CHALLENGE, 1950—AND FOREVER Americans, facing a third world war, are a perplexed people. ‘ We want nothing but peace on earth for ourselves and all mankind, but we can’t have it, nor can we give it to others. And much of the underlying trouble of the world is of our making. Certainly you are right in saying “World Communism is to blame for stitring unrest and kindling fires,” but we are at fault for having done nothing about the piles of tinder we've seen smoking into spontaneous combustion for a decade or two. Witness Asia. Asia is a restless frontier. -The Asiatic peoples are awakening from peasantry and from domination by fading imperialistic systems imposed upon them from Europe. The Asiatic mind is in the groping stage our forefathers went through when they threw off the yoke of Britain in 1776. They want freedom and self-determination. They want the rights we claim here under a constitution and a declaration of independence and a bill of rights. These things, basically, we want for them. But we've not shown response to their liberal growth. We've supported Dutch and French rule over native desires. We backed Chiang long after his people saw in him dictatorial fascist designs. We've appeared in the role of a shrewd investor, building up, certainly, but always tak-ing away a healthy profit. We have not appeared enough in the role of bearer of democratic truth to elevate those who are oppressed as we were oppressed. It is correct for us to tell the world we supported the anti-Communist groups in these awakening lands. That we did. But we also drove true liberals into the arms of Communists, allied ourselves with reactionary rule such as We ourselves shook off in 1776, and lost what chance we had to sell our true democratic philosophies to millions’ of people now emerging, for yew or for worse, into stronger positions in the world of change and flux. All we can do at present, evidently, is to continue to fight Russian Communism wherever it flares up as the backdrop for war in isolated countries with strange sounding names. But we had better bring with our ‘planes and tanks and ships a resolve to continue to fight ‘Communism with Democracy after the shooting is over. Those strange sounding names had best become part of the dictionary of democracy, once regained from the open lie of cormmunism. General Douglas MacArthur had made great strides in «conquered Japan, bringing to a downtrodden but intelligent race of people their first opportunity for self rule. His has been an unprecedented and magnificent role. And it establishes a pattern for rescuing our place as saviour of freedom loving people. That pattern must be enlarged, if we are successful in the war of arms, and become a ring of true, democratic enlightment against an octopus of communist enslavement. Asiatic peoples must see us as we are in our own land, free people, loving freedom and self determination for ourselves and all others. They must be shown that we wish them to grow in free soil. Our only right of ‘temporary imperialism is one in the MacArthur pattern, ‘imposing our force only to protect their freedoms until they are able to protect themselves. . ‘» If that means turning our backs upon the decadent “imperialisms imposed by . 9th centur Europe, and turning our swords against 20th century ommunism, that’s our job. We must regain the place of honor we earned -as the rebellious colony which threw off oppression. We -cannot be placed by Russian propaganda and our own -blundering support of state quo governments in the hated -role of a-fascist conqueror, which is the role in which . -many millions of Asiatics now see us. And if.it means turning back to native countries the bulk of control over foreign investments, so that they our technological skills as well as } ith Bea ‘ -does any one else? through our military and diplomatic protection, that is worthy of study too. It is easy for us to say our capital has built many backward nations into positions of world strength. It has. We have also put up such colossal fortunes in investment that their domestic businessmen are shoved out of the picture. How California would squawk if Spain’s tycoons still retained rights to our oil fields or to our hydroelectric plants, or. our farm lands. We're coming into a tough situation. Either we get Asia—and Africa and much of Europe and South America—thinking of us as the American nation of freedom loving people, or we allow Rugsia to convert millions on the argument they must withstand being gobbled up by greedy and oppressive Wall Street America. We've won two wars. We've freed millions from the Kaiser's form of oppression, from Hitler's prison camp naziism, from Mussolini's murderous fascism—yet we stand, in the eyes of millions of freedom seeking men, as the grasping Rightist State of the world family. The Russian line of communistic palaver isn't hard for us to reject, because we see it in-the light of the democracy we live. It is another kind of attraction when repeated to struggling Asiatics reaching out towards any light. The light they seek is the democracy we can give them. But we must take it to them through fire and through a bewildering jungle of untruth and half truth, some of it built around our own mistakes. . There’s a big job coming up, America. Stolen from the Placerville Democrat. Besides, it’s too dog dayish to write editorials this. week. The spirit of kindness of the folks about you, the pleasant nod, a word of encouragement, a smile, the interest of your neighbor in your behalf, are the foundation stones of town loyalty. It’s those little things that make a town and the remembrances and nostalgia of those who have moved to other places to live. This is one of those weeks. We haven't a thing to write about—since the supervisors adopted the personnel survey. We have nothing in particular to object to; no one to raise hell with—in, short—a blank for a so-called editorial writer. An editorial writer is supposed to get out of bed on the wrong side, eat a sour pickle for breakfast and get in a fire and brimstone mood for the day, that is according to popular conception of an editor.
