Note the factors, as Mr.. Stassen gave
them:
First Of these is the tremendous in
crease in our productivity. With the skill
of our workmen, the ability Of our manage
menf, and the vigor Of our private capital,
we have reached the stage that clearly
and definitely in the years ahead, in many
lines, we must produce for world markets
rather than only American markets, or
we will find our economy snubbed in,
first gluited and then whitening with un-
employment and deflation.
Second, we have developed trenen-
dous capital resources and have become
the great creditor nation Of the world, SO
that we need high investment of capital
at home and worldwide sources Of in
vestment as well, else u capital becomes
%staqnant and idle and reflects in turn in
idle men and economic turmoil.
Third, with the extensive drains on
our natural resources through wal and
peace, we are becoming increasingly de-
pendent on raw material sources else
where in the world for the sound long.
term future Of our economy.
Fourth, and above all, it is crystal
clear to all Of US that in this modern one
world, we can enjoy that precious peace
with justice only in a world at peace. And
this world cannot remain at peace unless
there be that slow but steady improve
ment Of standards Of living Of other peo-
Piles everywhere"
II is possible that Mr.. Stassen did mol
increase his chances Of being the republi-
can nominee by his frank discussion of the
tariff and Economic participation, but is
TO be praised for voicing such sound
views on issues thai this nation must face
in the years TO come.

LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Thirty-two men have served as
President of the United States. The
two. most famous - George Wash.
ington and Abraham Lincoln -
were both born III February. Last
week, in many parts of the ma
ton, Lincoln's Birthday was OBJ
served as a holiday; and this week
Washington's Birthday will be a
holiday throughout the country.
In this and a later article, we shall
tell you something of the lives OF
these two great men.
Abraham Lincoln was born on
February IL, 1909, in a little log
cabin in Kentucky. The cabin was
a ramshackle affair in a clearing
A few acres of corn stretched away
to the forest.
The father, Thomas Lincoln, was
a carpenter, but seems to have
neglected his trade to wander
through the woods, hunting. To the
mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, was
left almost the entire care of the
little clearing. And to the energy
and brave cheerfulness of this
woman, Lincoln owed the incentive
of his life.
When Abraham was 7 years
old, the family moved to a farm
in Indiana, then almost a wilder
ness. In the autumn of 1918. a
strange sickness broke out all over

STASSEN On THE TARIFF

Former Governor Harold E. Stassen of
Minnesota, who came out in the open long
ago as a candidate for The republican
nomination for the presidency while other
potential candidates practiced coyness,
threw a bombshell in his party camp in
his Lincoln Day address before the Ma
tional Club Of New York.
The United States can no more adopt
economic isolation, he said in effect, than
ii can hope 10 restore the nations old
geographical isolation. The nation, he de-
clared, must assume Leadership in a new
policy Of worldwide economic participa-
lion"
This is so contrary 10 republican prece-
dent that it cannot have failed 10 cause
a chill run up the backs Of the republican
Old Guard. His unalloYed advocacy Of low
tariffs and the reciprocal trade agreement;
program wes we'll calculated TO do Jus
that.
He listed four reasons why a. low TART
policy is essential. They are, in a genera

the countryside. Mrs Lincoln was
stricken and died.
A winter of dismal loneliness
descended upon the family. Often
the father was away for long hunt
ing trips, leaving young Abe and
his sister alone in the cabin. It was
a happy day for them when their
father brought home a new mother.
Abraham's school life was il
regular, for he was much needed
on the farm. In all, he attended
school hardly more than a year,
but he never let an opportunity slip
to read everything on which he
could lay his hands.
When he was about g, the fami-
1y moved to Illinois. There young
Lincoln took a position as clerk in
charge of a store In New Salem.
He then bought a little store but
was not successful; and he did
some Iand-surveying. For a time
he served as postmaster in New
Salem.
He was a tall, gawky-looking fell
low. Strangers felt, when they look
ed at him. This man is a clown"

NEEDS A WoMAN'S TOUCH

George Keen Of Durham, who was among
the little group Of boys assembled by
Colonel Walker Taylor in the Boys Brigade
fifty-one years ago, and who came TO
Wilmington 10 attend the reunion Of the
Old Brigade when the New Brigade, bet
fer known as the Senior Fraternity, was
collective host, did an unprecedented thing
at the Armory when he laid Sl00 on the
line 10 start a redecorating fund with
$1,000 set as the goal.
Mr.. Keen explained that he had noted
the need for repairs and had learned from
the Executive Director, James Copeland,
that if funds for the work were provided
by outside sources it would not affect the
Brigade's budget allowance from the Com
munity Chest. He knew no better way, he
said, Than TO raise The money, preferably
among Old Brigade members.
Immediately the job Of carrying the pro-
posal through was laid or the lap Of James
M. Hall, also Of the Old Brigade, a task
Mr.. Hall cheerfully undertook. He has
been heard 10 say that the $1,000 will be
forthcoming. Already he is known 10 be
calling on his fellow members, with mark
ed success.
But he is not satisfied merely 10 solicit
the necessary money. He wants the job 10
be done, not only thoroughly but artistical
ly as we'll. He has said that if The men
who would supervise the work went in
with a painter and carpenter, the effect
would not be what it could be if il had a
woman's touch. The need, he feels, is 10
make the Brigade Armory as homelike
as the building will permit. And so he
has issued an appeal 10 Wilmington's
skilled women inferior decorators TO lend
a hand in an advisory capacity.
Mr.. Kean's generosity is highly COM
mendable, and deeply appreciated, but
what counts even more is his loyalty 10
the memory Of Colonel Taylor and 10 the
organization which has survived in har-
monY and fellowship for more than half
a century. The Start he gave the redecorat-
ing Pre-, ect, backed by the enthusiastic
solicitation Of Mr.. Hall, will bear fruit.

A DANGEROUS DECISION

Judicious economy in government is de-
sirable, particularly after the years OF
waste under the Roosevelt regime. But
there certainly is no economy in the de-
cision of the joint Senate-House BudgefarY
Committee 10 include 81 ESQ, 0OO,0 900 in the
Presidents estimate Of the funds needed
for the armed forces in the $4,000, 900, 900
ii voted 10 lop from Mr.. Truman's budget
There could be times when such a cut in
military appropriations would be advis-
able, but not now with world peace still
unsettled and the predisposition for war,
a natural aftermath Of the terrible con-
flict so recently terminated, still preva-
lent in at least one nation. Senator Quincy
Of South Dakota put the case plainly when
he declared: II refuse 10 vote for anything
that will hamstring u armed forces
while the peace Of the world is unsettled"
Even Senator Taft Of Ohio, bitterest critic
Of the White House in Congress, vigorous
ly protested the decision, as any man with
the national security at heart should. And
Secretary of State Marshall, who is as IA
miliar with the military situation through
out the world and especially in the Ameri-
can zones Of occupation also was eminent
ly in the right when he told a press con-
ference that if the Army is denied funds
adequately 10 provide food for the popula-
lion Of Germany Austria, Korea and Japan
in this critical emergency, a practically
impossible" situation will be created tor
our troops, and our governments position
in its International commitments"
The fact is, as the Star previously
pointed out, that unless the United States
is prepared TO maintain adequate armed
forces wherever their service is needed
il will continue TO have its influence and
prestige lessened, when its power for
peace is most required.
II can only be hoped that when the
budget debate opens in both branches Of
Congress there will be enough level heads
TO argue the joint committee recommen-
dations down. There are many economies
that can be made in government, but any
sacrifice Of armed might at this time would
be foolish and extremely dangerous, moi
only 10 our W security but to the cause
Of peace in the world.
