THIRTIETH DAY OF JULY NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY- THREE A SHINING BUBBLE To make promises in times of election is an accept ed ruie of the political game To promise the impossible with the knowledge that if the promises are kept harm will result is irresponsible and inexcusable To the average citizen the present national budget is beyond comprehension but voters should be advised to remem ber a few basic rules first that no party can promise cuts in defence spending and win approval nor can they promise cuts in social services the second largest item in the budget The opposition is even suggesting to go one belter and increase family allowances To service the national debt a fixed amount is nee- essary no matter who may be the prime minister If grants to the provinces are cut the provinces will be forced to raise taxes This leaves about one sixth of the budget or about million dollars to save from an amount largely made up of civil service salaries Depart ment of Agriculture costs the cost of Parliament and other items It is a very small amount from which to save million dollars or million dollars There is a means a government could employ for the sake of cutting taxes that of going into debt a stupid means even in election time Thus explodes the great bubble of tax cuts a shining bubble a bubble of great promises and in its explosion is evidence of the incomjetence of the oppo sition WHATS GOING ON SOUTH OF THE BORDER Americans are so concerned about protecting dem ocracy and their American way of life that they give the impression of being in constant fear of losing it to some foreign or evil influence Heading about US public affairs one sometimes gets the impression that western democracy is particularly vulnerable to other ideologies that Americans are afraid that it cannot stand up against them on its own merits We wonder could rotation too strong security measures lead to the eventual suppression of certain freedoms and eventually all freedoms Many say that it could not happen in the US so frenzied is the fear of communism in the United States at the present time that one could have many doubts about the freedom of speaking or even thinking in the US Here in Canada we have no Sena tor McCarthy nor a senate investigation committee which may serve subpoena on a citizen and grill him about his past activities before a battery of floodlights and television cameras Should such man and such a committee exist in Canada a prominent for example might be asked a question such as this Did you attend a Friendship to Russia meeting in Hall in To ronto in Then if he answers in the affirmative he might be asked this And how many other commun ists were with you Whether he answers or not the answer is suggested to the many thousands of radio listeners or television viewers leading questions like these are of the type Senator McCarthy asks American citizens among them leading scientists professors writers or And who is Senator McCarthy We are not very sure about his background either from what we read What are his ambitions Does not his torimfmie of incriminating citizens remind us of tech niques used in in the recent past What goes on in the US is of as much concern to Canadians as our own affairs north of the border but Canadian opinion not change the situation in the United States Many Americans think McCarthy Is a champion protecting their way of life Hes cleaning up the some say Others say he is a windbag that soon we will never hear of him Some worry about McCarthys influence on the pil lions of Americans whose thinking is so strongly influ enced by radio and television He has been described as antiintellectual Others scoff But public opin ion can be a great threat to the public itself It gathers momentum like a swinging pendulum and wrong man can use it to his own advantage to gain power How far will opinion swing with McCarthy We are reminded of warnings over a decade ago against complacent thinking during the success years of fascism in Europe about thinking that It cant happen here We wonder about the power a McCarthy is capable of seizing through the present day swing of American anticommunist opinion In spite of the scoffers a lot of other people are wondering too Could a man like McCarthy ever seize all the power in the United States From the Files of m and 50 Years Ago JULY Mr and Mrs
