1850, A New York Times editor.
ial observes, was period of sta
tistical prosperity, "a febrile pros
perity, in which war and initiation
unhappily, were the dominating in
fluences, especially in the months
since Korea" 1851 promises to be
even more so, thus leading US deep
er into the morass of statistical
make believe, economic self-decep-
tion and inflationary phantoms.
If anyone doubts this, let him
look at the facts. According to a
recent survey, an individual with a
$4,000 income in 1910 had to earn
$5,440 last year to compensate for
the dollar decline and added taxa
ton. The equivalent of a $4,000
pre-war income was $19,800, and
that of a $4,000 income $4,000,
of which $4,000 went for taxes.

Unionized workers in principal
industries, the Times able labor
writer, A. H. Raskin, reports, "won
more than 50 billion in wage in
creases during 1850, but rising liv-
ing costs and taxes ate up much
of labor's gains" This trend has
also dampened the enthusiasm of
both management and labor for
long-term contract t. S, especially
their pension and welfare provis-
ions built on a dollar which is no
longer a reliable yardstick. Recent
developments have caused unions
"to shift the bulk of their collec-
tive bargaining emphasis from
welfare demands to high wages"
Raskin comments.
To say that the present state of
the national economy, outward ap-
pearances Notwithstanding, is un-
healthy is no eXaggeration. More
over, if economic progress is mea-
sured by our ability to produce
ever greater and lasting wealth, the
outlook becomes still more depress-
ing. 1t is very we'll to strive for a
$500 billion-a-year economy and at
tendant benefits, but unless that
economy is sound and based on
stable money it is likely to give
rise to a 20th-century Mississippi
bubble of gigantic dimensions.
X \ \
What can be done to arrest this
trend? Drastic reduction of nom
essential public expenditures, sound
fiscal policies, heavy taxes, credit
curbs, price-wage controls, ETC.,
may in some measure stem the in
flationary tide. Yet no matter how
harshly applied, they are bound to
leave wide loopholes. These leaks
can be plugged only by directing
the rising dollar flood into con-
structive channels and thus streng-
thening the American economy as
a whole.
That, of course, calls for increas-
ed investment in government bonds
by people no longer able to spend
their money on luxuries and non
essential goods. Just the same, this
is no initiation cure. Holders of
savings bonds are understandably
worried over what the dollar will
buy in terms of necessities by the
time their investments mature.

What was true and urgent then
is equally true and more urgent to-
day. For only when the roots of
free enterprise are constantly nour-
ished with the resources of free
people and its fruits made increas-
ingly available to the citizen can
the specters of political and econ
omic collectivism be. banned from
our shores. And only when Amer
leans look confidently ahead and
provide intelligently and respon-
sibly for the future can the dangers
inherent in the present crisis be
dealt with and our febrile pros
perity become an era of good will
and prosperity for all.

Y
of Defense George c. Marshall and
Assistant Secretary Anna M.
Rosenberg have asked Congress to
enact Universal Military Training
into law.
Appearing before the Prepared
ness subcommittee of the Senate
Armed Services, Mrs. Rosenberg
and General Marshall spelled out
their proposal in detail and said
they would recommend specific
legislation within a few days.
Mrs. Rosenberg indicated they
had the full support of President
Truman. He has long been a UNIT
advocate and two days earlier in
his State of the Union Message he
pointed out that other signatories
to the Atlantic Pact had UNIT sys-
TENS in effect.
Before the general and the as
sistant secretary testified, Sen.
Lyndon Johnson Cd, Tex, chair
man of the subcommittee, announc-
ed the hearings were being held to
find how the Us can "most wise
ly" use its "most valuable and yet
most limited resource-manpower
Ito do the job we must now under
take" He said the Departments of
Labor and Agriculture, the Federal
Security Agency and Selective Ser
vice also would be heard. He also
said specific legislative proposals
would not be considered until all
the facts were assembled.
"For a long time," added John
son, 1--WE have dealt with manpower
piecemeal; we have improvised our
solutions to manpower problems
day to day. This is a luxury we can
no longer indulge. The manpower
programs we undertake now must
be geared to a continuing struggle
of 10 years or more if they are t6
be at all adequate. The time has
come when we must look beyond
the end of our nose This is not
a war in which only youths in the
prime of physical condition will
carry the burden of defending this
nation. Our individual infirmities
are paltry handicaps when compar-
ed with the infirmities of a nation
which excuses large portions of it's
populace from productive service" "
General MarshalPs proposals
called for entrance into the armed
forces of all males at the age of
IS. They would serve 27 months in
time Of crises, term which would
be reduced to six months by the
President when international ten
sions slackened.
There's nothing new about put
ting 1S-year olds in uniform, the
veteran soldier reminded the Sen
ators. Boys of that age served IN.
both World Wars and at the end of
the second some of our finest fight
ing men were in the 18, 10 and 20
year old groups.
Marshall deplored the "destruc-
tive periods" he'd experienced in
his military lifetime. No longer
must we make the mistake of or
ganizing "short term plans for inn
mediate emergencies to be followed.
by abrupt rehabilitation" he de-
clared. He added that l8year-olds
entering service could learn much
to make them better citizens and
at the same time would make a
great contribution to national Sc
curity.
Mrs. Rosenberg outlined the pro
gram point by point. Physically INT
1S-year-olds would serve u months
of which the first six months would
be devoted to training. Nobody
could be sent overseas without a
minimum of four months of train
ing. The President could reduce the
total service period on recommen-
dation Of the Secretary Of Defense.
After serving, each trained man
would remain in the reserve three

Franklin picked a good target for

Franklin kept the gag going. In

Twenty centuries ago, Roman cal

are among their most popular

The editors OF the Old Farmers
Almanac say that when weather fore.
