So it has been ever since. The
Grand Old Party" apparently in.
tends to cling to its second adjective
by struggling f1tfully against the
intrusion of any progressive voice
raised from Its own ranks.
Alliance Denounced.
Representative La Toilette might
have added that neither is the
Democratic party vehicle which
one can use any longer to fight for
liberal, progressive legislation" This
was not so under President Roose-
welt, but who can contemplate with
any degree Of satisfaction the un-
holy bipartisan alliance that today
controls the Congress? Democrats
vie with Republicans in seeing how
reactionary they can be. They COM
pete in slashing at the heart OF any
bit of liberal legislation that appears,
pallid and ghostlike, in either House
Of Congress. Nor does the Truman
administration offer any effective
leadership for liberal, progressive
legislation" To that sort OF thing
the influences close to the throne
are inimical. BY influences close to
the throne" I mean the Laughing
Boy, George E. Allen, John w. Sny-
der, and some others.
Liberals Take Beating.
In addition to Representative La
Toilette, the supposedly liberal At
torney General Kenny (of tidelands
fame) got a terrific lacing In Cali
fornia from Republican Gov. War
rem even In the Democratic pri-
maries. In Nebraska Gov. Stassen
foolishly ignoring the lesson taught
by the primary fight Of the late
Wendell Willkie two years ago in
Wisconsin, espoused the cause OF
Gov. Griswold for Senator against
Senator Butler.
Here the liberal cause took an
other severe drubbing at the hands
of the party machine as about one
third of the Republicans voted. One
would think that few free men, ca
pable Of adult cerebration, would
even cast glance in the direction
of Senator Butler. His success
shows to what low estate the Ne
braska of the late George w. Norris
has fallen, although the fact is that,
politically, it did not have very far
to fall.
I reiterate my prediction that Mr..
Stassen will not be the Republican
nominee. This is too bad, not so
much because of Mr.. Stassen as an
individual. but because he has raised
a liberal voice in the Old party. One
can almost see Gov. Bricker spilling

est
With the world not yet at peace
and talk of another war too genera
not to notice, we have gone from E
high state of readiness to an almos
complete state of unreadiness. Oul
armed forces have dwindled unit
they are inadequate to fulfill oul
commitments abroad-a condition
in sharp contrast to that of oul
major war allies. As things stane
now, the draft has been extended
In such form as to be just short OF
disastrous. It's inadequacy is clear
but nothing can be done about it.
United States Leadership Lost.
Clearly, the speed with which VIZ
have deteriorated militarily de,
creases the effectiveness of oul
world leadership. Inevitably, the
> power of the United States in the
United Nations is diminished, the
influence of our representative In
all international groups lessened anG
our whole foreign policy enfeebled
1t ought not to be this way-but
that is the way 1t is. Moral strength
and unselfish purpose ought to be
sufficient equipment for world lead
ership but they are not and every
practical man knows it.
The refusal OF the House to re-
verse itself was bad in other ways,
too. 1t repudiated not only the
President and his chief of staff, Gen
3 Eisenhower, but every detached and
II competent authority in the country
1t played into the hands of the
radical labor leaders and the Com
munist party, whose aim is to pre-
vent strong foreign policy. The
fact is that these elements offered
the only organized opposition to ad-
equate draft extension and expan-
sion
The attitude of the House-and
especially the attitude of the House
conferees-can be explained solely
on the ground of politics. This is
an election year, and every member
first has to be renominated and
then reelected. In every district
there are certain number of par
. ents naturally reluctant to the
drafting of their sons.
Pressure from Parents.
Pressure came from these-par-
ticularly from the mothers. Added
to the organized labor groups, the
leaders of which behaved about the
draft as though it were a rattle
snake, this was enough to alarm

tives to the point where they were

against their own President and

1t was an exceedingly unedifying
exhibition. Members of Congress
knew that ma jority of the people
favored the stand of Mr.. Truman
and Gen. Eisenhower. They knew
the people believed them when
they said it was important to pass

pose are organized, remembering
and punitively disposed. In brief
the emasculation of the measure was
political and ignoble.
That the opposition was able to
nullify the weight of the President
and his military advisers when they
were so clearly right does not speak
well for our system. The best that
can be said of this bill is that it is
better than nothing.

Subject for Sunday, October 6 is:
"Unreality." Golden Text: 1 John
2: 10. All that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon is: Proverbs IL: 2 and
Isaiah 2: IL. When pride cometh,
then cometh shame: but with the
lowly is wisdom. The lofty looks
of man shall be humbled, and the
haughtiness of men shall be bowed
down, and the Lord alone shall be
exalted in that day. A correlative
passage from the Textbook "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
is: Up. GA and 483 and 1922. Pride,
envy, or jealousy seems on most
occasions to be the master of cere-
monies, duling out primitive Chris
tianity.. One must fulfil ones
mission without timidity or dissim-
ulation, for to be well done. the
work must be done unselfishly....
AS in Jesus time, so to-day, tyrany
and pride need to be whipped out
of the temple, and humility and di-
vine Science to be welcomed in.

war lords capitulated to General of
the Armies Douglas Macarthur.
Company employees saw service in

roamed the skies in P-3S's, Flying

Return to Normal
AS veterans began returning
from overseas, many government
officials were deeply concerned
with the problems involved in the
readjustment of war ! veterans to
civilian life. The management's
experience at Playtex Park indi-
Gates that American boys who saw
service in the armed forces have
been quick to return to a normal
way of life. Veterans who have
been employed by the Information.
al Latex Corporation have never
asked nor expected preferential
treatment. Their record of pro.
duction, attendance, steadiness
loyalty and cooperation is one tc
be proud of. At Playtex Park dis
abled and handicapped veterans
are performing a multiplicity Of
jobs in production, maintenance
shipping, technical, electrical, and
administrative posts. Veterans are
assigned jobs for which they are
best fitted by training and ability
Their performance is equal to that
of other employees in these jobs
AS Playtex Park continues to ex.
pand and grow it is expected that
suitable openings will occur fol
more and more handicapped veter.
ans. No man is assigned to jot
at which his performance will fal
below the average, because of dis.
ability. The management feels
that it is necessary for a veterans
self-confidence to assign such work
to him as will make it evident, moi
only to the veteran himself but tc
his felloW-workers, that he is equal
to or above the average of the
group. The International LateX
Corporation will continue to do its
share in attempting to repay the
debt the entire nation owes to the
gallant men who not only fought
for their country but sustained in
juries and disabilities in the line OF
