ThePied Piper, piping a merry
‘tune, led all the children of Hamlin, so far as we know, into the
Never-Never Land, and_ thereby
punished that city for the refusal
of the city burgers to keep their
promise.. The Pied Piper had en-tered into a contract to rid the
city of rats. When the burgers saw
how easily. and how thoroughly he
did it,,with his, penny whistle,
they flatly: refused to. pay the large
‘gum which thay ‘had confidently
expected he would fail to earn. So
the whole city -was punished hecause the-board of trustees refused to keep. their. word Biven a ragged, motley piper. ; ne
There are’ many people who say
these days: . “Our children will
ae have to look out for themselves in
the futuré the same as you and I
ofthis. generation. must look out
for ourselves.”.This. kind of rea“soning, this careless disregard of
the obligations. that we ‘inherit
from-our’ fathers'who did look out
“for our future, ought to be stingingly rebuked. For just as surely
as our, fathers, grandfathers, and
great grandfathers fought the battle for liberty, for the abolition of.
slavery, and for establishment for
their right to sail the seas without hindrance, just so it is the duty
of the elders of this generation to
_ gee to it that liberty is preserved .
for our children, The menace to
that liberty comes today both from
within and without the nation.
Within the nation we note that
eongress delegates its powers to
the President, that the President
re-assigns these powers to such
men as Harry Hopkins, a_ large
coterie of well intensioned gentlemen, named Henderson, Knudson,
Hillman, Davis, and officers of the
cabinet who also receive added
powers delegated by the President
from his largess off power. The
‘direction of the defense effort, indeed, derives from a hodgepodge
of powers delegated by the President.
Young sprigs hired: by Secretary Ickes, hold a hearing on the
control of the California oil industry in San Francisco. They are
abysmally ignorant of the develonvment of the state’s oil resources,
the methods of its production, refining, and distribution. But they
have great authority and they exercise it with all the aplomb of
Emperor Jones in one of O’Neill‘s
early plays. Their decision will
touch the lives of every man, woman and child in California. They
can cost the state millions of dollars, because a lazy demagogic
majority in congress finds it easier to delegate its powers’ than
exercise them. These powers dished out from the throne fall finally into the hands of visionaries
and incompetents, friends of a
friend of the President. This
spawning bureaucracy clothed with
authority, meddling in the intricate social! and economic ‘fabric of
the country, has its hands on our
¢hildren’s freedom.
Of the two perils menacing the
future of our children, we hold
that peril. most dire which springs
from within. We realize of course,
that when citizens permit their
representative in congress to delegate their powers to a President,
who in turn delegates them to
someone else, that the _ citizens
themselves are at fault. The threat
from the outside is so obvious that
all can see, and we do the obvious
things to avert the peril. But this
internal worm that bores into the
very core of our national life, few
can see until the entire apple decays,
These are some of the reflections on seeing the procession of
the children in the celebration of
the Fourth Friday. We hope that
charming and beautiful series of
vignettes, pictured by bright, living youngsters in the parade of
Independence Day will give all the
older folks who saw it, cause to
think sharply of the world which
we shall presently bequeath them.
Let us keep the faith of our fathers, for these, our children.
