SaUe Your Cheers

warning from the administration this week
following President Truman's announcement that
he will not be candidate for reelection, that this
did not mean a Korean Truce is imminent, seems
highly superfuOus.

neutral" armistice inspector The UN Command is
protesting that the enemy has placed prisoner-Of-
war camps close to military targets and main supply
routes and have failed to properly identify the camps
thus endangering the lives of the prisoners. In re-
ply, the Reds have charged Allied flyers with wan
ton bombing" and said the camps could not be
moved. Thus the stalling continues.
Lieutenant Colonel Albert N. Butler, who under
took to explain the UN position the prison camps
to Chinese Colonel Wang Chen, remarked that very
little thought given to the security of prisoners
No doubt this the diplomatic approach, but it is
fairly obvious that the Reds have used, are using
and will continue to UN prisoners to shield them
from attack or to minimize its intensity.
The White House announcement that a Korean
Truce is not necessarily at hand is the understate
ment of the year e. the year since General Mac
Arthur was relieved of his Old-hat idea of winning
the Korean War.

"Hope Sprillns Eternal"

1t is little short of amazing, now that the hrst
shock of President Truman's Swan Song has passed,
how many of the Fair Deal Faithfuls knew it all
the time" And the speed with which the entire
menage has rallied from the blow approaches the
ludcrOus. If you were listening, you know with
what polite restraint the Administrations train
ed-seals heard their Chief at the $1OOapate gouge
in the Washington ArnOry, and how well-mannered
the patter of applause.
But next day. after a good nights sleep, the
enthusiasm of $500 party leaders knew no bounds

for what and having spared their thrOats the night
before, broke into lusty cheering

Democratic ticket if I were on it," he said"
I am not fair-day Democrat l am Fair Deal
Democrat"
And then he added: 81 don't really believe you
are cheering me because l not going to run
again."
At this moment. the her-apparent would seem
to be Governor Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois, whose
record makes him look suspicOusly like long-lost
Jeffersonian Democrat. If these things 50, we
shall be treated to the ncongruity of Fair Deal rab
be-rousng from a President of the United States
in support of of the surviving champions of gen.
uine Democratic principles principles that Tru-
man and his predecessor have all but extinguished.

Attorney General j. Howard McGrath has not
filled out that QUESTIONABLE Number One, in which
Presidential Investigator Newbold Morris asks the
amounts and sources of outside income and how

the Department of Justice. He added, I am not
sure whether going to-" He had also held up
all the others, he said until satisfied it is the
proper procedure to subject government employees

The White House refused comment on the mat
ter. Mr. Morris, who had previously said that his
only weapon is appeal to President Truman, and
that if the President failed to fire those who refused
to turn the statements in, he would gO home, could
not be reached He had not yet gone home, it was
indicated.
This is the same Mr.. McGrath who presented the
Morris name to the President a candidate fcI the

Mr. Morris not his first choice. but that from
what "he knows now" he would not appoint him to
the job.

ROYALTY NEEDN'T BE BOTHERED"
The Selma, California, Enterprise recent
ly ran an editorial called "Divine Right of
Kings" which deserves the attention of
thinking people everywhere. 1t began, "In
the old days of absolute mOnarchies, govern
ment considered it had divine blessing to do
anything it pleased. Perhaps because our
own government has grown so large and
powerful, some of its agents seem to think
they enjoy the same gOd-like privileges"
The Enterprise then went on to describe
a current controversy IN California which
illustrates that point perfectly Back in 1949,
taxpaying, publicly regulated utility COM
pany was granted a license by the Federal
Power Commission to build power plants on
one of the states rivers. But this didn't
suit the Bureau of Reclamation, which wants
to do the job itself-with the taxpayers
money. The Bureau asked the FPC to cam
Gel the license, and was turned down.
Then the Bureau sought special Congress
siOnal legislation to gain it's end-which is
socialism pure and simple. Congress refus-
ed. Still the Bureau wouldn't give up. 1t
went before the FPC again with it's case
and again FPC said no, and renewed the
license granted the private utility.
This, any reasonable man would think
would be the end of the matter. But the So
claliStS in the Bureau never say die. A short
time ago the Bureau asked the Department
OF Justice to take legal action in an attempt
to overturn the FPC'S decision.
In concluding its editorial, the Enterprise
said, 'The Federal power planners argue that
they should have the first chance at anv DOW
er development, anywhere AS far as
rules and regulations, Congressional decis-
ions, and the wishes of local people are con.
cerned, those are matters for ordinary folk
to worry about. Royalty needn't be bother
ed"
This divine right of kings" attitude is
one OF the most OminOuS characteristics OF
the time. 1t is is found in every branch OF
our huge, unmanageable government struc.
ture-and it is particularly rampant among
those whose driving ambition is to socialize
industry, make government all-pOwerful, anC
TO sabotage the free enterprise system. 1t is
the kind of attitude which, far enough ex
tended, leads to dictatorship and the crush
ing of all freedoms. The California example
is but one of many.

For there is also a limit TO the
taxes that can be levied on any
uniform basis. without creating i'm
justice and hardship and initiation.
If taxes are raised too high they are
themselves inflaticnary. even though
the budget is balar ,ed. When the
hardship Of taxes is too great peo-
pie succeed in one way or another
in passing them on into the price Of
the goods, which is ultimately paid
for by the consumer.
There is another limit to be con-
sidered-the number Of men who
can be drafted into the Army and
taken out Of productive life. Prob
ably we can maintain our produc-
ton, even though S.5OO.OOO men are
employed in the armed forces. ale

from many farmers who have relied
on sons from 1S to 81 to run their
farms, to the effect that they win
no longer be able to undertake the
program Of increased agricultural
production on their farms.

Longer Service


Reliable estimates have been
made by experts on manpower
available for the armed forces,
which show that we cannot keep
more than S.5OO.OOO men in the
armed forces without increasing the
regular term Of service to more
than the current two-year term.
Such service is already serious in-
reference with the education Of our
boys, and the greatest limitation on
individual freedom in peacetirne the
people have ever had imposed on
them. Three years universal serv.
ice would be still more disruptive
and obnoxious to the American peo-
pie.
One Of our main functions in the
present situation is to increase the
already great production necessary
70 give the raw materials and the
support to the countries Of the Allan
tic Pact and to other countries
throughout the world. We must not
weaken ourselves by rampant iD-
flation or shortage Of manpower or
destroy the morale necessary to
keep our people productive even
beyond the present figures.
In short, even though the United
States has the greatest production
in the world. there is a definite linn
it to what we can do. We cannot
and should not proceed on the theory
that war viii begin tomorrow. All
out mobilization can only be under
taken when war is certain.

Yandenbera's Influence

NNNN%aeSAS AAhAaASAA&6
The Administration seems to have
accepted this strategy in theory,
since the days Of Secretary Byrnes.
/ believe that Arthur Vandenberg
had most to do with reversing the
policies Of Teberan, Yalta, and Pots
dam. He stiffened the attitude Of
Secretary Stettinius at San Fran
cisco. He counseled against conces-
sions to Russia in Europe which
might have led to a Communist
Germany. He and Byrnes forced
President Truman to eliminate the
pro-Communist Henry Wallace from
his Cabinet. Senator Vandenberg
was never consulted about the Far
East, and the change-over in policy
there was not made.
My basic criticism Of Admins
tration policy today is that no one
seems to have worked out a COM
prehensive plan for the application
of this strategy or any co-ordinated
use Of the many policies necessary
to carry it out.
Have we any program, positive or
negative, ready for use in Yugo-
slavia or Iran or Burma or Indo-
China?

" comes, viii best defend America
and enable US to achieve ultimate
victory.
But we must be always alert to
explore every possibility Of perma-
nent peace and all changes in pub
lie opinion in Russia or the satellite
countries which look in that direc-
ton.
For the present our policy may
be said to be one Of containment,
but it certainly carries the hope
that we can develop an affirmative
policy which will constantly extend
the doctrine and the power Of lib
erty.

Plans for More

PIuns for More
On July %. 1851, however, the
President suggested in his eco
nomic report that $780, 900 men was
only an interim goal. and that plans
were being made for a substantially
larger expenditure. Secretary Ache
son sent word to the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee that Is billion dol
lars for three years Of foreign aid
was a serious underestimate. This
indicated a Federal budget Of at
least 100 billion dollars a year for
fiscal 1858 and fiscal 1854.
No nation can be constantly pre-
pared to undertake a flll-scale war
at any moment and still hope to
maintain any Of the other purposes
in which people are interested and
for which nations are founded.
In the first place, it requires a
complete surrender Of liberty and
the turning over to the central gov
ernment Of power to control in de-
tail the lives Of the people.
It would be impossible to conduct
any such all-out program without
initiation. In World War II, in spite
Of complete controls, we saw an
increase in prices. apparently per-
manent, Of about 20 per cent, q de-
probation Of the dollar to so cents.
Finally, it would interfere with
the very production which Is the
great basis Of the strength Of the
United States and to which not only
our own people but all Of our allies
look for ultimate victory II there
should be a war with Russia.
Our Choice
The truth is that the most fore.
sighted person could not set up a
preparation that would protect Us
against every conceivable con-
tingency. One or two Pearl Har-
bors might lay US open to a dan.
gerous attack. We have to choose
those measures which win give us
Milford chronicle., 1952-04-04
Our Limitations

We must realize that there are
definite economic and manpower
limitations on American strategy.
The people Of the United States
constitute only per cent Of the
population Of the globe. Our raw
materials are certainly not more
than a third Of the worlds re-
sources. Our huge production is
still less than one third Of the
worlds production.
Our people cannot, and do not
desire to, boss the internal affairs
of other countries. They cannot
send armies to block a Communist
advance in every far corner Of the
world. Consequently, we must con
slider the cost Of the policies we
adopt, both in men and money. anC
we are. forced to be selective in de
termining the relative value anC
cost of each project.
It is not solely a military problem

Further Expansion

clude the further expansion sug-
gested by the President in his Eco
nomic Report. Taxes, including
those enacted in 1850, are now es.

billion dollars Of additional taxes in
order to balance the budget.
# to SO billion dollars we add
about 18 billion dollars for state and
local taxes our total tax bill win be
lO7 billion dollars. or approximate
ly one third Of the gross national
production. My own view is that this
is more than we can possibly stand
without initiation. It would be about
40 per cent Of the national income;
and 30 per cent Of expenditure and

In our reasonable economic ca.
pacity.
After that we must choose be-
tween the various measures con-
tributing to our defense, to deter
mine which are Of first Importance
and which can be ignored without
serious danger.
The number Of men IN uniform Is
the most convenient guide to the
total cost Of the program, although.
Of course, there are many other
elements. Just after the Korean War
the Chiefs Of Staff wanted 2, 100, 600
men. In December 1850 they raised
their sights to 2,7OO, 900 men. Within
30 days after that they finally came
in with the suggestion Of approx
imately $500, 900 men in uniform.
Now larger number IS suggested.
At the time Of writing the Presi-
dents expenditure budget for fis-
cal 1852 is still approximately 70
billion dollars. including about a
billion donars for the armed forces,
plus six and one quarter billion dol
lars for arms to foreign countries.
But, from various indications, this
is not going to be the actual ulti-
mate cost Of the program now sub
mitted.

Sugar Ray Robinson, world
middleweight champion, will
fight a 12-round no-title event
against Albert Yvel of Casa
blanca, French light-heavy-
weight champion, in Tel Aviv on
August End. The bout, which will
be staged in the huge $4,000 seat
outdoor stadium in the nearby
suburb of Ramat Gan, will be the
first professional bout staged in
Israel.
Robinson, who was induced by
the well-known attorney, BARLEY
Crum, to participate in the match,
will fight for the sum of $1.00.
After his performance in Israel
he will leave for Europe for. a
series Of exhibition bouts in Italy,
France, Switzerland, and Ger
many. His only actual fight, how
ever, will be the contest in Israel.
Arrangements are under way
to have the match filmed for later
television showings in the United
States. Robinson, who earlier this
year gave $4,000 to the United
Jewish Appeal, is donating his
share of the television rights to
the Israel War Veterans Fund.

When the Senate voted to over

ferent ways. Pat McCarran thrust
out his chin in a Mussolini-like
pose. Joseph R. Mccarthy grinned

quietly got up after the vote and,
with simple dignity, walked to-

tears which had welled up in his
eyes broke forth and streamed
down his face. Mrs. Lehman, who
had come to hear the result of the
vote, comforted him.
