WHAT KIND or 4 COIN-
TRY HAVE WE. NOW

About 80 years ago Speaker
Reed of the House of Representa-
tiveS faced a flock Of noisy Con-
gresSmen who complained that
there was no excuse for spending
outrageous sums of public money.
One of the members challenged the
Speaker to explain why billion
dollars was being appropriated for
one years expenses. The Speaker
replied: This is billion dollar
country"
1t is d lamentable fact that no
one has the answer to the question
Of why, how, or for what reason
the public debt is now over 300
billion dOllars--and going up.
President Truman has submitted
budget for the coming year of
{ S37 300, 100000. Is this country that
big in dollars?
Senator Taft is the outstanding
Republican leader in Congress, by
reason of being chairman of the
Senate Policy Committee and a
member of the Senate Finance
Committee He challenges Mr. Tru-
mans position and recent remarks
on higher wages and cheaper
prices. and denies that the Presi-
dents budget proposals are Il real
remedy" because they are not a
tax cut. Taft leads the Senate fight
to slash federal spending by re-
ducing the numbers of agencies
and employees in Washington and
throughout the nation and curtail-
ing a lot of mOOnshine activities
He asks for a four billion dollar
cut in government spending. The

ONE REMARKABLE ARGUMENT
made against labor legislation designed to
correct the worst abuses of labor leaders
drunk with power is that this would lead to
more industrial strife, and stir up dangerous
dscord within the country.
If that is actually the case, the sooner we
deal with it the better. If few labor czars
feel that they can pit themselves against the
government and the cearcut demands of the
people, it is time for a showdown.
No labor law seriously proposed would
destroy the real rights of the workingman
None of them would deprive him of the
power to bargain for higher wages, better
factory conditions, or prevent him from
joining a union if he SO desired But what
some of the proposed laws would do, like
the measure approved by House committee,
is to deprive labor leaders of the fright to
dictate to their members under threat of loss
of their jobs, to defy the government, and TO
callously disregard the welfare of the cOun-
try.
A recent series of articles by Phelps
Adams, chief of the Washington Bureau of
the New York Sun, should be read nationally.
They tell of labor 'goon squads" which re-
sort to extortion bribery, mayhem, arson
and murder. They tell OF 'unScrupulOuS
union leadership, of broken contracts and of
an Unsuitable lust for power" They tell of
a war between labor unions in which the citi-
zens of great city were the "victims of a
campaign of terrorism and anarchy unpara-
lelled since . Al Capone" They cite many
examples, with every statement fully docu-
mented
Labor leaders violently oppose proposals
which would correct such abuses. They don t
want justice-they want license. They want
to be able to make workers, industry and the
government dance to whatever tune they
call. They want to be bigger and stronger
than the American people. 1t is high time
for showdown
