Ideas Not New

The idea Of housing for workers,
Of pensions and Of medical aid for
workers and their families in pri-
vate industry is nothing new. Many
progressive firms provide these
benefits for workers. However,
only upon the terms Of the settle
ment Of the latest steel strike has
a large nationwide industry - a
pillar in the NAM-recognized the
responsibility Of providing private
pensions for workers in lieu Of and
less the pensions provided by the
federal government.
This might be an issue for the
Republican party-an issue which
may halt the march toward that
welfare state" about which they
object. An issue ready made. al
though forced, and accepted by
big business.
Having lost consistently
through opposition and ''me-
tOOism," taking such a stand as
a party issue might be that
first step to which GabrieIsOn
refers to "find q more persuas-
i've answer to the question" Of
what the Republican party
stands for.
1t would be a bold, novel stand
for the COP and knock tradition
into a cooked hat. but it just might
capture the imagination Of the
American people.

Depression Feared

At any rate, whether private In
dustry willingly accepts the re-
sponsibility Of providing some Of
these benefits for workers, or gov
ernment is forced to provide them
all, the all-eneompassing thought
in the minds Of the masses Of the
people is the fear of a return to
the depression years OF the l9SOs
and to an INDECENT old age. Re
member, despite a period Of rel
ative prosperity, 10 million wage
earners are making $1,000 per year.

BABSON'S Christmas MESSAGE

BABSON PARK, Mass, Dec.
16-I have just returned from a
day spent walking the streets of
Boston looking for Christmas
presents. I suppose that the store
decorations and exhibits are
worthwhile, but somehow they
make me a little sad. Perhaps it
is just because I am getting old.
Certainly, tOday's Christmas ex-
citement does not give as much
joy to my grandchildren as the
much simpler Christmases gave
to me when I was boy. When

MAINTAINING FARM INCOME

One authority on certain phases of agri-
culture observes that, in the race between
our rapid population growth and more eff
clent food production, ga major opportun-
lty for maintaining farm income and at the
same time reducing the cost of food to con-
Sumers lies in growing more of the foods
which are in strongest demand" Our sup
ply Of agricultural land is relatively fixed.
AT the same time, we have a growing popu-
latlOn and high consumer incomes. This
normally would mean that land values would
steadily increase. However, great advances
IN technology, and increased productivity
and efficiency in the use of our land. have
more than offset the population gains. Con-
sequently the same authority says, can ap-
pralSal OF past trends. and a consideration of
demand characteristics of farm products.
suggest that increased emphasis on animal
agriculture would be one of the ways to help
stabilize farm income and land values" The
Dement'S OF animal agriculture from the point
OF view OF both producer and consumer, are
many First of all, people want more animal
products, such as meat and milk Livestock
OF one kind or another can be raised on either
a small or large scale in almost any section
OF the country Of top importance, soil build
ing and animal agriculture go hand in hand.
Improved grasses for live stock help hold
the soil in place. Animal manure returns to
the soil large proportion of the nutrients
that feed crops take from it. And alfalfa,
clover and the other legumes add nitrogen
and do much to maintain soil fertility A
substantial increase in our live stock pOpu-
latlOn is forecast for the future. It is high
ly desirable development.

IN WAshlMaToN

THE CONGRESSIONAL majority
achieved IN 1916 has been the
only major Republican party vic,
tory since the presidential election
Of 1928 when Mr.. Hoover was elect.
ed over al Smith. During the rest
Of the time there has been a Demo.
cratic administration in power in
Washington.
Traditionally the party out oi
power is in opposition to the pro.
gram Of the party in power. And
so the COP has been the opposi.
ton party until the Wendell Wilkie
and Governor Dewey campaigns,
when the issue became me too,
only We can do It better" But the
Republicans have lost on both is,
sues the issue Of opposition
and that Of ''me-tooism."
Again in the recent elections,
particularly in New York state,
the COP candidate, Sen. John
Foster Dulles. adopted a policy oi
vigorous opposition to the domesti
policies Of the Truman Fair Deal.
He lost.
Guy GabrielsOn, national Re-
publican chairman, now comes
forth with the challenge that
without the Republican party
and what Il stands for the ma
tiOn is doomed 10 destruction.
On top Of this the National AS
sOciatiOn Of Manufacturers, the
fOuntain-head Of COP cOntribu-
tiOns, pOOh-pOOhs the results Of
the New York election and
says: ''New York is not the
nation and New York voters
are not necessarily typical Of
current American opinion"
These are Gabrielson's words:
''h our party and what it stand.
for does not succeed in the elec
tons Of 1850 and 1852 there is very
little prospect that the American
republic, as we have known It, viii
continue to exist. The Republican
party is the only available agency
through which the American peo
pie can reverse this mad marcl
toward destruction.
Whether Gabrielson and the GOE
win in 1850 and 1852, depends upor
how accurately he gauges thl
thinking Of the masses Of thu
American people.
OF course, everyone who ha
faith in our government believes
that the United States republi,
will outlast the Republican party
and the Democratic party, too, fol
that matter. And il the Republican
or Democratic leaders accurately
measure the temper Of the people
in this nation they might find that
there is. a universal desire fol-
greater economic and social free.
dom-a desire born Of an innate
and natural craving for freedom
and human dignity as a result O.
a very real and recent human ex
perience with booms and busts
with unemployment and poverty
mixed with periods Of relativ,
prosperity.
Housing, health, social Sc
curity, tensions, minimum
wages, farm price supports,
cheap power, rural telephones,
aid to education, guarantees Of
bank depOsits-al these seem
to bolster that hankering for
greater economic and social
freedom. And they have come
from the federal government
only because they were avail
able from no other source.

Danger OF Expensive TOYS

Illustrating the imitation that is creeping over
the nation are the toys being exhibited in the store
windows. 1t was not many years ago when five
dollars would be the maximum which one would nav
for chd's toy. The average toy or game would
sell under one dollar To my great surprise 1 find
today many toys being sold for twenty dollars The
parents moreover are spending for gifts for their
adult friends prOpOrtiOnatey high figures In fact,
1 fear that the main difference between'a man and
a boy is the amount which he pays for his toys!
We should not forget however, that "as the twig
is bent, so the tree grows" This means that when
the child is started with such expensive TOYS he
will later demand prOpOrtiOnately expensive things
in clothes, motor cars, college education etc. as he
grows up This means that the father must have
more income; this encourages the labor union move
ment and all the industrial troubles that go there

Some Hopeful Signs
vicious infatOnary circle which could get be-
yond control may be started by these expensive
Christmas toys which we now give our children.
When boy, was perfectly satisfied with an orange
in the toe of my Christmas stocking with few
fifty cent toys and bag of hard candy Further
more these simple gifts may have meant as much
sacrifice to my parents as the expensive gifts of
today mean to modern parents Yet. I do not feel
that these shop windows may be gniting social
prairie fire which could develop into great inha-
tiOnary conlagration.
1t was not many years ago when. the week before
Christmas. many poor underfed children, raggedlv
dressed, could be seen peering into these store win
dows with envious eyes. Today see no such chill
dren This is a hopeful sign Not only are there
very few poor in this country today but the nations
health has greatly improved. We have bumper crops
and almost full employment. When 1 think of the
wonderful research work now being freely done
throughout the nation, feel that we all should
have merry, merry Christmas Let us show our
gratitude by giving a big Christmas present to our
charities and to our Church.

But it is not done. Tenure of

The other members OF the group
protect him by their silence. They
will even rally to his defense when
the principal brings charges of un-
professional conduct against him
when they know those charges are
just. Just why teachers do this
is a mystery. Every bad teacher
in the profession casts discredit

principal because the teacher will

Teachers are human beings and
it is only natural that there should
be a few misfits. These should be
attended to by a committee of
teachers and the principal Of the
school. That would work a cure
in most instances. The few this
would not reach would be the sick
ones and they should be allowed
time out for rest. A tired or sick
teacher should not be in charge
OF children. This Is something
the teachers themselves should
see to. It is their responsibility
toward the parents who entrust
their children to them.

Abuse in Classroom
By Angelo Potri

Teachers have a very grave re-
sponsibility upon their conscience.
Parents have provided them with
good salaries, good working condi-
tions, tenure Of Office and pensions,
privileges which many parents do
not enjoy. In return they expect
the teacher to be professionally
interested in their children, to
befriend and instruct and guide
them. Most teachers give this
service in full measure. The oc-
casional one does not either be-
cause he cannot or will not act
like a teacher.

Baritones with a special talent
for lieder singing are not so num-
erous that the recital given by
David Baker in the Phillips Gal
lery last night could be dismissed
as one Of many. Mr.. Baker was
able to provide a most enjoyable
evening for, aside from the ex-
cellence of his singing. the atmos-
phere was one of ease and relax
alton. The singer dispenses with
all effort, both vocally and IN MS
manner Of putting a song across,
and the audience quickly learned
it could Just sit back and take
pleasure in the performance.
The quality of Mr.. Bakers voice,
which is of exceptional sweetness
has a particular charm and, al
though little variety entered into
his presentation, its pleasant Ell
feet never grew tiresome. 1t Is a
well trained voice. except for a
slight unsteadiness, and Mr.. Ba-
ker wisely lets it be as it Is, with
out any striving for extra volume
or dramatic underscorlng. In
some respects, it might be likened
to an Irish tenor such as McCor-
mack's, yet the Irish Tilt is not
there but more Of the gentleness
and appeal.
The program was divided be-
tween songs in German and
French. with four folk songs in
English at the end. Not only was
Mr., Bakers pronunciation in
both foreign languages excellent
but he had the correctness OF
feeling for the styles to special
degree. Schubert's IAN die Musk"
and "Nacht und Traueme" suited
the lyric timbre Of his baritone
voice excellently, as did three
songs by Grieg. 1t might almost
be called a novelty to find four
of Reynaldo Hahn's songs repre-
senting q French group. But Mr..
Bakers singing of these not too
extraordinary numbers, enhanced
by his beautiful diction, made
them notable.

narrative of q monks love for q

that MIR. Baker brought out NOV

piano. Her accompaniment were

pianist formed an excellent en-
semble, in which Mr.. Bakers very
lovely but unchanging type Of de-
livery was set off by the skill
fully varied coloring Miss Howe
brought to her playing. Although
completely lacking in the spec
tacular, the recital exerted a
charm on the large audience,
which applauded each number
with enthusiasm.
