Ration Thievery (Cineinnati Enquirer) A bill has been introduced in the House of Rep- | resentatives to make it a Federal offense to steal or embezzle any articles or products, including food or materials, which are subject to rationing under Fed- | eral law. The sponsor is Representative George Dondero of Michigan and the designation of the bill | is HR. 894, The measure is attracting wide attention throughout the country, especially among retailers of groceries and dry goods, because it would afford a potent means of dealing with the pilferage of ra- tioned goods. Every merchant has had to contend, in varying degrees, with a certain amount of petty thievery and shoplifting. In ordinary times his loss is that of the cost of the goods stolen; but under a rationing program his loss may be much more seri- ous, because he loses not only the value of the goods but also, in all likelihood, the chance to replace it. Under the regulations of the Office of Price Admin- istration merchants can replenish their stocks only when they present ration stamps in the proper amount. Naturally, the thief who steals coffee or sugar or other rationed merchandise leaves no ration stamp—in fact, the theft is prompted by the desire to get the goods without ration stamps—and there- fore: the hole in the mvrchnnts stock may remain | "I‘Ilnfl“l Inside fact is | Latin America.

Carried on over a period of time, such |thievety milght bécome a very serious threat to the merchant’s maans of livelihood We question the wisdom of placing the Federal Government in position where it must catch and punish petit’ larceny. At first blush this seems to {be a fantastic expansion of the police powers of the (Federal Government. It must be granted, however, that the Federal Government has specified punish- ment (which under most circumstances seems ridi- !culously great) for evasion and falsification of ration wegulations and reoorts. For this reason a way may {be clear for Pederal law to deal with the theft and embezzlément of rationed goods. The only practieal alternative to Federal action is local action of such efficiency and severity as to deter all would-be thieves and embezzlers. No ele- ment of the general public must be permitted to get ithe notion that it is “smart” or “slick’ to steal goods |subject to ration restrictions. There must be some |effective safeguard against the practice, because \\mder a strict ration control such thievery has dis- ‘aslrous consequences. They Will Not Forget (Philadelphia Record) We have the belief as well as the hope that after | this war it will be different; that misguided senti- imentnmy will not permit the war criminals to es- cape as they did last time. Most Americans will agree thoroughly with Mon- signor John A. Ryan, director of the National Catho- |lic Welfare Conference, who writes in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: ! “What penalties should +be imposed upon the leading culprits, Hitler, Mussolini and their chief associates, and the corresponding group in Japan? “The most responsible amowg them should be put |to death. From the viewpoint of vindictive, or retri- |butive, justice they richly deserve this fate; from the |viewpoint of the international common good, it | would have a salutary effect upon prospective viola- | tors of international order. No milder punishment would have an adequate deterrent effect.” There will, of course, be powerful pressure for a contrary course after the war. That was so lasl’ time, Somehow the vietors forgot to ang the | Kaiser!” who was pictured in later years as a kindly | old wood chopper. It is not mercy to let killers go frec. It is noti charity to set mental degenerates loose among de- | cent peoples and decent nations. If anything, wheni |this war is over the victor peoples will have to be | restraihed from visiting mass véngeance upon fhe |masses of theéir foes. | | If you were a British father or mother who saw your child mowed down by a strafing Nazi flier; if | you later heard that flier boast—as did Captain | Schumann-—that his murder of those helpless school | children was “a merry party’— You would not be content to hang Hitler, Goer-\ ing and Ribbentrop, and maybe a few more. You| would want to search Nazi Germany for Captain | Schumann. You would want to show him that two] can stage a “merry party.” You would want to| avenge your child, cruelly slaughtered in cold blood. | No, we do not believe the British, or the Rus. sians, or the Chinese—ot the Americans, this time— ! will forget when me war is over. sty mies | Also it |secrecy will veil splendid achieve- { which ,un individual purses. ,e)'cnemenl on the Pacific Coast are | unteers who have done valiant ser- HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL 2 ey | Harold Palmer !

The joint legislative committee which had gone to Sitka to inspect the Pioneers’ Home, returned in the morning on the Unalga.
