MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS !sell British securities FIREWORKS START MONDAY Anchorage has its Fur Rendezvous. Fairbanks has its Winter Carnival. But next week Juneau has its special session of the Territorial Legislature, and that's going to be the biggest show in Alaska for the next 30 days. Most of the lawmakers already have town for the session and others are expected by Mon- da, Juneau extends a hearty welcome to all—well, at least to most. The task before the Legislature is a large one for period. Veter: legislation and health matters are to receive first attention, along with proposed highway legislation and a long stribg of others, including the regulating of the size of potatoes. More than a few bills for veterans are being circulated—some providing bonuses, others loans—but the bill receiving the most attention so far is a loan bill prepared by Senator Doc Walker of Ketchikan. Amendments to the labor laws are also being worked up, although such legislation was absent from the call and not listed by the Attorney General among bills he is preparing. More funds for hospitals and tubercu- losis will be sought by Commissioner of Health Dr. C.. Earl Albercht. Most other offices will be seeking more money also, and consequently, tax bills are prob- ably being prepared All in all it will mean an exciting 30 days for Juneau and an interesting 30 days. arrived in so0 short a pleted ONE-THIRD FOR TAXES Postwar prosperity—if we are to have it—will, in the vernacular, take some doing. A survey just com- shows that the American tax collector now takes almost one out of every three dollars, or 31.44 per,cent of the nation’s total income That represents a revelutionary shift from condi- Before World War I, per tions of a generation the relatively small national income the 119 per or s0 ago. tax collector claimed only cent .of the Even after the war in 1922 tax “take” out of the country’s income was only cent, or little more than a third of its present We have thought of England as a horribly tax ridden country, yet British tax collectors take little more than their American counterparts. In England taxes now run 35.5 per cent of national income. A relatively high level of prosperity is necessary to maintain this huge flow of money into governmental enterprises. If national productivity sags for length of time, we will be smothered in debt ate Polit I Loan (Washington Post) The 1 of Senator Johnson of Colorado to directly to American investors instead of extending a credit through the me the Government is both impracticable and inexpedient For lln pre d British credit cannot be treated as ary commercial loan. It is a political loan that no priv estor should be asked to| in whole or in part e explained, the amount in- volved is mmh too la be floated in this market as a private loan. Moreover, the credit is designed to) enable Britain to enter into certain commercial and | fin: proposs well as to hers. From the viewpoint of our national interests, the advance is a form of investment that will yield big dividends of a nonmonetary sort. But judged by strictly commercial standards, the loan would be a highly risky form of investment for private citizens. That f is officially “recognized svisions for suspension of interest payments, under certain conditions, and for a six-year deferment of all payments-of both principal and interést. The erican people could not be persuaded voluntarily to put their savings into this type of loan unless they were gt y deceived as to its character or else guar- anteed against loss by their own Government For some time to come openings for foreign loans of a type suitable for private investment will be severly limited by the political, financial and eco- nemic uncertainties of the postwar adjustment period. After the first World War American investors were induced by high-pressure salesmanship to put their money into foreign obligations that proved to be bad risks. The result was wholesale defaults and heavy losses which endangered bitterness and ill will in the borrowing countries as well as in the United States To prevent a repetition of those tragic blunders, it is essential to distinguish between foreign loans of a kind that the Government may properly make as a matter of policy and foreign loans that entail no more than legitimate risks for private investors. any | in the| Am- | The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued frem Page One) minal pay, provided he has been out of the country for two years, and so on up the line. NEW YORK STRIKE If Michael Quill, head of the Transport Workers Union, had the same double-headed job in Wash- ington that he has in New York, he would face Federal prosecution Quill is a member of the New York City Council, but simultaneously attempting to bargain with the City Council on behalf of his Union. Un- der Federal statutes, no Congress- man can represent the Government and at the same time take a case against the Government. One late Senator, Ralph Burton of Kansas, was elapped into jail for this. Con- gressman, Gene Cox of Georgia was recommended for criminal “prosecution by Assistant Attorney General ‘Wendell Berge, but a kind- ly Attorney General (Francis Bid- dle) failed to prosecute. In New York, Quill considers himself a law unto himself. . . . Mayor O'Dwyer’s brother happens to be a lawyer re- presenting many left-wing labor groups, some accused of following the Communist Party line. Mayor O'Dwyer himself is a bosom friend of Quill, who not only helped clect him but went to the West Coast twice {one trip und an umed name) to urge O'Dwyer to run. O'Dwyer was about to accent the jeb later given to.D Nelson as head of the Im t Motion Picture Produ sceiation Toxas natural gas men are about the only people looking ahead re- gardinz atomic energy.

His coal wages, now second highest in the countr increased further are likely to con- vert more factories from coal to oil and hatural gas. 3 RAILROAD STRIKE President Truman last week de- clined to meet with representatives of operating railroad brotherhoods whose wage-increase demands are now being arbitrated in Chicago. There was no publicity about it, but Truman sent a polite telegram to Bert M. Jewell, President of the Railway Employee Department of the AFL, and Harry W. Fraser, President of the Order of Rallway Conductors, stating thai it wouldn't be proper for him to meet with them. Truman pointed out that it appear he was taking sides if he talked to Jewell and Fraser during the arbitration proceedings, unless he met with management spokes- men also. He informed the brother- hood chiefs that he didn't wisn w meet with either side while their dispute was under negotiation. is gu However, the President did grant | a special conference last week to E. F. Whitney, chief of the Broth- {erhod of Railway Trainmen, and | Alvaney Johnston, chief of the Brotherhood of Railway Engineers. They refused to go along with other | railway labor leaders in the nego- tiation of wage demands which threaten to pa ze rail transpor- tation and throw more than 1,000~ 000 railway workers out of employ- ment. Whitney and Johnston bluntly in- formed Truman that their unions would agree to the arbitration for- mula approved by the other rail- road brotherhoods, because it did not include negotiation of all dis- putes. It merely applied to wage denx 1ds Since the entire railroad industry will be paralyzed if the trainmen, represented by Whitney, and the engineers, represented by Johnston, strike, this leaves the President only one alternative—to appoint an emergency board to settle the de- mands of these two unions. BIG THREE PORTRAIT Winston Churchill has been pa- tiently posing foy his portrait at the Miarhi Surf Club—a portrait which may become historic. Paint- ed by Douglas Chandor, it will por- tray the Big Three at the Yalta Conference. Chandor had finished the rough outline of Roosevelt be- fore he died, ut still has to put in Churchill and Stalin. The por- trait may be placed in the Capitol. . .. Says GOP Senator Vanden- berg of Michigan regarding the wife of the late Democratic Presi- dent: “Mrs. Roosevelt did a finer job than any of us in cementing American international relations, at . the same time protecting the inter- ests of the United States™ . Among other things, Mrs. Roose- velt supported Senator Connally of Texas in defending the American Federation of Labor. . . . Housing Czar Wilson Wyatt will soon halt all non-essential building construc- tion, including office buildings, warehouses, high-cost homes, night clubs, bowling alleys, and race tracks. Congressman Gene Cox of Georgia, considered a fixture on Capitol Hill since m newsmen can remember, will face tough op- position this year. A war veteran, Marvin Griffin, may take him on. MR. IUKES' SUCCESSOR The name of J. A, Krug had not figured in the spkculation on Har- old Ickes' successor until President Truman sprang his surprise an- nouncement on Tuesday. But as early as Aug. 10 last year, Drew Pearson wrote this significant indi- cation of what was brewing: “WPB Chairman ‘Cap’ Krug has joined the lobby ‘of ambitious Ickes-oust- ers. He has been up in New York trying to mobilize support to step into Ickes’ shoes.” "RETARY OF THE NTERIOR J. A. “Cap” Krug is one of the first products of Government to as- sume high office.

On at least one oc- casion, he raised cain with WPB Vice Chairman Sam Anderson of Lehman Bros. who planned to di- vert a small amount of steel away from civilian reconversion. the war ended, Krug made his chief mistake. He decided (1) that the Nation would have unbounded amounts of material and (2) that we needed no more controls. He took this stand publicly and his colleagues in the Government still are throwing it up to him—espec- jally when it comes to housing. . . On one occasion. Krug prepared an article for the New York Times which War Mobilizer Fred Vinson, now Secretary of the Treasury, held up and drastically modified. Krug was ready to toss all controls over- board. Vinson cautioned, however, that they could not be released overnight. Krug played a part in the bitter battle over power between David Lilienthal, head of TVA, and Ickes. Harry Hopkins and Lilienthal were determined that Ickes should not for control all Government power pro- | jects, and picked Krug to hold the strategic job of WPB power execu- tive as an offset to Ickes. . . .Now that Krug is Secretary of the In- terior, the Government’s giant pow- er projects, such as Bonneville, Boulder Dam, Grand Coulee and the Tenn e Valley may be placed under one executive: . Krug has been pulling wires ‘to get the In- terior Department job for months.
