PoIiticking Out Of Season

The political campaign ended several
weeks ago, but Governor Clement OF Ten
nessee doesn't seem to know it-that Is, II
one judges by his continuing wild talk about.
the Dixon Yates power contract.
] According to the Governor. in his re-
marks before the National Press Club. the
contract is nothing less than q dose Of
poison to the American political anatomy" :"
And he has gone on from there to praise
q cheap little soapbox slogan ('Nixon, Dixon
and Yates'')--a paraphrase Of New Deal
sloganeering las good and wholesome one
which properly implies that the Republican
administration has lowered the standards
of public morals In our country.
Perhaps irresponsible chatter Of this
sort is excusable in the heat Of the elec-
tiOneering, but 1t is hardly tolerable now.
Certainly, with the campaign over, the
American people have right to expect that
their highly placed officials men like Gov
ernor Clement VIII forget about politicking
long enough TO permit an honest appraisal
OF the actual meigs involved IA such much=

Reacts to old Reuctionury'

Long live "Old Reactionary"! His
latest suggestion of an "eye for an eye"
policy toward Communist nations may
replace night baseball as the national
paStime.
In modern times nations have run
the course from "appeasement" at
Munich to Hitler's preventive war"
against Russia-all without even tenn
porary success. This fresh approach,
however, gives promise of furnishing a
relatively cheap and soul-satisfying
means ofsco- existence for many. many
years: at least until we finally get to
the point of bomb for bomb"
At its inception we could give the
policy catchy phrase, such as "mi-
mute retaliation" gradually changing
the name to massive" as 1t spowballs.
Despite his obvious genius in creating
this plan, the "Old" one has invited
some ridicule by pointing to the ex-
ample set by our ancestors during the
War Of 1912; maintaining, as he does,
that they swept the British fleet off
the high seas" in their righteous anger
over impressment Of our seamen.
Undoubtedly the "Old' one knows the
true facts, even If he tried to kid him
self and others about them.
The British agreed to cease impress
ment even before our declaration of
war. Slow communications prevented
the news from arriving before Congress
had already acted. Even so, hostilities
were hardly under way, and appro-
pirate action could have been taken
to end the war had there been an
earnest desire to do so on our part
(e.g.. If impressment were really the
cause). Britain certainly wanted no
part in a fight with us, being well oc-
cupied on the European continent with
Napoleon.
This was the real cause Of the war:
Certain powerful northern pressure
groups wished to plant the Stars and
Stripes-forever-on Canadian soil and
thought we could get away with it be-
cause Of Britain's Napoleonic preoccu-

There are those who would reply: A
sense of the Divine comes as nowhere
else In the mystic spell Of natures sac
rament of beauty. But let ii be re-
membered that this is q world where
there is brutality as well as beauty;
this is a world where there are torna-
does as well as gentle zephyrs: there
Is forked lightning as well as fair
moonlight; there are vipers as wen as
violetS. In what we call nature we
find not only the rapturous trill Of q
lark singing its morning song at
Heavens gate. There is also the cruel
beak of the vulture and the frightful
teeth of the crocodile.

military example in prosecuting the war
as they did moral example in start
ing it. On land, the Canadians kicked
us out the moment we crossed their

the Great Lakes campaign. and despite
isolated victories at sea during the early
stages, the British navy shortly bottled
our fleet in port along the entire coast
