Not Above The Law c
Miss Vivien Kellems, of Connect!
cut, - who describes herself, as "a
small manufacturer," has advised the
Secretary of the Treasury that she is
; not deducting' withholding taxes from
100 employes and does not intend to
, do so in the future.
"The proper response, on the part of
the government, would be to indict
'the lady, have her tried and, if con
victed, punished as provided by the
law." - '
While the lady is' only repeating
-previous denunciations of the law,
probably with an eye on the adver
tising acquired, there, is no use to
overlook her. She is not above the
law of the land and should suffer the
full consequences of her violations of
; the tew.ivi-;;.
When a man named Lewis recently
was accused of violating the laws of
; the' land " there were thousands of
Americans to rise up and demand
I that he be punished, lest the law and
i the government be condemned. The
. question nowis,-does the law apply
to a woman?
motLuc&'.ion. There would be a much
slower shift to jet-propelled planes
and air-craft-plant expansion. . There
is danger, of course, that if we build
up our air force too aukkly that we
will have a number of obsolete planes
in a few years. J -1 '
"Too much, too soon" may be as
bad a defense policy .as "too little,
too late.; . . -

' Most business men and economists

would have shown a sagging tendency
during 1948," declares Dr. Edwin G.
Nourse, 'presidential economic ad

Or. Nourse, who is chairman of the
President's Council of Economic Ad
visers, says that unless . the war
'clouds ' deepen, "business prosperity
might well be sustained for several
years ahead." He ought to be in a

- While the short-range prospect for
business may be favorable, the Doc
tor thinks that the long-range econ
omic prospect is "unfavorable". He
$hinks production and employment
may continue high, but fears that
purchasing power, which is real in
come measured by the goods it will
buy, may i suffer.
To Peace And Security
Dr. Albert Einstein, noted scientist,
is pumping ; vigorously for a auperr
national organization, which, he says,
is " the only one path to peace and
security." , , '
The physicist warns of the Hanger
of militarization which will "slowly
but surely destroy the democratic
spirit and the dignity of the indiv
idual in our land.
Certainly, we would not dispute
the conclusion if by "militarization"
i he means what is going on in Russia
and what went on in Germany.- On
the other hand, it might as well be
recognized that military ' impotence,'
if this nation Is ever challenged by an
aggressive power, will likewise .. "de
stroy the democratic spirit ; and the
dignity of ithe individual" and the
process will not be slow, but speedy.
The United States, as we see the
present world situation, must be ade
quately armed to defend itself in the
. event that the dictatorial rulers of
Soviet Russia decide to adopt war as
'an Instrument of national, policy. If
the rulers or the Kremlin reach this
decision, the only protection that we
) will have for jthe democratic , spirit
' and the dignity of the tndividuia will
p be found in the strength of our arm
