 And that is all the present purge seeks The object is not to see how many Communists or neo-Communists put in ja It is to have as few Communists as possible in the employ of the government.

STORY WITH A MORAL


 One time there was a young man, the younger son of well-to- do farmer. Times were good, pric- es were high. It was a period of prosperity for everybody. Appar- ently, spending had got to be a habit with most of the folks in that community. At any rate, this son saw that others were having a good time spending money. Since everybody's doing it, he thought. why shouldn't I enjoy myself?
 So this fine young man who had all the opportunities one could wish for, and a brilliant future in sight, kept after his father until one day "the old man settled him off" with good deal of money. This country boy then went to town,>and set out to have himself a better time than he had ever had before. He spent more money than he had ever spent before. Friends

were numerous. Playboy super deluxe, this young man had swarms of lady friends. But they required money.
 He Achieved Wisdom
 Now, you are wondering, if you have read this far, whether this misguided and pampered lad ever quit spending. He did. He quit spending when a depression set in, for that was the time when he found himself unable to obtain any more money. At this point, our broken down playboy began to think. Wisdom was forced upon him and he learned the hard way. He found he couldn't even buy a sandwich, and panhandling was out of the question. Rather than starve, he took a farm job feeding pigs.
 If this lad had done what some of our so-called statesmen advo- cate, he would have continued to

A Soldering Conviction

 THAT THERE are some Communists in various gov ernment departments and agencies is fact everybody knows. The number may be exaggerated. The danger often is overstated But they should be removed from federal employment. And they being removed, al- though the process has to be slow not to good many unjust decisions made in haste. One means of wedding out dsloya bureaucrats is the loyalty test exacted of federal workers The easy way around this is for the Communist to deny his utilization

A Fine Example
(ROcky Mountain NewS)

(ROcky Mountain NeWS)
 TWO DAYS AFTER the Taft-Hartley labor bill be- came law, leading representatives of unions and poyers in New York City's construction industry at- tended notable luncheon meeting
 Both sides asserted eagerneSs to stimulate buildnG activity of all types They agreed that costs be held low possble that builders must be able to make accurate cost estimates with reasonable that they wouldn't be exceeded and that projects, dertaken, would be completed without undue delay. . Spokesman for the AFL Building Trades Unions an- nounced that they intended work for repeal of the Taft-Hartey Act, but that meanwhile they would com ply with it's provisions and fulfill all contracts.
 And they promised that at least until 1850, when rent abor-management contracts expire, the unions would put no limitations the output of workers; would settle urisdictonal and agreement disputes by mediation arbitration, without strikes lockouts; would all jobs with sufficient labor and respect the right of employers to hire and discharge
 Such pledge faithfully kept can do much to age building More than that, it be fine example of the patience and moderation which President Tru- recently called upon labor and management to ex- ercise in accommodating themselves to changes made necessary by the new law.
 The vital responsibility for complying with the law
 spirit of tolerance and fairplay of which Mr. Truman spoke, rests just heavily management labor Taft-Hartey Act is unfair to them have, we think, very special reason to display that spirit in all sincerity
 So doing, they most surely regain public good wl and most quickly enlist public support for correc- ton of any provisions of the law which fair test may reveal to be unjust unavoidable destructive of abors essential rights.

borrow and spend. But having thought the matter through, he went to work, even though his hunger was scarcely outdone by that of the pigs he was sent to feed. He had spent all, and he was Tn want. You may read the rest Of this story in Luke IS, for it is the story of the Prodigal Son who finally came to his senses.
 No Money Mill
 Must we as a nation spend all that we have before we come to our senses, like the Prodigal Son? With signs of depression approach ing, we continue to spend, appar- ently from habit. Doing little or nothing about our monstrous na- tional debt of $26O, ,OO0, 100000, we continue to look around trying to find things for which to appropri- ate money. We have come to count off our years as spending" years, in terms of the next budget and appropriations bills.
 It is easy to justify any and ev- cry expenditure. Constituents in each and every community repre- sented by Senator Bloake and Congressman Doake can spout a whole book of reasons why this or that pet project must go through. Folks are inclined to think that the money for the whole thing is a gift, just because they don't see where it comes from. But the founding fathers did not leave at Washington a mill which flows out perpetual dollars.
 Day Of Reckoning
 Maybe it's not a nice thought, but you can't keep on spending money without knowing where it's coming from. This was fact the Prodigal Son discovered. Neither can you safely manufacture cur rency to carry through your spending projects. Either course will soon lead to dire results. A day of reckoning will come to a country that spends all it has, just as it did to the Prodigal Son. Let us have more wisdom than the Prodigal, who found that he could repent only when hard times struck him.
 Our spending, as opposed to sav- ing, has created situation that calls for the best brand of intelli- gent citizenship. It is already time to go to work. We must also impress upon our legislators that if they are to be statesmen, not mere politicians, they must con- serve the wealth of the country rather than lavishly spend it.
 Without being penny wise and pound foolish, we ought to adopt fiscal policies that will cut down our growing debt. There's no pros- pect of doing this unless we do it

A Basic Fault
(The Denver Post)

Cine Denver POSt)
 NEWS FROM LONDON that potatoes are virtually unobanable in the English markets should give our de- partment of agriculture incentive for working out program which will make it unnecessary to destroy any potatoes any other food for that matter in this country at any time.
 When few potatoes destroyed in the south re- gently, Business Week magazine feared the Commun- sts would seize upon the incident to spread propaganda in hungry Europe that the American economic system is entirely irresponsible and wasteful
 Apparently the Communists before they learned of the potato destruction, already had committed them selves to propaganda policy of spreading the report throughout Europe that America is starving At least Europe seems to have heard little about potato plus so far.
 The department of agriculture is trying to arrange for the diversion of surplus potatoes relief agencies stock feeders and alcohol manufacturers There is movement in Congress to encourage the manufacture and use of potato flour
 Statements have been made that if 40 per of the bakers in the country would flour containing per cent mixture of potato flour the entire potato surplus would be taken care of at once.
 So far most of the suggestions for handling the potato issue have ignored of the principal of tro- ble the Steagall amendment under which the govern ment IS committed to support certain farm prices at 90 per cent of parity until January 1, 1949
 Many farm leaders and impressive list of agricul- ura economists have been advancing the idea for time that farm price support program based on the relative purchasing power farm commodities had back before World War is too inflexibe.
 They point out such parity prices do not take into count that eating habits change, thereby causing changes in the demand for specific products.
 For example, in the last thirtyve forty years the per capita consumption of potatoes in this country has dropped from 192 pounds year to 127 pounds Yet po tato prices supported the basis of the former sumer demand and production naturally is based the former demand rate also.
 It is early to predict that the working out of new farm program will be of the principal issues before Congress in 1948 It is reasonable to believe support never will be withdrawn entirely from farm prices but there is growing sentiment for support pro- gram which will function only in times of low prices and will allow the law of supply and demand regulate in part the production of individual crops.

REPOR TER
souAWK CLUB
BY I've
KENNEWICK COURIER

The regular meeting of the
Amalgamated Squawkers was
practically a bust this week. Be-
cause Of the balmy weather early
in the week members became
confused. Some went to the win
ter hide-out while others hied
themselves to the summer camp.
Others just naturally took advant-
age Of the weather to stay home
and rake up their winter collec-
ton of leaves. However one lone
member held forth and maintained
the blemished record Of the club.
II don't see why" he began,
squirting his eyes, "some people
walk on the wrong side of the
walk and thereby bump into
everybody they meet. Further
more ! don't see why many QUITO
drivers think cross walks are their
sole property and that pedestrians
have no rights at all. I don't see
why kids find it necessary to park
their bicycles at all angles at any
point. I don't see why .
At that point we tip-toed away
and left the lone lamenter to his
grief.
