POLITICS AND YOUR MONEY Lost in the welter of news concerning the A-Bomb, the United Nations Conference, and other items of cosmic importance, is a fact which should be known to all the people of the United States. That fact is: this country, for the first time in many years, can have a balanced Fed- eral budget. All the American people should also consider the words of President Truman when he said: "For fiscal 1948 we must plan not only for a balanced budget but for a . . . re- duction of the national debt . . . Sizable debt reduction is nothing short of obligatory." As Time put it, the President's budget policy "might not please practical politicians, but would be applauded by practical fiscal experts." Its principal points are that tax reductions shall not be made at the present time, and that strict economy prevail in government spending. Just what is going to happen to this policy remains to be seen. It is evident that Congress is about as free with the people's money as ever. It is still voting money for needless waterpower developments, to name one source of gigantic waste, and other useless luxuries. This is an elec- tion year, and the boys who want the votes are saying it with the public's dollars. We will have economy in government only if the people make it clear to Congress that unbridled spending is "he road to political defeatand not the road to eternal reelec- tion. And if we don't have government economy, we will have inflation and eventual economic ruin on a scale unprec- edented here. Profligacy can be as destructive to a nation as to an individual. A MODIFIED OPA The recently enacted OPA bill is a compromise between those who believe the office should be indefinitely continued in its old form, and those who believe that the time fop governmental tinkering with the law of supply and de- mand is over. It is obviously designed as a sort of transi- tional measure, to bridge the change from a government- dominated war economy to a free enterprise peacetime economy. The most important new feature is its establishment of a three-man "decontrol" board with powers superior to those of the OPA administrator. The job of this board will be to remove controls from commodities when supply is in sufficient quantity so that the free market will auto- matically assure fair prices. If the board does that job successfully, it will be of immense aid in getting this coun- try back to its traditional ways of doing business. .In the meantime, the consumers of the nation must realize that the basic solution to inflation lies not in law, but in vastly stimulated production and distribution. So long as the supply of available goods is below demand, we will continue to have black markets. So long as labor trou- bles, governmental interference, or anything else blocks the production machine, an out-of-line price problem will con- tinue to be a major factor in our national life. The distributive machine is doing a fine job, and it is ready to do still better when goods again become plentiful. Firms, have consistently worked against price increases. [systems, ,.have eoniistently worked against price increases. They cannot, of ourse, prevent price increase made neces- sary by higher wage, supply and tax costs. But they are a constant guaranis of the lowest price for what you buy, consistent with the: economic conditions of the time.

Joe Marsh( Are Returning Veterans "Different"? During the war you heard a lot about how hard it was going to be for returning veterans to get ad- justed to civilian life . . . how they'd be "different." Well, plenty of them have re- turned to our town, and a finer, steadier bunch you couldn't ask for.. Most of them are back at the same jobs.., going vith the same nice home-town girls (get- ting inarried, some of them, and setting up families) ... renewing the same old friendships. Even their amusements are the same. Nothing more exciting than fishing Seward's creek or pitch- ing horseshoes . . . enjoying an outdoor barbecue with friendly wholesome beer and plcasant talk. If they've changed at all it's in the direction of maturity and ton cranes.., tolerance for everything except dictators, and those who would destroy our democratic principles of live and let live. And from where I sit, that's another reason to be proud of them.
