GARDE Juneau civic leaders seem to be overlooking one | angle in attempting to give the Juneau boys and gi something to do in the way of constructive recrea: tion. Ted Carter, of the University of Alaska extension | service traveling Victory Garden campaigner, suggests the use of 4-H clubs if the kids want something to do. | In the States the youngsters go for the agricultural \ club in a big way, sell their produce at a profit, conduct | their own fairs and produce showings. Competition between the clubs the separate clubs seems to have a great deal to do | with the effort put forth by the youngsters Juneau businessmen and organization could well afford to sponsor such a club in this district and also give it a start by putting up the NG WOULD HELP Newspapers, 1411 plus is e: nesses, To be sure, fairly | tions. Nevertheless, stable in recent months, expenditures for goods.and services have been rhod- erate. They further emphasize the gratifying fact that instead of using increased funds available for spend- ing to bid for the limited stock of civilian goods, the | public is holding a large share of surplus income in | the form of cash, deposits, their parents when it comies to growing a first class garden, and given a little encouragement they prob- ably would do the same here. Inflation Gap (Washington Post) An effort is being made to belittle the significance of what Leon Henderson once called our inflation gap. Those who make this contention are seeking to bolster it up on figures just issued by the Federal Reserve System. These show a Jong-continued gap of vast proportions, which, however, has not led to inflation. Ergo, the significance of the gap has been exaggerated. Let us first look at the figures. of the Federal Reserve Bulletin states that “Income of individuals, after increased tax payments, have con- tinued to be substantially in excess of the supply of goods and services available for purchase.” 1943 and the early part of the current year, this sur- stimated to have amounted to about 27 cents out of every dollar of income after payment of {axes. The result of such a high percentage of surplus spend- ing power has been a tremendous expansion of cash, bank deposits and Government security holdings in the hands of individuals and unincorporated busi- the increase for the past three years being estimated at approximately 70 billion dollars. These are the figures of surplus purchasing power fluences are active. that are cited as evidence that economists have exaggerated the dangerous potentialties of the so- called inflation gap. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, the Federal Reserve Board economists are concerned. they point out that prices have been The April issue During so far as the pronouncements of while increases in and Government obliga- there is no suggestion of com- placvnq or intimation that it is all nonsense to fear incontrollable inflation because the tremendous in- crease in consumer purchasing power has so far not | sponsible for | than spending. as well as w\thhu and services.” prizes to be won produced serious inflation. serve Bulletin emphasizes the fact that Government controls over prices and rationing are chiefly re- restrained consumer with a public attitude that has favored savings rather | Norway and Greece should benefit; “It is important,” the Bulletin states, | “that the controls and the inducements to save be con- tinued in full force during the war period in order | to reduce the pressure of increased incomes and ac- cumulated buying power on limited supplies of goods That is an implied admission that the | outlook for 1944 is encouraging.

At least, that's the way 1 feel about it. All Presidents lead a hard life, Mrs. Cady, in peace or war.” KELLEMS LOVE LETTERS Members of the Senate Post Of- fice Committee have been debating whether they should call this col- umnist as a witness when they in- vestigate the Vivien Kellems love letters to an alleged Nazi agent Senator Kenneth (No-Mountain- eer) McKellar is determined to call me and make me tell where I gol the contents of the Kellems letters. The gentleman from Tennessee, who recently spent forty-five min- utes harranguing his Senatorial col- | leagues about the evils of the washington Merry-Go-Round, wants me called as the first witness. Senator Clyde Reed, Republican | of Kansas, disagrees. “You'll only make a martyr of Pearson,” Reed argued in private talks with his colleagues. Senator, Homer Ferguson, Repub- lican of Michigan, agrees with Reed. They want to call chief censor By- ron Price as the main witness, would cven prefer that McKellar did not serve on the investigating sub-committee. However, since Mc- Kellar is chairman of the full com- mittee, he has the power to appoint himself chairman of the sub-com- mittee and he insists on 'doing so. This columnist will be delighted to appear. KNOX AND ICKES Not many outside the Cabinet realized that a genuine friendship existed between Secretary of the Interior Ickes and the late Secre- tary of Navy Knox.

They dis- agreed on a lot of things, rowed over a lot of things, but respected and Mked each other. Shortly before Knox died, an under-cotp:r move was launched inside the Navy to oust Ickes as preSident of the Petroleum Reserve Corporation, which also includes the Secretary of War and the Semetnr) of the Navy. Undersecretary of the Navy For-| restal initiated the campaign against Ickes and tipped off Under- | secretary of War Pattérson to make 2 motion at the mext meeting of | the Petroleum Reserves Corpora- tion that Ickes be ousted and a naval officer become president in-! stead.
