Vital Role in Any War.
Spain has come into this con-

ciple because Of its vital role in
any future conflict between East
and West, part Of which is likely
to be fought on the continent of
Europe. If, for instance. the en-

with Congress. The strategy was
based on the belief they could be
more successful by concentrating
on local governing agencies
through powerful local interests
and so could weaken and perhaps
end rent control in this way.
But this grass roots" strategy
has not worked out exactly that
way. Rent control has demon

and this has kept local officials
from any pellmell abandonment as
had apparently been anticipated.
Six States Have Acted.
None of our larger cities, in
fact, has dropped rent control.
The biggest to de-control thus far
are Dallas and Oklahoma City,
with only four others above 100.-
900 population. Six States have
|acted. Texas and Nebraska abol-
ished rent control by act Of their
Legislatures, the latter over the
veto of the Governor. So has
Alabama, to become effective next
May. Rent control has ended in
Utah and Arizona through action
by local communities. Wisconsin
adopted a State law as substitute
for Federal control.
While there was somewhat Of .
rush Immediately after Congress
acted, this was mostly by smaller
communities. AS a matter Of fact,
Housing Expediter Tighe Wood
has done more de-controlling
through his Federal authority

This Changing World
Military Expediency VS.. Moral Principle
Point Raised In i. S. Spanish Policy

Spain for the retirement Of Allied
forces through it's territory, II
we cannot get something better,
namely, an outright alliance OF
Spain with the Atlantic Pact
powers which would permit the
Allied forces to defend the Pyre-
nees and retain the Iberian pen
insula as a base for counter at
tack.
Here is the question Of military
expediency virtually military
necessity. We require Spanish
bases and Spanish armed assis-
ance in any successful plan to
defend Western Europe.
Now what principle or principles
would be violated by our coming
to terms with the government OF
Generalissimo Franco? The an
swer briefly is: None.
Position Since 1916.
Before November, 1916, the
United States carried on normal
diplomatic relations with the
Spanish government. We main
tanned an embassy in Madrid at
the head of which was a full
fledged ambassador. In Novem-
ber, 1916, the United Nations,
under pressure from the Soviet
bloc, passed a resolution inaugu-
rating diplomatic boycott of the
Franco government. We abided
by this decision and have not
|receded from it.
The basic purpose Of that U. N
resolution, however, has been cir
cumvented, If not fatty violated
by various other members Of the
United Nations. leaving us virtu-
ally the only U. N. member-at
least a major one-which has
lived scrupulously up to it.
The U. N. diplomatic boycott
thus has been nullified in effect
though not in form, by others than
ourselves, while we continue not
Ollly W WltklllOlO OH dXlU1SSdOOx
from Madrid but also frustrate
American-Spanish commercial re-
lations which could result in q
healthy trade.
What is involved as an Offset
to the military expediency Of re-
newing close ties with Spain is
the prejudice or pride OF q small
group of men who fear consider
able loss Of face If they give In
now without gaining the purpose
for which the U. N. boycott was
begun, namely to oust General
isSimo Franco.
This fear of loss Of face is not
represented that way, Of course.
It is contended that Spain should
not be accepted into the commu-
nifty of nations because 1t violates
the principles Of religious free
dom, civil and legal rights and hu-
man dignity. These, 1t would be
understood, are not involved.

rallying their numbers to bring
pressure on Congfessmen now back
home in advance and to arouse
local interests friendly to them.
The campaign is two-fold: First
to starve the Office Of Housing Ex-
pediter, the Federal agency. Of ap-
propriations so as to cripple its
activity: second. OF course, to get
Congress to let rent control end
completely next June 80, when 1t

sion.
$500 Cut OF Staff.
Congress reduced appropriations
for the Housing Expediter's Once
from $26, 6,750, 900 recommended by
the Budget Bureau to $17.500, 900.
AS a result, Housing Expediter
Wood cut his staff Of about $500
all over the country by a fifth.
The appropriation reduction was
criticized so sharply by a number
Of Senators that the Senate ac-
cepted it on the understanding
that an additional appropriation
would be asked early next session
If it Is needed.
Such a request now Is contem-
plated. A rush Of business antici-
pated in Senate debate has ma
terialized, largely due. as expected,
to the tighter provisions on evic-
ton that require staff investiga-
tions by local offices, and the more
liberal provisions for requests
from landlords for rent increases.
The tactics Of the real estate
lobby are to prevent such an addi-
tional appropriation. The "gim-
mick" as he called it, was ex-

Suddenly something hit me from

Sitting up, half dazed, l saw out in
the gutter an overturned express
wagon and the grinning and al
most gloating visage of my seven
yearold nephew.

l want to! You ought to see me
steer the Buick all over town"
scoffed at the boast, but after
dinner we all went out for a drive
and Dickie proved beyond any
question his infallibility as a
steerer. Up and down hills, around
curves, in and out of traffic we
went, Dickie on his fathers lap,
steering with accuracy and full
confidence, because he knew that
behind his own little hands on the
wheel were the big, strong, sure
hands of his daddy.

G.adGe Roe9e4

CHANGING out the window this
morning l saw the bus pass on its
way to the Sanatorium, and it gave
me the same feeling of satisfaction
that'I always have when l see a
bus on the street. Even though it
only carries regular passengers to
the San and to the airport it does
give an urban air to the city.
Strangers coming into town and
seeing a bus on the street think,
We'll, this must be quite place.
l see they have a bus line"
1t is to be hoped that before
many weeks some arrangement
can be made to provide regular
schedule for the outlying streets,
especially during the winter for
school children.
I don't know whether Mr.. Gage
has ever considered it, and it may
be that there would not be enough
business at this time to warrant an
hourly schedule, but there is no
doubt in my mind that before many
years Seward will be big enough
city to have bus line.
This may be the least of our
needs, and one which can be pro-
vided only by private enterprise,
but it is something to look forward
to.

Infallibility, which is simply that
the head of the Church of Christ
is preserved from teaching error
in matters of faith or morals, due
to the special assistance of the
Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth.
The Pope may steer his own lit
tie express wagon with inaccuracy;
but when the occasion arises for
him to direct the motor car of
Gods revealed truths, the hands
of the Holy Ghost are behind his
on the wheel, to make certain that
the faithful are guided unerringly
in their beliefs.
From Peter to Plus XII there
have been 262 Popes, no one of
whom has defined a single dogma
which conflicted in any way with
the dogmatic definitions of any
other Pope.
To the Catholic, the dogma of
Papal Infallibility is clear, logical,
and essential to Church founded
by God for all men for all time.
