HAMILTON Consumer Beware is the title of a book, which we have not found time to read yet, but the title could be used for another book, with the addition of another word or two. Consumer Beware of Ralph Nader should be a best seller if someone would just write it. A headline on the front page of a recent paper quoted Nader's advice to the delegates to the annual conference of the Consumer Federation of America. Consumers must start, own NEW CHANNELS ANGLES.

Nader- has been creating havoc in the business world for a long time, with very little opposition from the Big Businesses of TV and newspapers. It would seem that since businesses pay for the expensive commercials on TV. there would be a little opposition to Nader's wild proposals heard once in a while. Opposing viewpoints are few and far between. In our opinion, Ralph Nader is a very important part of the hated establishment he seems to attack. Indeed, on close examination his flowery words and pro consumer proposals always lead to more and more government controls over those same consumers. Many of his past actions have mislead gullible politicians into passing bills which have cost the consumer more tax money and resulted in more controls over industry, which caused higher prices to the consumer. t GEORGE NIEDERHAUSER themselves, such as: law suits against Obit 9dultklel S3 Consumers should buy and sell everything from food to auto insurance!.

And one last thought. This case is a perfect one to illustrate how legislators respond to the voice of the people when the people will go to the trouble of intelligently speaking up. All too often we hear criticism of the legislators by some citizens who will never lift a finger to provide their legislators with accurate information. Let this be a good lesson to us, and let all of us be more active in political affairs in the future.. .for a 1973 Better America!

If the 94th Congress intends to earn its keep, it should start by investigating Ralph Nader. It would be very interesting to find out who decided he should speak for all consumers. How his activities are financed should be one for the history books. |
