(The Marshall plan proposes that the United States give Eu rope help for four years and three months In rebuilding its war-shattered business and eco nomic structure. When President Truman first presented It to Con gress, the cost was estimated at ,17,(100,000,000. '." (Since then, all figures except for the first 15 months have been dropped from pending legislation. The administration asks St,800, 000,000 for the first 15 months). - Reed spoke from a background as a businessman who has spent four of the last seven years in government service. For a year Jind a half he was with the War Production Board In Washington and for two and a half years in - England as deputy and then chief of the U. S. mission for economic affairs In London. He has made four trips to Europe since the war. . Raanna Advanced Reed said no one can figure Marshall plan costs accurately, lor these reasons: American prices have not been stabilized and no one knows where they will be in two or three years. Good weather will mean a big difference in European food need he said. And a third factor. Reed said. Is that "Russia will do everything In her power to saliotage our program." ' Reed said that if the Marshall plan Is not approved and Eu rope does go Communist he si-es this prospect lor the United States: minima more exoendlturcs re quired for American military de fenses, perhaps a DO per cent boost In this outlay. i:roatlv reduced trade with the rest of the world with American living standards Buffering.

STANTON A Roseburg man who has had much experience in finan cial affairs and who, as a result, has a better than average understanding of economics, related to us that he was re cently discussing federal government economy with a friend. He was pointing out our huge national debt, continued high rate of federal spending, waste of funds, and the need for a lowered tax rate, etc. He was interrupted in the midst of the discussion by a young man whose thoughts were ex pressed somewhat as follows: "Listen, sir; aren't we more prosperous now than we've ever been before? "You're an old man. You've seen good times and bad. Have you ever seen a time when people were better off than they are now when wages were as high, and so few people out of jobs? We don't have to work hard these days to make a good living, "What's caused this condition? I'll tell you what caused it. Spending! That's what did it. We spend money and that way we make money. So let's keep on spending." Our friend asked him if he realized what the national debt means to him, and asked, too, if he believed we could con tinue spending forever without reaching the breaking point and encountering financial disaster. "What do we care about the national debt?" rer'.ied the young man. "Spending makes prosperity. If we're threat ened with depression we can increase our spending." The theories held by this young man are shared by a great segment of our population today and these same theories will have a determining effect upon forthcoming national elections. The political program followed in this nation for many years has been one of increasing centralization of authority and making the government as remote from the people as possible, instead of keeping government close to the people as intended by the Constitution. The purpose is accomplished by beneficence, to soothe people into a false sense of security, while hiding the cost. We complain of the high cost of living, but how many people realize they are paying more for government than for food? How many people realize or care that the na tional debt has placed a mortgage in excess of $2,000 on every man, woman and child in the country? Who cares how the government wastes money as long as wages are high? On the Tualatin River, one of the most picturesque streams of Oregon, Army engineers have prepared plans and are nearly ready to start work on a job which would confine the beautiful winding stream to a straightaway con crete ditch, 15 miles long, with all vegetation removed for a distance of 60 feet on each side, and a high vermin proof fence to keep out animals. Construction cost is variously estimated at from $13 million to $36 million and the annual maintenance cost is estimated at around $800,000. The benefits would provide partial flood control over 20,000 acres of farm lands where annual damage is estimated at $150,000. Thus the federal government would spend millions of dollars and incur annual expense of $800,000 to offset an average yearly loss of $150,000. This is only one minor sample of federal economy. But because we are lulled into belief that all is well with the world, Bimply because we are living prosperously, we give only passing, casual thought to waste and extravagance. We have lost habits of thrift and personal independence our heritage of honest endeavor through operation of fed eral paternalism. History points out the eventual outcome. A people who grow supine and submissive to government become slaves to government. When the time for reckoning arrives, dic tatorship is certain to follow. The few people willing to speak out for economics in gov ernment and for responsibility to the jieople, are cried down by those drugged by the narcotic palliative of paternalism.

Stephens Auto Union's Plan To Demand Third Pay Boost Rapped CHICAGO (.f) M. O. Ander son, president of the National Automobile Dealers Association, said the "cloud" of the industrial horizon is "the threatened de mand" of Walter Reuther, presi dent of the CIO United Auto Workers, lor a third round ol wage increases. "Any distorted adjustment of our economy now might throw us back into the slouch of de pression," Anderson, of Seattle, said in an address to the asso ciation's annual convention. "Volume production and stable economy is the only answer to the highly dangerous business situation this country and the world now face. And If our econ omy should crash, world failure would follow. "Lalior leaders generally, and not Reuther alone, should reflect carefully upon the ruin pressure his wiifje raise demands woaia preeipitale. ' "Keutners tneory 01 rasing new demands on temporary in creases in profits ts also cock eyed. Industry cannot level out profits If each year It Is to oe faced by the possibility of three months shutdown and millions of dollars in losses due to labor dis turbances." Anderson contended that the production lost in steel strikes "would have been enough to sup ply the normal demands of all automobile manufacturers for more than three years."

Friendship Train Gives Pope Hopes VATICAN CITY, Jan: 27. (JF Pope Pius XII said today he hopes the American "friendship train is a herald ol a new birth of generosity everywhere. The Pontiff received JO mem bers of the "friendship train" or ganization for Italy in an audi ence and told them: "In the midst of daily accounts of international distrust and sus picion reported by the press in this aftermath of the war, there are ako incidents of a more en couraging nature. Such a cheer ing contrast has been the con ception of the idea of the 'friend ship train'. "It is our hoie that this praise worthy gesture may be the prom ise of a new birth of generosity of heart everywhere in the world to lead men into the ways of traternal love under God and thus to lasting peace."
