War for which we are prepared would be a terrible thing for our country, not to speak of war for which we are not yet prepared. Poor Benito AHEN Adolf and Benito met this week for another it of their "secret" conferences, it must have been an embarrassing moment for Benito. Adolfs record is one of repeated and consistently astounding successes, excepting of course the threatened invasion of England. When Adolf has decided to go somewhere, he has usually gone right there, and on fixed time schedule. But poor Benito has no such record. He waited until -Adolf had everything set for him before entering the war,- and he took his assignments with breast-beating promises of delivering the goods. He hasn t delivered anything and now he has had to call on Adolf to deliver him from threatened defeat following dismal failure of every major military project he has undertaken in the current ruckus. So there couldn't have been any question, when they met this week, as to who was the king pin and who was going to have to take advice and orders and help. There couldn't- have been any question but that Italy has been added to Adolf's list of vassal countries, and that talk of equal partnership is meaningless falderal for the ears of the unhappy people of Italy. Those Center Strips ALONG-STANDING problem was presented to the council again this week when a petition appeared asking for uniform landscaping of Pacific terrace's for lorn center parking strip. It has always been the policy of the city to consider the strip Pacific terrace's problem. Similar strips on California avenue and North Seventh street have been considered the problems of those districts. Anything that is done, of course, will have to apply to all such strips in the city. All of them are unsightly. That they were created without advance arrangements to take care of them prop erly is no credit upon the early planners. Courthouse Records Monday Marring Application!

Jl&J COMPANION FEATURE imnuNoirswrapi secki MaWietW By PaulMallon WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 This government is firmly step ping out now upon an economic roller coaster and knows It. Mr. Roosevelt glanced briefly at dizzy ascents, screaming curves, and chutes in his mess ages laying out the $28,000,- 000,000 program. The violence this is likely to do to our economic ways is clear when you consider the inflationary awe with which the $49,000,000,000 debt is now viewed in many quarters. The defense expenditures now con templated may shoot it up 50 per cent. With the shortages of materials and labor already creating a price inflation prob lem and the peak of the pro gram a year off the prospects are obvious. A If Landon has said the program is putting the capitalistic system through the wringer, and he wonders if the republic will go through the rock crusher at all. The possl bility of socialism as the out growth in England is well advertised. But I have an idea the obvi ous never happens in these mat ters. The soup never tastes ex actly as the cook book orders it. As I see the new deal ad ministration beginning to move now toward more controls, it seems to me what we are going to get on the ascent is control, control, control. Prices, cred i t s, production, distribution, money every corpuscle of the economic lifeblood is apt to feel increasingly the hand of the centralized state. As bigger doses of the same thing are already being talked to ward off the post war de scent, it seems to me you are apt to wind up in this thing not necessarily with inflation, deflation and the other natural consequences but more prob ably with a distinctly new kind of democratic state, a form of economic democratic absolutism creeping up by the necessity of warding off consequences, o o o LIMITATION To start with the government men (mind you, business does not yet concede these things will ' be necessary), are talking about aluminum. They see the time coming when housewives will have to get along with less and pay much more for what they can get. This will be the first Instance In which the gen eral public may notice that we are getting off the ground. Next is likely to be autos. By July the defense experts sus pect some steps will be neces sary to curtail private car pro duction. They would not be surprised if the cut amounts to third by December. These limitations will un doubtedly have to be extended as the program develops to most of the other necessities and luxuries of everyday liv ing. But the administration is likely to hold back and apply controls piecemeal in order to avoid any more dislocation than necessary. CONTROLS To keep inflation from float ing off with the ascending spiral, five or more steps are being considered by defense commission economists. One primary problem is to prevent the greater circulation of money from causing a bidding up of prices for materials which are only limitedly available, a situ ation which will cause a depre ciation of the value of money. First remedy all the new dealeri favor is taxes. They look on higher taxes not par ticularly as a means of paying the defense program but as an economic suction pump to draw SIDE GLANCES LAST npAAk.lCC DIWCO" at OTVAIXCC iicr TOMORROW LAUGMi UNTIL YOUR SIDES HURT!

(Im partial Brookings Institute has recommended draining o n e fourth of the national income to pay-as-you-go for defense). A campaign will undoubtedly be started to promote cash pay ments for all goods and less in stallment buying. A system of forced savings is likely to be set up. (A cer tain amount of a worker's earn ings might be required for in vestment in government bonds. A new kind of Liberty bond campaign will be started (Mr. Morgenthau has already prom ised this much) to sell baby bonds and thrift stamps. But the main over-all control will be priorities. This means the government will tell each factory how much consumers goods it can produce, how much defense goods, and either di rectly or indirectly what can be charged for it. e FIXING This will be accompanied by controls over money and bank- I -r rr 0WUCH0 5 t 3S3HHffiStas, t.llllll llll". miict run wrnuronxvi imuoi uiu n mnLJUn I : mmuuuntmmtmr CHICO-HAITO far- 60 OUST Wta JOHN CAMOU NANA ITWB.
