ELEMENTARY RIGHTS
NEED EMPHASIS
(By Eugene Lyons, in The New
Leader, New York;

The healthiest instinct in the Amer
ican people is its suspicion of those
in the seats of power, it's natural dis
trust Of government-any kind of
government, no matter how stirring
its slogans.
The great American public did not
begin to understand the purposes of
the Presidents Reorganization Bill,
nor of his Supreme Court proposals.
Reactionary propaganda was effective
in distorting those issues.
All the same, the instinct which led
the people to revolt against those
measures was wholesome. Even if
mistaken in particular instances, the
traditional prejudice against concen-
trated power represents first line
of defense of ordinary human rights
Today there is real danger that
the attitude towards government may
be changing. The fact that so many
AIleliCduS are uepeiluSHI VII Vic CIV
ernment for their subsistence makes
them less critical, more plant. The
fact that the totalitarian beast is on
the rampage, abroad and at home, in
clines them to yield more credence tc
politicians wearing glamorous Official
titles.
There is need, therefore, for empha-
sis on simple democratic rights, such
as the right to call the highest of the
high names, and to question then
motives.
In the game that is being played OF
the international stage, and on the
domestic economic stage as well, the
lives and the human dignity of all OF
US are the stakes.

oline were from to Az cents gal
lon. They have been raised, not low
cred, since. A few companies pro-
