THE ORACLE. —_—$— $< —— re | WHERE CONGRESS FAILED Perhaps the most signa! failure of the last Congress was the budget it approved. The reductions made were far short of the forecasts, and the promise that every non- essential item would be pared, was not kept. Few complain of the high appropri- ations made for the military services, the foreign aid program, and other unavoid- able expenses. But the tax-burdened pub- lic has every right to call Congress to ac- count for heavy spending for purposes which could and should be a function of private enterprise. A notable example of that is the government power projects. Early in the session, a House committee made heavy cuts in items in the President’s proposed budget dealing with socialized power. But these projected economies were short-lived. One by one, most of them were restored in whole or in part, as local pressure groups clamored for more money, and Senators and Representatives sang a different tune in the hope of keep- ing the folks back home happy. What this means’ is that hundreds of millions of tax ‘dollars will now be spent on work of a strietly commercial nature which would otherwise be financed by pri- vate, investment dollars. It means, fur ther, that the electric industry will be dis- couraged from expanding as it normally would—and so discouraged from building facilities which would create new taxable assets for all units of government. And, lastly, it means that an alien concept of nationalization of industry has taken an- other step forward in our country. Sooner or later, the nation must come to grips with this issue. We can’t indefin- ately talk about the merits of free enter prise—and at the same time promote so- cialism and the super-state, -_ CONGRESS NEGLECTS OUR MERCHANT MARINE _ Congressman Bradley of California has made a splendid appeal to restore an adequate Merchant Marine. He seems to know that the Government is letting down our oldest transportation business, There is an old adage that the Lord helps those who help themselves. That brings up the question of — why doea not the great American Ship Industry gets on it own sea legs? OUTLOOK IS GOOD From many parts of Florida, judging by exchanges received by The Citizen, bus- iness is stili good and building operations afe extehsive, but size for size, Key West and other of the Florida Keys are well hoiding their own. Indeed, from Marathon to Rock Har- bor on Key Largo, growth in population ‘and building activity is greater than it has ever been before. Building in Key West probably is as active as it has ever been, and while busi- Ress is not as good as a year ago, indica- tions are that it will show an uptrend in the next few weeks. A major factor in the increase will be still further building activity. Several pro- jects have been reported recently in The Citien that will give employment to many | men. While it is true that the bulk of the additional building is of a public nature, such as the construction of the Martello ; Beach and a home for the indigent, yet it ; will mean more work and more money in } cireulation, even though a quarter of a mil- | lion represents the sale of bonds, for which property owners eventually will pay. { | Our chief “industry”, the Navy Yard, i apparently will maintain its present status of civilian employment, which is slightly more than 1,000. . And then fall is in the offing, with the prospect of the early arrival of tourists at that time. The coming tourist season will find Key West in a better position than ever before to provide accommoda- tions for visitors, due to the construction of many houses and apartments since the end of the 1946-47 winter season. Yes, the loca! outlook is good. Before the last war, “war-monger was an intelligent American who warhed his people that the Axis nations had de- 1 } | signs upon the liberty of all people includ- ing those in this country. DEATH ON THE HIGHWAYS Statistics show that during the first six months of 1947, there were 14,480 deaths due to traffic accidents. This was @ little better than for the same period of 1946 when 15,290 persons were killed on the highways. ‘Bverybody knows that these fatalities were due to bad drivers and careless p2d- estrains. If these two groups could be regulated by traffic lights and traffic of- ficers the slaughter of human beings would be reduced, almost to a minimum. That is to say that carelessness is the cause of death and injury to thousands of people. When a business man extends credit to an individual he pays him the highest com- pliment possible in the commercial world, but it is often taken as a matter of course. ACCENT ON YOUTH (From New York Herald Tribune, Aug. 6, 1947) President Truman has made a distinguished appointment to the Federal government in nam- ing Mr. John R. Alison to be Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Air. At thirty-five this seven- time decorated veteran of aerial combat in World War II has an enviable record and the kind of vision and daring required to keep this country air-minded and out in front in aeronautical de- velopment. He joined the Army Air Forces after graduation from the University of Florida in 1936, was sent to England in 1941 as an adviser to the Royal Air Force on operations of American-built planes and, as an assistant military attache at Moscow, helped to train Russian pilots in the dark days of the struggle against the Nazi invaders of the Soviet Union. In 1942-43 he was one of Gen- eral Chennault’s aces in the 14th Air China that took over the Flying Tigers. Next he and Colonel Philip Cochran (“Flip Curkin” of the “Terry” cartoons) teamed up with a bold and enterprising Briton, Major General Orde Wingate, who had sold to President Roose- velt and Mr. Churchill! at Quebec a daring plan to send an air commando force into Northern Burma to fight deep behind the Japanese lines. Seven months af back-breaking work went into the planning of that operation; it was Alison’s job, as a colonel and second in command to Coch- van, to make an airport in twelve hours out of a jJungie clearing. The Cochran-Alison team had as their authority General Arnold's command: “To hell with paper work. Go out and fight.” They did. Gliders whizzed into the jungle field in darkness; by day the field was cleared, and that | night sixty-five transport loads landed on it bring- { ing in Wingate raiders, food, equipment and am- | munition, It was a team job that could only have | ' \ Force in been done by men of imagination and high cour- | age. That is the sort of stuff of which Mr. Alison is made, and that is what it takes to do the wark | so recently laid aside at the Commerce Depart- | ment by another able citizen, Mr. A. M. Burden. | THE KEY SATURDAY “aucusT 7 (For East.
