This sales campaign from the war drive when sales quotas were established ssues and the public was urged to invest in order to further the war effort. This time the emphasis is on self-interest. The public is being asked to invest in savings bonds because they are sound investments and also because the investment process cuts down the volume of idle money and bank deposits that, coupled with other inflationary factors, con- stitute a growing menace to the price structure peacetime Inde- differs The Treasury is for various types of The chief purpose of the current campaign is not simply to sell more bonds during the next month than would have been sold in the absence of a special appeal. It is rather to impress upon the public the importance of systematic saving. With price control in jeopardy and goods scarcities aggravated by the strike epidemic, there never has been a time when national interest as well as individual welfare called more imperatively for spending restraint on the part of the people. For the amount of money in circula- tion is now more than three times the total at the end of 1940; demand deposits in banks have soared from about 35 billion dollars to 75 billlion dollars during the same period, and time deposits have risen from 28 billion to 50 billion. This huge volume of fluid funds constitutes a reserve of spending power that is potentially highly inflationary. If the public can be induced to put more of its cash reserves in Government bonds, however, the danger of inflation will be sensibly diminished, pro- vided sdles of new bond issues are not offset by redemptions of bonds on hand. During the first five months of this year sales of savings bonds totaled approximately 3.4 billion dollars while redemptions amounted to 2.8 billion dollars with the result that met sales amounted to only 629 million dollars. Post- Wwar emergency expenditures, wage losses caused by strikes, tax payments, etc, doubtless account for the [Ma\,\' show a drop in the redemption total, and we trust |that the campaign just starting will accelerate the {(]()\\‘umu-d redemption trend, giving renewed impetus |to the purchase of savings bonds “for keeps.” The idea of paratroop invasion is neither new nor, as some have supposed, particularly Russian. Benjamin Franklin, on January 16, 1784, wrote: “Five thousand balloons, capable of raising two men each, could not | cost more than five ships of the line, and where is the | prince who can afford so to cover his country with | troops for its defense as that 10,000 men descending |from the clouds might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief before a force could be brought together to repeal them?” Principles of Peace (New York Times) As a member of the United Nations, the United States has umed the obligation to use its power and influence in collaboration with cther nations to defend the peace against aggression or any threat of ag- gression. In the alliance now publicly proposed by Secretary Byrnes it is ready to assume even more fic obligations to safeguard the peace against a 1 of German or Japanese militarism. These are revolutionary changes in America foreign policy which run counter to all its traditions and are therefore not made lightly. They are, in fact, the only dis- cernible major changes being effected in the foreign policy of any great Power. And though they are the i fruit of the bitter lessons of the war, and are being made in this country’s own best interest, they will fall short of their purposes unless other nations irealize their full significance and their implications. The cardinal fact of its new foreign policy is that | the United States is assuming the obligation to defend |a peace which must still »e made. It must be made not by the United States alone, but in collaboration with other Powers whese conflicting interests and ambitions have not only delayed peace but threatened at some points to corrupt it. A total war which ended in the total collapse of our enemies, coupled with the necessity of safeguarding the world against new ag- g jon with weapons capable of wiping out civiliza- tion, has already changed the tasks of the diplomats, who must now deal not with the shift of a province or two, but with problems that are world-wide. Yet, in essentials, their task is still the same that has con- fronted peacemakers everywh and at all times, and that is to establish a peace which will endure. Thus far all peace conferences, apparently includ- ing the present one in Paris, have been so dominated by power politics that their most conspicuous feature has been the complete absence of any guiding prin- !ciples. Borders are being moved about, not to fit !the will of the populations, but rather the strategic or other interests of the various Powers, and the populations are moved about to fit the borders. Whole nations are subjected to regimes to which the vast majority of their populations are violently opposed, | or are forced into economic blocs that may mean their final ruin. Matters may change in this respect, but |to date the only principle that emerges from the con- ference is that of the horse market, in which even the American alliance must be offered in trade in the | effort to save what can be saved. | There is no danger that the United States will fall back into a futile isolation, but there is danger that #f other nations insist on a peace which the | United States cannot defend it may be forced by circumstances to make separate treaties in ®l- laboration with nations willing to keep their wartime pledges. It is fair to ask other Powers to weigh care- !fully whether it is more important for them to have | full and unreserved American support in the enforce- ment of a general world peace or whether they prefer |individual expansion and aggrandizement. They can- not well have both. Logic is a wonderful thing. For instance, there undoubtedly are people who hate Franco so much that | they refuse to eat Spanish omelet. upswing in redemptions.

RAPIDO RIVER WHITEWASH When Senator Tom Connally re- furns from Paris, he will probably ‘hit the ceiling when he discovers that the Senate Military Affairs Committee approved the tion of Mark Clark to be a per- manent major general without hearing from a single “eyeball wit- ness” regarding the Rapido River disaster. Other senators, while not entirely supporting Connally, are ‘glad he made the move. *4Clark’s nomination, pending with those of 35 other general officers, brought Connally before the Com- mittee along with Texas members| of the badly-mutilated 26th Divi- &ion which tried to storm the swiit- Alowing Italian river. When Committee Chairman El- bert Thomas of Utah promised a ‘fyll report on the incident from the War Department before a vote was taken on Clark’s promotion, Senator Connally objected. “You know what youll get from the War Department. A white- wash!” he sneered. “Why don’'t you call some eyeball witnesses?” Connally proved to be absolutely right. Subsequently, Major General Wilton Persons, legislative liaison reported to the Military| Affairs Committee on the Rapido crossing, explaining that although a costly operation and not success- ful in opening the way to a gen- eral advance beyond the river, it had actually succeeded in its main purpose—namely, drawing German strength from the Anzio beachhead. _Were it not for the diversion cre- by the 36th Division, Per- s said, there was grave danger fat the Anzio landing might have | marking that he hoped American War, ! his way nomina- | never all remain carefully troops will mever have to fight in guarded War Department secrets.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Chain stores once more will be- come a popular topic as goods flow back to the shelves of retail stores throughout the country. The main effort of the alert independent will not be to resist the spread and activities of chains, but to discov- er means of competition. Friend- ly, helpful service is sometimes in greater demand than are low prices. NATIONAL ISSUES The earning power of money is lower in this country today than ever before and probably will go lower still. Those with money to in- vest find it hardly worth while to put their money to work, unless they are willing to run the risks of speculation. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Regardless of how confusing the |present picture may be, a disarm- iament program will get under way |within a few years.
