Survey Finds People Must Keep
Informed for Better Democracy

congressman that we feel on the
issues that arise:
Obligation of People.
But to do those things intelli-
gently, so that we will have a
Congress acting most responsively
to the will of the people, means
we have a responsibility and OBJ
legation to be informed on as
many issues as possible.
How do they get we'll informed?
BY reading newspapers, maga-
zines, books, listening to the radio
watching television, discussing
events.
III turn that imposes, say, on
newspapers and radios an obli-
cation of doing a good job of in
forming their readers and listen
ers. This is so, since it's to their
own self-interest, or should be,
to help create an intelligently-
run democracy.
How well these sources of in
formation do their job will vary
OF course, from paper to paper and
from radio to radio. But-no
matter how we'll the information
is pumped out, there'd still be
people. and probably plenty of
them, who wouldn't read or listen.
Since they can't be forced to be
informed they'll remain a gap and
drawback in any efforts the rest
OF the population makes toward
shaping the best possible democ-
racy in our time.

Associated Press StcH Writer

Evidence keeps bobbing up to
show that lot of Americans
don't keep themselves informed.
This is a weight around the
necks of the rest of the people
who want better democracy. 1t
plays into the hands of those who
don't.
In a speech Wednesday Gordon
Dean, a member of the Atomic
Energy Commission, spoke of a
survey made by expert public
pulsetakers.
He said the survey, made in
December, three months after
President Truman announced an
atomic explosion in Russia, showed
rs per cent of the polled people
hadn't heard of it.
Brings Up Old Question.
This brings up the old question:
How do you get good democracy?
The ideal democracy is one in
which everyone is completely in
formed on every issue and every
one of voting age votes directly
on every law that's proposed.
But our society is not the ideal
democracy. 1t can't be. It's too
complex, with all the different
groups dependent on one another.
Producing those different things
and earning a living keep most
people too busy to be completely
informed on every issue and to
vote on every one. So we elect a
Congress to represent us and act
for us.
This doesn't mean we give the
531 members of Congress blank
check to do anything they please
for us, or to U.s..
We reserve the right IN tell o,,r

GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY DANGEROUS GOODWILL

Not all men of goodwill are to be trusted, for goodwill and sound judgment are not necessarily re- lated. Many reformers have been men and women of goodwill, but some of their reforms, like the Volstead Act, have caused great havoc.
 United World Federalists, Inc, and similar organizations consist of men and women of goodwill who hate war and love peace, who would have the world disarm and would form parliament of man. It all sounds wonderful and, really, it is difficult to oppose virtue.
 However, their proposals make no sense in the face of Soviet Russia's rejection of every step toward peace since Yalta. Since 1o45, Soviet Russia has been play ing war game, at which she has been altogether victorious, increas- ing her population of 8O0,0o0,OoO human beings. If there is to be world government Soviet Rus sia must be a member of it but not the conquering master of it Soviet Russia's vetoes at the Unit ed Nations have proved beyond question that country's attitude.
 These world federalists are quiet ly getting state legislatures to pass resolutions in favor of theil noble but fundamentally harmful proposals. Up to the present, res olutions of some nature have beer passed in Washington, Oregon, Cal ifornia, Colorado, Oklahoma, Miss ouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-R--A loss of $18,5O0,000 on its tin inven- tories was reported to Congress to- day by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
 The agency, which got into the tin business during the war ard still operates a shelter in Texas, blamed the loss on devaluation of European currencies and the re- sumption of free trading in the metal in London and Singapore.
 It said prices have dropped wit'.- in the past year from $1.O3 pound to 7042 cents.
 The report had one bright spot It said shipments of domestic ores largely from Alaska and Climax Colo, have increased over previoJs years.
