New customers for diaper service in Washing ton, D. C., were accepted by laundries only after pre senting a doctor's prescription certifying that the mothers were too ill to wash diapers themselves, or on priorities for war workers. Summer is the busy season for the laundryman He's trying to do the best he can with little help, less experienced workers, more expensive ma- tertals, higher wages and other difficulties. He is Having a hard time staying in business. Don’t make it any harder for him. In the last two months 100 laundries went out of business in the States over own washin which local too Our War Debt (Cincinnati Enquirer) Many of our postwar problems may not develop as expected. Much of our postwar planning may be misdirected. But one problem we are certain to have, and one bit of planning we must do-—and this con- {cerns the certainty that whenever war ends we shall |have the greatest national debt in our history. Especially timely, therefore, was a recent article {in the Commercial and Fina 1cial Chronicle by Olin | Glenn Saxon, President of the Pennsylvania Leaguc jand professor of economics at Yale University. Its title was: “Can the United States Support a 300 Bil- |lion Dollar Debt?” 5 | Professor Saxon draws some comfort from a com- parison with England. We now are spending an es- timated 62 percent of our national income for war | purposes, while the United Kingdom is spending 69 percent, Our debt is now about $130,000,000, or not much above our national income, whereas Great Bri- 1tain for many years has carried a national. debt more |than 200 percent greater than its national income— and consistently maintained a balanced budget in the years preceding the present war. The economist cites that as an argument that we can support a debt of $300,000,000,000 after the |war if we follow the proper fiscal policies. The debt can and must be redeemed in honest dollars, be in- | sists—we must avoid the perilous short-cuts of de- valuation of the dollar, or repudiation, orinflation Such expendients would only deal severe blows to the I middle class of the nation—which is the class cap- able of paying off the debt over a reasonable period of time under any orthodox fiscal policy. As Professor Saxon points out, our Federal debt cannot be discharged by any nostrums. It cannot |be paid off by soaking the rich (in 1938 the total in- come of all persons receiving $5,000 or more a year was only $6,500,000,000, or not enough to finance the war for even a month at the current rate of expenditures) Paying off the war debt will not be easy, but it can be accomplished through a fair representative {taxation of the entire public. There is no other way to do it without greatly endangering our national soundness, and no other way should be attempted. No Super-Men (Philadelphia Record) Any idea that the Japs are super-men, who can fight from the jungles to the Arctic on a handful of rice, is pretty well dispelled by what our troops found on Attu Included in the spoils were saki (rice wine), tea, soy sauce, dehydrated potatoes, canned fish, vitamin pills, many jars of cold cream and pomade, as well as a portable steam bath The Japs' heavy sweater-wool underwear, fur- lined gloves and other winter clothes were ‘“more uitable, although not as durable as ours,” Lieutenant Colonel Fish reported | On Guadalcanal, too, our men found a refriger- ating plant, tins of fruit and meat.

In Wrangell, President Harding and his party were {grcetod by 1,000 people of the city and Petersburg. He gave an address from the steps of the courthouse and declared that he came to Alaska as an ‘“‘apostle of understanding’ and wanted his administration to go down in history as “a period of understanding.” The sports program scheduled for the Fourth of July and postponed because of rain, was held the previous day at the Admiral Line dock when a large crowd was on hand to watch the fun. One feature of the program was a race between F. A. Metcalf and R. L. Bills, who ran in the 50-yard dash for men over 40 years or age. Bills came in first and Metcalf wagered that he could beat Bills at a 100-yard dash. He won the wager on the 100-yard dash, which brought laughter and cheers from the onlookers. Attractions at the theatres were “Sisters” featuring Matt Moore at the Palace and Bill Hart in “White Oaks” at the Coliseum Hundreds of tourists arrived in Juneau aboard the Princess Alice and Queen, many of whom enjoyed trips out the highway. H. G. Steel, editor of the Cordova Daily Times, arrived in Juneau and was to remain until the arrival from the South of the Alameda when he would join his sister, Miss Annetta Steel, who was to accompany him for a visit to the Westward. Pay day at the Alaska Juneau and Treadwell plants was held a day early in accommodation to the employees who would want to take the day off. Weather was cloudy with a maximum temperature of 80 and a minimum of 71.
