And it is now estimated that in the nation at large approximately 70,000 men are bsi-7~ dis-. cherged ‘~-m thecsarmed forces each month, of whom sli zhtly mere than 25 rer.cent are wounded. time, is not acute, as thousands of the men are being absorbVice virtually periniless and the absence of mustering ovt pay makes the problem of getting started in civilian life difficult. ‘And for the wounded or disabled there is the much more critired tape often leave a big gap between the time the wounded re-establishing himself on a self-supporting basis. to spend billions for far less worthy objectives—simply cannot countenance continued delay in working out an adequate . : . 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. ie ——— With the Hun on the way out, there is unusual cause for rejoicing this New Year’s of 1944.

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. ‘Many Ration Books: At The authority for*thet cheerful news is state director 0° . . to our national debt, and will. re-. letter sent today to all members by James Musatti, general manager. The/ important issue, now before congress is being sharply contested, Mussatti 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}. flationary since they add huge sums Subsidies established are almost invariably increased during an emergehoy and aré extremely difficult to eliminate following ‘that period, 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. Fort. Funston in San Francisco is named after Major General Frederick Funston; commanding general of the troops who policed the city after the 1906 disaster. 0 . 150 Mill Street NEW YEARS GREETINGS FROM .
