the same is true in this country. We
rre fighting in Korea, on orders of
President Truman and not a 'decla
ration of war by Congress. And what
hrve we accomplished other than
the killing of our young men, with
casualty lists mounting grimly.
We hope Mr. ChurchilUs visit "will
bring about closer wartime ties and
a firmer and sounder/policy,, as to
the future. ,We trust lie is not com

Penny Postcard Goes
The traditional penny postcard
with the coming of the new year
vanished from use by the American
public. Trom how on when you write
a postal it .will cost you two cents to
stnd it through the mail, the doub->
ling of the cost being approved by
th*e recent .Congress: Nothing yhich
government controls goes down—
but up. and then goes up again. Some
other postal prices have also risen,
the three-cent rate for letters re
maining intact, however, since it has
not been so long since the two cents
■cost was raised to tfireei
The penny postcard has been a con
venient, useful item in the home and
for business. The public will hate to
set it go since it has served a place
of usefulness for short messages.
One of the results will be the writ
ing of longer messages and using
them with envelopes and get priv
acy for an additional pennyi The.
postoffice department, which needs
to be streamlined and modernized to
reduce expenses and increase effi
ciency, is operating with a deficit of
five hundred million dollars annual
ly. The rate on postcards has gone
up to help, pay for the ^increased
iosts of the department we are^tpld.
Anyway, fts good-by Mr. (Perl'
Post, you have b een a handy little
iiellow and there are millions whp
■will join in rg^retting your passing.
A ShiWd Crowd
Trie leaders of |he big labor mon
opolies/are very shrewd. They have
at their disposal ample funds to hire
ixpcr/s in public finance. They
large/y control, the present Adminis
tration at Washington, .and have
numerous congressmen and others at
their beck and call. In view of these
facts, it r§ not surprising that they
have developed what, on its face,
seems to be'' v atu v urcbeatabJe plan for
relieving their membership of the
unpleasant necessity of helping to
pay the hugtp 9 costs eptailed by our
endeavors to outdo the Russians in
war preparations. Their prize card
is to push wage rates up at least
enough to offset the recent advance
in the income taxes of persons re
ceiving incomes below $5,000, with
further demands 4nade also upon
employers. They are a greedy, fricky
crowd, and are out to imlke other
citizens bear all waf costs. ;Govern-
ment helps and encourages them.
cn the high waters enroute to the
United States for talks with Presi
dent Truman which he hopes will
bring a new deal in Irtish-Ameri
can relations. It is .to be hoped by
the American taxpayers that this is
the chief purpose of his mission
rather than fighting for new and fast
agreements on our nation’s part.
Mr. Churchill, who now at the age
of 77 finds himself at the head -of
the British Government, . has had
conferences here and elsewhere with
the late President Roosevelt in
which it was always reported that he
was the best trader. It is his view
now that Britain and the United
Legislature To Meet
Next Tuesday the General Assem-
jbly of South Carolina will convene
^i. Columbia in what will' be, judg-
! ing by the past—a long, expensive
[and controversial session.
) Its members will be presented a
| general state appropriation bill for
; 1952-53 of $140 million dollars in
tended to support an all-over 'state
i budget in excess of $180 million, the
[difference in the two large figures to
be met with the gas tax apd other
estimated revenues, Last year when
the body rpet it was given a $130
million proposed spending bill,
which shows no relief for taxpayers.
The sales tax, purposely underesti
mated when enacted, has proven, as
we said then—just aribther tax. Pri
marily enacted we were told to
spend millions on Negro .schools,
what reduction has it brought us in
other tax fields. Why aren’t taxpay
ers given full credit on state income
taxes for money paid in federal in
come taxes? You know the answer.
And watch what ^trill happen to the
big sales tax surplus. Hands will be
reaching in for it. If it produces ten

The Presidential Ring
Harold Stassen’s hat is now defi
nitely in the Republican Presiden
tial ring for the 1952 compaign. With
lis announcement this week there
.now three candidates in Ui£_jU
infield, Stgssenr^Senator
Robert AT'Taft and Gov. Earl War
ren of California. And perhaps Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower may be per
suaded to enter the race, bringing
the number to four. Senator Taft in
our opinion, is the best qualified
man’in the field for this responsible
position which has suffered for years
for a lack of able leadership and
proper ideals.
Over in the Democratic camp.
President Truman is still the $64
question. He says what he plans to
do is a secret, and that he is not go
ing to tell anybody now. Our guess
is that he will run, in fact that he
has been running ever since by ac
cident he came into office. It was an
expensive accident for the American
people.
The Democratic party (so-called)
has been a one-ntan affair since
Roosevelt was first elected. Seeking
a seebnd, third and fourth term—he
had no idea of retiring. No outstand
ing leader of the party was allowed
to be “groomed” as his successor.
The same is true of Truman. To
the leaders of the big city machines
>and thousands intrenched in office,
ne is indispensable, necessary to the
salvation of America.
God pity us if he runs and is re
elected to direct the course of our
nation for another teryn. Our high
cost of living and increased taxes,
and debt, the war in Korea, the al-
>»ost every-day exposure of crime
and corruption and political in
fluence peddling, lias brought us
nothing but trouble and disgrace. We.
do not believe our economy can
last anotherTfQMc years under Tru-
mah andjws^croi.ies.
