It wasn't until 190§ that taxpayers finished pay- ing off the last dependent of a Revolutionary War veteran. The Mexican War has been over for 100 vears, but there are 45 dependents of disabled veter: of that war collecting pensions. Eighty three vet- erans and 17,895 dependents of the Civil War still are ccllecting pensions: there are 797 veterans and 2,278 | dependents from the Indian Wars, which from 1790 to 1898, on thez government rolls yet; the Spanish-American War has 112,355 veterans and 80,- 679 dependents. For the wars that most of us can remember, there are 438,121 veterans an d 389232 de- pendents of World War I getting govern ment aid and 1712696 veterans and 416,370 dependents on the service-connected disability list for World War IIL Commenting on the cost of these pensions, the writer who compiled the figures says: “Thus far the postwar cost for payments to veterans and dependents | of the Civil War—now about $8,200,000,000--tops the But World War I is catching up rapidly with . World War (I? It hasn't list about $5,800,000,000 gotten a good start.” Figures like these offer pretty dramatic evidence of the fact that it costs a great deal more to ‘ight a war than simply paying the bills for guns, bullets, airplanes and battleships. The Role of France (New York Times) Though London revorts a “startling,” mercurial, change of attitude cn the part of Soviet Union regarding an Austrian settlement, are faced with the fact that discussions of the much more important question of Germany have broken ! down completely, and that for practical purposes the Big Four has now become the Big Three. In these circumstances France holds the key to the next devel- opments in Europe.

It is for France to say bow promptly, and on how promis this necessary merger will take place. But above beyond this immediate question of the w of Germany, there are other great fie n which the role of France seems certain to b: | de ve.

Among these sixteen nations France he chief continental Power, and the leadership it in large measure detertmine the de i the Marshall Plan achieves deliberations of the now extinet Big Four, France has often seemed to play a hesitant, negative ineffective role.

The soning was that the phonographs and juke boxes were putting Mr. Petrillo’s boys out of work. As long as the recording companies were paying royalties to the ! American Federaticn of Musiclans on every record made, Mr. Petrillo tolerated the competition of canned music. However, such royalties have been made illegal under the terms of the Taft-Hartley Act But now Mr. Petrillo by an ingenious stroke of logic, has decided that the Taft-Hartley Act is not ! retroactive, and does not in anv way impair the validity of contracts made before the p: e of the act. Therefore, the recording companies, although | they will get no new records from the boys, must go | on paying the rovalties on all records pressed from the master records made when the cont s were in This would mean the continuation of an un- a force. | earned revenue of approximately two miilion dollars year It sieps Mr. Petrillo not clear precisely what intends to take to enforce the payment. One DOs- sibility, of course, is that he will forbid performances | by any members of his union on any program to be broadcast over any network which includes any sta- tion which plays records on which the royalties are in default. But, although until now the radio and recording companies have thown themselves some- | what invertebrate in their contests with Mr. Petrillo, it seems unlikely that they would yield to this sort of intimidation without a struggle The probability is that they will take the matter | ! into court. But even though the courts might decree | the payment of the royalties to be illegal, this would have little effect on the concrete situation. Their only | course is in being as intransigeant as Mr. Petrillo | himself; in other words, to play whatever recordings | are available and to let Mr. Petrillo and his boys make lmc muxl of it ! ambassadors of good will 6.
