It marks, however, a definite end of an era of confusion. The sands of all dictators are now running out. Whether governments of Fascists, Nazis, Revolutionists, So cialists or New Dealers, or city dic tators; —their ends are In sight. We shall return to Religion and Democ racy. We also face a return to ''Re l i e f ; —not to New Deal relief, but to reilef coming from one more demon stration that what is fudamentaly right will prevail. We, however, do face new economic problems that will arise In connection with postwar events. The H u m s of Recovery To date, the rise In the cost of liv ing has been kept within reasonable limits. The National Debt has risen to astronomical heights; but it is bein g adequately serviced. Meney In circulation per capita is the high est in our history. Consumer goods inventories are holding up pretty well; and we should now see more, rather than less, such goods. For the time being, however, there is relatively less for which the average wage worker can spend his money. Hence. Secretary Morgenthau's con tinued efforts to switch the bulk of War Bonds buying from bnnks to the individual,—from the cities to tho tovyns. Any high degree of infla tion is likely to come after the War, rather than now. It thus becomes essential that ev erything possible be done to prevent a postwar scarcity of goods and re sulting uncontrollable prices. This should be the basis of our postwar recovery plan. Russia, North Afri ca, I,atin America, Denmark, Norway and Holland may p rovtde a good deal of food. It becomes more ap parent, however, that we shall have to feed, as well as help clothe, sev eral hundred million people outside of our own. beginning with North Africa, Sicily and Italy For two or three years, we may be obliged to Continued on Page 3 Record Entries Being made For Multnomah County Fair Gresham, Aug. 13—In pointing out the closing dates for the various d ‘>- partments of the 37th annual Mult nomah county fair, Manager A. ii.
