Genuine con fession is essential to true service. Only they whose lives are above re proach should dare to serve in God's name. Too often the work of the kingdom is attempted by men and women whose manner of living does not prepare them for such high serv ice. Let confession be made, where needed, not only for the joy and wellbeing of those who confess but; also for the blessing of God upftn their work as they serve others.

This he said in his re cent message to Congress would take up the slack in employment which ' might” come. The president would spend the country into pros perity. although he was now talk- :\g about a depression after his ad- •• • . . sit: mo mm . to almost every other commodity. Such a state of affairs—if they con tinue long enough—will bring on radical inflation and completely wreck our economy. Fear of just such a result at last led President Truman to request of congress, pow ers to check spiraling prices. Fortun ately. our old friend, "demand and supply” upon whom we can always depend—stepped in just in time to prevent the delegation of these so cialistic prerogatives to our already semi-socialized state. The President a few days ago sent a midyear econom ic report to congress proposing much anti-deflation legislation, but he stuck by his big spending program for the fiscal year 1950 He said he would continue with deficit finan cing. which in plain language means to continue to spend more than the government takes in and to make up the difference by borrowing. He did turn about face on his proposal for four billion dollars in new taxes to be spent when enough senators An ally showed enough backbone to de- 1 mand a cutting down on expenses, because they are hearing from the people back home Now the Presi dent »ays he will carry tne spending | battle to the people But in his radio address a few nights ago on the economic situation he overlooked the important thing, cutting federal raxes, a# hi- Vice-President Barkley i. i . . h.'

Four years ago the USA wis Tnt most powerful and most potentially feared nation on earth, even in spite of the astounding concessions made gress and stabilized conditions. A re adjustment is inevitable. Our problem will not be solved by government spending and domina tion. Mass buying is what makes to Stalin by Messrs Roosevelt and U' 6 " high a level, mass buying ceases, and Churchill, and at Potsdam by Pres ident Truman. The weak and illog ical attitude of the leaders of the western bloc astounded their peo ples and deprived them, to a large extent, of the courage which great leadership inspires. Today Pan-Slavism is an accom plished fact. All the Slav nations— and some not all Slav—are in the Kremlin's pocket, making a power ful bloc from which to operate. And still the most weird things abe happening. Having been most helpful in obtaining what appears when prices recede to a normal level, mass buying is renewed—unless in the meantime, the population gets panicky and talks itself into a real depression. And this very thing has occurred upon many occasions in economic history. We must abandon the drift to a totalitarian state, directing the lives and activities of the American peo- j-J pie. And it is complete nonsense to 2 say that the government cannot cut X its expenses. ^ *]} A gradual, sound readjustment of g healthy to be 'a victory for the Communist our economic status is a healthy partv m China, ' democracy" is al- s1 ^- And if we have a real disas- | ♦rruic Honrpccinn yl'1 1 1 I'irdPlv ZZ ready beg.nning to discuss the ef- lects of recognition of a Red regime for that nation.
