Restate) SE sips rn eee a Pua but the fact that people who vote fail to condemn the current trend towards tak- ing care of friends leads public officials to do what they think will gain friends, win backers and keep them in office. If the people of the nation, or any election district, would show that they possess suffi #0 morality to condemn these pra. 8 they would soon pass away. or strange phenomenon is seen in many phases,: Citizens and communities denounce the spreading ramifieations of ‘the federal. government ‘but, when they see a chancé to get some money, they for. get all about their complaints, Business men denounce government spending but not when they seek contracts carrying fat profits. Cities and other governmental units look steadily toward the federal treasury to carry their burdens and pro- vide what their citizens desire. Years ago Grover Cleveland, then President of the United States, declared that “public office is a public trust.” No man has the right to use the power of his official position for the. private profit of his friends or himself. No official has the right to extend favors at the expense of the government. Nevertheless, so long as officials are judged solely by “results” or the’“‘bacon” brought home, we will have that type of man in office. Reading ‘is a good habit, if you have the time and know how to do it. Even an intelligent man makes a fool of himself about some things. RULES COMMITTEE TYRANNIC From New Delhi, India, Clifford C. Taylor, agricultural counsellor to the U. S. Embassy, says that the food shortage in Bihar State is “the most serious in In- dia and is building up to a critical situa- tion.” \ Meanwhile, Communist China offers to barter 50,000 tons of rice and the Rus- sians are reported to have offered 50,000 tons of wheat in exchange for jute. The Administration has asked Con- gress to pass a bill to give 2,000,000 tons of grain to the famine-threatened Indians, but it has been held up in Congress for weeks. The bill has been bottled up by the House Rules Committee, a small group, which now has the power of pre- venting the entire Congress from Passing on important legislation. Without going into any argument as to the relative merits of the 2,000,000 tons of grain to be given to‘India, as a humani- tarian measure, it is an unjustified pro« cedure that permits the members of one small committee to ‘prevent the aan “MLE of the House of. Representatives from voting on the proposal.
