PRICE CONTROL PROTECTS US

Along with these figures, Chester Bowles, Price Administrator, pre-
dicts an increase of ten per cent in living costs {{ Congress abolishes
food subsidies, This would add nine billion dollars to the cost of items
customarily bought ty American families during a year.
Mr, Bowles belleves that the OPA has done a “fair job,” asserting
that on the basis of a comparison with what occurred during the first
World War, its program ice controls has saved the Government
about seventy billion dollars in the expense of fighting the war,
The OPA chief estimates that food subsidies can be held to a max-
imum of $1.250000,000 a year. This, it seems is a cheap enough price to
pay for saving nine billion dollars for American consumers and much
more than that amount for the Government in connection with its war
purchases.
Whatever is saved for the Government is, of course, saved for the
taxpayers of the nation, who will have to pay for the war long after it

CHARGE IT TO THE WAR
In pre-war years, the United States consumed about 800,000 tons of
natural rubber—annually. When the Japanese captured most of the rub-
ber-producing areas of the world, it became necessary to construct plants
to provide synthetic rubber and the production of the artificial product
is expected to equal our normal demand in 1944.
Already there is considerable speculation as to the fate of the syne
thetic rubber industry when the war is over and natural rubber becomes
again available.
80 far, the synthetic rubber has not demonstrated competitiv
qualities in the tire and tube market, which normally utilizes three-
fourths of the rubber imported into the United States. Apparently, a re-
turn to the use of natural rubber for tires and tubes is inevitable, re-
gardless of price.
There is something of a demand in the country for a subsidy to en-
able the synthetic product to compete with natural rubber after the war,
Even if the nation adopts this doubtful plan, the failure of synthetic
rubber to provide satisfactory material for tires and tubes will limit the
use of synthetic rubber.
Consequently, it may be better for the nation to write-off its plants

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SETS JANUARY
1 AS NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
President Roosevelt has proclaimed January 1 as a national day of
prayer for “strength and guidance for the problems of widening warfare
and for the responsibilities of increasing victory.”
The text of the proclamation, made public by the White House, fol-
+ lows: s
“At the end of the year 1943, which has not only made manifest the! when shortening is
devotion and courage of our nation’s sons but has also crowned their ef- [place half the dough
forts with brilliant success on every battlefront, it is fitting that we set
aside a day of prayer to give thanks to Almighty God for his constant
providence over us in every hour of national peace and national peril.
“At the beginning of the new year 1944, which now lies before us, ii
is fitting that we pray to be preserved from false pride of accomplishment
and from wilful neglect of the last measure of public and private sacri-
flee necessary to attain final victory and peace,
“May we humbly seek strength and guidance for the problems of
warfare and for the responsibilities of increasing victory, May
we find in the infinite mercy of the God of our Father some measure of
comfort for the personal anxieties of separation and anguish of bereave-
t.
