THE ORACLE i A . CARPENTER OR COOK? Worman Thomas has dedicated his life {] the cause of Socialism which, ac- cordf}g to the dictionary, is “A political and “économie theory of social organiza- don collective oregovernmental ownéeship—of the essential means for the produetion and distribution of goods. ”* For mang years Mr. Thomas has been the Soc- ialist=Party candidate in presidental elec" tiong-but has never received more: than han prové of Socialism when it is presented in a fofthright mannier. And yet in the last decatle and a half a large part of the Soc- ialist-party piatform has been adopted. Highgpolitical office-holders who profess oppd§ition to the philosophy of Socialism advogate and adopt measures which lead ultinggtely to all powerful socialisitic gov- ernniént. It is time that candidates and office- holders at every level of goverment be pinned down on a definition of issues. As one observer points out: “If a bank clerk develops the habit of falsifying his records and stealing money from the bank at which he is employed, how long. will his title remain bank, clerk, and when will it chan, ‘om.bank, clerk to. thief? ma “himself a carpenter ati starffly works at the cooking trade, should the fnan be called a carpenter or a cook? SSimilarly, if a man claims to be a Denfocrat or Republican, but carries on a socialistic program to destroy private busimess and the profit incentive system— a pkogram that promses the so-called comfmon man everything, one that em- ploy bankruptcy spending, confiscatory taxgtion and heavier regulations on busi- nes¢ costs higher, one that is gradually sociglizing basi¢ industries and professions, is making more of us wards of the govern- ment and is creating regional authorities— showld not a man who advocates and works for guch a program be called, not a Demo- cratjnor a Republican, but a Socialist?” “ 4 oe SWhy should all loyalty be attributed to 7 ELitigants reserve their opinion of a judge until his decision is known, * ————— sYou can always set an example to oth@f people—provided you are unselfish onan. . fir you wish to understand the present era al that you have to do is to read an acedunt of what happened after the first Wold War. 1 of votes.

Vandenberg, of Michigan, who played a large part in the development of a non-partisan foreign policy for the United States, is recuper- ating from an operation but took advan- tage of the second anniversary of Economie Cooperation Administration to say that the agency has rendered “incal- culably valuable service to our country in its indispensable leadership for liber- ty.” Calling attention to the fact that ECA was launched as an “unpartisan enter- | prise,” established by a Republican Con- , gress in cooperation with Democratic executive, the Michigan Senator does not pretend that no mistakes have been made or that the program is “untouchable” but takes the view that the ECA program has been substantially responsible for revers- ing the “corroding gloom which threaten- ed Western civilization two years ago.” Mr. Vandenberg suggested the crea- tion of an “unpartisan’’ commission to recommend a long-range economic and political peace policy for this country. He thinks the development of these pol- ieies will be necessary to supplement and follow the European relief program now in operation. He pointedly remarks that this nation has new responsibilities ‘as the world’s largest creditor nation and the world’s spearhead in the quest of de- pendable peace.” Finally, he expresses the hope “that we shall not lose sight of the ‘forest’ because we are so near the ‘trees. ” a We read that the experts see little chance of war with Russia in the next five years and, for once, we hope the experts are right but we wonder what the Rus- sians think about the prediction. TO THE RESCUE It’s a drab world, mates, what with Russians, taxes, inflation, divorce, juven- ile delinquency and a general air of moral degeneration, hellfire and damnation. The physiognomy of a man, thinking on all | these things, is likely to suggest that he has been wearied on a sour pickle. But,.do not dpspair.

BUTTER AND MARGARINE ARE GOOD We lift our heads to the editors of Ad- vertising Age because of its comment to the effect that “the lobbying job of the dairy industry and the margarine group seems to be about over and it is the hope that the interest shown in the subject by the public has been in reality an education- al campaign.” Nevertheless, that goes a little too far because it has been a camp- aign that in the end has smothered the sixty-three year.old “prejudice against margarine. i Millions of housewives from time to time tried out margarine for them- Selves, and foung that it was “licking” good. And margarine finally established a reputation as a tip-top competitor with butter. So in this good year of 1950 the question of color seems to have been de- cided once and for all by the American public as a false charge that kept the dis- cussion going in Congress. Federal taxes on colored margarine will end on July 1 and the old barrier blocking the sale of margarine will be skidoo. Now the issue seems to be in the hands of the public— which is best and which is cheapest. the | I guess I mentioned’ a , day or iso back that MARY-LASSWEbL 'is going to come to KEY WEST ‘to “get away from it all” and rest up from her writing labors. I have just been laughing} my* self into a tizzy over her Tatest' book, a hilarious novel titled “ONE ON THE HOUSE.” The phrase “One On The House” itself is highly intriguing and they are the four ‘words I enjoy hearing at any time of the day or night You can not call me a hypo- erite, chums, as I will admit I like having one on the house, or on anybody at all and there are times when I occasionally have one or two on me.

RASMUSSEN is forever wanting to go back to San Diego and MISS TINKHAM, the col- lege-bred lady, is the one who i able to fast-talk them out of al- most anything. “One On The House” finds our amazing trio in New York. Their hilarious day at the races with a Bos’n’s Mate and his pal will baffle anybody who ever wager ed a deuce on a nag or tried to figure the daily double. How these nice ladies wind up in Newark, which is a place in New Jersey, and take overa broken down beer tavern makes rib tickling reading. It is not their penchant sipping lager which gets into outlandish situations, their big hearted desire to other people out of trouble.
