AN EFFECTIVE FORCE

If anyone believes that retailers
are principally concerned with how
to dredge more dollars out of price
conscious consumers, he should read
the reports of recent conventions
and meeting atseRaed by leaders IN
the merchandising field.
The most intense attention has
been given to ways and means of
preventing further price increases,
and to reducing prices whenever
possible. Equal attention has been
given to the possibility of improv-
ing the quality Of goOds-which, if
achieved, is in itself form of price
control.
In the day by day course of bust
ness, retailers have been working
closely with manufacturers on these
related problems of price and quail
ity. The objective is TO reduce costs
in every possible directiOn-and to.
rass the saving on TO the buyer.
It is difficult for the individual
consumer to measure the results Of
these undertakings. All he knows
is that the cost of many articles has
continued to 60 up, and the cost

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

It has been said that hunger
and cold are communism's most eff
ficient allies. That aphorism under
lies the present United States for.
eign policy, with its emphasis or
material aid to nations threatened
by Soviet diplomatic and economic
aggression.
France is a perfect example OF
this. France must have two basic
materials from the United States
and if she doesn't get them from US
the way will be paved for her com
plete descent into totalitarianism
One of the commodities is wheat
Frances own crop will be only a.
bout one-fifth of her normal pre-
war GRIP. The other commodity is
coal-and, to quote Life editorial.
Coal for France means the diff
ference between just getting by and
utter industrial collapse"
Fortunately, the United States
will have a bumper crop this year,
end filling Frances requirInents will
not be an excessive drain. Coal,
however, is another item. We have
plenty Of it in the ground. But
or to serve ourselves unless the
miners get it out. To quote Life
once more, THE man who burns
coal in Main Street must understand
why he must conserve just as clear
ly as John L. Lewis must under
stand the necessity of avoiding a
coal strike" If we fail to deliver
the coal, we will be playing straight
into the hands of the communists.
If France ever enters the Soviet
orbit, the iron curtain will soon
cover all of Europe
What this amounts to is that
American materials are now dip
lomatic weapon. IF the greatest
democratic power in the world can
not succor distressed peoples, strick-
en- nations will turn to the greatest
dictatorship in the world, and the
cause of human freedom will be
irretrievably damaged Here is the
ultimate challenge to American in
oustry-and to American labor.

As the first Republican Congress
in fifteen years draws toward its
close, the country is beginning to
evaluate its achievements. The sum
of public opinion will be Of great
political Importance, inasmuch as
the program which the Republicans
have started will provide the cam
paign issues for next years preSi-
dental race.
In the early days of the current
Congress, the Republican leadership
was widely criticized for what
seemed to be an excessive slow
ness in getting started. That criticism
was based, at least in part, on mis-
conceptions. For example, it takes
a freshman senator several years
to get on to the traditions, pro-
cedures and customs of the Senate.
The Republicans labored under the
disadvantages of having very few
old-timers in their ranks, and a dis
proportionately large Number of
their senators were brand new, and
green as grass. Some of the Demo-
Gratis of long standing took full ad
vantage of this, and constantly tossed
monkey wrenches into the creaking
legislative machinery. Under these
conditions, the Republicans did a
good job in organizing their bat
talions and starting the wheels roll
ing. Much of the credit for this
must go to Senator Taft, who. re-
gardless of ones views as to his
opinions, is an able parliamentarian
In the all-important field of for
eign affairs, the Republicans stead
tasty maintained a bipartisan policy
due in large to the leadership of
Senator Vandenberg. The pinciple
Executive recommendation the Tur-
key-Greek aid bill, passed easily,
with a minimum of debate. The ap-
pointment of Secretary Marshall
was as warmly received by the
Republicans as by the Democrats.
Thus, the COP has done its full !
part in helping this country present /
a united front to the world.
Biggest domestic issue in the
Republican program was a labor !
bill It is apparent now that Mr.
Truman plans to use the labor issue /
as a major campaign argument when 4
he runs next year-and everyone /
is certain he will be the candidate. /
But the record of his party mem
bers on the labor bill will be
weakness so far as he is concerned.
In the final Senate vote, nearly as
many Democrats voted to override
the veto as to sustain it. All his
efforts to promote party solidarity
in this matter were unavdlling, and
the split was virtually complete.
This was not the fault of the Demo
cratic floor leaders, who did every
thing to gain support rcr me Presi
dent. Sentiment just ran the other
way.
The Republicans promised a tax
reduction bill, and they delivered ,
the goods in this as well The great
majority of the party in the House [
voted to override the Presidential
veto, but they simply didn't have /
enough votes. Regardless Of the [
wisdom OF tax reduction now, the
party leadership was ex alient.

TO BUT ONE xND

II would seem that is has been
well demonstrated 70 the peoples OF
the world, including the United
States, that government planning
and management of industry lead
to but one end-the totalitarian
state, in which the people exist for
the government.
This fact should be pondered by
those who believe that it is pos
sible to let the government dominate
some phases of our economic life
and at the same time permit enter
prise in other phases. Such belief
is based on one of the most dan
gerous of all theories-that a ma
ton can have an economy which is
partly socialist and partly free. That
theory has long been tried in other
countries, and in every instance Soc
ialism has swallowed free enter
prise.
That is why our Federal program
for sOcializing the electric utility
industry has an Importance which
cannot be measured by its effect
on this industry alone It directly
contradicts all the basic principles
upon which this government was
founded and on which it has grown
great Can any man seriously be-
lieve that if one basic industry is
socialized by the state, with all the
political power and patronage in
volved, that other industries will be
unmolested? If it is a proper fun
ction of our government to furnish
electricity. it is also proper for it
10 furnish nc tsyffb food rauycnanarc
manufactured articles, housing, and
everything else.
The wealth and power of this ma
ton stemmed from the free enter
prise system-and from philosophy
of government which said unequi-
vocally that the rights of individual
were eternal and irrevocable. The
greatest obligation of us all is to
preserve that system and that philo-
sophy for the generations to come.

urging each of the 81 associations
now active in the State to send some
one to the school for training. No

The tax on Co-operatives was then

L can spend hours writing what l
consider to be a real editorial, and
never hear a word about it. But
just let me spell mans name wrong,
or get his initials twisted, and his
whole family is on my neck.
There was a really worthwhile,
straight from the shoulder discussion
of the tax situation, at the last c.
of c. directors luncheon meeting.
Our State Senator, Delegates, the
heads of the city and county govern
ments, representatives of the junior
chamber, two members of the Cum
berland c. of c., and representatives
of the press were present.
The meeting, which covered every
phase of the troublesome tax ques-
ton, lasted for over two hours, with
everyone having the opportunity to
freely express their opinion.
It seemed to me that the discus
sion brought out these three main
points: "a Less taxing and more saw
ing. (2) If there has to be new
taxes, then statewide sales tax
would be preferred. CD The Sher-
bow report should be thrown out
the window.
1t was my pleasure to be guest
at the Hagerstown Round Tables
dinner meeting on Thursday night,
when over a hundred Hagerstown
men and women, interested in de-
veloping understanding and coop
Grafton among Protestants, Catholics
and Jews, gathered together to hear
an address on that subject by DR..
Everett r. Clinchy, a Presbyterian
minister.
While those who were fortunate
enough to hear DIR. Clinchy, could not
help but be inspired by his address,
the pity was that the talk could not
be heard by those many, many hun
dreds who, either from misunder-
standing or prejudice, carry false i'm
pressions of members of any faith
but their own.
Maybe the officers of the Round
Table can persuade DR.. Clinchy to
come back sometime and address a
mass meeting in one of the big
auditoriums.
