To Save Americanism

As if it were his life's last tithe, five percent wnet to church, and five to a Christmas charity, "The 100 Neediest Cases," sponsored by the New York Times. Poland knew the worth of learning and paid a tribute to two schools that were peculiarly his own, Yale University and St. Paul's of Con- cord. The wills other four bene- ficiaries sound a chord of pure patriotism.
 Not every service man who paid his life for victory in World War II possessed this young mans grasp of public affairs, but they all wanted the same thing They wanted to see America the land of opportunity once more. The lieu tenants will expressed all this hope and more, for Toland knew how to save Americas freedom: through peace between labor and management.

Paying to Be Heard

This sober young man laid 60 per cent of his earthly holdings on the altar of industrial peace His mother yet lived. No doubt he had personal friends who need ed funds. Just the same, his larg- est single hope beyond his own life-span was to retain the Ameri- can system of free faith, free speech, free enterprise, popular ballot unrestricted opportunity and equality under the law.
 With 20 per cent he asked Con- gress to heed the plea of many martyrs for laws in the interest of all, not just for pressure groups. Another 20 per cent calls aloud to the National Association of Manu- lecturers, group of small em- ployers sucho as fill more than two-thirds of Americas pay en- velopes. Another fifth begs hear ing by the two biggest labor groups, destined to play an inn portant role in Americas future.

The prospect horrible, Quill planned to go ahead with the strike. The alternative strke-and that also horrible thought to Quill. There is jail and fine penalty for smoking in the subway, but Quill isn't going to get away with anything. The moment he forgets to sweep his sidewalk curb his dog-theyve got him!

Good Will Message

The will was not a document of profound legal verbiage; just hand-writen note from a military nan going to battle quite aware that fighters don't always return from such missions. It was no hastily devised instrument. Every detail shows scholarly thought. The author knew he might be giv- ing his life for Americas future, and tossed-in his possessions as part of the offering.
 Not even a cynical critic of the liberty Ben Poland understood and appreciated could detect tone of bitterness in his harmoni- ous bequests. He met death on February 21 and it is reasonably certain that the will was written at Christmas, far beyond the hor- izon of merriment but in a spirit of Good will toward men" In that holiday gift-list rings a clear note of victory and hope.

SENSE OF DUTY
(Denver Monitor)

(DenVer MOnitor)
 One of the groups most severely hit by the epidemic of strikes is the American farmer.
 While the in factories continuing to prevent the farmer from getting the tools he needs-the trac tors the automobiles the machines and the electrical gadgets-he somehow manages to continue to supply them with ample food But we wonder what would happen if the overworked farmer decided to rebel? Suppos the farmers of our country were unionzed Gas John L. Lewis hoped to have them) and decided they would cut off the tions food supply until they received higher pay better prices for their produce. Such condition would be disastrous but fortunately the farmers have too much of of responsibility to attempt such thing The nation needs food-and they know it is their duty to keep the food suppyne operating without interruption.

 Population of course is not the single determining factor in the power of any nation Many other things enter-education and adaptabity, natural resources geographical location In 25 years Russia has made amazing progress in general education. There is no n dication that this progress will be retarded In fact there are signs that it will continue at accelerated pace In natural the Soviet far exceeds any land in either Europe Asia While location may work against her in regards it probable that she even now-is planning to improve some of her geo. graphical shortcomings notably her lack o open-Water ports.
