All the At, lantic Pact nations: want American men to fight ‘their ‘battles, and American taxes to pay their bills. This is Internationalism sure enough! But is it good? The brass hats are at their usual game of playing ‘one American group ‘off against anither. General Hershey now says if he can draft 18-year-old boys into the army, he won't ask for drafting of veterans. But why does he have to draft either? Because that i is the price of Internationalism! The general figures that the veterans will immediately put up a howl to get the . & year-olds shipped off to war. In the war to save Stalin from Hitler, the parents of young boys made few protests. Few wrote leters to congress-, men. Practically none really made a fuss about it. So the igeneral wants the new crop of boys. Well, this is the price of Internationalism. General Hershey made a most soreick able statement. He said every young man should serve 30 months in uniform, to support Dean Acheson in his self-appointed role of Architect of the World. Said the General, “These young men must pay their debt to society!”’ Believe it or not, that is what the general said! To be drafted is now the debt which every American * ‘owes. to society’ Familiar ring to that expression? Yes, you've heard it before. We used to say of convicted criminals that sitting in the electric chair or serving time in prison was “paying their debt to society.” That was an unfortunate way of putting it. What the general should have said is that young Americans, though guiltless of crime, were paying the international gambling. debts of politicians. Yes, these anxious, tax-loaded, eek insecure times are the consequences of internationalist gambling by politicians who were playing for their own glory. They were not inevitable. Smaller and weaker nations than ours have kept out of wars and foreign entanglements. We name the best known: Sweden and Switzerland. Also every nation in the western hemisphere except the U.

The prospect of a $60 billion federal budget should arouse some sober thinking.—$60 billion is six. times the largest pre-war federal peacetime budget. It is approximately equal to the total national income in any year through the 1930's.—Oak Harbor, Wash., News. No enemy would ever bomb Washington and deliberately end all the confusion. Ciecketian in speech is more than eloquence; and to speak agreebly to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words or in good order. —Bacon. ‘One of these days we'll wake up and find out our life savings (if we can accumulate any) won't buy a s pound of peetatenkLinda and Ed Flynn, of Cardenas Street, San Francisco, says it can’t be done.
