Shifts in Trade Balances 1 'While world trade is now government-con, trolled and directly related to necessities of the war, some very interesting things are hap pening which the public knows little about In the case of the' United States' and Great-Britain enormous quantities of goods are being pm chased from neutral or allied nations, while there is no corresponding outflow of goods. As a result these neutral or allied nations which still are free to trade with us are accumulating large balances in New York and London. In this country the increase is in deposits in fed eral reserve and other banks, amounting to over half a 'billion dollars since December of 1941; In addition there has been an increase in gold ; ear-marked lor foreign account, amounting to i about a billion and a quarter dollars. Our gold stocks have decreased by about three quarters of a billion. . " ' - : ! South American countries have profited by the export surplus to allied countries. Many of them have been buying up their dollar loans,; building up balances in our banks and taking; title if not delivery on gold. When the war is; over they can withdraw the gold or use their; credits in the'purchase of goods here. This is not at all alarming so far as American trade is concerned. We'have some 60 per cent of the world's gold supply, which is an undue " proportion. Much of it came here in flight from other currencies which were - weak because of unsettled ponucal and economic conditions ,Every country should have its own working; balance of gold as a basis for its currency sys tem and for settlement of trade balances with other countries. i The basis for sustained world trade is sound-! ness of the currency systems of participating! countries, particularly the great trading coun tries. That is obtained when budgets are kept in balance, when inflation is avoided, and gov-j ernment credit kept at a good leveL It is de-j stroyed under continued public deficits, covered! by increasing borrowings from central banks! i Our country should lead the way toward get ting its financial house in order as soon as pos- sible after the war, terminating the over-spend ing and encouraging. trade and enterprise. And we should assist other countries to do the same, not by generous extensions of credit but by policies which build up local and world confw : dence in their financial stability. I - Spending f or Guayule ; j ; -: j ' r . The federal government has spent $37,000,000 on a guayule,. rubber program and has only 400 tons of production to show for the expenditure, . according to Representative John Phillips- os. California, a member: of the house agricultural committee which is going to investigate the ex periment. One item to be looked into is an ap propriation of $750,000 for "housing facilities1 in localities adjacent to the guayule fields. j .After the Japs cut off rubber supplies from the far east there was a frantic scramble for ' substitutes. Guayule, dandelion and other plants were considered as sources of natural rubber;, and enormous sums were expended in develop-- - Ing rubber up the Amazon river, the native home of the tree. Evidently greater zeal in spending than intelligence was employed; and the waste looms as enormous. t The tragic feature of the domestic adminis tration in this war has been its extravagance. The training of the WPA days through the '30's made the government departments prodigal spenders. The people, eager to get on with the war, did not expect military leaders or pro duction authorities to count pennies; but they are disheartened and disillusioned at the signs of waste which loom on every hand. They have seen it nearly everywhere that the hand of government has touched; and read, about it in, such deals as the Canol oil project in Canada. When the audit is made, the people are going to be resentful of - the administration which Interpreting The War News By KIRKE L. SIMPSON i Copyright 1944 by (ho Associated Press The advent of spring is at hand in Europe and the war sap is rising on all fronts, east, south and west, to stamp it as the crisis season. i Within the scope of the spring 'and summer months ahead lies the answer to the fundamental Anglo-American ' war concept smash Hitler first, -then turn all-out against Japan. Full Russian con currence with that basic principal of strategy has been proven, even though' Russia's ultimate role against Japan as well as Germany cannot yet be certainly stated. ; . ' ; -'-v.' , . - ! . Moscow and Tokyo still are bound by their non aggression pact A year ago it was a. vital element In Russian policy, since nasi Invaders were In vesting Leningrad and still threatening Moscow. ! Twelve month have reversed the picture. It la Japan that now finds salvation in that dubious peace deal with Russia salvation from complete encirclement and from immediate close range air attack from bases in Siberia. i Even so, Japanese, Pacific defenses have been punctured fatally . by American forces. In Burma Nipponese hopes , of preventing allied rearming of China as a prime base for attack are withering. Events of the last weeks and months in the Asia tis war theater leave no doubt that the war tide has turned as definitely there as in Europe despite allied concentration on the hi t-19 tier-first slogan. ; They invite conjecture that behind recent com-" logs, and goings of American commanders in the Pacific theaters for Washington conferences lie preparation to speed up the war against Japan now. Fatal defects have been disclosed in enemy Pacific defense deployments. The increasing attri tion drain upon Nipponese sea and air power Is obvious. It can be done now without prejudice to the main campaign in Europe. ! - It is in Europe, however, that the key concep tion of Russian-allied military planning at Teheran is coming to fruition with the spring. Day by day the pattern of military and related political moves which was decided upon there is becoming clearer, soaring toward the climax of power blows against the common foe foretold in the Roosevelt-ChurchiS-Ctalin announcement' , - favor Sway$ Us: No Ftar ShaU Awe ! spent money so foolishly. War is wasteful, but our national government has surely:; put its spending apparatus in high gear,, as the guay ule experiment Relief in Sight ! Congress has finally waked up to the neces sity of cutting the income tax pain in two. It doesn't cut the tax, but It does cut the agony of the present system of reporting. According to Chairman Doughtbn of the house Sways and means committee 30 million of . the 50 million taxpayers will be relieved of the necessity of making out tax returns. They will not be re lieved of taxes, though, for .taxes will be with held from earnings, j ; ;: The victory tax will be abolished and a new set-up of normal and surtax rates prepared, with the exemption' cut to $500. Chairman Doughton says that "nobody will be hurt much or helped much" as far as the amount of then taxes goes; but they will be spared the com plications of the present tax structure and re port forms. j i " f : The consolidation of the victory tax with the normal tax is a practical means of simplifying the tax system, and when accompanied by low ered exemption and withholding at the source the collections ought hot to drop much; and af ter all the purpose of taxation is to get money for the government, j ; J ! ' ? The changes would not go into effect until next January and have still to be implemented in law; but the reporting curse is over for this year (except for the April 15th) so the prospect of relief next January will be most welcome. I Just to sweeten the public after announc ing a cut in the gas ration is OPA's statement that the sugar ration Will not be cut.

Repro duction la whole or In part strictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, March 18 The progressive educators are trying to turn off the evidence of what they have done to American youth evidence iv,.t.ujmnmmmm uj ui. jmi " Oil! Hill J Paui Manoa shows. Kt 1 on the front pages of the news papers daily in juvenile delin quency developments 4- as the inaccurate criticism ; of an ig norant columnist S They are writing letters to the; papers along that line, is suing interviews to some teach ers' publications. H j : ! - Contrariwise, teachers in a large number of schools have f IMIIIJ U1UU1UWV.KCU 111 Vf- umns to tneir bulletin boards with underscorings and "amens" mysteriously pen cilled in. Teachers and PTA magazines have been reprinting the columns; School boards are writing in for more and back copies. Educators! are re-' questing them by the; hundreds for distribution (requests I cannot fulfill). And the mail from: college professors, princi pals, schoolboardsmen ' and teachers has piled . In daily for the past month with detailed examples of the sorry condition of American education, saying much worse things about it than I have related. All I said was we are raising a nation of half wits. The evidence indicated I over-estimated the fraction by possibly 50 per cent ' J ' ; Now here is a disclosed struggle between edu cators of which the public is not generally aware. On top In many towns apparently are the Colum- ... bia Teachers College groups preaching their "take it easy, children" methods, "don't work too hard," "we will make education interesting for you." ! 1 On the other hand, are the great bulk of the teach- L ers of the country, sick at heart at the results of this lax system, disillusioned, frightened at the big education trust hanging over them. They write: : "Do not use my name." i i They send me clippings showing what the big trust is saying about me, and add such notes as: "This so-called educator is a political hack foist ed of f on us by the lolal political machine." f What to do? Tor the first thing, let everyone know that the campaign of the progressive educators is ; false. - i ;. - . ' . - - Criticism of the educational system was not con cocted by "a columnist' It existed, and a columnist discovered it for the general public, not for those of the teaching profession who have long partici pated in the struggle to correct the laxities which have put pupils beyond their reach with either learning or discipline I This j sidetracking of the issue Is a common political trick. The "ins always attempt to hold their jobs by pretending all is well, that anyone who dares sug gest otherwise is unworthy of notice.! f ; 5 In this case it cannot deceive anyone.! The fact , that there has been a breakdown in our standards of education and in discipline generally Is too ob , vkxis to all parents. ' O .;:; - ;;M'; ?:: If the progressives attempt to maintain them selves by this method, they eventually must lose their skins. A wiser technique for them would be : to say: . ,"Lefs look into the problem; let's see what cor rections can be made.'! -j In the second place, I shall write one more col umn containing more evidence of the breakdown in educational standards evidence obtained only from educators.. It wfll be published immediately after the present one. j 'v-.Wv -;t:!; j '. " But what else? I think there should be a con gressional investigation of the situation. A com . plete job being too vast for a columnar undertak ing (my primary interest Is juvenile delinquency 'of which education is only one phase), it must be done by authorities empowered to drive the Gid eon planishes out of teaching leadership. The danger of a congressional investigation is that it, too, would be political. Perhaps a moderate such as Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, president of Chi cago university, might bring the necessary impetus to bear to break the trust Perhaps educational in vestigating boards in the states and cities or the " PTAs could accomplish something.4 ' . " -; . . Possibly a presidential commission, working as i the Wickersham ; cornmission did on prohibition, , might furnish the Wckky stick. . . . Whatever is needed 'to break the "political edu cational racket of laxity must be done, and done by educators themselves. A movement along that line would be popular.
