United States Senator Byrd of Virginia, pointing out the extrava- ances of the federal government. He has kept up his fight against waste in govern- ment activities for several years without success, except in minor instances, but now he is receiving aid from a source that prob- ably will convince the Democratic ad- ministration that drasti¢ action should be taken to cut down unneeded federal ex- penses. Three days ago, an Associated Press dispatch published, in The Citizen quoted Senator Byrd as declaring that 210,000 federal employes could be re- leased without impairing the operation of government bureaus, Now comes the Herbert Hoover com- mission, after a thorough investigation, to assert, in a report to congress, that the na- tion is “paying heavily” because of dis- organization in the executive branch of the government. : The commission has been working 16 months on a vast governmental reorganiza- tion plan. It was learned that so many un- necessary expenses were interlocked with operational activities, the commission ask- ed for more time to complete the job be- fore making final recommendations, An extension of 60 days was granted to finish the work. Thus far the commission has pointed out that, in the last 20 years, the number of federal employes has increased, from 570,000 to 2,100,000; bureaus and related units have increased four fold to more than 1,800; annual expenditures have increased from $3 billion 600 million to $42 billion; the national debt per average family has gone up from $500 to $7,500.

The Communist-dominated govern- ment of Hungary has arrested a Catholic cardinal, thus bringing to a crisis the long- standing feud between the Government and the outspoken champion of the Cath- olic church in that country. While the Hungarian Government as- serts that it acts because the Cardinal is suspected of treason, the outside world will lean to the suspicion that the Hun- garian Government is acting for other reasons, including the fact that the Cardi- nal has opposed the present government and his defiance tends to incite opposition to the present political system. Be the truth of the matter what it may, the arrest of the Cardinal creates no issue between the United States and Hun- gary. Consequently, it is not an issue to be taken up by the State Department or the Government of the United States. Eventually, the peoples of this coun- try must understand that the United State. not appointed to regulate the doings and behavior of other governments and other peoples. What we can do is to set anexample of tolerance and_ liberalism that will tend to encourage these virtues throughout the world.

A business review for Florida con- cludes that the present year will be pros- perous if the pattern of the years since the end of the war is followed. This is about equivalent to saying that the year will be prosperous if it is prosperous, The truth of the matter is that no economist, no business expert and no busi- ness man knows what the year’ 1949 will bring. The tempo of business operations in the United States depends, not upon cash in the banks, but upon the optimistic atti- tude of prospective buyers. If this con- tinues to operate, the economic activity will promote good business conditions. It is necessary, However, for business enterprises to understand that the present favorable outlook can be changed, almost overnight, if the prospective buyers de- | velop a streak of pessimism.
