Famous Sayings -

What we are getting into right
now may be another depression, a
bareback of the old one or Just
a mild seasonal recession, but 1t
is a pretty safe bet that before long
someone will be standing up IN
meeting to blame it all on that old
william, The Machine.
The indictment is familiar to all
Of us. Work that used to be done
by human hands is done nowadays
by machines. The hands are idle,
and the man who is attached to
them is on nobody's payroll. Con-
sequently he is not in the market
for the goods the machines pro-
duce; consumption fails to keep
up with demand and every so oft
en- we get into the direst sort OF
mess.
But simply to restate the old in
dictment gets us nowhere. Old Man
Machine has been in court peri
odically for about a decade now,
and no one has any very clear idea
about what, if anything, should be

The Difference Between
Freedom and License

Freedom of speech and freedom of
the press are sacred in the United States.
They are things for which any thought
full person would fight to the last ditch.
1t is too bad that many persons and
many organizations not only misunder-
stand but misrepresent this freedom.
In San Diego last week the congrega
tion of church was addressed by A. L.
Wirin, attorney for the American Civil
Liberties Union, in a campaign to gain
new members for the union. Wirin un-
doubtedly told his listeners that the prin-
cipal aim of the group he represents is
to preserve freedom of speech. He said
the same thing in Imperial Valley when
he planned to address agricultural strik-
ers several years ago. Can address he
never made.) 1t is doubtful if he men,
toned that the American Civil Liber-
ties Union confines its activities almost
entirely to defense of Communist and
radical agitators who have gone afoul
of the law.
There is freedom of the press in Amer
lea yet there are libel laws which pun
ish newspapers for printing untrue and
damaging statements. There is freedom
of speech in America yet there are
slander laws which prevent base false
hoods harmful to the character of others.
These laws are not an infringement of
liberty. They are protection against
the unscrupulous.
Communists and radicals, by lies and
deception, seek to harm not individuals,
but government. Certainly it is not an
infringement of liberty to make such
destruction illegal.
The American Civil Liberties Union
should realize that there is difference
between freedom and license.

DEFENSES OF PACIFIC COAST

More anti-aircraft guns of modern types, and
a fully manned National Guard for California,
will be requested Of the Federal authority by
Adjutant General H. H. Moorehead of this state.
Japan's assault the Chinese coast has
brought home to all Americans the necessity for
adequate defense of the shores of the United
States against any possibility of aerial attack.
This western frontier be made impreg

little doubt that sucn steps will be authorized
unless peace, with effectual disarmament, comes

The picture of exposure pointed by the
Adjutant General OF California is not reassur-

there should be a substantial increase both in
guardsmen and in guns General Moorehead
advises the organization of two new anti-air
craft units probably to be stationed at
Santa Barbara and Ventura, and the other in
the San Francisco Bay region. The one exist

Long Beach. San Pedro and San Diego.
With an enlarged and more thoroughly equip

News Behind the News
- Sales Tax Whisperinqs

WASHINGTON.-Whisp and mumbhng
about a general sales tax on food. as SuoSu-
tute for processing taxes to pay for the proposed
new farm program. is to be heard from GER
tain members of the House Ways and Means
committee.
Politically and perhaps from the standpoint
of sound tax policy, such suggestion may
seem preposterous. 1t won't be enacted. But
it indicates the way congressman grope around
from pillar to post when what they really want
is an expensive program which won't cost any
money.
The current farm program costs 50O0O0.OOO,-
600 a year The new one will cost at least
75oO0oO00 But although the administration
demands that the difference be made up IN
new revenue and Secretary Wallace urges new
processing taxes, the House Agriculture COM
mittee has turned over that little problem of
financing to the Ways and Means committee,
a majority of whose members are known to be
opposed TO processing taxes.
The alternate to processing taxes is either
general tax or program that doesn't meet
the surplus crop problem New and heavier
general taxation is what nearly everyone is
trying to avoid SO the ultimate answer is
likely to be processing taxes.
Proposed processing taxes call for 20 cents
bushel wheat, three cents pound on
cotton and half a cert a pound on rice The
effect of these would be sales tax con-
sumers, although il is said some of the cotton
tax would be absorbed by professors. The AAA
isn't proposing any process tax on meat.
Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy OF the Mari
time Commission is one of the most active work
ers for repeal of the capital gains tax But he
isn't making much headway. for the reason
that the administration believes spectators re-
luctant TO pay taxes huge stock market pro-
fits would be the chief beneficiaries.
Although Roosevelt has come to admit that
there are inequites in the corporation surplus
tax and proposes revision to help small busi-
nesses he doesn't want to tighten the capital
gains tax except to help investors in productive
enterprise-as distinguished from successful spec
