Two Answers To
A PerPIexing
Question
By Charles ID. Rowe

Why are we under any obliga-
tions to fatten up those wallpapers
just to get them in condition to
fight US again?
A Libby friend of mine and were
discussing whether or not we
Americans had duty to help feed
the hungry hordes of Europe, while
we are trying TO get them back on
their feet WhereupOn he gave ut
terance to the above cynical ques-
ton. and added that many people
are asking the same question He
asked why should we deny our
selves to help a potential enemy.
We admit the doubling ones have
some basis for the cynicism Twice
in a generation we have been called
on to expend the blood of our young
men. scores Of millions of dollars,
and mountains of our national re-
sources in order to help destroy a
evil in Europe and Asia.
Despite the unthinkable horrors the
people of those unhappy continents
have suffered, it now looks as though
they haven't yet learned their les
SON And the eVeT4present question
is facing whether we are march
ing straight into a third world war?
Can we blame some people if they
become cynical?
In searching for an honest answer,
two pictures appear before us. One
was in recent issue of Time maya
zine 1t portrayed three small Ger
man babies laid out on a table while
nurses worked over them They
were pitiful specimens-thin, bony,
scraWny. showing every indication
OF undernourishment And we pause
to think of our steadfast conviction
that every child has the God-given
right to be well-born We contrast
that picture with the rolly- polly
babies of America And from that
picture of the suffering. distressed
German babies we get a large part
of the answer to our question. II
is the appeal of simple humanity
How can we sit down to well-laden
tables day after day with no thought
Of the hungry. under-nourished mil
lions of Eurasia, even though they
were recently our bitter enemies?

Well, Now, Wosn' t
Thot Too Bod

We couldn't help but chucklo
when we read how war veterans
broke up a meeting in Philadelphia
called by the Progressive Citizens
of America to protest against the
investigation of Hollywood Com
4aHnism. If we are not mistaken
the Progressive Citizens are
merely a high-sounding name for
communist Sympathlzers And 1t
was very evident that the veterans
classed them in that category
The near-riot demonstration by
the veterans took place in historic
independence Square, a fitting place
for a display of good, old-fashioned
American patriotism against the sub
Versive mountings of agents OF a for
eign government. When speakers at

We're greeted with shouts of stop
it-stop it-go back to Russia" The
one-time soldiers also seemed to be
well prepared for the squabble. An
Aelectronically amplified loudspeaker
roared out the changing Of bell
and the screaming of siren. Stink
bombs were set off beneath the
speakers platform Finally the PRO
gressive Citizens" gave up the UNI
even battle and retired licking their
wounds II required about 25O
policemen to keep the affair from
turning into a genuine riot.
Now. technically speaking, such
a demonstration would be considered
by some people hardly in keeping
with our claim of freedom of speech
here in the u. S. A. But we are
not too badly worried over that.
The Communists grant no one free
dom of speech where they have
unquestioned authority. And while
there is a real danger in permit
ting attacks on what we prize as
freedom of speech, yet we cannot
be too worried over this little in
cident
We are inclined to congratulate
the veterans. and we chuckle with
them over the surprise pulled by
Harry Knable, commander of the
Order of the Purple Heart in the
Philadelphia area. Knable got to
a mocrophone on the promise to
quiet the mob, and thersupon called
out to the crowd: Fellow Ameri-
cans. I want TO congratulate you
for a demonstration as READ Ameri-
cans"

Is Step in Right
Direction

The movement started during the
past week by residents along Flow
er and Parmenter creeks, looking to
correction, if possible, OF the danger
of damage from flood conditions, is
approaching the problem in the
proper way.
At various times the waters of
these streams have threatened real
damage. This fall, with sudden
flash flood roaring down the can
yons, that danger became a reality.
Considerable damage was done, as
was reported in the columns of this
newspaper last week II has aroused
those who came under the threat
to organize and see if they can not
do something to lessen or make i'm
possible a recurrence of the eXper-
fence that was just the opposite
of being pleasant.
We say they are taking proper
action to combat this trouble be-
cause of a conversation had with
Chief Engineer Hopkins, of the
Army engineers, when he was in
Libby recently to look into flood
conditions. He was at first dis
inclined to recommend federal aid
for the local flood condition be-
cause very little had been done
from a local standpoint to correct
the trouble He was referred to
the two occasions when Army en-
gineers had worked valiantly and
successfully to keep the bikes in
the Boomers Ferry Ida, area from
going out. His answer was that the
Idaho people had spent thousands
of dollars to reclaim their land and
were therefore entitled to assistance. I
His attitude was that the govern I
ment was disinclined to help those
who had not first made an endeavor /
to help themselves.
Everyone admires those who
tackle their own problems with a
determination to conquer them, and
naturally every one will hope that
their endeavors will meet with a
bundant success.

be necessary TO force only a small
minority to accept essential Jobs
against their win.
Since the order applied only to
unemployed workers, it could be
made effective on a large scale by
creating unemployment. Said the
New Statesman and Nation: First
labor has got to become unem-
ployed; and as a means of creating
unemployment, unessential trades
will be denied priority in alloca-
ton of fuel and raw materials In
other words, manpower is to be re-
distributed by inducing over not
yet clearly defined sector in in
dustry, a species of creeping par
alysis."
And thus socialism works in
Great Britain.

azine says that with certain ex-
ceptions (married women and girls
under 20), the government can send
unemployed workers anywhere that
it wants them.

directed worker, nor hire or try to
hire new personnel except through
the government. Maximum punish

is one part of the answer to the
| cynical question. But that is only
part of what is involved We helped
destroy Hitlerism and the japanese
warlords to save the world from a
hated despotism. It appears we must
now help to save the world from
another equally evil despotism in
the form of militant Soviet COM
munism. The Soviets, as we have
been so frequently told, desire hum
ger. turmoil and despair as an aid
and a fruitful soil for the spread
ing of their power Therefore by
helping to feed the hungry ones of
Europe until they can again feed
themselves, we are merely looking
out for our own ultimate welfare.
Thus there are two very good
seasons why we should take a little
from our abundance to help the
unfortunate ones of Europe and
Asia One is the call from suf-
fering humanity; the other is re-
gard for our own best interests.
And we are asked to do so little

barked on a wild spending spree IA
years ago, this writer insisted many
times that such national eXtrava-

people, in one form or another of
