brother married in Al. They
separated once and went back
together. They have one child
and she had a child when they
married that she called his. He
was called in the service and
when he left she started running
around drinking and letting the
children 60 any old way. Now
he is discharged and has taken
her back and insists that the
family accept her as though
nothing had happened. Should
we accept her in the family?
Ans: Your brother has already
made his decision in the matter
For you and the family to take
up the issue at this late date
would only upset your brother

Warning Sounded.
Whether it is possible to achieve
working socialism under democratic
government-whether an economic
blueprint can ever be subjected to
the vagaries of the vote-is prob
ably the central problem of political
philosophy. Americans, mindful of
their tradition Of rugged individual
ism, are inclined to take seriously
the warnings of such books as
Frederick A. Hayek's "The Road to
Serfdom" that socialism In any form
always developes into totalitarian-
ism or paves the way for 1t.
But despite such warnings, the
world beyond our borders has in
fact taken the step to socialism and,
in fact, viii not turn back. There
fore, the point which must be un-
derstood by capitalist America is
that If Prof. Hayek and his friends
are right. we must look forward to
the not-too-distant day when this
country is the only one In which
the rights of man" are still con-
sidered worth even talking about.
And if that day comes, it is obvious
that they cannot be saved here.
The United States, then, is in this
paradoxical position:
Most of its citizens believe in
capitalism as the system which
offers man the highest standard of
living he can obtain. and which best
guarantees his freedom.
So believing, Americans must do
all they can to help the rest of the
world prove that the rival system
Of socialism can work, and that free
men can work it.
They must do this even at the

issue is whether they can get what
they are determined to get as free
men, or whether they have to be-
come slaves to get it.
The chance that Americans, In the
years ahead, can hang onto their
basic civil liberties-the right to
think, talk, act and vote as free
men rather than as cogs in an au-
thoritarian ne-depends on
the outcome of this global battle of
ideas.
To say that the forces of socialism
are on our side in the battle is to
understate the cases. It Is the forces
OF socialism abroad, rather than
those of conservative America, that
are in the actual firing line. For a
variety Of reasons, people In the
United States are, little tempted ID
intrust their dreams Of economic
security to the hard masters in the

ne Court Justices Are Kindly and umsn IN Conduct On Bench

There are no juries, no ofiicial
stenographer. no evidence Tho
cases are decided upon the written
record and the oral arguments Of
counsel and their briefs. Under the
rules Of the Supreme Court. neither
the clerk Of the court nor clerks to
the justices are permitted to prac-
tice law during their terms Of ONCE.
The court, except for holiday re-
cesses. Is In session from October
to June.
The process OF the court Is is
sued In the name of the President
of the United States.
Spectators are not permitted to
take notes In the courtroom. This
right Is reserved for the jurists,
lawyers and members of the press.
No photographs are permitted while

The sketches Of the court, here pre-
sented, were made by the artist,
who spent considerable time In the
courtroom and who was aided by
photographs Of the individual jurists.
The thoughtful observer Is here
impressed that In this august Su-
Ipreme Court chamber, with its DOM
mating colors Of red and black and
white. are translated into reality
and modern life the sonorous
phrases set down IN the imperish-
able Constitution of the United
States. And that precious docu-

And when one considers what has
been happening In the rest of the
world in the last decade, these
American rights, enforced by the
Supreme Court, seem all the more
precious and vital. The Supreme
Court is not just listening to a lot
of legal jargon and Latin phrases

domination-the United Nation
and, If this failed, the signing {.
separate peace treaties between thi
country and her former enemies.
The late Chief Executive mad,
many more sacrifices at the expense
of the smaller nations than the
public knows, to draw Russia into
the U, N. as an active member. He
was satisfied that Stain could not
refuse to play the game, once the
war was over and Russia and her
satellites were members of one big
family. All the territorial and po-
litical concessions made to the
.. S. S. r. during the war, SO Mr.
Roosevelt firmly believed, would be-
come small matters when even the
countries which had suffered from
RHSsia's greed were members of the
same international family.
But when his more hard-boiled
friends pointed out that there was
still a possibility that Moscow might
sabotage the U. N. If the U. N. ap-
peared to oppose Russias historical
aims, Mr.. Roosevelt said that as
was the case after World War T.,
when greed and selfishness replaced
the American ideals, the United
States Government might be COM
PEELED to make a separate peace
with each of its former enemies.
Mr. Roosevelt recognized, of
course, that the situation might be
vastly different from what 1t had
been after 1918. He believed that
the mere suggestion that America
was ready to make series of sep
arste peace agreements would
prompt the majority of victorious
nations to join us and leave Rus
sia a lone VOLTA role she would
not care for.
These views of Mr.. Roosevelt were
known as plan B" to some of his
faithful friends. They were seldom
mentioned because of the repercus-
sions they might have had on Mos
cow. But now they are being men,
toned more than casually by some
of the important members of the
American delegation in New York
and are likely to find a quick re-
sponse in the Senate should Rus-
sia decide to continue to play al

We must not isolate ourselves
from our Allies In this theological
battle. They need us as badly as
we need them. For, In the last
analysis, whether Prof. Hayek turns
out TO be right or wrong win not
depend on the "rightness" or wrong
ness" Of the theses and hypotheses
which he and other political scien-
fists toss about so glibly.
The outcome OF this battle of
ideas. like any other battle, will
depend largely on the strategic and
tactical skin Of the opposing sides,
on the money and tools and effort
which each applies to the struggle,
and. above all, on the rank-and-file
spirit Of the armies.
Capitalist America has much to
contribute to her Allies In this war,
much more than she Ii now con-
tributing.
She has money-and II men are
to lift themselves to a better way
Of life, a way Of life In which they
will no longer be prey to the Com
munist lures, they will need a lot
of 1t.
She has material resources and
technical ow-how-enough, If she
will share it wisely and literally, to
help men create living standards for
themselves which would leave the
Communists with nothing to sell
but the slavery which, despite the
words, is all they actually offer now
America also has the power oi
moral support. If the struggling
and d d'sillusioned abroad could really
know that we are with them. that
we understand and appreciate then
hungers and hopes, this knowledge
alone could reverse the present
trend toward hopelessness and de.
feat.
And II capitalist America fears
this might turn out to be an ex.
pensive sort Of war, let it figure

is because the justices are so human
and each has his own distinguishing

themselves while on the bench and

The courts new presiding officer,
Chief Justice Fred M. vinson Of
Kentucky, is himself very human
and likable. A man of wide expert
