But we're wondering if the expense of this one isn't a little more than is necessary. We're not beef- ing. We're wliling to plug along at the same salary we got before the war, Were willing to do without an auto because there are no tires, because the army and navy needs gas and oil. We're willing to cut down on sugar, wear clothes without cuffs and do many other things if it will help win the war But we're just wondering about a few things We're wondering how the millions of including Alaskans, whose shrunk because they remained employers, or to a task rather than deserting that pay $15 to $20 a shift, feel about this United States incomes have to their citizens have loyal for jobs We fail 1o see just why jobs on war projects pay 0 many times more than other jobs. so many times more than the important job of being soldier. We wonder if that isn't one of the reasons why the wai is costing so much money We shrink to believe, as could be inferred from this, that American laborers weould steer away from projects unless they are offered fabulous wages But this seems to be the reason for these mountainous salaries The government has done little to halt even a further increase. We have heen promised that wages will be stabilized. But we don’t think that this is enough. They should have been stabilized long ago We don't think that the rank and file of labor is proud of taking hig wages. We believe that they realize that there is blood on every cent this war is costing us—blood of soldiers who are fighting today in many parts of the globe without any grumbling over how much money they are making. We think that more than one worker on a war project in Alaska feels a little ashamed when he draws his pay check. 'k been the U Washmglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) preparations.
