If the United States ever has labor gov
ernment it should benefit by all the trials and
tribulationS experienced by the British labor
government. AS spanking to Winston Churc-
hill for his attacks on the government, one
Labor Party member of Parliament recon-
mended that all of Churchills cigars be taken
away from him. But even such extreme pun
ishment as this has failed to intimidate Eng
lands "spivs"-the term applied to loafers and
gamblers who refuse to go into essential prof
duction work. national scandal was nearly
caused in London when it was discovered that
spivs were doping performing fleas appearing
in illegal flea races. That could never hap
pen under labor government here. The spivs
would be too busy testifying before the House
Un-American Activities Committee that the
labor government, by banning the races, was
underming he flea enterprise system.

Meeting The InfIation Crisis
Hearts
Desire
BY Ruth Taylor

1GCdOIIl 10 TIC llSliI "
seek for ones hearts desire
and to let the other man hunt
for his"
This trenchant definition of
freedom is one of those SEN
tences that stay with you, for,
after all, doesn't it express the
ideals and dreams of each and
every one of us? We are all
seekers after our hearts de-
sire, that vision that is our
guiding star leading us on
through Encouragement, heart
ache and despair toward a
shining goal at the rainbow's
end.
"The right to Seek"-free-
dom to move about, to be no
mans slave and no mans mas
ter, but free to search for
those things which we want, a
home, economic security, a job
in which we can serve others
because we wish to serve.
That is a right forever laid
down to us in the Constitution.
That is a right we will never
abrogate, though we may vol
UNFAIRLY lay it aside in times
of common danger.
"Our hearts desire"-the
goal of happiness which is
common to all of us-no mat
ter how we may express it.
Our hearts desire is for the
betterment of ourselves and of
those we hold dear. 1t may be
sacrifice that Is our hearts
desire, the priests who went to
minister unto the lepers were
so motivated.
DIFFERS
1t may be the building of a
home that is our hearts de-
sire; the conquering of the
wilderness was the fruit of
this wish. 1t may be greater
benefits for our children; our
free schools, our gteat univer.
stiles, our high spirited teach
ers are the fulfillment of that
dream. Our hearts desire is
not the same for any of US
but it is ours, created out of
our needs, our hope and our
faith-not by the will of an
other man.
ITO let the other man hunt
for his"-we cannot keep free
dom to ourselves. Freedom is
never a lonely thing, a right
of one man for himself alone.
Special privilege is license not
liberty. Freedom by its very
nature is universal. We must
never forget that the master
Is slave as we'll as the man;
the jailer as well as the cap
tive. Our homes are safe as
we respect our neighbors
home. Our children grow in
strength and learn wisdom as
we make these opportunities
free to all children. We go
freely to worship as we allow
our neighbor the same priv
ilege. No church, regardless
of denomination, is safer than
its neighboring cath edral,
church or synagogue. Freedom
is based on the self-respect of
man, and on his correspond.
ing respect for this neighbor
as q man.
Freedom is the right to
seek for ones hearts desire
and to let the other man hunt
for his"
