Looking Ahead
(By the World staff of the Associated Press

One point that Republican leaders have in
mind in pushing ahead with tax reductions
before appropriation bills are passed is this:
With Government income settled first, the
pressure for balanced budget may lead men,
bers to vote for deeper cuts in appropriations.
If spending were settled first, pressure might
be against cutting taxes. .,.
One phase of appropriation that hasn't been
talked about much is that the money voted
and to be voted by Republican-domin
Congress will be available for spending by the
Democratic administration when the election
campaigns roll around.
Democrats point out these dollars won't 60 to
help in elections, but people who vote will
benefit.
Republicans scott at any suggestions they'll
be blamed If appropriations are low. They con-
tend they were elected to cut expenses and
that the voters will like it.

He Serves His FeliOwman

When a man does his work well, he should be told. When
a man does his work when obstacles and handicaps are placed
before him at the outset, and he comes out victorious, he
should be praised. When a man serves his feilownan, his
church. and his God unseIfishly to the utmost OF his capacity,
his ability as a leader should stand unchallenged bylhis fell
bowman. @@ -
In the city Of Omaha the citizens Of the EMidCxty area
have for the past two years been privileged to have such a
man amongst them. A man whose work in the religious
field stands unparalleled in the history of the Christian church
of Omaha, A man whose wise counsel, great vision, and un-
diving faith in his work has caused him to- be in constant de
mand by all peoples of Omaha regardless oil racial identity.
His experience and wisdom has been sought after ana used to
the fullest by men and women that desired a greater know
ledge, deeper understanding, and a fuller meaning OF the
Father and the Son, Jesus Christ.
His leadership with his good wife al his side the past two
years as head of the largest A M. E. church of the city in the
Mid.City area has been an inspiration to all that have become
acquainted with him. Their work among the young people
as well as with the adults of the ST. Jonn's church is testimony
in itself of the splendid work these two have performer here
IN Omaha.
In a little more than two weeks this man and his wife will

It Has Happened There

President Of Harding College |"
SeoKyA Arkansas

MOST OF US thought it would
never happen. But it has. Ac-
cording to the Associated Press,
the House Of Commons On August
8 approved a bill giving the Brit
ish government authority to tell
its people where they must work
and what they must do. This
means that the government may
order men and women to do what
ever job it pleases; coal mining.
farming, fishing - anything.
Moreover, it e that the gov
eminent may choose the place
where any ma or cnla must
work.
This is a drastic step. Why is
individualt freedom thus de-
stroyed .b1a country with such a
long reeord Of high devotion to
the individual citizen and to free
dom? The answer is simple. Two
years ago a soeialiStic govern
ment embarked upon a campaign
for government management of
leading industries in England.
Things were in such a bad way,
because of weakness from war,
that the people permitted this.
A Last THE SOCIALISTIC
Resort government relied up
on nationwide sympa-
thy and cooperation. However,
this lasted only a few weeks.
Then, as absenteeism set in and
productivity Jagged, the whole
system begged down. The crisis
came last winter, when a terrible
coal famine came to that country
with plenty of coal under ground.
Under socialism. crisis thrives on
crisis, and there were more to
come. In these crises, it is easy
for men to accept disaster, If
they think it will prevent more
disaster.
This is what has happened. In
an apparent final resort to keep

now found that loss Of individual

others that have accepted the

ingly give up the freedoms for

A considerable number Of our
people are evidently inspired by
foreign ideologies, and some are
asking for government control Of
American industry. This step
England is now taking is a real
warning to all American workers
that with government manage

surely come government dictation
to workers. The workers, in the
face of constant crisis, are told
where to work and what to do.
