of foreign affairs, except perhaps
the danger of our past and present
policy in China. My impression is
that the people thoroughly ap-
prove of vigorous policy against
Communism, both in Europe and
in China, but that they question
the wisdom of gifts and loans to
European countries to support that
policy. At any rate, they hope that
the necessity for such spending
may rapidly come to an end.
There seems to be no ques-
tioning of the necessity of our
maintaining adequate armed
forces, particularly in the air,
regardless of expense.
L HAVE talked to many workmen
regarding the Taft Hartley Law.
I believe substantial number of
union members, and much higher
per cent of non-union workmen,
approve the law today as in their
interest. The rest have a preju-
dice against it, growing out of
labor newspaper propaganda, but
are unable to state what their OBJ
jections are. I believe most of them
are open to persuasion whenever
they can be reached by argument.
Nor do think that workmen are
by any means persuaded in favor
of the socialistic, planned econ
omy, "Handout State" principles,

grassroots movement, but one i'm

wingers employed by Mr.. Green

THE PROBLEM OF POVERTY
BY GEORGE PECK

| Our federal government has
been trying unsuccessfully tc
solve the problem of poverty. II
is really paradox that here ir
the worlds richest country, we
should have poverty problem
to solve. Nevertheless, such g
problem does exist and it is fool
ish to initiate the ostrich by
burying our heads in the sand
pretending to ignore it.
Here in this land of equal op-
portunity there are still some
people who are ill-housed, i'll
fed and poorly clothed. All de-
cent citizens have sincere SYM
pathy for these less fortunate
among us. But, we must not be
"pollyanna" in our efforts to cor
erect bad situation, lest in try
ing to effect cure, we only sue
ceed in making the patient
worse-perhaps in killing him.
Various schemes have been
proposed and some have been
adopted. Most of these have as
their bases the unsound idea of
taking away from the "Haves''
to give to the "Have-nots". This
is definitely an unwise proceed
ure for both classes, because bas-
ically there are tragic inequali-
ties in ability, just as people are
endowed with different degrees
of eyesight. Eye specialists and
opticians have done much to-
ward correcting visual defects.
But who would suggest that we
take eyesight from one who sees
well to give to one who sees not
so well. Such a process would
produce nation of blind people.
Government can solve the
problem of poverty at given
time, but only for a transitory
period, by methods which even
tually have always destroyed the
whole of society. These methods
consist of the forcible transfer
of capital from one group (the
great middle-class) to another
group (the poor). Such redistri-
button is based solely on the
needs of the poor, utterly dis
regarding their contribution to
society as a whole. History shows
that the ultimate result of this
temporary uplift of the poor is
to drag down all members of So
ciety including even the poor.
This method doesn't recognize
the basic cause of poverty. 1t
treats the symptoms rather than
getting at the cause. Karl Marx
mistakenly named poverty as
the outstanding symptom of the
machine age: He overlooked the
fact that poverty has existed
continuously throughout human
history, was prevalent long be-
fore the advent of the machine.
AS a matter of fact, today power

anyone who promises them free

So also with the farmers. The
idea that the Ohio farmer can be
bought by government handout
seems to me a complete fallacy.
His most definite thought is re-
sistance to production controls by
the Department of Agriculture,
telling him how many acres of
each crop he can plant, and how
many hogs, sheep and cattle he can
feed. ! think he does feel that he
is in weak position compared to
the average businessman and that
some government assistance is
needed to secure an equality of
position, through support prices
at some reasonable point below
which he would suffer loss, and
through government aid and advice
in selling the products of a more
efficient and abundant agriculture.
IN short, I do not detect any Slide
toward socialism" among Ohio
voters but rather a resentment
against governmental control and
taxation. The real danger is lack
of interest. Washington is too far
away and too many people feel
helpless to determine policy. In
the last election in Ohio more than
one-third of those who might have
voted failed to do so and I'm sure
that they and many others did not
realize the crucial issues between
Liberty and Socialism, which will
be finally determined by the votes
cast for President and Congress.
The most encouraging factor in
the situation was the great interest
and intelligent questions asked by
college students and high school
students.
My own job and that of others
concerned with the preservation
of Liberty and the American sys-
tenn is to, bring the issues directly
and forcefully to the people. That
is not an easy task and has not
been well done in the past. Even
when these issues are clearly
stated, it is difficult job to reach
those who show little or no interest.
If the issue is presented, I have
no doubt whatever that a great
majority of the people will desire
to go forward within the princi-
Piles of American government, of
Liberty and equal justice under
law, under which we have made
such extraordinary progress in the
last 160 years, rather than discard
that system for the regulations
and government controls of any
Handout State. |

THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

a
express appreciation for your cooperation during
the year just past in making the Journal, community
and everyone of YOU we couldn't get to first base In
The Publishers Auxiliary this week, there appears
editorial relative to the formula for writing week
ly stories 1t adequately expresses the sentiment of The
Journal staff as we get ready for new year
"The newcomer was talking about weekly newspaper
story forms He talking through his theories but he
almost making point.
"The trouble with stories written for Weekes by
weekly editors that they lack punch They rambe all
the place They get too fosy They forget the who
what when, where, why in the lead" 1t the DID, old
criticism.
1t continued, Compare the average weekly with the
dailies Stories with the stories off the wires The daes
stories tell you something fast They hit you hard with
ainclusve lead They don't treat every subject of every
story like long lost buddy either.
Let's admit it! Let's contest And let's be proud of it,
AS the editor of a community newspaper, you af
ford to loosen up little You consider the personal
elements with less regard the gets
the wires You tend bit toward the chronoo
gcal forgetting the traditional pyramidng of facts
many occasion.
If this be journalistic heresy, shame on u.s.
We think it merely points up the big difference between
weekly and big daily press The former afford to be
little human
We have in mind shooting incident few years ago
which weekly and daily know, covered fully and
adequately 1t was big news for both papers.
The daily did it with the usual "Joe Blanc, 35 is in
Bankvie hospital today suffering from three bullet
wounds which he said caused by pistol fired by
wife Mrs Blanc has been arrested by the Blank county
police" .ht.',
The weeklys lead, published day later ran: "Joe

resting comfortably The Journal went to press In
the meantime Sheriff Smer has arrested Ann Blanc
wife after her husband claimed she the who did
the shooting The Blancs have been the Justice
court three times within the past year charges of dis
orderly conduct"
Our point is this good weekly editors don't boil the
juice out of good story They for gravy and
they serve the news seasoned throughout each column
Good weekly editors afford the space most of
their good stories They being good editors only when
when they permit personal opinion to become part
seasoning
Much daily is written to formula There is no
formula for writing the for the weekly In fact
the only guide isgive the whole story don't edoriaze

NEW YORK
BY Glen Wilkinson

Cecil B. DeMille's Samson
and Delilah' has its premiere at
the Paramount and Rivoli thea
ters this week. It is one of the
most highly advertised movies
ever to come to New York.
Ethel Barrymore steals the
show in "The Red Danube,
which is currently showing at the
Capitol. She plays the role of a.
Catholic nun, Mother Auxilia.
The beginning of the picture is in
Rome and there are some excel
lent views of st. Peters and the
Vatican. Then the story goes to
Vienna and then back to Rome
and ends in Vienna. The view OF
st. Peters and the Piazza San
Pedro from the British officers
plane is excellent. The actual
plot of the picture is the unco-
opative Russians in Vienna. The
British officers are sent to Vien-
ma from Rome and are assigned
the duty of handling Russian
citizens in the British zone back
to the Russians. The officers are
billeted in the convent where
Mother Auxilia is Mother Super
ior. One of the British officers
falls in love with Russian girl
who is to be handed over to the
Russians but escapes and with
the help of Mother Auxilia, is
sent to a home of friends of hers
in southern Austria. The girl is
soon discovered by the Russians
and kills herself rather than be
sent back to Russia. Mother Aux
lila steals every scene she is in
the best scene in the picture is
when Mother Auxilia tricks the
British officer into taking her
with him on his plane to Rome
where she has an audience with
His Holiness, Pope Plus XII.
Supporting Miss Barrymore are

DEMOCRATIC TIME BOMB

Meantime, Democratic warlocks have a brickbat they are nursing for the first time Gabrielson sounds off on "big government spending. y
 The brickbat is the fact that one of his firms is heavy REC bor- rover.
 The Carthage Hydrocol Corp, which Gabrielson heads, has receiv- ed three REC loans totaling Sl8,- 500,000. The first loan, for S9,000,- OO0, was granted in April 1948. Sub- sequently, the company got two other loans of S3,5o0,O00 and $6,000,- GOO, the last in April of this year
 The transactions were perfectly legitimate. The corporation, witf offices in New York and Browns vile, Texas, is engaged in making gasoline from natural gas under a new process. Full-scale production is scheduled for November.
 Democrats will not attack the loans. But if and when Gabrielson assails Administration spending they are all set to counter that he is big beneficiary Of the spending.

POINTED HINT

Philippine President Elpidio Quir- ino got no definite promises of aid while in Washington, but he did take away with him a pointed hint
 It was that the U. s would look with favor on the liberation of several hundred imprisoned war time guerrillas who fought under American officers.
 The partisans fought yaliantly against the Japs. After the war, they were imprisoned on murder and other charges, made in many cases, by former collaborators now holding high Philippine office. Many of the alleged oftenses were
