Penalties against firms and individuals in the electrical Industry for fixing prices and submitting rigged bids in violation of the anti Trust Laws. Jail sentences and nearly $1 Mii Ilion in fines were imposed in the first Lound of sentencing yesterday in the Case that involves nearly from the standpoint of our Economy. Has been the give away program beginning with the Marshall plan and coi Isumu to this Day and beyond in various forms of Aid. This has involved Export of dollars allocation of Gold from our coffers to that of other nations and the loss of Revenue to american industrialists and workers it is impossible to abolish at a moment s notice every kind of foreign Aid without antagonizing Many More nations which have accustomed themselves to drawing upon is for their needs. Much that has actually happened was duly described in Advance of the Quot occurrence by those who have recorded the entire foreign iad program As misconceived and surely As very badly handled. Nevertheless we have gone through with it and now face the position of the Man who outlived his own generosity and has to ask for support from those whom he aided. Then reply quite naturally is that they have problems of their own. These two items the Dollar and unemployment Are not postpone Able and the solutions to them must produce results. Feeding unemployed workers is not giving the up jobs. It is not a solution it is a palliative. Giving out food Stamps Only puts americans on the Dele a grandiose program of Public works will not provide permanent jobs this country has had a Long and trying experience with welfare state remedies which reduced the dignity of the american individual and tied him to government. We need a better device than a Dole we need jobs. This is what president Kennedy faces. His program of palliative will help but they will net solve the problem which is to produce goods at prices which Wal make them competitive in the markets of the world including the american Home Market.

It can be traced Back in some phases earlier than 1958 the accumulation of problems relating to unemployment inflation a weak Dollar an inadequate Gold Reserve Are now in president Kennedy slap. It does not matter that it is not his fault what does matter is that he and his administration must meet and solve these problems and that he has no time to waste. Men will not be patient about Lack of jobs and inadequate household supplies. It is a Tough Prospect but if the Best minds Are put to work on it shall have results.
