Native American liberalism
has ever fought the dictation
Of corporate wealth, it was
pointed out by Senator O'Ma:
honey, who justly attributed
the landslides of the Demo-
cratic party under Roosevelt to
the revolt against Big Business.
AS one of the leaders OF that
revolt, O'Mahoney declared
that the substitution Of Big
Government for Big Business
has never been the aim OF
American liberalism.
Such an objective would
make the cure worse than the
malady.
Admitting" that the SUI
preme Court has usurped leg
islative functions, he pro
claimed the true creed Of lib
eralism in this stirring chal'
lenge: ,..u :.
not for the Executive to
usurp the judicial powers
vested in the courts"
All true liberals. progress
sives, champions Of social jus
tice, have for decades observed
the evils Of Big Business.
But these evils now appear
%r;vioI as comnared with the
evils Of Big Government as
demonstrated in Europe.
Senator Bailey, Of North
Carolina, brought home to us
once more the blight Of the
systems where justice has been
usurped by Big Government.
where purges have taken the
place Of courts Of law.
In describing the plight OF
religious minorities in the coun-
tries where independent courts
have been abolished. he said
with special reference to the
persecution Of the Jews:
"They all feel safe in the
United States because there Is
a Supreme Court and because
there Is Q Constitution.
'.DO you know what the leader
Of Italy says? He says man Is
nothing, the state Is everything.
do you know what America
says? America says the people
are everything, and the Govern
ment is their servant"

voiced the creed Of genuine
American liberalism in words Of
grander simplicity.
They are the words Of Senator
Bailey, but their spirit is the
spirit Of America.
It is the spirit of the anti-FaS.
cist who is also an anti-Com.
munist, and at all times an anti.
totalitarian.
"Once this purpose of con-
trolling the Court in order to
cOnstrue the Constitution or az.
grandize power has been accom-.
pliShed," warned Senator Bailey
in words which should be in
Scribed on the walls Of every
American home, "the roads to
utter Capitalization and absO.
lutiSm would be clear.
"The state would be above the
man. The tOtaIitarian state
would inevitably be the order in
America. Congress could re-
solve that the general welfare
meant that your rights and your
interests should be destroyed for
the sake Of the whole. That Is
the tOtalitarian state"
The great debate on the
Supreme Court may prove as de.
cisive to civilization as the con-
Stitutional debate of 1887
proved to the world then.
Already this debate has Vim.
Dictated the cornerstone ideals
Of the American system.
Could John Adams and Ben
jamin Franklin, If they were
alive today, have put the mod.
ern issue more clearly than Sem
ator Bailey?
Could James Madison and
Thomas jefferson, of the from
tier State of Virginia, have been
more penetrating and more
challenging in defining the con-
temporary issue than Joseph
O'Mahoney, Pat McCarran and
Burton Wheeler, spokesman u
the frontier Of freedom in the
Rocky Mountains?
America was dedicated to the
proposition that Big Govern.
ment is the source of all social
distress.
1t is a proposition which time
has indicated, and to which the
entire world must sooner or Later
dedicate itself to insure true

world, as the quickened pace Of

There are about 100000, 900
Moslems in the world. The Bri.

There are many who believe
that the British Empire is the
MENUS of world stability, and the
most critical engagement be-
tween the powers is the diplo-
macy and propaganda drive for
alliance with the Moslem peo-
pies.
Already, in the news back
wash of England's swift and
drastic action in deciding to
divide Palestine, it has been
made clear that this action was
induced rather by reasons Of
empire than by the immediate
exigency of Jewish and Arab
contention there. Italy and
Germany, particularly Italy,
have been laying down a terri

Arabia for the last two or three
years.
Italian statesmen have pro-

THE establishment of airport at Camp Springs
Nd cannot be accepted solution of the District
of Columbia's air terminal problem.
Construction of an airport at that site may be desir
able and possibly would be advantageous but certainly
it would not give the National Capital the convenient
and safe air terminal that is essential
An airport adequately to the needs Of the Fed
era CITY must not only be safe but it must be convenient
Unquestionaby safe airport could be built at the
Camp Springs just as it could be built at anyone of
hundred other locations in Maryland and Virginia.
WHERE THE CAMP SPRINGS SITE FAILS UT
TERLY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUN-
ITY IS ON THE GROUND OF CONVENIENCE.
The District Airport Commission which selected the
Camp Springs site apparently gave thought only to
safety and dsregarded completely the element of
venence.
It proposes to build an airport out in Maryland which
would add about thirty minutes to the length of the most
popular air journey from Washington that to New York
City.
planes to and from New York were forced to use the
proposed Camp Springs terminal it would be found that
while passengers only flying about eighty minutes
between the two cities they spending about seventy
minutes in automobiles at both ends of the journey get
ting from airports to the cities.
That of course absurd situation and seems to be
enough to discredt the findings of the Airport Com
mission.
The prime reason for the development of air travel
is speed.
To tack "horse and buggy journey on the end of
each flight is to rob the aviation industry of its primary
appeal for passengers.
The best asset of the Washington Hoover Airport
and probably the only that has kept it in business
despite complaints its lack of safety has been the
fact that it is right at the door of Washington if not in
side the door.
minute two in an automobile takes passengers
from the airport to the center of the business and gov
ernmental section.
It is this convenience that has enabled the airnes to
build up tremendous business in and out of Wash
ington.
Unnecessary to destroy this asset in order to build
new terminal
SITES HAVE BEEN ADVANCED WHICH CON-
BINE BOTH THE ELEMENT OF SAFETY AND THE
ELEMENT OF CONVENIENCE, AS FOR IN
STANCE DOES GRAVELLY POINT.
About the only wise thing that the Airport Commits
sion has done is to propose that the projected Camp
Springs airport should be built entirely from Federal
funds.
Surely the District should not be asked to paw for it.
Tor 1t is likely that the airport will do nothing but de-
stroy the Districts air travel
