POLICY CHANGES NEEDED While we are planning for the post-war per iod on an international scale in preparation for handling the enemy nations, we must also do some political planning on a national scale. Congress has given to the president unprece dented war powers, many of which he needs, because conducting a war is an executive job and not a legislative function. Congress has al so lost some of its authority because o f war co nditions. After the war this situation must be revised, or our government will become more bureau cratic than ever and anyone with any sense of responsibility knows that it now is more burea ucratic than is good for the people. Committ ees, agencies and bureaus have been created by the dozens and men and women have been em ployed by the thousands to cope with the war situation and those people are going to make a fight to retain their jobs after the war: Their fight is going to be made easier by the fact that changes in government have a tendency to re main in effect. Probably most of these changes, necessary because of the war, will remain in effect unless the people demand a reversion to our peace- time » policies policif and quit asking for government help. iPeople complain about high taxes and continue to demand the conveniences, benefits and paternalism that force taxes higher. In connection with our planning for peace time construction programs, it is encouraging to note that community committees are attemp ting to avoid so far as possible any plans for accepting government money on the W.P.A. basis. At least practically all Oregon commun ities are emphatic in their demands that the co nstruction projects be financed locally, thus av oiding the expensive policies of government fi nancing. That situation fits nicely into the contention that paternalism should be reduced and not in creased after the war. ACTS ON LIVESTOCK FEED anent regulation on these feeds.

Joseph B Eastman, ODT director, requested civilians to de fer even necessary travel, wherever posable, until after January to. Because of supply limitations, few extra trains can be operated over the holidays. Unless civilians stay home, accommodations for service men on furlough and essential war business travel cannot be assured. Despite shortages of workers, the public transportation industries are successfully carrying more passen gers and more freight than ever before. However, the transporta tion manpower proolem is now be coming serious, especially In main tenance and repairs. 8TAKT MAKING RATION TOKENS Manufacture was started last week on 2 billion ration tokens to be used In making "ration change" when the ration token plan goes into effect Sunday, February 27. according to OPA. The order calls for 1,100,000,000 red tokens for meats and fats and 900,000,000 blue tokens for processed foods. Itood retailers will get their supply from the nation’s banks. Strips of stamps, will be validated on a horizontal or across-the-book basis rather than on a vertical or up- and-down basis, as at present. A regular schedule of validity dates will be established, which will pro vide five processed food stamps worth 5 points for each- consum er at the start of each month. Three meat-fats stamps worth a total of 30 points will become valid every two weeks.
