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. We'll need
sugar's extra energy jfor the greater amount of
walking we will have to dp. ,

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. It U time ta start v-i ' a

"we will have to remember

les Kids JTlio Fight This War,
Correspondent Finds at Front
by KENNETH L. DIXON
WITH THE AST IN SARDINIA, March 12.-(Delayed)-(ff-Every
time you turn around you're confronted anew witbthe
realization, that it's the kids who fight the war. '
- This B28 Marauder outfit in Sardinia is no exception. Sitting
around the supper table after the day's missions are over, the pi
lots, co-pilots and bombardiers look like a bunch of college kids
so young they take a terrific pride
In the daily progress of their faint,
wispy. mustaches.
Some even look more like high
school kide First Lt Boscoe New
mer of Evansvfile, Inct, is a good
example. ; He's a first puot, vet
eran of more than 40 combat mis
sions, and - has had more close
calls than you can shake a Mae
West at 'rjh;
But they call him "Junior, and
with good reason. He's only 19
years old, a tall clean-cut, skinny
kid with tousled brown hair and
a dimpled chinbut a pair of eyes
which coldly belie anything baby
ish about the rest of his face.
, - He has a . fantastic record. His
buddies, who sometimes also call
him "glamor boy" to his face, then
pehind his back tell you he's one
of the hottest pilots they've ever
seen; tell how he slipped away
from Indiana before we were in
the war and joined the Royal Ca
nadian air fore with faked 'birth
credentials when barely 17. ,
When the US entered the war,
Junior transferred and finished
his training with Uncle Sam, earn
ing a reputation S5 an excellent if
somewhat reckless pilot
Overseas, Junior has been
through the works. Not long ago
he was so badly shot up over a
target that he l had his gunners
throw out their guns, ammunition
and flak suits in an effort to hold
his altitude long enough to get
back over friendly territory.
His propellors were damaged
and his controls shot up. Enemy
fighters closed in on the crippled

Mary Carolyn Davies has a
little verse which goes:
"We've heard of no rules, the
flowers and I, - '
But born of dust, not know

We lift our faces to the sky."
There's a great experience ex
pressed In those few linee Some
how, somewhere, sometime, all
of us have felt the tug of the
Infinite on our lives. In the
midst of the glorious grandeur
of the , forest, looking out over
te sea at sunset 4 the presence
of some truly noble character,
or looking at the Cross in an hour
of divine meditation, we have
felt the pull of the Invisible,
the. magnetism of the Divine.
Yes, there is a Divine attrac

plane when it dropped out. of for
mation. His flight leader, Lt James
H. Evans, Frostburg, McL, dropped
out of formation to cover him.
; rinally, after diving 3000 feet
through clouds, landing with flaps
up t 170 miles an hour with one
wheel collapsed, and skidding to
a stop on a wingtip, Junior hunt
ed up Evans and gave him hell for
breaking out' of formation to come
to his rescue. - : . -
"Listen chum,,, the 19-year-old
told the 25-year-old, "Another
guy got shot down Just the other
day for trying what you did."
A few days later Junior brought
another Marauder back with half
the tail gone. He was unable to
level out for the landing with the
controls out so he used an old
trick--gunned the motors and
managed' to pull the nose up that
way just in time. Again he landed
at 175 because to have slowed
down would have plunged the
nose into the runway.
When engineers looked at the
plane they said it couldn't fly and
would be impossible to land. When '
Junior saw the tail "I nearly
fainted." . , !
Sprague Files
For US Senate
' j. .v-f " ; ., :;
Charles A. Sprague, Salem
newspaper publisher and former
governor of Oregon, Saturday fil
ed in the state department here
for the republican nomination for'
the office of United States sena-.
tor, for the unexpired term of
Charles L. McNary, starting fbl
lowing the November election this
year and ending on January 3,
1949. J
Sprague's platform: v
"I favor vigorous prosecution
of the war; full cooperation with
other nations to prevent future
war; early planning for transition
to peace and return of military
forces to civilian life.
"I oppose centralization of pow
er in Washington and favor early
restoration of local liberties and
responsibilities. Sound policies1 in
public finance and full resump
tion of private business are need
ed to sustain the economic econ
omy. "I would work to preserve and
extend thVygains of Oregon' in
dustry and ti protect farmers and '
workers from the backwash of
war. '
"Make peace a signal for fresh
progress for Oregon and the na
tion." ... .
His slogan:
"Former , governor. Win the
war. Save the peace. End new
deal regimentation."
