SPRCIAL Sineged ioe it the ra Hine: LANDON’S WISE ADVICE Alfred M. Landon, Republican presi- dential nominee in 1936, calls on Ameri- cats to give united support to President Treman in his attempt to frame our foreign potiey, declaring that “the world is watch- ine net only what our President does, but how we support his foreign policy.” Mr. Landon decries “our emotional ap- preach to the problem of world peace and of Russia.” He says that the effort to work with Russia is not being made easier by the loose talk of people in the United States that “eventually we must fight Russia” or by others who insist “that all Russians are perfect and that all criticisms are fascist lies.” The five basic facts governing foreign affairs today, as listed by Mr. Landon, are: (1) A large part of the world hates the Russians; (2) A large part of the world fears Russia; (3) Russia fears the rest of the world; (4) A large part of the world wants American investments and American business connections for political as well as economic reasons; and, (5) Europe, for many centuries the center of the world, is in complete confusion because of our mili ary vietories and the lack of agreed peace policies among the Allies. The declaration of Mr. Landon is help- ul and should tend to create something like non-political unity among Americans in re- ward to foreign policies. Obviously, it is im- possible for any government to frame poli- eles to suit every individual and, conse- quently, we must be prepared to accept less than 100 percent satisfaction of our per- sonal wishes and desires. JAPS RETIRE; CHINESE ADVANCE The Chinese armies, we read in the are “battering” toward Liuchow, “hammering” at the gates of Wenchow press, and “lashing torward” generally. The process is explained by the stra- tewic withdrawal of Japanese forces into north China. Without discounting the stub- bornmness of the Chinese in continuing the war with Japan it is just as well not to ex- pect too much of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek’s forces just now. Hard work, early undertaken, be- comes easy The appreciation of your own does not require the depreciation of others. Good citizens support the church not because they are good but because it is sood, Cycle: Parmer works hard, gets rich and moves to town; city man works hard, gets rich and moves to country. Turn about is fair play. In commenting on the impasse in the Florida Legislature concerning reappor- tionment, The Citizen’s editorial writer used the Word “odious” in describing the deadlock comparatively. That’s the word Christopher Marlowe used. More appro- priate is the word “odorous”, used by Shakespeare in “Much Ado About Noth- ing.” However, the situation in the legis- lature is both odious as well as odorous, CAN'T UNDERSTAND UNCLE SAM “I can’t,understand how the govern- ment would do anything like that.” . Remarks of that import are frequent, because there are many things that we, the people, who constitute the government, can’t understand. Aside from Uncle Sam’s insistence on your paying him promptly when you owe him anything and his taking time to pay | you when he owes you anything, there are Many instance where he does not spend | his money with care and ‘circumspection. As has happened a good many times, par- ‘ticularly during this war, he has spent , | money when there was no need to spend it, as later developments have proved. We have seen instances of that locally, but no instance has caused so many ques- tions to be asked as the Navy’s construction of 158 units on the property acquired from the Johnson heirs. With so many Navy men having left town for the West Coast or elsewhere, we have been unable to understand the neces- sity of providing more housing accommoda- tions for Navy personnel. And now comes County Judge Raymond R. Lord, declaring that he has been informed by a man who is in a position to know that the local Navy personnel, as a result of so many Navy men leaving here since V-E Day, is no longer pressed for housing accommoda- tions. Another point that Judge Lord stressed has been the stopping of private enterprise by gévernment agencies from constructing substantial buildings while the government has continued to erect low-cost or tempo- rary buildings. Yes, there are many times when we can’t understand Uncle Sam. ee The best way to. keep government out of business is to keep business out of poli- tics. It’s still good advice: Save some of the extra money you are now getting; high wages soon are coming down. Furthermore there is no guarantee you will keep your present well-paying job after the war. SENATORS TALK IN ROME Three United States Senators, discuss- ing international affairs at a Red Cross club in Rome, Italy, in an “off-the-record manner”, seem to have stirred up some dis- cussion in Italy and some of those present, at least, left the meeting considering the likelihood of war between Russia and the Western Allies. Senator Wheeler, of Montana, ex- pressed the view that it was ridiculous for |: anyone to get the impression that a break between the United Nations was likely and avers that the touchy aspect of the discus- | sion arose from questions from the floor |‘ rather than from what the Senators said. Milton Bracker, New York Times cor- respondent, says that Senator Hawkes, of New Jersey, at one time asked the audi- ence, “How do you feel about finishing the job by fighting the Russians?” He adds that the query was theoretical, reflecting a question from the floor, rather than the senator’s thought, but the discussion reached precarious ground when the sena- tor asked for a show of hands. The incident apparently illustrates the dafiger of such congressional tours, espe- cially when loquacious congressmen insist on expressing their opinions abroad. The people of the United States know how to take their politicians, but a senator, ap- pearing in Italy, is often accepted as an important official, competent to state the policy of this country. One of the arts of life is to learn how to grow old gracefully; be your age! One reason why children are not per- fect is that they are the offspring of the children of a generation ago. ¢ BLAMED BY BOTH Because Prime Minister Churchill re- | cently sent a message to the Syrian Cabinet urging them “not to exaggerate atrocities” in connection with the recent French-Syr- ian outburst, some Moslem members sug- gest that he is getting ready to change sides in the dispute between Syria and Lebanon and France. It is a matter of record that General dé Gaulle and other Frefich leaders have been freely accusing the British Prime Minister of giving assistance to the Syrians and Leb- anese and that the French blame the Brit- ish for all the trouble that has occurred. Evidently, the Prime Minister pleases neither side, which suggests that he must be on fairly even ground, acini) = tsi ses ee ee te hh intended ttdntdtdntninddad “QUR GLORIOUS FOURTH” : Once again we hail our glorious Fourth, “A day we remember so well, , When our forefathers met, independence was signed And they rang the old Liberty Bell.
