OUR RETURNING VETERANS
> Veterans of World War II already are returning to Civilian life, by the tens of thousands, and it must be obvious now
_to every thinking citizen that their rehabilitation calls for immediate action and ‘can no longer be considered a post-war
problem. i
On the Pacific Coast, more than 17,000 service men have
been discharged thus far from Army and Navy hospitals—
10,000 or more in California. And it is now estimated that in
the nation at large approximately 70,000 men are bsi-7~ dis-.

makes the problem of getting started in civilian life difficult.

program to aid these men who have offered their lives in defense of their country. Congress has mustering out bills pending which would authorize payments to veterans varying
give the man who gets his discharge today or tomorrow:
Many former service men, as a matter of fact, favor continuance of service pay for a period of six months or more, rather
then cash allotments. But they all agree on ore point—that
w! atever is done the need is now, not some vague day in the
future.
A FLAME GOES OUT:
Russia’s recent repudiation of the Internationale, fiery
rallying song of the Communists, lifted a ‘thorn from the sides
ofconservatives and peaceful thinkers throughout the world.
The music, bellowed ‘by. the whole generation of “red”’
exhorters and echoed loudly by audiences of flat heeled women convinced the world revolution should start right here in
America, was not half bad as such things go. But the lyrics,
calling “ye prisoners of starvation, ye wretched of the world”
of the old, offended practically everybody but the red hots.
Since the song of world revolution was written, the Russian people have battled.a ruthless, foreign aggressor on their.
own beloved soil, and for years ahead, they will be occupied
in getting their country back in shape again. Logically enough
the Council of Peoples Commissars has decided the old Internationale does not express the feeling of the Russian people today. A new Soviet national anthem already has been
announced. a e
Songs, like battle standards, have led the people of every
country in every. age on their crusades. When finally their
cause is won, lost or forgotten, the songs, too, pass into history. The dousing of the inflammatory old Internationle is as
good an indication as we have seen that the Russian seat of
‘Communism admittedly expect to have its hands too full with
its own war and post war problems to nurture revolutionary
fires over here.

that’s about t* e only dark spot in the picture, according to the
agricultural director. _ . ee
Packing houses are full of meat and not operating anywhere near capacity, reports Cecil. Vegetables are being produced in sufficient quantities to meet present needs. California chickens will lay as many eggs during 1944 as they did
during 1943—-when a new record was set. And it now appears
that point rationing of fresh milk“will not be necessary.
: We are happy to have this reassuring report from Driector of Agriculture Cecil. Now if Washington will only let well
enough alone, and not try to improve too much on Mother
Nature's program, perhaps the New Year won't be quite so
hectic as the year we've just left. behind us! .
Me SOUTH SEA BLUES
The South Séas will never be the same again. That’s one
of the many things this war has done. According to letters we
have seen from thé boys ‘“‘out there;’’*the native girls don’t
begin to measure up to Dorothy Lamour standards—and sarongs will never have the same appeal again. Nor is that all. A
news dispatch-from ‘‘somewhere in the South Pacific’ reports
that straying marines, who came upon a band of ‘wild: lookig natives holding a tribal celebration, found them singing
“You Are My Sunshine’, “A Bicycle Built for Two,’ and
“Carry Me Back to Old Virginny.”
Hollywood, we fear, will have to find a new locale for
those romantic screen portrayals of beautiful maids and godlike men, living in some glorious Eden unsullied by civilization. And we wonder where they'll find it!
SUBSIDIES ARE
INFLATIONARY
SAYS CHAMBER
SAIN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.—Members of the: California State Chamber of Commerce are strongly urged
to express their views to California
representatives in congress opposing
price roll backs and subsidies in a
quire issuance of additional bonds
which will not be redeemed for a
great many years, during which tinle
interest must accumulate.
‘Consumers now enjoy the greatest
purchasing power ever attained in
this country and are better able to
drain off excess purchasing power
through purchase of foods. at their
proper level. :. =
The subsidies proposed will require a very large and costly administrative organization.

subsidy plan are very active.
The position of the state chamber
in opposing the subsidy program is
based upon the following points:
_ Subsidies and roll backs will be of
no actual benefit to the consumer
‘because what is put into one pocket
must necessarily be taken from another.
These measures are actually inpointed out, and proponents of the}.

Subsidies offer the possibility and
the temptation for political exploitation.
Subsidies have been used over the
[centuries in many Jands and have
failed in every instance.
