he learned that only in getting righ
with God could he teach trans
gressors God's ways. 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.

Pres.dent Truman thgiks we

ng spree by pouring nine billion dol

three years. This he said in his re

would spend the country into pros

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

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

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
