NATIONAL REPRES th Avenue Bldz., Se 1411 THE BILL OF RIGH years ago December 15 of the Constitution text which can One hundred and fifty-si the Bill of Rights became a part of the United States. It is a short be read in a few minutes and no better use of a few minutes could be made today by an American than to read sgain the simple words which guarantee the erty we cherish. Here in a short space is affirmed the American doctrine that the state is made for man, and not man for the state; that the rights of a free people are superior to the powers of government. Here is the statement of our high regard for individual opinion and tha dignity of human life. The roots of the principle asserted in the Bill of Rights reach deep into history—into the Constitutions 1 adopted by other nations before our own Union was achieved, into the struggles of colonial and English history. Some of them may be found in the Magna Carta, signed by King John more than 700 years ago. Scme are older still. The stuggle for liberty under government is as old as government. The first true Bill of Rights, enacted in England in 1689, says in almost identical language some of the basic principles embodied in our own Bill a century later. Not so very long ago, most of western and south- ern Europe and most of the Pacific was still under the domination of Nazi and Japanese dictatorships which had abelished human rights throughout the territory olled ond made slaves of free peoples. Today that area of domination has been erased, but the battle is not over. Today the United States has assumed world leadership in a campaign to guarantee to the oppressed peoples of the world a sort of international Bill of Rights, and all of the resources and states- manship of this great country is dedicated to that end Men of Inquiring Mind (Cincinnati Enquirer) a great and important difference be- who would alter government in order to strengthen it, and those who would alter to destroy Both influences are abroad in the land today. The former is most valuable to the survival of democracy. The latter must be watched carefully. Sometimes it isn't easy to distinguish—but unless we so distinguish unless we encourage the one and discourage the other—our democratic system will be in danger.

The resulting flexi- bility has made America the strongest of nations; democracy the most successful form of government In recent years new forces have made them- selves felt. These would alter government so d cally that the fundamentals of democracy would be | destroyed. These forces are of two types. One is | fascist. The other is communistic. Both are danger- ous In attempting to discourage these destroying forces, however, we must not destroy also the strength- giving, health-building flexibility provided in the Con- | stitution We must not confuse true progressives with Fascists or Communisf That error would be t rror of accepting either of the major Men of ing mind constantly seek improve- ment. As a result of their restless natures, improve- ments have piled atop improvements in the United States. They make mistakes, of course.

In this the people have In shutting the door against dangerous and sub- versive ideologies, we must not close it against sound advances, either in government or in our economic life. In bearing down on Communists, we must not discourage or destroy our previous ability to move ahead with the times. We need not accept—nor have | we—every idea of every progressive. But in the past, progressives have been encouraged to advance their | plans and programs for study by the people. The good we've written into law: the bad, for the most part we've discarded. Let us study now, even more closely, new ideas. That's the only way we can be certain that America will continue to hold a dominant position in the world. No real, vibrant suggestion for basic advancement can be hidden for long under a bushel. But the men in whose minds such suggestions gencrate can be discouraged by government domination and persecu- tion. That was the course followed by Germany and taly. It is a highway along which America must never travel The Cry of the Children (New Yotk Times) of children at this moment are dying of . disease, cold and neglect. They need 1eed all the love and human interest that world leaders in their non-political moments can spare. What is their immediate future? The Interna- tional Children’s Emergency Fund in its report to the Economic and Social Councl the United Nations tells their story in two ways: (1) Rickets, stunted growth and development, bone tuberculosis because of diet deficiencies and infant mortality are shockingly cn the increase; (2) the flow of assistance to countries “can become large and sustained” only if nations, voluntary agencies and individuals “will give the Fund their generous support.” Implicit in the report was that if the Children’s Emergency Fund is to surviv, nations must do what must be done—give. | Almost from its inception this agencv has been crippled by lack of support. An estimated hundred million children are in urgent need of helv. It was originally hoped to reach at least twenty million of them in the first year of operations with $200,000,000 worth of milk, sic foods and medicines. That pro- posed budget was cut to a theoretical $70,000,000, the United States promising to contribute $40,000,000 if other nations came in with the balance. The present plight of the Fund is an international disgrace. In the words of Dr. Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil, President of the General Assembly, the agency's resources are “pitifully small”"—some $38,000,000, nearly one-third of it transferred from UNRRA. What Dr. Aranha failed to mention was that Brazil was prepared to contrjbute. Among the coun- tries undamaged by the war, both Brazil and Argen- tina supported the report apparently with their hearts and their words but not with critically needed moneys. And time is running out. The United States has made one small initial contribution of $15000,000 and the Millions slow starvati food, and they of fear is that our own promised balance of $25,000,000 will be shifted into “available funds” for general stop- gap aid instead of saving it for the Children’s Fund. | The U. N. has no choice but to respond to the cry of ! children everywhere, and answer that cry with enough food and enough money. | allowed | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPXRE— JUNEAU.
