The Bill of Riqhts

A fair expression of the totalitarian
concept of the relation of the citizen
to the state may be found in the
Nazi doctrine which argues that "the
needs of the commonwealth take
precedence of those of the indi-
vidual." Dr. Franz Gurtner Reich
minister of justice, discussing judicial
procedure in Germany, has said:
THE protection enjoyed by indi-
viduals is not based on the assump-
tion that their particular rights are
sacrosanct and inviolable, but rather
on the fact that all of them are re-
garded as valuable members of the
national community and therefore
deserve protection"
Such philosophy, however plaus-
ible 1t may seem at first glance,
would be tolerable only to abject
slaves. 1t is based on a dogma of
paternalisla which might be applied
with better logic to helpless domestic
animals. Among men possessed OF
consciousness Of the elemental in
tegrity OF the human soul the theory
Of serfdom revealed by DR.. Gurtner's
words must be altogether abhorrent.
Its implications Of spiritual bondage
are rejected by the heirs Of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln.
How fortunate it is that the 150th
en1juQrcoru nf tho oINntioy, af tho
Bill of Rights should occur at time
when the whole tremendous impact
Of contemporary events serves to
give significance to the occasion!
The sesquicentenary Of the first ten
Amendments Of the Constitution
might have come on a date lacking
in any but purely academic i'm
portance. Instead, December Is this
year is day for a grateful demon
stration OF the essential character of
American democracy The Axis die
tators by their crimes against hu-
manity have educated the people Of
the United States to nobler appre-
citation Of their sacred charter Of
freedom.
Americans have learned, for ex-
ample, that the rights which they
demanded for themselves in 1871
were rights which their ancestors
had found necessary to honorable
living in a realistic world. 1t was
experience that prompted insistence
upon recognition of freedom of re-
ligion, speech and press, assembly
and petition. Four autocrats of the
House of Stuart had instructed them
in the need to require security of the
home and of property, the rights of
due process Of law, speedy and
public" trial by jury and exemption
from "cruel and unusual punish
ments." The sunterings of millions Of
mon -conformists" under a dynasty
Of bigoted tyrants imperatively sug-
gested the stipulations respecting
rights and powers not delegated to
the Federal Government.
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull,
speaking from the knowledge which
he has of conditions abroad, has
asked his countrymen to remember
that the principles OF the ten primary
Amendments are treason" in vast
areas Of the earth. Death is the
penalty for advocating them in the
lands momentarily dominated by
Hitler and his partners in aggression.
Only in neighborhoods still free are
they "our salvation, heritage
of our own, to be cherished and
preserved In their entirety and to be
handed down by us to our posterity,
unabridged and unimpaired."
Upon the responsibility thus put
into language America does battle
for the Lord.

cupidity Of selfish interests that for
profit insisted on supplying murderous
nations with the tools for carrying on
their nefarious activities?
In the last analysis all Of us. share
in the responsibility for what has hap
pened because we closed our eyes to the
crimes that were being committed
against our neighbors, crimes made pos
sible in large part by the materials with
which we provided the criminals.

Representative jeanette Rankin,
in casting her solitary negative vote
against war, declared, "The situation
looks the same to me that 1t did in
1917" Some of her constituents
ought to give her the name and ad-
dress of good oculist.
Evening star., 1941-12-15

These declarations OF war, real and
technical, remind US of the recent
gridiron season. The Allies seem to
have the larger squad numerically,
but sometimes it seems as though
the Axis people have the heavier
players.

Discusses Confusion
In Civilian Defense Arrangements.


To the Editor OF The Star:
We face strenuous, even dangerous,
days ahead Because of the danger from
air raids, think We should consider the
problem effectively and practically.
For instance, the papers during the
past few days have carried air raid sig
mails, and each paper has published
different set of signals for the "alert"
and "all clear" Why not follow the
code set forth in the official Handbook
for Air Raid Wardens," published by the
ONCE of Civilian Defense? On pages
u, 13 it says: They (the sirens) sound
with rising and falling pitch or a series
of short blasts continuing for two min
utes. When the planes have passed or
been driven off, single long blast is
sounded"
One other thing might prevent the
wolf! wolff" attitude being adopted by
our citizens: Stop the use of sirens on
fire and police vehicles "for the dura-
ton" and use said sirens only for air
raid alarms. Police, fire and emergency
vehicles could use the penetrating ex-
haust whistles that some of them now
use and possible confusion thus would
be averted. w. w. BAILEY.

BORGER, Tex, Sept. i3.out
here at the top of Texas, sinking
puts has become almost as inn
portant as sinking oil wells.
In this Panhandle area of Bor-
ger and adjacent Phillips, they
claim to have more golfers per
capita than any other similar
section Of the United States. And
it all came about largely through
"a cooperative arrangement
whereby a fellow doesn't have
to have money to play.
Population of the two towns
totals 10000 and more than ! 900
shoot the little white pellet
round the oil rigs that dot the
two courses. AT Phillips, which
has only 5000 inabitants, one
third of the population plays.

IF an accurate check were
available, / would be willing to
wager that at least one in every
ten local persons plays golfs'
says Gene Root, pro Of the HUI

interest, the Canadian Hills club
