EXPENDITURES ARE RAISING
Nearly ninety billion dollars were expended in
1943 for our war effort which was nearly seven times j
the total expenditures for 1941. I
If we were to give some thought to peacetime i
expenditures and taxes accordingly, perhaps we co- i
uld make greater peacetime headway in harmony j
with other nations of the world, through the discard- j
ding of such barriers between nations, as tarrifs for j
imports and exports which also tend to increase the j
living costs and hold back weaker nations, who in j
Other circumstances might otherwise be a trifle more
independent in their dealings with other nations or
In other words the richer countries with their nat
ional credit.
Still speaking of expenditures, recently the War
Department announcged they had clipped a cool
thirteen billion off the 1944 budget.
At first glance it might seem to the casual read
er that the war must soon be over, in as much as
most of the reduction was in curtailment of arms
and military equipment, even to stoppage of some
airplane parts and equipment, but such is not the
case.
Armament, and the construction of suer, equip
ment as smallarms, machine guns, antiaircraft guns
have undergone such changes in design and manuf
acture as to decrease the cost per item, or to cause
to be discontinued, some item, because of the new de
mands of modefti warfare.
Looking ahead toward the invasion of Germany
with the German army practically intact, and more
than half of Italy still to go, ana our armies and na
vies spread out over the many thousand square miles
of the Pacific Ocean in conflict with the Japanese
military machine, we see no ready conclusion to the
war
There must be no let-up in our efforts to pro
duce the materials for making war and the buying
of war bonds, in order to bring the war to it s earli
rst possible end.
FOURTH WAR LOAN DRIVE
Emphasis to be placed by the Treasury ?n indiv
idual purchases in the fourth war loan drive, ann
ounced for January 18. to February 15. points to a
°n!i‘’'2i'm exceeding in intensity these which have
preeeed'ed it. On the basis of previous results
and available data as to liquid assets of individuals,
the goal is attainable, but it will require vigorous
efforts.
Success in the fourth drive will mean further
progress in the effort to finance the war by non-m-;
flationary methods to the fullest possible extent.
In the third drive in September, individual sub
scriptions lagged behind in the early days but ev
entually reached a goal of $5.4 billion as compared
witti a goal of $5 0 billion. The second drive in
April netted only $3.6 billion of individual purchases
and the first drive in December, 1942, only $1.5
billion.
THE QUOTA of $5.5 billion for individuals in
the coming drive not only is a little higher than the
actual amount realized in the third drive, but it rep
resents a greater portion of the total sought to be
raised, which this time is $14. billion as against the
$15 billion goal in September , Actual subscrip
tions in the third drive totaled $18.9 billion, all from
non-banking sources.
THE PURPOSE of the Treasury is to tap the
unprecedented accumulation of liquid assets by
individuals as well as businesses, which has resulted
from the excess of income received over the supply
of goods and services available for privete purchase.

AVIATION LOOKING AHEAD
With the position of Alaska seemingly destined to I
shift from a remote outpost of civilization to a center
of global air traffic, a recent address of Juan T. ;
Trippe, president of Pan American Airways, before
the National Foreign Trade Convention in New York
on “Foreign Trade in the Air Age” is of especial in- ,
tere st
Pan American, with its clipper planes pioneered
American aviation routes to foreign countries, but |
now' other large companies are making applications
for air routes to the Orient via Alaska after the war, T
as global transport and foreign trade loom in increas- j
ing importance in postwar planning.
The question has arisen as to whether aviation
shall continue on a competitive basis or whether a j
national policy shall direct a monopoly formed of a j
combination of existing airlines operating under gov- j
emment supervision.
Competition, suggests Mr. Trippe, will be keen be- i
tween nations for foreign trade, and Britain has al- !
ready made a bid for leadership in the Air Age ;
through teaching her young men the economics of j
world trade and training them in modern geography, '
and by providing their foreign traders with a consol- j
idated cable and radio communication system that I
stretches to every corner of the globe and provides j
swift, low-cost universal communication. She has <
also concentrated all overseas air transport in a sin- i
gle, strong community company in place of four for- j
mer British international airlines competing with one ,
another and foreign airlines as well.
“World air transport in this Air Age will be truly
a battle of giants,” predicts Trippe. “The Dutch
are represented by their K. L. M., the Russians by
their Soviet Air Trust, the French by Air France,
Sweden by their S.I.L.A., Canada by Trans-Canada
Air Lines, South Africa by South African Airlines, j
Many of these international systems are government- j
owned monopolies. Some are privately-owned and
function under government regulations.”
Trippe considers a national policy with respect to
international air transport equally important.
“Shall we have ten or 15 separate airlines each j
competing with, the other 'as well as w'ith powerful |
I foreign monopolies'”’ he asks. “Shall w-e have three •
16r four airlines each restricted to a separate zone? i
! Britain. France, Germany and Japan tried this i
scheme for several years and abandoned it in favor ’
of the single company system. Or shall wre have one I
strong American international airline, strong enough I
to compete on even terms with the great foreign ’
flag air transport monopolies—a community com
(pany—owned and controlled not by any one aviation
I interest, but by all American transportation interests
| able to contribute under an organization plan ap
proved by the government?”

FLAME FROM THE HOCK."

Lin Yutang, the smiling Chin

been built up into a combination
of philosopher and interpreter of
East to West, has two gifted
daughters. Adet is the older, now
twenty. Her sister, Anor, is three
years younger. Already the girls

have produced three non-fiction
books together, but from now for
ward, they want to progress sep
arately.
This month Adet is publishing
a novel called “Flame from the
Rock” under the pseudonym “Tan
Yun”, and her sister is doing the
same thing as Lin Taiyi. Anor’s
novel is “War Tide. ’ The two girls
want two things very much. One
is that the public will respect their
polite fiction and stop consider
ing them as sisters; the other is
that the same public will ignore
the fact that they are the daugh
ters of Yin Yutang. To help these
projects along, Pearl S. Buck has
written a long letter to the re
viewers explaining the matter and
also explaining Lin Yutang’s at
titude toward it, which appears to
be one of gently Oriental exas
peration at his offspring, who re
fused to show him their novels
until they were done, and then
were reluctant to take his advice
about changes.
Of course it is impossible to
maintain such an elaborate fic
tion, even if it were desirable, and
that point is debatable. The two
novels are extraordinary perform
ances for girls so young, and
could not have been written as
they are written without the in
fluence of two very well known
people, by name Lin Yutang and
Pearl Buck. I think the influence
of Mrs. Buck is greater than that
of Dr. Lin; the prose sounds much
like Mrs. Buck, and the method
is altogether hers.
“Flame from the Rock” is a love
story, the story of a small world
built by two dissimilar people in
the full knowledge that it cannot
possibly last. “War Tide” is very
different in conception, but not
more original. Atr seventeen,
Anor has discovered that the old
are weary among the ruins of
their ancient world; that youth is
alive and strong and owns the fu
ture. It seems to me the two young
writers have done very well by
their distinguished father and
their distinguished friend.
