Conodo's Fiscal Optimism

The Canadian Government Is leading
from confident estimate Of the countrys
economic prospects in recommending a
broad program of tax reductions for the new
fiscal year For although preliminary cal
culations for the IL months to end next
March 80 indicate modest deficit-$160
million-if the proposed lower tax rates are
adopted, the government foresees steady
and substantial upward spiral Of national
prosperity as justification for lowering the
tax burden. Briefly, the tax changes would
cut individual income levies by an average
tax rates and would lower or cancel some
Of the present excise taxes.
Basis for the Canadian optimism Is
projection of the gross national product
the value of all goods and services. After
slumping very slightly last year from Its
record high of 1858, this measurement OF
national prosperity is expected to reach
new peak of $26 billion in fiscal 1856, an
increase of more than per cent. Actually,
Canada's slump last year was caused largely
by wheat crop failure that resulted from
unusual weather conditions not expected to
prevail this year. In addition, certain trade
readjustments-with the United States and
abroad-hurt the Canadian situation tenn
porarily but are believed under correction
now.
Broadly speaking, Canada is benefting
from two important economic developments.
One is the discovery and utilization Of great
natural oil and mineral resources. Another
Is an Naturalization that has made great
strides In the postwar years. Capital from
the United States has aided Importantly in

channels with appeals. He wrote to his
Congressman. His running feud with
Jefferson Davis was thing to behold.
Yet Beauregard's star which rose at
Manassas cleaned brightly through his
leadership at Shiloh, his successful de-
tense of Charleston from attack by the
sea, his accurate predictions in the de-
lenses of Petersburg and Richmond.
It was dimmed by the very paradox
of the man. A Southerner, imperious
and proud, he was also a Creole almost
alien to the Anglo-Saxon Confederacy.
The star even glittered-at least A.
nancially and socially-through the
Souths reconstruction period when the
popular conception of defeated gen.
eral put him in clean, but threadbare
responsibility.
Beauregard headed what now would
have been virtual railroad dynasty
and then, with Jubal Early as his lieu
tenant. presided over the drawings OF
the notorious Louisiana lottery.
As adjutant general of Louisiana
later, he became concerned with the
accuracy and range of then-modern
rifles, an devon went SO far as to pro-
pose that, as safety measure. future
battles should be fought at night Then
he suggested uniform-black in front
facing the enemy, phosphorescent in
the back to protect troops from their
own fire.
For all his foibles, his petulance and
with all his courage and battle shrewd-
ness, he was still Beauregard at death
and the pomp of ceremony of the old
Confederacy turned out for him.
Beauregard designed the Confederate
battle fiag-red field crossed by dag
onal blue bars with white stars.
Professor Williams leaves little doubt
that one of the white stars is Beaure-
gard and little doubt that that is the
way Beauregard intended it.

UNEsco a Fiosco?

UNESCO q Fiosco?
Congratulations to The Star for some
timely reporting on April 6 and to
Julian E. Williams for his most cogent
letter, "Unsold on One-World Idea,"
which appeared April in The Star.
East and West appear to meet when
the Union of South Africa tells
UNESCO to go peddle it's "one-world
propaganda" elsewhere. 1t was amusing
to find notice of UNESCO's death in
South Africa reported on page C-6 of
an early edition Of The Star page c.
was the Obituary" page) on April 6.
Then, on April 7, Mr.. Williams writes,
e. it would be interesting to know
what the superintellectuals of UNESCO
are doing to educate the criminal
leaders of the Kremlin's international
Communist conspiracy for living in a
world community"
Hats off to the people of South Africa
and their Foreign Minister. E. N. Louw,
for the wise decision and prompt action.
They have shown us how to stop
UNESCO. Now. let's help all free ma
tions put an end to UNESCO'S one
world propaganda and put stop to
the Kremlin's 'fanatical international
conSpirators."
According to the Irving Solomon
"whitewash' report for UNESCO. the
Solomon delegation reported that: 1.-THE
delegates reaffirmed that the official
bodies and the personnel of UNESCO
observe the provisions of the UNESCO
constitution, which prohibits UNESCO
from interfering in matters within the
domestic jurisdiction of member states"
In light of Foreign Minister Louw's
report to the world of "UNESCO's
interference in South Africa's racial
policies" what possible alibi can Mr..
Solomon and his distinguished dele
gates offer to the American people and
the Secretary of State to whom the
"whitewash" report was made?

Annuitants Not Pensioners
The recent letter by Seymour Schulz
man entitled mo Sympathy for Pen
sioners," was so filled with misstate-
ments and untruths that feel impelled
to correct some of these errors.
In the first place, both the terms
charity and pension are misnomers.
What retired Government employees re-
ceive are annuities bought and paid for
during their years of service, just as
II they had been purchased from the
Ohio State Life Insurance Co. The
main difference is that the Government
is not trying to make millions off the
annuitants as do the big insurance COM
panies.
From each bimonthly pay check Of
each Government employee is deducted
an amount in payment on the annuity
to be received upon retirement. The
United States Government is obligated
to contribute its share toward the re-
tirement fund. So far it has failed to
do so. Up to now all retirees have been
paid from funds contributed by them
selves-So 1t has cost the Government
nothing to date OF course, they are
liable to contribute their share. and
just recently a bill was introduced in
the House asking that the United States
Government appropriate a sum to rem
der the retirement fund sound finan-
cially. So far this bill has not been
acted on.
Since Government employees are tax
payers. just as much as Mr.. Schulrnan
is. they not only pay monthly for their

The state of Ohio led all the

reported that there had been more
than 20 deaths in the nation, with
eight in Ohio as the day dedicated
to accident prevention came TO
close.
Locally and in the county, Off
cials reported only two minor acci-
dents, with no one injured despite

For the first nine months of
1855, Ohios traffic death toll now
stands at 1,407 an increase of five
per cent over the 1888 deaths in
the same period last year. If the
present upward trend continues,
traffic deaths in Ohio will total
1000 for 1855, says the depart
ment.
The report indicates that in

period in 1854; fatal accidents in

Fair Board Vote
Change Blocked

Ohio Legislature to elect the di-
rectors of the Union Co. Fair
Board by popular vote. The direc-
tors are now elected by vote of
the membership of the countys
agricultural society, as in Madison
County.

representative Clifton L. Caryl,
was supposedly designed to be the
first step in the uniting of the
three small fairs held in that area,
it was said.
A similar step for Madison Coun-

action would result should such
