ALASKA CTRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Was DEBTS AND WAR DEBTS Recently we've heard considérable talk about re- ducing taxes immediately after the war—and some people may have acquired the impression that because of the relatively high taxes we are now paying we'll | be in fairly good shape when the guns stop roaring. | On the contrary, our mounting war debt is going to be a first mortgage on the public treasury for a good many years to come. Sen. Robert A. Taft recently estimated that we will make the final payment on the | cdst of the World War IT in the year 2245. This is an estimate based upon the assumption thai the national debt can be retired at the rate of $1,000,000,000 a year, and that at war’s end we will owe approximately $300,000,000,000. Interest charges now are in the neighborhood of $4,000,000,000 a year. Reducing these figures to terms easier to grasp, the average American family’s share of its country’s wartime expenses is about $8200, of which it has already contributed over $1,400 since Pearl Harbor and will still owe $6,800 as its pro rata share of the post- war debt. There are, however, offsetting factors—in addi- tion to the most obvious one, the fact ihat we're vastly better off having bought vicory for such an |lower figure than at any time in many years. There “hu\'en'l been things for people to b and install- ment or credit buying has been reduced qn this ac- |count. Government controi nas acted as a further brake upen credit buying. The war debt is tremendous, sooner we pay it off the better for us and the genera- tions to follow. however, | (Cincinnati Enquirer) | Those enthusiastic optimists who have been pre- | dicting a defeat of Japan within a few months after |the fall of Germany should study closely the grave | warning recently issued by the Office of War In- {formation. While victory in the Pacific is certain, a | survey of the best military opinion shows that-it will | not be accomplished until at least 18 months after the end of the fighting in Europe. The reasoning behind the rather sanguine esti- Imate is clear and concise — as military reasoning {should be. The report points out that geography | fights with the Japanese; that months will be required | for the movement of men and supplies from Europe | to the Par East; that the enemy is firmly established inChina; that enemy production plants still are far- removed from Allied bases of attack. If the OWI findings are correct — and America must proceed on the assumption that they are we still have a long war ahead of us. There were | observers at the beginning of the war who believed !we couid crush the Japanese within a few months. Now, after almost three years of strife, we see how much in error those beliefs were. The situation will demand a continuance of the United States war effort in all its categories. Our | plants must continue to produce; our people must | continue to conserve and to do without many luxury items. The old car must run for months to come, and the trip we hoped to take next summer probably will| | be postponed. The boys we prayed might be coming | | home soon may come—but in most instances they will | arrive only for short visits. | 1f we accept these facts as we have accepted other demands of the war to date, our victory in the Pacific will be complete and definite. If we rebel | against the necessities of a continued campaign, the Japanese will win the partial victory they are seeking. | Their only hope now is that America and Britain, | | after years of conflict, will go soft; will pull out of i the Pacific before full defeat is administered to Tokyo. | This will be done unless our civilians at home, as the | soldiers at the front, stand staunch and true to the | | task in hand. If we forget Pearl Harbor and all it | | means, we still can be whipped in the Far East ! | Washington NOTE—While | Cox, the Justice Democrat, (Cquurmed jfrom Page One) Rooteevelt’s does about this remains to be seen.
