architects to have their plans
acted on promptly. To facilitate
this. the board called architects
to submit their plans at their
earliest stages. This is especially

architectural consultant in the
restoration Of Williamsburg, Va.

tect who was one of the archi-
tects OF the new State Depart.

A TEST FOR POLITICIANS

1t has been a traditional pas
time of politicians to feed the
public on promises. For decades
the platforms sounded more like
Utopia itself. Designed to catch
votes rather than abolish social
evils, the trick of promising was
cheap financially and morally.
Success justified the dishonesty.
The fact, however, is that you
cannot fool all of the people all
of the time not with the same
old trick The voter today is
more aware of the issues of the
day. Politics is at last becom-
ing a bread and butter matter
for millions-to say nothing of
life and liberty. If the Old trick
works mo more, what then?
The politician is quick to adj
Just. Already he has a substi-
tute. 'gThe voter wants certain
legislation" he says to himself.
Lets give it to him. But
I'll see that 1T lacks teeth for
enforcement. that TO money is
voted to carry it out, that the
right guy is put in Office to make
sure that the law stays dead on
the books"
For instance, one of the great
Commonwealths in our Union
recently passed some civil rights
legiSlatials True to the pattern.
this law was effectively emascu-
lated of any enforcement pro-
visions and then 5onlv Ave thouS-

and dollars appropriated to en-
tighten the inhabnants In
short, law was passed by the
legislators and then passed on
to the undertaken.
This is a sample of the new
trick, Again it is a cheap trick
financially and morally. But
the politician has new look
he is a liberal, he is in favor
Of progressive" legislation.
How long will the new trick
work? How many millions will
be fooled? It will work, it will
fool millions, unless a simpls
test is applied by these millions
before they vote:
/. Is this program or platform
real or fraud?
Read it carefully. Make Ger
tain it contains what you
want.
O. Is this program meant to be
enforced or is it just eyewash?
Look for enforcement machin-
cry. Judge if it is adequate.
8. Is the candidate for office a
fighter or a political under
taker?
Find out who is behind him
and whom will he server
This is one test not three.
The three parts must hang to-
gether-or you lose The test
has moral, too. He who wants
democracy to live does not cast
his vote uuon the water
