The Folly Of Federal Control

an analysis of the issue now before
Congress to finance (grubstake)
and furnish Federal Aid Control Of
Education. He spoke over the ra-
dlo and Congressman Ralph w
GWinn of New York State inserted
this address in the Congressional
Record of January Is.
representative GWinn said:-
Many of those who recognize the
unanswerable logic of this exper-
fenced educator, DR.. George Ben

will wish to send copies of DR..
BensOn's broadcast with their per-
sonal comments to their Represen-
tatiVes in Washington and to dis
tribute copies in local service

DR.. BensOn's address deserves
more space than this Washington
correspondent is able to devote to
It. But here are some specimens
OF the way he hit the bulFs-eve in
pointing out, "the real issue before
us today, is not merely $500, 900 900
in aid to our public schools: tbet
real issue is whether or not we
shall take this most crucial step /
toward the specialization of Amer

He proves very clearly tbatl

WASHINGTON A great many
changes may be looked for in the
policies of our Government. Major
changes are proposed in our Ma
tional affairs by. President Tru-
man. The S1st Congress will sup
port him to the limit.
Everybody will agree with the
President that many of our short
comings stand out in bold relief;
we are suffering from excessively
nigh prices; our production is still
not large enough to satisfy our de-
mands. He wants to raise mini
mum wages and to boost small bus
mess to the same Importance as
growing monopoly" He reas-
serts the sad fact that our natural
resources are being wasted. He hit
the bulPs-eye when he asked for
the relief of 100000 families who
are living in slums and fretraps
and 100000 families who share
their homes with others.
The message of the President
contains a good deal Of horse sense.
The President is doing his level
best to straighten out a mess of
problems. The. American peOple
are going along with the new Ad-
ministratiOn in every possible way

That Old Boy is spending billions
trying to rebuild peace throughout
the world. We are being frustrated
BY Communism. So, there is moth
ing to guarantee that the country
will get back to normal for a long
time.
One thing certain is that taxes
will be high in the coming fiscal
year. That doesn't imply the an
prOVal Of the Presidents plan for
a "a billion tax increase. The in
dications are that there will be no
excess-prOfits tax on corporations.
But, suppose business is good? In l
that event the tax rate need not be
raised. On the other hand. sun +

OF economic freedom that most ma

Of mass markets.
Hope of profits, plus the neces-

early U. S. car makers to abandon

risk their money in machinery to
