Take labor. A vital question. But
has labor ever voted solidly for one
ticket or the other? No. The AFY
will cast its traditional Republican
votes in the coming election as it al
ways has. Some of the CLIO mem
bers will vote to support the admin
istration. Others will vote as they
darn please.
Slavery-really labor question.
That did nearly wreck the republic
because it was made a partisan
issue when it was not an issue at
all! Many of the influential southern
ers were just as ready to free their
slaves as the rabid abolitionists,
heated with emotional fervor, failing
to grasp the economic significance,
were to force them to.
Again, unless cold, calm discus
sion and understanding of the ques-
tion of foreign policy takes place.
we may face another split which,
although it need not mean civil war,
may mean horrid dislocation of
our whole political system.
When we went into World War II
after Pearl Harbor, the word "iso-
lationism" was forgotten. Today it
has come back into our vocabula-
ries and is being batted about, like
other political footballs, by people
who really don't understand its inn
plications and are woefully ignorant
of what dissension it may cause.
Politicians want to overlook it.
They can't This group of Repub-
licans, headed by Deneen Watson,
and whole flying squadron of Dem
ocrats, too, are insistent that they
be allowed TO "let the people know. /"
They are going to speak their
pieces. And the only hope of lifting
this discussion out Of partisan poll
tics is a settlement out of court, !"
an agreement by both parties on a
single foreign policy.
Let's get back to that hot and per-
spring day in Washington late last
month when Deneen Watson and
his colleagues from this self-appoint-
ed Republican organization, the Re-
publican foreign policy associa-
tion," walked across quiet Lafayette
park opposite the White House and

Today America faces its firstareal
problem as world power.
Italy lies before us. General Els
enhower, as commander of the AL
lied forces of invasion. suddenly be-
comes a statesman. He is soldier.
He can win battles. Now, he is the
man ultimately responsible for di-
recting American world policy.
What is American world policy?
Eisenhower is firm in his deci-
sions, certain in his own procedure.
because he is responsible only to
his Commandments.
But who IS his Commander-in-
Chief? Roosevelt A man who may
suddenly leave the scene in the
midst of battle, if the American pub
lie so DEGREES.
And them Has. America any firm
foreign policy, unfettered by parti-
san political restriction, a clear
marked path that fighting man or
any other man can follow?
In few short weeks from now, a
group of busy, hard-pressed men are
going to sit down on Mackinac is
land and try to write what Ameri-
can foreign policy they think ought
to be sponsored by the Republican
party.
These men have to face the ques-
ton of committing the Republican
party to definite foreign policy
And paradoxically, by committing
their party to definite foreign poll
cy. they may free both political par
ties of all commitment on foreign
policy For if the Democrats frame
similar resolutions, they can save
America from a vicious split-one
which. if it is not avoided, will crash
party lines and can destroy the two
party system, the rock of our de-
mocracy
The issue which America faces is
simple. shall we. as nation, under
write a policy which will implement
our participation in world affairs or
shall we retire unto ourselves and
pursue the nationalistic policy which
says in effect: let the rest of the
world stew in its own juice?
Until we took the Philippines,
America was able to leave the great
and vital problems which should
have no political tinge. outside par
tisan politics. We have had other
problems which have remained es-
sentially non-partisan.

Ban on Pig Keeping
In Corporate Limits
Assessor Te1IscounciI
All Tax Bills Will Be
Sent Out by June

Because many requests have been
received from residents for permis-
sion to keep pigs on their properties,
the Alexandria City Council last
night re-enacted the ordinance pro-
hibiting the practice and incorpor-
ated it in the city code.
The ordinance, Identical with a
law that has been on the city books
for many years, makes the keeping
of swine in the corporate limits un-
lawful, and prescribes a fine of IS
to $40 for each day the ordinance is
violated.
In a. letter to the council, Tax AS
SCISSOR L. M. Ansley said appraisals
of all taxable property in the city
finally have been completed and are
now ready for entry in the tax books.
b A special board was appointed last
year, prior to the creation of the
office of tax assessor, to make up
the assessments by December, 1912.
The appraisals were not completed,
however, and the 1912 real estate
tax bills were delayed as a result.
Ansley estimated that the bills,
which were due tomorrow, will be
sent out by June He added that he
will then be able to set up a per-
manent system to make it possible
to issue tax bills at the prescribed
dates.
An invitation will be sent to the
Board of Education for a Joint meet
ing Tuesday for discussion of the
boards request for salary raises for
city teachers.
A communication from T. c. Will
liams, superintendent of schools,
advised the Council that the Board
of Education is requesting a salary
raise of approximately $3.50 for each
teacher, to become effective at the
start of the 1894 school term.
The request of Henry P. Thomas
for the rezoning of approximately
81 acres of land on King street road
and Scroggins lane for use as an
apartment site will be advertised
and set for public hearing May II.
The application of Mrs. Mary j.
Hullings to rezone 407-9 North Alfred
street to d. commercial zone was
denied.
The request of the operators of the
Military Store for permission to
erect a neon sign on their building
at the northeast corner Of King and
Washington streets was granted.
