Can't Change Europe

MO DREAMER ever dreamed
AN q wilder dream than that
the United States can make over
Europe-adjust her boundaries,
allay her racial bitterness, put
an end to her disputes and con-
troversieS, or satisfy the ambi-
tions Of her leaders. This ought
to be reasonably clear after our
experiences in recent years.
When we deal with Europe,
we must deal with Europe as she
is-with her suspicious, her
fears, her hatreds and, most of
all, her conception of govern
ment. It is not within our
power to change Europe in any
essential particular or modify
her theories Of civilization. We
have neither the man power nor
the wealth to change her poll
cieS or her practices. But we
can easily change our own by
undertaking to do so.
We could again make the ef-
fort; we could pour in our
youth and our peoples last saw
ingS; we could endanger our own
system Of government, impov-
erish still more our own people,
but Europe would be the same.
The Washington times., 1938-07-13

port Of these views is that we,
as a nation, must take upon our
selves, in addition to our al
ready stupendouS burden. the
great burden of strengthening
out the affairs Of Europe and
that not to do so may bring on
the breakdown Of civilization.
We undoubtedly owe debt 70
humanity and have an obliga-
ton to civilization. I think it
safe to say we have no intention
Of diSowning the former or Of
diSregarding the latter.
Our first and highest duty to
humanity is to make democracy
a success, to demonstrate that
free institutions may be main
tanned and made of service to
mankind. To preserve liberty,
religious freedom, order and
lava task which, under pres
ent circumstances, calls for the
best in thought and purpose
and in patriotism that a great
people can offer-it calls for sim
gleneSS of purpose and united
effort Of the whole people.
If we fail in this respect, our
highest service to humanity Is
at an end, and our own people
will have been betrayed.

NeuU Theories of Taxation
EOR example, take the subject Of taxation.
= The spirit of our past development, from
the Boston Tea Party to the New Deal, has been
to use taxes as means of raising revenue for
the necessary functions of government Our
The Washington times., 1938-07-13

idea was not to punish to destroy wealth, or to
make this or that kind Of business Improbable,
but to keep taxes as low as possible, so as not
to burden any honest and efficient individual
endeavor.
Now, however the idea of taxation which
prevails is to use it as a means Of enforcing
radical schemes to revolutionize the nation. The
idea is to use taxes to share the wealth, taking
away the savings and earnings of some to give
them to others. The idea is to use the proceeds
to build up powerful central bureaucracy at
Washington, which will control or compete with
business to an increasing extent.
The Washington times., 1938-07-13

thinks such use may be politically advantageous.
Public Address System

switch which controls the public address sys

to Washington for use especially on this political
stump tour. The gadget is designed to make
Franklin D. Roosevelt'S remarks audible to the
crowds ONLY when he wants the crowds to hear
his remarks.
The reason for this little piece of trickery to
hoodwink the voters is this

Different Theory

IF WE ARE dealing with peoples
L who believe in our theory Of
government, who acknowledge
our principles, that would be
one thing. But Europe wants
nothing to do with our theory
of government. She does not be-
lieve in liberty. does not believe
that freedom is a practical thing
for any people.
You cannot establish personal
liberty in Europe: you cannot es-
tabliSh freedom Of religion, free
speech, or a free press. But we
can lose all of these in this
country, and nothing would con-
tribute to this end more readily
than becoming involved in Eu.
ropean controversies and wars.
We might trade and dicker
with leaders and help to dis
tribute territory, but we never
could reach the masses. This ap-
plies to 80 per cent Of Europe.
And thus it would be, after all
that we might be able to do.

we quit the discriminatory and burdensome taxes

that much. And now of all times, to think
would give such show really burns me up."
Newport is delightful place. love the people
and they are simple and unaffected Nowhere in
the country do you find such real kindness and
thoughtfumess. With the letters I receive every
day calling for help, if I could lay my hands on
hundred thousand dollars, instead of giving a
party with it, would start out and try to help
few of these poor souls who need it so badly.
Stays Here This Season
I HAD hoped sincerely up to now that I could go
to Newport this summer, but that dream has
faded. Through business necessity and other
reasons, am going to spend the summer right
here in Washington.
As for my daughter, she doesn't want to and
won't become glamour girl. True, she is young
and may change her mind, but at the present
time, she declares she will not have coming out
party. The thing above everything else she wants
to do is to have some kind of work or occupation.
OF course, this tickes me to death because think
any man, woman or child who hasn't something
serious to do and who doesn't work hard at what
ever is undertaken, is the most unhappy per-
son in the world. No matter what my daughter
wants to become. from a newspaper writer to a
moving picture actress. it is all right with me.

she undertakes, she must put her whole heart and

happy restless creatures, striving for excitement
never being quite sure what they want from one
day to the next. If thought my child wanted
to be like one Of those girls, really believe I
would clap her into convent, and let her re-
main there until she was Of age and had better
sense. So far, she is simple and unaffected and,
believe me, she is going to stay that way If it is
humanity possible to make her do so.
The young people of today are in a whirling
world, not knowing what is going to happen the
next second. They haven't the care and protec-
ton we had in our youth. They have something,
though, that if they use wisely and well, will be
precious gift the new civilization has handed
them: that is, freedom of thought and action. If
these young people would only think and act for
themselves! But what do they do as rule? They
see picture in the paper of one glamour girl and
the rest all go downtown and have their hair cut
exactly like hers, start reducing If they are little
overweight and, before you know it, when you
walk into q theater or a restaurant in New York,
most Of the girls look exactly like understudies
for each other. Children should realize that be-
ing different is the great thing in this world Any
one can be copy-cat, but it takes a great imagi-
nation and a grim determination to think things
out for ones self regardless Of the other fellow

HANCOCK FORMALLY OFFERS

Congressman Frank Hancock has formally pre-

in clearcut statement of his reasons for entering
the race against Senator Robert R. Reynolds
Apparently, the clowning proclivities of the Ashe
vile man are in a measure responsible for the de-
cision of Representative Hancock who regards the
high office serious business, entitled to the best
service which man can give The flippancy with
which sour Bob has discharged his duties as sen.
ator has proved quite CALLING to those who take a
conscientious attitude and have some regard for
dignity. As he put it. "a blance into either. the
past or the future offers convincing proof that the
people of North Carolina deserve and expect OF
their representatives forthrightness and sober
dependability." ...... ..
The Record believes that Congressman hancock
has done well to 'come clean" with the proposltoh
that the reason he is giving up his seat IN Ihe
house, which nobody denies he could have haa

HAS GEORGE SOMETHING
TuEpE2

Perhaps Henry George had the
right idea when he advocated a
tax on nothing but land where it
could be seen plainly and collect
ed cheaply. George contended
that thus the total tax bill would
be no greater, for though the tax
on real estate would be increased,
all other taxes would be abolish
ed. In fact, George argued that
to bring the entire tax bill into
the open where it could be seen
and comprehended would probab-
ly reduce taxes. 1t would put an
end to the politicians practice of
secretly sucking taxes out of the
body polite. Our heaviest taxes
today are the concealed taxes on
things we buy which hit poor and
rich alike. A third Of what we pay
for some standard articles is for
those concealed taxes. Most per-
sons do not realize that. Every
new source Of taxation discovered
or invented by our politicians
adds just that much more to our
tax burden, for nothing is taken
off anywhere else.
