If the present trend is fol lowed it could be that one would be brand ed as a communist who dared open his mouth against the government. In other words, many who participate in the political campaigns between now and November 7 might be held accountable for the remarks they make. While we write off a large area of the world as communist, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, comes along and give us something to think about. Denouncing the black tyranny of atheistic and imperialistic Communism in Kastern•Eu rope, the noted chairman added. “In the Far Fast, it can easily be seen not as a tyranny but, at present, as a liberation . . . fromsocial evils too long and unhcdding lv aeepted. Realization of this fact must make us feel acute sympathy for Christians in China, for instance, who, while quite un certain how things may work out in the future, acknowledge that the present regime is morally and socially preferable to the corruptions and inefficiency and exploita tions “of the regime (Chiang Kai-shek) it re placed ” Unfortunately we have collaborated with ami aided the corruptionists, not only in China, but also in Spain and other countries. And in the opinion of many, that's why the ! isms have spread so rapidly, despite the bil lions offered in free gifts in the shadow of a big stick. (iliHUii Toddlers During most of its existence, this country has had its gloom peddlers. They have been fairly consistent in that they have been wrong about nearly every prediction. Even the guy without a dollar today is, ac- i cording to the designated value of the "cart wheel,” fiftv percent better off tha’.i he was in the early thirties. The Pike County (Illinois) Democrat sizes up the present situation in the following ed itorial: We try not to be such prejudiced Demo crats that we claim the Democrats Hiring about everything that’s good and the Re publicans are the cause of everything bad. Even so, when our all-wise, distinguished and exalted Republican editorial contempor aries vigorously charge that everyone is so J much poorer than they were in 1932-33, we can’t resist trying to reply—meekly and tim idly. At least, most people have a lot more dol j lars than they had in 1932-33 statistics i prove it. A letter from Senator Scott W. Lu cas gives us some of these Government fig ures. The national income this year is es timated to reach 221 billion dollars, two and a half times the 1929 level and at .least five times that of 1932-33. Corporation dividend payments are now highest in history, as is "total personal income and per capita income. Savings at highest peacetime level. Figures for Illinois show that income pay ments to individuals totaled $3,335,000,000 in 1933 and $15.107,000,000 in 19411. Bank de posits were $2,252,972,000 in 1932 and $11. 464,000,000 in 1949 Bank suspensions during the period 1930-33 were P.17 and 1934-49 only 10. There were 2,117 business failures in 1932 and only 305 in 1948. Total cash farm income for Illinois in 1932 was $256,000,000, but in 1949 it was $1,702,943,000. Figures for Pike County show that total retail sales in the county for 1929 were $5, 579,000 as compared to $2,645,000 in 1933 and $14,374,000 in 1948. Bank deposits in Pike to taled $5,304,000 on December 31, 1941 and $13,672,000, June 30, 1949. These figures tell the story of all business statistics—in every case the number of dollars is from three to five times what it was in 1932-33. We did not even claim that these better business conditions and higher individual in come are due entirely to the Democratic ad ministration. Naturally, other factors have helped bring about the vast increase in pro duction and the highly increased volume of the Democratic administration have made possible many of these achievements. Take just two examples, the farm price-support program and rural electrification. Just think of the tremendous volume of business these two factors alone have created. Good farm income and rural electrification have made it possible for farmers to buy a vast volume of manufactured products in 1932-33 they could not even pay their taxes. We are also fully aware of the serious ec onomic problems facing the country, due to World War II and the threat of inflation since the war started in Korea. The national debt is something to think about, too, but even at that, we doubt that it is as serious as pictured by some when you compare the debt of around 255 billion dollars to the total national income of 221 billion dollars. Even in view of the serious economic problems presented by war, past and pre sent, wc think that most people are much better off financially right now than they were in 1932-33. At least we have a lot more dollars and a mighty lot of people think they are better off with more dollars (even 65 cent or 50-cent dollars) than they were in 1932-33, when they had no dollars at all 50 cent dollars or any other kind of dollars. AH kimla Of Arm« Possibly the Koreans have few facilities for making modern arms, but reports indi cate there was a large supply available from other sources. Russia, no doubt, has been the main source of supply, but it is rat her strange that rto air power was provided. Some of the wea pons were left over by the Japs from the claimed that the Koreans built up their arm id forces partly with weapons bought from Chiang Kaishek’s generals. The deal, accord ing to a former Russian officer, was made back yonder when Chiang was supposed to have been fighting for Democracy. Since the United States pumped billions into China to help or enrich Kaishek, it is quite possible that some of the munitions used against Americans came from America, not by way of “our friend” and his corrupt regime in China.
