Baruch on America' Future
Old Bernard Baruch, councilor to presidents,
has an article in the current Saturday Evening
Post, "What of the Future?" which ought to b
read by all persons interested In our future
especially by those down at Washington whose
decisions have much to do with determining our
future. Baruch is concerned over the cold war,
xne absence of peace, the fears which prevade
home and business. He calls for stronger peace
planning, and for decisions instead of drifting.
He thinks we are spreading our commitments
out too broadly, at the risk of our economy.
This country," he says "is not strong enough to
hold up the rest of the world Indefinitely."
Baruch calls attention to the diverse ways
Russia and the United States approach the ques
tion of "guns or butter." Russia puts guns first
with the people taking what is left. The United
States puts emphasis on butter and "has produc
ed wonderfully high living levels, dangerously
out of proportion to our low mobilized power."
He thinks it would be better if both nations
moderated their extremes.
Our individual selfishness contributes to our
national insecurity:
"Inflation is the result of each segmant of society
putting its own selfish interest ahead of the nation
al interest. The inflation that has racked the country
since the war's end had its start In the price-control
law of 1942, which let wages run free and farm
E rices rose to 110 per cent of parity. That law legal
:ed inflation."
Then, says Baruch, we threw off price con
trols and reduced taxes too soon.
The administration and congress will do well
to review all our commitments, at home and
broad, put brakes on spending, work aggres
sively for peace, put pressure on other countries
to get off our relief rolls. Baruch closes with
age counsel:
"America has been termed the last hope of the
rest of the world. It is also our own last resort. For
us there can be no Lend-Lease. Peace is our goal
peace of self-respect for the entire world. I be
lieve we can get it by placing ourselves so as not to
dissipate our resources and by uniting' for the com
mon good instead of dividing for selfish advantage.
To adjust to America's new position as the decision
point of the free world will strain our democratic
Institutions to their utmost. We shall not fall if we
remember that all the material baubles for which
we strive have no luster other than that which is
reflected from freedom's light. Banded in common
disciplines to preserve our liberties, we can meet
whatever the future will bring."
Will our. statemen be Intelligent enough to
frame wise decisions and courageous enough to
apply them? And will American citizens be
tough enough to make some real sacrifices to
preserve our democratic Institutions and keep
ur nation strong?
Slum Clearance
The senate has passed a housing bill which
gives promise of clearing up some of our city
alums. Some may object to having government
gp into the housing business it will not do so
directly but will assist local housing authorities
but one who has seen the squalor and decay
of congested city housing areas will rejoice that
finally an attack is being made on this national "
disgrace.
New York has done a pretty fair job of im- -proving

Military Arms Show Signs of Unity
By Joseph Alsep
WASHINGTON, April 22 If
the experience of the 1930's
means anything, nothing could
oe more dan
gerous than to
respond to the
challenge of So
viet rearms
ment by adopt
ing a policy of
collective mili
tary weakness,
s some are
now proposing.
On the other j
hand, it is
. sa
equany oovious . . ,
that when the JPb AhQ
jaaworld situation
must severely strain American
resources in any case, nothing
could be more foolish than to
do the defense job in hand In
wasteful way.
These twin truisms are rele
vant at the moment, because de
velopments at the Pentagon at
last hold out some hope for ra
tional, which means economical,
American defense planning. Af
ter nearly four years of ill -concealed
failure to agree on a uni
fied strategic concept, the joint
chiefs of staff have at last got
down to business. Perhaps they
may fail in their task, which is
essentially to slice away the un
necessary excrescences put out
by each service in order to com
pete with the others. But at any
rate they are trying.
The background of this event
Is interesting and important. The
story may be considered to begin
with the president'r order, plac
ing a $15 billion ceiling on de
fense spending this year. The
order was originally issued last
spring. The grave danger of
lowing the tempo of American
rearmament (which has been the
Immediate effect of this order)
has often been pointed out in
this space. It must be said la
, Justice, therefore, that part of
blame lies with the military
chiefs themselves.

Time was when killing a British sailor, or any
British citizen for that matter, brought the
weight of the British empire on the offending
people. Now the reds in China have killed 44
British seamen and wounded 82 others in shell
ing British ships on the Yangtze river. Britain
Is protesting, but with the nationalist govern
ment helpless and the truculent reds riding high
on victory the protests get no response. The af
fair is unfortunate, for the British ships were
trying merely to protect British subjects in the
renewed civil war. The communist armies re
enforce the repeal of extraterritoriality, with
guns.
We agree with an editor of the N. Y. Times
who writes: "As the cars get bigger and fatter
it behooves the pedestrian to go on a diet to get
thinner and thinner."
Unless rains come, crops in western Europe
will not be as good as last year. That may give
a market for the prospective bumper crop in
North America. It's an ill wind, etc.
They are finding new vitamins faster than
new chemical elements. Latest is B-12, said to
be an anti-anemia factor. Great stuff, eating by

Best teaching opportunities are said to be for
kindergarten and elementary school positions.
The reservoir is starting to fill with those seek
ing secondary and college teaching positions.
An Iowa two-year., old was rescued from a
cesspool by a paperhanger. Luckily it wasn't a
plumber who had to go back for his tools.
From the end of the war on
ward, each service had followed
the practice of preparing its own
Independent program and bud
get. All three programs and bud
getts had then been added to
gether, without reference to any
agreed long-range plan positively
allotting roles and missions to
each service.
There was also something
close to an unspoken rule, that
if one service got a billion, the
others had a right to a billion
also. And violent recriminations
ensued if any service chief tried
to suggest that his colleagues'
plans were a bit ambitions, as
General Carl A. Spaatz did about
the naval air program when re
armament began last spring.
The president's budget ceiling
order should have ended this
state of affairs immediatly. It
did not do so. simply because
the service chiefs shared the
general expectation that tna
occupant of the White House
would not now be Harry S. Tru
man. Consequently, Truman's re
election, and subsequent insist
ence of his budget ceiling, caught
the services totally unprepared.
The outcome was the present
scrambled together military bud
get, which was prepared on the
old principle of "a pistol for the
rat. a pistol for the badger, a
pistol for the mole." ;
Until this time Secretary of
Defense James V. Forrestal had
perforce followed a plan of let
ting time and public opinion
promote service unification. His
detractors, who are either ignor
ant or malicious or both, for
get that if he had adopted
strong-arm methods at the first,
he would have had to put on
the retirement list most of the
American senior officers, espec
ially in the navy.

has blighted areas within a five or ten mile radi
us of the loop. Old multistoried brick houses
built after the great fire of 1871 provide flats
in which thousands of people live. They are de
crepit now, not fit for human habitation. Gar
bage is piled in the alleys. The municipal as well
as the family housekeeping is bad. Other cities
have their slums too.
If to clean up the mess we have to breach
our political theory, then the latter must yield.
Now we'll see if the house strangles the bill aa
It did In the last congress.
Politics With Horseradish
Plain as a pikestaff is the purpose of State
Treasurer Walter E. Pearson's letter to Gover
nor McKay urging him to veto the bill for old
age assistance. It's politics, plain, old-fashioned
politics with horseradish.
The horseradish is for the governor.
Pearson's concern is not so much for the old
people or for the children of the old people over
whom he sheds tears, as for their votes.
A treasurer ought to be concerned with con
serving public funds Leslie Scott was, Walter's
father was. When the state has dealt as consid
erately as it has for its aged people and that
Without benefit of a sales tax to provide oodles

fect on the services that Forres
tal had been hoping for. Early
in December, the joint chiefs of
staff began meeting twice a week
instead of once. In order to get
to real grips with their problem.
Shortly thereafter, on Forresters
motion. General of the Army
Dwlght D. Eisenhower was
brought to Washington to serve
as an impartial arbiter. And the
process was speeded up further,
until it reached the present
tempo of almost continuous hard
work.
If the final decisions are bold
enough, the program of each
service will be exactly tailored
to carry out clearly defined roles
and missions, which will in turn
be determined by agreed, long
range strategic plans. This will
mean more real combat potential
for the money invested.
But there is also another kind
of economy which the services
might investigate, that differs
from the economy derived from
true unification. The army, for
instance, has 10 combat divi
sions out of a total of 692.000
troops and 370,000 civilians in
its employ. The soldiers are the
most expensive in the world.
The civilians are even more
costly than the soldiers. And
there is no defending the ratio
between the total of this ex
pensive manpower and the small
percentage in fully organized
combat units. In this the other
services are also at fault. Per
haps an attempt at more eco
nomical internal organization
will follow the present effort to
achieve true unification.
Meanwhile it is vital to note
that economical military plan
ning is at last being attempted.
The extravagances of the past
must not be used as a sort of
red herring, to confuse the argu
ment about whether Soviet re
armament demands the strength
ening of the west.

A Rebel's Reply
To the Editor:
In reading the letter from
Judge Brand in the Friday morn
ing Statesman anyone who at
tended the April 19 meeting of
the Salem YWCA must be im-
firessed by the evidence that the
earned judge seems to have
missed the boat. In attempting
to catch up he appears to be
floundering in his own argu
ment. The judge states the crux of
the whole problem when he
quotes a statement made at the
meeting, "The National Publie
Affairs Program is so broad that
almost anyone might disagree
with part of it." From there on
the judge seems to have missed
a large part of the debate.
It is not the program which is
objectionable to many YWCA
members but rather the attempt
to get the national group to
ENDORSE the program in its
entirety. We also object to any
attempt being made to pressure
the congress for legislation in
these matters with the argument
that our 300,000 members en
dorse such legislation.
The Salem YWCA voted by
an overwhelming majority to
sponsor a study of the entire
program. We believe that such
a study is an obligation on a
Christian group such as ours.
The need of that study was
brought home to the local group
most forcibly when one of our
local delegates, upon being ques
tioned after her return from the
convention said, "I am so in
experienced in these matters

of a few families and were work
ed by slave labor, and to let the
dispossessed masses share them.
Of the sad lot of these people
Tiberius spoke in a speech:
"The wild beasts of Italy have
their dens and holes and hiding
places, while the men who fight
and die in defense of Italy in
deed enjoy light and air, but
nothing more. Houseless and
without a spot of ground to rest
upon, they wander about with
their wives and children, while
their commanders with a lie in
their mouths exhort the soldiers
in battle to defend their tombs
and temples against the enemy;
for out of so many Romans no
one has a family altar or an an
cestral tomb, but they fight to
maintain the wealth and luxury
of others, and they die with the
title of lords of the earth without
possessing a single clod to call
their own."
Tiberius tried to reenact the
law of Llrinius which limited
holdings to 500 acres and pastur
ing of public lands to 100 cattle
or 500 sheep. He proposed set
ting up a committee of three to
divide surplus lands among the
needy in lots of 30 acres apiece.
Tiberius was the "communist"
of his day and got killed for
his pains. His younger brother
Gaius suffered a like fate a few
years later.
DeGasperi Is responding to an
ancient pressure the demand of
people for land to till. He is
compensating the present holders
nd setting up a state agency to
help the new holders with land
improvements and with their
farm and marketing problems.
Instead of getting mobbed he
may by this action help save
Italy from the communist threat,

tion of land ownership into few

stand all of this program, but
the fact that these good Chris
tian women at the convention
endorsed this program is all that
Is necessary for me.
To study, weigh the evidence
on both sides and finally form
an opinion on each plank of this
vast program is indeed a major
task. Until that is done however,
most of the members of the Sa
lem YWCA refuse to endorse the
program or urge its enactment
About the most asinine state
ment that has been made in the
entire controversy is the one that
the YWCA has been accused of
being communistic. The word
communist was not even men
tioned at the April 19 meeting
simply because that statement
was deemed too silly to be
worthy of recognition. It is true,
that because of a record extend
ing over a period of 12 years,
the loyalty of at least one mem
ber of the national paid staff
may be open to question. How
ever to imply that anyone has
ever accused the whole organ!
ration of being communistic Is
about as logical as to question
the integrity of the entire iudic
iary because at some time some
Judge accepted a bribe.
Mass condemnation and mass
endorsement are equally danger
ous and dishonest. It is against
mass endorsement that the so
called "Rebel" group of the local
YWCA has rebelled.

DANGEROUS INTERSECTION
To the Editor:
Before me, as I write this Is
the Oregon Statesman front page
of Tuesday, April 19. North 21st
and Breyman street intersection,
Is to my mind one of "most dan
gerous" in Salem. Why? because
I travel between Center and
State on 21st and I have never
approached Breyman without
slowing to almost a stop, for a
safe driver realizes a possible
accident where vision is limited
as it is at this intersection.
Something should and can be
done for safe and sane drivers to
continue to be such, in Salem,
by removing sight barriers such
as found on three of the four
corners at Breyman and 21st.
Salem has a number of street in
tersections which could be im
proved for safety In driving, by
corner clearance. Will Salem
drivers continue to kill or will
Salem home owners cooperate
with the great majority of safe
and sane drivers?

COMMITTEE BEDRAGGLED
To the Editor:
Pretty soon the world will have
peace in spite of the efforts in
this country to prevent it, and
the bedraggled unAmerican com
mittee will be left as the most
ridiculous "piece of flotsam on
the political beach. But we
must credit the committee with
putting up a good fight for exist
ence. It has been a long time
since it began by calling Shirley
Temple a communist, and since
then it has unflinchingly mal
igned hundreds of other good
citizens even though some of
its members had to take time out
to try to defend themselves for
personal crimes against the gov
ernment. Lately it has declared the Paris
peace conference by the world's
greatest scientists to be a com
munist conspiracy, and has de
signated the YWCA as a com
munist front organization. The
DAR had better get its guard
up. It will probably be stigma
tized as a subversive fellow tra
veler in the committee's next
maudlin spasm.
