A Costly War
TTRE rationing is here. Not for ev
erybody but for vehicles deemed
most essential to the public welfare
during the war emergency.
There are now no new tires for
privately operated vehicles, and its
quite likely there won't be any more
for the duration.
That's just one of the many re
ports from the nation's capital serv
ing as a harbinger of sacrifices to
come.
Sacrifices, with a capital "S," is
what the American people may ex
pect from now on in prosecuting the
war effort. President Roosevelt told
the world in his state of the union
address to congress Tuesday. He
said plans for prosecuting the war
effort this year will take more than
half the total national income; that
those for 1943 will call for still more
expenditures for ships, planes, guns
and the other essentials of war.
Luxuries are on the skids. There
must be more economizing, more
saving, more taxes and more pur
chasing of Defense bonds and
stamps.
It is not enough to merely equal
the war strength of the Axis, Am
erica must far outstrip them, said
the president. The democracies must
overwhelm the enemy with ships
and planes in order to bring the
early peace which the democracies
are determined to have and the
provisions of which will be of their
dictation. Not alone must we arm
ourselves and those now allied with
us, but arms must also be placed in
the hands of those people now held
subject by Axis powers against their
will, and who but await the oppor
tunity to drive off the oppressor.
In all he said the president sound
ed a harmonious note in the heart
of every American. There is no lack
of desire by everyone to do his part.
There must, however, be strength
ening of administrative forces to
prevent graft and waste. When the
people sacrifice they must know that
what they are giving up is strength
ening the arm of the boys in the
army, navy and marines; and there
must be caution lest in weakening
the production efforts of those be
hind the lines in the last ditches' of
home defense the base of the
war machine does not fall from
under its fighting piece. .
We have confidence in our lead
ership. We know that all parts of
the economic structure will be syn
chronlzed to work effectively in car
rying out the plan. It won't hurt so
much to give up the automobiles;
thev have cost the average man
more than he can well afford any
way, though there will be slacken
ing of the general transportation
tempo and a resultant delay in exe
cution of some necessary work,
What is needed now is for some
American productive genius to in
vent some new home entertainment
to keep up morale. Lots of folks
have tired of jig-saw puzzles.
