COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
“Inflation” has become a much overworked word. A
highly placed man contends that an increase of six dollars
a ton for steel will not be inflationary. Well an increase of
six dollars a ton for some kind of old-fashioned soothing
syrup might not be inflationary, or even six dollars more
for fifty gallons, notwithstanding the increase in the number
of babies, because the use of soothing syrup is relatively
limited in quantity for the individual. Perhaps you never
heard of soothing syrup. You may be of the generation of
babies or mothers accustomed to “shots” of one sort or an
other. Steel enters into so many articles that the increase
of six dollars a ton might involve only a small sum of money.
A six-dollar-a-ton increase for a ton of steel would not af
fect us like one cent a pound increase on flour, or beef, but
if it lead to any increase, however small, it would be infla
tionary in its essence. What is real inflation? The Federal
Reserve Board now charges member banks a higher rate
of interest on loans. If a merchant buys a $100,000,000 of
merchandise, borrowing the money, and pays a higher rate
of interest he must charge that to the consumer. That be
comes inflationary all down the line, everyone adding some
thing because of the higher interest. But the Federal
Board seems to think this will curb inflation. How? Only
by discouraging loans. If too stringent a policy is follow
ed on loans our prosperity will be affected because we do
business largely on borrowed money.
Everybody operates on faith. If everybody confined his
operations to the cash he had we should dry up economically
in a few months. Money is like food; it must be used mod
erately and never with a strain on digestion.
At any rate the w r ord “Inflation” now covers a multitude
of sins: If we increase taxes—that is certainly inflationary
because it will be passed on; if we have harsh regulations
they may be inflationary; if you increase the interest rate,
that is increasing the price of money, and that must be
passed on, so that is inflationary.
You have heard that a mild degree of Inflation is a good
thing. Well what is a mild degree of inflation? And how do
we keep it mild? If we increase wages, that must be pass
ed on, so that is more inflation.
No one says this, so far as I know, but if we have high
er prices for' crops that is inflationary, too.
While we are in the mood to discuss inflation everything
may be inflationary, including higher prices for farms and
and building lots. “Uncle Sam” has increased some postal
rates. And that, too, is inflationary.
Our foreign-aid program seems to me the wildest dream
of ordered minds. We seem to have visionaries in charge
of National Affairs and the Congresshasn’t the wisdom or
the courage to stop the ridiculous throwing away of Amer
ican tax-money.
“President Eisenhower was scheduled to make another
/appearance on television; his aim, to forestall cuts in the
$3.8 billion foreign aid request made to Congress as part of
his record $72 billion budget.
Now, starting with Lend-Lease, foreign aid has been with
us in some form for almost 20 years. Never has a country
poured out so much to so many peoples beyond its borders,
gpr giuch of that period the time-honored American position
of concentrating on domestic affairs and avoidance of the
foreign entanglement has been deeplysubmerged.
A one-time foreign aid advocate, though a less-enthus
iastic one, is Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming. He declared
that the Administration was neglecting America and taking
care of the other nations of the world. *
Reasons for the disillusionment of the people are not hard
to pin down. It is not just that taxes continue at a high level.
It is not just that inflation coiitinues to chip away at salar
ies and savings. There is the over-riding fact that foreign
aid just hasn’t seemed to have gotten the country anywhere.
Just since the end of World War 11 some $55 billion has
been rushed abroad, much of it to ‘hold back Communism.
But where Communism has been ‘held back’ there ij the
very great question of whether it wouldn’t have been held
back anyway. And in some places where contributions have
been made, the people there have come to regard the aid as
a permanent price for not going Communist. Then there are
cases-as in the middle East recently-where offers of aid
have been more embarrassing to anti-Communist forces than
of help to them; offers of dollars were offered as proof by
pro-Reds that the U. S. was about to take over the country.
Certainly the record is not a clear one. But it is just as
clear that sweeping assertions that this or that appropriation
is sacrosanct because it will ‘hold back Communism’ are not
enough. Clearly wh&t the people require aresome specific
examples of how foreign aid has done what it was supposed
to do.
The Administration must have some favorable examples to
set against the case of Indonesia-freed as a Dutch colony
from the Japanese with American help, backed in its drive
for independence from the Dutch by this country, granted
dollar help and now-so its leaders announce-looking to Mos-
WHAT EVERY MOTHER KNOWS
cow for precept in moulding it-self into a nation.
In grappling with the realities of today’s foreign affairs
the public has begun to ask some questions. If there is reason
why we should now provide the additional billions being
asked, the President should supply it—with a detailed run
down of facts and figures, of who has been saved from what
and by whom. Ringing slogans, after 20 years of them,haVe
lost their impact on the American people.”
If that doesn’t cover the ground, here is something more
“The United States started extending foreign aid forty
years ago, at the beginning of World War I. Aid extended
during the First World War was in the form of loans, most
of which remain unpaid today. The present amount of unpaid
principal and interest on these loans as carried on the Gov
ernment’s books amounts to about $18 billion—and it' had
just as well be written off as a bad account.
During the Second World War, most of the aid was in the
form of lend-lease and gifts, amounting to about $40 billion.
Since this War, gifts of economic aid have been made
amounting to almost $28 billion and military aid of a little
over $18 billion.
During and since World War 11, loans have been made
totaling more than $11 billion. These loans are perhaps just
as doubtful in value as those made during World War 1.
This makes a total of $15 billion of foreign aid extended
by the United States during the past forty years.
Of this aid, more than $38 billion went to Britain, almost
$13 billion to France, almost $12 billion to Russia, more than
$5 billion to Italy, more than $4 billion to Germany, $2 and
one-half billion each to China and Japan, and so on down the
line.
One might say, of course, that we had to get into both
World Wars—to make the world safe for democracy in the
first one, and to ‘win, the war to end all wars’ in the second
one. That statement could be argued at length. For instance,
just look where our foreign aid has gone in several cases.
Germany, our enemy in both wars, has received more
than $4 billion. Dollars have been used to rebuild her fact
ories, her huge war m ts have been wiped out, she is re
quired to spend very 1 . i e on defense. The same application
can be made to Italy—i re than $5 billion—and to Japan—
$2 1-2 billion—both oi wmch were enemies in one of the
wars. As a result, our i nds during both wars, such as
Great Britian, are sufic.^g severely from industrial com
petition—which has required us to help them even more.
And look at Russia—*..m.:st $12 billion—the most deadly
enemy freedom has in uus world. The communists would
destroy our way of life at the slightest opportunity. We
gave China $2 1-2 billion u..d then betrayed her to commun
ism. We have given communist Yuogoslavia aid, and now
we are talking about aid rqr communist Poland. We have
extended aid and are considering aid for various and sundry
other totalitarian type governments. How foolish can we get?
Another foolish venture of our National leaders is the
headlong plunge into the electric power business. Is the Nat
ion trying to control power ? Well, let it take over the big
oil companies, with all the oil wells. Let us take over the
coal mines and all the Nau:ral and artificial gas business.
If we do all that > why not start from the ground up? Let
us. operate all production, including agriculture, of course,
and collect all the billions for the Government through
higher prices. Let us do aw^ay with all taxes because we
shall do away with taxpayers.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
I’ve been telling you of that
goat, my most prized posses
sion as I grew up in the Stone
Hills of the Dutch Fork.
As he got older, he got mean
to all except me, and he’d
chase the other kids. Our house
was high enough off the ground
so when I went in it, he went
under it. There he could watch
the steps and I couldn’t get
away from him.
Our creek was a mile down the
hill from home. Although he
didn’t like water, my goat just
had to go everywhere with us.
So he joined us on our daily
summer excursions to the creek.
He was so annoying to the other
boys and kept after them so,
they walked out in the woods a
piece, and the goat and I walk
ed majestically down the foot
path together.
When we’d all get in the wat
er, he would bleat on the bank
and go from one side to the
other, trying to keep closer to
us. Occasionally several of the
larger boys would hem him up,
drag him to the very water’s
edge, and give him a shove. Al
though our swimming hole there
in a curve of the creek was
about 30 feet across, when he
saw he was going in anyway,
he’d crook his back and give one
mighty lunge and try to jump )
it. That landed him about 10
feet out, in the deepest part.
Then he’d swim desperately for
the shallow bank, go out in a
sunny spot, shake himself, and
keep his distance for awhile.
But each time we returned, he
seemed to have forgottten, and
got trapped there on the bank
again.

Prosperity School
Mollohon School
We have some out-and-out Socialists; we have some Conv-
munists, too; but most of the Socialists are putting on
a great nitrate plant was started there for the use of the
standing example is the T. V. A. In the First World War
a great nitrate plant was started there for the use o the
War Services. Later our Government swallowed the Com
munist program, that part of it to control electric power.
The Government (National and State) has control of
the Electric power business through taxation and regulat
ion. But the so-called Public Power is scarcely controled,
regulated or taxed. Anyone with a modicum of intellingence
can quickly grasp that the Government is providing the
capital and losing the taxes on Public Power. And the
chief beneficiaries are chosen for cheaper power at the
cost of their neighbors.
