Sometimes, we have to spend money we don't have, so we buy on the installment plan or borrow from a bank, gam- bling on being able to pay the money back or keep up the installments on the basis of wages or future income we believe we have coming. But always, the safest course to follow is the tried “pay-as-you- go” method.

It is true that people generally, as President Roosevelt has suggested, do not fully realize the gravity of the threat to the United States. that public apathy is holding duction, The one point upon which the Congress has been conspicuously cooperative with the Administra- tion is its readiness to vote any defense appropria- tions asked for. The people’s elected representatives know the voters favor going the limit on defense spending and aid to Britain. Nor has the public balked at the prospect of higher taxes to meet the bills. That part of the public which constitutes de- up defense fense labor has thrown itself into production with | a will. There have been strikes—too many of them —and some iof them were unjustified.. But the de- fense program as a, whole has been delayed LESS | THAN A WEEK by all sLn}e_fi in the past year. That part of the publi¢ férmed by manufac- turers also has shown a cooperative spirit. Where the Government has succeeded in making up a definite program of cutting ngn-defense production, most manufacturers havé gone along without balking and without question. No matter how many bombs streets, money asking drop on main that OPM can't spend. There's no point in for cooperation on non-existent projects. .

But when people of a city have money to spend and there are civic im-| provements which are needed, it seems only com- mon sense that the job should be done and paid for while there is still coin in circulation to meet the expenses. Southeast Alaska has just experienced its most successful fishing season. Juneau, like the other cities in this section of the territory, is experienc- ing a minor business boom through the money | fishermen, cannerymen and others connected with the 'fisheries “industry are spending with merchants. Certainly, there are plenty of . municipal lm-! provements in Juneau waiting to be done. Some of our downtown streets could stand repairs, for one thing. Then, there is the matter of building a new City Hall, which Juneau residents must acknowledge is badly needed. And with the new city bhuilding, it is well known the Carnegie interests would es- tablish an up-to-date public library here, if space were available in a modern structure. We're not going on to' list more potential civic improvements. They're everywhere to be seen. Not: that Juneau isn't in'splendid shape for a city its sizey but no city ever reaches the point where it can no longer better sits appearance and its utility for its citizens. Right now, or have you noticed, the city is busy | , with improvements along lower Franklin Street. The destruction of old buildings and building of a side- walk to the Alaska Juneau office is a real improve- ment for the .city, bofh’in appearance of the property and in adding to the safety and comfort of Alaska Juneau employees who use this route to | and from work. But there is still more to be done. Certainly, we're not suggesting that these im- provements be made by the city under the city budget as now set up, which is just enough to cover | | line, in turn, |may be in the defense program. Senator Byrd recently lashed out at the Ad-| ministration with a shocking set of figures showing tank production virtually at a standstill, anti- aircraft production as nil and airplane production as falling off. But the most shocking thing about these figures | is that they turned out to be untrue. President Roosevelt himself, on information furnished by the War Department, has denied the figures as to tanks | | and anti-aircraft guns. Byrd, for instance, said not a single new tank had gone to England. Roosevelt says that hundreds of the newest models have been turned over to the British, The Baldwin Locomotive Works got into mass production of tanks eight months ahead of schedule and . will soon be rolling them off at the rate of 14,380 a year. Airplane production is admm,edly soft, especi- ally the drop in production for the month of July.| Every month ought to show an increase over the | month before. . The whole immense defense program cannot be | characterized as a failure or as a success so far.| There have been miracles of efficlency and marvels of stupidity. That the program isn't going faster, is due to the inherent difficulties of changing over the whole productive machine of the nation, without changing | our free system of society. There is no point in exaggerating the delay and blaming President Roosevelt or Director Knudsen. Neither is there an excuse for Knudsen's charge that the public is asleep and that its apathy is holding up defense. An enthusiastic worker, or a worker frlghtened by a bomb can't operate any faster than the pace of his assembly line. . The pace of the assembly is established on engineering factors, | not on the degree of fright in the workers. A frightened taxpayer can't pay his taxes any faster, and the Government couldn't spend them any faster if he did.

DEFENSE auiz To conduct the Treasury’s country-wide Defense Savings Program would seem to require a large organization. Is this the case? Promotion of the Defense Savings Program is largely a matter of volunteer effort. State chairmen are organizing general com- mittees, which, in turn, carry on the Defense Savings activity through other committees appointed in counties, cities, and towns, and also in social, civic, labor, business, and other organizations les of the State. ‘When will Defense Stamps go on sale in retail storés?
