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.

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;
