FEBRUARY 27, 1958 THE BEAUFORT GAZETTE, BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA SECTION I PAGE 5 SENSING THE NEWS There seems to be a desperate scramble right now on the part of most everybody you can think of -Republicans, Democrats, economists, industrialists, the man-on-thestreet to find some way for the nation to get out of the current recession without anybody being hurt. That is a worthy objective, all right, but it is not realistic. We owe certain debts in this country -many of them in no way related to money that must sooner or later be paid. And paying debts always hurts. But just take our national monetary debt itself now approximately $275 billion.
We tried to spend ourselves out of a depression in the 1930s, with borrowed money, and the only result was to increase our national debt from $19 to $48 billion. Then fe fought World War II to a large extent on credit, increasing our debt to $265 billion, more or less.

O. Wall, Jr. USMC (Ret.) Owners Flowers Make" "What a Difference Bay at Carteret Sts. shamefully of all, we have continued to increase our debt in the prosperous post years we war should rapidly have been paying it off. It is submitted we could commit a no more dastardly crime than to pass this debt on to our children's children as if we were in no way responsible for it and yet that is what we give every of doing.
Right now Congress is considering the Administration request, already approved by the House, that the debt ceiling be raised by $5 billion, a request unworthy of a sound government. Instead, budget should be cut by at least $5 billion. A decrease in spending might hurt but is there any other way of being honest with future generations? Then taxes should be cut by a like amount, thus giving business and industry and individuals funds to reinvest to provide more plants and equipment to create more jobs. Cutting taxes might "hurt" the government spenders but it would help the nation. Instead of doing these things, however, all we hear about now is plans for increased spending on the part of the government.
bers of the Congress, who never seem to want to cut spending in an election year, are making ready to introduce bills for a big Public Works Program, for more government lending agencies, more spending along all lines anything except economizing and paying debts. Government spending has never yet brought this nation out of a depression and it never will. Free enterprise just does not work that way. Another debt this nation owes is to return this generation and future generations to an honest dollar and this is just as much a moral question as an economic question. When our government went off the gold standard in 1933, it violated sanctity of contract and broke its pledged promise to the people.
It took their gold, which they had earned and which was theirs, and gave them pieces of paper instead. Since then we have seen an orgy of spending without any automotic control on the part of the people and there will nev. er be any control until an honest dollar is with us once again. Since this entirely immoral act took place, we have witnessed an inflation of the dollar that has reduced its value more than half. Thus the government has drastically lowered the living standard of those least able to help themselves upon those depending upon life insurance, pensions, savings accounts, and fixed incomes of all sorts.
Sooner or later we must bring an end to this inflation, we must repent of our sins, or we shall eventually sink into the depths of degraduation that have always been the fate of nations that have followed this course, Inflation feels good to most people, while it lasts and bringing: it to an end- just like bringing the dope habit to an end hurts, but it must be done if we are to survive as a free nation.
