This was a timely and just
retort.
On the subjects of Gen. Patton
and our military defense, there are
many millions of good Americans
who would rather listen to the gen
erals former comrades in victorious
arms than to his backbiters and ira
ducers, many of whom are not inter
ested in the cause of America at all
and most of whom have no records
of any kind, military or otherwise,
meriting either respect or comment.

~ has made triumphant return
visit to Brittany, that province which
was wrested from Nazi control by his
Third Army in the first days of his
spectacular and unprecedented
march through the heart of France.
The war stricken towns and cities
greeted him joyfully and acclaimed
him as their liberator
This distinction-one of the hon
ors so well deserved by Gen. Patton's
eminent military services was in
curious contrast to the attitude of
sundry left wing elements in his own
country, where the Patton smear"
is continually attempted.
The smear" originally was
based upon "charges" that Gen.
Patton-who is opposed to delivering
conquered Germany over to the Com
munists was unwilling to evict
Nazis from their jobs.
Gen. Patton is opposed to deliv-
ering conquered Germany over to
the Communists and as a consequence
the original smear falsely charged
that he was unwilling to evict Nazis
from their jobs,
Now the "smear" has taken diff
ferent turn.
BECAUSE of a patriotic speech
~ which he made at Bad Nauheim
on assuming command of the
Fifteenth Army, this great soldier
has been aspersed in Congress and
elsewhere as a "militarist
Senator Brien Mcmahon of Con-
necticut was one of those who "criti-
cized" Gen. Patton, taking exception
to the generals warning that it
would be wise for the United States
to expect future wars.
Harry F. Young Jr., commander
Of the American Legion tank corps,
has made satisfying rejoinder to
what he aptly termed Senator Nc
Mahon's small caliber shot"
On the vital question of national
defense the Legion tank corps whole
heartedly supports the Patton thesis.

PART III

YINHE controlling of prices looks like such a simple way
of trouble that is always the first recourse OF
politicians whose jobs threatened by the unrest or
rapidly rising prices
But attempting to control prices instead of getting at
the of abnormal prices all fours with treating
smallpox a skin disease to be cured by cosmetics
The mechanism of prices is extremely delicate and
fully understands it. We only know that IN free
economy the customer by buying refusing to buy
fixes prices The short sighted seller often tries to charge
too much but he for that in the end for others In
wade his field
The notion that all sellers are greedy and all custo-
saps soapbox stuff No customer no matter
how much of sap he may be- can long continue to buy
what he cannot afford and in this country unless the gov
eminent is in the picture the customer always has
choice
IF THE price of wheat and labor high that the
ordinary loaf of bread cost dollar very little bread
would be eaten and unless the cost of wheat and labor
down. most of the bread makers would go out OF
business
If, however, bread the principal staple of diet
is in many countries-the government with great
flourish would fix the price of bread at say 30 cents
loaf That would not help anybody for, if the bakers
costs high that they had to sell at dollar in
order to stay in business they could not sell at % cents
Therefore, although the official price of bread would
be so cents there would be to buy The government
would have go step further and subdze the bakers
that they could stay business The subsidy money
would either have TO out of taxes or be printed
In either the customer would still be paying
dollar loaf for bread and probably for to the cost
of bread would be added the cost of big bureau TO ad
minister the price control and the subsidy
l. them and produces artificial shortages, such
have had sugar meats and many kinds of what used to
be low priced garments.
IF THESE SHORTAGES ARE MADE UP BY SUB
SIDY,- THE GOVERNMENT ENTERS BUSINESS TO
PROMOTE INEFFICIENCY AND THE PUBLIC, IN
ADDITION TO BEING KIDDED, PAYS MORE FOR
EVERYTHING.
The sinister side of price control comes with the
tempt to use it to prevent initiation.
If the government prints and distributes money be-
yond the goods available for purchase at the
general price level the extra money will be used to bid
up the price of goods and when the bidding becomes
wild and emotional the money all at once loses its value
and becomes worthless.
In Germany in 1923 the mark, which had gradually
been losing its value suddenly became worthless between
and sunset.
government attempts to control the Uolue OF
money through the fixing of prices it starts
of deUauing lDh it's left hand the money It prints
With it's right hand.
Price control be effective with rationing and
rationing be effective without production control
and production control cannot be efectvewthout labor
control.
THESE CONTROLS, NO MATTER HOW SWEETLY
DRESSED UP ADD UP TO THE SLAVE STATE.

PARADE
By George
RothweII Brown

DRESlDENT I X u M a n y
Il hope for something helpful
from the conference Of labor
and management is not shared
by the hard-headed realists In
Congress who have been living
with today's major domestic
problem since the early Roose-
welt New Deal era.
These men-they include De-
mocrats as well as Republicans
are convinced that nothing
short Of drastic revision of eX-
isting labor laws will be able
10 preserve the American pro-
fit system.
And they know-and this is
realistic. too 49, that organized
labor will never consent to the
surrender of any part of the
power granted repeatedly for
political reasons by the RooSe-
welt regime, until compelled 10
do so.
No such policy of compulsion
is a part of President Truman's
plans for the conference which
opened in Washington this
week.
THE groups in Congress which
l. are determined TO make
every effort TO revise existing
labor statutes understand per-
fectly well that they must reach
their objectives the hard way,
that is by forcing through Con-
gress the changes in labor legis-
lation they have in mind.
Organized labor today is run
ming hog wild
With more than a quarter of
a million workers idle because
of so-called wildcat strikes, re-
conversion is being held up and
threatened with even greater
disasters in the immediate fu-
ture for the reason that ire
sponSible local labor leaders
have no regard for contractual
obligations.
Two major evils demand re-
dress, as the Truman labor-man-
agement conference gets under
way.
IT Is clearly perceived by all
Il at the Capitol, save left-wing
SympathiZers, that two changes
must be made in existing labor
laws if the present situation is
10 be prevented from getting
completely out Of hand.
The two essentials are sta
tute imposing severe penalties
for the violation of labor con-
tracts, and a law to penalize
violence in strikes, the beating
and terrorizing of peacefully in
clined workers. by the strong
arm goonS OF the picket lines.
Most of the strikes in prog
ress at the present time are in
fragrant violation Of union con-
tracts with employers. National
leaders at least pretend TO de-
plore these wildcat" strikes.
but the sincerity of some of
them is open to suspicion.
If organized labor is far more
powerful today than it was
when Woodrow Wilson's indus
trial conference in 1919 went to
smash on the issue of the closed
shop, unorganized and even or
ganized employers, representing
the greatest American indus
tries, are far weaker than they
were 26 years ago.
EOR dozen New Deal years
Il under Roosevelt and his vim
dictive subordinates in the
Washington bureaucracy, en-
ployers as a class took a ter
rife beating.
Many of them were cowed
and browbeaten into submission
TO outrageous labor dictatorship
and regimentation, so that they
all but lost control of their own
businesses.
We, the people, are caught in
the middle. The public interest
has been relegated 10 the ante
room of the conference hall.

ed the Sherwin School and was
graduated from Technical High
School with the Glass of 1913
having been employed in defense
work before his graduation. His
cheerful manner and remarkable
courage during his hospitaliza-
ton were a source of inspiration
to those who saw him and who
knew Of his gallant fight to re-
gain his health and strength.
He departed this life on April
80, 1945. Funeral services were
held at Grant A. M. E. Church,

When just a little child, Rus

his days of activity are ended on
this earth plane, but we believe
that somewhere on that plane of
spiritual life and beauty his I'M
