Today the intelligent individual
wants a definition of terms to
clear away the smog of lies, half
truths, aud Snears from a world
filled with conflicting political
ideas.
On the basis of professional
study and the experience of 20
years in the field of American
civilization and politics, it is the
intent of this article to try to de-
fine some political terms commonly
used and, more often, miSused by
the public. Firmly convinced of
the truth of Thomas JefferSon'S
statement that the best safeguard
of a democracy is a well-informed
public, this writer believes that
the vast majority of Americans
can make their own decisions
without coercion or scare tactics
once they have been given the
necessary information.
In defining political words, the
only possible method is to use a
consensus of the thinking of nu-
merous political leaders, students
of politics, and other professionals.
No one of intelligence would place
his life in the hands Of an anna
teur psychiatriSt. At best, these
definitions provide only minimal
information and are based on an
American point of view. Entire
books have been written on each
one The intent here is merely
to provide a working basis with
the hope that those who are in
interested will read further about
at least some of the terms. In
the discussion of them, a diction-
ary-type definition will be given
first; some explanatory material
as objective in nature as possible
will follow. No solutions are of
fered to some OF the questions
raised as this is not the purpose
Of the article.

There are some fundamental

make blaring headlines.
This Is the major change: the
new Administration is moving to-

It is to President Kennedy's
credit that he is able to make an
important turnabout without dis
rupting the economy. Instead he
is doing exactly what he promised
in the 1860 campaign-he is help
