THE QUESTION OF MONEY
By FRANK r. KENT.
Washington, Aug. IS

washington, aug. 10.
The way in which the Socialist
program is to be launched by the
new labor Government in Britain is
almost as interesting over here as
over there. For it is pretty generally
agreed that its success or failure will
have a very considerable influence
upon the direction of American poll
tics for years to come.
49,
Many large promises have been
made. The coal and steel industries
are to be nationalized. The transport
tation systems are to be owned and
operated by the Government. The
Bank of England is to be taken over.
A lot of other reforms" are planned.
If these can be inaugurated without
trouble and operated efficiently it is
altogether likely that we will turn
left too, and follow along. Certainly
enhanced power will be given those
who wish to take US in that direction.
But, if in practice these plans fall
far short of the theory and the result
is confusing and popular discomfort,
as we'll it may be, then the Socialists
will be greatly discredited and the
turn here as we'll as in Britain will be
strongly toward the right.
No one can tell how things are 60
ing to work out, but this thing we
know-that plans such as these have
never been tried on large scale in a
democratic country such as ours or
England. They have been operated all
right under the dictators in the Fas-
cist and Communist nations. But,
heretofore they have not seemed feas-
ible under the democratic system.
Now, we are to find out about that
and there are, always, two widely sep
arated views. One holds that the lead
ers of the new Government are not
crackpots, but level-headed fellows
who well know the difficulties in the
way, except to go slowly and have no
notion that they can perform mira
cles. The other contends that they are
essentially unbalanced, otherwise they
would not believe in such nonsense;
that the experiments they propose are
unsound, unwise, certain only to in
crease the cost and incompetency of
government; that these schemes breed
demagogues, elevate the unfit and
mislead the people.

Scout Camp Site

Before long it will be past time to
think about camping any more this
year. But that won't prevent local peo-
pie from thinking about the Boy Scout
site as permanent place for youth
organizations, and to see if something
can't be done about it before next
camp time. One way to make it per-
manent is to get the present owners
to make a deed to the town of Oak
land, or to the Knights of Pythias or
some other permanent organization.
with stipulations about its use as a
camp for youth. The site was orally
given to the scouts years ago. Should
the scouts ever cease to use it, the
deed could be so Worded so that it
would revert to the present owners.
If there was an actual deed to the
property, it would be possible for the
scouts to make many improvements
, there, secure electricity, etc. Parents
Of scouts ought to keep this in mind.

There are lot Of persons who have
been giving freely of their time and
money this summer in seeing that rec
reational programs are carried on sue
| cessfully here and at Mt. Lake Park.
An attempt to name them would only
result in forgetting some But really,
they deserve a lot of thanks. We need
more individuals like them, willing to
give unselfish service to make our
community better.
May we have more of them next
year.
The words fill 'er up" again have
familiar sound. Hundreds of motor
lists took advantage of the lifting of
! the restrictions on the sale of gasoline,
TO use that saying to the limit.
Many of them also, after the 35-
mile speed limit was lifted, forgot that
the brakes, tires, etc, might not be as
good as they should be, and plunged
, at high speed along the highways.
We'd better all be extra careful for
a while.

Under these conditions, it is ar
gued, there is but one place from
which the Labor Government can get
the vast sums needed to take over coal
and iron mines, railroads, banks, etc,
etc.-and that is from the United
States. There just is not any other
source anywhere. If we do not pro-
vide the money they cannot get it.
Now then, say economists, we are
not exactly in the best financial health
ourselves. But, conceding that we are
in position to make great loans to the
British Government, it would, it is
said, "be essential to safeguard
against demoralized British econ

the time the town became Incorporated.
Later, because of i'll health he re-
signed from the position.
Everyone here knew and loved him.
Personally, from all we have gathered,
it was that famous smile he had.
When he spoke and smiled some way
you felt that everything was right
and that God was in His heaven, and
all was we'll"
To Mrs. Clayton, or to "Miss Geor-
gle, as those who love her, spoke of

Another group of economists in
sists that the platform to which the
Labor party is committed will cost
far more money than Great Britain
can find. Also it will require goods
and services which the Empire cannot
furnish. The war has exhausted the
funds which the British held in for
eign countries and has created a ma
tional debt of staggering proportions.
Further taxation of the rich will add
little to revenues-frst, because there
are no more rich, and, second, because
the well-to-do are taxed to the limit
now. Taxation of labor to pay for
labor reforms is something not con-
templated. The reaction to that would
be quick and unfavorable to the labor
leaders.

There Is fairly authentic story go
ing the rounds about what happened
at the Potsdam conference when meet
ings were discontinued for three days.
/ According to reliable source the
Big Three" had settled for a confer
ence. Joseph Stain began to dominate
the meeting, notifying Truman and
Churchill what the Reds were going
to do, and demanding this and that
concession. 1t is told that Truman
listened very calmly for a time, then
informed Stain that he was there to
uphold the rights of the American peo-
pie, that he intended to be fair about
! the matter but was prepared to up
hold them regardless of any other ma
ton.
1t was here that Stain learned from
/ the presidents lips about Americas
new weapon, the atomic bomb, which
was explained as being capable of WHIP
ing out an entire city. When Stain
heard the details Of this powerful mes
( senger Of destruction, and realized it
could be used on any nation it is said
/ he became very nervous and was too
] i'll for three days to continue the meet
ings.
We hope the story is true We will
be more apt to get a lasting peace if
Russia is not allowed to have her en-
tire say in the Asiatic theatre.
The atomic bomb that has power
for such destruction, will also have a
similar power for building peace.

Olny THAT nllgnL result from an at
tempt to carry out the labor pro-
gram" There is not any way to do
this, and in any event we "should not
underwrite state socialism," which is
something our people do not hold de-
sirable and not the kind of thing for
which we should use the taxpayers
money-even if we had the money.
Nor would such loan be approved by
the people.
Thus, it is sought to prove that the
program is impossible because we
cannot-or will not-lend the money.
But this contention is emphatically
refuted by the labor intellcctuals. Il
is true, they say, the program viii
cost a great sum but it will uos bc
necessary to borrow il from the
United States or anyone else. 1t can
be done without borrowing an out
side dollar and without raising taxes.
And those who think the labor lead
ers have not thought the financial
phase of their program through must
think them fools, indeed-which they
are not. There are, they say, several
ways by which the reforms" can be
swung, but the one that has the most
appeal is the bond plar."
Once, it is stated the Government
has agreed with the owners on the
mines or roads or banks upon price,
the Government can pay these own
ers in bonds bearing a low interest
rate and maturing, say, in so years.
This, it is urged, will be entirely fair
to the owners. 1t will provide them
and their children with ample income
for life. For them it will, in effect, be
an annuity. 1t will not materially in
crease the national debtor the SIM
pie reason that before the bonds ma
ture or can be redeemed, practically all
of them will have been recovered by
the Government through the death
and inheritance taxes. Nor will the
tax burden be increased by the inter-
est on the new bonds, as this will more
than be offset by the Governments
operational profits on its newly ac-
quired mines, roads, etc.
