Socialist Intellectuals Undermine Freedom

THE great questions which. confronted
the American people when 1854 began
had not been answered when 1854 ended
Had they been it would have amounted to
miracle Of unprecedented proportions
For they involve, in the international
sphere, bitter and acknowledgement
conflicts which have been growing ana
deepening for more than generation Ana
here ut home on the domestic front, the
American people certainly have not made
clear their answer to the greatest question
Of all-what kind Of government they
wAnt
There were achievements during the
year-notable achievements When the
shooting war ended in Korea, and it became
possible 70 sharply decrease war spending.
there were those who feared that depres-
sion or 1T least a severe recession was IN
eyitable They believed that our economy
was so netxrieably tied to war that the
transition to even an uneasy peace would be
long and painful That was not the case
II has been pointed out thai never IN MS
tory did great nation proceed with such
a transition in so orderly fashion
Industry demonstrated its faith IN tins
nation strength and potential by con
tinuing and ever increasing expansion pro-
gram of almost unbelievable scope and
cost. The declining purchasing power OF
the. dollar was checked-the direct result
of curbs on federal spending. As the year
ended. production and consumption were
running at enormous levels, and the EN-
pioyment figures reflected that fact
What then-barring another world war
have we got TO worry about?
The answer IL simple. For some 80
wears millions Of Americans became con
ditoned to having government provide
more and more Of the services that peo-
ple must provide for themselves II a Tree
system is TO be preserved. They became
conditioned to the idea of welfare state,
And apparently. they regarded a little
Socialism" Az a good thing.
Obvious consequences Of this are found
in our national debt and our tax struc-
turt. nothing il more expensive than so
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1955-01-04

THE total Federal Government debt is
now estimated al s27l.3 billion dollars,
az Of the end Of fiscal year 1854. This in
formation X contained in the latest Tax
Foundation report, which also shows the
average American pays S42.l8 each year
interest due on the national debt alone.
The total interest being paid back
each year by the Federal Government
amounts To So billion doIlars-a stagger-
ing figure for interest alone In other
words, Of the total tax receipts received
bv the Federal Government in fiscal 1904
ESTIMATED to be nearly sixty-flve billion
dollars). the cost Of interest payments on
the huQc pational debt required an expen-
diture Of ten per cent Of that amount
Moreover, were our interest rates only
one on two billion dollars, or possibly even
three billion dollars, the Administration
would have been able TO balance the budget
in recent years.
Reports from Washington indicate that
the fiscal 1856 may gee the budget closer
