L neers, his emphasis on iron

than IL does to laymen.
1t tells them that Mr.. For
restal-which is to say the Ad-
mirals around him---look upon
surface naval forces AZ the main
reliance OF national safety for
America in the immediate flu
ture.
Iron and oil are the key ma
terials of naval power.
Those of us who believe that
air power, rather than sea
power, will be the primary mill
tary arm are less concerned
about iron and gilmore con-
cerned about light metals and
synthetic fuels.
Aluminium. magnesium and
other light metals have already
acquired terrific Importance be-
cause of the growing weight of
aviation in war making.
Assuming that air power will
be recognized as the paramount
force, sources of these metals
will become far more significant
for American national saf e y
and greatness than iron.
The same applies to new fuels.
Oil will continue to be used,
but synthetic fuels, distilled

TI1E error is often made by
l. Mr.. Roosevelt's opponents
that because the New Deal as
an administration is inefficient
and confused and at times blind
ly and obstinately adolescent, it
does not have a clear program.
The New Deal is actually a
philosophy of government as
much as the MarxiSt-Leninist
line with Stalinist notifications
is a philosophy of government,
as much as the Hitlerian adap-
tation Of Fascism is a philoso-
ply of government.
MUCH of the New Deal phi
vi losophy runs counter TO
American traditions which is
why some educators have for
years-even before 1933-cut
American history courses out OF
the school curriculum.

myriad of freedoms contained
in the entire document from
dwarfing Mr.. Roosevelt's pri-
vate four freedoms.
DAVID CUSHMAN COYLE,
~ New Deal philosopher, in
1887. published a little book
entitled, Why Pay Taxes"
which contains much of the
New Deal philosophy.
Mr.. Coyle believes that gov
eminent is not an instrument
of the people, in the sense that
a knife or a corkscrew are USE
full and at times essential but
never as important as their
users.
From Ceyle,s book, infer
that government exists as a sort
of monitor over the people 10
see TO il that they are properly
cared for, even If the people
would prefer to care for them
selves.
In fact taxes in such a
theology becomes not an impost
but privilege.
OBVIOUSLY, If government is
" always TO have this great
program before il, long-term
planning is essential and il is
also essenual-and this is the
giSt of it--that the same gen.
eral group of planners and ad-
illustrators remain in power
over a prolonged period if there
is to be success at all.
In effect, as 1 read this little
book, / felt that Mr.. Coyle,
without quite saying so, believes
in the oriental formula that the
wealth of the people is the
wealth of the government.

lending our government money
which it needs for the prosecution
of the war But too often, through
thoughtless and neglected action in
the performance of our daily work,

Lack of proper maintenance or
careless operation can cause costly
damage to equipment We cannot

And as we save in money, we will

Poet L. Hughes

(COnC1nueQ from rage One)
and short poem entitled "The
Merry Go-Round," were three of
these. "The Merry -Go-Round," a
particularly touching piece, was theA
poem of a little southern Negro boy
who, desiring to ride on the merry
go-round in northern city, asks
the indicting question, where is
the place for little boys who are
black?"
Mr.. Hughes was introduced to the.
audience by 1t. Irma j. Cayton,
who is one of the many old friends
who greeted him on his visit to Fort
Huachuca. During the program,
S/Sgt. Lawrence Whisonant, guest
singer, drew as much applause as
the speaker with his rendition of
several selections, among them Mr..
Hughes epochal Freedom Road"
His accompanist was Pvt. Harold
Brown.
Immediately after the program q
reception was held in the poets
honor, and refreshments were served
by a group of beautifully attired
USO hostesses. Later, Mr.. Hughes
was guest of members of the USO
staff at the Officers MountainvieS
Mess.
Mr.. Hughes, who visited Fort
Huachuca as guest of the USO,
is on a tour of USO clubs and
camps, and is credited with having
recently received a USO service pin
for SO hours of work in the interest
of servicemen.
The poet, who remained at Fort
Huachuca throughout most of the
past week, spoke to many soldier
groups on the Post and was guest
of number of friends, including
COL M. o. Bousfield, Major and
Mrs. Wilbur Strickland, Capt. and
Mrs. S. Randolph Edmonds, 1t.
Cayton and members of the WAC
section.
Upon leaving Fort Huachuca he
