Backward Step in Fiscal Reform

No matter how hard it may try to justify its
action, the blunt truth is that the House Appro-
priations Committee, by vote of 81 to 49, has
resurrected spending -as-usual system of ap
preparation when the crying need of the hour
is for economy of the sternest sort 1t will take
lot of explaining to convince the war-worried
public that the single-package appropriation BILL
having saved the Government estimated 81
billion in the first year of its test should now be
scrapped in favor of the clumsy wasteful and
costly multiple-bi plan.
What this regrettable vote means is that
Congress once more will be confronted with
dozen departmental appropriation bills which
1t will consider one by one and with little or no
regard to one another-or to the revenue bill.
Major bills will be passed without knowledge of
what the ultimate cost of all the bills will be
and without relation to the Governments ability
to pay the total cost from income. This out
moded plan is made to order for deficit spending.
1t has no place in any prudent management
system for public or private business. No sue
ceSsful business would tolerate such loose ham
ding of it's financial affairs.
The omnibus bill in practice proved to have
numerous advantages over the old pecemeal
arrangement. 1t not only kept Congress in
formed on the size of the budget but dramatized
to the country at large the staggering cost of
running the Government. 1t gave Congress a
yardStick for gauging revenue requirements It
made it easier to impose acroSS-the board econ
omy cuts-as was done in the past year with
saving of half billion dollars. It made it
harder for pressure groups to apply their pres
sure effectively.
Chairman Cannon of the House Appropria-
tons Committee, who ought to know what he is
talking about, says that every predatory lobby
list, every pressure group seeking to get its hands
into the Treasury, every bureaucrat seeking to
extend his empire is opposed to the consolidated
bill" Surely these are reasons enough to justify
adoption of the plan on permanent basis Yet
majority of the committee has voted to abolish
it. This backward step in fiscal reform'-as
Senator Byrd aptly described it-does not make
sense.

'Titoism' in Italy

Significant cracks are beginning to appear
m the Italian Communist Party. Two of its for
mer stalwartS have resigned from it, Both men,
bers of Parliament they are Aldo Cucchi and
Waldo Magnani, the latter distinguished for
having organized what is regarded as the most
effective Red regional unit in Italy. They have
broken away because they found themselves un-
able to stomach the traitorous Cominform dogma
that all comrades, no matter what their national
ity, must be more loyal to the Kremlin than to
their own native lands.
Mr.. Magnani, with Mr.. Cucchi supporting
him. has definitely washed his hands of that idea.
He has done so not merely by resigning from the
party but by publicly declaring that every Italian,
without exception should consider it his first and
highest duty "to defend our Fatherland if the
frontier should be attacked from any direction
whatsoever" In other words, if the attack should
come from the Soviet Union or one of it's satel-
lites, then Italy's Reds-as patriots owing allie
abroad-must battle the attacker as bitterly and
as steadfastly they should any aggressor of any
ldeology.
This is what the Cominform inveighs against
as the "crime" of nationalistic communism. It
is the kind of communism under which Marshal
Tito has declared Yugoslavia's independence of
Moscow, with the result that the Soviet Union has
marked him down as one of its most dangerous
enemies. He is dangerous because he has become
the leader of potentially far-reaching schism
In the Communist world on both sides of the
Iron Curtain. Now the schism has struck Italy,s
Red organization, the biggest in Western Europe
Next it may strike in France, and in due course
let us hope-in the satellite lands. 1t is thing
that could shatter all of the Kremlin's impe-
rialistic dreams and ambitions

The Conscience of the World"

Red China has been condemned as an
aggreSsor-not by the United Nations
General Assembly, but by the patriotic
Chinese-American employees of a WASH
ington restaurant
Many OF us looked forward to seeing
the General Assembly fulfill the promise
OF the high-minded words used to
herald 1.-THE conscience of the world"
What does it profit us to have CON
science" that does not know right from
wrong-or acts as though it did not?
Mrs. Pearl Buck. whose writings reflect
lofty idealism, recently supported
Prime Minister Nehru's stand that India
should not join the nations branding
Red China as a warmaker, explaining
that to do so would end India's hopes of
saving the peace of the world. Does
history support such hope? Have trans
gressorS ever been turned toward up
rightness and decency by those who
appeared not to recognize evil when
they saw it? Their moral inf1uence-on
individuals or Enthusiastically has
been nil
United Nations spokesmen should not
refer to international blackmail and
unprovoked aggression as difficulties"
dealt with. These things probably should
be called international crimes.
BY this time the Chinese Reds have
no doubt ceased to think of themselves
as aggressors. and come to believe their
own lies about being liberators, seeing
that so many United Nations delegations
seem unable to decide what they are.
Perhaps they will be given a seat on the
Security Council. as if it had been the
design of the authors of the Charter of
the United Nations that a government
should be able to fight its way into
that association of peace-loving nations!
The world-outlook would be less grim
If We had more men with the firm and
realistic idealism of Patrick Henry and
Thomas Jefferson-more with the un-
yielding courage of the martyred Bulgar-
ian statesman Nikola Petkov who, fac
ing bowling mob of Communists de-
manding his death, could condemn Red
tyranny as the monstrous evil that it is.

@. What is the approximate cost Of
adding sodium huoride to the water
supply of city?-M. D. Y.
A. The cost of adding about one part
per million of f1uorine to city water has
been placed at $0.10 per year for each
person receiving the public water sup
ply. Another recent estimate gives the
cost as varying between $005 and $015
per person per annum.
@. When were surnames adopted by
the people of Russia and why do so
many use pseudonyms?-P. P.
A. Surnames go back to the early
1860's when serfs were freed Not until
then did large masses of Russian people
have anything more than their given
names and an appendage to identify
them. Repression by the czars caused
many men to go underground and adopt
aliases.
O. Is there a specific breed OF horses
known as Steeldust?-H. D.
A. Steeldust is family of the Quarter
Horse and derived it's name from ia
nous stallion by the name of Steel Dust.

ter Horses are referred to as Steeldusts.
A Steeldust horse may be any solid color.

An urgent appeal for foster
homes where uprooted children can
enjoy the advantages of family life
was sounded last week by William
L. Schmidt, president of the Cath
olic Welfare bureaus advisory
board, before the Catholic Mems
Luncheon club. He spoke at the
clubs second meeting on Oct. 5 in
the Virginia hotel, Columbus.
Copies of a 12-page booklet pub
lished earlier in the week by the
Catholic Welfare bureau to drama
tie its search for families willing
to board foster children were dis
tributed at the meeting.
There is no more admirable
work of charity" declared Mr..
Schmidt, than to provide homes
for helpless and dependent chill
dren, and the need for these homes
is great"
He pointed out that the Catholic
Welfare bureau prefers to place
children in foster homes rather
than in institutions, wherever pos
sible. ''It is believed" he said,
"that in most cases children ben
eft from growing up in home at
mosphere and develop normal ad-
vantages which they cannot pos
sibly receive in an institution"
Here is an opportunity" he told
the men, ito assist the work of the
bureau by helping to find foster
homes"
