By HUGO S. SIMS, Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen DEFENSE CONTRACTS TO PREVENT INFLATION ARMY “OVER THE HUMP” LEARNING WAR LESSONS PLANNING NEW CAMPS It should be understood that the Treasury program of increased taxation has been suggested with the “idea of constituting a strong} deterrent on prices and _ infla-| tion”. Officials realize that civil-| ian buying will soon “outstrip” the output of civilian consumer goods and that in order to avoid | a “runaway rise in all living} costs”, some way must be found to cut down the volume of civil- ian spending. Increased taxation and heavy borrowing out of oe savings of the public is expected} to retard increased prices. new National Army is “over the hump”, says General George C. Marshall, Chief-of- Staff, who told a congressional committee that 1,250,000 men are} “properly organized”, receiving | effective training and exhibting the “highest morale I've ever seen”. The Before the General appeared, there had been discussions and} some criticism of the high cost of cantonments, but General Mar- shall immediately assumed “per- sonal responsibility” for changes which added materially to the|* cost. These, he said, were done to maintain and increase the morale of the soldiers.
