ton. Many Democrats are
fighting for the maintenance
or artificially low rates.
Imitation is to no small ex-
tent a matter Of public con-
fidence. II interest rates are
held low for Government Sc
curities, while in the money
markets interest rates gener-
ally are rising, the danger is
that investors will turn from
Government securities to
other forms Of investment.
The infiationary spiral is
related, Of course, to many
other factors besides Gov
ernment spending and Treas
ury deficits. The cabinet
committee report says, for
instance:
wage settlements have
been made recently which
raised wages substantially;
wage agreements negotiated
in earlier years provide for
increases in rates this year;
and wage agreements to be
negotiated, this summer or
autumn in many industries
(steel, aluminium, other
metals. construction. rubber,
lumber, railroads. paper.
longshoring. meat packing,
and metal containers are
among them) could result in
wage increases Of such mag
nitude as to lead to price in
creaSes. -.
I'VE face a serious risk of
price increases which not
only would be directly harm
full to American families but
would seriously endanger the
healthy prosperity now de-
veloping."
The cabinet committee
doesn't propose any concrete
solutions but does point out
that excessive concentration
Of power in the hands Of
labor or business results in
practices which are contrary
to the public interest" and
that such practices reduce
efficiency and productivity,
and they create inflationary
pressures.
But what to do about
them? The cabinet commit
tee says it soon will examine
and later report on the ex-
tent to which such concen-
trations Of power in labor
and business contribute to
imitation or impede economic
progress.

Cabinet Report Points Out Dangers
In Making Bonds Equivalent to Money

comparatively small denom-
ination designed for family
savings, the equivalent Of
money. Government bonds
are the equivalent Of money
II they can always be changed
into actual money at virtually
face value, not only when
they are due and payable but
any time before.
This is the case II the
Treasury is forced to issue
only very short-term bonds.
or If the Federal Reserve
System stands ready to buy
at a pegged price all Govern
ment bonds offered to 1t in
advance Of the date when
they are due to be paid by
the Treasury. There is only
an imperceptible difference
between the Governments
issuing bonds that are equiv
alent to money, and the
Governments Just cranking
up the printing presses and
rolling out greenbackS. The
Government will be forced to
continue issuing large addi-
tional amounts Of short-term
bonds that are the near
equivalent Of money until
the Congress allows the
Treasury sufficient fiexibility
to achieve a balance in our
debt structure by inducing
people of their own free will
to invest their savings in
long-term Government bonds.
Thus, to avoid imitation 1t Is
essential that the present
limitation on the interest
rate on long-term Govern
ment bonds be removed, as
the administration has al
ready recommended.
The issue Is whether we
want price sta bility or
whether we want. in a con-
cealed way, to do the equiva-
lent of printing money

lie would not stand for If

This is the most outspoken
appraisal yet Of what deficit
spending can mean. 1t comes

is asking Congress to permit

be done.
There was a pause, and
Huey Long said:
Mr.. Ringing, have you

Mr.. Ringing had not.
well, Mr.. Ringing. that
law requires that every ami
NAL entering the State Of
Louisiana be dipped in a vat

a tiger, Mr.. Ringling?"
Mr.. Ringing said he would
call back. He talked with his
lawyers. They told him that
Kingfish Huey Long would
surely enforce the law, max
ing it necessary to dip all the
elephants, tigers, lions,
giraffes and hippos. The date
was cancelled at considerable
loss.
For years the punch line
was q classic, Have you ever
dipped a tiger?"
1t was, to be sure. a funny
story and people laughed
about it. But when you ex-

He was to use that power
as ruthlessly in many other
ways until. one night, a
young man, whose family
had been viciously slandered
and abused by Huey, shot
him down before Huey's
guards riddled the assassin.
But Huey was in character
all the way. II wonder why
he shot me?" he asked. just
before he lapsed into a coma
to await the coming Of the
old man with the scythe and

To Boost Louisiana Football Team

John Ringling, isn't it?'

The Senator stood there for
a moment, Red said. He then
sat down and picked UP the
phone. When the switchboard
answered he said. This is
Senator Long. Get me John

Heard said he was startled.
but the Senator talked on
about football until the phone
rang and the operator said
she had Mr.. Ringing.
Huey began to talk. Butter

mouth.
"Mr. Ringing" he said,
This is Huey Long. They
call me the Kingflsh Of Loui-
siana and I guess you are the
Kingfish Of the circus world"
Heard said the Senator
laughed heartily and he as
sumed Mr.. Ringing did, too.
But that was the last time.
Mr.. Ringing" said Huey,
we've got a mighty nice little
football team here at LSU
and they play a game Friday
night with Rice. Now your
circus plays here that night.
I'm going to ask you II you
won't transfer it to the next
night or the night before.

the Democratic liberals and
the Southern Democrats.
1t has never been easy this
session to tell just what side
these groups will take since
all the legislation so far has
been a compromise rather
than a clear-cut point Of
principle. Johnson has
proved adept at getting there
"fustest with the mostest"
but the temper Of the Sen
ate Democrats is hardening
as debate this week on the

To get their way. Republi-
cans need only employ a ju-
dicious amount of foot-drag-

can make it hard to get a
quorum for consideration on
the bills. They can work on
Midwest members in whose

siderably less than a burn

less obvious than the old

appear to be able to take the
initiative even in that area
in which this country has so
much at stake.

lapse. II nature were to take

But the chances of their be-
ing able to pull out are con-
siderably reduced because Of
the activities of the Latin
American Com m u nists,
strongly backed by Moscow.
AS things stand now, there
is a good chance, according
to intelligence sources in
Washington. that we may
find ourselves ringed with
Soviet submarine bases in
the Caribbean. Despite Fidel
Castro's protestations that he
is only an ardent lover Of
democracy and freedom, the
Communist elements influ-

Castro to make that island
republic neutralist.
Communist influence in

that in the event of a major

and Another begins. The def
icit is more than $l2 billion,
largely due to the economic
recession. It's a record for So
called peacetime. The coming
year, however. is expected to
see a balanced budget.
With armament expendi-
lures taking a bigger and
bigger proportion Of the ma
tional budget, due to the
"cold war" in a nuclear age,
1t is not surprising that a set
back on the economic front
runs into such big figures.
For the Governments chief
worry is the continuation OF
rising prices. 1t has to pay
each year more and more for
the same articles of warfare
that it bought in previous
years at lower prices.

being so widely discussed as
a danger to the American
economy. President Eisen-

the prominence OF some OF
the cabinet members in the

johnson can be expected

He can do this because Texas

Legislation has been passed

mary at which he will be a

In fact it is generally felt
the platform shaped there

indeed before the Senate

of many Democrats. is not
an adequate substitute for a

The abortive rebellions in

Thus the Soviet intrigues In
Latin America date back to
the late 20s when agents
infiltrated Central America
selling the blessings of COM
munism to the poems. Hear
ings Of the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee and

conclusively from the testi-
mony Of former agents who
became fed up with COM
munism after a while.

the Lenin school of subver-
sion and worked under direct
orders Of Stain, spelled out
the entire plan to the two
