Next year is big elec tion year and nothing will be done to antagonize the organized labor vote or the heavy Western farmer voting strength. All of this talk about lower prices is ounk, for every housewife knows they have not fallen, that the rate of rise has tapered off just a little. With billions being poured into defense appropriations, and much of it un necessary, there is not the slightest likelihood of price reductions. The President needs no more pow er Stalin ha& far too much. Hitler had too much. Concentration of power in Washington constitutes the greatest threat to liberty in this country aside from that presented by Soviet Russia. Look at England. The cost of government there has al ready reached 40 per cent and has brought an end to private initiative. What is happening here? The cost of government in Washington has gone from 10 per cent to 25 per cent of the national income. If we go on at the rate we are now traveling, we may go to 40 per cent and that soon. Artificial price controls will never cure inflation. Theorists feed us de ceptive ballyhoo when they say they will. President Truman’s power over the lives of the American peo ple should be curbed drastically rather than expanded. baton, the meetings were a written- in-Moscow farce.

Having embarked on the Morality At Low Ebb William A. Boyle, chairman of the Democratic (so-called) National committee, has gotten into the lime light on charges that he used his in fluence to help secure a $565,000 RPC loan for a St. Louis firm. The charge was made recently by the f^t. Louis Post-Dispatch in a series of stories in which it said Boyle was paid $8,001 for his services from the printing firm securing the loan. The firm, it is-reported, since 1949, aided by 6t. Louis politicians, has received Korean war, we have no alternative but to fight. The emphasis now must be to get the fighting over with, as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is interesting to recall the dif ferences between the Truman and MacArthur policies, in the light of the failure at Keasong. The Truman policy was and is a limited war, based on *the supposi tion that peace could be made with the Communists before the conflict “got out of hand.” The expectation of the Truman- ites was that the Communists even-' tu^lly would be willing to accept a stalemate, with a re-division of Ko rea along a militarily defensible line near the 38th parallel. That expectation now has been exploded. The MacArthur policy was to h:t the Communists with everything we could spare, and to get the Chinese Nationalists into the fighting on our side. MacArthur, who understands the Orient, put no faith in negoti-j ations of any sort with the Chinese Communists. Basically, then, Mr. Truman be lieved the war could be ended by negotiating with the Communists. Gen. MacArthur believed only by beating the Communists the war could be ended. The negotiations have failed. The war, which was started on Mr. Tru man’s decision, not on Gen. MacAr- thur’s decision, goes on. Failure at Kaesong was failure of; Mr. Truman’s theory that the United Mrs. Walter Byars is serving as principal of the school and Mrs. I James Mitchell as supervisor.
