Deplores Spending
BY Political WastrelS."

Several years ago group of politicians
decided that the only way to promote
prosperity was to establish new and
novel social system erected on debt.
The idea that waste brings want was
supplanted with the notion that in order
"to save" we must spend" AS result,
the taxpayers money was recklessly
used in promoting senseless projects all
over the land. An attempt was made to
harness moonbeams at Passamaquoddy.
Good American cash was dished out
here, there and everywhere with no
thought of the morrow or that some un-
practicable condition might arise which
would necessitate extravagant spending,
Having sown the wind we now are
reaping whirlwind in the form of ever
increasing taxes, with budgets so far out
of balance that there is nothing to in
dicate that the loose ends ever again
will meet.
1t seems a fair assumption that
eventually the people will eject these
political wastrels from Office and elect
men who not only respect money but
who are interested in protecting tax
payers pocketbooks and not in empty
ing them.

picked" for the nomination by Sem
ator Byrd, a charge which drew a
prompt denial from the Old Domin-
ions junior Senator.
High light of the nearby campaign
was a reception for Mr.. Darden in
Arlington County attended not only
by many Democratic organization
Leaders of that county but also by
both Senators Glass and Byrd. Side
issues in the nearby elections are
contests for legislative nominations
in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties
and for the Police Court judgeship
in Alexandria. A second statewide
contest, that for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, also is to be settled.
An unusual feature of the primary
has been the non-committal attitude
of Governor Price, leader of the
anti-Byrd faction. Despite repeated
rumors that he would support Mr..
Darden, the Governor has refused to
indorse any of the three candidates,
saying he was concerned with dis
charging the duties of the States
chief executive, not with selecting
the next one.
Forecasting election outcomes often
is difficult, but, unless all signs fail
in this one, not even a straw vote is
necessary to prophesy that Mr.. Dar-
den will be the winner.

tance, therefore, that our supplies
of silk be conserved to meet the needs
of the armed forces.
That the o. P. MS order will have
far-reaching economic repercussions
is already evident. For the silk in
dustry is large one, and its prod
ucts are widely used. The ban on
the manufacture of civilian goods,
it is estimated, temporarily will throw
out of employment approximately
l75,COO silk workers. The Govern
ment clearly is obligated to do every
thing in its power to help these men
and women find employment else
where and to give them financial
assistance until they can secure new
jobs.
In addition to assisting silk work
ers thrown out of employment, the
Government Immediately should
take the lead in a program aimed to
make the American industry self
sustaining by ending its present de-
pendence on imports of raw silk
from japan.
