trimming expenses, what better
yardstick could the President use
in separating the wheat from the
chaff, than the Constitution? That
document was intended as linSi-
tation imposed upon Government
TO keep it from usurping the God
given rights Of the people. 1t was
to have been the literal contract
between the people and their Gov
ernment, and was to have served
as the basic law of the nation.
When ,he Federal Government
does anything not specified in the
Constitution, then according to Ar
ticle 10 of the Bill of Rights. Gov
ernment has taken over rights that
were reserved for the people
Although the Defense Depart
ment is far from being the lone Of
fender in usurping the rights of
American citizens, the extent and
scope of its unauthorized functions
makes it an excellent place to start
welding the cost-cutter's knife.

No ambiguity in those words. No
Interpretation necessary. The "du-
ties of said office shall devolve
on the Vice President" How
promptly; how obediently these
Constitutional instructions are fol-
lowed.
But. some will say, "there is
no time in such an emergency to
do things differently. We must
read the literal meaning of the
Constitution. Come nowl Couldn't
the Vice President simply fill in
as de facto President while the
Congress mulls over calling a spe-
cial election? After all, the Vice
President may be known to have a
philosophy differing somewhat
from that of the late President -
and it may not exactly be in the
general welfare" to let such a
man take the helm of the ship of
state.
Prcposterous? OF course it is.
Especially to those who are con-
vinced that, if any part or parts
of the Constitution serve the needs
of the nation in their literal langu-
+ age, then the entire Constitution
should be taken literally.
Furthermore, the same clear,
concise language that provides for
the continuity of the Presidential
office is to be found throughout the
Constitution from beginning to
end Yet the Federal Government
is constantly engaged today in ac-
tivities that have no pretense of
Constitutional authority. Govern
ment to government foreign aid is
one example. Public power is
another. A mile-long list could be
made showing federal intrusions
into areas forbidden by the Con-
stitution = areas made clear by
language that delineates certain
powers and responsibilities to the
Federal Government and leaves all
others to the States and people
1t is time for all of us to cultivate
anew the concept of the Govern
ment as the navigator of the ship
of state, rather than as a captain
barking orders. And let the points
of its compass be the steady, true

Compass For Stormy Seas

A lightning bolt from the blue.
One Presidents term came to an
abrupt end and another's began.
Now we find that the impact of
the unexpected change is still felt,
although we are aware of a GER
tain sense of Well-being as the ma
chinery of government moves along
as though nothing had happened to
upset its continuity.
The United States is the oldest
nation in the world to provide for
such continuity when fate steps
in and brings a chief executives
term to an untimely end. 1t is one
of the provisions wisely made by
the nations founders and contained
in the U S Constitution.
AT the very instant the Presi-
dent expired, the Vice President
became our new President; and the
oath of office was administered
soon afterward.
We reiterate-this wonderful
continuity of government that
guards against the nation ever be-
ing without a President, is an in
tegral feature of our Constitution
which was ratified in 1789-nearIy
two centuries ago!
This should make one ponder
on the statements that come time
and again, from various sources,
that the Constitution is outmoded
and outdated. Oh, but how Won
derfully its words were there to
answer the shocked and beWilder-
ed cry, Our President is dead.

With this as the yardstick, we
can answer any question. For eX-
ample, any person can shout fire"
on his own premises; but not in
any theatre, if that is against the
rules laid down by the theatre
owner.

And all companies and cOnsum-
ers should have the right to OK

checks in whatever way they vol
unfairly choose 10 do. At the same
time, no one has the right to in

Antitrust laws, zoning laws, Ii
censing laws. regulation of business.
income taxes and other restrictions
are all invasions of the freedom of
each to control his own property.
It is the height of hypocrisy to
attempt to picture them as Gle
ments of freedom when they are
just the opposite. Our progress to-
ward greater freedom requires that
these laws be repealed. In their
place, we must help each man to
develop the capacity for self-gov-
ernment - the ability to govern
his own affairs.
Toward Freedom
To promote justice. prosperity
and human respect, we should be
aiming toward more freedom, more
control over ones own property
rather than passing new laws de-
signed to lessen mans self-control.
Keep this meaningful yardstick
in mind whenever new ways are
proposed ito promote the general
welfare Ask yourself whether
freedom will be increased or de-
creased. And remember:
Freedom is where each and

Presidents Cost Cutting"
Talk A Good Sturt

Our new president probably made
himself a lot more friends than
enemies among the taxpayers when
he advocated some much-needed
reductions in federal spending.
Not being military experts, we
won't try to pass on the wisdom
of cutting back en- any particular
phase of the Defense Departments
heretofore planned weapons sys-
tens. In 1850, Gen. Omar Bradley,
then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff stated that S13 billion
was adequate for national defense
In 1858 dollars, this would be S1473
billion. Adding another 50 percent
for the increased compleXity of
modern Weaponry, it would still
be only S22 billion. Yet today's de
fense budget approaches an astro-
nomical SAT billion.
The Constitution authorizes an
Army and Navy - in other words
an adequate defense structure
which, in modern times. includes
an Air Force and various types of
ballistie missiles. But what should
definitely be examined is the use
being made of the S25 billion dif-
ferential between Gen. Bradlcy's
estimate of an adequate defense
and what is currently being ap-
propriated.
The Presidents avoWed desire to
hold Federal expenditures to a
minimum is laudable in itself: and
it is rather refreshing to note that
he would pick the Defense De-
partment as a primary area for
closer scrutiny. The feeling all
along seems to have been that the
expenditures of other departments
might be trimmed a little - but
Defense, never! In fact, those who
have called for reduction of Fed
eral expenditures have been hit
hard by politicians who claim that
such a move would ruin our ma
tional defense.
What these politicians do not
know, or else wish to conceal from
the American people, is congress
sional investigating committee re-
port revealing the existence of
some 10000 businesses being con-
Quoted by the Defense Department
in direct competition with private,
taX-paying enterprise.
This vast civilian" complex. be-
ing subsidized by the taxpayers, is
estimated to cost the people nearly
S24 billion a year - approximately
half of the annual Defense Budg
ct That figures ties in very closely
with Gen. Bradley's estimate adj
justed for 1858 And al of this
fat has nothing to do with the
strictly military activities of re-
cruiting. training and equipping, in
which the Department should be
solely engaged.
This is the area which we should
like to see the President turn his
attention, for this area offers no
peril of unwise disarmament and
it is actually a violation of the U. S.
Constitution, in that the latter
makes no provosion whatever for
the Government to compete with
its citizens.

A Definition OF Freedom
BY Harry Browne
Editor, Freedom Magazine

Editor, Freedom Magazine
Authors continually attempt to
define the word freedom.
They create high-sounding phrases
to capture it's meaning; but soon
find they have to qualify their def
nitions when they descend from
the abstract to the practical. Then
they are forced to make all kinds
of exceptions and restrictions for
the lofty ideal they've just created
They become trapped by such
questions as Docs freedom Of
speech include the right to shout
fire in a crowded theatre?" Or
perhaps Does freedom mean letting
companies engage in 'cut-throat'
competition"
In the end, their concept of free
dom becomes nothing more than a
limited area in which we are free
to move as we desire-so long as
our desires conform with those of
the ruling authority.
True Meaning
Obviously, that isn't freedom.
But what is?
The answer is very simple II

Galambos when he said: Freedom
