Russia and her satellites bat around the word “democracy,” unaware they are fooling nobody except themselves. Ameri- cans view the “elections” as they do propa- ganda that comes out of Russia, when the Kremlin dishes up phony names in claim- ing eve invention of any consequence 1 that has been made since man has inhabit- ed the earth. Their phony eleetions are so rank they are not even amusing. Only the educated person knows how little man knows. RUSSIA'S BUSINESS The Soviet Union has refused to al- low Russian wives to join their husbands in other countries and so, the other day, the General Assembly of the \ United Na- tions adopted a resolution “that the action of the Russian Government was a yiola- tion of the United Nations charter.” .Bince resolutions of the General As- sembly are not binding upon the mem- ber-Governments of the United Nation, we fail to see where anything is gained by debating such issues and passing reso- lutions, The Soviet Union seems to be on rather firm ground when it points out that the United Nations is forbidden to inter- fere in the domestic affairs of any country. Certainly, the decision to grant or with- hold an exit visa to a citizen is within the jurisdiction of the state. It is about time for the people of the world, including the official delegates to the United Nations, to understand that the domestic affairs of one country are not the proper concern of other countries, or the United Nations. What the govern- ment of Russia does to the people of Rus- sia is not the official concern of the Gov- ernment of the United States. Consequent- ly, the less we have to say about the things we do not like, the better. Speeches are made for two purposes —to tell the truth or to hide the truth. WE HAVE NO NATIONAL PARTY The general idea that the United States has two parties, operating on a na- tional level} is far-fetched, but not many Americans stop to analyze the situation. It is obvious that the major political parties are not “national” but represent nothing more than the aggregation of a number of state parties, which operate, inside their states, as they please. This was illustrated by the refusal of | four Southern States to pledge their electors to President Truman. It is dem- onstrated by the wide differences that exist between the various state delega- tions of the same “national” party issues in Congress. There are wide differences between what the Democratic Party stands for in South Carolina, in New York and in Mis- souri. Likewise, there ig not a singleness of purpose in the policies of the Republi- can Party in California, in Vermont or in Tennessee, The Citizen has remarked often, . though it wan not the firt to aay i thas (Old Man ar WINCHESTER, Va. =Char!
