STARRY EYED DREAMERS Various social reiorm movements have gained such prominence in this country in the last ten years that the sponsors of some of them will doubtless soon feel sufficient confidence in their position to step right up and “tell the world” what they really are—Socialists. , . Unlike the rose,- these reform movements don’t all “smell as sweet.” In fact, • some of them stink. Many of the great social improvements of the last decade have been of untold value to the American people. Even/the most ardent conservative would not wish them repealed. But’as these constructive changes gain mo mentum the Socialist begins to be lieve that his type of 1 “reform” is the next thing oh the calendar and he hypnotizes himself with the fantasy that the sort : of govern ment which he wishes to impress upon this free people, is about to become a fact. If ever he feels positive of it he will announce his true color. Now Socialism may be just the thing for the Germans—although the National Socialist movement in their, country probably doesn’t seem to them as “glorious” as it appeared a few months ago when Adolf was walking away with all the victories—but it won’t work in this country.. The American wants freedom of action; he wants to be able to cuss the government; he wants a chance to make a million dollars; he wants to think his son can become President; he wants to run his farm and his business his own way and :.iot have to go to a concentration camp because some starry eyed dreamer thinks he can run his life { for him. (And strange as it may seem to these hopeful dreamers, who visualize themselves as mana gers of our destiny; and to those who have lost hope of returning to the sane -..id rational American ism of peace-times: when the war is cv'>r 'vc are going back to those very sau.e days when we were our own masters and had only to obe T th§ laws which we in our owi judgment imposed upon our own selves.) The government which the peo pie now maintain in power, may be * called a Reform government. The reforms of these last ten year, are of their doing, and the ma jority of these .social changes are of great constructive value. It true that a few questionable re forms have slipped through, and L is probably these slips which dav given impetus to the dreams power which are puffing up th.. “Liberals” today. The men who at present heat our government are Reformers. oi a patriotic mold. They are no Socialists; and those who believ they, sense this ideology lurkuv under the governmental skin, arc those who will never be capable of understanding the American mentality. But if the present gov ernment was 100 per cent Socialist —the result would be the same. The American people know nothing but freedom. They wil lingly submerge their rights in moments of stress—such as war time—but when the turmoil has passed, 130 million Americans are going back to the peacetime democracy which George .Wash ington founded; which Franklin Roosevelt would defend with his life; and which nothing on thi; earth could successfully under mine except an army of ten mil lion of Germany’s best shock troops stationed permanently in our midst. So we may be of good cheer, be cause we don’t expect to play host to ten million Germans nor to take too seriously those moon struck exponents of strange for eign isms, who won't realize that the American can cannot be en slaved under any name.

Auditor’s Notice 1943 A CHRISTMAS TRADITION With Christmas only 8 days a- way, we want to call your atten tion to one of our most valuable, far-reaching American Christmas traditions—the Christmas Seal which supports the fight against tuberculosis. This year marks the 36th year that the appearance of the small tuberculosis Seal on the flood of our Christmas mail has proved that we Americans are sincerely trying to protect our own against an insidious infecting disease. Americans have full confidence in the Seal—a confidence deeply rooted in the victories which have been won over tuberculosis. This year marks a crisis in the anti-tuberculosis campaign.
