LESSONS OF PATERNALISM

"When of the peoples susenance is exacted

Who said that? No, it wasn't Senator Taft nor it

Committee. Stain himself de-
clared that if Communist parties
wish to become mass parties,
capable of setting revolutions
afOot, they must create intimate
ties between themselves and the
trade unions" Today, with credit
to the 1947 Acknowledgements

communists has been reduced, but
there still remain many Connie

THIS success of communism in
Il our government accounts for the
"soft" attitude towards Russia
which our leaders displayed at
Yalta. 1t accounts for the betrayal
of Poland and the extension of
Russian power to Berlin, Prague,
and Vienna. 1t accounts for the
danger of a third world war. But
l doubt if such a war will come.
I believe the Russians are realists
and know that they would lose that
war in the end. I do not think they
attribute to themselves the mill
tary strength which we are likely
to assign to them.
The Russians have made the ut
most of their power within the
zones of influence given them at
Yalta. They have spread the COM
munist doctrine in every country in
the world, but l believe they are
relying mostly on extending their
power through propaganda and in
trigue as in the past.
In short, / believe that we face
today struggle of ideas ard not
of arms. If we can win that
struggle, we need not have an
other war. The ECA has helped
improve economic conditions in
Europe so that communism can
make less progress. We can only
win the war against Russia by
defeating the communist philosO-
ply in the minds of the people.
But, first of all, we must our
selves believe fervently in freedom.
We can't defeat communism if q
lot of our own people compromise
with its basic ideas and believe in
a government directing the econo-
mic and social life of its people.
What we need is to arouse the
same religious fervor for the
American Doctrine of liberty and
free government as the commu-
nists have for communism. Such a
crusade by America can re-estab-
lish liberty throughout the world.

The use of mayonnaise as shor-
tening in cakes is not new, l am
informed by Jeanne James, The
Citizen women'S editor. A num-
Der of recipes were circulated by
the mayonnaise companies about
two years ago. The gas company's
Betty Newton has tested several
of them. She recommends one
that practically comedies with the
500 recipe.
Here's the recipe as Miss Han
nahs gave it to me: Two cups of
Swansdown flour, one cup of
sugar, two teaspoonsful of soda,
four tablespoonsful of Hershey's
cocoa, and a pinch of salt. Sift
these ingredients together three
times. Miss Hannahs said this
thorough sitting is important
To this mixture add one cup OF
mayonnaise Cor Miracle Whip
one cup of cold water, and one
tablespoonful of vanilla. The cake
should be baked in two layers
for IS to 80 minutes in a 375-de-
gree oven. Choose your favorite
icing; an orange icing is perfect
for it.

mic doctrine shall be the one and
the only religion of all its adher-
ents. Therefore, every other rell-
gion must be extirpated. Of course,
communism can only be crassly
materialistic religion from which is
eliminated every spiritual factor
1t is, in fact, denial of God.
1t is also apparent today that
communism is a tool of the Rus
sian government and that every
communist in the United States
takes orders from Moscow; those
who refuse are thrown out of the
party.
COMMUNISTS basic theory
~ that the welfare of the masses
can be better improved by totali-
tartan government than by free
dom is completely denied by the
results. The United States has
achieved the highest production
and the highest standard of living
of any country in the world. This
has been established entirely by eco
nomic liberty. The average produc-
tion per man is far ahead of that
of state-directed countries. There
never has been a time when the
actual results in the welfare of the
people so contradict the claims Of
the communists.
Communism made great headway
in the United States, especially
among the so-called intellectuals
on the theory that it was a great
international reform initiated but
not dominated by Russia. Com.
munists succeeded in infiltrating
into our government itself.
Communists made substantial

osity.
Here's the story as first heard
it: A Calais woman was on a trip
to New York City, and while
there ate in the dining room of
large hotel. She had cake for
dessert. She liked it. 1t was a
dark cake of unsual texture. She
asked the waiter if she could
have the recipe.
He said he would see. He went
to the kitchen and returned to
say she should leave her name
with the chef. She did.
Later, when she was back home
in Calais, the recipe arrived by
mail. Also in the envelope was a
bill for $4,000.
This bill disturbed the Calais
woman. She worried about it,
then asked her lawyer. The law
yer advised, so the story went,
that she had better pay the 500
After all, she had requested the
recipe. So she sent the New York
chef $l00.
Immediately, she started hand
ing out copies of the recipe to as
many people as she could.

Appropriations Committee will &c

The Senate resolution was spon-

There is little likelihood, however
that it will be called up in the

Mr.. Cannon made a trial run
of the system he will use next
year in handling a supplemental
appropriation bill recently.
Ordinarily. a subcommittee is
placed in charge of a basic ap-
preparation bill for department
or group of agencies. Then. when
supplemental or deficiency items
are sent to Congress by the Presi-
dent, they are turned over in a

arate bill.
Then the full Appropriations
Committee will paste the pieces
together again and report the
bulky document to the House
floor.
Thus. he said, the House mem
bers will be able to decide in one
action how much the Government

But it is certain the members will
be occupied continuously with the
omnibus appropriation bill for a
number of weeks, if the new plan
comes into operation as promised.
Budget Idea Fails.
Some have expressed the fear
they will not be able to obtain
sufficient consideration on the
floor for particular items in which
they may be interested.
A different means of bringing
national income and outlay into
focus, provided in the Legislative
Reorganization Act. has proved a
failure. A. Legislative budget" was
supposed. to be worked out early

limits Of estimated revenue and
expenditures. Congress has cir
cumvented this requirement by
working out a legislative budget
after the appropriations bills have
been passed-instead of before

Major U. 5. Agencies
Are Due 10 Run Out
Of Money Tonight
Ey the Asseeiotsd Press

Once again. some important
Government agencies are due to
run out of money tonight while
Congress makes up its mind how
much to give them.
Although an emergency measure
financing the Defense and In
terror Departments expires off,
cially at midnight, the two agen-
cies are not expected to run into
any real difficulty for a while.
It's just as well, because no con-
gressional action can be taken
until Monday. when the House
returns from a weekend adjourn
ment.
Never before have Federal
agencies been forced to operate
for as long as three months of
fiscal year while awaiting ap-
proval of their budgets.
Three times since the present
fiscal year started on July Con-
gress has passed emergency
measures financing on a hand-to-
mouth basis agencies whose an
nual money bills had not been
approved finally. Unless compro-
misses are worked out early next
week, a fourth emergency measure
will be passed.
Five money bills still are hung
up because the Senate and the
House can't agree on them. They
account for almost $4,000. .000. 900
or more than one-third of the
total Federal budget for the pres
ent fiscal year.
The five bills, and the Presi-
dents budget requests on them,
are:
Military establishment, $13,000.-
100000; Army Engineers, $751;
100000: Interior, $617, 200, 900;
third deficiency, $162 100000 and
supplemental. $75,00O.000. The
latter two carry extra funds for
miscellaneous agencies whose reg
ular appropriations already have
been provided.
Congressional experts say the
armed services and the Interior
Department can get along for sew
eral days without official appro-
priations because of month-end
lags in bookkeeping. But they
soon will have payrolls to meet
and they can't pay them without
congressional action.
House and Senate conferees
hope to work out compromises
early next week, but, just in case,
they have another stopgap appro-
priation bill ready.
