It hat's It .ill About?
‘Just what is the State Department’s loy
sflty purge all about anyhow? In refuting
tire meaning of the Constitution, the Depart
ment apparently is trying to weed out and
turn back many young Americans who
tfrould serve their country, reserving the di
plomatic posts for career men and sons of
&reer men after a fashion little different
from the system of handing down the line
tW crown of England.
* The people of our nation have been warn
5<d against letting their anger get out of
iiand “until every American who stands for
progress is condemned as a Red and a Com
munist.’’
; Could it be that the State Department is
firing'worker after worker to create jobs to
bo filled by the politicians and the career
hovs?
Mystery of Synthetic Rnhher
liabor. ' * w
i “Tire manufacturers have suddenly found
themselves smack in the middle of a syn
thetic rubber shortage,” the “Wall Street
Journal" reports. “It’s the first such famine
s|nce the war’s end.”
What is that? Uncle Sam spent hundreds
of millions in construction of synthetic rub
ter factories during the war. The Japs had
cut off natural rubber from British and
Dutch colonies in the Far East.
With the aid of the scientists, plus the
driving power of “Bill" Jeffers, long chief of
the Union Pacific, the substitute was turned
out in sufficient quantities to save our hides
Now something has happened. Haw the
British and Dutch rubber inteif'sts, and their
American financial friends, so much influ
ence that they can shut down our synthetic
factories and restore the fabulously profit
able natural rubber monopoly which has
built lip fortunes in Britain anti Holland?

Statesville Daily Record
General Eisenhower has pledged that all
information on the army’s wartime activi
ties will be made available to responsible
inquirers, including the press. "What the
army did is public business,” says the Chief
of Staff.
We hope the truth of that remark will be
heeded. Recently the State-War-Navy-Air
F'orce Co-ordinating committee drafted a set
of peacetime restrictions on all government
al information, modeled on army wartime
ragulations, which was so stringent that a
congressional group has seen fit to investi
gate the excuses behind all this undemo
cratic hush-hush.
What the government does is public busi
ness. too, within obvious bounds of security.
The war-spoiled lords of what shall be print
ed should be aware of this without needing
the reminder of a congressional crackdown.
Especially for I lie Hicli
The Republicans with the aid of reaction
ary Democrats are moving along with a new
tax bill especially designed for the rich. It
is admitted that taxes are high, but it should
be remembered that there is a high debt,
that it must be paid. In proposing to lower
taxes, the economic barons are seeing to it
that the lion’s share will he saved for them
selves while the little fellow is to be appeas
ed with the crumbs.
Tn demanding tax reductions, the rich
should remember that bread is not being
taken out of their mouths, that diets have
necessarily been cut for those in the lower
income brackets.
It is to be seen if the Republican will be
able to slash income taxes and then turn and
impose a federal sales tax at the source of
manufacture for the li1 tie people of this na
tion.
To be proud of learning is the greatest ig
norance.—Jeremy Taylor. ___
