The economy drive should bégi’ with activities ‘which! are-not properly within the} sphere of government, andi which would be provided ; by tax-paying business if it} were ‘allowed the opportun-j; ity. The outstanding exam-! ple of this lies in govern- mént electric power proj-' ects. At this very moment, the socialists are demand- ing that the government; spend untold millions to} create and develop a Mis- suri Valley Authority, a Columbia Valley Authority, and- a. number of others, None of these would pro- vide a-~ single necessary thing that private industry under local government reg- ulation cannot and should nt provide. Not one of them would: produce benefits suf- ficient to’ offset the losses that occur when free enter- prise is liquidated, and more snd more property is re- moved from local tax rolls. Senator Bridges points the way. Let Congress fol- low. Damon Runyon, who died afew days ago, was one of America’s foremost journa- lists; and in this writer’s opinion, second only to the great Arthur Brisbane. giving his estimate of the possession of money: Not for to hide it in a hedge, Nor for a train attendant, But for the glorious privilege Of being independent. With those thoughts in mind, we suggest to the com- mittee that is arranging for Christmas cheer for the needy in Key West to try to learn of families that are hard put to get bread and butter but whose sense of pride is such they do not ask for charity. The Citizen has been in- formed‘ that there are at least 50. such families in Key West. General inquiry will locate most of them, and we trust that the com- mittee will succeed in find- ing them. Undoubtedly, the commit- tee is aware that there are a good many persons who are always ready to toe the line to get a handout, re- gardless of whether or not they. need it. Despite that with which the committee will. have to contend, the spirit of cheer that the com- mittee will create in many a home at Christmas time is in keeping with the season of peace on earth and good- will ot all men. Remember, John L. Lewis, that liberty without law is anarchy,, and you know what anarchy is—or don’t you? After making proper. al- lowanceé for modesty, we are moved to suggest that a sub- scription to the Key West Citizen will be a welcomed gift on Christmas Day. WHAT TO DO ABOUT RUSSIA Secretary of State James F. Byrnes recently expressed some doubt to Soviet Minis- ter Molotov that treaties of peace will be concluded at all, pointing out that, at the present rate of progress, the work of he Council will not be completed until 1950. It is reeorded that the So- viet Foreign Minister consid- ered the view “pessimistic” but the record seems to up- hold the conclusion of Mr. Byrnes. So far, the Council of Foreign Ministers has been unable to agree upon any important issue, large- ly because the Russians do not agree upon any solution of any problem except their own. It is difficult for the peo- ple of this country to under- stand the position taken by the Russian officials, but, if we judge from comments in Russian Communist newspa- pers, it is equally as difficult for the Russians to under- stand the position taken by the Western powers. There is the necessity that treaties of peace be drafted in order that the nations of the earth can get back to the routine of peace. The enemy countries are entitled | to know the cost of their late folly in order that they can begin, if they see fit, to re- habilitate themselves and become acceptable members in a society of peaceful na- tions. While it is too early to conclude that separate treaties of peace may be necessary in order to estab- | lish a doubtful stability in) Europe, it begins to look as if the task is hopeless and that the Western Nations will have ‘to choose between chaos or some kind of sta- bility in the absence of the Soviet Union. condition| !
