Man- kind still is at war—a cold war, representing a struggle Com- over two forms of government, Democracy vs. munism. We seek our support for our way of govern- ment by sending abroad to all nations in need all of food and other necessities we can spare, believing that by so doing these nations can become independent and strong and will follow the form of government that has made this country what it is today. The outcome is uncertain may have the answer. Yet Jong ago in the Christmas story: Ye By next Christmas we the lesson was written are all of one ancther. We are trying to make this creed live our lives, thinking not only of ourselves, but of those less fortunates across the way of fol lowing the star that shone on the shepherds as they watched their flocks on the Bethlehem hillside and in the morning led the wise men to the E inn in the town seas.

Governor Gruening and his hench- men have been indulging in throwing rocks at Seattle susiness and Seattle transportation Now the Gov- rnor comes up with a “deal” which he offered recently o the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Sommerce. In effect, the offer was: “We'll call off sur dogs if you will endorse statehood for While we all recognize that much | can be made in Seattle’s business a | relations with Alaska, we have slso recognized that the Governor’s quarrel with Seattle was based on poli- | tical and personal motives.

Certainly we will foot the bill : Commiphobia (Washington Post) Hysteria now and then becomes so extravagant as to result in a revelation of its own absurdity. Con- gressman McDonough of California has supplied this saving reductio in respect of the commiphobia which now so permeates the atmosphere on Capitol Hill. He 'S has introduced a bill intended, in his own terms, “to define Communism and to make the practice of Com- munism a treasonable act in the United States.” Mr. McDonough's proposal may well be considered but the ultimate in a series of circumventions aimed 1 at the Constitution’s splendidly clear clause on treason —that “treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on con- |k fession in open court.” That is, of course concept, born of the eighteenth century experience with attempts by the British crown to suppress as treasnable all criticism or dissent. It makes convic- tion of treason extremely difficult and may even be y said to go extravagantly far in risking the security of ¢ the state to safeguard the security of the individual Yet the Nation has survived this risk far more than a centurv and a half—and indeed has prospered from | the taking of it t We have countenanced, however, a debasement of this safeguard. We have allowed men to be stigmatized as disloyal when they could not be convicted of treason and we have charged men with | being security risks when we lacked the evidence to |call them traitors. Mr. McDonough's measure goes further. What constitutes “the practice of Com- munism” we do not profess to know: membership in the Communist Party, we surmise, or adherence to | the doctrines of Karl Marx. The offense, in any case, is a matter of political affiliation or belief—a very | different thing from an overt act. What the Congress- { man propeses to do is to take one of the steps that sts would take, in the unlikely event of sion to power in the United States, to de- prive us of our liberty. o e heard about the formed a ebraska, who auc committee to have American newsmen or businessmen ide on each French train as a U. benefit of the | S. representative and explain how They have | the food was collected people " of Hawaii e average of eight sugar for the FOR FRIENDSHIP They heard !
