One Word Led to Another
By Patterson
By Arthur Bugs" Baer :

Well, last month wrote about the singing cowboy
who elected United States senator from Idaho the
land of the big potato.
forget what the mans monicker is. 1t doesn't mat
ter because you couldn't pick him out of all those fellows
in Washington.
This lad tried to sing and bang his way into politics
banjo. That's thing discovered, too. You
not stop cowboy from singing sad when he is happy
He will get a blue oyster and slap three
coats of old paint you quick bubbles in hot coffee
The Idaho hockey got himself shelacked good in two
political campaigns When he started singing the Idaho
constituents said: Pop, them there doors
banging again"
So then they turned off the radio. That licked the
singing cowboy better than pup taking care of a sore
paw
Even cowboys get smart If they get old enough So
the singing stashed away his musical frying pan and
on the reform ticket.
Well, what do you know? He was elected and the
next railroad trip he takes will not be in cattle car He
will ride up in front with the paying folks.
That just indicates what persistence will do after
your talent out.

MAYBE you have wondered
WI what lame duck congress-
men do after they have been
heaved out by an ungrateful
electorate.
Well, they do a lot of things.
Many Of them just 60 back
where they came from and re-
sumo doing what they did before
they were elected. Quite a sur
prising number are lawyers, so
little transition is necessary.
They merely charge for advice
instead of giving it away free.
Others become lobbyists. Incl
dentally. many ex-congressmen
do not like the word lobbyist"
because. while they are in office.
they profess to decry lobbying.
So they have thought up a new
name which they apply 10 them
selves when they take up that
kind Of work.
They call themselves "legisla-

Yes. In a list Of over 50
complaints that nearly 1000
husbands and wives listed as
being rare" occasional" or
frequent" in their married
lives, the husbands ranked hav-
ing their wives jealous as very
serious, while the wives scarcely
complained about this at all.
Wives think this shows love and
admiration.
2-Yes. While you might
think q popular woman might
not concentrate her love on one
man as much as does the "one-
man woman" yet she Is more
likely to become a "one-man
woman" after marriage, or at
least be happy with the one
she gets.

THE fundamental American


policy, with rare exceptions
in Central and South America,
has been that this country does
not interfere in the choice that
other peoples make as to the
form and personnel of their
governments.
2 It is true that we failed to
recognize Soviet Russia for
some 10 years because we
would not deal with q Commu-
mist state, but the fact Is that
the Russian people never chose
the Bolsheviks as their rulers.
Lenin and Trotsky imposed
that regime upon the Russian
people willy-nilly and resistance
or even mere protest was and
is punishable by state murder.
Nevertheless, 1t was really
none of our business and when
Mr.. Roosevelt finally chose to
recognize the Soviet regime,
there was no great to-do about
IL in this country.
Pursuing this policy, Mr..
Stettinius introduced himself as
secretary of state by quarrel
ling with our ally. Great Brit
ain, over their policy of reject
ing Sforza in Italy and the
Communists in Greece.
The British are demanding
non-Communist governments in
those countries for which Brit
ish and American blood has
been spilled in this war-coun-
tries which would today be in
Hitler's possession but for
American and British interview
ton on their behalf.
The American policy is that
Il is none of our business
whether those countries are
seized by the Communists or
not.
The British desire democratic,
not communistic governments.
Our policy would have some
justification If the people of
those or any country in liber-
ated Europe enjoyed freedom Of
choice.
Actually, as soon as we drive
the Germans out, we encourage
political choas by refusing TO
administer the liberated areas
Until the people of them can, by
due process, select a govern
ment of their own.
Even De Gaulle has never
been elected by the French
people. although II may be as
sumed that they might have
done so had they had the OPP
portunity.
Liberated countries should be
governed by the liberators until
. order Is established.
Our policy would make sense
II the Third international had
ever really been dissolved or
its principles and practices
abandoned.
Actually. It Is at work every
where.
