How convenient is it out at Camp White, rain,

people will care to hunt for the "other side of this
war-profiteering question. But there is one.

MR. Horace Ward, for example, ciescriDea as a

BUT the other side of the question is this:
Such a law was asked by the American Legion,
before this war started and many times since, but
the people, or at any rate their representatives in
congress, turned it down cold. And for that matter
so did the President of the United States and his
"kitchen cabinet". .
Why? Because it was deemed impractical. Con
scripting property and profits as well as men, was a
swell idea in theory but it just wouldn't work.
cn.o.o
Smart "go-getters" like this Mr. Ward saw an
opportunity and took advantage of it.
With the war on and everything sacrificed to the
winning of it, Mr. Ward visited a certain manufactur
ing executive in the Middlewest and said he had a
ten million dollars contract in his pocKet, lor airpiane
parts, involving a cool million dollar profit. All he
asked was a one percent commission on the gross,
and the deal was closed.
rID the executive want it? Don't be silly. How
many business executives would not want a mil
lion dollar profit, at a one percent discount for cash?
So Mr. C. E. got his ten
for cash and Mr. Ward got
work.
Pretty soft? Yes, but what's wrong with it, as long
as we iive under a profit system, and must win a
war under it?
We can't have our cake and eat it too. We can't
REFUSE to do away with the profit system in time
of war, and then complain because having adopted
it, it works!
That is the "other side" of the profiteering ques
tion, but not many people, we fear, are particularly
interested in it!

it is in belly breathing. The dia

ON the other hand and In the '
other corner. Mr. Henderson j
is mad as a hornet. He is par-i
ticularly angry at Wickard for;
having written him the recent I
letter forcing him to boost the '
prices on dried and canned
fruits, which he had set to re-
fleet less thsn 110 per cent par-;
ity. He held an off-the-record

press conference to vent his ang
er, some of the words he used
were hotter than the American
airmen customarily employ when
they go into a dive on a Jap ship.
All this back and forth news
desolves down into the issue of
whether the administration's
price program will be allowed to
stand. There is some Justice in
the arguments on both sides.
The farmers' goal for years
has been 100 per cent parity, and
now that the war has brought
it in sight, the farm bloc seems
greedy to seeking the 110 per
cent. Yet the average farm in
come is much less than the na
tion's average. Farm labor costs
are pratically doubled and a
shortage exists. '
Furthermore, the administra
tion has let labor break through
its economic ceiling in some few
lines and is supposed to be about
to increase the whole labor scale
in the "little steel" test case,
e e
OUT as far as justice to all the
people is concerned, it is ob
vious that a breakdown of the
Henderson effort at this early
date would hoist the nation into
dangerous inflationary realm.
Prices would be forced up nor
mally by either farm or labor
concessions and start a destruc
tion of values, the end of which
no one can perceive.
Only one decision is possible
for Mr. Roosevelt if he wants to
protect the interests of all. He
must stop both the farm and la
bor blocs.

We have received that call and
we know it must be accomplish

have been called on to list their

housing the army men and their
families. We thank these people
who have done so and we ask
the others who are about to do
so not to hesitate we need
your help now.
These men have given up
lives of normal living that many
of us still enjoy, to fight a com

An Author Complains
To the editor.
Thanks very much for your
Interest In my plan. However, I
do not think that you have
studied it enough to fully under
stand it. By your description
of it, you have made it smell
too strongly of dictatorship.
You said, "A dictatorship set up
by all the nations and governed
by an equal staff of all the na
tions." Which should have said
to give my article justice, "An
equal dictatorship by. all na
tions, on complete democratic
principles, to keep the peace
of the world."
My idea is that you have un
wittingly made this misrepre
sentation or that you ara using
this misrepresentation to slam
my article. I would also suggest
that in your headline, the word
"drafted" should hava been
"formulated". Drafted smells
too strongly of dictatorship. I
hope you will correct this by
retraction or rectifying it by a
reprint.
In regards to ma being dis
couraged I was, that my first
plan did not do what it was
meant to do.
But the world was not ripe
for such a change at that time,
but I consider that it is now, or
more nearly so. Time has pass
ed, but I still have great hopes
for our world of peace based on
this plan.
