A well understood patriotism can lighten the intelligence of political leaders of all parties, and strengthen the will of the masses in the sense of | their civic responsibilities, which facilitates the} channeling of problems toward favorable solutions, as favorable as can be the results emerging from an} extreme crisis. ‘ Above all party considerations; disregarding purely personal interests, patriotism must impose on each individual who has representative value within society, procedures which even during the most severe crisis, may save the country from the consequences of extreme and sterile passions, thus | saving the institutions on which the republican SySs-| tem functions. It is necessary to know how to establish the difference between bitter party struggles which develop more or less traditional norms, and those crisis which, because they are accute and because the rhythm has been lost in the regular process of political activity, bring, or may bring people, at any moment, to confront situations of terrible violence, frequently with lapses of anarchy, with its sequel | of destruction and death. Naturally, to avert these great dangers, it is necessary that, in view of the national commotion, making almost superhuman efforts to impose wis- dom above obfuscation, serenity above passion, those who, because of their political position in the gov- ernment or in the opposition, have directive respon- sibilities, find the road to practical and patriotic solutions to the great problem being confronted. In this manner, thinking of the Fatherland and of its very high significance, any nation that, opening a parenthesis in its history, defends its destiny bring- ing about the miracle of a turn about that will take it away from the abyss and to zones of understand- ing, where the problems are of a more human and less hard nature, can save itself. Once a nation is out of that cross-road it will start to enjoy a new era of its existence and perhaps the past, loaded with experience, will serve to ap- pear in the future as a perennial red light that will point out the danger of the crisis, or as a green light indicating the road to success.

Flo- rida’s Junior Senator is just back from a political tour with Senator Stuart Symington to the West. He is head of the Senate Democratie Campaign Committee. His job is to keep an eye on all the Democratic Senatorial races. This gives him the status of an expert on matters touching on political balance and the relative strength of candidates | on a national level. | When he returned to Washing- | ton from Texas, he held a press | other things, he said he thought- California might go Democratic. “No doubt about Missouri,” he said. “And we have a chance of an up-| set in Idaho”. He was happy to re- port that the top Democratic lead- ers in: Texas were sure of their state. “And how can you disagree with them?” He also said we’s win in New York, Pennsylvania, may- be in Connecticut, with a good chance for Kentucky. About Florida? Im reasonable well satisfied that Florida will be| in the time,” he said. “Both Stevenson and Kefauver campaigned in Flo- rida; both have a lot of friends there. It will be no runaway, though.” Senator Smathers went on to say that he thought Sentor Hol- land would be a big help in win- ning back to the Democratic ticket those “conservative democrats” who voted last time for Eisenhow- er. “They are the ones Sentor Hol-} land is most influential with, more | than any other person,” he said. So many people have been say- ing that about Senator Holland since he listed the five reasons why | he is for Stevenson, that he is now on a spot. Stevenson has got to win in Florida, If he does, it will be a feather in Holland’s hat. If he does- n't, it will Hurt. And the Senator isn’t going to let that happen. So again we say: Be acreful about put- ting your money on President Ei-| senhower winning Florida. THE MAIL BOX — Lots of mail. Last week we heard from advertis- ing executive A, P. Phillips, Jr., Or- lando. He was compaining about taxes. ‘Among other interesting things, he said, “Take the $64,000) question. T-V shows have pointed up the fact that one is actually no better off to venture, much less win, the $64,000 top prize than he} is to take $32,000. The government tax man takes such a large per- centage of the difference that the chance, much less the possible gain, is not worth the try.” He’s right.
