THE PRESS- HERE AND IN RUSSIA
The enormous difference between the Russian and the
American ideas of government is perfectly illustrated by
the recent denunciations of our press by high Soviet offi-
cials, and their demand that restrictive measures be taken
to stop "unfair" critcism of Russia.
The Soviet spokesmen seem to be .all in favor of a
"free press"--so long as its comment agrees with their
curmus ideas of right and wrong. In Russia, the press is
"free" to print governmenVinspired editorials and official
handouts from the Politburo, the Foregin Office and the
Kremlin. If the slightest deviation from the party line is
found in a Russian newspaper, 'the usual practice is to send
the editor in charge on a long voyage from which there
is no returning.
The Russians may be perfectly sincere when they say
they cannot understand American newspapers. This is one
of very few nafions lefton the face of the earth where any
editor, so long as he stays within the laws covering libel
and other crimes, can say what he pleases. The Russians
seem to think that the growing criticism'of Soviet actions in
our press is the result of orders fromthe government. Noth-
ing, as every American kfiovs, could be ftirther from the
1ruth. It is, o the contrary, the simple, consequence of the
fact that the majority of editors believe that the principles
underlying U. :S. 'foreign policy are correct and inevitafle.
The fr.ee press is he basis of all other freedoms. De-
tfucfion of the+rfght to drtidize, tospek one s 'mind, must
be followed 'by the destruction ,of free governmimt, free en-
terpri'Se, freedom of religion. The Soviet press is used as
a "W. eap0n to "tiirn 'the :Riissin people, into mental robots
and 'to 'make evhry man an0 Woman slavishly think alike
and repeat the. same phrases. The RusSiins don't realize
it, but their :recent 'violent denunciations of the American
press area 'fine tribute :to 'it-and to the system of govern-
ment which mares its existence possible.
NO PROFITEERING
The Congressional :hearingi on commodity prices
should serve at least one good puipose. They are illuminat-
!ng, with official testimony, the true role of the retailer
m our competitive ec6nomy.
All of the evidence--from labor leaders, representatives
of c0nsumeri, and others, as well as refailers themselves--
indicates that generally, retailing has not profiteered, nor
has it in any way inflilenced price i.nflation. Scattered excep-

NAVY'S JOB EXTENDED
' A short time ago Navy Day was officially observed
These Fine Suites by Biltwell make throughout the country. It served to refresh the national

the day is past, the importance of a great Navy in the pres-

colors from which to choose, people whom it serves and protects. "
The old concept of a Navy as a collection of surface
ships .is obsolete today. The modern Navy ]s ,a team that
priced from$179=50 up operates in the air, and below the seas as we!l as on them.
Every element of this tem, from subrhril/es to carrier-
based fighting planes to battleships, must be strong and
efficient. A Weakness in any department might prove dis-
The Navy's duty is to keep the sea lanes ope and to
implement the foreign and ddmestic poItcies Of bur goern-
, ment. The British economic crisis has Be0me a factor here.
, Of necessity, 'Britain 'has substantially 'rdilced her naval
force, and we can no longer count On the iinmediate aid of
a great British fleet in an emergency. We must depend al-
most entirely,upon our own naval st#ength.

GOVERNNT AND BREAD AND BUTTER
It is pidb:ble that a very S/hall minority of the people
[.
realize t0 + wht extent the cost of goveniment enters :into
present day living costs.
The Tax Foundatioh recently published a remarkable
comparison of the c0st of 'fodd ndthe c0s: t of the :Federtl
government, which wa prep'arecl by the Chief of the St.
,Louis Star-Times Washington bureau. The comparison
shows that government ebstsexclug!ve of war activities
increased from $4,000,000,000 in 1929)/0 $211000,000,000
in 1946. In the same pHdd;, food Costs !reased from
$20;000,000,000 to $43,000,000,000. And, in !946, retail food
store sales came to $2,000,000,000which was only $3,-
000,000,000 there 'than 'the €ost of the Federal government,
not counting war expenditures. These figures, it should be
emphasized, do not include the cost of state and local gov-
ernments.
IVs a sure bee that if the government had done s
much to hold flown costs as has American business, We'd be
