MONOGRAPH | Dear Readers: ‘x| : A good policy for all is to remem- “| ber your friends and forget your ene- “| mies;,but some, enemies want to force “| you nat to disregard them. : THE ORACLE. _——— “MOST AMAZING” IS RIGHT ELEM EL Senator Arthur H, ‘Vandenberg re- " cently ‘ealled ‘attention to the “most amaz- ing anti-American villification which ever : belabored: the ears.of the world,” refer- ring to. the propaganda that the Comniun- + ists are-putting out against this country in e Europe. oe We are galled Fascists, says the Sena- Z tor, although .we maintain free speech, ". free assemblage and free votes even for F, those, who -revile us. We are called eco- ~ nomic imperialists although we lend-leas- ¥ ed fabulots billions to our allies, asked £ not one penny of reparations, voluntarily + relinquished all “war booty” and made “. vast and usually doubtful loans to former = allies in view of their desperate condition. 2 Continuing, the Senator pointed out << that we are called “warmongers” al- z though we demobilized our war strength .. faster than any other major country and, ». despite possession of the atomic bomb, * are begging the world to join in conclu- = sively outlawing atomic warfare every- ro where forever. ve Thé ‘fiyial touch to the Senator's an- “ alysis of the Russian propaganda cam- ™. paign is: “We are curiously called ’Hitler- ™ ites’ by critics who seem to forget that = they, not we, were once in communion ¢ With him.” by ei Se = : “FORMER COWHAND” bi In amouncing winner of a $25,000 ry ", competition for a symphony, the newspa- ™ per writers refer to Leroy Robertson as a e~ “former Utah cowhand.” This js interesting and may stimulate ~ something of a trek to the pastures, but “. analysis reveals that there is little to the *, appelation. Mr. Robertson is a fifty-one- *, yéar-old professor of music in Utah and Ny has been on the staff of Brigham Young * University since 1925, when he was only twenty-nine years of age. Presumably, he must have spent some of his earlier years =* inthe purguit of the training which fitted him for a university professorship. hs This leaves very few years for work *. as a “cowhand” and, it seems to us, makes > rather silly the appelation used by the sen- « sation-loving journalists, _ A weak brain cannot withstand the bs impact of truth, = " The willingness of politicians to ac- ~_ cept expediency as a substitute for princi- ples is the stock in trade of pressure groups, ss eS ne “CHAPERON” The Associated Press relays to The Citizen an item, under a Springfield, Mass., date line, that is not only clever and humorous but also contains good ad- vice in concise. form. The Springfield Hotel Association is given as the source of the item: “Chaperon your let them go out alone.” Of course, it is understood that the advice is applied to lighted cigarettes, dangerous indeed if they are allowed to “go out.along.” Many fires have been caused and some lives. lost by cigarettes. A few days ago the Associated Press sent out a story about a bridegroom of 14 hours who went to sleep with a lighted cigarette cigarettes. Don’t |in his hand and lost his life by the fire caused by the burning cigarette. But a great many more things in life, besides cigarettes, need “chaperoning”’’. Blessed is the man who is able to ‘“chap- erone” his temper, and he is thriced bless- ed if he “chaperons” his tongue when he is tempted to spread a rumor or to malign his fellowman. : If your ear is ready to listen to gossip, keep your tongue from sounding it into someboqy’s else ear. Some of us are so constituted that if we hear something good | about a man, we do not repeat it, but if what we’ hear shows him up in a bad light we are itchy until we can find others to regale with the story. Our best “chaperon” is our consci- ence. But we should bear in mind that con- science can be so hardened that it no long- er is a trustworthy directing factor in our lives. Fact is, a man has no conscience when he is steeped in crime. Ordinarily, conscience, if adhered to, is a monitor that can be depended on to keep us in the “straight and narrow path.” You are an upright man if your con- science is your “chaperon” in your deal- ings with your fellowmen. The Japanese, it is said, have con- cluded that war-making does not pay and that the American ideal of the good neighbor is the best policy. It apparent- ly takes the Japs only one war to learn, whereas it took Germany two wars, and perhaps, has not yet learned the lesson. READY TO PAY FOR PEACE? The United States occupies a unique position in world affairs, declares Norman Armour, Assistant Secretary of State, who points out that “we are. so to speak, in the position of the ‘richest man in town’— a town that has been hard-hit by a series of cataclysmic disasters. We have emerg- ed almost unscathed physically and also, by the concentration of our energies and the fate of history, relatively stronger, more productive and more powerful than ever before.” Under these conditions, with human nature being what it is, the diplomat says our position “invites envy and arousi antagonism.” It also imposes respon bility and requires us to take a realistic view of the world in which we live. Mr. Armour thinks that the people of this country:are ready to pay their proportionate share of the cost “of achiev- ing a stable and prosperous world on the basis of freedom” and that ‘we know, as a people, that when the economic boat is rocked by disturbed conditions abroad, our economy rocks with it.” If food goes much higher in price we think we will start to reduce, which after all may be best for our health. When you ask a doctor how to reduce the bulge, he will tell you at once to eat less. MAYBE: IF DREAMS COME TRUE Ever since Virginia sold little apples prophets have’ been telling the American public about the constant increase of free enterprise and World trade. To support this unproven tradition the United States has made efforts to sell its wares in foreign markets. .On the other hand we have al- ways grabbed the short end of the bar- gain jn trying to drum up foreign trade. The foreigners always want to sell us their goods, and they bring their wares to the United States and undersell our own mer- chants and manufacturers, Things “got worse fast” when Cordell Hull was Secre- tary of State. He made substantial re- ductions in tariffs that were not to the ad- vantages of the United States. If the old Republican party doctrine hasn’t fallen to pieces its leaders in Congress will start soon to raise our tariff laws to higher levels. And that would be a good thing for America!
