The Hand Of Destiny

(The Wyoming Eagle)
 ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD is Harry Truman President of the United States today.
 And only by of act of Congress did Speaker of the House Joe Martin instead of George Marshall within hairbreadth of being the first Republican President since 1882.
 On Saturday September 6, Harry Truman narrowly y escaped death mountain road in Brazil. The open touring in which he riding skidded the mud dy road, jumped low retaining wall-and hung there scant six inches of dirt prevented the and its cupants from plunging thousand five hundred feet and down the rocky cliff
 scan six inches of dirt stood between Joe Martin and the Presidency of the United States.
 There being at present vice-president, the recent Congress changed the law regarding Presidential leaders agreed They believed that elected by the people should occupy the White House, and not appointve official the secretary of state So the law was passed by Congress and signed by the Pres- dent-a law that decrees that when Vice President has succeeded to the Presidency and he dies he shall be succeeded by the Speaker of the House of Representa- tves; and the Speaker cannot qualify then the Sena who presides over the Senate shall become Pres dent
 Three tmse since the turn of the century has Pres dent died in office-William Mckinley, Warren c. Vice President became chief executive Calvin Coolidge Harry Truman.

siStance this nation furnishes un- der the Marshall plan to increase production. They shouldn't be al- lowed to fritter away loans or do- nations on socialistic experiment tation.
 American taxpayers have a per sonal stake in this European relief business. It is their money. Whe- ther they get tax reduction next year may depend upon how much it costs to implement the Marshall plan President Truman, in veto- ing the tax cut bills passed by Congress this year, argued that the surplus of revenues over gov ernmental spending should be used to reduce the national debt. Whittling down that deb: is inn portant. But there is a strong Sus- picion he intends to use the pros pective surplus first for foreign re- lief.
 Walter E. Spahr, professor of economics at New York university and executive vice president of the economists rational commit tee on monetary policy, voiced a timely warning in the August Tax Review" AS a nation" he said, five have not been. and still | are not, greatly unlike the profli- gate spending individual who scat ters to the winds and gives to all corners the savings passed on to him by his ancestors. While we have been, and are being, Santa Claus at home and abroad, we should realize that once this wealth is dissipated THERE IS NOWHERE IN THE WORLD A SANTA CLAUS FOR THE PEO- PILE OF THE UNITED STATES We had better not forget that.
 Ecuador certainly is in a fix. She has had three presidents in less than two weeks and none of those was elected by the people. Ideas of democracy in some Latin American countries are as strange as those of Soviet Russia's rulers.
 The navy definition of overseas service" is silly. Under it. service men and women who never were stationed overseas and never ac- | tually served overseas are entitled to an extra $l00 mastering out pay because they travelled through Mexican or Canadian points from one U. s. station to another. Any person who travelled beyond the three-mile limit of the United States is classified as having serv- ed overseas. Just how much that will cost nobody knows.
 Maybe, as President Truman says, Congress and the people will be 'proud of the success of UNRRA when the final report of that or ganization is made public. But mere figures showing that up to the end of last March UNRRA had shipped 22,239,217 tons of supplies valued at more than two and one-half billion dollars to for eign nations and that of these sup | plies the United States furnished l6,650,000 tons valued at 1900 million dollars afford no accurate measure of the success of this gi. gantic relief operation.
