X The American Wav ++

Neither the United States, nor
any other country, has a man
date from God to make the
world over in its own image
or to dictate to other nations
how they should run their
affairs. Rulers and nations
have been trying this since the
beginning of time. And always,
in the end, they come to grief.
1t is this assertion of the
right of one nation to dictate
to another nation or people,
which is at the root of all the
major wars of the world. This
is what is known as imperial
ism. Every major war among
nations has Stemmed from the
assumption by one nation of
the right to seize or exploit
the people and resources of
another nation. Among the
nations of Europe and Asia,
there are few exceptions to
this sin of imperialism. Wheth-
er we now call them good"
or "bad" nations, at one time
or another they have all roam
ed the world in order to grab
the land, the resources and the
people of other countries and
exploit them for their own
purposes. Some of the worst
offenders have been the So
called greet "peace-loving" ma
tions of today, such as Eng

Coal strippers constantly repeat their
version about how their stripping operations
benefit communities Some time ago, R. L.
Ireland, who heads some of our local operat-
ors, said coal stripping was the same as deep,
contour plowing Now we have a news release
from the National Coal Association, of which
Mr. Ireland is director, with quotations on
the work of the Ohio Reclamation Associa-
ton.
The quote is in connection with the NAM

dent. Larry Cook, as chairman of the Nation

Advisory Committee.
Mr.. Cook Joined the Ohio Reclamation

sessions - that's your bust
ness. But keep out of this
hemisphere, and We'll keep out
of yours.
The strange part about this
is that it worked and it
worked during many long de-
cades when we had no tremen-
dous military establishment,
when our resources were not
yet fully developed, when our
population was small, and
when we were a relatively
weak nation compared with
the great powers of Europe.
Then we made the fatal mis-
take of permitting ourselves
to become embroiled in a Eur
opean quarrel. We went into
the First World War-and SOW
ed the seeds of the Second
World War and all that has
followed it. Now we are hook
ed up in a so-called world or
ganization - the United Ma
tions - supposedly to keep
the peace. But look at the ma
tions with whom we have
entangled ourselves in the
United Nations. They are those
same imperialist countries of
Europe and Asia whose activi-
ties have caused all the major
wars. Instead of keeping the
peace for the United States
which is all we can ever ex-
pect to do - we have guaran-
teed that wherever trouble
breaks out in the world, we
will be in it. Our only saliva
ton lies in a return to our
historic role: Friendly rela-
tions with all; entangling al
liances with none" And it
seems to me the first step is
to get out of the United Ma
tions and get the United Ma
tions out of the United States.

land and France and Spain
and even little Belgium and
Holland. Germany, Italy and
Japan were latecomers into
the company of the imperialist
grabbers. Russia under the
czars did her bit, and now,
under her communist leaders,
is attempting to replace Great
Britain as the big inperialist
power.
That is why it is impossible
for us "to keep world peace"
Always there will be those
ground under the heel of the
imperialist powers who want
to be free. And always the i'm
perialist powers themselves
will run headon into each other
in their efforts to grab more
or hold what they have.
The important point for US,
here in America, is that the
United States, alone among
the nations of the world, was
free of this taint of imperial
ism. We built here free ma
ton for free men. We had no
designs on any other part of
the world. And we said to the
constantly warning nations of
Europe and Asia = keep out!
We won't bother you you
have nothing that we want; go

wars over your inperialist pos

Is There A Santa Claus?

Is there Santa Claus? An American Santa
Claus?
Does some mysterious spirit grant gifts and
blessings to the people of the United States in which
most of the rest of the world does not share?
Here we have six per cent of the worlds popula-
tion. Yet produce two thirds of the worlds
factured goods We have jobs, good paying jobs
for nearly every able person who wants to work. We
carry more insurance than anybody; fewer people
each year need to look forward to destitute depend
ent old age. With fewer hours of work than any
where else, we can buy the necessities which make
us better fed, better clad and better housed.
Yes, there is American Santa Claus very
special Santa Claus from where these bountes flow.
But not mysterious Santa Claus. He is written into
the American Constitution.
The great fact of the individuals liberty is our
Santa Claus. Here, unhampered by governmental
tyrannies of ancient customs each person may work
where he pleases at the job he chooses and do he
likes after taxes with the money he earns. He may
speak, print and worship as he pleases.
The ideals of Christianity, and the idea of the
soul ITSELF link to the dignity of the individual person
Without liberty of choice, becomes subject of
compulsion and is deprived of his full natural dignity
Our American Santa Claus has thus grown out of
those same basic concepts of mans moral worth that
expressed by the Christ whose birth Christmas
celebrates They basic too in the seasons eternal
message: peace on Earth, Good Will toward men,"

him a clipping of the same item
from a Dallas newspaper.
The item relates how a wealth
er-worn iron fence sets off an
eight-foot square plot between an
oats and corn field on the AM
stutz farm south of Bluffton. The
Amstutz family has preserved
what is believed to be the grave
of a pioneer child who died on
the trek west in the early 1800's.
The family has felt that some
day relatives of the child may
seek it.

name of the person buried on the

site and hearing her father speak
of the deceased.

TRIMMING THE TREE

Christmas preparations follow
ed a cherished, familiar ritual
on Mountain View Farm. After
noon dinner, the day before
Christmas, a man and his son
took a hand axe and climbed the
upland pasture, went through the
sugar grove and into the ever
green woodlot above. The seven
foot spruce must be cylindrical
and well branched; it needed a
sturdy top spike to hold the
cleaning White Star which rep
resented Him who had come to
Earth to show the way to man.
After supper was over and the
kitchen redded up, Mother and
sisters went at the trimming. In
those long ago days when most
gifts were made and not pun
chased, even part of the tril
ing was homemade. Small sisters
strung long strings of white pop
corn and threaded strings of red
cranberries. OF course, there
were also the boughten decora-
tons that Mother kept in shoe
boxes on the top shelf on the
front hall closet. There were
fragile red metal-material balls;
long lines of silvery tinsel, huge
red paper bells that could be
folded flat when not in use.
