Prince GEORGES Recreation

The Prince Georges County Recreation
Board, newly constituted agency, wants
to use $44, 900 of the taxpayers money.
Of this. 5000 is to be used for sal
aries. AS usual with politicians, salaries
come first.
There is no need for county board
to entertain children. I do not think
that it will be disputed that primary re-
sponsibility for recreation rests with the
parents. The Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts, and also the boys clubs, are
urgently in need of support from the
parents. These organizations form the
best sources of recreation away from
hcme.
At home, the recreation of the chill
dren would be greatly aided if the par
ents would obtain little play equip
ment. Very few homes have any equip
ment for the children. 1t is not the
cost that prevents the acquiring OF the
equipment.
Any recreation problems that the par
ents and voluntary organizations cannot
handle should be handled by the towns.

Conservatives Are Dumb
By Bruce borton

Billy Sunday, the evangelist. set the
words of his hymns to the ragtime music
OF the streets. They were sung with
gusto by his huge audiences.
When pious people protested Billy de-
manded: '"Why should the devil have
all the good tunes?"
Billy was wise in the psychology of
crowds; we conservatives are inclined to
be dumb. He knew that a popular tune
will get thousand times more people
than an opera aria. Too few of us have
learned that political argument, how
ever sound is lost unless it is clothed in
the right words.
The liberals" are so much more clever,
We denounce socialism; they call it
national planning.
We decry "socialized medicine; they
promise health insurance"
We rail at mounting debit they refer
to national investment"
We offer private enterprise" Stop 10
citizens on the street and ask, What is
private enterprise?" Four will give a
foggy answer. Five will say, Don't
know" One may sputter, That's the
idea that business is private matter;
government and labor should have moth
ing to say
We glorify the "capitalistic system"
But for two generations at least cartoon
lists have been representing the capital
list" as fat man with plug hat, slave
whip in his hand. terrified workers
trembling about his knees.
Now we are fighting the welfare state"
How silly! What could be kinder, more
comforting. more altogether beautiful
than welfare state-where every human
fear is abolished and every want full
filled? I should love it.
We ought to be pointing out that the
forces that create welfare state are not
static; they proceed inexorably toward
the police state; that you can't have
excessive state benefits without excessive
state controls, which finally shackle the
hands of industry and labor and para
lyze progress.
Recently I heard that remarkable
woman. Nine. v. L. Pandit of India.
make a fine speech. She, of course, did
the usual thing of rebuking American
"isolationists" (who want to keep the
United States out of foreign vars, but
little later in her speech said positively
that India is not going to get into any
one else's war. India will stand by and
let us and Russia fight it out. This, she
indicated prettily. is not "isolationism."
1t is detachment"
There is always a certain meanness
in the argument of conservatism" said
Emerson, coined with a certain superb
ority in it's fact"
In other words. the thinking of the
conservative is sound and good but he
can't seem to make it sound good

A Few Words for Our Time

In these days, amid the snarling winds of
doctrine and the angry crosscurrents of partisan
politics, when the heavens ring and shudder with
veritable bedlam of shrill charges and
countercharges, and when it is a kind of rarity
to come across anybody displaying an even
temper or sense of proportion and response
bility, the American people could do worse than
null over the following observation made by
William Penn in the year 1899: Passion is a
sort of fever in the mind. which ever leaves us
weaker than it found us. 1t, more than any
thing deprives us the use of our judgment;
for it raises a dust very hard to see through. 1t
may not unf1tly be termed the mob of the man,
that commits riot on reason"
The words seem singularly well suited to
the present state of national and world affairs.

Importance of Military Housing

The military public works bill reported by
the House Armed Services Committee gives
proper emphasis to the vital role of housing in
the national defense program. The Joint Chiefs
of Staff, following its recent inspection of Pacific
bases, called the attention of Congress to the
"disgraceful" conditions under which many of
our troops at key bases living. And General
Bradley has declared that our military strength
in the Pacific is seriously restricted by lack of
adequate quarters for the forces needed there.
The situation in Alaska is particularly bad, with
our bases there far under planned strength
because there is no shelter for the additional
Army and Air Force personnel waiting to be
transferred there
The public works measure merely authorizes
an extensive building program for our bases,
without providing any money for carrying out
the construction. But the action if approved
by Congress, would clear the way for use of
funds provided in the pending appropriations
bill. The Army and Air Force plan to devote at
least S100 million to housing and other construc
tion in Alaska. Once these quarters are ready,
the Army will be able to move to that outpost
a regimental combat team and three anti
aircraft battalions which have been marking
time in various States, pending solution of the
housing problem in the territory. And the Air
Force will be able to proceed with certain install
lations essential to our northern defenses Until
these reinforcements become a reality, Alaska
will remain our Achilles heel" as Governor
Gruening aptly describes it.

About Those Police Hot-Rods

In answer to the silly letter about
Police Hot Rods" I'd like to say that
the writer is very fortunate indeed tha.
he lives in country where, when he
hears police whistle, he is not afraid
that it is for him instead of somebody
else.
If his 4-month- old baby receives a
shock every time siren walls, it's too
bad. But know of countries (even
today where people receive more than
just shock every time the police
come around.
So why doesn't the writer smarter up
and quit complaining about such small
things? He lives in the greatest coun-
try on earth, and is protected by the
best police force in the world
