WAR IS PROFITLESS—OR SHOULD BE. re It is not given to us to understand all the factors which brought us from a world power, check-mating Fascism in World War II, to a punty ten-division nation faced with bulge-muscled Communism in 1950. j is . None of us knows if better leadership, more acutely aware of the check-and-balance history of world order, could have remained on the crest of power to offset rival power from 1945 to 1950. None of us can tell if the signs of trouble in Korea dating back to 1946 and the signs of trouble in Berlin dating back to 1946 should not have meant more to clear-eyed statesmen than it has meant to practical politicians bent on staying in office. In fact few of us can claim much more foresight individually than has been dsplayed nationally. Certainly a portion of the grave error of the past half-decade has been of our making, from the momma-vote which got Johnnie home by Christmas (1945) without providing for Junior to replace him in uniform, to the. business-as-usual ote and the labor vote which had to be coddled for domestic political advantage~, oe J Cause being lost to our ken, and effect being heaped upon us with such weight that we are faced with a second phase of World War II no better. prepared than in 1941, all that is left to us is the carrying out of orders of military command or bureau policy. But, though hind-sight is often scorned, we can expect that by an examination of the mistakes made in running a nation under one emergency government, our leaders can avoid the same mistakes in operation of another emergency situation approaching martial rule. Although our president sometimes seems to ‘be a small-bore Nero-at-the-piano, we ‘can hope that he and his advisors have examined the period 1939 to 1945 with critical-inspection of the value of the cost-plus contract, profiteering, overtime-on-overtime, featherbedding and duplication onthe job, tle disgrace of black market operations and other companions of a wartime ecenomy which make a mockery of patriotism and sacrifice in the field. Naturally labor and capital need incentive to produce; the dogface in the mud and snow gets his incentive from fear of losing his life if he fails. : Naturally the overtime-on-overtime buttering of palms gets the planes built; the boys who fly them aren’t in a position to say “my contract calls just for flying the aireplane; you'll have’ to get e man from another union to fire the guns and another man to drop the bombs.” Naturally the cost-plus ‘contract is a plum worth the while of ship builders to secure; the crew that takes that ship through a mine field knows only one profit: to stay alive and thus protect your life. Naturally a black-market operator will rise from the muck to take advantage of short-sighted consumers; the kid making a beach head landing may cost the government $15,000, which will shoot even higher if grab and greed blow the inflationary balloon fatter and fatter. We have a rigid law for drafting men to do our fighting for us. We pay them a fixed amount for their services, which is putting a price tag on their lives. We tell them where they will. go, against what superior force they will fight, what weapons we will give them—and we don’t allow them the privilege of democratic decision if they think the orders are wrong. : We have a draft law for war because voluntary enlistments just -won’t do the job. We lay down military law fore the operation of an army because under wartime conditions the luxury of taking a vote is absurd. é Profits and wages should be as severely drafted; contracts and union regulations contrary to the best interest of preserving a nation should be as expendable. ‘ For the reason that today anesarmy is not an entity separate from the national government we will remain free or slave upon the ability of that army successfully to withstand Communism. We cannot ask of soldiers that they display patriotism while dying and at the same time make millionaires of manufacturers and provide Cadillac-wages for cotton pickers turned welders. The national poverty of hard-headed leadership to retain the advantages gained for us at the end of World War II must not be allowed to provide again a division of effort in which one portion of our people fight and die for freedom while another portion of our people grab and connive for exorbitant personal gain. If a national emergency is cause enough to get our boys prepared to die, it is cause enough to crack down with full force upon those who would use our dire plight as a lever to extract usurious percentages from the nation’s war-bank. And if the president and his advisors are not aiming straight and true at the target of national salvation and preservation of the freedoms and liberties of enlightened mankind, while at the same iteering in all its ugly forms, then we must act through our congressiona) representatives to bring an end to sloppy and expedient management of a nation in grave peril.For the United States of America is not only our land and our government, it is our life. We must grow strong and we must aim straight to keep a ruthless enemy in check. There is no moment in this threatening time for waste and greed and self seeking. And there is no place for soft headedness or profits as usual, . politics as usual. > We cannot fail, even by degree.—scissored from the Placerville Mountain Democrat. A BOUQUET FOR THE POSTOFFICE STAFF Taking things “easy” by returning to normal volume, the clerks and carriers of William J. Wasley’s postoffice staff have earned a well-deserved bouquet of praise and thanks from their The: Nevada City postoffice remained open evenings as long as there were customers that last hectic week before Christmas.

If the bill is signed ipto law it is estimated the states will receive $1,351,149 of which California’s share is approximately $127,000.
