Lend-lease has been checked by congressional and military authorities. Whatever abuses there have been have been indeed infinitesimal in relation to the magnitude of the program — and certainly are un- important when considered in the light of what the lend-lease program has accomplished. Most of these rumors and reports are originated by someone hostile to the Allied cause. That they continue to circulate for any length of time does no credit to the intelligence of those who pass them along. Of course, some of the rumors are so fantastic that only a fool would take stock in them. Others, more artfully conceived, have the ring of plausibility and may gain some credence. The Toronto Star takes note of some of these rumors and refutes them with the facts in each case. For instance, you may have heard that the British charge the United States high rental costs for airfields in the British Isles. The fact is that the British have built 133 airfields for us at a cost to themselves of $440,000,000, and have turned them over to the United States as reverse lend-lease without repayment. Perhaps someone told you that U. S. lend-lease exports to Great Britain had enabled that country to maintain an export trade at a relatively high level during the war. The fact is that British export trade hasgeclined far more drastically than our own, accord- ing to the U. S. Foreign Economic Administration. Or maybe you'd heard that American tourists in Canada were able to buy all the butter they wanted, only to find it bearing a lend-lease label. This tale, obviously a little more implausible than most, is en- tirely without basis. Canada gets no butter on lend- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA she does get.

The selection chosen for the service will be John Stainer's “The Crucifixion,” VAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 | 5 cantata of about an hour’s duration. | Bio Ly e | A Slogan, and Reality (Cincinnati Enquirer) There’s danger—and real danger, we think—that we may upset our postwar economic picture by too much insistence upon such catch slogans as “60,000,- 000 jobs.” There may be some people in this: country, per- haps some economic royalists, who are so astoundingly myopic or selfish in their outlook that they relish the thought of anyone who wants a job not having one. We're glad to say we don't know any such creature. and economic belief can agree upon it's the de- | |7 If there’s anything that all creeds of political | | sirability of as many jobs as our economic structure will bear. The only question, therefore, is: What to do about providing more jobs if that still isn’t enough? In stating the case, we think we have revealed the faulty premise with which many postwar planners —particularly of the'Henry Wallace school—are ap- proaching the subject of tomorrow’s jobs. Namely— how to provide more jobs than “our economic struc- ture will bear.” The obvious answer to the question is: “Have the government provide them!” It sounds well enough, but, if there isn't money in our economic structure to put a man to work, whefe's the government going to get it? Unfortunately, in the lagt decade or so, we have grown to think of government resources as something apart from our national private resources. Actually, when you stop to think about it, the credit of the United States wouldn’t be worth a tinker'’s dam if it didn’t represent the power to tax 130,000,000 people, each with his own private means, his job, his house or his share of railroad stock. And the nation’s credit wouldn’'t be worth a tinker's dam if we were individually and collectively paupers. Up to now, we have sidestepped this blunt economic reality by the expedient of borrowing. But those days are done, if not forever, at least for however long it will take to retire the war debt. Only a madman would propose that the government keep on living beyond its income after the war, with the debt already ranging toward a third of a trillion dollars. So what? Well, it’s really fairly simple. After private business and industry provide all the jobs they can (and the less restrictive the government regula- tion the more they can provide, of course) the government actually can’t increase the net number of available jobs. If it “makes” a job it must collect taxes to pay for it—the taxation comes out of cor- porate or individual funds and a job for someone is eliminated. .Any grandiose program of governmentally made work only trades private employment for the lease from the United States and pays for what butter Wa;thnlon !dore Vanderbilt.

Apparently anxious to pro-| tect. the monopoly of the Aluminum Company of America, Jones put every obstacle in front of Rey- nolds when it came to financing his aluminum project. After telling the Senate Commit- tee most of the story, Reynolds remarked that he had a confi- dential talk with ‘Jones after the Reynolds Metal Company had gone into operation and shown its sta- bility. “You know, Reynolds,” Jones had said, “everybody thought you were going to go broke. I did, too.
