lo one will ever know what
the coming national elections ac
tually cost,” freports the nonpar
tisan editorial service, Congres
sional Quarterly.
That’s because of the many ex
emptions allowed under federal
laws which require that campaign
spending be reported to Congress.
Thus although political candi
dates and groups reported spend
ing more than $15 million in the
► 1948 election year, how much ac
tually was spent is anybody’s
guess.
The law limits expenditures for
each Senatorial candidate to $25,
000 and for each candidate for the
House to $10,000, but many ex
penses are exempted. There is
no limit to presidential aspirants.
Of course, organized labor can
not hope to match the political
^ war chests of the wealthy. How
ever, it is absolutely necessary for
:trade unionists, in their own in
terest, to offset so far as possible
•the trail of greenbacks from the
vaults of special privilege to the
treasuries of reactionary political
candidates.
The only way to do that is to
. help finance the campaigns of
those who are friends of the
workingman and woman; it’s a
cinch they will get help from no
one else. Members of the Amer
ican Federation of tabor should

favor legislation that benefits the

PROGRAM AGAINST “FEAR”
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said
the “great fear of Communism” in
the U. S. forces people to label
anything they don’t like as Com
munistic.
“It makes people afraid to think
differently because they are afraid
of being labeled/’ she told the
board of the International Fed
eration of Business and Profes
sional Women.
Mrs. Roosevelt urged that this
country start an ^educational pro
gram that would free people of
the fear of original thinking “be
cause this country is built on
people who have new ideas/’
I “No matter how important the
economic and military need/’ she
said, “we have to build up our
intellectual and spiritual beliefs
because you never win by being
against something. You must be
for something. We must work
for our ideas because other ideas
are being, worked for and they
sometimes can sound alluring.”
