Don't Forget to Look Under the Rug!

without jobs, without compensation. and, as
far as the subject went, of no further interest
The Bureau even admitted that 1.-The most

And once workers exhaust their benefit
rights, hundreds of thousands have this

they're no longer included in the total of

So unless you-and the Washington CORE

Must Use Intelligence
To Solve Our Problems

Editor, The Peoples Voice,
A few years ago, Technocrat maya
zine carried a headline which said,
only those nations which cannot find
a better way need to fear communism. "
The political situation which now exists
in Western Europe seems to confirm
this statement.
In countries where democracy is
working as in Britain, Switzerland and
the Scandinavian countries their Com
munist parties are small and becoming
smaller, but in France and Italy where
democratic processes are not working
well, the Communist parties are strong
and growing stronger.
America, surely, should be among
the countries able to solve it's prob
lens by democratic processes. We have
widespread educational advantages.
These should enable us to solve our
problems in rational manner.
But the hard facts are that we have
allowed our domestic problems to bunch
UP on US Many of our politicians have
been spending most of their time de-
nouncing the Russians. and the Com

UNEMPLOYMENT MAY Reach
7,000,O 600 BY next Year

Close to 100000 persons may be
unemployed or under-employed if
business in the U. S. is no better in
the first quarter of 1856 than it was
in the first quarter of this year. This
is the conclusion reached in the first
study by the Conference of Economic
Progress, newly-formed non-profit,
non-political group engaged solely
in economic research and education.
To get the country back intoufull pro-
dUction and full employment, the an
nual rate of total output must be
raised by thirty-nine billion dollars
by early next year, the Conference
declares. It's report recommends these
steps to increase purchasing power
and stimulate production and employ
ment:
A four and half billion dollar
reduction in taxes now imposed on
lower-income consumers.
A three billion dollar increase
in government spending
Wage increases and higher
minimum wage. -..r

munists instead of telling US what they
propose. to do about domestic ques-
tions.
Probably no nation ever'faced graver
social and economic problems than ours
does today. Since the beginning of
World War | we've undergone a COM
plete change in agricultural and in
dustrial methods and in our ways of
living. These changes have produced
whole flock of problems, all the way
from the community level up to in
ternational trade.
If we are to solve our problems by
democratic methods, we have got to
get on the job and make use of them.
For example, here in Montana, it is a
serious problem as to how we are
going to finance our schools and high
ways. our candidates for Legislature
should be able to give us an outline,
as to how and where they expect to
get the money.
On the national scene our candidates
should be required to present, in some
detail, plans on how they expect to
deal with the problems of the farmers,
unemployment and above all, the
problem of monopoly. Are they willing
to allow a, few big companies to con-
tinue to fix prices and hold up the
whole people? How do they propose
to stop it?
In order to use democracy, we must
exercise intelligence. The ordinary
man must know about the existence
of those problems.

Ministerial Group Holds Its
Final Meeting OF The Season

Members Of the Key West Min

morning at the library in the Navy
Yard. This was their final meeting
for the summer months. The Rev.
erend Eldon Simmons, pastor Of
Ley Memorial Methodist Church
and president Of the ministerial
group, conducted the meeting.
Reverend Simmons introduced
Bill Glib, member Of the adver-
Using staff Of The Key West Citi-
zen, to the church leaders. Glib
attended the meeting to quarry min
listers concerning their reaction to
a new religious page The Citizen
expects to develop this summer.
New Feature Planned
The new feature, designed. to at
tract the attention Of non-church-
goers is q novel departure from
the usual church news and men,
bers Of the ministerial group ap-
proved it, wholeheartedly. Glib,
who at one time edited The Citi-
zen's church page, told the min
listers that they needed to get q
little more action into their church
news. f'<
IA few people might read Sat-
uraday's preview Of Sundays ser
mon," Glib said, "but the aver
age reader wants something that
is of a more personal nature. The
Citizen would like to receive more
copy concerning the activities OF
individual church members. This
is a task which could be turned
into a pleasant hobby by those lay
men who are interested in church
work"

In q joking reference to Gibbs
column which usually devotes itself
to religious matters on Saturday,
the ministers said: "While we Of
ten don't agree with you, we read
the column in order to be able
to disagree"
Glib laughed. "I'm not an expert
on religion and The Rock merely
attempts to creste public discuss
ion and thought in the direction Of
spiritual subjects. My philosophy
is that there is no such thing as

a few hard feelings!"
