She Can Teach

mental officials who are charged
with supervision Of businessmen
and companies could learn from
the housewife how to regulate the
seller. The housewife. recognizing
that she is the ultimate boss al
the market place, regulates BUSH
nessmen through the undramatlc
act of placing or Withholding or
derS for their products.
Thus. she votes for the products
which come up TO her standards
Of quality, price, and general APP
peal. and she votes against the
chiselerS who fail TO live up 10
their representations.

A Note Of Caution

SSOCIATE JUSTICE WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS Of
n the United States Supreme Court in his recent San
Francisco address sounded timely note OF caution to
the postwar planners who aspire to make the United
States the policeman Of the world
While this is a country Of men and women who vii
accept the challenge of what lies ahead said Justice
Douglas
we should not forget that every other nation knows
more about it, troubles and problems than we do or
ssNIo MATTER how high our ideals or motives we
y hardl, qualify as managers Of the affairs OF
other nations.
What MAY be good for them max he anathema To
us vice
THE history. the traditions of people vary through
the world Each must work out its own destiny We
would let Others have the free choice which we
reserve for ourselves
Even if we wanted To, could not assume sole
responsibility for solving international troubles.
Moreover, must not diSparage and underestimate
other peoples ability TO help themselves
THIS sound philosophy Will increase the popularity
/ of Justice Douglas with the fanaucaly information
aist fringe of the New Deal which contempaes post
war world channeled by compulson into one kind of
government type of thinking and one way of life
1t will however. improve the prestige Of Justice
Douglas with the majority of the American people who
agree with him that:
I'VE cannot FORCE other countries to act as we
wish to emulate way of life"
Naturally as Americans. think democratic
way of life is very good way
And we feel that other nations might very well bene-
fit themselves by emulating it.
But unless leave other nations the same freedom
Of choice for ourselves as Justice Douglas
says will advance the of democracy in the
world at large and will not lend strength to it IN our own

IF standard of life and respect for the indi
vdual and his freedom still vital and inspiring they
will inevitably awaken similar desires in other lands.
But other peoples must feel that attitude toward
them is friendly. We must show them that
than great tutor that can learn well as teach.
Justice Douglas thus demonstrates profound knowl-
edge and understanding of the origin and significance Of
the American way of life.
IT is the same conception of AMERtCAN1SM the found
ing fathers of America had.
1t is the instructive philosophy Of the greater part
of the American people themselves.
1t is not, however, the conception or the philosophy
of impractical and deluded who want the world ruled
by force and who America to apply that force with
whatever ruthessness and arrogance may be required
Liberties cannot be FORCED upon people,
cudes Justice Douglas. But can knde the imagina
tOn Of the citizens of other continents with the idea that
they would do well TO achieve such liberties for them
selves"
This is approach to postwar planning which
utizes the experience of the American people, and
appeals to the and good judgment of the
American people 1t should be the guide Of the
American government through the difficult days to

A. Van Duzer in his budget esti-

and the current year, small re-

This would account for $4,000
of an increase of 1920 proposed
for 1945 over the current year. A
good part of the increase would
be due to legislated overtime and
extra pay. The department seeks
10 new positions, to include four
additional engineering workers,
seven more motor vehicle inspectors
four more clerks and three graphic
type operators.
For traffic lights the department
seeks $27 500 as against $40 900 and
for maintenance of traffic lights
