MAIL I month S months 1 year ... lii,:. BILLBOARD By BILL JKNK1NS w have, a cood mnnv men hold ing Inch public ofllce in this land of ours who ought to have their i heads examined. A specific example of which Is Rep. Hoffman, a Republican lcgis ' la tor from Michigan. Yesterday he came out 'hh the statement that Congress' should limit the amount of editorial space ' that any newspaper would be al lowed to Rive to a candidate in a political campaign. Come, come, come, Congress man! Don't you think that's going just a bit too far? In fact, having had a day to think it over, aren't you about ready to admit that you put your large foot In your mouth? The constitution of the United States, which has been upheld by every high court in the land, which has been respeeted by Congress and presidents alike for, lo. these many years, guarantees you, and all Americans, the right of a free press. In other words, newspapers, radio stations, magazines and oth er publications dealing with the events of the world and the na tion. Apparently, Congressman, you are willing to chuck all this in the rubbish box and settle for a gov ernment monopoly of the press. Apparently you are willing to give . up your right of free speech, your approach to the people, your only medium of public correspondence in favor of allowing the govern ment to say how much you can say. i Did you have anything of this nature to say at the last election when you wert appealing to the people of the Fourth District? When you were asking the people of Allegan, your Fostoilice address. lo support you? Did you, as the victor, personally castigate the i newspapers who supported you in ' your successful campaign? I doubt it! Shortsighted, small natured, pet ty little public pop-offs like you seldom have any more hindsight than you do foresight. And in your . case your lck of foresight com . prises quite goodly part of your pubhe makeup. Careful. Congressman! You're rapidly reaching that point where you take the privileges of your of fice to advantage. You may make the headlines with a statement like you made. But you won't .make ' many friends among thinking peo ple... . , ' : The only example yoa can -think of. offhand to substantiate, your wild statement is that John Knight, edi tor of the Free Press in Detroit, had given lot of editorial space to Eisenhower after said editor had JAMES MARLOW - -j WASHINGTON Ufi Sen. Taft and the rest of us will find out promptly how much weight be still carries with his fellow Republicans If he tries to block Gen. Elsen hower's appointment of Martin P. Durkin as secretary 01 labor. Durkin, like any other man named for a Cabinet job by the President, cannot take it unless the Senate approves. And when his name comes up for considera tion in the new Republican-con-trollea Congress. Taft could fight him. and through him, Elsen hower. That would provide an early test between the general and the sen ator. A victory for Taft would. In effect, be Taft telling Elsenhower: Brother, if you want to do bus iness, you're going to have to do It through me." Durkin, a 58-year-old Democrat who voted against Eisenhower, is leader of the AFL, which also opposed the general and called lor the full repeal of Tafl's own pet legislation, the Taft-Hartley la bor law. BRUCE BIOSSAT More and more ' responsible if any exists for Eastern Europe, statesmen and business leaders are In the meantime, our aid has coming to realize that the free helped keep the free nations bailed world is approaching a crossroads out. in its economic allalrs. When Western Europe was flat on 1U back after World War II, Ihe United States reponded with the Marshall Plan, as It had t.o if the Communists were to be kept at bay. Through that boldly conceived program ot assistance, the Euro pean countries rebuilt their econo mies and put down the threat. The Marshall Plan was designed as a four-year program, to end July 1, 1953. In mid-course the Ko rean war broke out. however, spurring the great western defense effort under NA'IO. And so a.d to Europe has continued, though now all but a traction is direct mili tary assistance and the remainder indirectly serves military ends. Even had there been no NATO requirements, It is clear that for elgn economic aid would have gone on beyond the 1953 deadline orlg. lnally set. Todav'a assistance. though styled militarily. Is In con aiderable degree economic. The question of how lo,'g to con tinue such aid the problem that brings the West to the crossroads. In tht stage when European nations were in fact recovering from pa. ra lysis. Ihe wisdom of the plan seemed obvious. But Europe today has left ttat stage behind. The problem now is different. Europe for the most part is pro ducing well, but it la not earn Ing its way. For one prime reason it cannot find adequate outlets for the goods it makes. So It can not pay (or all the things it must Import. Before the big war. Western Europe traded with Eastern Eur ope. The Iron .Curtain and the West' own restrictions now keep that commerce to a trickle. But our friends abroad have not yet discovered tht trade substitute- BILL JENKINS Managing Editor SIBSCRlrTlON RATES BY CARRIER 1.S5 ! month - I.5S S 6.50 C months 1.10 tll.OO I year MM decided that Ike was the man. You said mat Knight had "Deen back and forth on the new deal." Prettv thin charges upon which lo hang such a suggestion. Jusl because a candidate, and the one you should have supported, by the way, cot some editorial comment you want to sav that all news papers should be limited in their copy. I don't suppose It ever occurred to your shallow mind that it Li but a step from a congressional limi tation on the amount of space that might be given a candidate to a downright edit toiling the toncei free press of America what it can print. I don't' suppose you thought it through carefully enough to rea lise that you are pleading with congress to take away still anoth er richt of the people. I do, however. Imagine that' if you were successful in this move, you would spearhead a move to make your own religion the cult of the land, your own Sunday dinner the Sunday dinner of tne masses and your own taste in clothes the national fad. Men such as yourself. Congress man, if they persist in making such ill-advised suggestions, have no Dlace in the congress or our land. No place on the platform of freedom that Americans want to keep strong and healthy. I sueeest. Congressman, that much more useful suggestion would be to limit the number ol investi gations held by your senatorial groups. A limitation on the sense less speeches made by you and your colleagues merely to gain space in your home town news papers. A limit to the number of American tax dollars you are to be allowed to pour into futile ef forts to bolster the unwilling and rebellious of Europe. A limit to the excessive spending you are do- trie through boondoggling federal Droiects. A limit to the careless and freehanded spending you are doing that prolongs the war In Ko rea. A limit to the knuckling In you are going to do to Russia in the coming year. Thee. congressmen, would. In my opinion, be much more effec tive than your proposal to cut oft the flow of news to your fellow Americans. Not, Congressman, that I would advocate such changes. They would serve as limitation of your Amer ican right to- hold and run your office as you see lit. They would be a further curb on your freedom as an American congressman. The same sort of a euro you would put on the newspapers and the public. Like Voltaire. I may disagree with what you say, but TU defend to the death your right to say it. !. uc.iuui.iro me c.cs.uun vi , Durkin as "incredible." He said I some oiner things too. none ot them complimentary. Republicans around the country seemed dis mayed by this frontal assault on Eif enhower'a judgment a t v c n weeks before he took office. Yet, they seemed reluctant to admit this Tattian attack meant a split between him and the President-elect. But a big question needs answering if this wasn't a split and a warning to Elsenhower of trouble ahead: Just how many times does Ei senhower have to take tongue lashing from Taft, the man whom he defeated tor the Republican presidential nomination, before re lations between them can be con sidered split? After Taft's outburst yesterday. Republicans must be asking them selves: Is Taft going to do to Eisenhower what he did to Pres ident Truman? And where will that leave them tour years from now when election comes around again. Yet that policy is artificial, a stop gap that merely puts oft the day of reckoning. The U.S. and the whole West need a new poi.cy. a comprehensive economic program that will seek a proper How of trade among the free countries to their mutual benefit and strength. We learn now that the U.S. Coun cil of the International Chamber of Commerce, headed by George A. Sloan, is preparing a series of policy recommendations covering uie enure ii'ia oi American com mercial and monetary policy. These It will present to Oeneral Eisenhower's new administration next year as a fresh approach. The council' efforts will be wl. eomed.They could hardly be more tmely. the coming Wnte House change-over and the rising need for new solutions make this plain. And, in the light of the council's past contributions m nrosrrens In this field, there is little doubt the proposals will be helpful and con structive in giving our foreign eco nomic policy wise guidance toward new channels.
