In a statement of policy made '

existing privately operated tele

ist, in a non-political way, is

over whether the current bally-

SCENE
Prepared By Central Preu
WASHINGTON — High Gov
ernment officials—including many ;
who were recruited to the Eisen
hower administration from ,the
ranks of big business—believe 1
that old-fashioned American ।
salesmanship will go a long way
toward solving present economic
problems. 1
These men point out that liquid
assets in the United States are
four times the 1940 totals, with:
double the purchasing power;
that ample credit is available at
reasonable rates, and that personal 1
savings and income are higher
than ever before, and more even
ly distributed.
The experts say that these
things add up to vast purchas
ing power, which can be unlock
ed by the kind of salesmanship
। that became 3* lost art during the
era of wah-borne prosperity, in
which the demand for consumer
goods exceeded the supply.
Administration spokesman are
; particularly irked at what they
have labeled “Prophets of gloom
and doom,’’ for fear that wide-
I spread pessimism may intimidate
potential customers into hoarding
iheir money.
They believe that salesmen,
earnestly selling their wares in the
rugged competitive spirit once
' characteristic of the American
way, can be the best weapon
against a recession.
SAVINGS — A congressional
, committee recently was impress
ed by facts and figures concern
j ing one of these prosperity fact
ors—savings. They were given to
j the joint Huse-Senate economic
'.committee by Arthur A. Smith,
I vice president of the First Na
i tional Bank of Dallas Texas.
He’said that despite rising price
1 the American people have saved
more money since 1939 than in
any similar period in United
. Stales history. A point worthy es
note, he said, is that the “vast
j majority of people who save do
not themselves determine the real
■ economic use to which their sav
ings are put.”
The banker explained that such
decisions are made largely by in
stitutions with which people have
entrusted their savings-banks,
aving and loan associations and
insurance firms.
Smith said the big problem still
remaining in*the American eco-;
nomic picture is that “despite the
fact we are the most advanced
people in the world in matters,
economic, we still have not found
for sure what it is that swings the
economy periodically from ex
pansion to contraction”
Smith urged a doubling of ef
orts to find out the identity of the
“ingredient” in the ‘econmic pie"
which causes it to sag.
BIG FOUR — Perhaps the
•greatest accomplishment of the
Big Four Foreign Ministers Con- j
ference tn Berlin was to give the
West an insight into Soviet for
eign policy under Premier Georgi
Malenkov.
Although this was a purely
negative result, and added up to i
no more than an extension of i
cold war tensions inaugurated .
under the late Joseph Stalin, it!
nevertheless has given the Allies a |
factual basis on which to plan in]
the field of foreign policy.

it advantageous for the Kremlin
to seek settlements.
This realization brought about
an end to the Berlin blockade and
to the Communist uprising in
Greece. It is what the free world is
working for in Indo-China, what
the Allies hope has been accom

For the West, it has become ax

Russia out of a position of eco

(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State) Thursday,
problem using legislation al- !
ready passed by Congress.
Senator Paul Douglas raises
another large question in public
mind. “Why is government per
mitting trade to continue with
communist-controlled nations?
He cites, for example, trade
with Poland, under Kremlin con
trol, increases. Imports from Po- I
land in 1951 totalling $10,300,000
rose to $1,518,000 during the
first ten months of 1953.
Apparently answering rumors
trade with Iron Curtain nations
is necessary to obtain certain
vital materials. Senator Douglas ■
also quotes figures.
Imports of Polish canned ham,
shoulders and bacon which in
1951 totalled $3,956,060 amount to
$9,905,000 in first ten months of
1953. And increased importation
of communist pork is in face oi
domestic farm surpluses.
Sen. Douglas states under the
Acts bf 1890 and 1930 White
House has authority to embargo
imports. While Polish trade is
not large, it is vital to Soviet Po
lish economy.
Best evidence of this is fact
Polish communist government
I now takes action to stop flow of
' relief packages to unfortunate
Polish people.
—
But now the Polish government
। will collect a lax of $125 on
every new or used dress receiv
ed from the U. S., sls on a pair
of children’s shoes, $37.50 on a
pair of men's shoes, and right
। down the line with confiscatory
taxes.
On the other hand, Polish gov
ernment announces no tax on
relief parages ordered through
its official P.K.O. Trading Incor
poration, located at 25 Broad
Street, New York. In other _

words, Poland, as all communist
nations, hungers for dollars.
In 1952, even Russia gained
$16,742,000 dollars by exports to
the U. S. Our exports totalled
only S2O thousand to Russia.
And while many experts claim
that the present Russian govern
ment will collapse of its own
weight, that collapse is undoubt
edly delayed by dollar bulwark
ing.
So again the people seem far
ahead of politicians.
While the American public
dearly loves a Roman circus for
a while, eventually Americans
want action.
And from indications at grass
roots level the average citizen
is now expecting government on
communism issue to either “put
up or shut up.”
