For Thursday, October 7

A MOST welcome change, practi-
cally a complete about-face from
recent narrowing and sinister events
may be suddenly precipitated. A
very desirable and welcome situa-
ton as likely to affect the romantic
and emotional life, with glamor-
Gus and revolutionary thrill. While
intimate affiliations are mainly dra-
matized, yet all matters in which
ingenuity, skill and creative abii-
ties of outstanding scope and in
spiration, are more than likely to
glow in the limelight. The hearty
endorsement and cooperation from
those in influential places is seen.

energy issue, their general policy in
Paris.
Considering their goal, it is a safe
plan. Because, without risk, they can
precipitate crisis after crisis that
bring us to the very brink Of war.
Fully aware that neither ourselves
nor the British will initiate war
that, in fact, we will go to the eX-
treme limit to avoid wal--the Soviet
leaders can safely pursue their provo
cative policies to the point whore one
more inch would make war inevitable
without going that inch. The longer
they can delay European recovery,
postpone international cooperation
and weaken the American economy
by compelling US to pour out billions
for defense as well as for aid to pros
trate nations, the greater the chance
Of the chaos for which they aim.
The great question is how long we
can permit this obvious game to be
played? The Russians will not declare
shooting war and we cannot fight
unless they start it. But, something
has to be done. The United Nations
cannot function but it is not a dying
body. There is no serious suggestion
Of killing it to start all over again.
But there is an earnest debate on
means Of by-passing the veto and
forming associations under Article 81
to break the Soviet blockade on action
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-10-14

The plain truth is that we have
been played for suckers from the
start. And it has been an easy game
for the Soviets TO play Because. in
our dealings with them we have been
frank, open and sincere. Never have
they been any Of these things with us.
This is not case Of SIMULTANEOUSLY
aselibing all the virtues to oneself
and obstinately conceding none to the
other side. The evidence overwhelm-
ngly sustains the statement. Neither
our people nor our representatives
started out feeling that way. We
started out believing there was good
faith and good will on the part of the
Russians as well as on our part; that
it was only question of being
patient, reasonable and understanding
in order to get together for the health
Of the world. There are extremely few
naive enough to believe that now On
the contrary, the conviction has been
forced that the Russian detectives are
wholly different from ours Agree
ments and cooperation lead toward
the goals for which we strive but they
lead directly away from the Russian
goals. 1t took longer for us to realize
this than it should though had we
grasped the reality earlier it is not

A New Trend in State
Finances Explained

Maryland's fiscal operations dur
ing the past year reveal a strong
trend of spending, that if continued
may we'll jeopardize her favorable
financial position, according to a
statement released by the Maryland
Public Expenditure Council.
The State, in keeping with the rest
of the nation, made substantial debt
reductions during the war years. This
reduction curve has, however. abrupt
ly reversed itself in the past two
years. The gross debt of the various
states dropped 30 per cent in the per-
iod of 1910 through 1916, but in 1917
the debt of all states increased "a per
cent wiping out the greater part of
the gain made during the preceding
siX-year span.
Maryland managed to reduce her
gross debt "a per cent during the war
years, but the trend has been strong
ly in the opposite direction since 1916.
Behind this dangerous upswing in
public spending are three factors:
public works, initiation and veterans
bonus plans, according to the Coun-
ellis report Maryland's finances are
definitely affected by the first Of
these two factors; the third is threat
ening.
In the national picture, Maryland
has ranked among the conservative
spenders. However, our current public
works program theatens to remove
us from that class For the most part.
public works in Maryland We're
virtually at standstill during the
war years. Now there are strong indi-
cations that the Immediate future
will see such activities reach a record
high in the State.
There is no single agency within
Maryland that has Cor will release)
total expenditures and authorizations
for expenditures connected with pub
lie construction or capital improve
ments.
But here are the best obtainable
figures:
The 1947 Legislature approved the
expenditure of S11 $4,000 by the
Board of Public Works. Authorized
appropriations to the State Roads
Commission for the biennium 1948-49
is $44,371,553. In addition 500 mil
lion is authorized for any highway
construction needed plus whatever is
needed for the construction of toll
bridges. This does not include the
$37 100000 contemplated for the bay
bridge, nor the appropriation of ST.
585,O0O for public works authorized
by the 1948 special session. Thus the
State now has authority to spend
nearly $200,000,000 in public works.
The proposed spending Of the sub
divisions must be considered to fully
appreciate the full weight of public
work in the State. The 1947 General
Assembly authorized Baltimore City
and 81 counties to issue bonds for a
total of SCI 1875, 900 for the construc-
ton and improvement of school build
ings. Authorized appropriations for
the Baltimore City Department of
Public Works, not including bond is
sues, was S16,519,S29.
1t is estimated that throughout the
State there is earmarked in one way
or another more than 273 millions of
dollars for public construction.
The third factor in mounting eX-
penditures for many states is that of
veterans bonus legislation. The pos
sibility for similar grants in Mary
land has been sounded by the bonus
resolution of the American Legion at
their September meeting at Ocean
City.

PLAYED For Suckers
by FRANK r. KENT,

Looking over the years since the
United Nations was born in San
Francisco, it seems impossible to es-
cape the conclusion that the Russian
leaders have made complete monkeys
of us. This is not said in criticism
Of our State Department or of our
president but merely to present plain
ly the big basic fact behind all the
comforting, negotiating. friction and
crises since l945.
since 1915.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-10-14

Even now, though the illusions of
being able to get the Soviets to CO.
operate and agree have been lost, we
continue to negotiate, confer and hope
despite the fact that three wears of
negotiations and dozen or more
conferences have shown the futility of
doing so. 1t is no use trying to negoti-
ate with a nation whose fixed policy
is not to agree. The present critical
state Of affairs at the United Nations
meeting in Paris but confirms the be-
lief most of our informed representa-
tives have had for long time. In the
face of our experience, it seems
stupid to continue hopefully to confer

may bring us to the point of economic
eXhaustion-for which the Soviets
aim. Regardless of what the United
Nations now does, the conviction is
strong that Russia will not withdraw.
Clearly, withdrawal would not pro-
mote her purposes nearly as we'll as

and put an end to an intolerable situ-
alton. 1t is inconceivable that some
way will not be found. The facts are
established; the problem is clear. Ac-
ton cannot safely be long postponed.
A few more years Of frustrated con-
ferences and nulIified negotiations
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-10-14

That Russia wants war is an idea
no longer entertained by those in best
position to know the facts. Chaos,
not a resort to arms, 5 held the Soviet
goal. For chaos is the surest way to
destroy throughout the world the sys-
TEN of free enterprise which they
label capitalism and aim to supplant
with Communism. No other theory
fits into their long record Of United
Nations vetoes and conference re-
fusals to cooperate except hiatt the
Soviet leaders can achieve chaos with
out resort to war This is the only
theory that makes logical their OPP
position to the Marshall plan, their
extreme recalcitrancy in Berlin, their
fusals to cooperate except that the

silly to permit this one nation to
block the road to peace and recon-
struction. But it especially makes us
look silly because, while Soviet
strategy continues to nullify negoti-
ations, the Soviet effort to sabotage
the American system is constantly
pressed. Their multiplying spies per-
meate our Government. Their agents
take over our labor unions in order
to promote economic paralysis. Their
plans for altering our way of life con-
tnue to be pushed. A more notifying
position for the United States can
hardly be imagined.

 The Mirror was informed of these plans in a wire received yesterday from the company which recently purchased the the Frank McConaghy cannery here.
 The original plans of the com pany called for construction here m time for this season's business and property was purchased for same, the message added.
 However, shortages of mat erials especially lumber and pipe, and difficulties of transpor. tation of materials to the loca. tion, due to schedules, do not warrant an attempt to construct for operations this season." the company stated.
 W. J. Erskine, president of the W. J. Erskine O., revealed last night that the company has sold all it's interests in the Hal. ferty-McC Conaghy cannery bu,ld- ing as we'll as enough land ad- jacent to it for the construction of a cold storage plant, to the Whiz Go.
 In what MT. Erskine termed probably the largest real estate deal consummated here in recent years, the Whiz company pur- chased land on the waterfront extending about l80 feet from the south end of the cannery, i and back from the water to 8 1 line continuing from the west wall of the post office.
 The deal has been closed, MT. | Ersklne sad and a deposit on the payment has been made. No price for the property change was announced.
 P. J. Watkinson, viee.presi- dent of the company, has been in Seattle to close the deal.
