ATIONAL EDITORIAL corry | .VEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN More Hotels and SPENDTHRIFT INVESTIGATION The President of the United States is being urged, at the instigation of Senator Taft, to appoint a non-partisan “Leading Citizens Commission” to study the whole policy of Government spending. The Sena- tor suggested the Commission as an alter- native to raising taxes or facing “National éalamity.” He said increasing taxes would be a very dangerous policy. * Phe Ohio Republican suggests a ‘‘com- plete restudy of the’ Nation’s agriculture program,,plus long, deep, serious and com- plete study of the 12 million dollars being spent this year on individual food, a plan of “Something for vothing.” Senator Taft rang the bell when he called deficit spending demoralizing and “the easy road to Socialism.” He dis- agreed with those who justified a budget deficit because of the existing “cold war.” The Ohio Senator charged that there is now very little money for new businesses because of high taxes which should be re- duced substantially. He emphasized his belief that the Government cannot afford to cut off the National Defense forces. Senators Harry Byrd of Virginia, and Walter F. George of Georgia added their endorsements to what Taft has said—and called itia practical program. We are not ‘among the Americans who believe that handful of Communists ean overthrow. the “Ui.

Bigelow. president of the National ty for the Prevention of Blindness, who adds that three hundred industrial workers. suffer eye injuries each year,that 860,)00 persons are losing their’ sight from glaucoma and do not know it and tHat 4,600,000 school children need eye cara +s The statement announced the So- i effort to raise $500,000 in 1950 te keep up the battle. against preventable blinffness. Because people are living longer than in 1900, more men and women are being subjected to the blinding diseases that strike in the latter years of life. Addi- ti "years, says Mr. Bigelow, are often bowght™*at the cost of blindness.” ~—Phe plight of a blind person, especi- ally a young boy or girl, arouses the sym- pathy of most Americans, It is high time that the nation, in its effort to eliminate avdidable disease and affliction, pays more attention to the prevention of blind- nes$ Nothing that we know of can add as muéh as good sight to the life of an indivi- duat. } Those concerned with the work of preventing blindness assert that more than halfof all blindness can be prevented by appling the knowledge we already have abofff ‘sight-saving. They estimate that ther are more'than five million blind per- songsin the world and that, in the United States alone, some 22,000 persons become blind each year, most of them needlessly £0 }» “ECONOMIC ASTROLOGY” = “Economic astrology” is what Q. For- rest Walker, an economist, calls the prac- i of making long-range forecasts on the state of the fational economy. Mr. Walker recognizes that progress has’ been made in removing some factors in fpreeasting, such as pestilence, weather, ecofomie disturbance and the like, but he insists that new tools and techniques have been developed to fortify our judgment about the course of future events. Never- theliiss, the random factors are so impor- tan@that accuracy of forecasting is all but imppssible. * he United States shquld go easy in fing any treaty prepared by a group ople who seek to use thé powers of " ment to guarantee the impossible. ee ee SELES eo Seva + pelt ave : )8 neges hutieveny effort shouldbe made to, dyord’ anything: ‘ War begins to appear possible in In- dia where the disciples of Mahatma Gandhi are about ready to deal sternly with Pakistan; evidently passive resist- ance is applicable only to superior force. GOOD TASTE ON THE AIR The warning sent out by the Federal Communications Commission to __ televi- sion broadcasters that they must maintain standards of taste and decency may. not be necessary in view of the good conduct those who operate television fi the are, nevertheless, timely. Re: ulation Sf radio and: television. is like rigid ¥eensorship: Because of the impact of the8e new agen- cis of informaton and entertainment up- on the family group, the nation has an in- terest in the type of programs broadcast over the ether. While .wedo -not -believe that intel- ligent and-stable citizens will give their time and attention to improper and in- decent programs, there is aways an ele- ment of the population anxious to wal- low in dirt. Moreover, children of tender years, operating home-receiving _ sets, would inevitably get mixed up in the smut and filth. 8 We think regulations, designed to protect the listening and seeing publc, should be limited as far as possible to those things which offend public taste and con- seience. It.should not extend to anything like ta ban. on blood-and thunder narra- tives and programs of this ilk which cause discussion but which-cannot yet be un- animously condemned. If the democracies of the world form a super-tinion, they will be following the example of the thirteen American colonies and we think we should go along. GREEK CHILDREN STOLEN The world seems to have forgotten the case of thousands of Greek children who were abducted by Communist guer- rillas and taken from their homes in Greece to live in the satellite countries. Oscar R. Ewing, Federal Security Ad- ministrator, who recently visited Greece, suggests an appeal to the “conscience” of the totalitarians, with the request that they return the children of Greece to their homes so that they can live among their own people and grow up in the land of their parents. We have no accurate information as to the number of children abducted _ by the Communists and guerrilla bands that operated in Greece during the _ hectic days that threatened the resistance of that country. Nevertheless, frequent men- tion of the alleged removal of children in- dicates that something of the nature oc- curred. , It is doubtful if any appeal to the Communist nations will have any effect. Efforts in this direction will probably have the same result of appéals already made by the United Nations and the In- térnational Red Cross. Nevertheless, they should be made.
