MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly in advance $3-00 Six Months : 2e0 CASE FOR LIBERALISM There is a constant temptation for Americans to believe be-lieve they have "arrived," and that if all other nations would only follow our American pattern of free enterprise enter-prise (based though it was and is, in a particular geographical geo-graphical and historical situation,) all would be well. Because our pattern has been so beneficial and effective effect-ive for so many, it is easy to look upon it as the only acceptable pattern, and to look upon any challenge to it as a threat against it. Yet the American way has been compounded of challenges. chall-enges. It arose out of a constant meeting of challenges and of a dedication to improvement through competition competit-ion and experiment. It grew out of the concept that "not even the best of the past is good enough." Dr. Harold Taylor, president of Sarah Lawrence College, expressed the need for continued free competition compet-ition of ideas in a lecture he made recently at a meeting sponsored by the National Student association and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Said Dr. Taylor: "The fearful ones who hate and condemn the liberalism liberal-ism in our colleges never suggest any additions to the store of human knowledge, but always subtractions. They want us to leave out the interesting and the vital parts, the parts which deal with current social issues, and they don't want students to take sides. They want us to be careful what we say, we must not offend anyone, any-one, we must preserve the gentility of the obvious, and the tedium of the uncontroversial. We must reserve our wildest enthusiasms for the status quo. There are actually act-ually some .... who are even suspicious of the status quo. It isn't quite status enough." There can be no doubt of the dangers inherent in communism, com-munism, but is it not also possible that at the other end of the scale there lies another danger a danger to the inherent dynamism of American life, the dynamism which has permitted us, throughout the years to accept the challenge of history while it was current.

The only thing clear Is that President Truman has tost control, If he ever had control; that a coalition coali-tion ' of. southern Democrats and northern Republicans are in the driven se&t and that what the President Presi-dent considered a mandate from the people as a result of the hut election, elec-tion, is not so considered by the members of congress. During the campaign the Presi dent declared that his program could nave been enacted Into law within 15 days by the Republican-controlled Republican-controlled 80th congress, but the Democratic-controlled 81st congress has fiddled away about 60 days and has done nothing but form an un holy alliance with a Republican fac tlon which has no program but op position to the Truman program. It Is significant that the leader lead-er of the conservative faction of the Republican senate, Senator Robert Taft, refused to join in the Demoeratic-RepabUcan coalition co-alition and voted to uphold the ruling of Vice-President Barkley which would have once and for all killed the threat of the filibuster. fili-buster. And so while the fllibusterers won out, they have made a farce of the congress and cost the taxpayers some $500,000, according to conserv ative estimates. Of this sum, some $50,000 was used up for the Congressional Con-gressional Record alone in printing the 700 pages of useless talkathon. Even the usually astute majority floor leader, John McCormack of Massachusetts, and Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas at least tempor arily lost control of the bouse majority ma-jority when they voted through a "home rule" rent control bill which was diametrically opposed to the administration ad-ministration two-year extension and tightening up of the present rent- control law. One of the most important questions on the Washington scene has been a decision of the Economic Recovery administration administra-tion to resell ECA or the Marshall Mar-shall Plan to the American people. The cave is simply the old American characteristic that when there is any money being spent, 1 want to get Bp to the trough." To the average Individual listening listen-ing to testimony in the senate hear ings one wonders whether or not ECA is a European Recovery Pro gram or an American Business Re covery Program.

The ECA or Congress, in meet cases both, have received 124 re quests ior some jum oi special ireaunent. If either the Congress or ECA listen" to these special interest pleas ECA is wrecked, accordinf to the observers here. Administrator Paul G. Hoffman has made it clear in the committee hearings that ECA is a European recovery program ana not an Amer-lean Amer-lean recovery program. It seems that when the erig. inal ECA at was passed in 1948 the objective was immediate En-ropean En-ropean Recovery which would, in the long m through general increase in trade, aid Americas, industry. At that time there were definite inflationary tendencies ten-dencies and eongress wag concerned con-cerned with curbing inflationary tendencies so as to minimize the impact of large exports upon our resources and the domestic economy and avoid Impairing the vital needs here at home. Since passage of the act, some of the Inflationary indications have been minimised and some industries indus-tries have felt the pinch of sur-, sur-, pluses. Now these industries want to increase their own exports ex-ports to rid themselves of surpluses. sur-pluses. Mr. Hoffman is opposed to writtoy specific provisions on specific com. modities Into the act This is his argument: . "We feel that congress wants v to keep constantly in mind, and first in mind, the fact that this Is a European Eu-ropean recovery program, that out of 42 million taxpayers in America, there are perhaps 30 million who get nothing directly out of this program pro-gram as far as any profits are cos-corned, cos-corned, so far as anything the; might want to sell to Europe Is concerned. con-cerned. What they get is only what we think is the important gain, and that Is recovery, and through recovery, re-covery, enduring peace ... "We do want to buy what we can buy, of course, in America, because in that way you have given direct support to the American economy. But we do feel that unless we are otherwise directed we should try to buy everything at the lowest possible price." And if these special Interests hare their way, these purchases will not be at the lowest possible price.
