However, the cur- rent crisis presents a situation| where, if they are sincere, they can put ‘heir previous ideas to work. In brief, Truman needs help and need: it badly.

They have; already started hatching a plan to help out their country—and Tru- man-—in regard to one of the most vital of all problems: Helping pros- pective soldiers to know what the shooting is all about. The Jaycees are working on a plan whereby they would invite draftees and prospective enlisted men around to a smoker where they would tell the new soldiers som¢ g about their own exper- iences in the late war, give them a few tips on how to get ahead in the Army or Navy, and? above all, help them to see the objectives behind the war—which can make this world a better place to live in. Te Jaycees mean business. And their approach makes sense. International Police Some of their leaders realize what some of the rest of us don't,' that wh en the police blow a whistle, they don’t then sit down in the police tion and hold a debate as to whether or not they should catch the murderer. Hitherto, that's wat the world has been doing every time a big nation starts murdering a small nation For years, the League of Nations and all the other peace organizations just blew a whistle and then debated But now, for the first time in the history of man, they have done something.

And I think Harry Truman deserves credit rather than blame when he recog- nized this fact. He could have waited for a Pearl Harbor, as FDR did. But the Kremlin, being a lot smarter than Hitler, probably would not have given us a Pearl Harbor until they were ready to make their blow so severe that it would have knocked us out alto- gether. DP and HST Mr. Truman happens to have given rather wide publicity to his | views about me; so that wherever [I go in any part of the world, folks seem to know of it and re- mind me of it. However, regard- less of personal feelings, he’s our President-—my President. And if some people feel he isn't a strong President, then it's up to us to help him and make him a little stronger. In brief, it's important for all of us to remember in this hour of crisis—including the writers of “Letters to the Editor"— that we can't abdicate our Amer- ican citizenship. And while T am not abdicating my right to point out Harry’s mis- takes, nevertheless, I hope in one or two future columns to make a small contribution as a citizen to Harry's tough job of keeping the American public informed as to some of the real issues behind this Korean crisis, ciency and to save money. Rather,! President Truman rearranged the Hoover recommendations so as to increase centralization and enhance the power of the Executive. Sen- ator George W. Malone of Nevada stated the case correctly when he said: “We have gone a fearful dis- tance on the road to centralization. ident, several of which have b come law, and offer wide divergen- cies from the original recommend- ations, particularly by eliminating all features of economy and the reduction of the Federal payroll. One of the effects of the Korean war and any other wars that may follow must be an enormous in- crease of the military expenditures. In the past, the government ex- panded both the military and civil clear and to those in charge of the races. have been greater but deficiency in hotel accommoda- | expenditures and increased taxes and the debt. Today there is no surplus wealth among the people for that. The first cut must be government civ- ilian expenditures, unless the stand- ard of living of our people is to be progressively lowered. There is no dodging this; it must be done one way or the other. The assumption that this war is a slight episode, to be brought to an end when and if we reach the 38th Parallel in Korea, is a prop- . agandistic falsehood that had bet- ter be scotched before it takes hold. This is a war—a war that will ultimately involve us on many fronts. If we succeed in pushi back the North Koreans, we shall have to push them into Manchuria and Siberia, if we are not to ‘e required to do some more ‘“polic~ ing” in Korea as soon as the Rus- sians please. The 38th Parallel Iwill not suffice. The liklihood is that once we get a breather in Korea, we shall jbe called upon to “police” French yIndo-China, and then' Ifan angd then Yugoslovia, and in time Tur- key and Greece and West Ger- many. In a word, if it is policing ithat we wish to do, we have picked ! for ourselves an enormous and costly beat. While it is true that the United | Naticns passed a resolution in- !structing us to do this “policing,” the United Nations is not putting up any of the money. That has to come out of the American tax- payer’s earnings. So we put up the men, the money, and the sup- plies. Yet, it is said that we are not at war. As long as our gov- ernment says that, there is no realistic approach to the problem. For realism must mean that if more money is spent on war, less can be available for the bureau- lcrats. 20th Cenfury Super Market jClosed all day Saturday—Derby Day 20th Century Super Market Clcsed all day Saturday—Derby Day 20th Century Super Market Closed all day Saturday—Derby Day 20th Century Super Market Closed all day Saturday—Derby Day | 3 Store Buiidings for Rent It seems to me that we have reached a point where the only!
