No Government can tell you what
you can or cannot do in making up
your mind about those things af-
fecting your daily life, your church
or political preference, your social
or business relationships or what
have you. If you should decide to
change your mind, that's all right,
too. You even have the choice of
giving up your right of voluntary
decision. Unfortunately, once that
privilege is gone, you can never
get it back.
Certain groups in this country
are now clamoring that you should
voluntarily accept grandiose plans
on a National scale to include med
ical care, housing, education, etc.
They point to the success of such
voluntary cooperatives as the nat
ion-wide Blue Cross hospitaliza-
plan
The planners" conveniently
forget to tell you, however, that
their plans call for the elimination
of one important phase of our con-
ception of cooperation -voIun
tary action. Once their plans are
put into effect, your voluntary CO.
operation must necessarily become
compulsory cooperation.
In support of their nationalizeC
medicine proposal, the planners
4 loudly acclaim the program of nat
4 ionalized medical care in England
After all, they say, if a Britol
doesn't like the doctor the Govern
ment tells hin to go to, he ma,
choose another private physician
If he does however, he pays twice
Through his taxes he pays the Gov
i ernment for the doctor selected fo
him as weH as the fee to the docto
which he selected himself. In 9th
er words, ne is actually fined 70
I, exercising his freedom" of choice
Although some freedom of choic
does remain to him, it is rapid
becoming more and more illusory
Do you have a favorite doctor ?
Do you want to pay twice for tn
privilege Of going to him?

The Gold standard

Information based upon report
from Government sources shows
that the cost of running our Fed
eral Government for one year is
higher than roof-tops-and all the
good in the VOID isn't enough to
meet the costs of u. S. Government
operations for a year.
Dependable reporters have been
sharpening pencils and they are
telling us that the Federal Govern
ment plans to spend more than
S45. .000. 900. 900 in the coming fis-
cal year. That takes more gold
than has been mined in 456 years
There is a problem to work on

public. that they will commemorate
the tenth anniversary of President
Trujillo's humanitarian act.
Self-govering Sosua, comprising
375 happy, Industrious refugees,
has earned over the past decade
the reputation of producing the
best dairy products in the West
Indies, the finest essential oils
from fragrant grasses that previ-
ously grew wild, and exqusitely
designed items from native tor
toise, gold and mahogany.
The fitting tribute to Trujillc
will be simple-a prayer of thanks

only synagogue in predominatly

religious prejudices are unknown.

a Poor Deal

President Truman's so-called
Fair Deal' in health has stirred
UP a bitter controversy in congress
The health question, right now, is
political dynamite.
There are 10000 doctors in our
country. The President has said
that the present system of caring
for the public should include every
ore in the Social Security program
and their dependents. That would
mean raising the present coverage
from 85.000,000 under our present
system to about 120,000,000 if the
Truman plan becomes a law.
And where is the money coming
from? The system would be fin
anced by an additional payroll tax
of IL per cent on employers and
In addition the Government would
put up u Of l per cent of payrolls
the first year and ] per cent sub
sequently.
If yeu asked most writer's and
correspondents in Washington
what they think about the probab-
ility Of Federal sponsorship and
control of the Nations medical sy-
stem. the answer would be: cts
all hooey"
The Daughters of the American
Revolution in their recent annual
meeting in Washington denounced
1t as Legislation designed to create
State medical care, which could re.
suit in a soialistic state
The Daughters called attention
!. to the fact that Mr.. Truman sug
gested regular contributions to al
insurance fund that would replac,
irregular, often overwhelming fam
lily outlays for medical care.

Poor Gid New York

A first page story in the New

about city relle and the jobless.
The report goes on to say that
there was an addition of 6,441 cas-
es in the city's public assistance
rolls in the month Of March and
that was the largest single month
ly increase in eleven years. How
come?
The city authorities in New York
explained that the slump is entire

bring about conditions that has

Total February output was about
$4,000 cars and 100000 trucks and
