OVERRIDE Routes
Will Change Air
Fare Structures

MONTREAL, Up A committee
of traffic experts advised the
worlds airlines today to Start
worrying over what over-the-pole
air routes will do to airplane fare
structures.
The traffic committee of the In
ternational Air Transport Associ-
alton QATA pointed out that with
introduction Of new routings for
international air service, the old
traditional air routes between var
ious centers no longer may have
paramount Importance.
cit will become necessary to
give careful consideration to re-
orientation of the fare structure
Of some of the routes" the COM
mittee said in a report to the
IATA annual assembly.
The new over the-po1e route
from Europe to the west coast of
North America is slated to be
shorter than the old traditional
route and as such should set the
governing fares.
Even this innovation appears to
be outmoded because it has been
publicly stated that at least one
type of aircraft to be operated
within a few years will in fact
reduce the operating distance
even more than the presently
planned polar route.
The committee also told IATA
it must make up its mind soon
| as to whether member airlines
may carry both first class and
tourist passengers in the same
airplane.
Another problem facing the air.
lines is that of absorbing hotel
accommodation costs and other
passenger expenses at connecting
and stop-over points.
The practice is opposed by some
airlines as inconsistent with the
policy Of providing transportation
for the masses rather than the
few.

ing the cold war, 1t is difficult
to find responsibilities equal to
their rank.
These promotions are some-
times excessive, but the big
geSt reason for them is the
failure of Congress to give
better salaries to the military.
They also suffer a double pay
cut when their fringe bene-
fits are clipped. Often, to keep
able men, a promotion Is the
only way out. More pay and
fewer promotions would be
very popular in many quar-
tiers.
1t could be that one reason
for Army reluctance to give
up the Frankfort setup is fear
of NATO weakness, especially
with respect to France and
Italy. Should it become neces-
sary to rely more and more
on Germany and less on the
wartime partners, the move
toward military installations
here will accelerate.
Meantime, Frankfort seems
presently, even to the friendly
critic, something Of a dead
end, an opinion shared by
some able correspondents per-
manently assigned to the area.

cure.)
By Senotor Barry GoIdwoter
During the course of many
discussions with men from all
ranks of our economic army,
I have been alarmingly i'm
pressed with the number of
rather foreboding and dark
forecasts that have devel-
oped; men who readily admit
that their own business is
good, but that the rest of the
economy is shaky, that it is
approaching a precipice of
doom.
These forecasts, with their
gloomineSs, come, mind you,
in the bright sunlight of full
employment, of the highest
gross national product in our
history, of the highest personal
income in our history, and of
very good business generally.
I suggest that, instead Of
these businessmen peering into
the clear, crystal ball of Amer
lean initiative and free enter
prise, they may be gazing into
the blackneSS of the eight ball
of weakness that the 20 years
Of Government harassment of
our economic system has en-
gendered.
Let's look at their number
one reason for gloom, the ces-
sation of hostilities in Korea.
There are many who say we
cannot survive a let-down in
defense spending. There are
many others who listen and
too many of those who pay at
tention. Let's see what really
has happened. National Sc
curity expenditures for the
fiscal year Of 1852 totaled
$49.2 billion, which accounted
for IA per cent Of the gross
national product of $346.3
billion.
In other words, If nothing
had been spent for national
defense, no planes, no bullets,
no supplies of any kind pur-
chased, we would have re-
moved IA per cent of our gross
national product.
If, in the fiscal year in which
we are now, our plans did not
encompass spending for secu-
rity, the percentage removed
thereby from our gross ma

administration removed them.
Administrative orders and reg.
ulationS further hamstringing
the business world are being
slowly recalled, so that more
and more the American buSi-
nessman is being placed on his
own two feet, loosened from
the apron strings of Grand
mother Federal, and it is in
this situation that he will best
operate for the good of all the
American people. But it takes
courage, and the businessman
Of this Nation must display it
boldly. This is no time to be
talking loosely of coming
chaos, when no basis exists
for that attitude.
This is a time when our
economy, growing nightly as
1t did even under the restraints
imposed by government, can
grow even faster and stronger
than it ever has. There are
new millions in our country
and there are more coming.
There is the never-ending de-
sire, on the part of every
American, for a better way Of
life, and these desires must be
met. There is the ever-present
opportunity for those who will
work, and work hard, in this
free system of ours, to advance
to the pinnacles of success
they themselves choose.
There is a great and Won
derful future for this country,
but there remains one basic
thing that government must
do to insure this future, and
that is to, balance the Federal
budget, so that taxes that re-
main a deterrent to the econ
omy and to the individual can
be lessened and even removed
in many areas. That is q
constant duty Of the Federal
Government, and this admin
istration must accept the task
of accomplishing it and attack
it with full vigor.
Reduced taxes stemming
from lessened governmental
expenditures and from a bal
anced budget will mean more
reward to the American labor.
q ing man and businessman from
the fruits of their efforts un-
der our free enterprise system,
so we find a great and clear
call for American courage. The
businessman must display it
in relation to the economy in
which he works, and the men
OF government must display it
in their approach to the cut
ting of expenses and the bal
ancing of the budget.

tional product would be even
less, but we aren't going to do
that. This years appropria-
tions for these items are sub
stantially the same as they
were last year. That American
business can expect a gradual
reduction in these fields is
certain, if international ten
sionS ease to the extent that
lessened attention to defense is
j.. warranted. I cite these figures
to show the relative part that
the total defense figures play
in our overall economy, so
that those who fear that an
end to the shooting war will
bring disaster may gain cour-
age.
Another far more important
point, though, is brought to
light by an inspection of these
figures. In 1852 we spent, as
I have said. $49.2 billion for
defense, and in 1912 we spent
$49.6 billion for the same pur-
pose. Both years found us at
war and spending almost an
identical amount of money in
the pursuit of those wars, yet
in 1942 that figure was 81 per
cent of the gross national
product, and in 1852, 10 years
later, it was but IA per cent
of this figure.
This vast expansion and
forward growth came during a
time when business was him
dered more than helped by
government. Controls were in
effect. Regulation upon regu-
lation hampered the move
ments of business. Govern
ment intervention was on every
side, but in spite of this the
economy of this country grew
and grew. This is a splendid
commentary on the courage
and resourcefulnesS of the
American businessman, a cour-
age that he now needs to dis
play more than at any time
in our history. for now, under
an administration that recog-
nizes governments proper
place in the scheme of our liv-
ing and working we find a
gradual removal of the throt-
ting effect of government from
our daily lives.
This administration early
recognized that almost without
exception every country Suf-
fering a runaway imitation in
recent years has had rigorous
laws on its books, providing
for direct controls over prices,
wages and materials, and this

tect the farmer from undue"
disaster, although he has since
been backing away from that
pronouncement-as he did
again at this Wisconsin meet
ing. But the farmers dis
gruntlement goes beyond per-
sonalitieS. Farmers are deeply
disturbed by conditions they
consider wholly unfair to
themselves. This is usually
summarized by the ever higher
prices they pay for what they
buy and the ever lower prices
they receive for what they sell.

depression, like those that pre-
ceded it, began on the farms.

is acute. It is prepared at the

The most fascinating news
item Of the week appeared in
Sundays New York Times.
Perhaps you didn't see it. It
was part of a dispatch from
Augusta, Wis, reporting the
speech Of Ezra Taft Benson,
Secretary of Agriculture, at the
annual national plowing con-
test. Said the Times CORE
Spondent::
as ON e W hat extraordinary
precautions for an occasion of
this kind were taken.
"A snow fence had been
erected in a perimeter about
IS feet from the speakers plat
form, and shortly before Mr..
Benson was to speak an addi-
tional barrier of barbed wire
and steel posts was put up Is
feet outside the first fence.
Uniformed State police pa
trolled the 10-foot-wide no
mans land between the fences.
"The police and other Off
cials declined to comment on
the reason for the two fences.
THE throng greeted Mr..
Benson with brief and subdued
applause. There was none dur
ing the half-hour address and
only light applause at the
close"
Now this item, while signifi-
cant Of something, cannot be
as ominous as it sounds. The
fences may have been intended
to protect Mr.. Benson from
undue disaster" to use a
phrase Of his own, one he
doubtless is sorry he ever ut
tered. But the managers Of
the big outdoor gathering
could not have anticipated any
attempt at violence. AS dis
gruntled as the American
farmer appears to be, he hasn't
yet reached the state Of mind
that was his toward the end of
the Hoover era. He isn't over
turning milk trucks on the
highway. He isn't carrying
his gopher gun to farm fore
closure sales. The worst that
could have been feared was
that some playful mechanical
farmer might try to plow the
speakers stand under.
Yet there is significance in
the reception given the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture. It doesn't
relate. entirely to his own
doubtful popularity. The farm
ers, it is true, haven't quite
forgiven his early statement
that price supports should be

The Presidents Boston Speech
White House Held in Urgent Need Of New Ghost
Or q Course on Subject of ProcticoI Politics
Dovid Lawrence

Woodrow Wilson used to say
that there were two kinds of
public speeches that a Presi-
dent could deliver-the ex-
plicit and the implicit. He pre-
ferred the latter. Evidently
President Eisenhower agrees.
For the address he gave at
Boston. standing by itself,
means less than what will be
read into it.
AS a political speech, it was
probably ineffective. AS an
essay on politics, it contains a
truth and a sincerity of ex-
preston and purpose which,
coming from so earnest and
devoted a public servant as
Dwight Eisenhower, will carry
more weight with the public
than the same platitudeS ut
tered by some one else.
The address Is q curious one.
Nothing quite like it can be
recalled by this correspondent.
There have been many speeches
which were over the heads of
listeners, but there have not
been many that didn't concen-
trate on a few simple points
and make those points clear.
Mr.. Eisenhower was herald
ed as having begun an inSpira-
tional campaign to help build
the prestige Of the Republi-
can Party and to aid the mem
bers Of Congress in their 1854
campaign. Students of politi-
cal science and political his
tory may regard it as suffi-
GENTLY academic, but this is
not the kind of speech that
begetS votes or gives the party
worker the stimulus to jealous
activity.
in brief, Mr.. Eisenhower's
speech shows the effects of a
desperate effort to cover too
many precepts and to fashion
them into something that can
be called Republican Party
principle. But in doing this,
