Truman has been in office -only a few years and during that com- paratively short time he spent 184 bil- lion dollars. This is 30 billion dollars «more than was spent by this government in the 147 years of its existence from George Washington up to the end of ‘Roosevelt's first administration. It cost Jess than $50 million (not billion) dol- lars to run our government in the year 1850. THE ORACLE Le MIGHT USE SOME AT HOME The United States plans to use 260,000 copies ofa picture-story series on great Americans to introduce U. S. American “hefoes to the people in South Korea, Thailand, Viet Nam (French Indo China) and Indonesia. — == The hope of the State Department is % that hand-to-hand circulation about the “OWistéry and background of this country wilt be spread in areas under Commun- ist*pressure.

There are some people in Key West who think that they have to read every book that they buy. Having acquired it, they make up their minds to “read it through” and until they have fulfilled this resolution, they are out of the market for books. Contrary to the idea generally held, few books are ever read straight through, with the possible exception of detective Stories. There is no sense in continuing to read a yolume which one finds unin- _ “Rene sting or unprofitable. The best thing “to do is te throw it aside and save time Sfor something else.

It is believed that the equipment and armament of the armies in Eastern Eu- rope are largely standardized, with sup- plies coming from Russia, Czechoslova- kia and, to a smaller extent, Poland. Something of the same program is be- img undertaken by the five Brussels Pact allies — Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembaurg — which have been paying special attention to the standardization of armament since they formed their union a year and a half ago. The idea of the program is to enable their armies to operate as a unit in time of war. Much the same result is expected to result from the recently announced plans of the United Staces, Great Britain and Canada. These nations have worked out a program for the most complete ex- change of information about ° military weapons and fighting methods. The-three countries will pool information on practi- eally everything used by their. fighting forces and will mutually study some of the weapons that may be developed. The idea is to make standard weapons interchange- able between the forces of the three na- tions and to draw on the inventive techni- ques of scientists and the “operational pro- cedures“ of military planners. The idea behind the interchange is the implementation of the Atlantic Pact. The three nations posses the bulk of the mil- itary productive resources of the non- Communist world. Obviously, if they can dove-tail their production of arms, they will be in a position to act faster and hit harder if a necessity emerges. During the first two World Wars, the United States and her allies and associ- ated powers had considerable difficulty in exchanging supplies and facilities and speeding up production. One official says it took eighteen months during the last war to convert the plans of a British airplane engine so that American ma- chinists could work from them. These things could be avoided by a standardization program. along the; lines of that to be developed by the three na- tions. When this program gets under- way, the probability is that it will grad- ually spread to the other nine nations, signatories to the North Atlantic Pact. In years to come the probability is that the armies, navies and air force of the three nations will result from the coopera- tive research and development of all dem- ocratic countries. It will be the business of our military leaders to see that this program outdis- tances anything that potential aggressors can devise and develop. LABOR CANNOT STRIKE In a course of an opinion handed down in Portland, Oregon, Circuit Judge Walter Tooze said: “Labor, which has the legal right to strike and engage in peaceful picketing against private employers, can- not strike against the government, or any arm of government.” He further imple- mented this view by saying, “‘Bluntly stat- ed, under no circumstances can there be lawful picketing or striking against - the state, or any part thereof.” This is an unequivocal expression of a generally accepted legal principle. The government is supreme, and a_ strike against it would be in the nature of rebel- lion.It could not be tolerated. It would, of necessity, be broken and all the resources of government would be mobilized to do the job. What is the significance of this to la- bor? The answer can be stated simply. If we are to have government-owned _ busi- ness, which is socialism, and if we are to have ever-increasing governmental con- trol over our economic life, we will see a steady loss of freedom on the part of labor. Once government becomes a mass-employ- er, the working man will take whatever the politicians want to give him. He will totally lack any effective means of better- ing his lot. And that, in the long run, what creates slave labor on the communist pattern. To put the case another way, we will have free labor and free unions only so long as we have free enterprise and pri- vately-owned business. The two are in- separable—they are based on exactly the same concept. Every dictator, as soon as he communizes industry, destroys the labor unions and shackles the workers.
