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.

M 0 W / || 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 a lasting gift for the whole family, mind on the role of the Navy in peace and war..And, though the day is past, the importance of a great Navy in the pres- Luxurious Upholstery in several rich ent troubled world should not be forgotten by the American 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.

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 We have a large collection of Swing Rockers by Biltwell far better off now. The cost of commodities has gone up in spite of, not because of, the efforts of industry to keep prices including the Famous Zephyr Rocker . . . A Gift that from getting out of line. No manufacturer wants to see will be cherished throughout the years, his customers priced 6ut of the market. No stgrekeeper ' whether he sells food or clothing or anything else, ants to see consumers forced into buying less. That feeling is from$49,S0 up shared by great manufacturers and small producers--and, on the distribution end, by the big can, systems and the little 'stores alike.
