DEMOCRACY By G. Leland Summer Free institutions, freedom in elec tions, a free press, freedom of re ligion, and other measures of a pure democracy are necessary to the progress of a nation. Every man has a chance—an equal chance—to develop individuality, with no re- stiictions on personal initiative in the things that are good for the country; hence, in a country of dem ocracy science is more developed, inventions are created, industry pro gresses, agriculture is more scien tific, and labor reaps the rewards of economic and industrial growth. A psychological effect is optimism, good will and a God-given spirit of graciousness among the greater por tion of its population; which creates energy, faith, contentment and the will to perform. No other nation except one of dem ocracy can show the results of in dividuality of purpose, progress, .ed ucational development, and commer cial and agricultural growths. In that nation every man has a chance to show what he can do, and ‘it has ayways been the attitude of the pub lic to encourage new enterprise, new legally conceived ventures, all of which are induced by the incen tive given by a government to it’s free peoples. Many things come up from time to time that seem to hamper dem ocratic methods. Among them are strikes, (the right to strike being democratic but often used injudic iously), concentration of wealth, too congested areas of industries, with lack of more scattered industrial communities, and the lack of varied export facilities, Government agen cies have become more or less over lapping in character, mechunically operated without complete practical methods. These are all being dis placed, gradually, and improvements coming about as Washington studies and analyses them; so that the fu ture holds a greater democracy for our government. Apparently, congress will make changes from time to time to im prove such conditions. Some of the more necessary changes being con sidered are not the need for in creased benefits under the Unem ployment law—a probable cause of labor demoralization or an influence towards delinquency—'but a closer scrutiny of income tax laws and old age insurance benefits.

Income taxes, now under consideration for a change, could eliminate more of the excess profits taxes for corpor ations, reduce surtax rates for smaller businesses, so that larger inducements may be offered for the organization of new enterprises, giv ing jobs to more people. It would be well if other nations could accept democracy along the same pattern as that of the United States. There is no better time than the present for the government to help as much as it can to bring about these conditions, since for eign trade will soon be opened to them, and the unpleasant high tar iffs disappear. General applicabil ity is feasible as democracy is a principple with enough flexibility to meet current and recurrent changed conditions, as any economic status demands.

MAYBANK IS FOR GREATER BOMBS Washington, Oct. 8.—Senator Bur net R. Maybank of South Carolina declared today that he will support a bill sponsored by Senator Lister Hill, of Alabama, providing for the atomic bomb to be tried out on an obsolete battleship to determine the results of the explosion on the ship. Senator Maybank, who last week visited the plant at Clinton, Tenn., with Secretary of War Patterson,’ said he thought we should make “bigger a nd better and more” atom ic bombs. HHe added that we should use all the research at our com mand to improve the bomb, but warned that at the same time that we should continue, just as ardently our research for defenses against the atomic bomb. The South Carolinian said he favored appropriations, large if they are needed, to make possible research in both fields. He said he thought we should try to keep the invention of the bomb a secret but recognized the dangers because so many other countries are at work trying to develop it. Since the next wan is bound to be a scientific one, Senator Maybank believes that we should know all the facts an ddetails on the bomb a n d what it will do. “I believe we should improve ,the atomic bomb and make it better, but at the same time we should not SEWING CHAMP IN SACK CLCTH When MU* Mabel Huett, 16-year-old 4-H CJub girl of England.
