THE ORACLE ~~ THE SKUNK IN THE WOODPILE ~ Phe government is crying for money to meet countless commitments, as well as maintain the normal functions of govern- ing. Te held down the growing deficit. be- it follows a Penny-wise, pound-foolish policy. It saves pennies by pinching on such vital and legitimate functions as the forest =. service, coast guard, market roads, harbor improvements and similar activities which SSOMEE strictly government services of a pub- “Sie wharacte: r. == Then it needlessly wastes billions on wh schemes as public power develop- “ments which would otherwise be carried on “ay highly taxed enterprise. Thus it de- stroys or prevents the building of much needed taxpaying industry. It is time the people awakened to the faet that the promises of politicians to give them something for nothing in return for their voves it a polite method of swind- ling them out of their eyetecth through higher and higher taxes. ™ Every day it becomes more apparent that there is a well desigried Federal plan being promoted in Congress to socialize the electric power industry of the U.S. ‘This is done under devious guises but the Hd result is always the same — tax exempt a@vernment monopoly, centralized politi- Kal control of local resources, and loss of and regulation of electric power. When is the Washington government going to quit shouting benevolence and Utopia via the socialization route. and settle down to the less spectacular chore of maintaining the essential functions of government? Why must any American enterprise be sacrificed by the piecemeal adoptism of the British socialization-of-in- dustry program? Unless the people reject the encroach- ment of the Federal government in local affairs, state governments will soon be mere collection agencies to dig up taxes to support a gigantic Federal bureaueracy within their borders. The raids on the public treasury be- gin to smell. — There are 55 tetired generals living in San Antonio, Texas.

BACK IN THE SUN ——— : So many conflicting reports. “come | trom Western Europe about the effects of | the Marshall Plan ba tage e for’. yin those countries, it is difficult cans at home to determine just what are the con- ditions there. a : é In The Citizen for Wednesday, Dr. Ludd_ M. Spivey said the Freneh people are “hopeless,” and that. ‘they see no future for theméelves, individually or collectively. Other reports from France have given an-entirely different picture of the attitude of Frenthmen genetally. While French Comntunists have tried to disrupt the up- ward trend in the economic life of the na- tion, members of other parties have as- serted that France is fast returning to a pre-war standard of living. Frenchmen naturally have a zest for life, and story after story, apearing in the press of the United States, have told of recurrences of national pastimes and in- creased production in the industrial field. The French are good judges of nation- al character and ability, They. know the Germans and the Russians well. French- men are aware that Russians lack the apti- tude and the incentiveness in almost every field of endeavor, whereas the Germans are better thinkers and more accomplished workers than the Russians, It was that reason that has prompted Frenchmen to insist repeatedly since the end of the second World War that the Germans be stripped of every plant that may be used to manufacture war material. As for the Russians, despite their ponderous armies, the French know that they have no disposition to fight and, in- stead, fall back on their old chicanry to try to fool the people of other nations. France, despite what Dr. Spivey said, will regain her place i nthe sun, as she re- gained it after many another upset of her economy and military status as a world power. COUNCIL OF EUROPE BEGINS The Council of Europe marks the be- ginning of an intelligent effort on the part of statesmen from thirteen nations to achieve a unity which seems necessary to the preservation of their liberties and in- dependence. Meeting in Strasbourg, France, on the border between France and Germany, the Ministerial Committee, representing Great Britain, France, Italy, the Nether- lands Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and _ Ireland, approv- ed the admission of Greece, Turkey and Iceland. The foreign ministers of these countries, excepting Iceland, met for the purpose of setting up an agenda for the Consultative Assembly, with an eye to pre- venting the undue consideration of ex- traneous subjects. It is too early to suggest that the Council is a parliament of the free nations of Europe but it is clearly evident that a signifieant step has been taken along the road to some form of union. In making this approach, the delegates of the na- tions assembled were following the ad- vice of Winston Churchill, who has in- sisted that the salvation of free nations in Europe depends upon cooperative unity. There naturally arise formidable ob- stacles to the surrender of soverignty by any independent nation. Consequently, the scope of the activity of the Council will probably be limited to’ matters con- nected with defense and economic securi- ty. In these areas, there is ample space for effective cooperation without inter- ference with the domestic matters that vitally concern the peoples of the coopera- ting nations. One of the early proposals represent- ed an attempt to secure some declaration on human rights, with the provision that an international court be established to en- force its decisions upon these questions which intimately touch the lives of indi- viduals. This follows closely the pattern set by the United Nations which seems to believe that it can guarantee rights to in- dividuals by passing a resolution. Efforts to enforce such provisions will necessarily involve interference by for- eigners in the affairs of nations and are certain to provoke resentment. It would be well if the Council of Europe and the United Nations will con- centrate their efforts upon measures looking today the establishment of ade- quate defenses for, free peoples and the creation of economic conditions which will foster and develop international commerce, These are the requisites for the sucessful existence of what we call west- ern civilization. The international organi- zations should avoid the temptation to reform the world. Chapter 25 EVERYTHING about the Forty- Street different, Dettia thought. sere petecithe day-time activity of Ux ce.

Late last night I pre- ferred charges here against some- one in connection with a hit and run accident. I believe he was booked under the name of John Smith.” “That's a funny one,” he said. “There seems to be two of you. The question is which one’s which?” It was Derria’s turn to be puz- zled. “I’m afraid I don’t follow you.” “About an hour or so ago, a man and a girl came in here and asked me about this John Smith. eet a said her name was - ria Martin, and that she’d mi a mistake the night before, that this man she'd laid ‘the charges against wasn’t the right one at all.” “The girl showed us some dentials to prove she was Derria Martin, so after taking down her address and that of the fe’ with her, we released S; There wasn’t anything else for us to do,” He peered down at her. “Now ‘ou say, miss, that your name’s rria Martin. I don’t get it.” “Someone's managed to put one over on you, Sergeant,” Derria said. “I was the one who pre- ferred charges last night, not this other girl. This man Smith, as he called himself, attempted to Hg mes down, bys failed, Pe, ba only obeying orders, an 0) that by having him locked I'd get a lead on who was be! him. I see now that they were just a little too quick for me. What name did the man who was with the girl give?” The other hesitated. “I sippens there isn’t any harm in tel ing you,” he answered, glancing ai the record. “The name he gave was Nick Thora.” He looked at her sharply. “That name mean anything to you?” “No, nothing) Derria thought quickly. “Just forget about the whole thing.” TODAY'S | BIRTHDAY By AP MAXWELL DAVENPORT TAY- LOR, born Aug. 26, 1901, at Key- tesville, Mo., son of a lawyer.

There we have it—we're just about back where we started from.” ERRIA calmly walked into Nick Thora’s office. “What did you wish to see me | about?” he finally asked when tce silence was becoming uncomfort- able. “Did you wish to make ar- rangements for a funeral per- haps?’ “Perhaps I should make myself clear. Do you know a gentleman ae original name of John mith?” “I’m afraid I. haven’t had the pleasure, Miss Martin.” “How odd!” Derria looked per- plexed. “I was under the impres- sion he was a friend of yours.

Thora emerged from the door and, after a brief look up the street, crossed to a car parked at the curb. Derria fell in behind him. As they progressed she became more and more certain of his destina- tion. Once they turned down Maple Street she was no longer in doubt. Thora parked his car about a block above the Liberty Laundry, and quickly made his way its direction. oughtfully, Derria drove in the direction of her home, (Te be continued) TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES (Know America) 1797—Innokentii, Russian priest-missionary in from 1823, adviser to United States when we took over, re- membered works, born in Siberia.
