LONDON-The reelection of

Finland's oldest active states

of a man who helped build the
little republic after the first
world war as its first prime
minister.
Though almost so, he still is
the dominating personality in
Finnish politics. "The old man
in the (presidentiaD palace
talks the Russian language and
understands Russian ways. He
sees the need for good rela-
tons with a big neighbor, but
without sacrificing treasured lib
critics.
THROUGH THE critical years
of Finiand's independence he
was the man the Firms most
frequently chose to deal with
the Russians. He began his po-
litical career as a radical but
shifted servatism and now is
regarded above party politics
without party utilization.
He commands Russian respect.
While he knows what the Rus
slams want, he knows, too, what
his people want-the right to
live i'm freedom, free to deal with
west or east.
That may be reason for Conn
munist desires to see him out of
the wav. Their eventual aim is
to tie Finland tightly into the
Russian bloc of satellites. And if
ever there was a moral bulwark
against Russian pressure, it is

How To Pay January Bills

I used to be in this pitiful pligh,

cial woes. This was in the days
when used to handle the money
in the family.

telling me to spend carefully was
like giving Hitler an army anc
telling him not to waste it.
Soon the bill collectors beat or
my door so often they asked me
to put a pad on it to save theil

worst month. Once I hit on so

Getting Budget Cut IS
Eusier Solid Than Done

Congress is rocking with calls Tor
cutting President Truman's $42,439,OOO
spending budget. But the cold record
shows that this is easier said than done.
Government spending has wound up
greater than Mr.. Truman predicted IN
three of his four budgets for previous years
although there has been some clamor for
cuts every time.
The increase for the four years totals
$780, 100000. 81 #..
Responsibility for after-budget in
creases in spending is disputable because:
1. Congress has sometimes voted to
spend more on certain things than MIR.
Truman recommended. -..
2. Mr.. Truman has sometimes come
through with new or expanded spending
proposals after his initial budget message.
8. Grcumstancesxlnfore by either
the president or NDngress sometimes
knock initial spending estimates hayWire.
Examples of this last kind include cold
war developments, which have sent costs
soaring, and the 1949 business decline,
knocking down tax revenue estimates.
Mr.. Truman's new budget for the IL
months starting next July l is the most
costly peacetime program ever laid down
by president at the opening OF congress-.
It foreshadows a $5,133,0OO,O0O deficit
unless taxes are raised.
Yet it anticipates an $858,OOO,OOO or
two per cent cut under the current spend
ing rate of $43, 297, OOO COO. The current rate
itself is the outgrowth of a Sal 1858, 100000
program Mr.. Truman submitted year ago.
The presidents claim of a cut under
current year rates depends heavily on two
estimates that he admitted to be-neces-
sarily-based on guesses:
1. That veterans costs will decline by
1925, 100000 largely because fewer vete-
rams will apply for schooling and other re-
adjustment benefits.
2. That OUTLAWS for farm price supports
will drop $581 100000.
TIE president said in his message that
congress has as much responsibility for
government spending as he has, for "all
expenditures flow from obligational
authority enacted by the congress-"
enacted by the congress"
He reminded congress, too, that $12,-
1OO,OOO,OOO or 20 per cent, of his spending
total was authorized at earlier sessions OF
congress, putting it beyond the reach of
economy drives"
In short, economy in government is
something we all talk about-but it is
still very much in the talking stage It
will continue just so much talk until the
American taxpayer demands something
better.

Euthonosio BY Geo. Sokolsky

IT MAY BE possible for DR..
Hermann Sander to argue, or
even to establish in a court of
law, that when he gave Mrs. ABB
bic Borroto a hypodermic injec-
ton of air, he knew that she
would soon die; that he saved her
a few hours of agony; that his
purposes were compassionate.
Certainly the man is essentially
honest and scrupulous, for he
noted that he had given his pa.
tient dose of 40 &C. of air." a
fatal dose when injected into an
artery.
Thus, DR.. Sander made euthan-
asia, or mercy killing" a mat
ter for judicial procedure. Should
he be convicted, there is a pos
sibility that the case will go up
to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States for final determination.
But what will it be that the
courts may ultimately have to
decide. It can only be whether
any man is entitled to private
| Judgment in ending the life of
another, even for compassionate
reasons.
CERTAINLY. THIS was a diff
cult decision to make for man
of the high character, as all his
neighbors attest, of DR.. Sander.
| He Wearied of Mrs. BOrrOtO'S Suf-
fering and he eased her out.
Whether that is a more general
practise than we know, no one
can say. We are in the hands of
our physicians whose object is to
heal and cure, not to act as the
Angel of Death.
Who is to say that cure will
never be found for cancer. Ac-
tually many sufferers of cancer
are now cured. When my father
was my present age, diabetes was
dreaded illness. Today, one
who has this disability can with
care and obedience to simple
rules, live a useful life to ripe
old age. There was a time when
nothing could be done about a
great many illnesses; today,
medical, chemical and biological
knowledge is SO expanded and
surgical and laboratory tech
niques so advanced, that many
live who even half century
ago would have been given up
for lost.
WHO THEN CAN. as a matter
of private judgment, say that
another's life must be brought to
an end? This involves a funda.
mental moral question in our
society which has become, in
many respects, anarchic.
For instance, Edda Ciano an
nounces, apparently with pride,
that she was born before her
father, Benito Mussolini, married
her mother. Ally Khan, in a mo-
ment of garrulous mendacity,
; announces earlier than anyone
could scientifically know that his
wife would give birth to pre-

err and misbehave;, it is unfor-
tunate that we cannot and do not
live up to our principles and
ideals. But when we discard our
principles and ideals, we have
nothing to live up to. When that
happens, a society withers, de-
Gays and dies.
THE RIGHT or free choice is
not contested when a society de-
tends itself against the evils
which may result from such ex-
ercise of private judgment as can
destroy society itself.
While anyone may own, in our
free society, an automobile and
drive it, he is nevertheless SUBJ
ject to taking a test for a Ii
cense, and he is required to pay
attention to red and green lights
and to other traffic regulations.
While the road is open, it is not
open to destruction. Although
ours is free society, it is not
an anarchy, where each one does
as he chooses, no matter what he
does to others.
So, euthanaSia involves the
fundamental question as to who
has the right to kill a person be.
cause that person is "incurably"
ill? A judgment that involves
such finality cannot be the pro.
vince of one man, whatever his
vocation.
Admitting that DR.. Sander
meant well, the peril is that his
act may become a legal prece-
dent for wholesale murder, even
by those who do not mean well.

Only The Beginning

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21-House Re-
publicanS' decision to organize watch

report of their statisticians that President
Truman's domestic program, if enacted,
will cost at least $50 billion in addition to
the regular budget now before Congress.
In fact, they figure that it will hit
nearer $50 billion when projects for which
only initial sums have been requested now
reach the stage of construction or develop
ment. There are about dozen OF these
schemes for which Mr.. Truman has asked
only nominal amount as a starter.
