WASHINGTON April Mn Roosevelt left out the most im portant' point his statement protesting congressional repeal of his $25000 salary limitation He built up a case of how awful it is that anyone could make more than $25000' a year in wartime when others are" sacrificing their lives' and work for so much less That is the CIO case 'They built up the idea that big salaries an unfair to the poor man The opposite happens to be true as can be proved This $25000 salary limitation would cost the government $100 000000 a year in taxes The peo treasury the poor treasury would lose that colossal in wartime when Mr Mor genthau is scraping for every cent he can get This $100000000 de ficiency would have to be meC not by the rich but by the CIO work ers and others who would have to pay more taxes' The estimate of this $100000000 tax cost has been furnished by Colin Stam chief expert of the joint congressional committee on taxation an impartial authority and also the best ar better for the poor man it will now be as the 1 high salaried man will be permitted to earn without limit and the treasury will take most of it away from him in taxes Actually those who above $25000 net after taxes be allowed to retain 10 20 or 30 per cent of what they make above that figure The government will get the 70 80 or 90 per cent of their earnings If it tried to 4 get all 'obviously the big movie actor the outstanding lawyer or profes sional man 'would just earn his $25000 and quit Ask me why the government made such a foolish proposal or the CIO endorsed it and I cannot Perhaps' some political advantagemight accrue to those espousing any action against high wage earners even at the cost of $100000000 to the government' in a year True also the average man does not stop to figure: these things out At any rate the move to limit salaries is now dead by congres sional action Let one erect over Its grave any false notion that it would have helped the poor map or anyone else While Vice President Wallace is betterknown for his quart of milk a day he once said months ago that our military expenditures after "this war would have to be to $20000000000 a year 'Some talk that our two ocean navy will have to be a four ocean navy and air force explains this tremendous figure more than 20 times i as much as we spent for defense in our slumbering days after the last war But whether defense is to cost $20000000000 a year or not the new debt increase' bill which the president let beedpae 5 law without his signaturejbecayse of hisrobi jection to salary Aider shows what a tremendously ex pensive government we will have When the debt' rises to 000000000 the interest" costs to the treasury: will be "more than $5000000000 a year nearly enough to run two whole United States governments in the Cool idge era Executive and administrative costs lately have averaged about $7000000000 Consequently gov even "without defense cost $12000000000 a year or $2000000000 more than the new dealers ever spent in their wildest spending year before' the war If you add on to this only 25 per cent of estimate and place defense costs at $5OQOOOO 000 a year you will have an an nual federal budget of $17000000 twice the size of the average new deal spending outlay 'House Waysand Means Com mittee Chairman 'Doughton was wined and dined at home recently and therefore eame back

for talk is heard in republican circles for the first time One 'of the favorite sons privately lists MacArthur as his personal candidate (does not want his name used yet) What brought this talk: out was the Stimson order designed to prevent anyone in the army from running for a political office other than he now holds or held when placed on active duty The order thus helped the MacArthur idea If

re tail distribution Industry may be relieved 'of some of the voluminous regulatory red tape which Is now hampering operationThis means if it actually occurs that merchants canspend more time the needs of customers ancL less time filling out govern ment blanks It would also mean that the regulatory authorities are beginning 4o realize a smooth functioning retail distribution system is essential in these critical days The distribution industry has pleaded for simplification of rationing ana price controls Retailersare desperately short of able em ployes But attainment of greater operating efficiency has'been difficult because of cum bersome government regulations If streamlined operating rules for "the merchant are actually in the making they will not come a moment too soon The next' step should be prompt clarification of the draft status of key employes Merchants farmers and business men will give everything they if "need be to win the war But Jf5 their efforts are to succeed government must give too It must give cooperation and intelligent control DUTY Early indications are that this drive for the sale of war bonds will go over the top with a rush in spite of the vast total aimed at There is a new spirit Instead of buying merely as a duty people seem eager to make their pledges Nearly all of them' know by this time what the war is about andf' that it has to be fought not merely yrith patriotic emotion but with money You hear less about Many peo ple cheerfully ask or they realize now what they are not their money It is really a pleasant form of bookkeeping They' lend their money for the best security on earth to make their lives and property secure And they do it in a way enables them to use the money when they need it MASTER MEDDLING INSTINCT of the most difficult of all the vir tues to "practice is tov keep our fingers out of other pies yet our failure to do this brings on wars wrecks liomes and makes countless thousands mourn We are willing to do everything else in the world for those we love except to let them alone We will slave for them sacrifice for' them give them our last penny but we will not deny our selves the pleasure of trying to boss them We want them to be happy and prosperous but they must" be happy and prosperous in our way or else we are bitterly hurt and disappointed Our insistence on the conduct of othersis' the! more Inexplicable because few of us have made such shining examples of success of qur own affairs that it entitles us to set the pattern for But per sonal achievement seems to have no bearing on the subject There a penniless tramp who tell the Secretary of the Treas ury exactly how to run the finances of the country There a dowdy woman who isn't hurt when her daughters refuse to let her pick out their clothes them This mania that we have for interfering in the affairs of others is at the bottom most of our troubles yet' curiously enough we do not realize it When some catastrophe happens to us such as losings a friend or our marriages going blooey or our children showing us no affection and trying to get away from us at the earliest possible mo ment we do not even recognize that if" is because' we did not keep our meddling hands off of them' The people who complain that they are lonely and that they have no friends never even suspect that it is because they made their friendship a tyranny The minute they established close relations with others they 'began dictating to them about how they should conduct their business and treat' their husbands and wives and whom they should know and what Vhey should have for dinner and no one would stand for It When Mother sees that Alice is drifting into old maidenhood and that Mary is 'a bitter disgruntled dissastisfied wife she understand how? it happened when they were such prettyattractive lighthearted girls he never dreams of blaming herself for it or thinks that if she kept Alice from marrying the' pbor boy she was so much inlove with and who has made so much money she might have been a happy wife riding in her own limousine instead of hopping buses to go to work every day And that if she urged Mary' into marrying a man she care ror just because he was a good catch she would not be yawning herself to death with boredom Nor does it occur to ather that the rea son John is a failure is because he tried to make him a lawyer when Nature had made him a mechanic and that if he had just let the boy follow his own inclinations he might have been an inventorand certainly he would have been a contented independent man instead of a do well who could never make a living That the refusal 'of husbands and to grant each other any personal liberty Is first aid to divorce Is a matter 'of common knowledge The wife raising ructions every time her husband stays downtown to have dinner with an old friend her ceaseless ad monitions about dropping cigarette ashes on floor her supervision of his diet and her generally treating him as If he were a moron have broken up more homes than sirens and drink combined Husbands feel ing tbit they have a right to make their wives literally obey them and ask their per mission to go to see Mother or buy a pink dress keeps thousands of women toying with the Idea of getting a ticket td Reno And there would be no In law problem if the parents on both sides wouldsay: you' pay childrenBe happy in your own you? own tastes Run your homes to suit yourselves It is your fight not mine" Strange IL when our personal liberty means more to each one of us than anything else on earth when our happiness consists so much in doing little things the way we want to do them that we are not willing to grant that privilege' to others We are not even willing to let them worship God ac cording to the dictates of their own con sciences 2 DOROTHY DIX "(Copyrlglj 1943)' Total Mobilization for War When the United States declared war on the Axis powjers all America went to war all industry went to in a total all out effort to wip and to win with the greatest possible speed The total mobilization of indus try has been a colossal task but it has been accomplished in an amazingly short time because American business is geared to the needs of the American people and industry provides what its people need come what may in peace or In war War does hot mean guns alone nor does it require only' ships' planes tanks shells and bombs It every facility of the American business system including news and information education insurance banking service electric power transportation gas' textiles 1 pharmaceuticals and dozens of other services which have been so adequately pro vided and at such great speed The stories of those industries which in addition' to carrying on accelerated
