LIKE THE WEATHER

The current discussion over government
economy is reminiscent of Mark Twain's
famous remark about the weather. Every
body seems to talk about it, but nobody does
anything about it. If this anomaly puzzles
you, it would be good idea to read a piece
called Economy Inertia" by Alan Often,
which appeared in a recent issue of the Wall
Street Journal. Mr.. Often cited the records
of a number of typical Congressman who
have constantly demanded economy as a gen.
eral principle-and have then gone hell-bent
for bigger and better appropriations for
their own states and their own pet projects
Then he said, $50 it goes down the line
SOutherners favor big soil conservation and
other farm appropriations. Men from the
shipbuilding states want appropriations for
maritime activities. Westerners want Fed
eral aid for their mines and new Federal
reclamation and power projects. Practically
every congressman works on the assumption
that the money is pouring out, and his dis
trlct might as well get as much as it can"
Elsewhere IN his revealing article, Mr. Often
said, "Ihis fact ennerges clearly as the Fed
eral budget keeps pushing higher: There will
be no real economy, whatever the form of
the bills before Congress, so long as the leg
lSlat0r themselves preach economy but re-
fuse to practice it." In other words, the
legislative attitude, with few rare and
honorable exceptions, is ''plenty of economy
for the other fellow and the other district
but none for me and none for my district" :"
To make matters worse, we seem to have a
national administration which is determined
to keep domestic spending at an ever-in-
creasing level and to pile the defense spend
ing on top of it. And so the dollar gets
cheaper, the savings of the people are re-
duced to a fraction of former levels, and in
fatlon runs like race horse. What is the
cure3 Primarily, it lies in a public under

standing of how unbridled spending can de-
StrOy free nation as surely as a war
coupled with the strongest kind of public
demand for economy no matter whom it
hurts. That means that every avOidable ex-
penSe-Whether it be for a great tax-exempt
government power dam or some little pork
barrel prOject-be ruthlessy cut from the
new and future budgets.

FRIGHTENED BY WASHINGTON
A friend of the editor recently bought
a new furnace. He didn't need # now~fbe
old one would have lasted through this win
ter and possibly the next Also, he had TO
borrow the money. So he was asked whv he
didn't postpone the purchase. He said he
was frightened by the Government. For all
ne knows, when the normal replacement time
comes he may find that the only way he could
get furnace would be to apply to a National
Furnace Administration, fill out a million
forms and wait six months for an okay from
some bureaucrat. Meanwhile, he'd freeze. So
ne bought something he doesn't need to blIv
To-Day but Will need to buy sOmeday, adding
to his own burdens and also, in a small wav
to total consumer demand. And he did ali
this because Washington has scared him
into doing 1t. If Washington wanted more
shortages as an excuse for more controls. It
could hardly do better than it's doing. The
hard fact is that, while Washington has been
weeping crocodile tears over imitation and
scarcities, it has been pursuing policies
which made more imitation and more scarci-
ties inevitable. All the controls ever inau-
lned by man will be Ineffective if people lose
faith in the integrity and actions of their
gOvernment-and if their government keens
on spending their money like a drunken
sailor for non-essential things. 1t IS All very
well to talk about national unity, but unity
must be earned not just requested. It's time
our government quit frightening us.

Federal Reserve Bank Of Phila
Reports On Current Trends

Business and banking in the
Third Federal Reserve District
were maintained at high levels in
January. However, some areas or
segments of the economy failed to
show improvement over the pre-
ceding month.
Activity in Pennsylvania manu-
featuring industries appears to be
leveling off. Production in January
continued at approximately the pace
prevailing for the preceding two
months, similarly, employment
showed 20 change. Output of nom
durable factories continued to be
reduced and operations in plants
making durables were also cur
tailed. However, production and
working forces of both categories
were at levels which exceeded last
years by substantial margins. Al
though employment showed no
change and working hours declin-
ed seasOnally from December to
January, wage rate increases caus-
ed gain in total payrOlls.
In the construction field, only
residential building showed any
sign of slowing in the near future
Contract awards in the other lines
were up substantially from De-
cember However, resi- ntia /
awards, as we'll as those for other
types of construction, were con-
siderably above a year ago.

HEALTH AND EDUCATION

Cold statistics show that the greatest wealth
consists of good health and good judgment. The most
waseful people and the poorest investors are those
who sacrifice their health for money, pleasure, or
social position. They will ultimately be treated by
society orange peel is treated after one has
bucked out the juice Hence wise investors will put
health first. The next best investment is to give our
children good practical education and sane religious
ideals. Therefore, storing up physical, mental and
spiritual resources is of great importance These are
the best hedges against ong-term initiation. The less
the dollar becomes worth, the more these reserves
will be worth.
With these blessings you surely will also want
a home. If you have none and have the funds, buy
one now. When you buy commodities for less than
they be produced, or buy land for less than it
can be cleared, buy house for less than it can
be built all for your own use, you are sure make
money. Some day people will the light and switch
some of their bank accounts, which may constantly
become of less value into good land and houses.
Remember there are over two hundred billions of
dollars almost idle in bank accounts or dsposable
government bonds which could be spent for better
homes.
WHAT ABOUT WORLD WAR III!
Only Mr.. Stain knows whether World War II
Milford chronicle., 1951-03-09

will start in 1851. His present policy seems to be
to scare us, with violent propaganda to spend hun
dreds of billions more on armaments and thereby
force serious imitation and depression upon us
Russia may believe that the easiest way to beat the
capitalistic system is to make it nOn-prOftable #
So this surely will cause our people to scramble
for real estate, commodities (Os, metals, etc. and
the stocks of merchandising companies They will
buy no bonds except "Convertbles"
Some ask who will then have the money to buy
farms, houses and other real resources? My answer
is that the farmers, merchants, and even wage
workers who now have over a billion of almost idle
funds will then have the money Not being satisfied
with what they now have and hating to pay taxes,
fear they will force the Government to print more
paper money and issue more bonds. AS result if
World War III should come, expect to see, during
the postwar years, letter postage at twenty-five
cents hair at $780, and common labor at s1OO
per day.

SCHOOL REFERENDUM TOMORROW

Milford citizens will be asked to approve
a bond issue of S20,0OO.O0 at the referendum
election tomorrow. This money is needed to
complete the school building program ap-
proved by our residents on November 5,
1949. In report to the people the members
of our local Board of Education have said
that they believe the issue can be financed
without additional taxes. This is encour-
aging and should assure a favorable vote
at tOmOrrOW's referendum. When the pres
ent building program, all now under con-
tract, is completed our district, with state
aid, will have completed a project which to-
tails S610,0O0.00. The new additions are an
elementary wing of twenty class rooms. A
separate unit consisting of a classroom and
shop to be used as the agriculture farm
shop. An addition to the high school build
ing to provide dual gymnasium facilities.
Voters are asked to prOlOng the refer
endum of 1949 one additional year to take
care Of the $2O,00O.O0 issue provided for in
the referendum tomorrow. To offset this
the Milford Board of Education proposes to
decrease the tax rate of the 1871 referendum
three cents. This follows the regular policy
of the board of reducing the tax rate as
rapidly as possible Milford voters should
approve the bond issue tomorrow so that
the building project now under way shall
be completed in time for the school year be-
ginning next September. Let's get the job
done now.

WHY NOT PROVIDE us WITH
DEFINITE FIRE SIGNALS?

Since the disastrous fire at the Calvary
Methodist Church last Saturday morning,
we have been asked dozens of times ''Why
doesn't City Council set up some system of
fire signals whereby the location Of a fire
may be made knOWn?' There is only one
answer, of course, they just haven't done it.
For years Milford residents were given the
location of a fire by a system of blasts on
the old "fire whistle" With the installation
Of the electric siren this practice was abOl-
iShed. We believe that Milford citizens have
a right to know the general location of a
fire without the mental torture to which
they are now subjugated when the alarm
sounds. This is especially true on the part
of property owners, merchants, manUfac-
turers and others having places of business
downtown
It does seem to us that City Council can
find some method whereby they can provide
the necessary information without too great
inconvenience to the officials. At each ses-
sion of Council hours are consumed in Wrag-
Cling over projects which are dead, or which
should be dead, over visionary schemes which
are just as we'll forgotten, and in killing
time in general. Many of the schemes dis
cUssed and approved call for monetary eH-
penditureS out of all proportion to their
value to the City. Here is one suggestion
which we offer to Council for what it is
worth. Why not install special telephone
in the police headquarters which shall be
listed for information to the public for fire
calls only. There is someone on duty at all
times in this Office and no extra expense
would be involved in personnel. The only
additional cost would be the monthly charge
for the phOne-and that would be small.
Think it over, Councilmen.

TROOPS TO EUROPE DEBATE

the President has the legal or moral right to
send troops to help garrison Europe with

it can only be made by the Executive. And
he cites many cases, going far back into our
history, where other Presidents have sent
troops on foreign duty without the consent
or advice of Congress.
Those who think Otherwise-and Senator
Taft has been leader of this grOup-have
strong arguments sOn their side. They say
that the writer's of the Constitution made the
President COmmander-in-Chief so that he
could Immediately rally the nations defenses
inevent of attack-in the stagecOach days, it
took weeks to convene Congress, where now
it could be convened overnight. They argue
that it is a very different matter to send
divisions of troops to Europe, in the face of
the Russian menace, than it was to dispatch
a few soldiers or sailors to deal with the
Barbary pirates or Mexican bandits. Prob
ably their most powerful argument is that,
if the President can send troops wherever
he likes and in any number he actually has
the power to make war without the consent
of Congress, which would be a direct viola
tiOn of the Constitution. 1t is an interesting
fact that some Senators who are battling the
President over this far-reaching issue are
for, not against, sending substantial num-
bers OF American troops abroad to serve un-
der General EisenhOwer's Atlantic Pact COM
mand. But they do not believe that one man
should have authority to make that decision
There is still another side to this which
Walter Lippman touched on in a recent col
umn. eff the President were wiser than he
is, Mr.. Lippman wrote, "he never would
have dreamed of questioning the right of
Congress to participate in the unprecedented
project of placing an American standing
army in Europe and of merging it in an in
ternatiOnaal army. He would not only have
sought the advice Of Congress but he would
have insisted from the outset that COnprnCC
share his responsibility" Mr. Lippman diff
fered sharply with Governor Dewey's un-
equivOcal support of the President on this
issue, and said, "Can Governor Dewey argue
that the project of an American standing
army in Europe, involving perhaps 100000
men, can be called mere 'deplOyment' like
sending troops to Hawaii, Alaska, or even
by putting ground crews at some air strips
in Great Britain?"
So the various arguments run. One thing
is sure-whatever the ultimate decision, this
is one of the most important Constitutional
questions that has ever arisen in this coun-
try.

|Ben-Gurion 1oppled
By Education Issue,
RabbiMaiInon Reports

Rabbi Judah L. Maimon, Israeli
Minister of Religions. yesterday
declared that the downfall Of the
Ben Gurion government two weeks
ago was precipitated over the
very. very painful and fundamen-
tai problem Of religious educa-
tion."
The 76-year-old leader Of the
Orthodox bloc in the Jewish par
lament yesterday addressed the
Washington rabbinate at the He
brew Academy of Washington. He
was honored last night at recep-
ton in the home of Abba Eban,
Ambassador of Israel.
The religious education contro-
versy, which caused two govern
mental crises last year, came to q
head when Prime Minister David
Ben -Gurion's Socialist Party tried
to push through plan for edu-
eating newly-arrived children
from Arabic countries in secular
schools. Defeat of the plan by a
vote of 49-42 amounted to a no.
confidence vote. Elections for a
new parliament probably will be
held in April or May.
1.-THE cabinet crisis in Israel
constitutes no, greater tragedy
than a change of government in
any other country" the rabbi said.
1.-The fact that not only the Is
members Of the United Religious
Block, but 33 others joined in dis
approving of the proposals made
by Mapai (Ben Gurion's partly
is indicative of the attitude and
feelings of the majority"
Asked how he expected his party
to fare in the elections, the rabbi
asserted it would maintain It's own
strength and possibly pick up some
additional seats.
