Those who remember the era which followed World War II will note the same danger signals if they willi President Vice-President but look around them. Prices still are high. !The national income is the highest in histary. BuL‘ the rate of family savings is showing a decrease. Money | ‘ is becoming a little tighter. Interest rates, whmh‘ have been Loosted slightly in recent weeks, reflect the fact that more and more people are borrowing. | The Federal Reserve Board a few days ago an- nounced that 28 per cent of U. S. families have been _ spending more than their current incomes. Savings, which in 1946 were 12 per cent of consumer income dropped last year to 9 per cent. The 1948 figures, when the y're compiled, doubtless will show still further decreases. Initial payments in home financings have fallen orr mortgages have increased pmporuonately There is nothing serious in any of this. In fact, {most of it can be marked down as the first fallering steps toward a return toward the economic norm, danger lies, not in any easy backward movement, bulr !in the possibility that the slide may gain momentum— | may progress to a point where depression results. Home financing by mortgages is a healthy busi- | I ness—unles the ratio of loans becomes out of sensible | proportion to true values. This condition is easily | arrived at when realty prices are highly inflated, as ! they are today. The reduction in the rate of savings in itself need not spell disaster—unless the rate falls (much below 1947's 9 per cent. But both factors, plus cexmh\ others in the field of economics, do indicate | that unless wer're careful, trouble may lie ahead. | 1t is time for the householder to consider the pos- | sibility of a mild reecssion—and to guard against it with a sound backlog of' reserves. We should check expenditures more carefully; should be willing to get 'along without some of the luxuries in which we've 'been indulging ourselves during “the boom.” If we do these things wisely and thoroughly, America need not fear a major depression. We will have in its place a sane and gradual return to a true measure of standard | and basic values. Samred in the Post Office in Juneso ar Second Class Matter. SUBZCRIPTION BATE!

One of the things that hurt him in that race was that although he claimed New Mexican residence since 1935, he forgot to pay taxes not only then but for several years thereafter.

UPHILL BATTLE Now back again, this time running against popular Clinton Anderson,| longtime resident of New Mexico, formerly its lone Congressman and later Secretary of Agriculture. It's an uphill battle. However,| there is one thing you can say for Hurley. Tn the long years be- tween his exit irom the Hoover administration to his current Sen: torial campaign, Pat has lacked the knack to keep his name in the headlines Sometimes the headlines haven't been so kind, as when he ordered his Cadillac car flown over the Himalaya Mountains from India to China in an Army plane when U S. troops.in China critically needed war supplies Or again, he didn't well when Sen.

The | day HURLEY'S BOSOM "\ One of the things that constant-! ly astonishes friends of Patrick J. Hurley is his amazing charming gall. His bosom blossoms | with an imposing array of military | decorations, but the person who admires them has no way of know- | ing how they were collected. One incident Hurley doesn’t brag about, for instance, is his exit from Darwin, Australia, in 1942. Roose- velt, who wanted to curry Republi- can support, had given Hurley a roving mission in the South Pac fic and Pat flew into Darwin one day just ahead of the Japs. As an ambassador he Laxmd with him the State Department’s secret code, used for radioing mes- | sages back to the U. S. A. This code is guarded so carefully that| traveling some- times chain it to their wrists when they go to bed at night | However, Ambassador Hurley left! the code in his airplane at the airport while he spent| the night in town. That night, Jap airplanes attacked. What became of the code no one knows.
