AFTER THE WAR . . . of some According to a survey the Bureau of Labor statistics, there will be 7,000,000 to 12,000,000 jobless in America within six months after the end of the war. And even under the most favorable con- ditions, it will be a year and a half before that army of veterans and former war plant workers can be “reduced to small dimensions.” Not only does this mean that we must face the problem of caring for the unemployed, if the Bureau’s forecast is correct, but a surplus of labor will have the tendency t6 pull down the wages of those who are employed, probably accompanied by the usual lag in declining prices. For this reason, Congress should be preparing now to accept the fact that some post-war government spending will be necessary. Private enterprise must, of course, provide the bulk of employment. But if private industry is unable to absorb some 12,000,000 men, then it must be helped by government spending. be provided for those caught in the slack tide, a gradual demobilization of those in the armed forces to level out the impact of unemployment, the vol- untary withdrawal from the labor market of women, school-age youths and over-age workers, a Federal placement service to help workers relocate. Role of (ompulsur\ Savings (New York Times) Compulsory saving is being widely advocated as a major anti-inflation measure. Thus far, however, it has not been indicated how such a program will fit into the fiscal picture and the extent to which it will increase the diversion of purchasing power to the Government. The adoption of forced savings programs in Canada and Great Britain is cited as evidence of the usefulness of this device as part of a wartime fiscal policy. It is instructive, therefore, to examine the circumstances under which these programs were introduced and the extent to which they contribute to war finance in those countries. Two facts stand out from such a study: first, compulsory savings have been introduced simultan- eously with the imposition of a heavier tax load in order to take the sting out of such increases; and, second, funds obtained in this manner cover only a minor proportion of Government spending. Accord- ing to a recent Brookings Institution survey, com- pulsory savings, that is, post-war credits, of corpora tions and individuals in Canada will yield $225 millions in the current fiscal ye: or enough to cover only 4 per cent of Government expenditures or 7': per cent )f the estimated deficit. The report concludes that ‘compulsory savings are, therefore, not a major mvlhod‘ »f financing the war effort. The program appears to| be designated primarily to sweeten the bitter pill of heavy taxation.” In England, forced savings have accounted for similarly small proportions of total| expenditures or of the deficit The limited application of a forced savings pro- gram is attributable to a large extent to the fact that an extensive program would be substantially offset by | a curtailment in voluntary bond purchases. As the | total of such voluntary purchgses expands, the in- creased net yield to be expected from compulsory savings becomes progressively smaller. In this country | the annual rate of war savings bond sales now exceeds} $10 billions. During the current year an additional |* $8 to $10 billions will be bought under the war loan drives. Moreover, part of the institutional purchases | represent savings of individuals. Thus voluntary pur- chases aggregate some $20 to $25 billions. If the scope of a forced savings program were too | ambitious, therefore, it might, result largely in substitution of compulsory for voluntary savings, Au\d‘ hence probably have only a minor influence upon th(u size of the inflationary gap. Thus it seems probable that compulsory savings might be more usefully em- ployed as a means to an end—the end being higher | taxes. As in Canada and England, and in the case of the victory tax in this country, compulsory savings | should represent a return of part of a tax increase | | sibilities in war or business.

This is a day when the ut- most courage and faith should sus- tain wives and mothers of the men| in war vice. Realization of the spiritual forces as allied to the phy-| sical strength of the nation will be| widespread at this time when th(-; molding of a new world becomes the concern of all who have Iore:ighti regarding postwar needs. This is a| time to look forward with hopes that are anchored on holy aspira-| tions for* human betterment. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is an auspicious day for settling financial | affairs, finishing pending deals and preparing for a busy week in which there will be sensational events. Anxiety regarding inflation will be more general than in previous| months of wartime. bor prob- lems again will cause unrest in im-| |portant industries. There is a| threatening aspect affecting coal] mining. Again the seers warn that| | severe cold will prevail next winter; |in many parts of the United States. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Hospital ac- | | commodations are to be inadequate to meet demands and the shormgei of nurses will be a serious drawback through coming months.

Net receipts from timber sales and leases in Alaskan National Forests for the twelve-month period October 1, 1922 to September 30, 1923, amounting to $98,406.11 had been exceeded but twice by any similar period since they were established, according to M.
