Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - June 29, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol. 91, no. 152 it. Pleasant Iowa monday evening june 29, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain the spectre of Edward Heath Bonn a to work a switch on the communist manifesto of 1848, a spectre is haunting the social democrats of Europe a the spectre of Edward heaths almost totally unexpected conservative Victory in great Britain. It is too Early to say that the end of Harold Wilson a regime in England foreshadows the doom of his Continental counterpart Willy Brandt in West Germany. But the failure of the British labor party a nominal socialists like the social democratic party Here a comes at a time when the West germans Are concerned with a creeping paralysis in their governments economic policies. People Are suddenly asking if the social democratic free democratic coalition which now rules in West Germany is the wrong government in the wrong place at the wrong time. Too True enough the social democrats have Long since abandoned Karl Marx who came from Over the Hills from Bonn in the Moselle Valley City of Trier. But can men who absorbed socialism virtually with their mothers milk know How to run a full employment Economy without yielding to perpetual inflation socialist policies after All were designed to lift a nation out of depression without regard to the ultimate health of the monetary unit. Socialist everywhere seem to wind up As captives of the Trade unions which want that next pay raise without regard to what happens to people on fixed incomes. However the fixed income people in the world continue to increase with the growth of pension systems and social Security. Brandt a socialist obtained his lease of Power from a nation that had become negligent about economics for the moment it was a Promise of Ost politic or wooing the East european communists into a political detente that put Brandt in the chancellors seat. Nobody had any real reason to suppose that Ost politic might be successful but the mood a few Short months ago when i was previously in West Germany was geared to giving it a try. If talking to the East necessarily do any great Good at least it Hurt to find out the limits of the possible. Ost politic has dragged because the Kremlin policy is to temp Orize in Europe while it faces its real problems in the Middle East and Asia. It Wasny to Brandts fault Here but Brandt had set himself up As an activist. When economic troubles rushed to the fore he was expected to be activist on a different front. Here Willy a socialist training has betrayed him socialists done to know How to Call for discipline at the top of a Boom. Brandt has revealed himself As no economic activist at a time that a Strong hand is needed. Too the situation has its personal aspects. The Bundesbank the Federal Reserve of West Germany wants to see taxes raised and even paid in Advance. It wants tougher depreciation policies. It wants to run a budgetary surplus. These Are needed to Cool the Price Rise that has germans illogically or not looking Back to 1923 and 1945, when inflation coincided with no goods to sell because wars had wiped out the Industrial system. The personal element creeps in when Brandts minister of economics Karl Schiller sides with the Bundesbank and Brandt fails to listen. The irony is that Schiller paved the Way for a social democratic free democratic coalition by his effective work As a member of the older Christian democratic social democratic grand coalition. Schiller has a Quick mind which he is willing to change and is prepared to move fast. But Brandt who is not an economist is slow. And he has the socialist disposition to resist discipline when All the workers seem to be at work and nobody is visibly suffering. Fail to kill withdrawal legislation Washington up a anti War senators Defeated today a move by administration supporters to kill legislation to Force the withdrawal of All u. S. Troops from Indochina by july i 1971. The administration supporters sought to bring up the proposal for an immediate vote. But the Antiwar bloc which admits it does not have enough votes at this time to pass it won Senate approval to have the vote postponed until later in the summer when it Hopes to have the necessary backing. The proposal is the so called Mcgovern Hatfield t amendment co sponsored by Sens. George s. Mcgovern d.-s.d., and Mark o. Hatfield . The Senate voted 62-29 to reject the move by administration supporters. Too sen Gordon Alcott r colo., chairman of the Senate Republican policy committee took the unique possibly unprecedented step of adopting the Mcgovern Hatfield amendment As his own and introducing it he demanded a vote denouncing the measure As reckless unconstitutional and unprecedented. Sponsors of the amendment labelled allotto a tactic pure partisan politics. As of now the Mcgovern Hatfield amendment Only has about 30 votes buts its backers Hope to build a majority later in the year. The vote came As the Senate neared the end of a six week debate on Cambodia. The Senate has scheduled a ballot tuesday on the Cooper Church amendment which would bar funds for a return of . Troops to Cambodia. So the German Drift into a mild inflation that is a psychological bogy continues. Meanwhile the social democrats have lost ground in the local elections. Finally the potent looms from overseas a government in Britain that was philosophically very close to Brandts is ignominiously tossed out despite the Public opinion polls and the weight of Liberal prophecy. The conservative trend in the world continues to grow. People May give Liberal or socialist answers to or. Gallup hut when they get into the voting Booth they press the conservative levers.
