WASHINGTON AND
SMALL BUSINESS
i
A heartening development has
occurred in Washington. As a re
sult, there is greater optimism
over free enterprise future.

This conclusion follows an
nouncement four major airlines
will carry mail over certain
routes at re
duced rates on
year’s experi
mental basis.

controlled by bureaucratic edict;
that Post Office losses which
started ballyhoo for rate increas
es is tied into same picture.

First the Senate Small Busi
ness Committee held extensive
hearings on situation. Then per
tinent parts of testimony were
published over nation, chiefly in
independent weekly newspapers.
SOS
Hearings revealed that instead
of seeking bids on open market
for air service, both rates and
subsidies the Post Office must
pay were set down by edict of
Civil Aereonautics Board,

Public reaction to this disclos

immediately it was announced
that some 9M-mUllon in air mall

be paid by CAB who mus* get
money from Congress if it can.

Immediately on heels of this
disclosure, it was announced four
major airlines will carry ail
first class mail they have room
for between Washington and New
York and Chicago for a rate of
18.86 and 20.04 cents per ton mile.
• • *
As yet, the independents, or
irregulars, cannot carry mail.
In fact, CAB has never permitted
them a hearing on matter.
* * *
Railroads who receive rate es
timated slightly above 16 cents
per ton mile are concerned. Com
petition could lower rail rates,
too.
* * *
Thus it is possible that if free
competition is made to prevail.
Post Office deficit will turn out
nothing more than wasteful op
eration forced on a major veter
an government department by
“Johnny-come-lately” bureaus.
*' • o
The rapid sequence of events
establishes that an energetic and
sincere Senate Small Business
Committee, and House Small
Business Committee can get the
facts revealed, and disclosure of
these facts in the independent
American press composed al
most entirely of the nation’s
weekly and small dailies, will do
much to guard free enterprise.

BARSON DREAMS OF THE FUTURE

Babson Park, Mas., Dec. 10—I
dream of the use of atomic energy
