THE ORACLE The Citizen publisher and em- LET “THE FARMERS ALONE ‘There is constant agitation from the White House down throygh the Senate and lower House of Congress to regulate farming. There is the so-called Brannan Pian which provides for plans to limit and control the production of farm products. If the farmers don’t do what they are told to do, they may suffer penalties under new laws, Farmers are to keep books and re- cérds and make such reports as may be req ired by the Secretary of Agriculture. And if he doesn’t “keep good books,” he may: -be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined ajifwhere up to $500. Good old safe and sound Commenta- tor. Mark Sullivan vouches the prediction that “if.this bill ever becomes a law we'll have to have more farm bookkeepers.” In other words the farmers are shunting off most oftheir. obligations to their farms. But in the light of a good deal of op- posifign the United States Government wal . more rules of inquiry, in drder to pu ers on the carpet and find out w ‘dre not doing what the politicians in ington told them to do. writer of this piece was on the carpet phider such conditions I'll tell, you what hé would do, to wit: he would thumb his nosé at unreasonable brass hats and tell them to go soak their heads. REDUCING IS DANGEROUS Wonten and young girls all over the nation often lose their sense of balance om the subject of reduction in weight. Every one of them who imagines that she is a few pounds heyond a sylph-like figure, plans te cut down food in order to take off the excess. Well, it is a rather risky process, ladieS’ You don’t have to take our word for it; ither. Consult your own physician. Few women in Monroe County are dieticlaris of sufficient experience to know how to properly diet themselves. Nine times out of ten, the careless “diets” result in more fat, or, at least, no reduction, but aré aécompanied, it is feared by médical authorities, with nervous diseases and a generally-weakened body. One Way to reduce is to take more ex- ercise. Try that before you cut down too severely on food. Of cours® we know that amost people eat too much and could eli- minate some poundage by eating properly, but SS iseverely reduce to diet is positively dane. % : “your opinion on May 2. Griping aft ward is a waste of time. : Pai ic cluded the statement: “A steadfast con- cért for péace can never be maintained ex- cept by a partnership of democratic tions.” He closed with the memorable words: “The world must be made safe for democracy.” What he had in mind, in con- nection with this statement, has been il- lustrated by the conduct of Soviet Russia in recent years. The second Wofld War, with its stu- pendous devastation and enormous’ cost, all but reduced some of the nations of | Western Europe to poverty. Now, without an isolationist complex, the Congress of the United States supports the President of this country in a remarkable effort to the democracies of the world to ntain themselves against possible ag- gression from a totalitarian state. The expenditures necessary under this program are justified with the assertion that the United States must support the democracies or else find itself really iso- lated in world affairs and faced by an overwhelming concentration of power con- trolled by the regime in the Kremlin. Thus, we see that two wars and im- mense expenditures move toward the ful- fillment of Wilson’s assertion that ‘the world must be made safe for democracy.” Under the pressure of Communistic Rus- sia, the democracies of the world under- stand that they must stand together or face extinction, one by one. There still remains the execution of the other quotation from President Wil- son, the formation of a_ partnership of democratic nations.” This is what has been proposed in a resolution now before Con- na- ) gress, calling for a ¢onvention of the dele- gates of the natidns which Atlantic. Treaty. Favorable action by the Congress will be: a.stép toward the formation of a Fed- eral union of democratic peoples which will possess the strength necessary to deter aggressors and would-be world-con- querors, who. would like to subject other peoples to an. iron-fisted’ regime that would stifle liberty and destroy Western civilization. The proposal that the signatory na- tions to the Atlantic Treaty get-together to form something of a union, along the lines of the process utilized by the thirteen American colonies, seeks to bring about a partnership of peoples who have com- mon ideals of justice, culture and free- dom and possess the liberties that are re- quisite to the development of democratic processes. It does not include nations whose peoples do not enjoy modern free- dom, including the control of the destiny of their own countries. We would like very.much to see this convention assembled. The United States can hardly fail to cooperate with othér peoples. who are willing to adopt the ex- ample-of our nation in order to create se- eurity and safety in the modern world. Neverthéless, there should be, in the constitution of the proposed union, clear- ly defined limits to the powers of the super-government, so that the nations participating will not find, as the Ameri- can states discovered, that the financial- ly-powerful central government is able to encroach upon the powers reserved for the respective peoples of the respective nations, In our opinion, greater progress would be made toward the formation of this union if the peoples of the democratic countries were invited $¢ join on the basis. of a ten or twenty year trial. In fact, the right, of amation gnd its'‘people to ‘with- draw, after fulfilling théiy, accepted. com- mitments, should’ be clearly..recognized and always respegted. No. people will add strength to such aunion unless they remain a part of if by their own consent. Many of the ‘difficulties that confront those now promoting such a union would disappear if it was made clear that join- signed the ing such a union would not be irrevoca- ble and that peoples, dissatisfied for any reason, could reserve the right to with- draw. Certainly, if the béhefits of the proposed union are anywheré near thosé proélaimed. by its proponents, there would be slight danger that the union would not endure, | books and are reputed to “shows, much but that won't. surprise anyone who knows me well, f am forever doing things wrong.
