We don’t believe you would have to be especially adept for I that job in Washington. The Republican and the Demo cratic parties as we know them in the pre-New Deal age are now getting to be about as archaic looking as the horse and buggy.

What a Paradise this old world would be if we could get the sub lime feeling which the radio an nouncer promises us if we use his brand of cigarettes, vitamized yeast or breakfast food. When an old man starts walking spryly again we we know either that he is in love or doesn’t care about qualifying for an old age pension. Remember the old-fashioned novel which ended with some thing like this, in substance: “And they were married and lived hap pily ever afterward"? — Anyhow, after this war is over we will be too old to go back to school and learn geography all over again. With the Germans killing off all the Russians and the Russians kill ing off the Germans there ought to be a lot of waste land for some body’s surplus population after the war is over.

A SORRY CHAPTER Secretary Morgenthau at a recent press conference, said that the government was considering a new plan for financing which would centralize all borrowing in its own hands, and such a move, though late, Would be very much worth while. If this should go into effect, it would bring about the end of the double budget, and that has been a sorry chapter in the government’s financial record of the last few years. Our financing method hasn’t been forthright. It hasn’t given the people a clear picture of what has been going on. In discussing the Morgenthau statement the Bhltimmore Sun says: “The double budget was set up and the Reconstruction Fin ance Corporation, the Commodity Credit Corporation, and other agencies of like nature, were au- j thorized to borrow whatever funds they needed independently of the Treasury an to spend without reporting their expenditures through the regular federal ac counts. In the 12 months which ended last June, for example, the autonomous corporations bor rowed $1,126,000,000 in the open market, which did not count un der the debt limit. They spent or obligated this money mostly for defense production, but it did not show under the head of na tional defense in the Treasury statements, and it did not figure in the deficit.” In short, Treasury statements have not been showing the go-; vernment’s financial status. ‘‘By the devious and unnatural process of permitting these public agen-1 cies to finance themselves,” says1 the New York Herald Tribune, “nearly $11,000,000,000 in debt has been created which—because it consisted of contingent instead of direct liabilities— was not in cluded in the government debt, and so was not covered by the debt limit provisions of the law." It is to be hoped that Mr. Mor genthau was speaking with the certain knowledge that the change will be made.—Fargo Forum. POLICY OF SECRECY CAN SERVE TWO ENDS The proposed expansion of the arms program is to be accompan ied acording to the President, by an increasing blackout of exact .nformation as to progress in arms productions. Too much informa tion that Hitler would like to have is going out, Mr. Roosvelt ob served at his press conference. Something is to be said for this policy of secrecy, but it is only fair to emphasize the point that secrecy can be used not only to obscure the glasses through which the Germans look but also to cov er up deficiencies in the organiza tion of our own defenses. This (particular point might be far less important than it is had of the President and his associate* so often tried during the past fifteen months to make it appeax that defense output was more satisfactory than was actually the case. In view of the way in which the "on-hand-and on-order* formula has been worked, and also in view of the officials dis paragement of figures prepared by Senator Harry F. Byrd and others who have sought to in form the public of the true state of affairs, a certain skepticism as to the proposed blackout of infor mation is in order. To the extent that the purpose is to protect the country against litler, it is good. But to the ex tent that it is designed to protect an often ineffectual administra tion against legitimate domestic criticism it apears in a less agree able light.—Baltimore, Md., Sun.
