world yesterday as the Nation
celebrated its 82nd annual Me-
mortal Day-a custom begun after
the Civil War for those who died
in defense of their country.
The Memorial Day exercises
brought to a climax the programs
of Memorial Day which also pro-
vided long weekend holiday for
thousands of Government workers.
Many of them took annual leave
Monday to enjoy an unbroken
four-day week end with their fam
lilies out of town. Trains, buses
and airlineS were crowded yester-
day and last night with week.
enders hurrying back to report at
their desks today.
At Arlington Cemetery, where
a simple wreath of green palms
tied with a roseatte of red, white
and blue ribbons, was laid at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for
President Truman, more than
5000 persons crowded the Amphi-
theater to hear Gen. George c.
Marshall.
The former Secretary of State
and World War II chief of staff
strongly backed continued United
States cooperation with the
United Nations.
PrecariouS Balance.
"Some have suggested that the
United States should take the
lead in dissolving. the United Ma
tions and setting up a new or
ganization composed only Of like
minded nations" he told the serv-
ices sponsored by the GAR Me-
mortal Day Corp. in cooperation
with veterans groups.
Gen. Marshall, now president OF
the American Red Cross. expressed
the view that ''it would be un-
fortunate for the peace of the
world deliberately to upset the
precarious equilibrium that now
exists" While Gen. Marshall did
not mention the former President
by name, the speaker apparently
had Herbert Hoover's recent sug-
gestion for a new U. N. without
Russia in mind.
$50 long as there is a forum for
open discussion of international
disputes, the United States should
be a participant" Gen. Marshall
declared. 80 long as there re-
mains a conference table around
which the nations can gather, the
United States should be the first
to attend and the last to retire."
Ideas Penetrate.
Gen. Marshall said that while
the U. N. is an imperfect organiza-
ton. 80 long as this forum re-
mains open, there are cracks in
the iron curtain through which
some of our ideas will penetrate.
He noted that the U. N. is a forum
where words can be used instead
of bullets"
The architect of the Marshall
Plan also made a fresh plea for
aid to the down -trodden of the
world who have long suffered in
poverty and misrule." He declared
that "self-lnterest demands that
We give close attention to these
people, for their situation is the
seedbed for either one of two ways
of life-democracy or commu-
nism."
But material assistance alone
is not sufficient, he continued,
THE most important thing for
the world today, in my opinion,
is spiritual regeneration which
would restore a feeling of good
faith and goodwill among men
generally"
With President Truman cruis-
ing the Potomac aboard the presi-
dental yacht Williamsburg yes
terday, his wreath was placed at
the foot of the tomb by Capt.
Adam Eisenhauer, U. S. A., q
White House aide.
The brief, simple ceremony was
held promptly at II am. and was
followed by the moving bugle call

Before attempting an evolution of

of a foreign enemy bent on the

Then there is that prize argument
of an absolute antagonism and an
inconsistency between security and
freedom; that we can't have the
former without sacrificing the latter.

CHANGING TIMES

Feudalis m characterized by a
special system of ownership by the
few and administration by personal
laws, so long the English way, was
doomed by a combination of forces
developed in England and on the
continent.
Among these was a strong church
challenging the absolute power of
the rulers, the spread of general edu-
cation, the growth of humanitarian
ideals, and the increase in trade which
resulted in the rise of cities.
The development of trade and the
rise of cities, were, alone, sufficient
evidence that new way of life was
approaching. But in addition, and as
a result of these latter two develop
ments, a powerful new class was
emerging; a merchant class which
was destined to hurry the end of
Feudalism and to give impetus to
change.
The merchant class were the pro-
ducers and distributors of goods.
Because they could produce more
goods and make them available to
more people they grew rapidly in
power, influence, and numbers.
The time came when this new class
could lay claim to some of the power
formerly held by the landed aristoc-
racy-a political power they sorely
needed.
In their bid for political influ-
snce, recognition, and power, the en-

dominant system. Capitalism won out
because of what it did in the pro-
duction and distribution of goods and
because of what its supporters ad-
vocated to the benefit of the people.
Capitalism n d it's supporters
proved to be profound influence in
the making of history. Not only did
capitalism produce more goods avail
able to more people; it promoted
science, education, medicine, and bet
ter living conditions. Of equal i'm
portance was. the support given by
the new capitalist class to equality,
freedom, and political democracy.
The fact that this new class later
turned its back on much that it ad-
vocated in its contest with the landed
aristocracy is not the point. The fact
remains that while these early vendors
OF goods and employers of shop
workers were immeasurably better
situated than workers, the serfs, and
free-tenants, they themselves were |
struggling to free the country from
the iron grip of the landed aristoc-
racy. 1t is therefore natural they
should stand for more equality, and
more distribution of political say so.
Now when Feudalism with it's ad-
by individual law was
passing out and the new form of
government, administered by public
law, was taking its place, it is ma
tural that the capitalists should be-
come the most influential class. They
were the best educated, the best or
and above all, they had at
their disposal the jobs the workers
needed in order to live. =
That they needed this special in
Fluence became evident at once. They
soon found it economically i'm

The Attack On Security


and agitation among workers. No1
could the workers retaliate by elect
ing officers more friendly, for they
had not yet obtained the right to
vote and their voice was weak.
But some things worked to the
advantage of workers, farmers and
the common people. Some great demo-
cratic principles enunciated in the
Magma Charta, the Bill of Rights, and
other state DOCUMENTS still prevailed.
Education became more general, and
discomfort could not be stopped The
peoples natural hunger for security
and freedom did not subside, but
instead increased. They were restless
and eager for the better life.
Since the brute force of the landed
was out and even the force
of law made and administered by the
new aristocracy did not suffice to
keep the people content, new methods
of control had to be devised.
AS consequence, long before the
workers gained the right to vote,
to strike, and to organize, the new
techniques of control were being
worked out. AS workers gained ad-
rights, these more refined,
and more scientifically administered.
AS already indicated the time had |
arrived when less of force and more
was the wiser course to
'ollow. How to dissuade the people

liberty at pace likely to upset the
