Victory A FTER many weeks of unrelieved gloom in the war " reports, the skies appear to have cleared sudden ly and in all directions. After silence and reportorial shadow-boxing in a monotonous fashion for nearly ten days, the US Navy finally claims a victory in the Solomons, and the claim appears to be well founded. The cost is not given, but the best Japanese harbor in the islands and the best air base have been taken and all Japanese efforts to retake them have failed. ..... IT WOULD probably be an exaggeration to term the Tulagi victory one of the decisive battles of the present war. But it is an extremely important one. For it removes all doubt that when the United States starts out seriously to gain an objective in the Japanese - held island area they can do so. What they have accomplished in the Solomons, they certainly, in theory at least, can accomplish else where. EXPENDITURE in time and personnel no doubt will have to be considerable, but here, as we see it, is the hand writing on the wall. The capture of these strategic bases in the Solo mons, demonstrates that in any even contest, where Japan no longer has the tremendous advantage gained by "jumping the gun", the allied forces headed by the United States, have a punch too quick and too strong for neurotic Nippon. It took a long time for the worm to turn, but turn it has, at last! War Skies Clearing MOT ONLY are the war skies brightening in the 41 Far East, but everything the other side of the world looks better, even in Russia. American bombers are attacking Germany proper and the Axis force in Egypt with telling effect, sus taining their remarkable reputation in China of losing few ships and bringing down many. And the Yank airmen, London discloses, eat it up, returning to their bases full 'OR the first time in many weeks, the Red army has staged a counterattack in the Stalingrad area which promises to amount to something beside claims o Nazi slaughter territory held by the Germans has actually been recaptured, Moscow claims. Ihere are similar .soviet Leningrad and while in the Caucasus it would still be incorrect to say the German offensive has been stopped, it has definitely been slowed down. Allied successes on land are further confirmed by the reports of the German High command, acknowl edging heavy defense fighting in the north, and con centrating on U-Boat successes at sea a large pro portion of the latter being allies but neutral countries . . . SO, ALL in all, the war scene looks materially better rrir rioa few a irnw? 1am rt It is still a long and rocky road to Dublin. But at least the United Nations have at long last, started to make real progress and in The Juke Box Problem JUKE BOXES and recorded broadcasts have cre- ated some real poblems for American musicians, but no solution is likely to be found until the players are represented by someone other than James Caesar I'etrillo. It is unquestionably true several forms has cut down the number of jobs open to professional musicians and has lowered individual earnings. Some way should be found to distribute royalties so that orchestra members get more for rec ords which make money for their owners than they get for those which merely entertain a household. F Jt this will not be done by barring members of the musicians' union from mak ing new recordings. The most immediate effect, as Elmer Davis has printed out, will be to cripple hundreds of small radio st'tions throughout the country which are valuable t j the nation as disseminators of news but which sur vive economically through the use of recorded music on sustaining programs. We could probably get along without juke boxes, but the fact is that they do afford amusement to a e.reat many people who have few other ways of get ting it, and in only a few places where they now per form ould the management afford to replace them vl h even one tinny piano. What the musicians face is a difficult technological problem similar to those that have been faced by workers in many other industries. It will be solved partly by intelligent collective bargaining, partly by painful readjustment. Mr. Petrillo understands neither of these processes r nd until the musicians shelve this frock-coated sym bol of labor racketeering, the public will not be lavish with its sympathy. The Nation.

CHILD Sometimes misguided parents! parents who have had courses In the new phychology of child training try to account for tha failure of t hair strange psychology in practice by as suming that the unhappy victim of it Is "headstrong"or "unusual" or "hlghstrung"or "very n s i tive," so that Dr. Brady the method which do well enough for ordi nary kids cannot be applied to their undisciplined freak or flattering words to that effect. This sort of parental defeatism, as well as the evil effect of the wishy-washy training, probably brings upon many a youngster the stigma of being a "problem child" or of being "delinquent" when, with a fair show in the ' -ay of old-faahioned home dis cipline the youngster would get along all right. In laying this I am not un mindful of the fact that, regard less of training, a certain pro portion of children in families rich or poor, illiterate, fairly ed ucated or well educated, are born deficient, morons, psycho paths, neurotics and that these children are likely to become "problem" children or deliquent or moral offenders or criminals if not confined in Institutions or otherwise kept under rigid con trol. Indeed, I do not know whether this child whose behavior is de scribed by the correspondent is a mental defective but the child' behavior, so far as moth er describes it, is merely that of the average normal youngster who has not the advantage of good home training, I should say. A serious fault of the new psychology of child training, as I see it and probably any col lege sophomore can see clearly that I am woefully ignorant of such matters is that it presup poses that the Infant or young child is a reasoning and reason able being. In fact a child less than four or five years of age is only a little animal, a cub, if you please. It is absurd, and in effect rather cruel, to deal with a child of that age as though he or she were intelli gent enough to understand why things' must be thus and so. In a scrapbook or old-fashion ed file I started about the time I began the study of medicine (in the office of my preceptor News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued from Pag On.) have found they must go deeper into the norma' business profits in the new bill. Confiscation of excess war profits wlU not fur nish enough revenue. The House committee had to dare to tax more from those re duced dividends you see on the market page today. The basis of our capitalistic democracy, the one we are fight ing for, is profits. A profits sys tem cannot be run successfully without them. If this wera a temporary mat ter of sliding through a war period without them, it might possibly be done. But as the government is faced with the necessity of continuing this same level of taxes after the war, there can be no doubt that our national figure, as well as our current war-production effort, is wrapped up In this tax ques tion. ... EVERYONE knows there is a point at which taxation be comes nationally suicidal, and everyone (liberal and business man) can agree where that point is the point at which bus'"ess production ceases to be profit able. When that point Is passed, la bor can get no wage Increases, the opportunity for work must shrink and th system of pro duction bends and breaks. The senate committee hearings have shown that point was not only reached but passed In the House bill in many corporate instances. Business men have come to the senate, with their books for the first time in tax bill history. Certain examples were recent ly rhown In this column, to which one more recent illustra tion may be added. One of the last to testify wa the t'custa Paper corporation, of Pifgah Forest. N. C. Its earnings statement showed th Hons bill would force It to double th price of its product if Brady. M. P. TRAINING before I entered medical school) there is a paragraph I dipped from soma forgotten paper or r-Jgazine, reading: "Practice self immolation in bringing up your children." The idea made such a deep Impression on me, years before I had any emiaren, that i carefully clipped and pre served it. My own parents cer tainly practiced self-immolation, self-sacrifice, in bringing up their children, to a greater de gree, I think, than any other parents of similar economic sta tus in our community. Self im molation, yes, but a child can hardly understand o appreciate the sacrifices parents make for him. until the child is at least eight years old. Younger chil dren are Just little animals, ac cepting whatever they may get from or through the self-denial of their parents as only natural. But good parents, good oia fashioned parents, may make all the sacrifice in the world 'or their children, nay, perhaps more than many good parents would deem right, yet never re lax the disciplinary control which, in the long run, main tains the child's reverence and respect for his parents.

(cigarette paper) next year In order to break even and it the fiscal year provision of the House bill is maintained, it would have to quadruple Its price to meet taxes for the final quarter. Its profits, before taxes, would be $5,943,738 for this year un der the House bill, of which the state and federal governments would take all but $729,711.43, leaving an insufficient amount to meet its annual debt interest Of $1,179,000. ... MANY of these dangerous de " fects in the House bill will be eliminated by the senate committee. The withholding tax no doubt will be revised. Cred it for debt and interest will be adopted. Some features of the Ruml plan to pay as you go (not all or much of it) will be written into the bill. A deferred maintenance credit will be allowed for industries like the railroads, burning up their machines faster In war ac tivities tha.i the depreciation al lowances recognire. Inventory adjustments may be permitted. Possibly even the 45 per cent normal or 90 per cent excess profits tax may be shaved slight ly (5 or 10 per cent). Even so, the new unrecognized problem of taxation will remain the same. The ceiling on cor poration taxes and on whatever rich are left (look around you In your home town and see how many of the rich homes of 20 years ago are now boarding houses) has been reached. The only place, then, where the government can get more money, is from the union work er, the low salaried man, the "poor". If you will. The time therefore has come for a complete revision of politi cal views, from both liberals and government, on this subject. It is no longer truly liberal or pro gressive to advocate further ex pansion of the taxing methods of former years to th point of destruction. That course, while professing to be liberal, is really reaction ary, destructive, revolutionary. Congress and it statesmen and politicians, will have to face the bitterly unwelcome and un popular new facts of taxation facts which It can already sea. but which its procrastination on th present bill, shows it i not eager to meet. Kelly's Comment rrosa Washington. D. C. Food Cost Jumps After Election Gold Production Due For Closure What's Happening To Pribilof f Seals s Br Joha W. KattT Washington, D. C. Aug. 18. Sometime after the November election and possibly before the end of the year housewives will find the cost of living substanti ally higher than at present, De spite the ceilings of office of price control. On presumably excellent authority the predic tion is made that the people will find that meat is being rationed, although the department of agriculture has asserted that there are more cattle on farm and range today than ever be iore. The maximum price prevail ing last March, and which is the present ceiling in grocery stores. is playing hood witn grocers throughout the land. March re tail selling was based on the 1941 stock. As shelves were de pleted and efforts were made to obtain replacements the grocers discovered that they could not buy at the 1941 price and if they made replacements at current rates they would be out of pocket. This situation had been sensed by OPA and an attempt was made to have congress provide an appropriation by means of which a subsidy could be paid to protect the seller from loss and to maintain March prices for the protection of consumers Congress could not see eye to eye with Leon Henderson and took a position against guaran teeing food dispensers from loss. Mr. Henderson permitted, then, a few punctures in tha price ceiung which made the several commodities (Jams, jellies, etc.) jump a few cents, an increase which the housewife had to ab sorb. As retailers refuse to restock and sell at a loss (the March prices) office of price adminis tration will soon authorize more, holes to be kicked in the ceil ings and the cost of food will be upped between one and two per cent. This is the very situation that Henderson hoped to pre vent. It so happens that most of the vegetable and fruit prod ucts of the Pacific northwest will be on tho new celling list. Whether Henderson can hold the ceilings at the new prices (to be announced in a matter of weeks) Is a subject of specula tion, but it all goes back to the original criticism of price con trol, that there can be no suc cessful control of prices until there is control of wages. Against control of wages the ad ministration Is firmly set. Food items exempt from ceil ings are soaring. Eggs are at an all-time high; butter is out to establish a new record. Each of these commodities are being shipped over sea, the eggs being dried to save cargo space. Chickens are up. The value of the dollar is sinking, a certain sign of inflation. . . a LOOK for gold mine opera tions in the northwest to be sus pended on orders of war pro duction board, and look for miners to be transferred from the anthracite region of Penn slyvania to the coal mines of Washington and Oregon. WPB has been turning the screws on gold mining by refusing ex plosives and other essentials. Of all the metals gold is today the least necessary, while cop per ranks near the top. Gen. Brehon Somervell has suggested to WPB that gold mines be re quisitioned for copper produc tion. Whether this would stop the gold mining dredges of Washington and Oregon is un certain, for the dredges are prac tically automatic, have only a handful of men on a dredge and there is no drilling or blasting with this equipment. The de mand for copper Is so urgent that the sending of gold miners to work in copper mines is now under consideration by the war manpower commission, V. S. em ployment service and WPB. Oil administration, after warn ing people of the northwest to arrange their heating plants for coal instead of fuel oil. is send ing Brig Gen. B. P. Disque to that section and he will be the j boss of the fuel program. Coal ura in ine area 19 minra in Washington. Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. The industry Is short on labor; there is a surplus of miners in Pennsylvania. War manpower commission has long discussed the sending of work ers from areas where they are not needed to regions where there is a shortage. . riSH and wildlife service Is wondering what is happening to the seal herd on Pribiloff is lands, north of Kiska. The na tives were evacuated several months ago by the service, be fore the annual "take' of seal skins. It is believed possible that the Japanese have been raiding the islands where, it Is calculated, the herd this year wa ona muiic-a seals. Tha seals began assembling at the breeding ground about the time that Nip were entrenching themselves in the Aleutians. The migration from the islands starts in August. Japanese have long had an eye on the seal herds and prior to the compact with the United States and Canada caught all they could. Under the com pact th herd was built up to it present size. Japapese need the furs for clothing in their northern enterprise and the fat are even more important to them. The War Today Br By Dewltt MacKensia Special Writer rThla rlailv feature, conducted by Dewltt Mackenzie, wide world war analyst, is written in his absence today, by Glenn Babb.) For Russia this Is still a one front war. She wants a second front, but she wants it in the right place. The Churchill-Stalin conference at Moscow, while reaffirming the alliance of three great powers whose lands gir dle the globe and whose forces tioM th nemv An .11 tha seas and all but one of the two con tinents, emphasized once more tk ctwUf union's anvtetv to confine her share in the war to one front until her Allies can marshal the power and choose the time and place for the second. Japan was not mentioned by name in the communique which announced the results of the Moscow conclave. But the care taken, obviously at the Insis tence of Joseph Stalin, to ex elude Japan from the announced scope of the decisions showed oToarlv that the threat of Hir- ohlto's army in Manchuria was never far from tne minas or ine conferees even as they grappled with tha deadly urvent nroblems of stopping Adolf Hitler. Tor the second lime m ten weeks the leaders of the United Nations have made this pointed exception Yesterday's announ cement declared again that the agreements concluded early In Tuna wera aaainst "Hitlerite Germanv and her associates in Europe. The United States and Brit ln much as thev mar hooe to ;ee eastern Siberia ultimately available as base of operations against Japan, are compelled to accept their ally's single-front stand with sympathy and under standing. One of the great dan gers confronting the United Nations is that the much-debat-front will be opened by Japan before America and Britain are ready to striKe, tnat. is will come at the eastern ex tremltv .if the areat eurasian land mass Instead of the west ern. Tertalnlv this is no time for Russia to rhallenge the Mikado's Kwantung army, which reports from many quarters aescriDe as omwinf eteadilv in numbers and striking power, ranged along the Amur and Ussurl rivers, ready to thrust deep into Si beria in the fine autumn weather that begins in a week or two in Northeastern Asia. Russian-Japanese relations are refulated, according to repeated official statements, by the neutrality treaty the two powers lgned at Easter 1941, In Mos Althnueh Jaoan has been at war for nearly nine months against two principal allies, nus sla insists on holding with rigid correctness to the letter of her engagement Does the Kremlin really believe that Japan will honor her pledge a day longer than it fit her purposes? Is Stalin trying merely to avoid givng the provocation that might be all that the eager Kwantung army would need to send it gainst Vladivostok? What Russia hopes for or ex pects from Japan remains one it this war's great mysteries. Obviously, however, that Is not th tlma from Russia's or her allies' points of view to com plete the glooai nature 01 me war by turning Siberia and Man churia into a battleground. That may come later .when the Germans phase of the war gives way to tha Japanese. All signs now point to this conflict assuming that we win it be ing a two-chapter afalr. with the decision In the orient post poned until Hitler Is disposed .,f rina of the most convincing of such signs is that phrase in vesterday s communique nu lerite Germany and her associ ates in Europe " Communications NO MORE CANNED MUSIC? To tha editor. In the Pathfinder issue of August IS under caption of "No More Canned Music" is the news that the Musicians union of 138, 000 members, headed by James C. Petrillo, refuse to make any more records or transcriptions. That is certainly glad news for the multitude of poor musicians in this country, tens of thousands of whom have been ruined by this so-called canned music. Elmer Davis, head of the Of fice of War Information, mad a personal appeal to Petrillo on behalf of the people of the United States. Tha following ia aa extract from the article: "It was charged that Petrillo order would put many small radio stations out of business, especially in small towns where there is no musical talent for hire. It would hurt restaurants, hotels and small dance halls. It would affect ad vertising agencies." All the above charges are bosh. People who talk like that just don't know the public; nor have they any idea of the flow of musical talent In every small town of say 10,000 or more that is hidden away, lost in decay. for the lack of opportunities for playing in public. In the article Petrillo stated "that the half million juke boxes had thrown 8.000 musi cians out of work and that 900 radio stations do not employ a single live musician." Now, here is the point, would the public, who listen to these 500 radio stations, rather hear some local talent, of which wa claim there is a plentiful supply available, and that at very low rates, or would the public rather hear phonograph records? Who does all this canned music benefit? Certainly not the public. Forty years ago all theatres had their paid orches tras and musicians, and we can vouch for the fact that the music was good and more to the public taste than the stuff wailed out of machines at the talkies now adays. In this particular line tens of thousands of musicians lost their means of making a modest living. Then, who has been benefit ted? Mostly movie directors and actors and actresses and monopoly chain theatre pro prietors. In the old days actors and vaudeville performers aver aged about $200 per month for the best and there was no such an animal as a movie director. Nowadays star actors and act resses get $10,000 to $20,000 per month and the directors not much less. The phonograph for the home Is almost out of date, but most homes have radios. Let the radio stations give the local talent a chance. (Signed) Fred Alton Halght, Sydney S. Barker, Orio Blanchi, Secretary of local 591, I American Federation of Musicians.
