His view, amplified, falls in line-with what The Citizen has been mointaining for almost 30 years: we should haye a@ national lottery, with the government pocketing the piofits and using them to relieve the tax burden. Many persons are against a national lot- tery or gambling in any form, but it ‘seems to be hypocritical in opposing a lottery, which would materially help the government to cut down its vast bonded indebtedness, when one is aware that a thousand lotteries or their equivalent are operating continuously in the United States and only in a féw instances ‘ do municipalities share in the protits. Several cities in Texas have legalized slot machines which dre run by city offiéials. One city has paid off its indebtedness dnd paved several roads with slot-machine earnings. As gambling is deeply inherent in most people, and as they dre determined to gamble regardless of whatever is done ta try to stop them, then let us have a’ lottery’ of’ national scope from which the government will receive hundreds of milions of dollars in profits.

And the net profits earned by those chaing—the money which the owners actually keeps after paying the bill—are'a trifle more than one cent out of each dollar spent with them. This is true of thousands of independent stores as well, And it is true, in principle, of food retailing in every field. No business is more directly competitive than retailing. Every storekeeper is constantly seeking new or better ways to attract trade. And one of the greatest inducements to con- sumers is low price.

Two Congressional investigations are attracting public attention but, so far at least, neither committee has exhibited any tendency to seek sensational publicity at the expense of those who appear to testify. The Sentite sub-committee, looking into the activities of alleged ‘“‘five-percenters,” is headed by Senator Clyde R. Hoey, of North Carolina, and the House Armed Services Com- mittee, headed by Chairman Carl Vinson, ot Georgia, is probing into matters connected with the B-36, the Air Force's super-bomber.
