The BIindgpot

Al national magazine recently
carried an article by a somewhat
disillusiOned citizen who had been
an unsuccessful candidate for his
state senate. In reviewing his eX-
perience, this man cited several
examples of what seemed to be the
total disinterest of the electorate in
state affairs.
He recalled that in public forums
and debates he and his opponent
were repeatedly asked questions
about their views on the out
standing national and world issues
Of the day. However, as he pointed
out, neither he nor his opponent
was running for an Office that was
in the least concerned with these
issues. They were running for the
state senate. But they were seldom
asked any questions having to do
with state affairs.
If his state-Or any other state
had achieved the last degree of
perfection in government, it might
possibly be understandable that the
people would raise no questions on
local problems. There would be no
local problems. But, as this was not
the case, it seemed odd to the sena-
tOrial candidate that the voters
should ask a man running for state
cdice where he stood on some Of
the more intricate questions of
foreign policy.
What these voters did not seem
to realize is that many decisions
which are made right in their own
state capitals can affect them just
as powerfully, for good or evil, as
most Of the decisions that are made
IN Washington.
Under our form of government
there are 48 states with very great
power. Even if the federal govern
men were directed with unfailing
wisdom and prudence, even if al
national and international problems
were resolved with marvellous skill
and resOurcefulness and if, too, AZ
Of the states were governed will
equally great ability, this could
mean very little to a citizen Of the
18th state. He might still be op
pressed with excessive taxes, orig
mating, not in the national capita
Tut i'm the state capital. He nigh
still be ground under the pressure
of oppressive, and meddlesome reg
ulation.
A perfectly governed nation
could not in the least mitigate tn
damaging effects of a badly govern
ed state And a perfect aWarenes
of national legislative issues cOult
not save a citizen from becoming
the victim of a reckless, ill-cOnsid
cred and injurious state enactment
Americans are being told all tn
time that they should know tn
names of their Congressman an
Senators. BY all means they should
But they should know as we'll tn
names in the state government
They are being told that the
should keep informed on the bi
issues Of the day. OF course the
should. But they should also kee
up with the seemingly smaller is
sues, the state and local issues, ths
may in the short and the long ru
affect them quite as much as Jh
problems that make bigger heaC
lines.
Appeals to the people to develC
a sharper focus, so they can 81
national issues more clearly, al
quite in order, but so is an appe
to them to get rid of that blinr
spot which is now preventing man
people from seeing state and loci
issues at all.

note. The Communist line, as re-
fiected in party newspapers in Brit
ain, France and Germany, Is that
Mr.. Truman won because he stole
Henry Wallace's thunder.
Laugh at Polltakers.
Therefore, the London Daily
Worker said, the winning Demo-
cratic vote "is proof of the mass
desire for peace and social prog
ress."
Most of the other British news
papers laughed at the discontinue
of polltakers, voiced relief that
Washington would not have to un-
dergo a changeover, and waxed al
most lyrical in praise Of Mr.. Tru-
mans personal fighting qualities.
From other European countries
came very similar expressions. Al
most everywhere, heavy stress was
laid on the idea Mr.. Truman stands
for world peace.
The right, left and center reached
this same conclusion from different
approaches.
Right Stresses Wallace Defeat.
The right stressed his anti-Com-
muniSt stand and the crushing de-
feat of Mr.. Wallace. The De Gaul-
list press of France found total Joy"
in what it termed mot a defeat but
rout in all its magnitude" Of
Kremlin supporters.
Italy's extreme left Socialist press
said, THE Americans voted for the
party that knew best how to present
itself as the defender of peace"
Middle-o -the-road Belgian and
Norwegian newspapers found satis-
faction in the assurance American
foreign policy will be stabilized;
that the movement from isolation
ism had been ratified by the people.
Socialist newspapers :. in most
countries attached great Importance
to labor's part in the Democratic
victory.
See "Victory of Common Man."
Berlin's papers said this may
we'll make possible a clearer polit-
ical line in the interests Of the
working population"
The phrase victory of the COM
mon man" cropped up often.
Government leaders hastened to
send their congratulations to Mr..
Truman.
In Eastern Europe there was Q
different tone. The small vote for
Mr.. Wallace created CONSERVATION
among people who had been told
the Progressive Party would make
q strong showing.
Citizens of Moscow asked, why
wasn't Wallace elected?"
Budapest newspapers, forestalling
similar questions, explained that
tens of millions" abstained from
voting because they were ''uninter-
ested, being aware that in conse-
quence of terror and fraud, Wallace
had no chance this time"
In Canada, Louis st. Laurent,
acting Prime Minister, pointed to
President Truman's victory as a
good reason why his own Liberal
government should be returned for
q fourth consecutive time.

BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Newspapers and radio commenta-

ehortled today as they related the
news Of President Truman's cleo
ton victory.
Almost unanimously they de-
clared the unexpected Democratic
Party victory means the uninter-
rupted continuation Of dollar aid
and all-out support of the anti
Communist Truman doctrine.
Above and beyond that the peo-
pie of Western Europe are getting
a new picture of the President as
a man. They are being told he
is going to out Roosevelt President

dent Roosevelt was the greatest
American to Europeans.

how, with little preparedness, family can avoid
lot of unhappiness.
When Johnny first came to Mildale school mot
real names, of oourse) he thought he might make
the basketball team, because probably the basket
wouldn't look fuzzy like the one at home.
When the public health nurse checked his eyes
at the suggestion of his teacher Johnnys sight as

found Johnny's eyes were badly in need of
attention:
His parents had put aside money for health
emergency. They were able to give Johnny medi:

today year later, he's the star of the team!
