Surplus In Treasury

The fiscal year ended with a sur
plus in the United States Treasury,
Two months ago President Truman
thought it might be all of $3.50, 000,-
900. Instead, five days before July l.
it totaled $1,142,8 1926 900, and on the
last day of the year this was reduced
by an interest payment on the $257,
700, 900, 900 national debt topping $780,
600, 600. =
Thus it drops below the billion mark.
but will be reinforced in part from
quarterly income taxes that fell due or
June 16.
The exact amount is not available,
but any surplus, certainly one nearing
ten figures, encourages the hope that
Congress will repass the tax reduction
bill and pass it again if President Tru.
man should again veto it.

Mail Delivery Reduction

Wilmingtonians are confronted with
reduced mail delivery service. Wher
September rolls around heavy cuts will
have had to be made in seventeen
auxiliary routes, most Of which were
established when the population mount
ed with the coming of war activities.
Some routes will have to be abandoned,
others now providing two daily deliv-
cries will have to be reduced to one
And still other routes will have to be
lightened because overtime deliveries
are ordered reduced by SO per cent.
Postal appropriations have been
slashed to the extent that all post Of
fices must curtail delivery service.
Wilmingtonians' only consolation is that
they have not been singled out for
exclusive disfavor. Everybody will suf-
fer alike.
Whether the Congress, in it's pres
ent economy move, has acted wisely
toward the Post Office department is
not for the layman to determine. But
it might be considered, and brought
to the attention of Congress, that
nearly one-half of the country's bust
ness is carried or through the mails,
and that the heavy reductions made
necessary in deliveries because Of the
lower appropriations might all too
easily bring about IN equally heavy
reduction in the nations business
transacted by mail, with the result that
firms thus affected would face added
difficulty III meeting income and other
taxes.
Government spending is unques-
tionably too high. The Congress is right
in seeking ways to reduce the cost of
government. At the same time legis-
lation that interferes with normal bust
ness cannot be considered wise legis-
lation.
Surely there are federal ~extravaq-
ances that can be stopped without loss
to business and with gain for the peo-
pie. Senator Byrd has pointed out
dozens of economies that ought to be
put into force. If they were, the postal
services might have an adequate de-
livery program everywhere.

delegates had no instructions;
Delaware was divided; only South
Carolina and Pennsylvania were
opposed. The next day, July 3,
Congress met in regular session
and the three states last named
voted formally with the nine in
favor Of the resolution.
Meanwhile, on June II, a COM
mite consisting of Thomas JEFF
~ferson, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman and
Robert Livingston had been ap-
pointed to draw up a declaration
OF the reasons for separation. The
document itself was the work Of
Jefferson, though a few correc-
tons were made by other mem
bers Of the committee, and a few
amendments by Congress.
On July 4, the Declaration was
adopted by the vote of twelve
states, but it was signed on that
date only by John Hancock, presi-
cent Of Congress. Later, the docu-
ment was engrossed on parchment
and, on August 2, this copy was

their old employees to return to
work. # the old employees didn't
choose to do so the mine operator

ed with John L. Lewis. Mine
owners might also try to break
away from the union shop, which
requires all employees to join the
union.
These conditions would put the
coal industry on an open-shop
basis, with bargaining by regions
or by state, local Or individual
company units. If these changes
could be put over, the power of
the union would be broken and
John L. Lewis would be licked.
But suppose that the new en-
ployes got together in a new loca.
union Of the United Mine Workers
and decided to bargain.
Since the United Mine Workers
Union had not been certified as
bargaining agent under the Taft
Hartley Act, the first step would
be to hold another NLRB election.
This would take another month.
First the union would have to
register with the Secretary Of
Labor under the Taft-Hartley Act
provisions. The union would have
to certify that none of its officers
was a Communist, file full finan-
cial reports, and certify that
copies had been furnished all it's
members.
Then the union would have to
get 80 per cent of the employees
OF the unit to sign petitions des-
tignating the United Mine Workers
Union as bargaining agent.
In the meantime, a lot of
secondary issues would have to be
settled: status of foremen, super
visory employees, professional en-
ployes, agreement on checkoff,
how to deal with non-member en-
ployes.
All Of these decisions would be
subject to court review. A mini

eminating from Russian sources con-

the United States.
Secretary of State Marshall answers
Mr.. Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Com
missar, who has blocked acceptance Of
the Marshall Plan at the three-nation
conference in Paris, by laying down a
four-plank platform disproving all that
Molotov charges during an address
before the National Womens Press club
in Washington.
American aid for Europe, he says
"shall be effectively used for the pur-
pose for which it was intended. This
SOC as outlined. in Mr. MarshalPs
Harvard speech, is the economic recon-
struction of countries willing to help
themselves and for the relief OF their
impoverished people.
The second plank is that the Amerl-
can aid should not be used for selfish
economic or political interests" The
third plank specifies that it must be
used to assist in economic rehabilita-
tion." The fourth: that it should serve
the purpose "of restoring hope and
confidence among the people concerned
that the world will know peace and Sc
curity in the future"
How is it possible to lodge a charge
of dollar Imperialism against any OF
these planks? The fact is that instead
of dollar Imperialism for this nation
the aid proposed by the Marshall Plan,
if extended at all, represents a dollar
sacrifice for the American people, from
whom must come every penny invested
in the reconstruction and rehabilita-
ton of Europe.
There is no good reason to believe
that the Paris conference of Britain's,
Frances's and Russia's foreign minis
tiers will have promoted either peace in
Europe or Europe's recovery, and the
blame will lie at Moscow's gates.
The outcome is liable to be a division
of Europe into two spheres of influ-
ence-the eastern sphere under Rus
sia's domination, the western consist
ing primarily of England, France and
the part of Germany occupied by the
United States, Great Britain and
France.
This prospect is tragic, chiefly be-
cause alterations in geographical from
tiers 50 easily lead to war. One of the
worst blunders in the Versatile treaty
was its shuffling of national boun-
diaries. A Germany half communistic
and half democratic would be a perfect
incubator for war.

WASHINGTON, - Biggest point
Of debate among lawyers studying
the new Taft-Hartley Labor Law
is how the courts can frame an
injunction to stop the coal industry
tie-up now threatened.
The courts can't compel anyone
to work if he doesn't want to. The
Constitution says so. And the con-
tract between the Unied M j n e
Workers Union and the mine own
ers ended June 30. So the courts
can't order the miners to 60 back
to work under previous working
conditions as to hours and pay.
But assume for the sake of argu>
ment that the courts can get
around these obstacles by dicta-
ting the terms of a new contract
OF the judges own devising or by
ordering the miners to return to
work under terms of the expired
Krug-Lewis contract.
Under the Taft-Hartley law this
injunction run for only 60
days, while labor and manage
ment try to make a new contract.
At the end Of 60 days the Presi-
dent could call back his Board OF
Inquiry. This Board would then
make public the employers last
offer Of settlement. Within is days
the National Labor Relations
Board would. have to conduct an
election to e if a majority Of the
employees wanted to accept this
final offer. This election would
cost the government about $3.50,
900.
If a majority Of the miners
voted to accept, the contract
would be drawn up on such terms.
If they ote d against accepting,
within the next five days the at
torney general would have to ask
the courts to dissolve the injunct-
ion. Thus 30 days after the in.
junction was first granted the
miners would be free to 20 out on
strike again.
The Taft-Hartley law would then
require the President to report the
situation 10 Congress. If Congress
didn't happen to be in session al
at that time-say about Oct. mo

would happen.

FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE

Importance Of the Panama
Canal to the security not only to
the country but of the whole
hemisphere from destruction by
any power it's military defense
must be provided for, in peace
as well as in war.
The new agreement with the
Republic of Panama proposed by
the state department for the con-
tinued use of certain bases in
Panamanian territory recognizes
that fact.
During the war the United
States armed forces occupied,
under agreement with Panama,
134 areas outside the 1O-mile-wide
Canal Zone. Thirty-six Of these,
mainly technical installations es-
sential to safe air navigation, are
still in use.
United States bases for protec-
ton of the canal help defend the
integrity of all the American
states and threaten none. They
are used for joint security, MOI

THE UNITED STATES)
WHY AMERICANS CELEBRATE

4TH OF ULY
The 4th of July is celebrated in
the United States because it was
On that date in 1776 that Congress
adopted the Declaration of indie
pendence, proclaiming the indie
pendence of the thirteen original
colonies and separating them
from England.
The adoption OF the Declaration
was not a sudden act. For ten
years the colonists had ben ac-
lively resisting King George III
and the British Parliament, chief
iy because of taxes levied on
them. They believed that Parlia-
ment had no right to tax them,
since they had no voice in Parli-
ament. The cry, mo taxation
without representation" had been
heard up and down the land.
In 1774 and ITS, elected dele
gates from the colonies had met
in the first two Continental Con-
crosses in defiance of British rule.
In ITS, blood had been shed in
battles with British troops at Lex
ington. Concord and Bunker Hill.
An American army had been or
ganized under George Washing
ton. Ticonderoga and Montreal
had been captured from the Brit
ish, Quebec had been attacked,
and Boston had been besieged.
Despite all this, the colonies
were slow to move for absolute
independence, but by the spring
OF 1776, the belief that separation
was. necessary had grown strong
er. One by one, various colonies
declared for independence.
Then, on June z, 1776, Richard
Henry Lee Of Virginia offered a
resolution in Congress "that these
United Colonies are, and of right
to be free and independent
states" Action was postponed for
three weeks in order that the del
egates might hear from home.
On July 2, the resolution was
taken up in the Committee of the
Whole. Nine states voted to adopt
it. New York was excused, as its

~Student-Veterans Hard Hit

The CT Bill of Rights, which was
first hailed as the economic salvation
of veterans, is proving a dud, so far
as higher education for former service
men is concerned. The trouble may
stem from the fact that the Bill of
Rights was instituted before the war
ended and did not (maybe could not)
take into consideration the inflationary
rise following the cessation of hostili-
ties.
The City College of New York's de-
partment of sociality has been studying
the situation for six months. A report
recently completed contains the find
ings of a survey of living conditions
of 267 married and single veterans and
Is nonveterans.
Financial hardship, inadequate hous-
ing and Encouragement of student
veterans are outstanding features of
the report.
In most cases married veteran stu
dents at college must spend $181.92
and the single student $84.95 a month
to live. The married veteran receives
a $50 allowance and the unmarried
veteran $65 a month. Both face a
monthly deficit. The report shows that
for the most part this difference
is nlade up by Withdrawals of savings
or the sale of war bonds. Some of the
wives of veterans are able to secure
full or rart-time jobs.
But, as the report points out, the
average veterans savings cannot last
much longer, o can his war bonds.
And, further, the purpose of creating
a nest egg by holding on to bonds until
they mature is defeated when they are
cashed in. If savings and bonds 90
in full to sustain life while the vet
terans are at school what are they to
do when they receive their diplomas
but lack jobs?
1t is not probable that veteran-stu-
dents will unite in a petition to have
CT allowances increased sufficiently to
pay for their total support. But the re-
port adds that many queried feel that
a minimum of $119.18 for married
veterans and $92.60 for single veterans
would help them make ends meet"
If revision of the CT Bill of Rights
should be considered the fact that COL
lege or university training would bet
ter enable veterans to face the prob
lens of civilian life ought to be an
argument for increasing these allow
