Your Gift Headquarters i Walking Shorts Solids and Plaids Sport Shirts Regular and Tapered All Sizes And Colors We Americans have become the most extravagant people In the world. We seem to agree with the Seotlsh lady Mffio spoke to me at Loch Lo mond. I was waiting to go by the Lake to the bus that would meet the boat and take us to Glasgow. She asked many questions about the United States, see ing that I was in uniform, and my somewhat brief state ments seemed to appall her and she said “Oh, you Amer icans love so much.” Yea verily, and we think so, too We have so much that the sky is the limit. So much credit, whether In merchandise or money, will develop into a rude avraken- ing. The Government of the Uni ted States leads in our incred ible extravagance and Presi dent Johnson seems to have no real understanding of the danger through he talks about it. Can you reconcile with any degree of sound statesman ship the suggestion that housekeepers curtail meals while the Government of this Nation is pouring out billions of dollars here on somewhat fanciful illusions and contin ues to spend billions on main taining Armies in Europe, Asia, Africa and elsewhere, possibly in the moon. Does not even the merest elementary wisdom suggest that we curtail all unneces sary Federal expenditures? Does it not seem quite ridi culous to suggest that house keepers curtail food provision while the Government seems to dwell in the etherial atmos-. phere of star-gazing? Many now say, as I’ve in timated. that we are having a splurge of unwise financing. We all know, of course, that we have commercial banks Primarily as institutions of credit, though the safety fea ture is highly important. Credit, then, is at the very base of our prosperity, but credit, like heavy, overeating, can be abused. Read the papers and ob serve- all the money lending institutions in the land, a ver-’ itable nest of them. To think soberly, vast sums might be lent profitably, building homes, for example, but even that runs wild, too. Nearly everybody seems disposed to borrow; and the lenders are just as eager to lend. We might distinguish be tween investment, construc tive borrowing and the care less indulgence of individuals whose borrowing has no sub stantial basis, if we borrow in order to use the money con structively or at a profit, that is one thing; and if we borrow to gratify whims that is trend ing to what is called inflation. Now everybody is discus sing inflation. What is it? You see it every day. When I was a lad clerking in a grocery store we sold dry salt meat for five cents to six and a half cents apound. That meat to day is selling for eight or ten times more. That is a sign of inflation. A pair of shoes sold for five dollars — .good shoes, a few years ago. It now is anything from ten dol lars to twenty dollars. We once built a cozy little frame house for three thous and dollars; today that house would cost eight thousand or more. Inflation can creep upon us or attack with great energy and force, until after a while our income seems pitifully small even for ordinary slap#- les of life. I repeat what every one knows, that with the disas trous leadership of our Con- • gress, oqr States, Counties and Cities — and we our selves, are all on a spending spree. . • “Lurleen Wallace crushed Alabama moderates in a land slide victory. '■ • The wife of the state’s seg- • negationist governor got near ly 400,000 votes in winning the Democratic nomination to succeed her husband. The clo sest of her nine rivals, State Attorney General Richmond Flowers, got only about 143,-! 000. 'Mrs. Wallace’s triumph was seen as an endorsement * of Gov. Wallace’s antbFed- eral policiety He’s barred by law from succeeding himself but hopes to continue running the state through his wife. More surprising that Mrs. Wallace’s easy win was the lack of success by Negro can didates,, qvsn-in areas where Negroes can OMtvts -whites. Of more than a Seoee of Ne- — groes running, none won a clear-cut victory. More than a dozen Negroes face runoff contests against white oppon ents May 31. Most Civil - rights leaders saw the results as proof that racism is a long way from dead <n Dixie and that Ne groes have far to go before they’ll play a prominent role in Southern politics.” “High speed traiii) service between New York and Wash ington is to be provided by the Pennsylvania RaHroad under a Commerce Depart ment contract. Hourly ser vice is to begin in October 1967 using self - propelled electric cars that will make the 226-mile trip in less than three hours at speeds dp to HO mph. The demonstration project contemplates speeds up to 150 mph by 1970.” It must be very comforting to be as ignorant of rudimen tary Economics as some of our leaders are, apparently, for if they are not grossly wrong when they misjudge all the rest of us and are advoca ting a lot of trials and triv ialities that are nauseating to sound people. Our nation is going — and has gone — down the road to what seems to me a phase of imbecility almost beyond ser ious contemplation.
