He Pulled A Boner
The big flare-up has on the sur
face quieted down that followed
President Truman’s impulsive af
front attacking the Marines. .The
spark was set off when the Presi
dent in dictating a letter wrote: “For
our information the Marine Corps is
the Navy’s police force and so long
as 1 am President that is what it wi.l
remain. They have a propaganda
machine that is almost equal to Sta
lin’s.’’ In short order when confront
ed with a storm of protest and in
dignation he called the Corps com
mandant to his office and handed
him a letter of apology regretting
his language.
It was another case of the Presi
dent pulling a “boner" and especial
ly at a critical period when the unit
ed efforts and cooperation of all de
fense branches is imperative. It was
a case of marching up the hill and
right back down. Or to put it an
other way, the President was forced
to eat "crow". The American people
wish the President would think be
fore he speaks.
Strange Words We Say
President Truman in his message
to the American people a few nights
ago set up a powerful new wage-
price-production control system to
steer the nation through these peri
lous times, and he told us that the
defense program will cost more than
530.000.000,000 annually. He also
said that the war we are in will de
mand sacrifices from every Amer
ican, and that is asking ,little when
we see young men figntihg and dy
ing m Korea. ' J-l
In his projMJsed program he sug
gests harder work and longer hours
lor everybody. That is a surprise sug
gestion from a New Deal spender
of his magniture. The theory preach
ed by government the past sixteen
years has been short hours and lit
tle work. And because of this doc
trine welfare and assistance rolls
have grown by the thousands and
become an enormous and expensive
national and state set-up when they
were started as emergency meas
ures. The tragedy is that so many
people don’t want to work because
government has encouraged loafing
and lack of initiative.
was all but true. But if the democ
racies continue to labor under the
impression that they can do business
as usual until such time as the U.
N. persuades Stalin to abandon his
plans, then their lives will have been
thrown away and ours will remain
in dire peril.
It isn’t fair to place the entire
blame upon the various national
governments alone. When the sec
ond world war ended, it was the
people who demanded immediate
return home of all troops, and that
was natural, even from those posi
tions around the world which mili
tary brains knew must be held
against a threat that was only too
apparent. The people forced their
governments’ hands—where they
needed forcing—and they allowed
their governments to make the most
outrageous mistakes.
Take China as an illustration. And
even at this moment when nearly
everyone feels that the Korean af
fair is the beginning of war to the
finish, our government and most of
our people still remain hypnotized
by the Red propaganda which de
prived us of an extremely impor
tant! fortification which might win
for us—Spain. Regardless of what
President Truman says in his an
nounced public decision to hold up
a heavy loan which Congress di
rected be made, Spain should be
brought into the defensive lineup
against possible Russian attack in
Europe. Common sense tells us that
it is time to gather all of the anti
communist countries we can into
our defense program.

tion as she waved “good-by" and
started off to the halls of learning.
Tonight we talked about school.
She told me about the girl who sits
in front of her—the little girl with
the yellow curls—and the boy across
the aisle who makes funny faces.
She told me about her teacher, who
has eyes in the back of her head, and
about the trees in the schoolyard
and about the big girl who doesn’t
believe in Santa Claus. We talked
about a lot of things—tremendous
ly vital, important things and then
we studied spelling, ' reading and
arithmetic, and then to bed.

She is a nice kid. She can run 1
like a deer and darts about like a >
chipmunk. She likes to ride horses
and swim and hike with me bn Sun- j
day afternoons. But I can’t be with'
her all the time—I have to work to,

for her and the other children? Please
drive slowly past the schools and
intersections—and . please remember
that children do run from behind
parked cars.
Please don’t run over my little girl.
Thank you.

has to say to the drivers of the na

so highly of it that copies were dis

When you plan sandwiches to go
with another food, vary their flavor
with proper seasonings, and they’ll
be more tempting.
For an apple-cheese salad, spread
sandwiches with butter that has been
creamed with a dash or two of nut
meg.
Stir in a bit of shredded orango
or lemon rind for sandwiches that
are intended to be served with a
fruit and cottage cheese salad plate.
Those who like a cold glass of milk
with a sandwich find that a spoon
ful of honey or chocolate sauce mix
ed with butter for spread is refresh
ing.
Add just a touch of prepared mus- J
tard or horseradish to give zest for |
sandwiches which are to be spread
with cold cuts or eggs.

What The Korean
War Means
The names of those who are now
giving their lives for their country
and for human liberty should be in
scribed upon the rolls of honor of ev
ery civilized nation in the world, and
should be placed where man can
see them and revere them always.
They have been thrown into a gap
which was becoming wider as time
and political ambitions overshadow
ed patriotism and plain horse sense
which those in authority in Wash
ington painfully lack. They have
been sacrificed upo» the altar of
international stupidity; their stories
should be a lesson to governments
and peoples for generations to come.
If the Korean affair is taken ser
iously, and what of the free world
that is left, at long last, realizes
that there is no such thing as ap
peasement in this struggle for world
domination, their sacrifice will not
have been in vain. Remember we
were told that World Wars I and II
were to make Democracy safe; that
