THE AVA AND THE LEGION

In the running fight between the American Medical
Association and the American Legion hospital for
veterans think the ANA the side of the general
(and that includes the veterans) welfare.
The ANA, like the rest of u.s. wants the government
to provide the best in medical and hospital for
who have incurred illness disability result of military
service But argues the ANA the government does not
hav n obligation to provide free hospital veterans
Whose ailments not serviceconnected.
For this fair and reasonable stand the ANA has now
been blasted by the American Legion making "a

reference to class may reflect what wrong with the
Legion's thinking this matter
Veterans not really class. They are American

Public Enemy Number One

uuhC Enemy NUMBER One
In the course of his Second
Annual Message to Congress in
1896, Grover Cleveland said.
When more of the peoples sus-
tenance is exacted through the
form of taxation than is neces-
sary to meet the just obligations
of the Government and expenses
Of its. economic administration
such action becomes ruthless ex-
tortion and a violation of the
fundamental principles Of Free
Government"
In this present emergency
when America faces the neces-
sity of spending many billions
of dollars to keep its powder
dry, it is safe to state that were
Cleveland alive today, he would
demand that the whole attitude
OF government toward business
be changed. The Eisenhower ad-
mlnlstration has made several
constructive moves to bring this
about, IN the realization that in
dustry must be encouraged to
produce to the maximum. thus
increasing national income
which can be taxed to raise part
of the money needed for Uncle
Sans preparedness program.
Early in the 18th Century.
Jonathan Swift. the eminent
Irish satirist, wrote in his 'Voy-
age to Brobdingnag":: whoever
could make two ears of corn. or
two blades of grass to grow
upon spot of ground where
only one grew before, would
deserve more of mankind, and
do more essential service to his
country than the whole race of
politicians put together"
If Swift, who died in I745,
were able to speak from beyond
the grave, his advice to America
undoubtedly would be to once
again encourage Individual
thrift and initiative and to see
to it that achievement gest a re-
ward commensurate with service
rendered.

Honest toll is no disgrace. But

We can neither maintain our

Hence something approximat-
ing a condition of artificial
stability is accepted as likely
for several years.
Whenever an economic equi-
libriun is reached for any
reason. the forces of modern
business tend to adjust to an
ensuing period of steadiness
even in the face of ever
present factors of uncertainty
which can suddenly alter such
a course.
If it isn't the international
situation which can upset the
apple cart. it could be the
tinkering with the domestic
situation by political influ-
enceS
Some of the present stabil-
ity. for example, has been
achieved by a reduction in
taxes and the dissemination
of added purchasing power to
the public as a whole. If.
however. the spenders in Con-
gress dominate the new coali-
ton of ''left-wing" Republicans
and cleft wing" Democrats
who are expected to rule the
coming session. 1t is possible
that a new cycle of imitation
will be introduced.
The Eisenhower administra-
tion's fiscal policies have been
conservative to date, and to a
large extent the confidence
that prevails in the business
world is due to a belief that
a steady hand is at the helm.
But it remains to be seen
whether the Democrats who
already are talking about new
excess-profits taxes and in
creased exemptions from taxes
in the lower income brackets
will disturb that confidence.

Congress. This year, however,
he has announced he is for a
raise and Congress almost Ger
tainly will pass the required

There is some hope that
Congress will consider all the
pay-raise plans together so as
to avoid inequitieS.
Not much of this is calcu-
lated to bring happy thoughts

Unfortunately the defeat of

Some of the better known

The judiciary also can make
out a strong case for both SAL

made its final decision.
The sSaar agreement was
forced on Chancellor Ade-
nauer by Mendes-France dur
ing last falls London Confer
ence as a price for near-sov-
ereignty and rearmament for
the West German republic.
The Bonn Parliament received
it with ill-humor and Chan
cellor Adenauer tried in vain
to negotiate with his French
colleagues for certain "clari-
flcations." The Frenchman
would not see him or his repre-
sentatives. And this for a good
reason. The Germans were
willing to accept the Saar So
luton when it was first pro-
posed under the EDO as a
step toward a possible future
confederation of Western Eu-
rope.
Under the EDO, the Saar
was to be politically neither
French nor German; it was
to be European: it was to be
European with free access by
all to its vast coal and steel
resources. The rejection of the
EDO by the French Parliament
last summer ended this posi-
ton of the former German
province. .....
The new agreements have
no provision whatever for the

eyes of the German politicians.

the Assembly on December "a
means only that the German

ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 81
Alexis Kyrou, director general OF
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and for nearly five years chief
Greek delegate to the United
Nations, has been relieved OF his
duties at his own request.
The move came as an after

There had been rumors of a

centered on a cable sent by Mr..

saying the Greek government
had been advised the United
