sNYDER's PROGRAM

The new Secretary of the
Treasury, John w. Snyder,
the personal friend of Presl-
dent Truman, promises to
balance the budget, or bet
ter, in 1947" and says that
this means reducing expen-
ditures and maintaining
adequate tax rates.
This is encouraging and
the Treasury head will be
something of a success if he
carries out the program, re-
CARELESS of, the head-shak-
ing that indicates the dis
approval of some of the
highest financial interests
of the nation.
Mr.. Snyder, in his brief
address, also made it plain
that. in his opinion, the ma
ton cannot be prosperous
and peaceful unless we can
develop a stable world.
Therefore, he warns, I'VE
must prevent the seeds OF
isolationism from springing
up both here and abroad. I"
Mr.. Snyder may be able to
balance the budget, but we
are afraid that he will not
be able to prevent isola-
tionism from developing in
the United States. In fact,
present signs indicate that
it is getting rampant in GER
tain sections and that it will
seriously interfere with the
effort of this country to CO.
operate with the other ma
tons of the world.

URGE A TOUGH POLICY

Four members of the
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, after a two-months
trip TO Europe, suggest
immediate abandonment of
any semblance of appease-
ment in our negotiations
and relations with Russia. z
Representative Gordon, of
Iltinois, Ryter of Connecti-
cut. Mundt of South Dakota,
and Bolton, of Ohio, the
first two being Democrats
and the last two, Repub-
licans,gjeined in advocating
a policy of complete reci-
with Russia, insist
ing that mo greater privil-
eges should be extended to
Russians in the United States
than are extended to Amer
leans in Russia.
.. Moreover, they say that
it has become evident in
Moscow that each time we
have tslken a different atti-
tude and refused to yield to
any and every Soviet de-
mand, our Embassy has
found it increasingly easier

The atomic bomb, regard
lses of what effect it had
upon battleships, is a fear
full weapon. After the bomb
exploded a Russian observ-
er shrugged his shoulders
and said: mot so much:
But he would change his
opinion, if the Bikini bomb,
less powerful than the one
let loose on Nagasaki, ex-
ploded over the Kremlin or
any of the larger cities OF
Soviet Russia.

VETERANS COMPLAINT

The compromise plan, pro-
viding for extension of the
draft law, may fail to pro-
vide the manpower neces-
sary for the Army to release
men overseas, now overdue
at home, or give the nation
the necessary strength to
implement its work for
peace.
The Senate has a better
record than the House which
twice voted to exempt 18
and 10 year old youngsters
from serving in a peace
time army. Overlooked is
the fact that, during the war,
many youngsters of 10 went
overseas to face the enemy
and the job now given to
those of their age is safe
compared to combat work.
In fact, a sergeant in the
Amy complains that he may
stay five extra months in
service because Congress
declines to permit young
sters to be drafted. He says
he went overseas, a few
months after he became 10,
aud served as a rifleman,
opeeof the most dangerous
jobs in the army.

(which once ripped through the
enemy are now ripping out
sturnps on the farm Of CAMEL
Dupre, who owns $40 acres of
rough and low lands bordering
the picturesque Rock river in

miles northeast of Geneseo.
Dnpre purchased the two
1880 pound tanks. which cost
the government $4,000 each.

were offered for sale along
with So others al the Rock
Island arsenal last week.
Dupre hired James Montieth

The demand for the tanks far
exceeded the supply for the mo-

when all of the tanks were
claimed within a few minutes af-

USING SURPLUS MONEY

The thing of first impor-
lance in a city is to have a
place to take care of its sick.
At the other extreme, if the
city is an island, as Key
West is, the thing of out
standing importance, in pro-
noting the welfare of the
city, is to have a pier to ac-
commodate charter boats
and yachts that may come
to port.
County commissioners
must have had those two
objects in view when it
considered using its surplus
money to buy the Key West
General Hospital and the
Monroe County Clinic and
to construct a pier off the
foot of Grinnell street at
Caroline street. +.
1t has been the practice
of the Fe deral Works
Agency, which constructed
the hospital and the clinic,
TO sell them to cities or
counties, in which the instl-
tutions are located, at nomi-
nal sums.
Thus. the county may be
able to acquire the hospital.
which cost $3.50, 900, with
furnishings and equipment.
for as little as $50, 900, and
the clinic on a proportionate
basis.
AS to the proposed pier,
the commissioners tn n <
that. before they are able
to have its construction be-
gun. the legislature must
pass an enabling act. II that
requirement is necessary,
the commissioners may be
sure that Representative
Bernie C. Papy will spon-
sor such legislation when
the legislature is convened
next year.
AS to the hospital, it has
been operating at a loss
since it was constructed.
With normal times fast ap-
preaching, one of the disad-
varltages, with which the IN
stitution has had to strug-
ole since its opening = the
lack of a sufficiently large
staff of physicians and
surgeons, apparently can
he overcome at an early
date. because of the increas-
ed numbers of medical men
who have been released re-
Gently from the country $
armed services.
Properly stated, the hos
pital and the clinic also
probably could be made to
be self-supporting.

Price DecOntrOl
(NeW York Times)


 Congress has made it clear in the recently extended Price Control Act that it wants price control tapered eff promptly possible. Tn event are these controls be extended beyond Dec 3l for insignificant items and not beyond June 30, 1947 for all other products However, Congress found it virtually inn possible write standards of decontrol into the law and hence considerable amount of discretion was placed in the hands of OPA and the Price Decontro Board. The Price Decontrol Board in it's decision to recontro meat indicated that it using a rather elastic standard for decontrol Thus it found that the supply of has been and will continue to be short in relation to demand at reasonable prices Such criterion begs the question of what is reasonable and makes possible continuation of an unbalanced condition long prices held too low
 Now OPA has adopted an even less significant criterion of what constitutes balance of demand and supply. Its standard is a Can those who buy the commodity for their at the existing ceiling prices do with the facility and width of choice they had before the development of wartime pressures and is this purely fleeting condition is there sonable likelihood that it will continue" In other words, unless the pre-war conditions of supply and demand and choice present. control must be con- tinued This standard rigidly interpreted would make it virtually impossible to decontrol any important items
 Today find that total supplies of goods larger than before the However, demand has increased a result of the trpling of the money supply and the rise in total money income payments to more than double the prewar level Pres for further price rises present, and will continue so long this large volume of money supply remains outstanding. This increase in money supply resulted from the Federal deficit and can only be reversed if a large budgetary surplus takes place. There is little likelihood that this extra money supply which is reflected in the large accumulation of liquid assets by businesses and individuals will retired since the required budgetary surpuses still remote
 The achievement of designated relationship between current supplies and the prewar total would be more meaningul criterion of decontrol than that hV nd nvep toria for any produce exceed the level effective barrier established against runaway prices And it is only runaway price increases which should be the concern of OPA rather than the prevention of price
