Thomag Jefrerron aaid: "Our firrt and fundamcntd maxim should be, never to entanglc ourselves ln thc broilr of Europe. '|. * * Even ahould thc cloud of barbarism and dcspotiam again obscure the science and libcrties of Europe, thig country remains to preserve and regtore light and liberty to them. In short, the flamcs kindlcd on the Fourth of July, L776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeblc engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will conrume these engines and all who work them." +rl

As this is written the fur flies between thoee Americans who ,believe that we are "my brother'B kecpcr"-the brothers in this case meaning all the rest of the world-and those who contend we should first make ourselves overwhelmingly strong at home, and thus preserve and conserve our strength so that we shall have it when vitally needed. The first call themselves "liberals." They call the others "isolationists."

Of one thing there can be no doubt; concerning it there is no room for argument; if Jefferson and Washington were here today to repeat the solemn warnings they left behind for our guidance, they would be the world's outstanding isolationists. Read what Jefferson said, as quoted above, and recall Washington's solemn warning against "foreign entanglements," and try to imagine what dirty letters those two would get. **

Holmes Alexander had a column recently that tickled me. He told about a fictitious American who was complaining about certain things he did not fully understand. This guy said he gave some money to an Englishman, who used it to buy some timber from a Russian. The Russian, in turn, used the money to buy a gun to point at the American, and threaten his life. So, the American had to buy a gun to protect himself from the gun that had been bought with the money he had given the Englishman. He went to the Englishman to whom he had given the money in the first place, and suggested that he stop doing business with the Russian. And what made him mad was that the Englishman not only refused, but asked for more money to buy more things from the Russian, so that he could buy more guns to point at the American. **

With all the tragedy of 1950, there was also some fun. The nation's comics pulled literally thousands of cracks and gags about Truman's letter writing. No doubt the most quoted was uttered by Fred Allen. Changing a bit Henry Clay's immortal remark that he would "rather be right than Preeident," AUen said that Truman "would rather write than be Prerident." **

The funniest remark I heard all through the year-funny because I'm guch a cofree hound myself-was by aomeone unknown to me who said: "Cofree is so wonderful I don't see why it isn't a Ein."

The State Department was thc butt of numerous bitter jokes, most of them based on the fact that an army of sexual degenerates was discovered and discharged from that department. Naturally, those sort of jokes are not of the parlor variety, so I will do no guoting, although many of them have been printed in numerous newspapers and periodicals.

Earl Wilson, columniet, dedicated a song to the income tax department, entitled-"I wonder what's become of salary." You sing it to the famous air of the Sally song.

Some very wise philos";; I don't know who-said: "Don't forget this-if the positions of the United States and Russia were reversed-lvE* WO ULD N'T BE HERE !"

And if you think we would, brother, you are the world's champion optimist, and too dizzy to be running loose withoutakeeper.

It was printed and repeated continually through 1950 that-"This is the Promised Land; everything we have has been promised to somebody." I thought the best cartoon of the year was one by Goldberg, showing Truman out in a cornfield shaking hands with a scarecrow and asking: "What can I promise you?"
