. Most authorities believe
the attack will come within a
; few days and that Hitler will
. make it. " Already the ' season is
late for his. purpose. He began
i the big push of 1941 on June 22
and found that the weeks before
winter's coming were too few
for his main purpose, the cap

This year, his urgency is even

to divert the major portions of
his armies to : meet the blows

In spite of the propaganda
Emanating from Berlin suggest

may withhold their offensive In
the east, that to remain on the
defensive ; would ; be a sign of
. strength and not weakness, the
overwhelming consensus " of in

must attack Russia. He must, as

year, somewhere along 4he
Kharkov-Kursk sector some 300
: miles south of Moscow. The first
objective may be Voronezh, be
yond the pon. ;.:--'.:f---v.
That was the avenue followed
last June. .Voronezh was reached
after four weeks of eavy fight
ing . but in that sector the Ger
mans got no further and when
the tide turned last winter they
had to abandon that hinge -of
. .
their southern front; Joseph Sta
lin 'disclosed last autumn that
Moscow Itself was the main goal
ofs the enemy's 1942" drive. Ap-
parently it had been the inten
tion to wheel the main forces to
the north somewhere b e y o n d
Voronezh and drive upon Mos
cowfrom the south, and east ''
Eu this plan broke down, ap
parently because J Hitler . could
t not: be satTsfied with one object -
- ive but had to try at the same
1 "time to grab the oil of the Cau-
casus and win the prestige he
iioped would comefrom the cap
ture of Stalingrad, the city
named for his adversary. This
. year it is unlikely that the field
- marshals who have" taken -over
from Corporal Hitler will permit
'' any diversions from the primary
" goals, seizure of Moscow and de
struction ot the red trmy. ,
If there are to be diversions It
is Russia's western " allies who
must supply them. The allies
chief purpose for 1943 must be
to enable Russia to .withstand
the .terrible blows that will be
aimed at her. Thus it probably
will be found that any attacks
from the south or the west will
'be designed to serve. the double
' purpose of diverting some of the
218 divisions Hitler has arrayed
against the soviet union or open
ing or safeguarding the routes
by which planes, tanks and war
, supplies flow to the Russian ar-
mies. , . . , . '
This reasoning points . to the
Mediterranean and Norway as
logical theaters for the chief al
lied actions of the summer. - -

Chapter It eontlnaed
' . Look here," he said good
naturedly, "leave the Freunds
out of this. They're having a
hard enough time getting along
as it Is. Nobody's buying Great
Danes these days, and he hasn't
, done much winning with the
foreign competition I've brought
: Brenda laughed one of these
tinkling laughs that never quite
- come off. " '
"Ah, now I know why you
bought 1 an American bred dog!
You went soft hearted and
wanted to help them out 111
bed you paid a pretty price for
?. the creature." -
"Just the usuaL And it wasnt
a gesture. She's a flyer."
"Do tell me what you saw in
' her," Brenda coaxed.
"Weiy i Christopher began,
she's got everything: dark eyes,
splendid tuck-up, perfect hind
: quarters - if 9 a joy to see her
gait". As he spoke he remem
bered the picture of Rowdy and
Gretel lacing across the lawn at
Broadflelds, with Ann standing
- beside him watching. Ferver
crept Into his voice In spite of
liimselt "She beautiful," he
summed up simply.
"What's her name?
."Ann." It slipped out uncon-
sdously. He could have kicked
himself around the block. Pull
ing : Breoda's leg, he'd tripped
himself good and proper. .
Brenda laughed again, - this -time
with less tinkle. "Ann?
The dog's name." There were .
claws In her voice, "Or ?" She
let it hang In mid-air.
This, was the real Gestapo
touch. Christopher felt himself
become entangled in , a helpless
rage. Brenda was no longer his
, Jjeife, but she possessed some se
cret power , of vexing him; he
could cope with her only to a
certain point "Oh, cut it, Bren
da!" 'he implored. "I'm not in
love with Mrs. Freund If that's
what you're driving at"
Brenda'a eyes opened wide.
"Darling, I'm talking about the
-Ann." She repeated It reflec
tively. "A rather undistinguish
v ed name for show purposes. Or
arent you ' going to show her?
Just breeding, perhaps?" ; ; -
B o t h," s I d Christopher
briefly. "And her name's Gretel,
, in case you'd like to know."
"Oh, I thought you said 'Ann'."
Brenda smiled. "Sorry, my mis
take. You know, Chris," she di
gressed, "if you cared less about

talk about it, what's the sense of
raking up what's past and done
with?" - , ; .
"A lot of sense. Babies and a
house full of dogs with the up
holstery always full of hairs nd
slobber, could never really sat
Itfy you, Chris." .
"It's come1 near if .
"All right. Sweet, we won't

always be friends. There Isn't
anything I wouldn't do for you,
. Which reminds me" She pat
ted his hand. "You're so obvious,
darling, the way you're on pins
and needles to get awy, but itU
only take a minute. What about
the puppy sweepstakes?"
"Weu, what about them?, Yea,
I do have to get away. I'm late
for an appointment"
"In Connecticut?" -
"What do you wmt to know
about the sweepstakes?" he de
manded. "Stick to one thing,
cant you?" , :
"I am," she assured him,,
"Look, Sweet, dont think that
; because you were generous ..
enough to give me Crestview,
I'm going to be mean and ball
things up for you. What I mean
to say is, the show has been;
held t Crestview for so many
years; it would be silly to change
all the plans at this late date
just because you've bought an
other place."

Or the commission might hoist
its prices to hold its profits up,
assuming it ft not under OPA

some revenues, though hardly

; There remains the device of
issuing liquor certificates against
. anticipated receipts, which has
been used In the past There un
doubtedly would be a ready mar

i certificates, but the state treasur
er and banks would naturally
want to see a reasonably certain
payday on such paper, for which

workers so great, or employment

70's can make $3 to $10 a day,
as many of them are, and feel
they are contributing to the win- -.
ning of the war, there's no at
traction In going on the pension
rolls at a meagre 130 or $40 a
month. For .those who .are in
need and cannot work .larger
grants are necessary because of
higher living costs.
The situation emphasizes the
warning made by the federal so
cial security people some months
ago, that it was a mistake for .
, Oregon to depend on one source
exclusively for its welfare funds.
One correspondent to this col
umn from Corvallis suggests that
f liquor revenues be covered into
the general fund, and oppropria
tions for welfare be made from
the general fund. That would do
away-with gearing pensions for ,
grandpa on how much his son or
grandson ; drinks. The rela'tion
