Patriotic Point System
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—Now is the time when too many
American civilians whnt to quit playing war and
the net effect is apt to gum things up no end. g
- If' the mood of the moment can be properly
"psychoanalyzed and reduced to a few terse sen
tences, it would seem to be:
We're tired of being patriotic and good. The
annoyances of OPA rationing, price control and the
Little Steel Formula are more than we care to
be bothered with longer. So let’s serap 'em. And
if we have a little inflation as a result, what of it?”
Before any citizen writes his own discharge
papers from the home front army in this manner
he ought to add up his points. Not red and blue
ones to see whether he has enough to buy a steak
or a pound of butter, but white ones of the kind‘
a soldier in the fighting army adds up to see isl
he is entitled to discharge.
For civilians, a white point system might be
devised something like this:
For 10 per cent payroll deduction to buy war
bonds, credit 10 points for each full year’s partici
pation. For extra bonds bought in any of the seven
drives, add one point for each such purchase. |
For each donation-to the blood bank, two points.
For each star in the family service flag, add 10
points and for each gold star an extra hundred.
For each month’s service in a war plant or essen
tial war industry, give yourself a point.
If you have religiously saved fats, waste paper,
planted a Victory garden, collected scrap, done
volunteer work in OCD, nurses’ aid, AWVS, Red
Cross or similar campaign activities, be generous
and give yourself what you think 'you're worth. .
THE DEBIT SIDE ' -
So much for the positive side of this point system,
Now see what your debits are:
For each day’s absenteeism from your war job
subtract one point.
For each unnecessary train, bus or plane trip!
you took. subtract one point per hundred miles of
travel. i |
For every gallon of gas burned in unessential
driving, one point off. |
For every purchase you made above established
ceilihg prices, one point off.
For every black market deal you made—well,
how about it, Conscience? How much should be
taken off?
For every war bond turned in, one point off.
For every fib or faked figure turned in above or
on any government return or application for ration
books, multiply the figure by two and subtract the
product as points.
This is a highly unpopular bill of goods to sell,
particularly in hot weather. Three-and-a-half years
of just tkrying to be good is more than most peoble
can stand. But - anyone who faces the truth should
see that the hardest part of this war is still to come
—f—:xot in the defeat of Japan but in what comes
after. .
_NO ONE SCARED
The dangers of postwar inflation make the
dangers of wartime inflation—now . passed with
reasonable success—seem Irivial. Inflation doesn’t
scare people any more, if it ever did. So how can
the idea be sold?
The hurts of cut-backs, layoffs, finding new
Jjobs for war werkers, rebuilding the U. S. economy
and just trying to lend a hand to the rest®of the
war-torn world have not yet begun to be felt. Even
if Japan folds tomorrow, the problems of this
future war call for greater exercise of good citizen
ship than did the home front effort in the shooting
war. But how can that fact be dramatized?
In many ways this country today seems a lot
less prepared for this future, non-shooting war
than it was prepared for Pearl Harbor. That’s why
this is no time to give up. 3
e i Sk
! The iron rule over Germany sounds like one
that won't give an inch—we hope! &
_*'-‘*'———— .
In August, when civilian railroad travel will be
hix, we can all take a vacation—from train rides.
—
Today’s economy consists of giving‘up what you
want to get what you think you want ’cause there
are no points needed.
s
If you buy and buy War Bonds now, there’s a
! Sweeter bye and bye coming—through the interest
- you'll get. ,

MAY BE FORCED TO RATION TRAVEL
With a large number of' our boys re
turning from the European area and thou
sands of our servicemen being sent to the
Pacific, it is essential, to conserve all
available space on the trains, buses, and
airways, for war purposes. - Civilians
should bear in mind, at all times, that
preference in transportation be shown tr.
servicemen, whether going or coming in
the service or on furloughs.
In speaking of the transportation proh
lem, in a dispatch sent to the New York
Times, ODT Director J. Monroe, sug
‘ gests:
“Examine each trip in a sincere effort
to determine, if it is necessary. It is not
necessary, if the trip does not help with
the winning of the war or if its purpose
can be reasonably ' accomplished by tele
phone or correspondence,
“Vacation at home. Co-operate with the
request of the War Committee on conven
tions. Large users of transportation should
re-examine their requirements and reduce
their travel to .a minimum. Shippers of
freight and all industrial organizations
shoulg continue faithfully to follow ODT
regulations. '
“Private motorists must keep their cars
in good running condition. Tires batteries,
parts and mechanics continue in criticai
ly short supply. It may be years before
the average motorist can buy a new car.”
President Truman has announced thdt
unless the public shows a co-operative
spirit in the transportation problem, he
will place a rationing, band on all moedes
of travel. It is to be hoped that no such
emergency will arise and we do not be
lieve that it will, for our people have al
ways shown a co-operative spirit with the
government in all it’s undertakings, to
better conditions for the advancement
and success of war activities.
NO TIME FOR PESSIMISM |
With the return of our = soldier boys
from the European area, optimism should
prevail in al] walks of life.
There should be no room for discour
agement and fear of the future, which
is a reminder to us, of what Thomas Dre
ier, the well known writer, has to say of
the future. “When you are inclined to be
pessimistic about the future, brighten up
your mind with a few fundamentals.
First of all, there will be millions of peo
ple who will need things. We'll have in this
country, the greatest productive machine
ever devised. We'll have skilled workmen,
plenty of raw materials, ships te deliver
finished goods and to bring back what
ever we need. But we’ll have to accept
changes.
The old system which showed its weak
ness during the terrible years of unem
ployment needs changing. But there s
nothing sacred about anything merely be
cause it is old. Only that is sacred which
serves, Now commercial practices, new
management ideas will take the place of
older ones that didn’t work so well.
“Men with flexible minds will find a
new world with great opportunities ready
to be grasped. The sun will continue to
shine in the future.” :
The foregoing expressions - should be
heeded by all thing people. If followed,
the whole world will be the better off.
.SUICIDE BOMBERS
The determination of the Japanese to
win this war is indicated by their organ
ization of suicide bombers. These men
know when they leave their bases-that
Ithey will not return alive but that they
are making the supreme sacrifice for thewr
country. They are given enough gasoline
for only a one way trip ang they are ex
pected to get results by destroying as
many of our boats and ships as is possible.
These suicide bombers have met with
some success, crippling and destroying
home units of our Navy., However recent
we have been able to check their effec
tivesness. o
In the last few weeks suicide planes
have grown to be more of a nuisance
than a menace, which proves the alert
ness of our Navy and the intrepidity of ils
fliers. : e
Summed up and analyized, the suicide
squads turned out to be a fiasco.’
