UPLAI{D HEMLOCK and D0uGtAs FIR rn short, the only -.r*ao 1"r1. an. cutting of expenses of this government, is to cut off the supply at the source. If Congress won't vote it, they can't spend it. Congress showed its clear opinion on that matter before adjournment this summer by refusing to raise the debt limit as requested by President lke.

". The last two decades have tended toward an all-powerful Federal Government which has its fingers in your pocket, its foot on your throttle, its hands on your steering gear, tells you what to do all day and practically gets into bed with you at night. You don't reverse that sort of trend in a few days." (Bill Henry, in the Los Angeles Times.)

Some other newspaper:; ;"r. name and identity I don't remember, said something recently that caught my attention, and claimed my approval. He was talking about our expensive government an.d how it might be made more economical, and he said: "As long as we give it to them, they'll spend it."

Irlow the President n"" ""U* on all the Washington bureaus to cut expenses, hoping to reduce outlays sufficiently so that we can get by this fall without a special session of Congress to raise the debt limit. A worthy move. It will probably save a hundred thousand here and a million there, but what this country needs is to be able to cut off a billion here and other billions there. Minnows won't do; we've got to catch whales.

To a country boy *n" J" lr, an" sidelines and only knows what he reads in the papers, it always looks to me like we are straining at the gnat and swallowing the camel just like the good bool the Bible, tells about. We who have been broadcasting free money to all the world for many years to the tune of countless billions, can think of a better and bigger way to cut expenses than saving a few bucks in the bureau budgets. ***

We reprinted recently in this space the remark of a special writer in the Los Angeles Herald-Express who remarked that we have finally solved the age-old problem of supply and demand in our relations with Europe; "Europe don't supply anything, and we don't demand anything." So, in order to save the billions that we need to balance our books, let's just reverse that ticket; let's quit supplying and start doing some tall demanding, and hang onto our mone''

Do you, by any chance, ride the busses and the street cars these days, Junior? Do you hear what the man- and the woman- in the street say about what goes on? Do you know what they think about grab.bing a handful of cash out of every pay-check in this country in order to ship continuing billions abroad for so-called "aid" of various sorts ? Is there any doubt in your mind that if the people of this nation had a chance to vote on the matter, they would cut off that flow of billions abroad, and substitute therefor -iust a faint trickle of dollars? And only dollars for actual emergencies at that? Do you doubt it, Junior? *{<t<

Why don't we just quit trying to play God for a while, and give the rest of the world a chance to stand on its own feet? Who ever appointed 160 million Americans guardian, godfather, supporter, feeder and protector of a couple of billion people all over the wide earth? {<**

We got into this thing they call the United Nations, and the United Nations got us into Korea, and now look ! Korea, so they saR cost us 22 billions of dollars in direct expenses, and many additional billions in less direct fashion. It cost us the lives of 25,000 fine young Americans, any one of whom was worth more than the whole country of Korea.

the late great Robert Taft "damned with faint praise" not so long befor,e he died, we have signed up to send our men, our munitions, our treasure wherever war breaks out. We call it "aggression," but all war is aggression. ffave you stopped to think, Junior, that the world has been fighting somewher,e continuously from the beginning of time, and will probably always continue to do so? Which would mean that we are in for continual trouble from now on, outside our own borders.

we furnish most of the men, most of the blood, most of the casualties, most of the treasure, and most of everything that it takes to make and finance a war. What a pleasant prospect ! ***

In the last speech of his life made at Cincinnati, Mr. Taft spoke harsh words about the United Nations, a sample of which is: "I believe we might as well forget the United Nations as far as Korea is concerned." Later, according

Quality logs-quality performance ! Log truck transportation is a vital factor in Holmes Eureka operations-hauling the great Redwood logs to our sawmill'-transporting H-E Redwood over the highways to distributing points and to lumber yards. The quality of our truck drivers, like that of all H-E men and H'E products, has been outstanding. \7e are proud of their remarkable record----over 3-t/a million miles of highway driving during 18 years, without an accident in which anyone was hurt. H'E quality logs and, H'E quality perfotmance bring you H-E quality lumber!

And from the midst of the mob a woman's voice cried out: "With whose sons?" *** ft seems to me that "with whose sons?" may be heard more and more frequently in this country from American parents, as our continued enveloprnent in foreign affairs becomes more objectionable. t< {< t<

The opportunity fo3 this nation's getting into trouble abroad grows more abundant. I read that we have at present 89 major overseas air bases; and we have a great army of Americans trailing our arms and economic aid programs in 34 foreign countries. *** of small men should be substituted for those of men whom Almighty God with His own hand, created for advisers of this favored land.

We tread strange paths, we Americans of today. As thousands of Allied prisoners of war come staggering out of the Communist camps, bent and starved and broken by their barbaric captors, we read continually that the battle to seat Communist China in the United Nations is a very serious threat. What sort of a hellish situation is this where these uncivilized torturers are to sit in our civilized councils? We are told that Britain favors such action, yet British boys are among the victims of these yellow devils. What has come over the once strong men of Britain?

Of course r rcalizearr"a wl"nltgton was not a Franklin Roosevelt and Jefferson was no Harry Truman, but they were fairly intelligent and loyal Americans, whose expressed opinions still make a deep impression on all oldfashioned Americans. Times have changed, they say? Sure they've changed! And who changed them? Reminds me of the guy who murdered his parents and then asked for sympathy because he was an orphan. The fact is we don't belong, never did belong, and never should belong in'all the hundreds of horrid messes and situations throughout the world into which we have so deeply stuck our noses. And on that rock I stand. And what makes it sweet, is the fact that everyone to whom I talk and from whom I hearstands on that same rock.

They speak and write ; i"r;, of scorn about so-called "isolationists" these days. Well, Junior, listen to this ! If isolationist means a man who is for the United States first, last, and all the time, loves her, lives for her, puts her welfare high above that of all the remainder of creation put together, and hates to see one single American life sacrificed on the altar of European hates and embroilments; if that is what that word msans-anfl so it seemsthen I'm an isolationist; a double-decked, triple-plated, copper-riveted, lantern-jawed isolationist. They say rough things about "isolationists" today. But the things they say are fulsome flattery compared with what I think of these "One Worlders."

tiat t-o Americans by the name of Washington and Jefferson warned us with words as hard as cannon balls to stay away from European entanglements? Or has the wisdom of those mental and patriotic giants gone into our national discards? And when someone says to you, "Conditions are so changed that the advice of Washington and Jefferson no longer applies," just say to him "you lying old rascal, "you know that isn't true !"

L. A. Building Totqls Climb

Los Angeles construction in July, according to figures released from the office of Gilbert E. Morris, superintendent of Building and Safety in the City of Los Angeles, show that, for the first seven months of 1953, valuation on permits issued exceed by nearly $100,000,000 those of permits issued in the first seven months of. 1952.

Alterations and additions r wrote in this "n""" ,l".ittj auout how much r enjoy the Sunday noon broadcasts of one Bill Cunningham, who writes for the Boston Herald, and broadcasts out of Boston. Of all the terrific things that were written and spoken recently when the news came that the killing had stopped in Korea, a statement from Bill Cunningham came over the air that made all others seem pale. He spoke of the 25,000 American boys who died in Korea, and then he 'added in tones of thunder that he would rather be one of those dead boys, than one of the group of men who hamstrung MacArthur and thus kept him from winning the Korean war a long, long time ago. It took hours before my scarce hair got back flat on my head again. bringing 70 new family residences to the city, u'ere valued at $3O8,828. Grand total of families housed, according to the number of permits issued, totals 2,649.
