The country, and the campaign, will
both benefit If the President never opens
that brief case, never jots down note on
his cuff, never asks to find out what the
people not on Chesapeake Bay are up to
now. He should let the brief case lie
unopened while he concentrates on the
deck chair and such important things as
conversation about the fshnets, the herons
and the gulls, the quick dive of an osprey
and the excited breaking of a school of
rockfish. These-not brief cases-are the
things that restore man who is tired and
needs a shave, bring him back refreshed

Cruising on Chesapeake Boy

When he boarded the Williamsburg on
Friday the President, according to a
reporter, looked bit tired He needed a
shave and he carried a bulging brief case
But If he is like other Washingtonians
and an increasing number of city folk from
this part Of the country who find pleasure
in cruising on Chesapeake Bay, he will, by
this time, have fallen into a delightful
routine. The whiskers may or may not
have gone, for letting them grow Is one of
the delights of cruising. But the tired
lines will have begun to disappear, the
sun and the breeze will have touched his
countenance with youthful pink And the
brief case? One hopes that it lies where
he slowed it when>he got aboard ship.
For brief cases, documents, work-these
are not a part of cruising on the Bay
There are too many other things to do
and the hours are not enough to permit
of such distractions. The important thing
is to sit and stare, though staring may
become an imposition, readily removed by
closing ones eyes and letting nature take
its course. For the water is blue, the hazy
outline of the shore is restful, the throb
of the screw and the soothing hiss and
slosh of the moving hull tend to crowd
out other things-such as Governor Dewey,
the spy hearings, the Eightieth Congress,

walls of ruined Jerusalem were rebuilt by
toier-soldiers with trowels in one hand and
swords in the other. And as late as this
summer gardeners have been seen with hoes
in one hand and cans of poison spray in the
other for the pests which attack their growing
plants.
Without swords coerced men are compelled
to cry peace when there is no peace, and to
surrender the most heavenly things to the most
hellish forces. There is a sword bathed in
heaven. If swords are in the hands only OF
those who cannot be trusted with them, then
the only peace possible between the lion and
the lamb. which, it is prophesied, shall some
day lie down together, is for the lamb to lie
down inside the lion. There are present-day
appeasers of evil who would label that arrange
ment peace. But peace dictated by unethical
force is the peace Of slaves.

A nation must be strong to make its word

retreat because of the threatening blackman

ever our Nation, whose potential force is the
greatest, refuses to back to the hlt its belief

that, in our eyes, the prewar convention
