Incidentally, of the ten leading causes of death in the country, only one—tuber- culosis—has shown a steady decline dur- ing the past few years. Whether this is to be attributed to the steady campaign which is waged against the white plague, or not, we have no way of knowing, but we suspect that there is some close con- <neetion. Concerning heart disease,t'a tecog- reports that coronary “disease ofthe intelligensia” because of the sus- ‘veptibility of physicians, bankers, lawyers “ind clergymen. The characteristics of the ~disease including the hardening of the + -nevves, ligaments and blood vessels around the heart and its incidence is highest among those who do mental work and lowest among those who do manual labor. 1" The Citizen naturally hesitates to at- tempt any conclusion from these observa- tions but, apparently, the disease attacks individuals who are prone to forget the im- portance of physical exercise while con- Suing their energies in the anxiety of mental worries. It would therefore appear that, somewhere along the line of popular education in this country, the physical na- ture’ of man has been neglected. If this is true, and we believe it is, we might save the lives of future professional men in this community by stressing ath- ~-omleti¢é interests during childhood, with the hope that, when these individuals reach vuturity; they will have sense enough to continue what has been wisely begun. WE'LL WATCH AND WAIT For many months everybody has been shouting in favor of the Hoover Commis- sion program for making the Government more efficient and less costly, But now as we are coming to the question of approval of the job that has been done by the form- er President and his Commission, many people who are familiar with the imper- fections and flaws in the Federal govern- ment, wonder whether the Hoover plan will be a “sure cure” for the ills and evils of our National Administration, When Hoover was President the num- ber of Government agencies was about 350. Today it numbers more than 1,300. The Federal Government has become the most gigantic business on earth, ee, People who know a great deal seldom make positive assertions. —_—_—... Race problems are not new in the history of the world and _ they will not be solved by newspaper articles or pretty speeches. That announcement by General: Mo- tors of a reduction in price on its cars, ranging from $10 to $40, is of minor conse- quence to a man who intends to purchase one, amounting only from a fraction of one percent to two percent, assuming the cost of a car is $2,000. The prices of some of the cars range far beyond that figure, so that a $10 or $40 reduction is barely the proverbial drop in the bucket. Yet small as the percentage is, it means a saving of $9 to $10 million yearly to the company. That fact gives one a good idea of the vastness of that corporation, with its 44,000,000 shares’ of’ ‘common stock and a payroll for 361,000 workmen, But the main point about the reduc- tion is how far does it cast a shadow ih what the future has in store for the prices of automobiles? How long will it be, if the time ever comes again, before ears will be selling at immediate prewar prices? Whe- ther or not prices will fall to that level, one may be sure that when a recession or de- pression comes, for it surely will come, the drop in prices will be far more decided than that put into effect Friday by General Motors, Prices for automobiles scooted sky- high because of the interruption in the production during the war years. Millions of people wanted new cars and, when they were given a chance, bought them regard- less of how much they cost. Even second- hand cars brought prices far higher than what was paid for new cars in the im- mediate prewar period. But that time has passed. From all over the country reports have come that thousands of dealers, who had expected to make large profits on secondhand cars, have found themselves glutted with turned-in cars. Asa _ result they have been sold, or offered for sale, at sums under the amounts that had thereto- fore been asked for them. The remark that a recession or de- pression will come has the backing of the history of economic conditions since men began to organize communities. Good times are always followed by hard times, and hard times by good times, and nobody or government can hold back the change from one to the other. It will go on and on as long as business lasts. Propaganda, in a democracy, is com- mendable except when it is dishonest and subversive. ALL-TIME HIGH FOR 1949? Here is an encouraging economic pre- diction for the United States in 1949: Mr. Leon Keyserling, described as one of the President’s top advisers, says that perity in this country should hit time high in 1949. “Everything points to _ it,” Mr. Keyserling, who says that ment is higher than in the months of 1948 and that all types of spendable income are higher, savings are higher and surveys show a higher level of investments ready to be used. The recent fall in food prices, accord- | ing to Mr. Keyserling, is not alarming. The reason why this is true should be interest- ing to farmers. The economic expert says that farmers do not reduce employment or curtail production when profits are small- er. In this of course, they do not follow the lead of intelligent industrial execu- tives who do not hesitate to reduce em- ployment or curtail production when any- thing threatens profits. Mr. Keyserling admits that of the farmers’ income is cut too sharply, it might mean that the agriculturalists industrial products and _ this more lay-offs in industrial ever, he does not seemto be much wor- ried by this threat and repeats his sug- gestion that 1949 ought to be avery good year “unless fear psychology overtakes business men and _ investors and they de- cide the end of the boom is near.” pros- an all- declares employ- first three cannot buy will mean plants.
