Let's Keep Our Heads
fHE miinirinal iurice at San Francisco who convicted
I the two young navy men in the Nazi flag case seems
to have been generously enaowea wun common mise.
He told the young men that their act was an offense
against another country with whom this nation is at peace,

emblem was "the act of youth in all its recklessness
prompted by bravado ana tne wisn to oe a nero in me
eyes of the crowd." President Roosevelt, he said, has
expressed a wish to keep America out of war, and it is
"our duty to support tnat.
Hysteria is a subtle, overwhelming thing. The San
Francisco incident was an act of hysteria, aided and

It is such explosive hysteria as this that pushes a nation
into situations which it should avoid or for which it is
not yet prepared. The young men who slashed the Nazi
flag are symbols of a state of mind that is reckless and
dangerous at tins time.

ities ana to avoid incidents tnac increase tne danger 01
war. 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.

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

money away from consumers
which might otherwise be spent
for consumers goods and thus
clog the defense program. (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

ings might be required for in

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.
