comes ahead of defense. A nation
with millions depending solely on
the government—a status we are fast
approaching—has no energy to con
sider defense.
It is doiibtful if any such realiza
tion has come here yet to cause more
than temporary worry. The emer
gency the president proposes is a
compromise emergency. Although the
defense need may be tragic, he has
no idea of cutting ofif the millions for

group in Congress, led by President
Truman, dedicated to a continuation
of the New Deal, and at a time when
unity is extremely important, it is
practically non-existent. There are
no clear goals, positive leadership
is lacking, and all of this further ag
gravates the situation. The social
and reform legislation that has char-
acterized the Fair Deal during the
past five years, should be buried once
and for all, and an end put to ex
travagance. We are confronted with
a war.
Louis Bronrfield, a columnist of
national reputation, puts his finger
on some of the issues confronting us,
in his column this week he said :
“At a recent Democratic political
dinner in New York City costing $100
a plate, there was much talk about
unity, about bipartisanship, about
support of our leaders. Indeed, the
talk seemed to b 600 " 1 ® toe wail of
distress. I think it could be stated
itumeStly that there is nothing more
desired by the people of the United
• States today than unity plus some
definite non-political policy both at
home and abroad, plus leadership
tfrom men in whom the people might
have faith.
"We have none of these things at
a period of terrible crisis and it is
not the fault of the people save inso
far ac they elected as President a man
of no background, of narrow political
views, cursed with the qualities of
-fttRybomness and Vindictiveness who
has made more bad appointments of
cronies to positions of great import
ance than any President in the his
tory of the United States.
