Editorial—
Millions For Masochism
The Marxist government of Chile has expropriated
Ameiira'h property which the former owners estimate
is worth .between $500 million to SI billion. (When a go-
temme.nt out Deck ten property, it's called expropriation;
wire: an hid.virtual does the same, thing, it's called by
its proper name, theft.)

- the tight-lingered habits of Salvador Allende's re-
cluse: the State Department proposes that the U. S. gov-
ernment subsidize a stll million loan (gift) to enable
Chile to enlarge its national airline. The Defense De-
'p.rment has already provided credits (another gift)
lor the purchase of $5 million of weapons
After all. how can the Marxl ts chase out the Ameri-
can capitalist < unless they have arms ’
.John R. Conna.lly, a relative newcomer to American
foreign policy which seems to he to reward the enemy
thinks ttie State Department's strategy is self-defeat-
ing because the loan , would took like a reward for. ex-
propriat ion.

tion to restore some vanity to 'he American govern-

and the Inter-American Development Bank not to lend

All of the banks are the beneficiaries of large done*
of American capital .which is usfifl for high-risk, low-in-
terest loans that private institutions have-more sense
than to make.
Obviously Coiinally knows his banks. The Inter-
American Bank has tied up some $200 million of U. S

at * time when the US. is
achieving wonders in space and
when its economic system con-
and moral traditions, can be
traced directly to the dominant
liberal and now New Left —
President Nixon, In an Address to the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, commented on the a111 -"
tude of youth toward business. He observed, "-Everyone
, . .has heard some young person perhaps even his own
son say something like this: ‘I don't want to go Into
business. That nlne-to-five rat race is not for me. I want
to do something to help people.' ” The President then
vlded. "The simple truth is this: No government agency,
no philanthropy, no voluntary organization or founda-
tion has done as much to help people as the private en-
terprise system.”
The President's timely remarks are highly welcome
a* the Santa Paula, California, Daily Chronicle says edi-
torially. Seldom has a government leader given the pri-
vate enterprise system its just due. Not only does it keep
all w'hfi want 1! at work and receiving regular paychecks,
health Insurance, pension and other benefits, it contin-
uously donates large sums to charities and provides
leadership and funds for civic enterprises. It gives incen-
tives to men and women to work, to improve themselves;
their homes, their families and their environment. It
pays the large part of the taxes which maintain this
great nation and its people.”

National Chairman of Tha Highway Softly Foundation
fpHERE has been a lot of excitement recently about
*- the automobile air bag—a bag which, within frac-
tions of a second after impact, inflates in front of the
driver and front seat passenger, protecting them from-
being hurled Into the windshield or other areas of the
passenger compartment
Before we starting touting these bags
as the panacea for the nation’s tremen-
dous annual traffic death toll (over
1,000 victims a week), here are some
things to think about.
Air bags will not necessarily replace
the need to wear lap and shoulder saf-
ety belts. No traffic accident authority
in the country will assure your immu-
nity to injury in a traffic mishap if you
have an air bag equipped auto. There
are several highway safety authorities
Arthur Oodfray who contend that the air bag, if and
when it is perfected, will still not be as
effective in saving your life during a collision as the
combined use of the lap and shoulder belts already in-
stalled in your auto.
Lap and shoulder restraints are by far the, most ef-
fective safety devices currently available. American car
buyers have already invested an estimated $1 billion in
them since their inception. A recent survey, however, re-
veals that lap belts are only used by about 30 per cent of
front seat occupants and shoulder belts by fewer than
5 per cent If you’re sitting on your seat belt waiting
for the cure-all air bag, give that some thought.
Some disturbing reports about air bags have cropped
up recently. It is^said that manufacturers, having spent
millions of dollars for research and development, still
have not succeeded in removing all the “bugs.” And
some of the “bugs” are pretty big. One report, for ex-
ample, says that it would take the equivalent of a dyna-
ripstroy ihnxp prinoipN's is to| mite cap explosion to trigger an auto air bag, and that
'■ipthr confidence of Americans the increase in pressure and the noise involved could
;n rtrcntseivcs When the Viet-1 conceivably cause serious damage to the occupants it is
n nn war is over, their aims will . ■ , , nrotert
f< main as before, but they will PrOMCt.
Eventually, the air bag concept might be worked out
and prove to be an extremely valuable contribution to
highway safety. Meanwhile, thousands of motorists will
die, many because they didn’t bother to fasten their
safety belts. Safety belts are still your best bet for stay-
ing alive in an auto collision today and tomorrow.
internal and external policy, and

find a new focus for the attack
upon America's belief in itself.”
The ideological enemies of
America already have won vic-
tories. They have been success-
f d in peddling many of their
perverted ideas, in gaining
toleration for smut-[ieddk'rs and
in turning revolutionaries into
new folk heroes and the bene-
. fineries of radical chie. The
U S. Supreme Court has seen
to it that lawless elements have
a license to disturb the peace. |
