NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, THE POSTWAR DEBT No one kncws, of course, what the national debt of the United States will be at the end of the war But, according to figures reported by the Citizens’ National Committee in Washington, it now is about $1,207 per capita and before peace may mount to as much as $2,000. Add that to the ordinary civilian debt load and the debt of various subdivisions of gov- ernment, and we see that very man and woman in the nation will be up to his—or her—ears in the red by the time Mr. Hitler and Mr. Tojo are safely out of the way. It is interesting to note that the national debt was only $12 per capita at the beginning of World War T that it was $250 at the close—an increase of 2,500 per cent. At the end of 1942 American citizens owed $326 per capita. we have increased this figure about 360 per cent; if | the $2,000 figure is reached, the increase will be some- thing over 600 per cent. ‘When our national income was between $45,000,- 000,000 and »50000000 000. the national debt was less Washingtes Merry- Go-Round (Continuea i1rom Page One) of the President’s ¥know the Prime messages to three South Africa, At the present figure—$1,207— | British dominions.

At the end of 1943 that rate had been cut almost in half. The national debt which the country now must carry can be liquidated and maintained only if we are able to maintain a large national income. If we should slump back to the 1932-33 level, alone would consume an important percentage of our total earning power. If, however, we can hold the national income to $125,000,000,000 or better—it is well above that now—the interest charges, while they will be a highly important factor, need not be ruinous. The fact that the country will be in for a long period of high taxes when the war ends cannot be denied. But the rate of that taxation will be much lighter on each individual the country over if it is possible to kep total earnings at levels high enough to met postwar obligations, but low enough to keep us outside the spiral of inflation lhe Olfentler-. Pun (Cincinnati Enquirer) It was stiff medicine which an Algiers court dosed out to four of the 11 officers and guards of the Hadjerat Congentration Camp. Accused of torturing anti-Fascist mtunecs under the leadership of the Vichy Government, the quartet was sentenced to death. Testimony indicated that the Frenchmen on trial had used Nazi concentration camp tactics in a North African reign of terror. The sentences do not augur well for Nazi leaders who have been guilty of similar practices in all par of Europe. Here is another indication that ind viduals who have perpetrated brutalities and horror: on helpless prisoners will be forced to pay for their crimes as soon as conditions make their trials pos- sible. Germans recently convicted of these same offenses in Russl the hands of a Soviet tribunal History shows a well-marked tendency, on the ending of hostilities, toward full forgiveness of atrocities committed during the heat of conflict. Such | an attitude supplies an incentive for brutality. Arro- gant conquerors, looking back to the record of other wars, realize that they probably will escape punish- ment for the crimes they may commit; they have done it before and reason they can do it again. It would be wise, then, to remember these facts in considering atrocities at the end of this conflict., There will be a strong temptation to get the whole business over and done with; to punish a few and, | forget the rest. Demands of the recovery period will be great and taxing; we will have little time or energy for tracing war criminals or for bringing them to justice. If we do follow that road—and it will be the easy road, regardless of what our enthusiasms of the | present may lead us to believe--we will be encouraging ' | future wars and future atrocities. However, if we make | 'the effort to punish every offender, relentless officers and men in future years, looking backward, will spare the ldsh for fear of cutting their own back; plan to meet and Ministers of the Just as Hitler is preparing to bring another war crisis in Europe, Chil- ean and Brazilian Nazis of German descent have been moving southern Argenuna.” Yet, until recently, we have kept Prime Ministers tralia.
