TRAGEDY OF HONEST SOCIALISTS
An honest Socialist in power finds himself
experiencing an intense inner strugge-the struggle
between loyalty to socialism and the realization
that individual incentive must be liberated if the
people are to enjoy maximum prosperity. There are
two possible Outcomes of such an inner struggle
within the heart of the honest SOcialist-either a
nervous breakdown or a desertiOn of Socialism.
Attlee and Cripps honest Socialists and so was
Bevin; but Bevin has died and Attlee and Cripps
have ended up with poor health approaching a
nervous breakdown. They will not, however, sur
render their Socialism, although they see only
collapse a dictatorship ahead
Mussolini was an aggressive Socialist in early
life: but as he rose to power he became an un-
disguised autOcrat He did not permit the faacies
of Socialism to ruin his health He switched to
personal autocracy and then went back to antiquity
to find an ethical sou unding name for it, calling it
"Fascsm" Hitler paid lip service 20 Socialism by
calling his autocracy National Socialism"
WHO WILL BE "BIG BROTHER"l
Britain's fourth Socialist leader, Aneurin Bevan
not to be confused with the late Ernest Bevn has
the demagOgue's appeal. the opportunsm and the
violent demeanor. This fits him to become the
English counterpart OF Mussoni or Hitler. Aneurin
Bevan recently deserted Attlee for motives which
some observers believe were to increase his own
power.
Straw polls and local elections foreshadow the
fall of the Attlee government. wonder whether
Attlee's successor will be able to proceed with
the present governmental machinery. Or will revO-
luton and dictatorship be the outcome of Britans
experiment with Socialism? AS for me, give me a
country with democratic capitalistc Government
like our own, that seeks workable compromise

who oppose the Administration on other is
sues are also in general agreement on this
though they are far from convinced that the
Administration has the kind of leadership
that is needed in time of world crisis, or
that its past and present foreign policy
makes cohesive sense. In any event, the
polls indicate that there is small chance of
the American people being lulled into COM
placeny by Soviet peace OvertureS, great as
the desire for a real and honest peace is.
One of the great questions is why the
Russians do not move in Europe now, while
the vast Army which Eisenhower is to conn.,
mand exists only in the blueprints. By 1858,
according to plan, Eisenhower will have go
finely trained and equipped divisions
enough, in his judgment to hold the Russian
hOrdes. Why should Russia wait-if she
means war-until a time when victory in
Europe would be incredibly costly and might
be impossible?
One answer, of course, is our A-bOmb
stockpile, which all believe is many times
the size of the SOviet's. Another answer
not nearly so often mentioned-is that Rus
sia may not be nearly so strong as many in
the West believe. There is great unrest in
the satellite states, and war might bring
this into open revolution. Her industrial
potential is growing, but it may be weaker
than we estimate. If the Kremlin leaders
feel-and there is evidence that they do
that war would destroy them and their sys-
TEN, this is as great an asset as the West
possesses.

TELLING QUESTIONS

1t is commonly said that the military
forces must be given all the money and ma
terialS they need. and that government econ
Omy must be confined to nOn-defense spend
ing. However, the military people have an
obligation to buy wisely, in no greater
amounts than is necessary, and to make ev-
cry dollar do full duty.
The other day Congressman John Phil
lips of California asked a number of very
telling questions. He said, "Was it neces-
sary for the Army to buy 680OO,00O can
openers, for 100000 men? Or 4,636,OOO
web belts? Or 100000 cans of paint, in
quarts and gallons, full year requirement,

Or buy 3,917,O00 pounds of black pepper in

QuartermaSter to buy 100000 pounds cf
OleO at 2512 cents just when the Depart
ment of Agriculture was selling 5,500.OOO
pounds of butter to Italy for Is cents? This
is the scare buying which the Administra-
tiOn charges the public, and it is cause of
imitation. Witness the jump in price of the
boots just mentioned, from $7.82 to $1,000
as result of this absurd buying
The American people are determined
that we shall be powerfully protected with
military force at home and elsewhere, and
they are prepared to pay the bill. At best,
that bill will be staggering. But if the money
is spent hastily, and demand is allowed to
unnecessarily outrun the supply, the bill
could be actually ruinOus both to the econ
omy and the national security, by causing
new and ever-greater waves of imitation.
We must have the strictest kind of econ
omy in nOn-defense spending. And we must
also see that the defense dollar is spent in
the right way

DR.. Miller stated that the mem

tractive salary schedule for the
teaching profession is an essential
first step toward the solving of the
problem. DR.. Miller added that the
State Board of Education is aware
that the level of instruction in our
public schools is directly related
to the caliber of the teaching per-
sOnnel and the adequacy of num-
hers to teach our boys and girls.
This action by the State Board of

Above all, DR.. Miller added. it is
necessary to have the support of
an aroused public opinion for the
establishment of a scale for all

capable people available.

Once again those old-fashioned
American virtues of perseverance,
hard work and patience are win
ners!
Once more these sterling virtues
have brought awards to American
boys participating in the annual
Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild mo-
del car competition. This year
marked the Guilds 21st anniver-
saTy.
Two of this years eight scholar
ship winners were boys who were
competing in the competition for
the sixth time. Five times they had
been selected regional winners and
had missed the national scholar
ship awards by close decisions. To-
day the money is in trust to as
sure their educational futures.
Cash awards and scholarships
are given generously to these young
craftsmen in their teens who ap-
ply their inherent skills and their
practical training to the creation
of automobile models which would
do justice to professional design
ers.
More impressive than the awards
is the fundamental character
traits displayed by these yOungs-
( ters who devote several hundred
hours of research and hard work
to making their models.
Among the thousands who COM
peted only comparative few could
be winners. But in a larger, less
tangible sense, they were all win

soon will be the mainstays of the

HEIGHT OF IMPROPRIETY

A writer who's business is to keep in
touch with national affairs has said, To-day
in Washington circles that formerly advO-
Gated Compulsory Health Insurance, it is
considered the height of impropriety even
to mention it," What has caused this rather
remarkable abOut-face in political circles
that keep their ears to the ground and their
eyes on the voter? The answer is obvious
The American people, taken as a whole, want
no part of SOcialiZed medicine, political med
lcine, or any kind of medicine that would be
under government domination. There is pow
erful evidence to support that statement
More than 1000 MISUNDERSTANDING
leading national groups which represent ag-
rlculture, labor, industry, the veterans, uni
VerSity women, and so On-have taken a
solid stand against Compulsory Health In
surance. The American Press, a mag
azine which is concerned with the problems
and activities and attitudes of weekly news
papers, reported that greater support was
shown for the American Medical AssOcia-
tons campaign to fight government medi-
cine than ever has been shown in any other
national campaign - including government
wartime campaignsw 1t is 2 noteworthy
fact that a great majority Of our newspa-
pers, rural and urban alike, nave strongly
opposed Compulsory Health Insurance. This
isn't because the American people believe
meQlclne is perfect. 1t is because they be-
ieve progress can best be made under the
present free system-and because they are
impressed with the immense strides forward
that have already been taken. Today, for
example, more than 72,OOO,OOO people are
enrolled in one or other of the Voluntary
Health Insurance systems. The number thus
covered jumped 20,000,000 in two years. We
are gradually solving the medical care prob
lem-and solving it without political COM
pulsion.
