sO.CalIed aPollticaI Economy,


Many very smart gentlemen are
sitting behind their typewriters
prophetically trying to prove that
U. S. economy "can take it." For
instance, here's how one of them
tries to prove it in half column
or more.
The way the columnists figure it
out the United States is engaged
in defense spending program
which is calling for nearly so bill
lion dollars.
President Truman's Council of
Economic Advisors have the Big
Boy in the White House trying to
agree with the Advisors that eve
can take it"
Believe this if you can: The
Federal budget is expected to shoot
up soon to between 20 and 80
billion dollars.
The people who think we "can
take it" have started writing ar
ticles on "Our political economy"
and reporting that American labor
relations are well established; that
the automobile companies have set
"a good pattern for the American
economy"
One writer says "as the labor
market gets tight, Unions can ask
and demand higher wages, whether
productivity is increasing or not.
Major industries in turn, can af-
ford higher wages because they
can raise prices. What we are then
likely to see is the old wage-price
spiral. What slows the in
hation from gallop to a walk is
the friction and time lags between
wage boosts and price boosts"
Again we quote "can we take it?"
We honestly believe that these
predictions are cross between
Observation-Disclosures.

the suburbs are the greatest winners.
This trend against living in large cities has
shown itself in other ways Some banks and in

IMPORTANCE OF DECENTRALIZATION
Perhaps the most important factor against the
big city and in favor of the small city are the
official statements of government that the hest

several decentralized plants. They strongly rec

ANOTHER YEAR ROLLS AROUND

1t seems only yesterday since we wrote
an editorial calling your attention to the
beginning Of our seventy-second year. But
times marches on-and with this issue the
Milford Chronicle starts it's seventy-third
year of service to Milford, Kent and Sussex
Counties and the State of Delaware. The
past year has seen changes here at the
Chronicle Office - changes that will mean
much to the future progress Of this publ
cation we hope. Some of the equipment
which was on order this time last year has
been received and put to work; only yester-
day we were advised that other machinery
which should have been received months
ago will be shipped late this month. War
conditions and the preparedness program of
our Federal government have influenced
much of the delivery schedules.
Last year at this time we were planning
for a heavy increase in advertising and
news schedules for the following year. Our
expectations and calculations wereN justified
for the first half of 1850. The Korean War
trouble has influenced the third quarter
somewhat. Taken as whole business con-
ditions are satisfactory, and present in
quiries lead us to believe that the seventy
third year will see steady progress for the
Chronicle. Certainly we here at the helm
are planning for such year. The teamwork
which has been instilled into our OrganiZa-
ton assures you readers continued clean,
overall eoverage in the news reporting here
at the Chronicle. AS in the past, we shall
continue to shy away from the yellow jour-
nalism type of reporting. We shall send to
your homes each issue a newspaper which
your children may safely read and which
you will be happy to welcome each week.
That, as we begin our seventy-third year Of
service, is our promise to our forty thousand
readers.

Nowadays we are all inclined to grumble

the tragic misfOrtunes of our generation

ably altered the world. Others finds in their
own lives an equal cause for grievance-it
is hard for them to forget how badly, on
occasion, fate has used them. Such discon-
terts-even the most trivial-make sore
places in our minds which rankle and grow
deeper as we brood.
