Editorial Comment...
SHRUNKEN WORLD
(Exchange)
Fortunately, not all legislative
proposals are controversial, j
Some are given near-unanimous |
support. That seems to toe the'
case with the bill to establish an
office of International Travel.
Offices will be located in key
locations abrond. with the pur-
pose of encouraging travel to
this country and to provide in-
terested people with informa-
tion they want and need.
We have been r-ie only nation
of any consequence without such
a travel service. That lack has
'been costly. We suffered what
might be termed a "travel defi-
cit" of about a million dollars
last year. That was the dif-
ference between what American
tourists spent abroad £nd visi-
tors from abroad spent with us.
It is one reason why our gold re-
serves declined.
Moreover, the government is
taking some other long needed
steps. It is relaxing old and
needless rules which discouraged
and sometimes even insulted
prospective tourists to this coun-
try, and is simplifying the visa
procedure.
The jet airplane has shrunk
the world. European recovery
has given great numbers of peo-
ole the wherewithal to visit the
United States. Steps that can be

all to the good. And—most im-
portant—meetings and minglings
of peoples of many nations have
a positive bearing on the great
cause of world peace and un-
derstanding.
BUSINESS IN A
FREE SOCIETY
(Exchange)
"Freedom is indivisible. Any
act which deprives an individual
of some portion of his freedom
is a threat to all who enjoy these
freedoms.
"In a sense, l'ree enterprise as
a system is suspect in the minds
of many. But this is f. reflection
of the past. Every freedom pos-
sessed by man has a history of
license—man has always had to
learn to live responsibly with
whatever degree o f freedom
possessed." 1
These worfls were spoken bv
Charles H. Kellstadt, chairman
of the Board of Sears Roeibuck
and Company, at the ground-
I breaking ceremony for the
' A -nerican Freedom Center of
1 Freedoms Foundation at Valiey
( which will include a
"'"rary to be known as the Sears
Roebuck Library.
Mr. Kellstadt dealt at some
length with the responsibilities
and duties of busness in a free
society. And of the free enter-
prise system he said: "It is the
customer's freedom to choose;
business' freedom to compete,
that makos a free market—one
means nothing without the other.
An enterprise which does not
respect the customer's freedom
has no claim for respect of its
own freedom." This is a truth
which can be overlooked only at
grave peril.

GRASS ROOTS OPINION
TUCKERTON, N.J., BEACON:
"Not until shortly before noon
on Tuesday of every working
week does the average taxpayer
start working to support himself
and his family.
"The tax experts figure that
it takes the first 11 hours and 25
minutes of the 40-hour working
week for the taxpayer to make
enough money to pay all of the
taxes—both obvious and hidden
—levied by the Federal, state
and local governments."

"I know many, many folks in
their 80's and "O's and beyond
who have saved their money,
worked hard, taken pride in
possession of their modest homes
and have never asked for a
dime. But suddenly the poli-
ticians and the something-for-
nothing people letch onto an
idea and work it to the hilt. Be-
cause there are some unfortunate
elderly people who through no
fault, of their own are needy
(and by all means let us take
care of them) these Dolitieians
and welfare staters build up an-
other his fat trmmick. this time
housing for the aged—the poli-
ticians to make themselves
popular with the masses—and
the something-for-nothing people
visualizing another easy way out
from this horrible life of provid-
ng for ourselves and planning
for the future."

was to throw it into a bar room
full of people who had heckled
him. He lit the gasoline, burn-
ing some of the people badly.
The police caught the culprit
and he went to prison.
The burned bar patrons sued
the gas station owner, claiming
that Jones should not have sold
the gas: A city law said that gas
should be pumped only into car
tanks or into metal containers
with cap or screw.
The court held: Gas stations
seli dangerous goods. The city
law aims to protect the public.
Jones was negligent in selling
the gas in an open bucket. A
jury should decide if he should
have known the gas might be
wrongly used. If so, he would
be liable for damages.
If a person negligently sets
the stage for a later criminal
act, he may have to pay for the
damfge if he could have reason-

hood boy gets it and shoots

blame; but not if the boy broke
into your home and stole the
gun, for you could not have fore-
seen this.
In a famous case, a young lady
bought a train ticket to one
town. Mistakenly she rode be-
yond the town stated on
ticket. A conductor found
error, stepped the train, and
the girl off in the middle of

next town which meant wa!

hobos attacked her. She sued
the railroad and the court held
it was liable. The conductor
should have foreseen what might
happen.
Recently a construction firm i
left a bulldozer unlocked. Van* J
dais started the bulldozer, drove
if for awhile. Later, unable to
stop it, they headed it toward a j
hill. The bulldozer ran into
several homes and a car before
it came to a stop. The court
said that the contractor should
have foreseen the likelihood of
vandals and locked the Bulldoz-
er. The contractor was held
liable.
