A Little Spice

It is hard to respect a person who
is always suspecting others.
The .noisiest patriots are often
noiseless in their tax-dodging, etc.
The highest education consists of
common sense, knowledge and moral
character.
If your ears tend to run in high
gear, keep your tongue in low.
Falsehoods always need a larger
vocabulary than truth
The mind is as the freely: It
CLOVIS only when on the wing.
It seems that the two things hard
est to govern are love and war.

charge made in the press that exiled
governments did not want their peo-
piles fed. They.rightly ask the ques-
ton that will not down: Why can
Greeks be fed, and not Belgians and
others? There seems to be, in Wash
ington and London, some fresh reason
to hope that the rapidly deteriorating
situation, which is making vast
cemetery of occupied territory, may
produce more common sense and less
intransigence among the authorities
here and overseas. But the people
must wake up, too.

a series OF hVe on the tOur Free
domS, which have been released
by the Office of War Information:
That part of man which is called
the spirit and which belongs only
to himself and to his God, is of the
very first concern in designing free
world It was not their stomachs
but their immortal souls which
brought the first settlers to Amer
ica's shores, and they prayed before
they ate. Freedom of conscience, the
right to worship God, is part of our
soil and of the sky above this con-
tinent.
Freedom of worship implies that
the individual has source of moral
values which tranScerldS the immedi-
ate necessities of the community,
however important these may be. It
is one thing to pay taxes to the state
this men will do; it is another to
submit their consciences to the state
this they politely decline. The wise
community respects this mysterious
quality in the individual, and makes
its plans accordingly. :s:,
The democratic guarantee of free
dom of worship is not in the nature
of grant-it is in the nature of an
admission. It is the state admitting
that the spirit scars in illimitable
regions beyond the collectors of Gus
toms. 1t was Tom Paine, one of the
great voices of freedom in early
America, who pointed out that a gov
eminent could no more grant to man
the liberty to worship God than it
could grant to God the liberty of
receiving such worship.
The miracle which democracy has
achieved is that while practicing
many kinds of worship, we never
theless achieve social unity and peace.
And so we have the impressive spec
tacle, which is with us always here
in America, of men attending many
different churches, but the same town
meeting, the same political forum.
Opposed to this democratic concep-
ton of man and of the human spirit
is the totaGtarian conception. The
Axis powers pretend that they own
all of man including his conscience
1t was inevitable that the Nazis
should try to deny the Christian
church because in virtually every
respect its teachings are in opposi-
ton to the, Nazi ideal of race suprem-
acy and of the subordination of the
Individual Christianity could only
be an annoyance and threat to Hit
ler's bid for power and his contempt
for the common man.
Today the struggle of Mans spiri,
is against new and curious shackles
Today a new monstrosity has shown
itself on earth seven days wonder
a new child of tyranny political
religion in which the leader of the
state becomes, himself, an object OF
worship and reverence and in which
the individual becomes corpuscle
in the blood of the community, al
most without identity. This Nazi
freak must fail, if only because men
are not clods, because the spirit does
live. In the design for a new and
better world, religious freedom is a
fundamental prop.
We of the nations united in war
among whom all the great religions
are represented, see triumphan,
peace by which all races will con-
tinne the belief in man, the belief in
his elusive and untouchable spirit
and in the solid worth of human life

Such development would be OF
doubtful advantage to the Turks. But
it would be of vast importance to
us. It would throw wide open the
back door to the Balkans.
The Turks would probably take
terrific punishment. But they would
be able to hold the Axis back until
we got our own forces on the ground.
Then the great squeeze-play on Ger
many would begin. " $50 "

Fact And Opinion
Turkey to Enter the War?
By e. C. Stengelsen.

The recent meeting between VIM
ston Churchill and the Turkish presi-
dent and premier did not draw the
headlines that the gathering at Casa
blanca did; but if the optimistic
guesses of English and American
newspaper writers are anywhere near
right, it may turn out to have been
even more important.
They suggest the possibility of
several developments, all highly
favorable to the United Nations. One
is that Turkey may permit Allied
warships the use Of the Dardanelles
giving them entry to the Black sea
Another is that she may let British
American forces use Turkish terri
tory as springboard for rear-door
attack on the Axis. A third is that
she may permit the passage of sup
plies to Russia. A fourth is that she
may actively enter the war on the
side of the United Nations.
p" Aldt w NV iaS"SNSA, AilonS
clear is why Turkey should abandon
her present neutrality. What pur-
pose would she have in going to war?
She must know that the moment
she does anything which clearly re-
veals such a purpose, the Axis viii
strike her with everything they have
She is almost surrounded by Italian
German and Roumanian armies
ready to launch invasions from hall
dozen different points. Her cite:
would be subjected to instant, devas-
tating air attack.
She would hardly voluntarily as
sumo the devastation and destruction
which would follow war unless she
had been promised benefits which
outweighed them.
But what would these benefits be:
Territorial gains? Did Churchill hole
out some such bait?t If so, wha
becomes of Paragraph 2 of the At.
lantic Charter to which he solemnly
subscribed? This section expresse.
! British-American opposition to terri.
torial changes which do not ACCORD
with the freely expressed wishes o
the peoples concerned.
She is bordered, either directly o.
via the Black Sea, by Roumania, Bull
garia, Greece, Russia, Iran, Iraq ane
French Syria. Is it likely that thu
people of any part of these countrie
would voluntarily choose to joiI
Turkey? .s
Or are their wishes to be disre.
garded? We have already discarded
Paragraph of the so-called Atlantic
Charter. Are we now discardint
Paragraph. 2? ,s
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1943-02-11

The answer may be that they have
no intention of entering. It may also
be that nothing has been promised
them, other than greater flow OF
supplies and equipment for their mill
tary and naval establishments from
Britain. .,.....~ .-. ~. i.
It may be that British propaganda
is playing up the Churchill Turkish
meeting for definite purpose-to
dupe Hitler into an attack on Turkey
If he can be convinced that Turkey
will ultimately enter the war against
him he will be certain to strike be-
fore the Turks gather too much
strength. sd, .,.s .
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1943-02-11

And we would be under no obliga-
ton to reward Turkey by giving her
territory. 1t is she who would be
under obligation to us for defending
her against the invader.

Freedom OF Religion

Herewith is the third article in
a series of five on the Four Free
doms, which have been released
by the Office of War Information:
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1943-02-11

Only one people, namely those of
French Syria, may possibly choose
to join Turkey. 1t was formerly a
part of the Turkish Empire and was
taken away from her during the
World war and given to France.
But what would France say to this?
What effect would it have on the
postwar relationship between France
and Britain?
So far the Turks have proved
themselves both hard-headed and
realistic. It hardly seems likely that
they'll 60 to war over mere slogan.
If this is a correct estimate, and if
they may not hope for territorial
gains, why should they enter the
conflict?
