The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1944-10-26

The last time the matter was under
discussion someone referred to him as
''the little man on the wedding cake
and then someone else said that ne
rehearsed his speeches running around
under the dining room table.
But of course that's not exactly the
way to discuss national and even inter-
national political issues.
The trouble is, however, that it's
very difficult to find the proper way,
when there is so little said to the
point 1t is hard to disagree with what
isn't known.
When man doesn't say anything
much about domestic issues, you have
hard time going much beyond say
ing that when a man SO doubts his own
ideas that he doesn't put them clearly
into speech or writing, you haven't got
much there.
And, of course Tor so it has been
said) foreign affairs aren't at issue.
We are so beautifully united on for
eign affairs! But don't we know better?
There are couple of kinds of
kickers these days the hate boys
playing at their senseless game OF
hating. Some of them hate because
they have to fill out forms, when fill
ing out forms is such a nuisance. Some
of them hate because they don't like
to deal with unions and there's scarce
ly any escape from that today.
And lot of those who do the fanci~
est hating could look back to 1923, ii
they would, aid remember that during
that big famine period Cal Coolidge
and Herbert Hoover had led them to
place where they didn't have one dime
to rub against another
But golly how they forget. How they
do forget!
And now they are all intrigued by
that little man on the wedding cake,
whom they fondly hope-against all
reasonable hope-will be elected to rid
them of blanks to fill out, taxes to pay
and unions to deal with.
Desert men now and then see some
thing that they call a mirage and
admit it.
Turn now to something else Not
long ago Henry Wallace wrote an adj
dress for delivery upon the occasion of
the dedication of a new agricultural
college i'm Honduras.
There are good many Americans
who don't even know where to find
Honduras on the map. But Henry
Wallace knows where it is and he
knows that it is important to the
United States
In his address the vice president
said something of as much interest in
our own south as i'm Honduras. He said
that one of the detectives of the new
school would be to develop new crops
not previously grown i'm the American
tropics, so that life could be richer,
more secure and better balanced.
The vice president said such new
crops would help in the industrializa-
ton of beautiful Honduras and would
furnish the basis for increased pur-
chasing power to buy imports from
North America.
That Henry Wallace fellow has
lot of sense in his head.
Now North Americans are thinking
about Latin America, too. But too
many of them are thinking in the good
Did terms - how to get into Latin
America to get its wealth out and into
L. l,.,,.ls, nf Month
Take a look at some of the strug-
Cling going on for communications
lfter the war; You don't hear so much
lbout what can we take to them as
You do about what can we haul out
IF there"
The postwar world must be two
way street if it is to be Il street men
will walk on through the years. Good
will must be earned; it can't be
)ought
But you don't hear much talk like
hat in certain campaign quarters.
You hear too darned much about
.ool planning and high strategy-about
lot making any mistakes in speeches
md about the usual clap trap of pro-
essional politicians out to win an
election, come what may.
What we want is talk about sanely
building good world, with our own
lation the finest, soundest, fairest and
quarest part of it, Get off that cake!
