C. # Thursdoy, September 25, 1952 Number 39 AN OPEN LETTER TO A CANDIDATE Editorial from The Dallas. Texas. Mornings News to Candidate Stevenson Adlai Stevenson, Governor of Illinois. Dear Governor Stevenson: Your formal speech at Springfield Thursday could he heartening to con stitutionally nrnded Americans. You deprecated authoritarian government in Washington. You spoke out for the constitutional rights of the states. You urged stoppage of the “tidal drift" of government services to the national capital. These are principles, Governor, written into the Constitution and years. Were it possible to find “mas terminds’ so unselfish, so willing to decide unhesitatingly against their j own personal interest or private pre judices, men almost godlike in their | ability to hold the scales of Justice with an even hand—such a govern ment might be to the interests of the country, but there are none suilh on our political horizon, and we can not expect a complete reversal of all the teachings o^history. “Now, to bring about the govern- 1 ment by oligarchy, masquerading as democracy, it is fundamentally es-; sential that practically all authority j and control be centralized in our National Government. The individ ual sovereignty of our states must first be destroyed, except in merej minor matters of legislation. Wc are- safe from the danger of any such! departure from the principles on rneant to stay there.

These constitute the govern mental faith of The Dallas News. By them we have stood and, please God, expect always to stand. Apparently ybu. agree also,gover nor, that this is the faith of the American people, that they will pre fer to vote for a candidate who ex presses his faith in them. So also ap parently spoke the Governor of an other state, Mr. Stev#»n'on, a Demo cratic governor who was running with all his might and main for the presidency of the United States. That Governor said: so long as the individual home rule! of the states is scrupulously pre-i served and fought for whenever they} seem in danger.” That, Governor Stevenson, was Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, speaking in March, 1930. He was to say the same thing again and again and again until a credulous .people elected him President in November, 1932. He took office in March, 1933, on a platform that spoke as firmly for State’s rights as ever had Samuel Tilden or Grover Cleveland or A1 Smith.

In addition, there are great! j anc j j or m jUjons of years; but it is quantities of aluminum, calcium, chlorine, copper, flourine, lithium, it now rapidly increasing in food values. While the farms of the west are gradually getting poorer through erosion and cultivation, the sea is constantly becoming richer. Every rain throughout the great agricultural west washes minerals, vitamins and other food products from the soil into the riv ers and finally into the sea. A large portion of fertilizer being put on the soils finally goes into the ocean, while the rich sewerage of our large cities is making the sea a great storehouse for future foods. Readers who are interested in these new possibilitis should talk with Dr. Henry B. Bigelow of the Oceanographic Institution at Woods Hole, Massachusetts or the Scripts Institution at La Jolla, California. Lesson of History During the early days of Glou cester, the chief industry was the cutting of timber, the sawing of boards, and the building of small vessels. Most of Massachusetts was then heavily wooded. By 1800 the timber of Cape Ann had largely ben cut and shipbuilding moved to Essex. The next indus try was the granite industry. Most of the Federal buildings of Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia and other large cities were built of Cape Ann granite. The “waste was made into paving stones, which paved the streets of these cities. But concrete and asphalt came along and killed the granite business. Although the fishing business had always existed in a small way A CKIDIT TO SOUTH CAtOUMA yet it had not fully developed until the granite business began to peter out. Later came the “summer peo pie.” Unfortunately, due (1) to the fish.changing their habits of abode (2) to unreasonable labor demands, and (3) in increasing foreign im portations, the fishing business, as now conducted, may be on the de- clii c. But I am not wmrried as to the future. I believe that with the establishment of the new school for Fisheries the wealth of the sea will^ continue to make Gloucester and other seaports prosperious. Instead of filleting plants, Glou cester will have chemical works, pharmarceutical factories and will can the small planktonic organ isms heretofore neglected.
