WHEN THE PEOPLE KNOW

Even the top political hackers of the Ad-
ministratiOn's compulsory health insurance
bill admit that it has no chance of gaining
Congressional apprOval-Or even serious
cOnsideratiOn-in the near future. And the
reason is that once the public was given the
facts, sentiment among the rank-and-file of
Americans sOlidiied against governments
controlled medicine, SOcialized medicine or
any variant scheme.
The medical fraternity naturally led in
the campaign to tell the nation the facts
Thousands of other grOups-including civic
organizations, labor unions, veterans or
ganiZatiOnS, and so On-voluntarily cooper
ated. The failure of sOcialzed medicine
plans in England and other countries was
described by recognized authorities on the
subject. The truth about standards of health
and medical care in this country was widely
publiciZed. The tremendous achievements of
free American medicine, existing and pOten-
tial, were explained. All concerned frankly
said that more progress is needed, and point
ed out how free medicine is gOirg about the
job of achieving it.
Of necessity, work of this kind must con-
tinue-the proponents of compulsory health
insurance and kindred ideas never give up.
If and when it looks as if they might slip
their schemes over on the country, they'll be
right Iii there pitching. But the big point is
that when the American people recognized
the seeds of socialism, they turn thumbs
down. They know that this country was
built on freedOnl-fOr the individual, for
the professions, for labor, and for enter.

"MENE, MEME, TEKEL,
UPHARSIN"

Over the past weekend the Taft
forces have settled a couple of
general" problems.
In reply to a question in a tele-
vision interview, Senator Taft re-
piled that he would certainly"
campaign for Eisenhower if the
General should get the Republican
nomination. Earlier. Taft had said
that he welcomes" the rivalry of
Governor Earl Warren of Califor-
MIA in the April 1st Wisconsin pri-
mary, and added: my only re-
gret is that General Eisenhower
hasn't decided to come into that
race" And perhaps millions of
other Americans regret it too. since
Wisconsin law requires the candi-
date to signify his consent to indi-
cate that he is actively i'm the race.
Increasing talk last week of a
boom to draft General Macarthur
appears to have been Debated by
friends of Senator Taft who say
that Taft has received personal as
surances of support from the Cen
eral. The Senator, they say, is
therefore not concerned over the

ATROCITIES IN KOREA

News of the murder of 5000 American
troops In Korea by Chinese Communists has
lifted veil from the eyes of the people.
The shameful slaughter of captured SOL
diers has at last underlined the barbarism
feat Yet, not long ago the Administration
launched a tremendous campaign to sell
Americans the idea that Chinese Commun-
lists were harmless, peasant refOrmers."
"They are not all like the Russian Com

to understand them"
Today we do understand. We understood
too well that the Administrations soft poll
cleS at Yalta and PotSdam have resulted in
the shameful butchery of 5000 American
fighting men. We understand that the foe
we oppose is the same treacherOus, brutal
uncivilized Communist that we find in Rus
sia, in East Europe, and here in our own
Nation.

HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS ON THE
INCREASE

Delaware citizens are shocked by the
heavy increase of deaths caused by highway
accidents during the past two weeks. Death
seems to ride the roads at all times. 1t is
noticeable that young drivers have been in
volved in many of the fatal and nOn-fatal
crashes in our State. This brings up the ques-
tiOn "Is the age for issuing drivers license
too lOw?" This question is being discussed
at meetings and gatherings in all parts of
the State. If the age is too young, then the
time to change it is at the next session of
our General Assembly. In the meantime, it
might be well to make complete study of
the driving habits of our youth. We see
cowboy" drivers every day as we pass over
our city streets and rural highways. 1t
seems to us that youngsters are not being
properly taught the dangers ever present in
the handling of an automobile
We do not believe that the employment
Of additional State highway police is the
answer. 1t would seem that the roads are
amply patrolled at the present time No mat
ter what the number of police officers on the
roads, they cannot be at every spot on the
highway at every minute of the day. This is
an impossible task, one that is beyond the
realm of possibility. Either the age limit for
the issuing of drivers license must be raised.
and raised considerably, or an educational
program which in some manner can impress
the youngsters with the seriousness of opera
ting an automobile must be devised. The
problem must be studied now.

BABSON PARK. Fla, February ga few years
ago, the Pacific Northwest suffering a most diff
cult readjusment Unprecedented wartime expan-
sion seemed likely to end in complete collapse I'm
employment had reached serious proportions. AC-
tive shipyards giant aircraft factories and war fab
ricating plants shut down.
In these weekly articles l seldom single out any
one section for specific mention. Our American econ
Omy is interrelated to great extent, that every
section is largely dependent on other sections How
ever, think that there is lesson for all sections
TO learn based upon the recent statistics and expeT
fences Of the Pacific Northwest
PREWAR SITUATION
Prior to 1940 the region almost entirely
dependent for its prosperity selling its raw mate
rlalS It's products were mostly shipped eastward in
a raw state for processing and distribution to more
profitable mass markets
Here was an important lumber district, but all its
lumber was shipped East in the raw state. Rich
northwest farm lands supplied a large part of Amer
icas fruit and grain but often at a loss. Copper
zinc, lead, silver, gold and antmOny were scOOped
from its mines and shipped elsewhere for refining
ahd iabricatng. Fishing, especially for salmon
was big business. BUT, MANUFACTURING IN
DUSTRIES WERE BADLY NEEDED FOR LASTING
STRENGTH.
WARTIME EXPERIENCE
Expansion for needs stimulated manufac
turing industries temporarily. Air craft factories
mushToomed overnight. fu-bown aluminium in

There were established peacetime products

Milford chronicle., 1952-02-29

dominate the campaign. On the positive side,
IS the kind of campaign which Senator Taft
has undertaken.
Taft is adapting the techniques which
were so successful in his Ohio battles to
the national stage. Naturally, he cannot
make every whistle-StOp and crossroads, as
he did within his own state. But he is get
ting around, he is letting himself be seen,
he is meeting people, and he is making
multitude of formal and informal talks. A
great many people disagree with the Taft
policies on this problem or that, but no one
can say he is not making those policies plain.
He is unequiVOcal and direct. He apparently
has endless physical and mental energy -
something which is all-impOrtant in an ac-
tive candidate, in the light of the grueling
18-hOur-a-day grind involved.
He is striking hardest at the Truman
Administration where he, and multitudeS of
others believe it most vulnerable on the
issues of taxation, governmental corruption
and foreign policy. He summed up his basic
stand in single paragraph in a Portland,
Oregon, speech, when he said, "There is only
one way in which we can win. That is by
an all-Out attack on the immortality of this
administration, and on the unlimited spend
ing and taxing and bureaucratic regulation
of the fair deal and on the disastrous for
eign policy which has led to Russian power
and unnecessary war" He also said, "Under
this administration there never will be a
reduction in either expenses or taxes, be-
cause it believes in spending for spending's
sake spending for political advantage, spend
ing for increased power" His view on for
eign policy was summed up in his recent
book, when he said, Fundamentally the ul-
innate purpose of our foreign policy must
be to protect the liberty of the people of the
U. S."
Mr. Taft has been particularly outspOken
on the Korean War. In his estimation, the
proper strategy was to blockade China, to
attack Chinese bases via the air, and to
back the Nationalist Chinese on FOrmOsa in
an invasion of Red China. Regardless of
differing views on what our Korean policy
should have been in the past or should be
in the present and future, it is obvious that
this war, with it's Stalemate, its heavy casu-
alties, and the seeming impOssibility of
achieving victory has angered and diSheart-
ened millions of Americans. When Taft hits
here, the political experts think, he is hitting
home to the people.
1t still remains to be seen what General
Eisenhower will do. In the meantime, some
of his warmest supporters are convinced
that he must return to this country and make
= his position clear we'll before nominating
time, if he is to have chance.

ed Portuguese Foreign Minister
PaulO Cunha, official host of the

In addition to the tremendous

given responsibility for supply and

statement from his Paris head

fashion in their jubilaticn over a
party victory in a special congress
sional election that brought out
80 per cent of the voters in the
