was impressed by everything he saw, but most

meal.

everything" he reported to his own family
later 'Never got chance to sit down and
eat bite himself.

that, too. They may be rich, but they sure

ARE YOU A LOYAL AMERICANA

1t is an old saying that Politics makes
strange bedfellows' but far stranger than
the ''bedfellow' alliance is the anomaly of
a mans or womans registering and then
failing to vote.
If qualified voters who stay away
from the polls on Election Day numbered
only few, their action would elicit only
passing comment, but the totals run to
hundreds in small communities and to
thousands ia large cities. In Monroe eoun-
ty the number of non-voters is always far
larger than it should be. Let us consider
the May 4, 1948. Primary in Monroe
county. Registered voters totaled sofa,
but 2,436 Of them remained away from the
polls on Election Day.
What reasons could they have given
for failing to vote Only two reasons would
have been valid-illness or an emergency
that took up all of their time on Election
Day. How many of the 2,436 were subject
ed to those conditions? Let US be liberal in
our estimates and say 100 That leaves b.
1856 who remained away from the polls
because of lack of interest in the out
come of the election, or because they lack
ed the effort it required to vote
But they had sufficient urge to regis
ter, and yet when the time came to per-
form what really counts in an election
voting, the urge had died out, and each
probably said or thought Whats the
use, my vote is only one?"
But voting is made up Of zones. 1t
is the "ones' that pile up a big vote and
a lack of zones" that increases the percen-
tage of non-voters. Some people make it
a practice of registering and then not vot-
ing. and yet these very people would yell
the loudest were they denied the privilege
of voting.
Let us assume that we transported
these non-voters to Russia where the Krem-
lin would make up the ticket for them.
How would they feel? They would fume
about robbing them of their privilege to
choose their own candidates. But how in
consistant they would be when they tram
pie ON that privilege in free country
where they can vote as they please!
Every loyal American votes He real
ICES that the expression of his choice at
the polls is the cornerstone of our democ-
racy. Are you going to be loyal American
in the election next Tuesday? We will
know the answer Tuesday night when we
learn how many of our 1886 registered
voters appreciated the privilege of casting
their ballots. Ifayou are not among the
loyal Americans We leave It to you to try
to find good reason for staying away
from the polls.

SPURIOUS "RIGHTs"

Writing in Newsweek, Henry Haz-
lit says, "Our one-sided laws are-the re-
suits of "a confusing ideologyE which be-
lieves that unions can done wrong and
that they can be granted sweeping legal
immunities without danger of abuse, in
Guiding immunity from the anti-mOnopoly
laws. The unions are granted a sweeping
right to strike which is interpreted to i'm
clude not merely the acknowledged right
of the individual to quit his job but the
spurious right forcibly to prevent anybody
else from taking the job that he has desert
ed Under cover of protecting these spur
ious rights of the unioneers everybody
else's rights are abridged"
Mr.. Hazlitt's remarks were occasion
ed by the last coal strike, as this was an
especially callous and glazing example of
the abuse of labor's powers. They apply,
however, to the labor situation in general
There can be no question hut that some
of the big unions have absolute naonopo-
lies-yet they are completely immune from
the antitrust laws that apply to everyone
else And, as Mr.. Hazlitt said, union tao
tics make it impossible for 2 nonznember
to work if he wants to stay healthy

actions that would lead to Jail # business

That's Chinese. and hope I've
spelled il correctly, for il accents
what I'd like to say about SAM
LESSER'S new MARDI GRAS
show which opened last night.
AMY FONG brings breath of
the mystic Orient to town with
her charm and subtle allure. The
beautiful China Doll conjures up
dreams of jade and incense; of
joss sticks; prayer papers, temple
bells and flower covered pagodas
dreaming in the glow of an East
ern moon. She lends new mean
ing to such songs as SLOW Boat

feet right to blame it on almond
eyed Amy Fong.
Her frs. appearance, with an
| imposing brocaded head-dress
and gold trimmed black man
DARN coat, is impressive in its
majesty. She returns, later in the
show, in equally imposing, but
much less formal accoutfefnents.
AS Amy grows less formal, and
dispenses with the more curnber-
some portions of her elegant cos
tune, the true charm of the
China Doll is fully revealed.

FREE ENTERPRISE IN ACTION

In recent review of last years cor
porate earnings issued by the National
City Bank of New York, this factual OBJ
servation is made: Total volume of retail
and wholesale trade was only slightly be-
low the record level of 1948, but profit
margins of most chain. department, and
specially stores, as well as wholesalers
were squeezed by high operating costs. !"
That simply means that the stores
haven't found it possible to make revenues
keep pace with expenses. And the obvious
question q, why cant a merchant simply
: raise his selling prices to take care of any
: change in his costs?
The point is that that is easier said
than done. And one of the main reasons
why that should be true is the competitive
situation, Retailing is about as perfect an
example of the workings of free eco
nomy hs can be imagined The stores-big
ones and little ones-chain-owned and
individualfytowne ARE in constant COM
Z. petition for business. The consumer, in the
mass, decides whether any store shall sue
ceed er wind up under the sheriff's ham
mer. He can take his trade wherever he
pleaseS. So the inevitable result is that
every merchant tries to sell little cheap
Ger, to paake his advertising and displays
@lttle more compelling, or to do something
ELSE that will win him consumer favor and
seapatronages
-.
81 Under these conditions, several things
rhappen Profits are bound to be extremely
modest-competition sees to that. Service
is bouid to be good--eompetition sees to
that top. And Misrepresentation and shady
practices are at an absolute minimum
once more, competition does the trick.
The retailers you patronize are living
examples of free enterprise in action.

Policing Action" Mentioned.
"A final type of warfare involv-

action against a small nation
whose recalcitrant conduct men
aced the peace and security Of
other nations.
"As long as there is a serious
conflict of interest and theology

components of the United Nations.
there is always the possible danger
that even a minor action of this
type might be the spark which
would ignite a world conflagra-

were:
/. Direct attack on the United
States by a powerful enemy.
