Why Bill Scratched"
W. L. White, famous son of a famous father, re
turned to Emporia, Kansas,
in time to vote.
In the Emporia Gazette
something his father the late William Allen White,
never did. Young Bill would vote for a Democrat,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for President!
He wasn t very proud of
umn of explanation largely in praise of Governor
Dewey, and his conduct in the campaign. But he end
ed by declaring that in spite of his high' regard for
the Governor of Mew York he had decided to vote
for Roosevelt for one reason, and one reason ONLY.
THAT one reason was "Russia."

A KITT'llI,

NEVER supported a Democrat is so interesting.
coming from a young man
and first hand knowledge of Europe and especially
Stalin and Russia, that we reprint the closing por
tion as follows:
' Stalin really trusts no one. But he has come to believe
that Roosevelt is not hostile to him, and that any European
system which Roosevelt has a hand in organizing will not .
be directed against Russia. To the extent that he believes
this, Stalin is willing to consent to a truly free Europe. To
the extent that he doubts It, he will Insist on strengthen
ing and extending his present system of Communist-controlled
puppet governments on Russia's borders.
If the president is reelected, I think we will arrive at
some kind of friendly compromise with Stalin over
European governments and boundaries. Like all compro
mises, it won't get us all we hope for. Many of Mr. Dewey's
supporters feel that the president has not been firm enough
with the Russians; possibly Mr. Dewey shares their views.
If he does and Is elected, he will quickly find that he is no
longer district attorney, and that Marshal Stalin will not
be in the least frightened when he pounds the desk and
flashes his eyes.
Of course Mr. Dewey, by refusing all compromise, might
temporarily win much applause in this country. But this
might bring either an Immediate war which I believe can .
be avoided, or else Mr. Dewey would be forced back into
the isolationist position of some of his early supporters;
retiring in disgust and withdrawing from Europe all our
armies and economic support leaving responsibility for
bringing order out of chaos squarely on Stalin's red army
generals and his political commissars. This they would
quickly accept. I doubt that even such staunch isolationists
as Colonel McCormick and Mr. Hearst would be entirely .
pleased with the result.
No one should doubt Mr. Dewey's sincerity when he
endorses In principle the Roosevelt foreign policy. But
can he execute It?
It is one thing to endorse, from the bleachers, the tennis
principles of Big Bill Tilden. It is quite another to step out
on tho court with a racket in your hand and play as smooth
and fast a game as the champ.
And for this sole reason I shall next Tuesday vote to
. give the President a fourth term, W. L. W.

Another interesting feature of the Bill White re
marks is the confirmation it gives to the frequent
claim in this department that, but for the war, Presi

feated.

Had not foreign affairs been an Important issue both In
1940 and 1044. Mr. Roosevelt would both times have been
snowed unds-r at the polls. This means, that even should
our votes today elect him, he will have no mandate in the
domestic affnirs of this nation.
In this field the country has clearly been long ripe for a
change. It wants private business to get the green light in
the postwar period In the big task of putting the returned

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Nov. 22 Mr.
Roosevelt and the labor leaders
are hardly acting out the roles
naturally ex
pected from
their campaign
victory.
In one col
umn on ' the
front pages
yesterday was
the 'announce
ment of Eco
nomic Stabiliz
er Vinson that
the President
Paul Halloa would turn
' down a general
wage Increase before the defeat,-!
ui uermany, ouering nigner
wages afterward.
- Next to it was CIO President
Phil Murray's equally surprising
and reasonable extension of an
olive branch to industry, prom
ising continuance of the no
strike pledge until that same
date and offering cooperation
with management thereafter.
But even less anticipated gen
erally was the simultaneous ap
peal from the AFL asking the
CIO for labor unity.
e e e
fHERE are good reasons for
these strange turn of events.
The President himself is behind
them all. While labor generally
may have expected a payoff in
a wage increase immediately
after the election, Mr. Roosevelt
Is supposed to have summoned
Messrs. Murray, Green and oth
ers and laid down the law for
restrained and reasonable non
political developments of the sit
uation. Of course, there is consider
able room for doubt as to how
thoroughly this new plan of co
operation instead of fighting will
be carried forward. Some strikes
were on at the time the Presi
dent acted, and more will follow.
An extension of them i" not im
probable. While they are being attri
buted to rather minor individual
complaints by many local un
ions, they may represent a com
mon determination to resist the
government's new hold-the-line
policy.
yHE Ohio telephone strike, for
instance, was attributed to
complaints that o u t-of-t own
workers were allowed extra
transportation pay back and
forth, which seemed like an ex
treme method of correcting a
minor abuse, Behind it was dis
satisfaction of this independent
union with the delays of the
war labor board and the resent
ment of the local union lead
ers against what they termed
generally mishandling by ' the
American Telephone and Tele
graph company.
Strikes these days can be
called apparently for any rea
son at all, and it Is quite clear
that the maintenance of a gen
eral, reasonable labor attitude
is going to be a difficult prop
osition, especially after the Nazis
are defeated. It is much too
early to guess whether this is
Just a hiatus or a successful turn
in the labor situation trend
e e
THE CIO, of course, otherwise
the President's move toward de
nial of tfielr effort to break the
Little Steel formula, which is
the whole oenter of the line-holding
program.
It challenged the bureau of
labor statistics' figures, indicat
ing the rise In living costs has
been only 29 or 30 per cent. In
fact, labor members of WPB es
timated the increase at 43.5 per
cent.
Statistics these days are gen
erally what you want to make
them. The bureau of labor sta
tistics counted several items In
the cost of living, while the
labor unions counted others.
But there is an unchallenge
able necessity for Mr. Roosevelt's
attitude. The main economic
trouble with the nation today'
is that there is more cash in
circulation than goods to be
bought.
""ASH is piling up in the banks,
is being spent willy-nilly by
those with swollen war Incomes.
A condition has been created
which is essentially the sellers'
market.
Black markets are made ad
vantageous to both seller and
buyer. The buyer Is willing to
pay nearly anything demanded
because he has a surplus amount
of cash (in general, that is), while
the seller can, by many devices
of degrading his products or un
der the counter selling, evade
the government's restriction.
When this is done on a na

Now, If the government grant

VIA RED CROSS
Washington 03.fi The pris
oner oi war information bureau
of the army provost marshal
general's office, with the records
of 65,000 Americans interned in
enemy countries in their files,
recently revealed how American
prisoners are contacted.
Ninety-nine -per cent of pris
oner of war information comes
from Germany and Japanese re
ports sent through the Interna
tional Red Cross at Geneva,
Switzerland, they explained.
One per cent of prisoner reports
are sent by a protecting or neu
tral power' other than Switzer
land. . '
A few prisoners are reported
on enemy short-wave broadcasts,
but Col. Howard Bresee, head
of the prisoner of war informa
tion bureau, warned that these
reports are not reliable.
Germany Cuts Time '
It usually takes 00 days for a
man to be reported a prisoner of
war, but Germany has cut the
time down ' to 30 or 43 days.
As soon as the report is verified,
telegram Is sent to the next-of-kin.
Gen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower,
commanding general of -the al
lied forces in Europe, has on file
at his headquarters - complete
statistics on every American
prisoner of war In Germany.
As soon as the prison camps
are overrun by the allies, the
prisoner of war Information bu
reau takes the names out of their
official, file. At present, they are
waiting to send a list of Ameri
cans interned by the Japanese
to Gen. Douglas MafcArthur, al
lied supreme commander In the
southwest Pacific.
Receive Food Packages
Every month, 1,100,000 11
pound food packages are sent to
American prisoners army,
navy, marines, merchant marine,
coast guard and civilians to be
distributer! by the International
Red Cross. Much of it is army
food, and the army also contrib
utes clothing.
The next-of-kin designated by
the internee can send a package
every 60 days, but regular food 1
parcels are '' distributed . every j
week. Prisoners say the pack
ages, containing 4,000 calories,
are what keep them alive.
There is no chance of accumu
lating food to make an escane
because cans are- punctured as !
soon as they are given out by
the enemy. , t
In August the Red Cross sent
Christmas packages to every
prisoner of war. They'll have a
complete Christmas dinner
soup to nuts as well as Christ
mas presents.

WAR LOAN
E
Family and co-ownership hold
ings of "E" series war bonds is
explained in a recent artlclcre
leased by the Oregon War Fi
nance committee In preparation
for the Sixth War Loan drive
now In progress.
While it has been ruled that
the amount of "X" bonds issued
during any one calendar year
to any person Is limited to $5000
maturity value, the article states
that with respect to bonds held
in coownership, the $5000 lim
itation may be applied separate
ly to the holdings of either of
the co-owners. With respect to
families or groups, It has been
ruled that holdings are not ex
cessive It the entire amount can
be allocated to the various co-
owners .without apportioning
any one person more than $5000.
- Using a family of a man, wife
and two children as an example,
the article states that such a
family may hold $20,000 series
"E" bonds . Issued in one year.
The coownership form of regis
tration is not confined to mem
bers of a family. . ,
