Webster On Liberty

Constitution Day, September II, passed
with little public attention. With the forces
of evil marshaled under the standards OF
communism and fascism too strongly en-
trenched in our private and public lie,
we gave little thought to the Oh
which our national existence is founded.
It is to be hoped that Bill of Rights Day,
September Is, will be given more thought
by every American, as it is the amendments
to the Constitution comprising the Bill OF
Rights that give us the rights of free speech,
free worship, a free press, the right OF free
assembly, as they exist in no other country
now.
In his eulogy on General Washington,
Daniel Webster had something to say about
constitutional American liberty We should
take to heart. Although the eulogy is in
the florid oratorical style Of his day, Webs
ter stated certain truths no loyal person
should ever forget. We quote:
"Other misfortunes may be borne, or their
effects overcome. If disastrous war should
sweep our from the ocean,, another
generation might renew it; if is exhaust our
treasury, future industry may replenish it;
if it desolate and lay waste our fields, still,
under a new cultivation, they will grow
green again, and ripen to future harvests.
1T were but a trifle even if the walls
of yonder Capitol were to crumble, if its
lofty pillars should fall, and its gorgeous
decorations be all covered by the dust OF the
valley. All these may be rebuilt.
"But who shall. reconstruct the fabric OF
demolished government?
"Who shall rear again the well-proportlon-
ed columns of constitutional liberty?
"Who shall frame together the skillful
architecture which unites national sovelgnty
with State rights, individual security, and
Public prosperity? g
"No if these columns fall, they will be
raised not again. Like the Coliseum and
the Parthenon, they will be destined to a
mournful and melancholy immortality. Bit
terrier tears, however, will flow over them
than were ever shed over the monuments
of Roman or Grecian art; for they will be
the monuments of a more glorious edlflce
than Greece or Rome ever saw, the edltlce OF
constitutional American liberty"

Today And Tomorrow
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

(which fixed the boundaries
where the converging armies
were to meet, and were to wait
while the governments negoti-
ated the terms of peace which
would provide for the withdraw
al of the armies. The crucial
issue in the world today is
whether the Yalta military
boundary, which was intended
to be provisional for the period
of the armistice, is to become
the political boundary of two
hostile coalitions.
The Yalta line registered an
agreed estimate by Roosevelt,
Churchill, and Stain as to what
would be the actual military sit
uation at the close of hostilities.
They knew that the Red Army
would be in Warsaw,
Bucharest, Budapest, Belgrade
and Sofia. So Churchill and Roo
sevelt recognized that the mill
tary boundary for the armistice
would place eastern Europe
within the Soviet sphere. The
British, IN the other hand, were
in Athens; the British-Ameri-
cans were in Italy: therefore,
Stain recognized that Italy and
Greece would be within the Bri-
fish and American sphere. The
Americans, it was evident, were
paramount in the Pacific and

likewise silly. OPA never did
have any luck in rolling back
prices in wartime, though it
talked a great deal about the
theory.
Only roll-backs that were put
over were done with the help of
subsidies. That is, the taxpay-
ers, through the government,
paid the producers the differ
ence between the legal ceiling
price and the actual, higher
costs of production.
It is hard to believe that the
present economy-minded, con-
sentative = dominated Congress
would appropriate money for a
lot of consumers subsidies in
1948. The only way congress
men might do it is if they
thought it would help them get
re-electd next year.
First demands for restoration
Of OPA controls seem to be COM
ing from union labor leaders
who want the cost of living
brought down. These demands
aren't making any Roadway be-
cause they bump into the gen.
eral contention that any reduc-
ton in prices by law must be
accompanied by a similar re-
duction in wages. It doesn't
take even a Kindergarten intel
lect to know that nobody wants
to have his wages reduced. even
if it would lower his cost of liv-
ing.
It is possible to talk till the
vioce gives out on the theory
that prices could be lowered if
industry would just cut profits.
That bill Of goods can't be sold.
The one argument that produc-
ers have been able to use most
effectively to explain today's
high prices is their alibi that
postwar wage increases have
raised their costs so much they
have had to raise prices.
Summing up this case, the
only conclusion seems to be that
since Congress and the Admins
tration decided to abolish price
and wage controls, the country
is stuck with high wages and
high prices till Nature takes it's
own sweet and deliberate course
and brings them down like ar.
tumn leaves in an economic
change of season.
The public is therefore NOW

mistakes of l946. when controls

days demands for bringing back
you bonny OPA to you make a
pretty song, but it's largely nos
talgia for the good old days of
50-cent beefsteak, butter and
eggs, and it's wishful thinking.
There isn't a chance that a price
control law could be brought
back, either dead or alvie.
Congress isn't in session, and
therefore wouldn't be able to do
anything about it for four
months. That may be too late.
You can bet your bottom in
flated, 5O-cent dollar, that the
congressional price investigat-
ing committees now barnstrom-
ing the country aren't going to
find any new solution for the
high cost of living. They may
discover to their own but no
body else's amazement just
how unpopular high prices are.
They may come back to make
some red-hot speeches demand
ing lower prices. But as Pres
|ident Truman has learned by
now, prices just can't be talked
down.
Even if Congress were of a
mind to pass a law restoring
|OPA, it might not do any good.
Some of the more conservative
economists think along these
lines:
If price ceilings were put back
on everything, they would have
to be at present price levels.
That might stop prices from 60
ing any higher. But it wouldn't
make them any lower. And it's
lower prices that are wanted
not a law freezing today's high
prices.
Experience with wartime price
controls showed that, whenever
a fixed, dollars and cents cell
ing price was put on any article,
this maximum price tended to
become the minimum as long as
the supply was less than the de-
mand. Goods sold on the black
market always went for more
than the legal ceiling.
If price ceilings were reim-
posed-with shortages of every
thing still pretty acute-the
black market which would de-
velop would make the old war
time black market look Like a
bargain counter. Prices on a
black market today would real
ly teach the consuming public
the meaning of that ugly word.

Any idea that a new, peace
time OPA could roll back prices

when the old OPA passed out is

In spite of the current sky-high
prices, American farmers are
being told by Elmer H. Sexa,,er
wee president of the United
states Chamber of Commerce
to prepare to cut down their pro.
duction.
His argument was that 50
long as the United States feeds
and clothes a large portion of
the worlds population, Amari-
can farmers need have no fears
about getting high prices for
their corn and wheat, their pork
ana beef. But, he went on, this
situation can continue only for
a limited number of wears.
therefore American farmers
mad better be thinking about
ways of tapering off lest thew
pury themselves in unwanted
produce.
No competent economist has
ever undertaken to show that
the farmers of the world can
produce more than the people
OF the world can eat. On the
contrary, the real difficulty is
that many cannot pay for the
1000 they should have. It is not
necessary to cite the rice diets
OF emma and India to make this
point. 1t can be demonstrated
an too easily in sections of the
United States.
What is needed, then, is not a
cut IN production, but a cut in
1000 costs. Certainly, a way
ought to be found to reverse
the spiral Of initiation before II
spins into a crash. Beyond that.

would play the leading part in
the defeat of Japan. So the Unit
ed States was recognized as the
paramount power in Japan.
There was some doubt as to
where the Red Army and the
Western armies would meet in
Germany and Austria. The Val
ia line was, therefore, the result
of a combined military estimate
Of where they would probably
find themselves when the Ger
man resistance had finally been
crushed. Actually the Americans
advanced beyond that line But
at Yalta it was by no means
certain that they would reach
that line, and there is excellent
authority for saying that Mr..
Churchill felt he had made as
good a bargain as British-Ameri-
can military prospects war
ranted.
The Yalta line in the Far East
was settled on the sans basis
that is to say, on an agreed
estimate of the balance of pow
er at the close of hostilities.
There has been, I believe, a
misunderstanding about this in
the United States. The conces-
sions made to Stain by Roo
sevelt and Churchill have been
represented as being the price
they paid for Soviet intervention
in the Japanese war. The con-
cessions, it is then said, were
unnecessary. For Japan was al
ready defeated or would soon
have been, what with the block
ade, the air raids ard the
atomic bomb, and therefore no
price need have been paid for
Soviet participation.
Now it may be true probably
it is true that Roosevelt and
the American military COM
mand overestima ted the strength
OF Japan, and that in agreeing
to the Soviet claims they thought
they were paying a price that
had to be paid if the Japanese
war was to be won completely
and fairly soon. But, in fact.
the Russians were in a position
to occupy the territory they ask
ca for and more besides, wheth-
or not they entered the war.
Their armies were on the bor-
GERS OF Manchuria and northern
and ours were not. The
concessions which Roosevelt and

was in fact conceded to StaE1

The Yalta military bounduI

was, I believe, at this junctuI
that American diplomacy b
came confused, lost sight Of ID

 The complaint was made by Tur- kish Delegate Selin Sarpar in reply to Andrei Y. Vishinsky's charges that the United States, Greece and Turkey were permitting "warmon- gering'' against the Soviet Union.
 Sarpar charged that Russia, through propaganda, was trying to turn the Turkish people against the United States by spreading re- ports that the United States was taking over Turkish military bases under the Truman aid program.
