Economy Mores
Smithfield Herald.
When Congress is in session, one hears
much about the “economy drive'.’’ There is
a lot of talk about the need for economy! but
it’s seldom more than talk. And it; is not
hard to understand why th< economy bloc
doesn't get far.
The legislators who advocate drastic cuts
ir federal spending usually are more inter
ested in destroying some public service they
don't like than in saving money for the tax
payers. For example, haters of the New |
Deal clamor for economy when appropria- i
tions for public wt-lfan enterprises are up
for consideration. I . i these .ame leaders
don't car it the shy >s the limit on federal i
spending when It comes to financing mili
tary projects.
The ecc remy-minded legislator also re
laxes his spitwhen son c "pet project" of
his own is b “fo»; Congress. Thi: was ippar
ent in the Senate's action on the $751.000,000
omnibus rivers, harbors and flood control
appropriations bill, which is commonly
known as the "pork barrel’ because it car
ries money for local projects.
One is reminded of the attitude of many
business executives on the question o! a bal
anced budget and taxes. Then , ios.stence j
on keeping the income end outgo of' federal
funds in balance and <>e rodueb.m el the na- |
tir.nal debt. But there is no opposition to |
heavy tax reduction even though it may im- i
peril the government’s effort to maintain a i
balanced budget or curtail the possibilities j
of reducing the debt. ,
If there is any lesson to be learned from !
these actions and attitudes of political and '
business leaders, it is this:
The people will serve their own interests ;
bet to if they refuse to be misled by the j
shoutings for economy, and seek to under- j
stand what the real motiws of the economy i
shunters are.

Lately the western world has been knit
ting its brows over happenings in the* un
familiar Far Flash Several recent items of
news from Korea throw light on a pattern
which is becoming all too familiar in that
same Far East:
(1) There is a wide expectation that ag
gressive action from Communist-controlled
North Korea may be directed before long at
the Korean Republic in the South. (2) The
Korean Republic has asked for more aid,
arms, and a military guidance guarantee
from the United States. (3) A revival of na
tionalism in the republic threatens to estab
lish a state-sponsored equivalent of Japan
ese Shinto, to the horror of Korean Chris
tians and democrats.
In other words, the United States is ask
ed once again to back reaction against revo
lution, the discredited past against a tyran
nous future. To hold out a guarantee of aid
to a government without exacting from it a
commitment to reasonably progressive prac
t ice would be futile. The United States must
somehow contrive to ally itself with the pro
mise of a brighter future for the millions of
Asia if it is not to repeat its failure' in China.

Quite a few of the industrial leaders in
this nation complain no little about the cost
of supporting farm prices, but they say
nothing about amounts paid to the air lines,
lo the shipping interests and others.
Last year payments tn the mail lines
amounted to $102,157,000. The lines handled
102.000,000 pounds of mail.
It isn't so much what the government gives
that counts but who gels the handout that
matters.
Adversity has over been considered the
state in which a man most easily becomes
acquainted with himself, then, especially be
ing free from flatterer.,. Johnson.
