Building On Sand

(Rocky Mountain News)
 ISTAN RES, Hungarian minister of justice, has an- nounced plans to revise the countrys election laws that the Russian puppet government is firmly in the saddle
 "Al who without doubt enemies of democracy must be excluded from the franchise, he said. Demo cratic rights can be given only to democrats"
 When Mr. Ries says democratic" and democrats v of course he means Communistc and Communists "En- emies are those who do not vote the Red ticket.
 The Communists were found to be in the minority at the last election in Hungary. Now it appears they areto be made the majority party by forbidding all but Com munists to vote at future elections.
 will be interesting to see how this system of manip- uated elections works out after withdrawal of the Rus sian army of occupation Hungarians never have en- joyed the political freedoms which accepted in- aenable rights in America But they have fought ageousy to obtain them under varying forms of oppres sion In all probability that fight will continue under the Red dictatorship.
 The Hitler and Mussolin brands of Fascism did not endure and the Sovets building their totataran empire on the same foundations of sand
 Sooner later the structure will collapse whether from pressure within without.

House Rejects Cemetery Request

WASHINGTON, P--The war departments request for funds for cemeteries in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska was rejected today by the House appropriations commit tee.
 Chairman Engel R.-Mich) of the military appropriations sub- committee made public a letter in which he advised secretary of war Patterson he considered the pro- posed expenditures "outrageously high"
 He said the departments esti- mates, submitted near the end of his committees hearings on money bill for army civil func- tions, included $7.OOO for a flag pole, $50 foot for fence and $7,600 an acre for topsoiling. Engel also said there is no legis- lative authority for appropriations for cemeteries in Alaska and Puerto Rico.
 Engel said the war department asked $348,700 for the cemetery in Alaska, or almost $6O, ,OOO for each of the six acres to be developed in the 20-acre cemetery.
 Proposed expenditures he item ized included $7,OOO for flagpole, $52, 800 for fencing at $50 foot, $l4,000 for a temporary, shed type utility building and $45,6O0 for topsoiling, humus, fertilizer and seeding six acres.

In recent address to the Fed erotion of Taxpayers Association of his state, Congressman Cotton of New Hampshire warned that "the government will spend all the money it can get" and declar- ed 'the only way to reduce the cost of government is to reduce the revenue of government" That is common sense. By his veto of the tax reduction measure Presi- dent Truman took his stand with the spenders and called for con mutation of the open season on the taxpayers.
 The Presidents argument that tax reduction now would increase inflationary- pressure is ridiculous What it boils down to is a conten-
The Nome nugget., 1947-06-27
THAT'S THAT

President Truman cut his own political throat. His veto of the tax reduction bill earned for him the dubious distinction of being the first president to veto tax cut. This action on the eve of his campaign for reelection, raises a doubt as to whether he really wants another term. Certainly, de- nying relief to all the millions of American taxpayers is strange method of soliciting their ballots in 1948. Even if the Presidents charges of inequalities and dis criminations in the tax cuts voted by Congress are well founded any kind of tax reduction is better than none.

Marshall Forces The Issue
(The Denver Post)

(The Denver POSt)
 THE RUSSIAN REACTION to the Marshall program for reconstruction of Europe exactly as expected The splutterng of Pravda organ of the Russian Com munst party may be taken the orerunner of off cial Soviet rejection.
 It is blast at the U S. plan Pravda says the United States seeks to make it appear it wants to help Europe while Russia and the nations of her eastern European bloc are excluding themselves from Europe because the conditions of Americas assistance are unaccept able This is sharp propaganda for it takes the truth and gives it twist favorable to Russia.
 What the conditions of U. S. aid Secretary Mar shall set them forth in his significant speech at Harvard university June }:
 " Any government that is willing to assist in the task of recovery will find full cooperation am sure the part of the United States government Any gov ernment which maneuverS to block the recovery of other countries cannot expect help from Further more, governments, political parties or groups which seek to perpetuate human misery in order to profit therefrom politically and otherwise will encounter the opposition of the United States
 Are those conditions onerous? Not for nations of good will
 Great Britain and France have taken up the Marshall proposal with enthusiasm They have undertaken con- sutations with Russia which Secretary Marshall made clear was welcome as participant Rejection of the plan by Russia should be regarded as cue for the de- mocracies to proceed by themselves with cooperative

ton that the federal government
 m spend the peoples money wiser and better than they can. The greatest inflationary source in the nation is the government itself. As the late President RooSe- welt said in 1882, "taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who la bors because they are a tax on production" Oppressive taxation is a brake on production. And in- creased production is the only way to get prices down to req sonable level.
 President Truman is just as right on universal training as he is wrong on tax reduction. "The Justification for universal train ing" he says, ''is it's military ne- cessity. Peace-lovine nations can make only slow progress toward the attainment of stable worl1 unless their moral leadership is supported by strength. Weakness on our part would stir fear among small or weakened nations that we were giving up our world leadership"
 As the President points out, the purpose of universal military training in the United States is training not for war, but for pre- vention of war But when and if war comes, we would be better prepared than ever in the past to meet it. Preparedness is one se- curity method this country never has tried. It can be achieved in only one of two ways. Either we must have big standing army or universal military training. The latter method, as the President contends, clearly is "the most economical and the most effective method of maintaining the mili- tary strength we need"
 The purpose of Henry Wallace's third-party threats is obvious. He is trying to sandbag President Truman and the Democratic party into giving him the vice presiden- tial nomination next year. Wal lace undoubtedly realizes he has not chance in the world of beat ing Truman for the Presidential nomination. He couldn't get any where as third party candidate, but by splitting the Democratic party he could insure Truman's defeat. So the Wallace strategy is to try to force acceptance of him as Truman's running mate.

Plymouth thus becomes the Sec
ond leading car maker to announce
price sIashes this year, the Ford
Motor Co. having previously re-
duced the listings on its Ford line

The Plymouth reductions were
announced without comment and
came as negotiations were pending
with the CIO United Automobile
Workers Union over wage increase

The Plymouth slash, like that an

prices mount steadily since price
control was removed.
Prewar Price Compared.
Current prices are up in some in
stances as much as so per cent over
those that prevailed before the war,
The Plymouth reduction led to
the suggestion In some industry cir

cleared for keener than ever battle

Churchill Denounces
Cut in British Draft
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, April 5. winston
Churchill threatened tonight to
withdraw conservative support of
the draft bill if the Labor govern
ment reduces the proposed period of
military training from 18 months to
II months.
Mr.. Churchill said the government
had agreed to the reduction rather
than "have trouble with the tail of
their party"
Cabinet members. in an apparent
concession to rebel elements within
the parliamentary Labor Party who
oppose the draft bill, announced
Thursday they would offer an
amendment cutting the training
period to one year.
Mr.. Churchill said in a statement
that this announcement exposes
for all to see the weakness and in
competence of the socialist govern
ment in all matters affecting the
life of the nation, great or small,
at home or abroad"
I'VE must now reconsider our posi-
tior and course of action in the light
of the national interest," he con-
tinued
This is another example of the
policy of scuttle before anything
that looks difficult or fierce, which
has characterized the socialist gov
ernment administration and which
in less than two years has reduced
us from victory day to our present
confusion and disrepute."
