A dictatorship that robs the youth

1t is not an emergency measure to
meet a sudden threat. 1t is a policy
to go on year after year, putting
generation after generation of Amer-
can boys in uniform or Imprisonment.
Such policy viii place the minds Of
young Americans under terrific pres

eight impressionable years between
Is and 26, the very age they should
be preparing for life's vocation with
which to build a greater America.
The future welfare of our great
nation and the strength Of our dem
ocratic way of life is dependent upon
our youth with convictions nurtured
in Christian homes, schools and
churches.
For this task, military training is
no substitute. Does anybody think
that the Army is the best place for
the physical, religious and moral
training of the American youth? That
is a strange doctrine for America. 1t
is a new idea for Amelica-but it is
not a new idea for the world This
idea was tried in Italy Mussolini said
that U. NJ. T. would give the youth
Of Italy the Stamp Of Nobility. We
ask if our young people should envy
the fate Of the Italian youth?
Hitler said that L. NJ. T. would give
each man ground for pride in his
citizenship. We ask what grounds for
pride are left to the cheated youth of
Germany. And we believe that L. NJ.
T. would be the ruin of our boys, too.
We heartily agree with General
Macarthur and other well-known
authorities that U. NJ. T. cannot be
constructive to eve, the People" and
that U. NJ. T. is contrary to the basic
principles upon which our nation was
founded and under which it has grown
to power.

What We Need


What this country needs is a ma
jointly of political office holders who
are not even distantly related to the
horse traders; whose uppermost
thoughts are not What is best to do
Pclitically?" but What is best for
mankind?" AS long as political ex-
ped!ency is put above the welfare Of
the ration CT state or community,
Wen never obtain many exceptional
rate men in public office.
Holding the loss Of patronage and
other political favors over an elected
representative is just another horse
trading tool.
Just what's the matter in letting
cne's conscience he his guide, with
out necessity Of pressures? What's
the matter in voting on a question in
a moral way?
These are just a few thoughts
brought on by few days activities
at the Maryland General Assembly.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1952-02-14

i Wisconsin newspaper expresses
this thought, If you want to know
the results of letting the government
take over every department Of your
lie, all you have to do is look AT an
Indian reservation, where there is
no opportunity and no hope for adj
vancement"
You have the same kind Of secur-
ity in jail Oh as a resident Of the
county poor farm.

Paragraph Opinions

Stoelworkers are demanding a
ggaIanteed minimum annual wage.
The plan would guarantee steelwork-
e@s about three-fourths OF their reg
ular pay whenever they are laid off
teca-se Of Ia2k Of work. It would con-
time as long as a year.
This is the point to which many
workers have come. They want some
body to support them, regardless Of
whether there is business or not. The
;dea is not to give an honest days
wolh for an honest days pay This
cradle to grave security, with no en-
pl-asia on a persons worthiness, is
product Of Roosevelt, and it has
been nurtured by Truman. In the final
analysis it will mean downfall for this
nation. Such philosophy is against
the laws Of God.
