: KISSING STABILITY GOOD-BY

The Saturday Evening Post recently ran
full-page editorial entitled 'We Can Stop
Initiation If We Have the Courage to Try"
In the course of its discussion, it said this ::
q . imitation is inevitable unless there is
patience and restraint on the part of the
public. If every slight increase in prices is
to mean a strike-enforced demand for higher
wages, we might as well kiss stability good
by"
In substantiation, it quotes striking
statement made by L. Robert Driver, lead
ing statistian and tax expert. Says Mr.. Dri-
yer: "If the pay of all employed persons in
the United States has been raised by forty
cents an hour, as the pay of the steelworkers
was raised, the costs of goods and services
in the country would rise by $45,800,O00,0O0
year, or $270 for every one of our ITO mil
lion people," To quote the Post again, "Leav-
ing out the effect on our precarious competi-
tive position vis-a-vis foreign producers, even
fiscal ignoramus can see the effect of such
an addition to our already top-heavy costs on
the value of the dollar
The number of dollars that labor or any
other group gets is not the big thing. What
really counts is what those dollars will buy.
And the surest way to further degrade the
dollars buying power is through wage in
creases not accompanied by increases in pro-
ductivity.

PROSPEROUS TIMES AHEAD

Government financial and economic ex-
perts in Washington believe that the danger
of another infationary spiral is lessening
steadily. One official was recently quoted as
saying that if the federal government keeps
its budget in shape, the 1861 infationary
spiral might well prove to have been the last.
This is an optimistic forecast, concerning
initiation, and one which we hope is correct.
Moreover, many government officials are now
saying that they do not see a period of adj
Justment, or recession, in 1860.
A prominent economic expert in Wash
ington even predicted in recent days that
good business would prevail throughout the
United States at least through 1861, with
out any recession. These are encouraging
words, and we hope that the no-recession
prediction proves to be an accurate one also.
The United States cannot continue to ex-
perience infatiOnary spirals and successfully
compete with the economic challenge of COM
munism Our economy in the United States
has not been expanding, percentage-wise, as
fast as the Soviet economy and this is a
cause for concern.
1t is also a reason for examining our
tax structure concerning business and busi-
ness expanSiOn-and certainly no new buSi-
ness taxes should be invoked unless we come
to point of major emergency where our
security is involved If, indeed, initiation has
been checked, and there will be no appreci-
able infationary spiral this year or next
year, and if prosperity continues throughout
this year and 1861, the United States will
have achieved a start in the crucial effort to
prove the superiority of the free enterprise
system against communism.

HOW TO PENALIZE EFFICIENCY
The so-called flair trade" laws-which
make it legally obligatory for retailers ev-
erywhere to sell branded articles as an iden-
tical established by the manufacture
ers-have been a subject of controversy for
years. Some states have passed on them,
and in a number of cases they have subse-
quently been repealed or been thrown out by
courts.
Now it is proposed that federal ''fair
trade" law go on the books
The manufacturer would fix the retail
price high enough to give even the inefficient
retailer pleasing margin of profit
The inefficient retailer would be insu-
lated against the natural consequences of his
inefficiency, with the public paying the BILL
The efficient retailer would be prevented
by law from cashing in on his merchandising
skills.
A number of things that will happen if
a federal "fair trade" law is passed. There
will be another squirt in the cost of living
The free, competitive enterprise system will
take serious setback. And demands for
government price-fixing for all industries
will become increasingly insistent and ap-
pealing.
Here is one of the roads leading to a
managed" economy, based solidly on the
all-powerful state principle.

DON'T BUY SIGHT UNSEEN
In closing, let me say a word to
those who are looking for winter
homes or for all-year-round homes
in the South or in California and
the Southwest Statesmen with
maps and photographs should be
treated courte0usIy, but one should
never buy a summer place or a win
ter home without first visiting the
property. This is important in or
der to acquaint ones self not only
with the land, elevation, ETC., but
also with the Reighbors. Increases
in property values depend largely
upon the neighbors.
1t. is also although not es-
sential-to get within reasonable
distance of a community with
churches, schools, fine apartments,
library facilities, and stores. ! as
sumo that every reader desiring a
summer or winter home has an au-
tomobile; but in addition, it is a
good idea to be fairly near a bus
route. If one bomb should be drop
ped accidentally on Russian or
American city by some psychotic
aviator, it would be almost impos-
sible for the average citizen not
employed in defense work to get
any gasoline. NThe government will
see that all living people get neces-
sary, even If scantily rationed, food,
but their provision will not in
clude gasoline.

Turco-IsroeI Trode

private firms mainly to negotiate
purchases.
This years volume of trade be-
tween the two countries reoprtedly
reached a record figure of $24, ,000,-
600, of which half are Israeli ex-
ports, leaving an even trade bal
ance. Israel exported to Turkey

significant role. No history of any
other nation began on foreign soil
and no nation could coin the birth
of its peoplehood in enslavement.
For this reason the Sceptics tried
to nullify the Biblical account OF
IsraeIs emergence in Egyptian
bondage.
SUCH EXTREME and baSeleSS
scepticism was recently revived in
Soviet anti-Religious circles, that
the Israelites never were in Egypt,
and that, in consequence, there
could not have been an oppression
or an exodus. 1t is interesting tnat
in the history of Ancient Egypt
references are made to the He
brews who slaV e d, but the
Egyptian records pass it the
exodus in total silence.
Those who are acquainted with
Egyptiology will know that it was
their invariable custom to keep
silent in connection with any de-
feat suffered by the ruler or ma
ton. The Egyptian records con-
fine themselves to the boastful re-
counting of victories. The Biblical
writer's, alone among all Oriental
chroniclers, describe defeats OF
their kings and armies. This is one
of the reasons why of all Oriental
chronicles, it is only the Biblical
annals that deserve the name OF
history.
ONE OF THE conclusive an
swers to the doubts as to the
authenticity of the Exodus and
other crucial events in scriptural
history is what has aptly been
called the Inconvenience" of
biblical traditions. 1t is unthinkable
that any nation, unless forced to
do so by the overwhelming COM
pulsion of unforgettable fact, would
of it's own account have wantonly
affixed to its forefathers the stain
