It marks the acceptance of the fact that in these times the relation between government finance arid the private economy is intimate and reciprocal. The two cannot be considered apart, and treated like two parallel lines that never meet. The day is gone and will probably never return, when government spending, taxing, and borrowing can be isolated from individual and corporate spending, investing, and For the two combined, and interacting, determine the level of production, the order of prices, the quantity of employment, and the government revenue at any given rate of taxes.

Half-American himself, Winston Churchill is perhaps as highly esteemed on this side of the Atlantic as he is in England. Only the slightest stirring of memory is required to recall the fears in this country as Adolf Hitler and his thugs at the head of great armies and air forces swarmed over Europe to impose their will upon millions of people. There was no doubt in American minds as to what the result of a German victory would be, particularly if that victory included the conquest of the British Isles. But Winston Churchill rallied the British people and at the same time gave courage and hope to Americans as well.

His speeches, some of the greatest in history, sounded the doom of Hitler and everything for which he stood. Military strategy, for which he is given much credit, proved successful. He proved a perfect partner for that other great war figure, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and this marvelous team great democrats both of them, and both haters of tyranny drove the Allied Nations on to the great victories which were accomplished during the past Churchill' has indeed earned the rest which he is seeking in the sunshine of Florida. Americans are happy that he has come here to enjoy that rest among us.

The problem is much money and not enough goods. The solution of the problem is more goods as soon as possible, less private spending until there are more goods, less money in circulation brought about by taxation and the control of credit and as stopgap and backstop for some time to come price control of scarce goods and government allocation of essential materials. The most urgent measures the President needs from Congress, are. therefore, an extension of the price control act and of the second war powers act, both of which expire on June 30.

But while the immediate problem is that of inflation, no one who looks ahead and wishes to act with prudence and foresight caa doubt that the time will come no one can say exactly when but certainly within a few short years when the deferred demand will have been satisfied, the private savings that will be spent and invested used up, prdouction will be at full capacity.

22President Truman's aides put together for him a rather remarkable message in what is called a report on "The State of the Union." No one man could write such a report alone, because it must necessarily comprise digests of dozens of long reports and memoranda from nearly every major activity of the rate of 200 billion dollars a year. Nearly half of this product was bought by the government; the other half was bought by the civilian market.

He had been in failinjr.health have not been taken soon enough to prevent it, or at the least to moderate it, it is almost certain to be the most violent depression in our whole history. Nineteen hundred and twenty-five was bad enough: the national income fell from 90 to 40 billions. But now the national income is much larger, and if it fell to 40 or even 70 billions, the effect might well be catastrophic. The measures to prevent this happening are among the most difficult our people have ever had to consider.

The American economy will be at a level of productivity never before achieved anywhere at any time. To keep it at that level or anywhere near it, will require capital investment and consumer spending on a scale beyond anything hitherto Known in time of peace. It is not easy to see. it is very hard to know, how capital investment of a wholly new order of magnitude can be brought about annually and consistently. But if it is not brought about, depression is certain, and depression of a kind which will shake the.

country and the world. The success" with which we master this American problem will have a profound effect on the peace of the world. An economic catastrophe in the United States, like 1929. would undermine the peace settlement. As a matter of fact the whole prospect of peace, the whole hope in U.

Such a drastic and sudden reduction of demand by the government would, in itself, produce unemployment and a severe decline in prices.

m. in the Oliver S. Burk Funeral services will be conducted government. Mr. Truman was right in combining his budget recommendations and analysis with, his general policy messages, for the two logicauy go together.

Unless one knows where the money is coming from and why it should be spent, it is difficult to explain a budget program anyway. One may disagree with some of the recommendations or the reasons for the expenditures and yet find the whole message a comprehensive panorama of our Federal government in the all-important period of transition from war to peace. The outline of the Federal function is particularly significant. Truman'g Concept These passages tell Mr. Truman's concept of government: "While our peacetime prosperity will be based on the private enterprise system, government can and must assist in many ways.

"During the year ahead the government will be called upon to act in many important fields of economic policy from taxation and foreign trade to social security and housing. "There is no question in my mind that the government, acting on behalf of all the people, must assume the ultimate responsibility for the economic health of the Nation. There is no other agency, that can. No other organization has the scope or the authority, nor is there any other agency accountable to all the people. "All the policies of the Federal government must be geared to the objective of sustained, full production and full employment to raise consumer purchasing power and to encourage business investment.

The programs we adopt this year and from now on will determine our ability to achieve our objectives. "For example, the kinds of tax measures we have at different times whether we raise our revenue in a way to encourage consumer spending and business investment or to discourage it have a vital bearing on this question. "In short, the way we handle the proper functions of government, the way we time the exercise of our traditional and legitimate governmental functions, has a vital bearing on the economic health of the Nation." The message Is an attempt to give the people a summary of what has happened during the past year and what is now happening and at the same time to give a forecast of what might be expected. Many a general policy and long-term objective is interwoven with recommendations for immediate situations. There is one sentence, however, which states the President's determination succinctly and ought to be noted.

He says: "Industrial peace between management and labor will have to be achieved through the process of collective bargaining with government assistance but not government compulsion." As for tax policy in the future, there is no hope held out for reduction of individual income taxes for some time to come, and this must inevitably mean a sharper scrutiny of government budgets by Congress than heretofore. Many of the expenditures recommended sound by Rev. Landis and Dr. E. S.

In the interest of the safety of the thousands of children who are turning to this delightful and invigorating winter sport, the Allentown Police Department has designated fourteen slopes and commended them to the, young people." To the degree that it has been possible, the slopes selected are in as many different sections of the city as their number and it is calculated -that with a minimum of effort any child in any part of the city can reach a hill where the police will have set up barricades against motor traffic from the hours of 3 to 9 p. m. daily throughout the season.

The police department is undermanned but It is taking steps along line unrelated to its general business in order to provide safety for the thousands of children who probably wish to enjoy the sport and are encouraged by their elders to do so. So it is to these hills, which are receiving police protection, that parents and guardians In wisdom will direct the children. By exercise of that same wisdom, coasting anywhere else will be discouraged and absolutely forbidden. However since the ideal in anything is never completely attainable, motorists must not assume that all coasting is being done at the approved and protected spots. They must assume that almost anywhere and at almost any time they will encounter children upon sleds that very often are not under the full control of the riders.

Therefore extreme care in crossing intersections is in order. Speeding -coasters may dash across such intersections at the most surprising times. This is true not only as to the full but also as to the half streets for many of these half-streets are ideal coasting spots although not so recognized by the police. Motorists also should to the best of their ability avoid streets where coasting is in progress, even though the streets be outside the police category. A little care in these respects may save a lot of woe.

In most sections of the city the safest place 'for pedestrians is in the streets where the- snow was not moved and is being constantly churned by the wheels and chains of trucks and motor cars. That thousands of people are finding this safest place for walking constitutes a serious traffic hazard. Concerted action on the part of householders by sprinkling ashes, sand, or salt upon their sidewalks will bring the pedestrians back to the place where they belong. The cleanly nature of our people rather rebels against such practice, but a little dirt which rains later will carry away will be better to endure than to have the host of street accidents that are reported dally in the newspapers.

Russell A. Werkheiser. a student Joe Frisco, the stuttering comedian, once received an expensive wrist watch from Charley Foy for valiant assistance in some benefit shows. "Take care of this," said Foy, who knew of Frisco's penchant for pawning things. "I'll cherish it to my d-d-dying d-d-day," stuttered Joe.

A few weeks later, Foy spotted the watch on the wrist of his barber, who admitted he had bought it from Joe for $20. Foy bought it back, and gave it once more to Frisco. "You're a p-p-prince to do this, C-C-ChaTlie," said the comedian. "And if you f-f-flnd what I do with it this time, I insist that you k-k-keep the watch."

Beer was in charge. Today's Scriptures A thirty-five year old Reading woman committed suicide a few days ago because she feared that she was going blind, and her husband and her two sisters all people in their thirties-decided to die with her. Hrr physician had advised her go to a hospital for eye treatment, but she preferred death to blindness, although the doctor hud assured her that she could be cured. Here is one of the most tragic cases that has ever come to my attention, and, although I have kept away from Hie subject up to now, it compels me lo answer the question asked by ev-eral readcrsi "Is suicide ever JusU-fled?" It would be easy for me to say "No. suicide is never justified and yet who, among us, has a right to pass decisive judgment on the actions of others? From the story, as I read it, this quadruple suicide certainly, was entirely unjustified.

I can't conceive a situation where three others have to take their lives because a fourth does not consider life worth-while. To mv mind suicide is never Justified. Life offers too much even to the blind or the crippled to be cast away. Life isn't something that we created ourselves. It is something that was given to us by a higher power, to be held in trust and to be used for the benefit not only of ourselves but of others.

What if Helen Keller, had committed suicide instead of bringing happiness to the thousands whom she has visited and consoled and encouraged? Beethoven was deaf yet his wonderful music will last forever. Thousands of soldiers have come back from the war maimed and crippled but courage and faith can help replace what they lost. Suicide is the result of despair. Despair comes when all hope, all faith, all courage are lost. I have seen many blind and otherwise handicapped brings and I have pitied them and thanked God that my body is whole and that I have eyes to see and ears to hear.

But there are things you see when your eyes are shut and things you hear that have no souncf. Those are the things, of the soul and of the mind. The beauty of the world is not wholly outside you, and there are still but powerful voices that say: "Hope! Believe! Serve! Be useful!" I am sorry for all those to whom life is only a material thing to be destroyed at will. But I am sorry for them not so much because they take their lives but Commentary by i REV. R.

R. FRITSCH, D-D. bargaining. It is not over unemployment. What then are these strikes about? It is over a complex of causes which may be diagrammed as follows: From labor's standpoint: 1.

It docs not pay to work because the purchasing power of the dollar is constantly receding. The OPA has not, in spite of all the ballyhoo of its current managers, been successful in flouting the law of supply and demand. The Black Market therefore continues to operate even more than the Bootleggers did during Prohibition. The result is that the dollar does not buy what the individual wants or needs or thinks he needs. Unless money can buy, money has no immediate value.

If then a worker is to have a reduced total weekly income, popularly called the "Take Home Wage," in a market of rising prices, he sees no reason for taking it. And curiously, he does not blame faulty governmental policies and operations: he blames his employer, who is really as helpless as he is. The Government is the catalyst of trouble. 2. The worker Is neither desperate nor helpless.

I am not talking about exceptions, of which obviously there are many. Generally speaking, the worker has cash on hand. He has savings; he has bonds; he has accumulated compensation. He can last a while without working. He can gamble on some improvement in wages and in purchasing power.

3. The labor leader is fighting for his union and its power. In the Roosevelt Administration, the C.I.O. could depend upon the White House to pull everything through by one method or another, by seizure of the plant, by charming personal appeal, by a speech over the radio, by the utilization of war contracts, RFC, Income tax investigations, anything, in their interest. The Truman Administration lacks similar skill and understanding.

Every step of the President or his advisers, adds to the confusions. Mr. Truman seems unable to deal in general principles. He can improvise politically, but, lacking breadth of knowledge of the country and its leading personalities, he turns for advice to those whom he knows personally men of small affairs like himself, without national experience. His confusions are tragic.

From management's 1. Management cannot function efficiently with constant and increasing Interference by government and the unions. American industry suffers now -from a decreasing efficiency. Just as labor uses the phrase "Take Home Wages," so management uses the term "headache." It just does not pay to take the "headaches." Nobody needs to live that way. Nobody needs to earn a living that way, particularly if a man has a dollar in the bank and an inflated stock in his box.

Nobody needs to put up with Walter Reuther's guff or with the silliness and attitudinizing of the various government boards. 2. Management in the United States is trained to produce profits an adequate compensation for the use of tools and adequate savings to replace tools. It knows no other reason for operating. It cannot produce efficiently or at a profit under current government policies; therefore, it cannot operate at all.

Time was when a policeman was assigned to special study of that important social condition and when a group of local citizenry made it its business to stem such delinquency the instant that it erupted in some boy or girl. Recent episodes in this community's life indicate that this problem continues with us. So It may be well to take up again and reexamine the problem. In this some aid may be secured from the ideas developed through a coordinated program for handling and preventing juvenile delinquency in the Chicago Park District, an Independent governmental agency of that city.

One feature of the program, which makes use of all facilities of the organization, is an advisory committee established by the department of personnel, consisting of leading Chicago sociologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, recreation leaders, and police officers. One result of this committee's work has been the establishment of a Youth Bureau, in the division of police. In staffing the fiew Youth Bureau, members of which were drawn from the personnel of the division of police, particular effort was made to secure persons whose training and interests made them particularly adaptable to the new activity. Those whose qualifications met preliminary standards attended a special institute in which the sociological, psychological, and legal aspects of delinquency were emphasized. The staff of the bureau was selected from among those attending the institute, on the basis of their demonstrated competence.

Other aspects of the Park district delinquency control program include a unit for the development of statistics on juvenile problems, and instruction in the prevention of juvenile delinquency in the regular police training school, which is attended by patrolmen, sergeants, and lieutenants.

PUMPERNICKLE BILL headings of Psalms 59 and 60 that these Psalms grow out of the experience of David, described in 1 Samuel 19 and 2 Samuel 8.

They may have a little less interest for the general reader than the better known Psalms, just because they concern one man and his personal difficulties. But the prayers of David as a rule have a larger application than merely to himself, for he is Interested not so much in his own case, but rather, as God's representative, in what his fortunes may mean for his people Israel and for the honor of God Himself. In 59:13 David prays for deliverance from his enemies, who are for that reason God's enemies, that they may know that God rules in Jacob, that is, Israel, unto the ends of the earth. The "Selah" immediately following asks us to stop a moment to consider the importance of the when tempted to engage in unholy alliances, it will be well to observe the prayer of Ps. 60:11 and 12, "Give us help from trouble, God, for vain is the help of man.

Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is That shall tread down our enemies." HOME REMEDIES Time was my mother brewed for me A bitter draught of senna tea.
