When Liberty Makes Us Free
(by DR.. Charles Stelzle)

Brethren, We have been called unto
liberty only use not liberty for an occa-
sion to the flesh but by love serve one
another. For all the law is fulfilled in
one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.
You can trust any man with all the
liberty in the world If he'll base his ac-
tions on love toward his neighbor.
You may give him the key to your
city and to your home-hell honor the
confidence you have placed in him, and
he himself will become better man be-
cause you trust him
Democracy is the keyword that
men are conjuring with But to many
Of them it simply means more and
more for themselves. But true de-
mocracy actually means a restriction Of
liberty for as democracy increases the
greater the number Of people there are
whose interests must be considered and
conserved
But when the people themselves rule
and when everyone Of us thinks that
we'res Just as good as anyone else if not
littlREAit better-then the question OF
personal liberty becomes very compli-
Gated
How shall we meet the evils which
must inevitably grow cut Of the demo-
cratic form of government?
Someone think it was Thomas Car
iyle--once said that the cure for democ
racy' is more democracy 1t certainly
isn't less democracy
But to make democracy safe, it's
going to require something more than
mere democracy--it means that we've
got to introduce more Of the elements Of
love, and the Apostle Paul put il into
zone word" when he wrote the Galati-
ans: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself'
The world S wisdom will never evolve
simpler and more easily workable plan
than this.

When Secretary Of State John
E. Sweeney suggested some
weeks ago that 1941 primary
election expenses could be mate
rally reduced in many Ohio mu-
inequalities, incorporated villages,
townships and school districts, he
started something which already
assures some amazing results.
Secretary Sweeney suggested
that, should the list Of candidates
for Office in the various sub-divis-
ions be confined to one candidate
for each office to be filled at the
general election this Fall, thus
permitting the political parties to
nominate their candidates by pet.
ton, there would be no necessity
for opening the election bootrs
for nominations by ballot and
The primary could be dispensed
with. Quick to grasp the oppol-
tunity to save some Of their own
money, numerous community
meetings have been held in vari-
GUS sections of the state and or
ganized efforts made to hold the
list of candidates to one for each
Office, as suggested by Secretary
Sweeney.
There are approximately $50
municipalities and Incorporated
villages and 1,40O townships n

zens Will be called upon to pay
from two to five times as much
in taxes as in former years. The
Administration will attempt to
bring the tax bill up for consid-
GRAFTON in the House under a
gag, rule that will prevent any
amendment being offered from
the Floor, except BY the Ways
and Means Committee itself. If
adopted, such a rule will mean
that Members Of Congress will
not be given an opportunity to
vote On separate provisions Of
the bill, but only for or .again-

Just before taking up the new
tax bill, the House passed q sup
Elemental national defense ap-
preparation bill calling for the
gigantic expenditure Of eight
billion and sixty million dollars,
as requested by President Roose-
welt two weeks ago. This amount
brings the total authorized ex-
penditures for such purposes up
to the fifty-two billion dollar
mark. AS the latest defense APP
preparation measure was being
considered, much grumbling
could be heard among the House
Members over the situation. Mem
bers Of Congress are beginning
to wonder as to the physical pos
sibility Of spending such huge
amount for defense purposes
within the near future. Such
large appropriations for defense
mean nothing unless actually
translated into fighting equip
ment-and thus far only a small
portion of the money appropriat-
ed has been actually converted
into guns, planes, tanks, and
other war materials.
All of which reminds us that
the three and a half billion dol
lar annual tax increase paid by
the American people, under the
new tax law, is only enough to
pay but one half Of the seven bill
lion dollars given to the Presi-
dent under the Lease-Lend law
to be expended in aiding other
countries, principally Great Brit
ian. Glowing and wholesale
promises have been made, to
Great Britain and other coun-
tries fighting the Axis Powers,
as to the help that would be CIV

ever, it was just disclosed this

when Germany has counted on
Japan to distract American atten-
ton from Europe and aid to Eng
land, to the Pacific.
1t is understood here that the
government of Great Britain has
strongly urged both Japan and the
United States to seek a method OF
reconciling their differences and
that Great Britain's influence was
at work in the Japanese Ambassa-
doris call at the White House. The
first broad hint that something new
between Washington and TOXIC
might be aborning came last Sunday
from Prime Minister Winston
Churchill in his broadcast.
Several Bases for Deal.
The two countries have several
bases on which a deal might be
made, aside from the Chinese ques-
ton. In order once more to get sup
plies from the United States, Japan
might be willing to cease putting
pressure on Thailand and Indo-
China.
Whatever comes out of the talk,
the very fact that in the midst of a
tense situation the two governments
are willing to rise above emotion
and make an effort to find some
basis. for peace indicates diploma
tic failure on the part of Germany,
which would be helped by a deteri-
Grafton of Japanese American rela-
tions to the point of war
Cautious observers, however, sug-
geSted that Japan, with German ap-
proval, might be seeking a breathing
spell, after recent developments had
created potential American-Eng-
lish-Dutch coalition against Japan
in the Indo-China area and an
Americana Russian English coalition
against them in the North China
area.

Evening star., 1941-08-29

sequently that they had had a gen.
eral exchange of views which, 1t is
understood, covered the funda-
mentals in characterization re-
lations as well as touched on the
specific problems currently agitat-
ing TOXIC and Washington.
Admiral Nomura said that he did
not believe the note from his Prime
Minister dealt with the issue of
shipment of American goods to
Vladivostok.
He indicated the previous day,
after a visit with Mr. Hull at the
State Department. that the Japa-
nese irritation about the shipments
to Russia arose from the fact that
Japan cannot buy the goods from us
which Russia is getting, especially
aviation gasoline. American export
control has kept certain materials
from Japan recently.
Mr.. Hull called the White House
conference very interesting.
