The inquiry board, headed by Lt.
Gen Doolittle, in its report to Sec-
retary of War Patterson, proposed
a thorough revision of existing dif-
ferences in pay, promotion, fur-
loughs and food. It called, too, for
new measures aimed at raising the
standard of leadership in the army.
Secretary Patterson announced
that “some steps already have been
taken” to-remedy problems set out
in the report. He stated that con-
gressional approval and appropria-
tions would be required to carry out
a few of the suggesttons.
Officers and Saluting.
. But the big break with. tradition
came in the proposal that all mili-
tary personnel be referred to mere-
ly as “soldiers.”
Abolition of the hand salute
except on army posts and in
overseas occupied areas, and
wiping out any rules or customs
which make rank a barrier to
social associations, were among
other recommendations.

ning June 26 which purports to “un-
veil" the intricacies of professional
political campaigning to the aver-
age voter.” The school will be open
to anyone; attendance will be lim-
ited to 500 students. NC - PAC
says "it is believed that the ma-
jority of the student body will play
an active role in the November con-
gressional elections.".
Of course, there are various other
organizations, old and new, in the
field. The Young Republicans, for
example, who endorsed the ROF at
a recent national convention; Mr.
Ickes’ Independent Citizens Com-
I mittee of the Arts, Sciences and
Professions to which James Roose-
velt presumably brings a hereditary
parental blessing, and others.
And I shouldn’t fail to men-
tion the Women’* Division of
the Democratic National com-
mittee, which teaches wives of
politicos such fundamentals as
platform poise, the right word
at the right time, how to over-
come fear of public speaking,
and so on. Wives of cabinet of-
ficers, wives of senators, wives
of representatives, wives of
members of the little cabinet
and wives of top-flight agency
heads are exhorted: "Use your
feminine charm in the (Demo-
cratic) campaign. It helped you
get your husband, didn’t it? It
will also help get votes.”
But these are only mother’s help-
ers. The PAC twins, and the ROF
are the ones that make the don-
key and the elephant nervous when
they look over their left flanks.
LABOR DRAFT:
Senate Is Opposed
Many senate Republicans, even
those who have been calling on
President Truman to "settle these
strikes,” are opposed to the Presi-
dent’s appeal for emergency power
to draft striker? into the army when
they refuse to work at government-
seized properties. Senator Taft of
Ohio has led the fight against the
draft proposal and favors the Case
bill instead. (The Case bill provides

a one dark-horse team. However,
a broad-minded tolerance prevails
which permits Democrats to take
part in forums, if they want to.
The forums are compared to town
meetings, and are supposed to pro-
vide members of the party with the
opportunity to form party policy.
At that point comes the rub. Old
Timers don’t want Mr. Stassen’s
outfit (which its director insists it
isn’t) making policy. They feel
they have had enough experience in
such matters themselves.
Anyhow, ROF is a going concern.
As of mid-May, there were already
474 forums in operation in 44 states.

Wages are at the top of the in-

for congressmen. One of the best
arguments for a boost in the con- l
gressional payroll comes from a
congressmen whom I won’t name,
but whose bitterest rivals mention
as one of the smartest members of
either chamber. He says:
"The vote against -a pay raise
comes from the men who know
that they couldn't get elected, if
congressional salaries were high
enough to attract a better class of
candidates to oppose them.”
Philip Broughton, ex-newspa-
perman and political scientist
who has spent a decade in
Washington, says, in his "For a
Stronger Congress,” that every
independent student of congres-
sional reorganization has “rec-
ommended a raise to $15,000 or
$25,000 a year. Certainly, it
would seem that the same pub-
lic which can afford $500 a week
for the writers of Grade B
movie scenarios can afford a
similar sum for those who set
policies that control our nation-
al life.”

Washington, Broughton points out, '
knows that that isn’t enough. A
congressman has to maintain two

sides, he has to contribute to "the '
do-good organizations that claim a
root in his consttuency," and “sec- ;
retarial expenses and meager rail-
road mileage do not balance his
family budget.”
The thing that pains me most
as I travel up and down the land is
to hear the very people who scream

$10,000 a year, object - to paying
enough to hire a man with "ability.

ish parliament you might say.
The majority of theFrnch
electorate was not fowled.
Every time the Communists go
to the electorate, it seems, they are
being rejected. In the French ref-
erendum on the subject last Octo-
ber, their proposal for a weak ex-
ecutive was defeated, although they
succeeded in electing the largest
bloc of delegates to the convention.
In the connivances of international
conferences and domestic political
dickering, the Moscovites have
won the most ground, but at the
ballot box they have proved weak.
Labor Bans Communists.
Less conspicuous events than the
French election disclose their forced
retreat with even greater clarity. A
spare three paragraphs in the Lon-
don Tinies recently revealed the de-
cision of the British Labor party to
ment is justified as a, temporary
strategic retreat. The decision could
favor CP face lifting, and superfi-
cial co-operation, but could hardly
run into genuine depths.
In these fundamental epr-
rents, some' are saying the
ultimate conflict will be be-
tween Socialism and Commu-
nism. But Socialism is a word
which has lost more of its orig-
_inaldefinitionthanCommunism.*
The Nazis were Socialists, so
were the Fascists. So is Russia.
The name of that Communist na-
tion is The Inion of Soviet So-
" cialist Republics. British Social-
ism, on the otherhand, clings to
law, the parliamentary system
and Democratic forms.

Republicans, however, have not

by Mr. Truman that profits from

by the government during strikes
should go into the U. S. treasury'.
FRENCH LOAN:
Cash and Credit
Bypassing a vote by congress,
the United States government ex-
tended a $1,370,000,000 credit to
France to help her being a four-
year reconstruction program. The
American credit provides a direct
loan of $650,000,000 from the export-
Import bank, and a line of credit
totaling $720,000,000 which would
permit France to settle its lend-
lease account and purcahse U. S.
army and navy surpluses overseas.
The present outstanding loan vok
ume is nearly double the amount or
farm production loans held by the
banks in 1937.
The largest increase in the use of ,
non-real-estate bank credit has been
in California. The use of bank cred-
it by farmers increased in all states
except South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Minnesota and Missouri,
FEDERAL DEBT:
Cut Ten Billion * "
A survey by a large New York I
banking institution discloses that '
actual and prospective federal debt
reduction since March 1, 1946,
amounts to more than 10 billion dol-
lars. This is the largest cut ever
made in so short a time and is an
amount greater than the total debt
retirement achieved in an 11-year
period following- World War I. -
The repayment, however, was not
made with the proceeds of a budget
surplus, since the U. S. is still spend-
ing more than it receives from
taxes. Excess borrowed funds in
possession of the/. S. treasury were
returned to redc the debt, it was
