Washington Current Comment

A IHCe more than a month ago, Congress put itself
on the pension roll, but that period was long enough
to sat’sty the legislators that they had knocked down
; a large and active hornets nest. Although the measure
was rest- nded in the Senate by a vote of 75 to 5. four
days passed in debate before the final poll was taken.
;wh'(h indicate that the five who stood out to the end.
| put un a .fight and had plenty to say. The House un
doubtedly will follow the course laid down by the
uoper bodv. There was nothing essentially immoral
about the law. It was simply in bad taste at the preseni
time.
’’] he self-pensioning of Congress would have cost the
! country about one hundred thousand dollars a year,
not a lame sum as money is spent nowadays. The plan
to make payments to persons thrown out of work on
recount of war activities was a 300 million dollar af
na r. Backed by the Administration, the Ways and
Means C mmittee put it on the shelf nevertheless, and
anything rejected by that committee is likely to stay
rejected. It was the view allegedly that the proposed
stipend would foster idleness during a season when
ever ybody was supposed to be up and doing. While Bn
Senate wiped out the pensioning of its own members,
it did not forget that there are times and places when
rnd where the nurse should be opened. A twenty per
cent raise in the pay of enlisted men and ten percent
in the case of officers, while serving on foreign soil is
something against which no valid objection can be
raised.

Congress and the Treasury have been at odds for
some time as to the best way to raise tax money. After
a conference, Chairman George of the Senate Finance
Committee is quoted as saying that there will not be
any serious differences regarding the big, basic prob
lems of tax policy. A Washingtonian who had one
more baby than he needed, left it, a few days ago. on
the running board of an auto. The Senate and the
Treasury may not reach full accord, but some place
will be found where the tax foundling can be dropped.

The war secrets bill which came from the pen of i
Attorney General Biddle is coming in for adverse crit
icisrn because allegedly it is too sweeping, gives no j
sign of being purely temporary, and tends to check the
right of petition and remonstrance, if there is any sign
that the enemy will be the gainer. Those who peddh :
inside information are being put away for two or three
years in a war that may last ten. Such persons might
well post a sign reading: “Will open up with a com
pletely n*jw stock in 1944.” Let’s not draw the rein too
hard on Mr. Biddle.

The soil around General MacArthur is thoroughly

:n B >rneo, Celebes and Southern Sumatra, the papers
apparently are trying to voice as high optimism as pos
sible when they say that the forces referred to “are
still lighting on.” Even Bali, the last place where the
care-free insular life that Herman Melville described
may be said to persist, is within the “war zone.” • We
do not know the details, so perhaps it is just as well
to look somewhere for generalities which will covei
the situation.
