ALASEA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Bullding, Seattle, Wash. MORE ON PLANNING In a recent speech before a group of engineers in Ohio, Col. William N. Carey, chief engineer of the Pederal Works Agency’s Corps of Engineers, out- lined a phase of peace planning which he said could not wait until the end of the war He said that this phase of planning is that which would find some practicable means of bridging the gap between war production and peace-time in- dustry. Efforts should be directed, he said, toward bridging this gap in such a way as to avoid a criti- cal period of depression. Some economists are outright pessimists on this subject. They believe that the war will be followed by a general economic depression. Others think that the post-war period will bring a new and higher standard of prosperity to the United States. These latter cite the huge demand for civilian needs that is now being created through- out the whole world during the war period, point out that a vast amount of public saving has and is taking place through the purchase of War Bonds, thus laying the foundation for a prosperous period of trade when the war is over. Recalling the time it took for peace industries to' be converted into war industries, one is led to be- lieve that a shorter length of time will be required for the swing back to peaceful production. Plants will not be faced with all of the problems of reshap- 'mg machinery because they will be turning back to Washinglon Merry- Bo-Round (Continued from Page One) ?Then ! chest, dent he went t MILITARY VS. | Al this sounds \(he usual merry-g | ington, |see-sawing of President | after getting this off like the name-calling, | personal omething which is a familiar job. Then, too, most Jindustrial managers are now planning in detail for |the shift back to peace, something which was not done before the shift of gears to war manufactur- |ing. Some companies have progressed so far along |this line that they already are advertising products |which they intend to produce after the war. But at the same time, it would be foolish to over- look the fact that there must be some interim in which production will come to a near standstill. During this interval, returning soldiers, war work- ers, their families will be placed in a position of trial and uncertainty. At least temporarily, there {will be more men for jobs than there are jobs. And it is doubtful if there will be any immediate splurge of spending because most people will be waiting to |see what lies ahead. Colonel Carey suggests an extensive planning program by communities, States, Territories and the | Federal government of useful public work to be undertaken at once upon a cessation of war. This suggestion is well taken. But in addition, there should be an understanding policy on the part of {the Federal government and such men as Colonel |Carey to encourage private initiative to the utmost during this transition period. There is one thing that a returning soldier will |want when he comes back—a job, but not one of |the WPA variety. Nazi Crime Won't Pay | (Philadelphia Record) Seventeen of the United Nations have warned {the Axis and neutral countries that they reserve the occupied countries. The nations, including the United States, Britain, Russia, China and the French National Committee, promise to do their utmost to return property to its joriginal owners, even if the transfer appeared legal. step toward solving one of the complicated problems that will face us when peace comes. It is a weapon that ‘can be used to help win the war. It warns Quislings of all nationalities that they won't be able to profit by seizing property of persecuted patriots. The Germans have in many cases observed legal I niceties in seizing property. They have paid in “oc- cupation marks,” had the transactions entered in the books according to form.
