A Regular Chronicle Feature HISTORY SHOWS TOP MAN HAS TO FIGHT TO HOLD POSITION Bobson Sees Continu ation of Bottles for This Nation to Hold Present World Leadership. By ROGER BABSON Babson Park, Fla., Feb. 13. — It may be' out of place for me—a mere .statistician—to discuss Korea. 1 have visited Japan, China and the Phil ippines; but have never been to Ko rea. One of my experts, however, leaves this month on a round-the- world trip and will later bring' back a report which I will pass along to my readers. Importance of History Here at my winter headquarters I have a library of over 10,000 vol umes, some of which were published previous to 1760J While here the past | month I have spent 1 much time reading the history of the I modern world,' which dates back to the Roman Empire. There are two ou’- standing facts: (1) Some one nation was always the Bojer W. Babson -top dog.” (2) That nation was usually at war with some other nation which was attempting to tip over her ••apple-cart." The Roman Empire started with good leaders and the best intentions, : but it was continually at war. These wars were not to seek more power, i but to prevent other nations from j seizing the power which Rome then held. Every high school Student who has studied ‘'Caesar" knows the ] story. Finally, Rome was econom- j ically exhausted with these contin-1 ‘ual conflicts, and the Roman Em- 1 pire collapsed. Later, the Spanisn! Empire took the leadership and went j through the same experience. Then j the French took the ball. Remember The British Following Rome, Spain and France, England became the world’s great est power. She held this leadership : until the first World War. Her bat- 1 Dr. W. W. Adams VETERINARIAN CTi Musgrbve StrfcSF-- Clinton, S. C. Phones: f Office 958 Residence 991-W li tie cruisers were-in every large port and she policed the world, and was i usually fighting somewhere. £he j just had to do this to hold her posi- ! lion. England also was rich and did the world's banking, insurance and shipping. The English Pound Sterl ing was then the. world’s universal currency, as is .our Dollar today, i Germany, however, then looked with I envious eyes upon England, as Rus- ; sia is now jealous of us. In her en- | deavor to continue as ‘‘top dog,” En- I gland went to War against Germany in 1914 and again in 1940. These last two wars bled England so that she is now a second-rate power. There is now little hope of her get ting strong again. What About The U. S. A.? The United States is now the rich est and most powerful nation of the world. We have taken the world leadership, from England. But with this leadership come responsibilities. We must police . the world. We are like a boy who is the gang leader. In order to so remain, he starts no fights; but if some other boy starts a fight with him or with any member of his gang, he must fight that up start. Otherwise, he is no longer a leader. His ihlluence is gone. This is the situation which the United States has gotten into. We should blame no one. It just happened. Unfortunately, we are like the man who had the ‘‘bull by the tail.” He was asking himself: ‘‘Shall I let go or hang .on?’’ If we are to defend our position of leadership we must con tinue to fight in Korea and wherever we are challenged. This means we must “hang onto the bull’s tail”; but this is and will continue to be. an unhappy position. On the other hand, if we swallow our pride and with draw from Kbrea we become a sec ond-class nation. We Can Expect No Peace I have a strong feeling that the Chinese wall get tired of the fight ing. Then Eisenhower will work out some kind of a temp>orary peace with Russia which will ‘‘save face" all around. But it will be only tempor ary. Russia does not want World War III so long as Stalin lives; but she is determined to worry us and bleed us economically so long as she can do so. Mothers, sisters and sweethearts are very anxious to end the Korean War. I think this will be done with Iwiof. Bu4-T - Rttthfer forecast that, within a year after the Korean peace, trouble will break out elsewhere. We all must expect our sons to "Wlent to fight somewhere at some time. The sooner we get used to both wor ries and, taxes, the better for all con cerned. Exterior view of the Hart Clinic. Note large window in reception room, allowing sunny and cheerful atmosphere.
