A BUSINESS OR A
PUBLIC SERVICE?
(Teamsters Magazine)

The Post Office Departments
move to increase postal rates ap-
proximately Is per cent should
get long, hard look from Con-
gress.
During the Presidential cam
paign, the Republican platform
pledge to give a more efficient
and frequent mail delivery ser
vice" was fully aired in the
search for votes. COP orators
did not specify a return to twice
a-day deliveries, but they i'm
piled that that was their inten-
ton.
After almost six months, the
mail service of the nation still
is disgrace. Deliveries are bog
ged down, letters and periodicals
being delayed needlessly.
To his credit, Postmaster Gen
eral Summerfield has surround
ed himself with capable admin
istrators in the department. He
has embarked on laudable sur
veys to determine how service
can be improved.
But the proposition of simply
slapping on an across-the-board
increase in rates to solve postal
problems appears to be gross
over-simplification of the entire
matter. 1t is like giving the an
liswer to a mathematical problem,
then starting to work on the
problem itself.
Postal rates on second-class
mail, newspapers and magazines
were raised 10 per cent in April
1852, and were boosted another
10 per cent April l, 1853. An
other big increase, such as that
proposed by the Post Office De.
partment, would jeopardize the
very lives of countless smaller
newspapers and periodicals. The
nation needs every source of in
formation possible today, and il
would be unfortunate indeed il
Post Office rates succeeded in
killing small but crusading pub
locations, where competition in
the past has failed. We cannot
afford to price these publications
out of business.
The time has come when the
nation must decide whether the
postal service is to be a public
service or a financially-sounc
enterprise, subject to the whim:
and fluctuations of the nationa
economy.
Traditionally, the service-ou,
most vital communications net.
work-has been public service
We don't believe the people
want that principle changed.

Undoubtedly, in time these fig
ures will appear in published re-
ports as a example of growing
trade between England and her
dominions and possessions. But
one point will be neglected.
That point will be this trade
was only made possible by U. 5.
paying the bill.
Similar arrangements are COM
pleted practically every day.

And almost every day England
cries the world cannot exist with
out free trade, and that free
trade cannot exist with U. S.
tariff laws protecting the Ameri-
can market.
England has yet to demon
strate that it can work out any
free trade arrangements within
her own family.
y X y
Yet, despite the published
facts, veil of secrecy appears
over them in Washington. Cong
ress must take some action on
tariff matters by June 80, yet
no one in Congress has arisen to
point out the fallacy of free trade
as iIlustrGte ted by the trade rela-
tions in the British Empire.
X X
There is some thought that fear
accounts for failure to bring out
these facts.
It is known that England trad
ed with Red China, even after
Korea started. Some feel there
is a possibility tinidity exists
about even starting an explOra-
ton of the subject, for fear it
will start a chain reaction lead
ing to disclosures that American
taxpayers paid for raw mater
ials from British dominions
which England fabricated into
materials used by the Reds in
Korea to kill American troops,
thus presenting U. S. public with
the major shock of the century.

done. They have made a noun
tain out of an ant hill, have
sown the Mccarthy myth to the
four winds where all the world
could see it and misjudge the
rest of our people. McCarthyism
is an utter misnomer as it is COM
monty used by the liberals of
this country. 1t should be entire
ly disassociated from Congress
sional investigations and applied
to the only person it will fit
Sen. Mccarthy. There is only one
Sen. Joe Mccarthy from Wiscon-
sin, but there are millions of
good Americans who deplore
smear and character assasina-
ton quite as much as the astute
Sen. Lehman and the rest of his
doubtfully-loyal East European
colleagues.
By good Americans" we
mean anyone who places loyalty
to this country over loyalty to
any other, whether he be Jew or
Gentle, Roman Catholic or Hard
Shelled Baptist, and irrespective
of whether he be a native-born
citizen or a citizen by the Grace
of God and Uncle Sam.
In discussing the poor loyalty
showing made by the Khazar
Jews since coming to this coun-
try, we hasten to make a dis
tinction between them and the
real, Semitic Palestine Jews in
whose veins the blood of Abra-
ham and Isaac flows and whose
record of loyalty to this country,
as far as we know, has always
been excellent.
The Khazar Jew is not of Sem
itic stock. He is a proselyte, a
convert, and thus is Jew in re-
ligion only. Most or all of the
Khazar Jews are of the same
stock as the other East Euro
peans who have come to this
country since the immigration
gates were down-Poles, Russ
ians, Lithuanians, and others. 1t
is unfortunate that we must de-
plore their loyalty record, and
more unfortunate still that they
have been allowed to come here
in the first place. But the truth,
though sometimes harsh, needs
to be spoken, even at the risk
of being accused of religious and
racial bigotry. To such accusers
we, or any loyal American need
only reply, "Show us your loyal
ty, whatever your race or creed,
and we'll show you our friend
ship. But we reject traitors,
whatever their color, religion or
circumstance"
This is a simple proposition,
but one which the pseudo-liberal
agitators such as the Senator
from New York find it conven-
lent not to understand.

LET NOT THE HOUSELESS..
(Mooresville Tribune)

Every left-winger is adept in
catch phrases. One standard ex-
ample is the cry that "human
rights" must be superior to prop
erty rights"
This appeal to the unthinking
evades the fact that the right to
own property is one of the most
basic and important of the human
rights. That idea was powerfully
expressed by Abraham Lincoln, as
great humanitarian as ever lived,
in these words: property is the
fruit of labor; property is des-
irable; it is a positive good in the
vor,d. That some should be rich
