Its a Tough Spot
As a new year approaches the great danger of war
lies in the Far East not in Europe.
And this danger is acute even though neither Sov
iet Russia or China may want war. Certainly the
U.S.A. doesn't. But a false step on either side might
bring it.
"1X7HAT will the present administration do, for ex-
ample, if the Reds take over all of Indo China,
as they appear prepared . to do. And what will it do
if China takes over Quemoy or the Tachen Islands?
There is, as we see it, nothing that can be done but
(1) either, meekly accept these new aggressions or
(2) go to war.

moy for that matter?. ' , -

At least that is the report of one of Washington's
1 T T i 1 i
leading newspaper correspondents, ana aiter listen
ing to the broadcast we have no reason to doubt the
truth of the statement.
THE sponsors claim to be interested only in giving
the American people the facts, so they may act
and vote wisely. But it is rare indeed when those facts
don t add up to. another
ponent of brass-knuckle political warfare from Wis
consin.
There is never any real
factions, moreover. There is merely conversation
which is either pro-McCarthy or anti-Eisenhower, or
both.
I AST Sunday night there were only two speakers.
1-1 They both agreed McCarthy was- a great patriot
and a great man, one of them went so far as to favor
a Third Party to be led by
wing ot tne could not be eliminated. The only
objection the other presented was that McCarthy
would have to broaden his program and not spend
all his time and ammunition , on Red hunting, if such
a venture were to succeed nationally.
. -.. ....
llE predict (it wont be long now before Senator
TT Knowland is a guest on this broadcast, or has
some willing stooge to represent him. .The California
Senator's last minute switch to the McCarthy clique
on the censure motion was the tip-off. He wants Mc
Carthy with him in that Republican convention 18
months hence. .
THE marvel continues to be, as so often pointed out
in this column, that President Eisenhower should
tolerate as his party leader in the Senate a man who
is so frequently openly opposing him on vital issues,
with an obvious eye. on the GOP nomination in 1956,
for himself.
THE only explanation we have heard is that while
President Eisenhower would like to get "Bill" out,
he hasn't the votes to do so.
That is not easy to believe with a leader as popu
in his party and throughout the country as the President.--
.' --:'H'-:-M
Yet, that is the only one presented to date, that
makes much sense. For.it is hard to believe that
President Eisenhower would not have as his own, and
his party representative, in the Upper House, some
one who agrees with his policies, especially regarding
foreign affairs, instead of disagreeing with them all
the time if he could GET such a person.
It all adds up we fear, to rough going ahead for
the 34th President of the United States unless there
should be a sudden and' unexpected change ; in the
political situation within .the Republican party and
an end to what amounts to a serious and bitter inner
party feud. R.W.R. - ,

Matter of Fact
THE BOOM
Washington Ways and means
of damping down the current
stock market boom are being
seriously dis
cussed in high
a d ministra
tion circle. For
the boom in
stock prices is,
oddly enough,
a major ad
ministra tion
worry in what
otherwise
looks like a
Stewart AIxop
r e ason ably
rosy economic situation.
- Two methods of slowing down
the boom - are being talked
about. One is to raise margin re
quirements the proportion of
his own money the purchaser of
a stock must put up from the
current 50 'per cent to 60 or 70
per cent. This measure would
have, and would be meant to
have, a largely psychological ef
fect. It would be the govern
ment's way of raising a discreet
warning sign. j '
The other method is to raise
interest rates and to return at
Keast part way to the '"hard
money" policy, which Secretary
of the Treasury George Hum
phrey adopted early in the Ad
ministration, and then rather
hastily abandoned. "The danger
here is that, instead of merely
slowing down the boom, this kind
of action itself might start really
bad trouble. The once-burned
Treasury is, apparently, nerv
ously aware of this danger. ;
rPHE PRESIDENT'S Council of
Economic Advisers, on the
other hand, is nervously aware
of the danger that the stock
boom might reaUy get out of
hand, with unnecessarily dis
astrous consequences. There is
an obvious parallel here with the
argument which went on in the
spring and summer Of 1929, be
tween Andrew Mellon's Treasury
department, which favored a
hands-off policy toward the stock
boom, and the Federal Reserve
board, which favored damping
down action. But this sinister
parallel, it must hastily be said,
a misleading in almost every
way. . - - '.;
There are, according to the
government's economic experts,
all sorts of differences between
the current stock boom and ""the"
1929 boom of evil memory. But
the biggest difference is this.
In 1929, stock prices were zoom
ing up while aU sorts of signs
more and more clearly indicated
that the economy was reaching a
dangerous corner. This time,, all
sorts of signs indicate that the
economy has passed. the danger
ous corner.

Those Float Pictures
To the Editor: After reading
last Sunday's Mail Tribune and
seeing the nice Christmas float
pictures I am very disappointed
mat tnere was no picture of the
Medford Letter Carriers Auxil
iary float which won first prize
for the adult Biblical theme.
I realize that every float en
tered in a parade cannot pos
sibly be photographed, but J
feel the Letter. Carriers' Auxil-
iary was very much slighted, as
there were photos taken of sev
eral second and third prize win
ners. This is the first year the Let
ter Carriers' Auxiliary .has en
tered a Christmas parade and
nesitated to do so as our or
ganization is small and felt the
expense would be too much. But
through the encouragement - of
Mr. Reeder of the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce we decided to
participate and were very sur
prisea ana pleased, to win a
first prize award. We also ap
preciated the generosity ' of our
postmaster, Moore Hamilton, for
having the new mail trucks in
the parade. -'.. -
. usually, urst prize wmners
have put a lot of time and. ex
pense on. their floats and it
seems only fair that they should
be recognized. If I am not mis
taken, I think there are one or
two other prize winners also
not pictured in Sunday's paper.
I am not writing this to blame
anyone or ; any - person in par
ticular, as I -feel it is just an
oversight and not a deliberate
intention. After all, we all make
mistakes that we are unaware
of. The main :'. thing is to try
and change them.

ployed should be reduced by at
least a half million by Christ
mas. The indications are that
production, which has been
steadily rising, , will reach ; a
point just a shade below the all
time high of 1953 by the end of
this year. Inventories are down,
and in general the nation is be
ginning again to consume more
than it produces it is seeking
to live off its accumulated fat.
Perhaps most important, invest
ment contracts are way up, in
sharp contrast to 1929.
The forecasts of . the chief
presidential economists notably
Arthur Burns, chairman of the
Economic Advisors, and Gabriel
Hauge, Special Presidential As
sistant have thus been triumph
antly; vindicated. Early last
spring some viewers-with-alarm
were predicting really serious
trouble and proposing drastic
measures to head it off. Burn
and Hauge both took the posi
tion that drastic measures should
.be used , if necessary but that
the economy was likely to right
itself by autumn, without emerg
ency action. This is just what has
haoened. .. A -
one claims, of course, that
tiiei-e is nothing to worry about
any more. There are soft spots in
the economy. The President's
economists will breathe . a lot
easier if the new automobile
models sell as well as the manu
facturers hope. The prospect of
real labor trouble next spring
this Administration's first
serious labor trouble is dis
quieting. :- "
"DUT THE . stock market boom
, is the' biggest worry. The;
boom reflects a confidence in the
economic future "which, the
President's advisers believe,- is
basically justified. The danger
is that confidence might turn
into overconfidence and, stock
prices might then begin to get
really out of hand. Then, at some
point, a collapse of the market
would become inevitable. -And
this alone could quite probably
reverse the hopeful trend which
has now set in. Hence, the anxi
ous discussions about some way
of damping down the' market.
The President himself is tak
ing an active part in these dis
cussions. He reviews tne . eco
nomic scene at least twice week
ly once when Dr. Burns briefs
the Cabinet on the economic pic
ture, and once in a regular week-,
ly conference with Burns. '.
. The President, , according to
those who have sat in on such
discussions, is surprisingly
knowledgeable on economic mat
ters. He has, moreover, none of
the instinctive aversion to the
word "planning" which some of
the business men in his Admin-,
istration share. And the Presi
dent is determined to use the
whole power of the government,
come ; what,, may," to ; prevent or
reverse any really serious down
turn. -
This Presidential ' determina
tion is, surely, as good a reason
for confidence in the economic
future as any other. v '

Back in 1932 Gen. Tiburico
Cartas Andino, Nationalist lead
er, was elected president. He
ruled Honduras for 16 years un
til 1948. He was a dictator, but
he reduced the internal and for
eign public debts, . accumulated
gold reserves and improved the
country.
Incidentally, Cartas was Hon
duras' 120th president since. the
country's liberation from Spain
in 1821. Cartas slowed up the
turnover rate , by twice setting
aside the , constitutional bar
against the ; reelection ' of : a
president. '
Steps Aside for Protege '
In 1948, Cartas stepped aside
in favor of his protege, Dr. Juan
Manuel Galvez. Galvez ' was
elected with Lozano as his vice
presidential running mate.
Cartas did not like the way
Galvez ran things and the two
men became estranged. The Na
tionalist party split into factions.
The ; Galvez faction wanted
him to run again, setting aside"
the reelection ban as Cartas had
done. He refused.
As the result there were three
candidates in the presidential
election held on Oct. 10.
Dr. Ramon Villeda Morales, a
physician without . administra
tive experience, ran on the Lib
eral ticket. Dr. Enrique OrtiZi a
dentist who was graduated from
Loyola university, New Orleans,
was his running mate.
' Gen. Abraham1 Williams Cal
derone, a graduate of Rensse
laer Polytechnic Institute of
Troy, N.Y., who served as vice
president under Cartas before
1948, was nominated on the Na
tional Reformist party ticket. ,
This party was composed of dis
sident Nationalists of the Galvez
wing. . ., -.; : . : :
