THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, K. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1945, P4CE THREE LOOKING AT WASHINGTON By HUGO S. SIMS, Washington Correspondent JU 1 tat Department Turns Against , Franco Regime the State Department, which has en- severely criticised by some .ople for following a policy favor ible ;' to ' General Franco's regime, seems to admit the justice of the cri ticism through recent statements by high officials of the Department. Assistant Secretary of State Archi bald MacLeish, in charge of public and cultural relations, says that the 1936 Neutrality Act, which prevented the Spanish Republic from buying arms in this country, is now almost universally condemned", that it "was never popular", and that until re cently it wasn't realized "how strong- y America is and was opposed to Franco and to the role played in Spain by Hitler and Mussolini." The State Department official calls he twenty-five years between the wo World Wars the "epoch of ir- esponsibility," and our general at- itude toward international eoopera ion as "the policy of disaster and leath." He concludes that the for- policy of this country is nder ing ft virtual revolution and that e United States now proposes to ork out world problems "in a pro ram of cooperation with other na- HJr. Dean Acheson, another As tant Secretary of State, in charge i. Congressional relations and inter ttional .conferences, calls "the Nazi ascist attack on the Spanish Repub ; an important link in the chain ading to World War II." This inclusion was reached by millions f f Americans some years ago and 16 only reason why popular senti ent was not more strongly expres ';d.was the belief that American po- ry toward Spain tended to prevent e: Spanish Dictator from joining ,6 frnr on the side of the Axis pow- Private Enterprise Must Fight To Win The outcome of the recent British ection, when considered with other ends apparent in certain European untries, indicates very plainly the iMical drift to the left that is rldwide. t 1b obviously impossible for the itedf States to avoid the impact of .this, movement which is finding expression in political action today but may find more drastic expres sion inr economic fields in subsequent years.' One of the problems receiving se rious attention revolves around jobs for all. In this country, a group of Senators has frankly insisted that private enterprise stands or falls on providing employment for those wil ling and able to work. It should not be overlooked that twice in the life of millions of Ameri cans there has been no unemployment in the United States. During the first World War, and in the present strugle, the nation has spent money lavishly in the prosecution of war fare, thus providing jobs for every body. The example of what Government directed and Government-financed ac tivity can accomplish has not lieen overlooked by those who lead the so-1 called leftist groups. Any average I American can easily figure it out fori himself. The reasoning will be that a Government that can produce full employment for making war can de vise a method to provide full employ ment during years of peace. The argument, to our mind, cannot be lightly displaced. The current prosperity is attributable to govern mental spending for war. The in ference is plain that governmental spending can produce a similar pros perity, or continue the present pros-' perity, when the necessity for war-j time spending ends. Obviously, if! this spending is directed toward the! production of needed goods and the provision of necessary services, the welfare of the people of the country! will be immeasurably improved. : The system of private enterprise, long extolled in the United States and now likely to be championed al most exclusively by this country, will not continue unless it is support ed by more than laudatory speeches and eulogies. It must function for the benefit of the average American. We believe that it can not unless trusts and monopolies and combina tions in restraint ,of trade are de stroyed.

"I mm warning the public, in no uncertain voices, that deficit-spending was the way to national disaster. Notwithstanding that the Federal Government operated at a deficit for many jars, the people of the nation were advised, by some of these same experts, when Japan at tacked the United States and it be came necessary to spend huge sums in the defense of this country, that the purchase of a war bond repre sented the safest investment in the world. It should be noted that during the present fiscal year, the United States is collecting less than fifty per cent of what it will spend and that the deficit contemplated by June HOth.l next, will probably be around $46,-! 000,000,000. Some financial experts have sug gested that the nation should in crease its taxation in order to pay a larger share of the cost of the war. I The argument was that economic prosperity, prevailing as a result of war-inspired activity, enables the people and corporations to stand heavier taxation. This would elim inate some of the borrowing, curtail the amount of money available for spending and generally safeguard the nation against an inflationary cycle. Remembering what the financial experts said when Mr. Roosevelt was spending a few billion dollars in excess of national income in the early Thirties, one would naturally expect that the leaders of business, industry and finance would resolute ly demand heavier taxation and a closer approach to a balanced bud get. This might be what one would expect, in view of what the big busi ness boys said ten years ago, but the facts are otherwise." - Despite the contemplated $46,000, 000,000 deficit, the enormous profits that many corporations are . mailing and the widely distributed prosperity due. to war spending; pressure has' been successfully; applied to Congress for - tax reductions. . Little is said about giving1 the average American any relief,, but much .is proclaimed from war spending.
