unless price controls are enforced.
Mr. Henderson also recommends
higher taxes and a campaign to
sell more defense bonds as needed
to help prevent inflation. His the-
ory is that prices go up because
people have more money to spend
and if they reinvest that money
in the government their demand
for luxury products will be de-
creased. That, he believes, will
prevent drastic prices increases.
Debate over the measure to ex-

| Most congressmen agree that it
would be ridiculous practically to
disband the army at this time, but
a good many also have a feeling |
of guilt over breaking their oon-;
tract with the selectees, who be-
lieved they would be sent home
after a year’s training. They
know that provisions in the law
make it possible to continue ser-
vice because of the emergency,
but all the same they feel many of
the million young men in service
will consider that something has
been put over on them.
It is expected the men who are
over 28 years old may be sent
home in view of the more recent
measure defering service of men
in this age group. It is also be-
lieved steps will be taken to in-
sure jobs to the men in camp af-
ter their service in the army is
completed.
The opposition to the property
seizure bill has been considerably
lessened by revisions in the meas-
ure which limit seizures of prop-
erty to property needed for the
manufacture of defense equip-
ment an dsupplies. The measure,
in its revised form, also puts a
time limit on the power of the
President to control private prop-
erty. It provides that the govern-
ment pay a fair price for any
property it seizes and directs the
government to sell the property
back to the original owner by
Juno 30, 1943.
Some congressmen fear the
fact that administration spokes-
men in the senate opposed includ-
ing a provision in the seizure
measure for a specific prohibi-
tion against the seizure of any
newspaper or radio station, in-
terpreting the opposition to such !
a prohibition as intimating the
administration might consider
such seizures. But most congress-
men felt that such a specific pro-
