But they are doing con- siderably less than nothing to keep us out of it. As late as a month ago, it appeared that drastic, permament neutrality legislation was certain as a result of strong congressional sentiment backed by overwhelming and articulate pop- ular desire. Now the atmosphere suddenly has become little short of jingoistic. Con- gressional leacors and the administra- tion are ditching previous neutrality plans in favor of extending the rela- tively weak and supposedly “stopgap” gins to get an inaccurate picture of George Washington which keeps the tradition created by the Father of His Country from being a guiding light in modern affairs. To begin with he runs intg the tale of young George and the cherry tree which began as a fable, told to point the fact of Washington’s habit of telling the-truth, and wound up as a part of the juvenile American credo. With this as a foundation most of us think of Washington as a creature of fable rather than of fact. In our imaginations he takes on somewhat the same proportions as Paul Bunyan, the mythical logger whose great blue ox created the lakes in the northwest by making holes in the ground with its feet as it strode along. The result is to make of Washington a man whom few seek to emulate. His attainments are so magnificent that it is con- sidered almost treason to suggest that lesser men could follow his example. neutrality act now in effect. Theoretically responsible beer are hollering warnings Japanese, Others are bellowing that “freedom of the seas” must be pre- served at all costs. There's a great outcry on Capitol Hill in favor on the biggest of all Peacetime appropriations for army and navy. young men are willing to have their country sacrifice trade, profits, and neutrality rights to avoid the ravages of war. The old men, it ap- Yet a study of Washington’s career demonstrates clearly | Pt are that he had no virtues not now possessed by many men and that application of the principles which he espoused would be just as beneficial to the nation now as they were in his day. To understand Washington it is necessary to place him against his historic background. To judge him by current stand- ards would be unfair both to him and to the present generation. It must be understood, first, that Washington was a pio- neer. Virginia had been settled for nearly 200 years before Washington rose to fame, yet the country was wild and un- not. ‘The first statesman to challenge the is 78, the oldest of the senators, One of the chief fears that led the administration to feel that the neu- trality issue might well go over until after election was the belief that Sen- ator William E. Borah, a candidate for tial nomina: settled and he had savage Indians for neighbors. He lived close | Prot! to nature and learned from her. Early in life he formed the habit of taking counsel with his own soul and of following the dictates of his own mind and conscience. In the best sense of the word he was an individualist. He dared to think for him- self. Most dominant among Washington’s many virtues, how- ever, was that of courage, moral as well as physical. He not only dared to THINK for himself, he dared to ACT. Thus we find him, the richest man in America, not only using his moral influence to change the accepted order but tak- ing up arms in a revolution against it. His wealth did not keep him from having a sympathy with the aspirations of the mass of the people, even though most wealthy men were on the other | tee. side. We think of the revolution now as a foregone success from the beginning. It was no such thing, for there were many times when the colonists were on the verge of disaster. The story of Valley Forge proves that. And had the revolution failed Washington might have ended his life at the end of a length of English rope rather than as the chief founder of a nation which was destined within less than two centuries to be the greatest on the globe. George Washington was well educated for his time and to “book learning” he added the wisdom which came with keen ob- servation. But it is not their literary style which makes his state papers great. Their power lies in the depth of feeling, the sound observation and the sincere patriotism which so obviously lay behind them. In many ways Washington was less brilliant than some of his contemporaries. In politics he lacked the finesse of both Jefferson and Hamilton. In diplomacy he was not the equal of Benjamin Franklin. A score of men were more polished orators. But he had one faculty which made all of these men | ve look up to him. That was the quality of personal integrity, of moral bravery which caused him to look to principle rather than to policy. Washington had a fine mind but when things looked the darkest he did more than half his thinking with his backbone. He and his army of ragged, ill-kept men were not beaten because they simply REFUSED TO BE BEATEN. The father of his country knew calumny, deceit and treach- ery. His emotional experiences ran the gamut of life’s possi- ness ram Johnson of California, who an- nounced he would fight any abandon- SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 1986 Abo stots ERAMPLL OF QUALITY OF y LEADERSHIP (Bruce Catton in N.

And at the end he found his greatest pride in being al, Congr humble private citizen of the struggling nation which he had done so much to create. Had he wished he could have set up a kingdom in America, but he refused. He dared to dream of a land which would offer opportunity to all and where every man would be a king. It is given to few men to be so great-souled. Few can be so high-minded. But the goal is plainly ‘pointed out to us by America’s FIRST CITIZEN. There is nothing to keep us from TRYING to follow his example; from TRYING to place patriotism above self; from TRYING to let our backbone do at least a part of our national thinking. It’s Good Weather : To jubilant remarks of “fine weather,” heard on all sides as the mercury went above zero, one Bismarck cynic remarked: “We are getting to be poor judges of weather, just as we got to be poor judges of whiskey during prohibition days. We have sa ed the stage now when even a passably good day seems e.” There may be some truth in the witticism, but it is not entirely accurate. Bismarck residents who visited the Twin Cities and Chicago during the cold wave said they came back fto North Dakota to get warm, even though the thermometer was lower upon their return here than it had been in those places at any time during their stay.

Please ignore at the moment everything I have said about nervous ex- haustion, nerve weakness, nerve tonics, nerve food, neurasthenia, neurotics, nervous energy and nerve specialists, for I have some comments to make upon the baby specialist business, and it would be deplorable if you were to assume that I'm just an old crab spouting sarcasm and spleen for the joy of it. I'm not abating one jot or tittle what I have said about the neurotic hoax, but it is really difficult to tell some people anything. For instance, I know from your own testimony that a lot of you assume I am “agin” chiatrists, since I have no use for “nerve itake. A psychiatrist is a physician who limits his practice to the diagnosis and treatment of mental conditions. Goodness knows, there is plenty of work for such specialists. So don’t get patronizing with me. When I say “nerve specialist” I mean neurologist, not psychiatrist. To one with a knowl- edge of pevetoloey. and pathology a “‘nerve specialist” in the popular sense ‘ of the term is as ri ‘as a specialist in that tired feeling. If or when I am King of YankeeJahd all doctors holding themselves out as neu- rologists or nerve specialists had better duck. I like a joke as well as you do, but there is such a thing as carrying a joke too far. The A-M.A. carries this one too far when it “recognizes” as a legitimate specialty “neurology” but refuses to as a specialty private preventive medicine, plastic surgery, heart, gastro enterology, and other fields in which good physicians specialize in spite of the A-M.A. politicians who would discourage them. Medical ethics and tradition sanction the specialty of pediatrics, diseases of childhood, and as a large portion of the population remains in that cate- gory until voting age pediatrics makes an attractive field for pampered youths to enter in practice—young doctors who have indulgent mamas or rich aunts or mayhap a wife-who will support them for the five or ten years is takes to build Aa & practice. Yet the same medical ethics and tradition declines to '—but that’s your mis- . recognize a more logical and indeed more essential spe- , ity, namely, geriatrics, diseases of old age. Of course the medical profes- sion has an excellent reason for this strange discrimination; in fact, two rea- sons; first, the study of geriatrics is comparatively new, and therefore prob- ably should be condemned; and second, babies are easier to manage and much better paying patients.
