THE ORACLE. THE COURSE OF SOCIALISM It' would be manifestly unjust to’ say that the Labor government created Eng- land’s economic problems. Those problems were principally the result of the drains of war on British resources and capital. How- ever, it is undoubtedly true that the’ Labor government’s basic policy of socialization and regimentation of the country’s pro- ductive machine is delaying British recov- ery and sapping the national energies. Socialism is the great destroyer of ini- tiative. It places all power in the hands of bureaucrats—and bureaucrats in Eng- land are of the same kidney as bureaucrats in the United States or the Soviet Union. Their own interests come first. All the fa- cilities of a swollen super-government are used to keep the people in line. The individual is lost in the red tape of a gov- ernment which has its fingers in every’ phase of human activity. There is little chance for individual progress, and the rewards for work and ambition are severe- ly limited. The’ Labor government came to power by promising that socialism would curé England's economic ills. But it has failed in every particular. Socialization of the coal mines has not increased output nor bettered the lot of the miners. Soeializa- tion of finance has not strengthened Eng- land’s world credit position, The threatened socialization of all British railroads and electric utilities is expected to cause more financial troubles—and to further bureau- eratize the country. And the government's projected agricultural “reform” bill has raised a storm of protest, on the grounds that it would permit expropriation of property and a policy of dictation toward farm owners and workers. Socialism always ‘takes the same course. It exalts the office-holder and rushes the rest of the people. Worst of all, when thoroughly entrenched, it be- comes extremely sensitive to criticism and in one way or another stifles opposition. By its very principles, it is the enemy of social freedom even as it is the enemy of economic freedom. The object lesson which a socialized Europe is giving us now should make every American deter- mined to resist its further inroads here. Give the knocker the silent treatment; It makes him mad. —_ In @ current radio commercial, eight seconds of silence is broadeast. This is an excellent though short step in the right di- rection.——Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘}a meter-breaker INCONSISTENCY The law has many inconsistencies and incongruities too, so that it is not unusual to hear laymen say that they can not un- derstand some laws or the motive that | prompted their enactment. Last week Key Westers were regaled with the deviousness of law as applied to two cases that came up in municipal court. One day a sailor was fined $250 for breaking a parking meter, and the next day two sailors were fined $80 each for driving an automobile smashing into three cars, badly damaging two of them, and then running away from the scene of the accidents in an attempt to evade the police. The owner of one of the cars that were | smashed said that she urgently needed it to take children to her school, and added that she had not been given any conerete assurance that the damage to her car would be paid for by the drunken drivers. Evidently, the right place to have tried the defendants was the criminal court, not the city court. Penalties imposed in criminal courts in cases, of that nature are severe, as, operating under state law, the judge is aware of the danger to life as well as property that is imminent when a drunken person drives an automobile. However, the inconsistency in the im- position of the penalties in city court is not the blame of the judge. A majority of ‘the commissioners, for some reason bet- ter known to themselves, has insisted in making it mandatory on the judge to fine $250, and, conversely, dees not make the penalty stiff enough for a drunken person at the wheel of an automobile in operation. Yes, the layman, who bases his reason- ‘ng on common sense, ean not understand the workings of the law in a good many instances. Fanaticism is what might be called the self-assertion of ignorance. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DOLLAR? Labor's drive for ever-increasing wages, without compensatory increases in produc- tion, ‘is a tragic example of economic fu- tility.. A pictogram in the United States News vividly demonstrates what has happened to the American dollar. In terms of pur- chasing power, an income that was worth $4,952, after taxes, in 1939, is worth only $2,815 now. So it goes, up and down che income scale. This is not, of course, entirely the r2- sult of increased wages. Many other fac- tors, notably taxation and prodigal gov- ernment spending, must bear their share of responsibility. But it is an obvious fact that the’ cost’ of labor represents a very large proportion of almost everything pro- duced in this country. ’ In the past, we raised wages and low- ered prices. We accomplished that be- cause the output per man increased along with pay. Since the, war, the exatt opposite has occurred. Most basie industries re- port that, while wages are much higher than before, production per man-hour is lower. The consequence of that can be ex- pressed in a single word—inflation. The real interest of labor lies in job security-—and in the purchasing power of the dollar. In self-defense, if for no other motive, labor must cooperate with man- agement to get the goods out, to increase production, and'to so contro! prices. End- less wage demands coupled with decreas- ed production per man spell ruin for the American economy. That is the hard truth |__ of the matter. The search for easy profits harder work. NEW TYPE OF §1-A-YEAR MAN It might be a good idea to call attention | to the fact that Roy Le Craw, recently ap- | pointed director of a program sponsored | ‘by the Presbyterian Church in the United States, has turned down a $10,000 salary and will serve as a dollar-a-year man. Fr. Le Craw, who apparently is in a position to work a year without compensa- tion, sets a good example for men of means. He considers it, he says, a privi- lege to “do this job” because “the Lord has taken care of me in the past” and he believes he can “trust Him to do so in the future.” 5 The example of Mr. Be Craw should be followed by other men of wealth. It can- not be followed by men who have to earn their living every year. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN . Radio Programs Sa Da lin inl tan to oneal tnt foctin tn tn tot tn tp Dn i te) !
