NATIONAL Fourth Avenue Bidg. = Wednesday, August 29, 1951 PARTY NAMES VS. PARTY AIMS Names, labels and trade-mafks can remain the same over long periods, while the things they identity | can change almost beyond recognition. A lady's dress | is still called just that—but the garment of the early 1900’s bears slight resemblance to women’s wear today. And how about automobiles? The sleek, streamlined cars of today show little family resemblance to their pre-World War I ancestors And so it has gone with our parties. We doubt that either the women’s clothing has undergone such complete change. The party name is no longer an indication of the ideals espoused by its spokesmen. Innumerable office- holders—elective and appointive—clothe their social- istic purposes in the respectable habilments of the major political automobile or party and its tradition This is no less true in Alaska. party mm number many who lean toward Marx rather than Jefferson. The Republican party has its “lib- erals"—Fabjan socialists whose activities must wring shudders from the shade of Alexander Hamilton. A political party should be more th&n a name or a label. It should represent a political philosophy and that philosophy should be a positive one which the members of the party can endorse and support. This is not true of either major political party today. Many Democrats are Democrats in name only. is true of the Repubicans. And many E Heof both parties vote the party ticket from “snd habit only, despite the fact that they The Democratic The Demoerdey - resulted in a Office during the Pearson’s to-people friendst Europe resulted Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) over Russia with messages and gifts to the Russian people has Leen favorable.

If any other waj better than balloons, fine. But I do maintain that as a nation we are doing almost nothing to get behind the Iron Curtain and show the Russian people that we are not what the Moscow propagan- dists say we are.” On Aug. 18, 1948, however, Pear- son indicated: “When this column suggested floating weather ball- oons into Russia from Germany with jpaganda messages and gifts attached which the weather bureau says is quite feasible, the army and air forces were most enthusiastic. but the State Department said no. Russia, they decreed, might be offended.” Pearson, however, did not take “no” for an answer. He continued his campaign until May 18, 1950, when he wrote: “The State De- pnnmepl under live-wire assistant Ed Barfett is re- -examining the matters A sincere effort is being made to put across the Acheson idea of ‘total diplomacy’.” Since then, Pearson has contin- ued to point out the need for rev- olutionary diplomacy, and the bal- loons geleased for Czechoslovakia this week may be the {first step in a long series of attempts to demonstrate behind the Iron Cur- tain America’s peaceful intentions.

To call it the Democratic party a misnomer. Such a confusion in political labels is unfortunate indeed, especially with the country going into a vital national election next year. It is to be hoped that this situation is recognized by the leaders of the parties involved, and that some solution can be work- ed out whereby the voters of the country, in 1 cast their ballots in such a way as to have them effective in securing the type of administration which will represent what the people want. In a short six months, candidates will be for office here in Alaska. Are these men to be elected on straight party tickets? Or will we, for a welcom hange, use our ballots to elect men according to a fair appraisal of their public worth? to look past the misleading labels and elect men of integrity and high principle—men who are strong enough to withstand the siren song of the socialist planners—and place service before self? for an ever-increasing countries, he is uch as filing ecsecceese of the | Will we be able | | san Francisco Bay, a tuna \kmpu] THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA AUGUST 29 L.
