NO RATIONING OF FREEDOM

Te views expressed are those Of the writer and
do not necessarily express the editorial opinion of this pperEd
NO RATIONING OF FREEDOM
There many definitions for freedom It is what
you call aurng word - because it means all things to
all people
Ask the small boy on a spring day and he'll answer
you promptly, mo school and the fish biting" Ask the
Spectator, he'll say, mo restrictions and quick mar
ke Ask the dictator and he'll say, "A fat neghbor who
VIII not struggle my divine right to take what want"
ASK the pioneer and he will say Uncluttered horizons
and chance to make my way Ask the deas and he
VIII say "A new world where all may share of the bounties
of earth. Ask the religious and he will say "A life
In which may worship my God according to my own con-
science and obey His holy laws"
Why are there many definitions? Because freedom
Is not static thing. 1t is not rule but way of life 1t
is obligation 1t is determined by our relationship to
in civilized community is the way of life that demands
intelligent followers
Freedom does not include the right to carry poison to
talk against our neighbor to judge him by his ancestors
or his kindred Only by his companions may we ever con-
denim him. Freedom carries with it belief in the DIGNITY
and sacredness of every human being For all Jew and
GENTLE White and Negro, rich and poor there should he
unraoned brotherhood is the slogan of one free COM
munity Freedom must demonstrate to the world that
diversity OF culture strengthens nation feeding with
fresh water the springs of national life
Freedom is justice and must remember that in q
court of justice is honest until proven otherwise
Judgment IS not passed what others have done Judge
not thy neghbor by others There are good and bad in
every creed and more good than bad.
One mans freedom is another mans freedom - wheth.

When we get angry, he goes out

He is nice to me in every way.
Ans: This man would not In.
sist on your marrying him II he
did not love you. If he were In

asked as to Federal control of medicine and disqualification, indicate a remark able understanding of the issue by ma jority of citizens, and their opposition to plans which would establish compulsory rules and taxes relating to medical care, which the individual would have to com ply with whether or not he so desired.
 On the other hand, the great majority of persons though that something could be done to make it easier for people to pay doctor and hospital bills, and fav- ored prepayment plans to provide such service.
 It is evident from the answers that the American people do not want the national government meddling in the vital field of medical service and that they believe in our effective system of personalized medi- cal care. Also, it is evident that they know about and desire a method for the pre- payment of medical care costs. This de- mand must be met.
 The need is for movement forward on all fronts by all forces to extend to all the people who so desire the benefits that are accruing to approximately 25,OOO,OOO through voluntary plans and methods now in operation for prepayment of medical and hospital service.

Post-War Plane Trips

While the hows and who's of postwar aviation remain red hot unsettled ques- tions, Pan American Airways is looking ahead. In fact the company has fixed up timetable for round -the-world flights beginning July l, l948. Round-trip to London, $i86.30; I3.48 hours. There will be five flights day out of New York. You will also be able to get five planes for Moscow or 10 day for Rio de Janeiro. both flights taking about l9 hours and costing around $250 round trip. There are also schedules and prices for Paris, Fairbanks, Singapore, Berlin, Cairo practically anywhere you might want to go. Even Tokyo.
 Wonderful, isn't 1t? But already it be- gins to sound a little pokey The other day Howard Hughes flew some 2,3OO miles in less than seven hours, and in a ship built for a commercial airline. Four years from now even that speed will probably have been bettered.
 So in July AS we may be saying, "Yes, we're taking that overnight plane to Lon don. Thirteen hours, but the meals are wonderful and my wife wants to have glimpse of Ireland. even though we're only there a few minutes. Of course, when I'm on business and in hurry take fast plane But don't mind pok- Ine along on weekend trip"

Quotations From Shakespeare

Today we're going to quote Shakes peare-not William, but contemporary whose first name is Monroe, and who owns fishing tackle plant turned air plane parts factory in Kalamazoo, Mich. This Kalamazoo Shakespeare runs more to truth than poetry. His speech is de- void of elegance or imagery. But there is a good bit of sound and timely sense in a plan he outlined the other day to Edward A. Evans of the Scripps-Howard newspapers. People without work con- sume taxes" said MT. Shakespeare. "Peo- pie in productive jobs pay taxes and pro- vide better markets for business and ln- duStry." There is a statement as unaS- sailable as any of the boards best aphor- isms. But the contemporary Shakes peare doesn't leave it at that. He Sug- gests ways and means of achieving the second condition, a conSummation de- voutly to be wished in the postwar future.
 Specifically, MT. Shakespeare would have the government give employers a direct and positive incentive for creating new jobs after the war. Michigan, he points out, rewards businesses with good records for steady employment by reduc- ing their unemployment compensation contributions from to 3, 2 or percent. He doesn't see why Congress couldn't adopt a similar plan. He suggests establishing an employment base of 60 per cent of the personnel employed at the wars end. The employer would get no credit for base level or below. But he would get per cent credit for each per cent rise, and 20 per cent tax credit for full wartime employment. At the end of the year the employment base and incentive rates would be revised ac- cording to the unemployment still re- maining.
 Mir. Shakespeare wouldn't have Con- gress paying off on phony figures. The new jobs would have to be real ones - 35 to 40 hours a week, and 45 or 48 weeks a year. Such plan would obviously save the Treasury more than was lost through tax credits. Mass unemployment, as MT. Shakespeare points out, would mean spending billions to put people to some sort of work, probably through some sort of WPA. The country couldn't afford that. The taxpayer who footS the unem- ployment bill would certainly like to avoid it. It's hard to see much objection to MT. Shakespeare'S plan from anybody's point of view. It is apparent that the majority of Americans-including organ ized labor-would like to see private in- dustry solve the whole postwar full em- ployment problem if it can.

will never be forgotten by cer- tain minority groups.
 All this had significant reper- cussion the other day in the House of Representatives when Congres- man Glare Hoffman of Michi- gan, noisiest of all Republicans, rose to defend himself against the book, Under Cover.
 While he spoke, Rankin kept jumping up and down on the Democratic side of the aisle, try ing to advise Hoffman on how to proceed. Finally, Republican Hoff- man exploded:
 'T've been accused of follow. ing the leadership of the gen. tleman from Mississippi" he said. And the Republican party has been accused of following the gentleman. Right now, I'd like to proceed in my own way" WASTED MUNITION PLANT
 This column has frequently criticized waste of public funds on war contracts. A particular spectacle of wasteful spending exists in Granite City, Illinois, where a big armor-plate and tank turret plant was completed about a year ago at a $26,000,O00 cost to the taxpayers.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS More Quaint ClimatOIOgy

It is easy to live in a climate where there is no winter and tell us who have to fight the cold, damp, blustery zero winds, snow, slush of the north that it has nothing to do with health. How about the lungers who find cure in the sunny south west while their less fortunate brothers die here at hone2 (W. MD Answer-If you could tabulate. say five thousand cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in the northeast and five thousand cases in the southeast you'd find little if any difference in the mortality rate, regardless of climate.
 Chewing Paraffin
 Have had the habit of chewing paraffin or parowax for the past eight years. Is this habit injurious to the teeth or to health? (Mrs. S. H)

 Ambulant Treatment
 Thank you for recommending such a skillful doctor for ambulant treatment of hemorrhoids. I am so pleased with the result, and the best thing of all is I never lost on hour from my regular work nor had enough discomfort to matter throughout the course of treat ments.

A Way to Help

Most of us know about the paper short age, and are cooperating in the salvage campaign. The shortage isn't licked yet, but here is a remarkably easy thing that every householder can do to relieve it:
 Take home one less average-size paper bag. from the grocery whenever you go marketing. It doesn't seem like much. But if each one of Americas estimated 34,854,532 families used one less bag every day, the daily saving would amount to 1884 tons-enough paper to make rings for 272,30l 500-pound bombs; or containers for l,8l5,385 75-mm shells; or blueprint paper for 65 battleships.
 How to do it? Have your grocer put more items in one big bag; bring bags with you to the store and use them again; carry packaged merchandise unwrapped; use string or other non-paper shopping bag. It WILL help.

Stabilization First

Congress can win itself some cheers land probably some voteS) by overhaul ing the Price Control and Stabilization Acts, which are up for extension as of June 30. But the legislators may have to change their method of approach if the job is to be really effective one. Both the OPA and the War Labor Board could do with some fixing. There have been plenty of instances of foolishneSS, arro- gance, bullheadedneSs and confusion in the former. There have been reverseS, spinners and shovel passes in dealing with wage disputes. Congress, however, will not help matters if it continues to regard the whole problem primarily as a campaign issue, which seems to be the cease now. The OPA half of the problem has turned into an theological Squabble
 ptween Administration supporters in
 o1gresS and foes of government by
 ~rective" In the cheering section of the Latter group are number of constituents with Sundry complaints against OPAS administration. The legitimacy of these complaints has supplied the 78th Con- greSS with some lively and occasionally Wtuperative debate.
 Some of the above constituents had a chance to speak their minds recently before a special House committee headed by Rep. Howard Smith of Virginia. The committee came out of its hearings with a set of recommendations which are now in the hands of the House Banking and Currency Committee. From afar, some of the recommendations look good - re- view of OPA and WLB orders in federal courts; abolition of triple damages; ban on punitive, destructive penalties; pro- lection from punishment resulting from conflicting OPA orders. But as a while the recommendations put tight lid on wages with a tendency toward letting prices rise. They provide for basic cell ings as of October, 1942, adjusted to meet subsequent cost increases and profits. They also make price advance manda- tory for individuals who can prove loss under existing ceilings despite efficient management. In short, they seem to promise even less balance between prices and wages than now exists.
 This path goes in an opposite direction from the fight against the Little Steel formula but it comes out at the same place. Congress chief concern must be to create firmer price-wage balance, not simply to remove authority from OPA and WLB and take it to Capitol Hill, without having remedied the Stabiliza- ton programs basic weaknesses. It is true, of course, that nobody really knows how stabilization is working, thanks to conflicting cost-of living reports. This isn't Congress fault. But Congress won't find the answer to the question by bu- reaucratic witch hunts. Stabilization should be the goal of their quest. And there ought not be be any pursuits of red herrings along the rest of the route, as have been in the past.

SECRETARY FRANK KNOX
(Hartford Courant)

With the death of Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy since July II, l940, the nation has lost a fighting man of great courage-a crusader in peace and in war. His military record. of which he was justly proud began with his service along with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War. Dur ing the First World War. he served with the artillery in France. His career has closed, as he may well have desired, while engaged in acc tive duty as administrator of the worlds mightiest Navy, at present engaged in a war on the Seven Seas.
 Although he has been denied the privilege of holding the helm of the Navy Department until the day of victory, he was always confident that that day would come. And he was as fixedly convinced that, in the words of Admiral Kings recent ly issued official report. we are now fully entered upon the long roads that still lie ahead. foreified with unity, power mad experience. imbued with confidence and deter mined to travel far and fast to yic- tory" This certainty, the very spirit of the United States Navy, is in itself a fitting tribute to the Ad- ministratiye zeal and ability of Sec retaFy Knox.
 The secret of the outstanding suc- cess of this Rough Rider with the Navy is to be found in his cons eeptlon of his Cabinet duties. MT. Knox did not interfere with the trained leaders of the Fleet. He knew his limits in that respect. Rather, he conceived 1t as his duty to interpret the Navy in terms un. destandable to the American public, to stimulate to the utmost our pTo- duetion of ships and arms, and to help increase the morale of our fighting units. No matter to what extent at times one may have dis- agreed with the Secretary, or crit. ieized him for his various and many nttefanees, it must be admitted that he got Tesults-results that are at this very hour paving the way to victory.
 In his chosen field of Journalism MT. Knox was ever the crusader for . cause. As publisher Of the Chicago Daily News, he preached military preparedness in season and out, a bold advocate of the conviction that America must be ready to assist ln crushing old World tyranny, toda' still threatening 10 destroy the free aoms of the New World.

son, the Army Ordnance Depart ment has abandoned it except for a few buildings which have been turned over to a manufacturer of steel springs.
 The Granite City project re- Quired two years to build, and funds were dumped promiscuously into it to make all facilities ultra modern. Everything was to be electrically operated, including five large open hearth furnaces and eighteen smaller, heat-treat- ing furnaces. They set the gov- ernment back $8,000,0O0.
 More than Sl0, ,000. .0o0 was spent for building construction. Only about half of the new buildings are now occupied by the private spring manufacturer, and these had to be rem0deled at am additional cost of S3S2,- 600 when the War Department decided to abandon the plant,

 Though this will make t easy for the Administration, 1t also adds to It's responsibilities. Where the 0p. position Is weak, less argument and often less consideration may be given weighty matters. Mistakes gre possible where proper attention D not focused upon every angle eg . controversy.
 Let the Mayor. therefore, Dc pga- dently careful; and realize fully that he and his party though ablt to lay full claim to all successes, will also receive full blame for ail errors.
