building up economic strength and
upholding spiritual values.
This is the true basis of the
strength of the free world. Men
who know freedom in their daily
lives are willing to work for it and
fight for it.
A free country is one in which
people control the Government in
the interest of a better life for all.
In the words of the Declaration
of Independence, 1t is a country
in which government seeks to Sc
cure for its citizens life, libeIty
and the pursuit of happiness"
Not An Abstract Idea.
Freedom has never been an alb
stfact idea to us here in the
United States. 1t is real and con-
crete. 1t means not only political
and civil rights; it means much
more. 1t means society in which
each man has a fair chance. 1t
means an opportunity to do use
full work. 1t means the right to
an education. It means protec-
ton against economic hazards.
We have done lot in this colln-
try in the last few years to give
new meaning to this concept OF
freedom.
We have put our agriculture on
a stable basis, SO that farm life is
no longer a desperate struggle to
produce more and more crops for
less and less money.
We have brought new element
of democracy into our industrial
life through collective bargaining.
We have established basic
security against unemployment
and old age.
We have preserved and de-
veloped our natural resources for
the benefit of all.
These things have given mean
ing-a down to-earth meaning
to our concept of freedom.
There are some people who will
tell you that freedom is en-
dangered by farm programs, or
by the public development of ma
tural resources, or by social
security. Those people are wrong.
Such things bring justice and op-
portunity into our economic life.
They are the reason why our
country is stronger and more
prosperous today than it has ever
been before in our history.
People Must Vote.
If our people are healthy, we'll
educated. energetic, and confident
of the future, our country will be
able to accomplish the great tasks
ahead of it. So long as the peo-
pie of the United States know and
understand freedom in their daily
lives, our ability to defend it at
home and throughout the world
will never weaken.
If we are to enjoy and defend
our freedom at home, we must
exercise our right to vote. No
democracy will long remain effec-
tive If it's citizens do not take an
active part in government. Our
country is no exception.
And yet, in the last so years,
there has been a steady drop in
the percentage of eligible voters in
the United States who go to the
polls and vote on election day. 1t
is disturbing thing that only
about one out of three eligible
voters took the trouble to vote in
the last mid-term election in 1946.
Our friends who sent us the
Liberty Bell today, the people of
France, know how important it Is
to vote. In the last general cleo
tion, nearly 80 per cent of the
eligible voters of France went to
the polls.

duty-a serious patriotic duty. !

ers borrowed less from banks dur
ing 1949 than during 194S," says
w. T. Campbell, chairman of the
ABA. Agricultural Commission.
Reporting on the results of the
ninth survey of agricultural lend
ings, Mr.. Campbell noted that
there was a decrease in both the
number of new loans and the total
amount borrowed by American
farmers. This decline is particu-
larly healthy in view of the present
uncertainties and the slight drop
in farm income in 1949. 1t shows
that farmers and ranchers are
wisely avoiding excessive debt and
holding onto their reserves in case
of emergency. In addition, the
rapid rate of repayment on the
loans indicates the farmers de-
termination to keep the nations
agriculture financially sound" con-
cluded Mr.. Campbell.

Refrigerator Needs Checkup
After Busy Summer

If your refrigerator is like most,
it has been putting in a hot and
busy summer. The higher the
mercury goes, the longer and hard
er the compressor unit has to
work. To prolong the life of your
refrigerator, take tip from Miss
Louise r. Whitcomb, extension
home management specialist at
the University of Delaware, and
look at your compressor unit. If
it's covered with dust and dirt, the
chances are that the motor is
working overtime. A lot of dirt
makes it run longer-because the
little radiator behind the motor
isn't as efficient when it's dirty.
Clean out the dirt periodically

Last December, Lie told friend

Attlee and Bidault. But when he
was urged to see President Tru-

smiled.

ways keep a good watch on me-"
In this, Lie has one remotely
common interest with Senator Nc
Carthy. While he doesn't believe
there are Communists in the State
Department, he wonders why, Pres
ident Truman has made such a
clean sweep of his domestic cabinet
family, he has never brought much
change to the State Department.

a change.

CORNERSTONE. LAYER

Most Americans think of Trygve
Lie as a stout, laying
character, with a heavy Scandinav-
ian accent, who does something or
other at the United Nations.
This vagueness is partly Lies
fault. He has operated for four
years on the conviction that the
Secretary General of the U. N.
should keep out of controversy.
But he has changed in the last
few months. Lie is now display
ing some of the fire he used to
display when, at Is, he became a
local president of the Norwegian
Labor Party-or the kind of fire
he displays now on Long Island
tennis court when the score is six
games to six and he wants to
break the deadlock.
For, in these last months of his
five-year term as Secretary Gen.
eral, Lie is determined to break
the deadlock of the cold war. He
is throwing his old caution to the
winds. He doesn't care any more
whether he has the support of
the State Department.
Actually, he has lost it. Inside
fact is that the State Department
tried to sidetrack his mission to
Moscow.
AS a European, and especially as
ex-Premier of country with a
long border adjoining Russia, Lie
is fearfully worried. He thinks
the policy of both sides-name-
calling and arms building-will lead
to an eye-for -an-eye and bomb
fora bomb. And his strategy is
to try to knock together the heads
of what European delegates call
Lies Deux Grands '-''The Two
Bigs.'
For a long time he has been
working behind the scenes with
the skill of the best Washington
lobbyist. One day, he whisks the
Cuban delegate off to lunch at the
Lies Long Island home. Next day
he makes a private appointment
to meet a British or French dele
gate at the Manhattan headquart-
ers of u. N-where talks are more
unobserved than at or near Lake
Success.
And the next day, a Polish or
Ukrainian delegate for dinner
possibly mixing them with some
of the New York City officials in
talk about the headquarters build

home, or at private dinner, find
him a great surprise. He is not

able. He said he decided this
after having talked with the U. N.
