Fanatics have made many predictions
that the world would end on this or that
date, and some of them, when what they
had said turned out to be wrong, extended
the dates when the end of the world would
occur.
Now comes 70-year-old Long Island
engineer who asserts that 1t won't be long
before the world will tip over because of
the contiual growths of ice caps in the
Arctic and Antartic.
He points out that the ice in the An
tartic Is 5000 feet above sea level and is
steadily increasing its height. .Supposing it
h. of what consequence will it be regarding
the equilibrium of the world?
The ice caps at both polls are small
compared TO some of the ice caps during
the Glacial Period or Ice Age. At times ice
covered all Of Europe and Russia and al
most all Of Asia and spread over the great
er part Of what now is the United States.
lee. eapping mountain chains, such as the
Rockies. descended into the valleys, cut
-upB the existing ones deeper and forming
new valleys. The face of the earth in those
many areas. but the world continued to
rotate on its axis, slowing down fifth of
.~'seeond each century, as it is today, and
ss~rsyolvc at its regular rate around the
AAn.-rhe earth went through four Glacial
Pori0ds.
The engineer maintains that some day
"Qc.N likely to wake up and find either
ihe North or South Pole In his back yard.
Many millions, he asserts. will be drowned,
nnd other millions frozen to death. The
drownings viii result from the ice caps
melting under tropic sunrays.
That fifth of second lost by the
world each century In its rotation Il what
eventually will bring II to an end many
millions Of years hence, assuming that II is
not destroyed by the impact of some other
heavenly body Days are continuing to get
longer. because of the continual slowing
up in the rotation, until they will be
year long, with one-half Of the world
freezing and the other half burning up.
However, Key Westers have NO need
20 ne perturbed, regarding the tipping
ovcr Of the world, as the engineer claims
win happen, for there Is no danger from
that source. And Key Westers need not
worry about the eventual death of the
world. SO far as any kind of life on it is
concerned. for that time is many millions
of years away.

in order to prevent q deficit.
1t IS probably too early to as
sumo that the President has sub
mitted his full program to Con-
gress. The cost CT national de-
Tense, international commitments,
interest on the public debt and
money spent in behalf of the vet
erans of former wars are the big,
items in connection with Federal
expenditures. In addition. the
President seeks sums for Federal
housing, medical insurance pro-
gram, increased social security.
measures and, no doubt. other
items that will cost the taxpayers
money.
The general impression in
Washington is that the Congress
is faced with the choice of reduc-
ing Federal expenditures. provid-
ing for increased taxation or re-
turning to what has been called
deficit t-fianancing. 1t is pointed
out, in this connection, that the
prospective deficit is due, in part,
to the tax cut made by previous
Congresses, which, Immediately
after the war and thereafter, re-
duced the taxes on corporations
and individuals.
The people of the country
should expect both the -Presi
dent and Congress to operate
within the income and, in addi-
tion, to have something left for
annual reduction of the national
debt. Such a policy seems neces-
sary in order to protect the fl
nancial stability of the country.
If it is applied, the obvious result
is that, despite what the country
needs, it must limit its expendi-
lures to its receipts.
Against this, however, is the
contention that the first concern
of those in responsible positions
should be to avoid anything
which might widen the present
economic recession into a pro-
nounced depression. Past expert
ence indicates that a repetition of
the economic collapse of the
Thirties would be the most ex-
pensive experience that the ma
ton can undergo.
Undoubtedly, one of the fea-
lures of the political life of the
nation today is the insistent de-
mand of the people of the ceun-
try for an expansion of govern
mental services. This is accom-
panied by a facile championship
of such policies by many of those
holding, or expecting to seek,
public office. In view of the vot-
ing powersof the masses, there is
little reason to expect that this
pressure will subside and every
reason to believe that the ma
ton must expect a widening flow
of benefits to the men, women
and children. who make up the
nations population.
Another factor in the situation
is the determined effort of the
so-called business segment of the
population to resist the sugges-
ton of increased taxation. The
propagandists of the -finan-
cial~ bracket, including financiers,
industrialists, capitalists and cor
porations, whether operated for
profit or eleemosynary purposes,
are constantly giving their views
to the public with engaging and
enticing arguments.
The distressing dilema which
faces government arises from the
effort to meet popular demands
without the economic and politi
cal consequences of increased
taxation. This explains the cur
rent consideration of economy"
in connection with appropriations
and the gradually developing
trend against spending huge
sums for national and interna-
tional defense, which includes
