them first? 1t seems to me that Miss
Thompson's people of reason" stop
short of the ways and means of achiev-
ing disarmament. Anyone can easily
reason up to this point. Do these
people of reason propose that we lay
down our arms first in the face of an
enemy which has sworn to take us over
to a life of slavery? Do they propose
that we compromise with what we
know is wrong and place our children
st the feet of those who would destroy
their future?
Compromising hard-won freedoms.
running from a fight to uphold what
we know is right, has always been
shameful and cowardly act, and to my
way of thinking it always will be. We
will not start going forward until our
leaders face up to and recognize the
fact that stupid blunders starting with
the shameful recognition of Russia, and
continuing to this day. have put us in
our present position. The next logical
step is to set about to correct the mis-
takes. 1t isn't going to be easy, but
many of these people of reason" have
the peculiar idea there is some way to
avoid paying for our mistakes 1t seems
to me they have in mind to sell out
more of the future of our children and
let them pay for our lack of moral
courage in addition to paying the ma
tonal debt which politicians have built
up in buying votes and leading us down
the road to socialism. E.B.

The Vice President Makes Friends

Efforts have been made during several
administrations to expand the duties Of the
Vice President and to give the holder Of that
office more important voice in policy
making. In the present administration,
President Eisenhower appears to have found
formula for Vice President Nixon that is
proving effective and valuable. 1t is the
practice of having Mr.. Nixon travel as
sort of special representative of the Pres
ident authorized to talk on level of high
responsibility with leaders of foreign gov
ernments and their associates.
The good impression which Mr.. Nixon
makes during these travels was illustrated
first in his trip last year to Asia. 1t has
been evident again in the journey just
finished through Central America and the
Caribbean area, a region that is highly i'm
portant to US and that has been deeply
disturbed in recent months by internal
political crises and conflict between neigh
boring governments. The Vice President
took a good look at all of these problems,
talked realistically to some of the key polit-
ica figures and left behind him renewed
and improved determination on the part Of
the local government SpokeSmen to resolve
their area problems peaceably.
In turn, Mr.. Nixon has brought back to
this country an encouraging report on the
trade potential in most of the area visited.
He foreSees a new period Of political and
economic stability there and he feels that
private enterprise from our own country
should explore the investment and CONNER
cal opportunities more thoroughly. One OF
his warnings to the Central American au-
thoritieS, however, was that they could not
expect capital investment from the United
States unless the political and economic
environment is such as to assure protection
from unreasonable risk.
The Vice President is planning more
detailed report to the Nation soon. 1t prom
ises to be a constructive and Informative
one.

This and That

Surely. life ought to be something
else besides argument, disputation.
1t is our language. of course, that has
made argument the great indoor-out-
door sport it is,
The animals do not argue, except in
a way of speaking: they Just bow up
their backs, and spit at each other.
And there you are" says some one.
triumphantly. What do you call that
except arguing?"
The sooner the worrier can get over
arguing, even with himself, the better.
The calm and placid life is not for
every one. There are some natures
that do better with strife. The quar-
relsome, contentious man is that We/,
often, because he needs to be. Raising
his own blood pressure is essential.
Every family has at least one men,
ber, sometimes an old aunt who goes
around saying mean things. She is
generally. though secretly, despised. but
too often she fails to meet the Chris
tian charity she should receive, be-
cause her own way of life is really be-
yond her She is Just the helpless VIC
tim of her own self, and should receive
pity, not censure
The average person does not need
to quarrel to raise his blood pressure
He goes about his daily tasks, in
which argument plays necessary part.
as If he had two lifetimes in which
to live. and no doubt that is the way
1t should be, but at times he will find
that the arguments of the,daytime carry
over into the secret places Of the night.

Intercounty Belt Road
James 2. Galley.

John kenmulr states that he is posi-
tive 80 per cent of Maryland subur-
banites would favor the Intercounty
Belt Road" if poll were taken. am
equally positive that the figures he gives
would be exactly reversed.
Anyone who wishes to destroy what
is left of Washingtons few natural
beauty spots in favor of more automo-
biles and more gas fumes is certainly
to be pitied for his hopelessly material
istic point of view.
AS one of your correspondents pointed
out recently, the trouble with traffic
conditions in Washington is not that
there are not enough roads to bring
more cars into Washington, but that
more and more cars are dumped into
the city daily, thus aggravating the
very condition that causes all the
trouble.
1t is certainly the duty of Congress
to protect Rock Greek Park from de-
struction, and nothing can save it if
the Intercounty Belt Road is once built.
The land where this road is proposed
was given to the State of Maryland
under conditions which are now to be
violated Any Maryland residents who
love auto traffic that much should move
into the heart of the city, and not work
to destroy what was once the finest
suburb in the United States.
