eyes of the people is sound. It is
comforting to note that the Congress
is disposed to favor this policy in re­
turning to the states many of the
public functions appropriated by
Washington during the past decade.
Practically all of the states have
sufficient funds to withstand the
heavy drain of post-war unemploy­
ment payments. Oregon is among the
leaders in this regard and should
have no great difficulty in meeting
committments even with a reason­
able increase in benefits. But none
of the states can withstand thq
strain that would have been im­
posed by the passage of the overly
generous bill supported by the Ad­
ministration. It would have meant
an increase in the federal tax load at
a time when returning veterans
would be the chief- sufferers. The

“It’a true of lots of things in this war,
Eben. Every day we hear of new tactics and
requirements and new uses of products. For
instance, take the alcohol that is used for
war purposes. In World War 1, this vitally
needed product was used mostly in making
smokeless powder, chemiafl warfare materia
als and medial supplies. Today it must do
far more... It must provide the base for such
indispensable products as synthetic rubber,
shatterproof glass, lacquers, plastics and
many other pf our requirements so essential
to victory,
' As a result hundreds of millions of gal­
lons are required every year... half of which
is being produced by the beverage distilling
tindustry. Bet you didn’t know that, Eben.'
