That's talking rough about a nation which for genera_ tions has prided itself on being the world's greatist ag- gregation of salesmen. * * *

General Eaker was top air general for this country in Europe during the Second World War, lived in Houston for a time after the war, now lives in Los Angeles, and is Southern california director for the crusade for Freedom, fathered by that other great veteran, General Ike Eisen_ hower. His charge, staled "1"";, gives food for thought.

What did General Marshall mean? At a big Washing_ ton luncheon attended by the great and nbar_great just about the time he was made Secretary of Defense, tne fa_ mous General uttered a crack that doubled some of his au_ dience up with laughter, while some of the big Fair Dealers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mentioning the fact that the District of columbia does not vote, Marshail said, "The capital of the nation has no vote_and judging by the way the rest of the country has been voting, maybe it,s just as well." Since the country has been voting Democratic f.or 17 years, his remark was subject to many interpreta_ tions' * d< ,<

At the same luncheon General Clifton B. Cates, Corn_ mandant of the U. S. Marine Corps was given a big ova_ tion when he rose to speak, and with a dead pan he said, "We Marines don't mind being insulted, but we don,t like being ignored." ***

"Giving Moscow the ever-ready veto was like putting a light switch in a monkey cage,,, says the esteemed Arthur "Bugs" Baer. That's the best description o,f how Russia uses the veto that has yet been produced. And, boy, those monkeys have been working*that switch, haven't they?

If Gov. Dewey, of New york, had behind him the na_ tional propaganda machine that the Washington gang has, the headlines would have fairly burst asunder in reporting his recent remarks that caused Vishinsky, the head-hunter -to walk out of the room. It was a great United Nations dinner, and Dewey said in a few seconds the things the average Americans have been saying on the street "or."r, for a long time. He just told a simple truth about the mil_ lions of people held in slavery close to death in Russia. And Vishinsky, who used to chortle with unholy glee as he sent good Russians en masse to their deatJrs, .,couldn't take it." He walked out, his gang *following him.

I mentioned the Washington propaganda machine be_ cause, as all men know, it is neither Stalin, nor, as Mr. Truman so unwisely said, the Marines, that has the mighty publicity machine. It is the federal government in Washington, that employs the greatest army of professional pub- licists on earth. According to the House Appropriations Committee the Administration executive family has more than 45 thousand part-time and full-time employees, most of whom spend their time selling the administration and its works to our people. Their activities are described as "educational, informative, promotional, and publicizing.', Ttiey grind out releases for the press, write speeches, wrlte books, and make movies. The cost of their services has been estimated at arouttd 25 million dollars annually.

"Every dollar we spend needlessly, is a dollar deposited in the bank account of Joe Stalin,,' said Senator Martin, of Pennsylvania recently, in pleading for some real economy here at home' + {< *

Mr. Burton Rascoe, popular writer, recently hit the head_ lines with this niftie, "I have been living under a state of national emergency now for 17 years. Is there no way in which we can emerge U"f 1n emergenry?,'

An American humorist is reported to have been asked the difference between a Communist and a Nazi, and he answered, "Either of them will sell you his mother; the difference is, the Communist will deliver her.',

Thomas M. McCabe, chairman of the board of governors of our Federal Reserve System, told a convention in Bos_ ton the other day that alarming symptoms of inflation are evident at present, and .'the outlook for a serious infa_ tionary spiral is foreboding.', He said that infation is not just around the corner. It is*HERE.

Tons of stuff is being printed right now concerning our efforts to re-arm Europe, or to help her to re-arm against Communist aggression. We are trying to induce the Eu_ rope?ns to get busy and help themselves. They are very casual on that subject. The Wall Street Journal editorially remarks that "we are somewhat like the policeman who risks drowning himself to save a man who is not even interested in swimming."

The best descriptions I have heard of the attitude of Europe toward helping herself in these vital times, are those I get from unomcial Americans of high intelligence who go over there and form their own opinions. One such, just returned, describes the European situation tersely in this way: "Europeans are tired. They think there will soon be another World War, but they don't intend to fight. They will leave that to the United States.,,

And it seems to me that every citizen who returns from Europe is of the opinion that Europe has gone soft under the Santa Claus beneficence of the Marshall plan, and sees no reason for doing anything for themselves when their rich cousin from across the Atlantic is willing to do it all. I believe if the American nation could go to the polls and cast a vote about European help, their practically unani_ mous decision would be: "Quit doing things for them. Help those who help themselves-and only those. Don't try to carry all the military, financial, and economic burdens of the world on our shoulders. \Me can't help humanity by weakening ourselves, and we can,t support and defend all the lazy and, unfortunate people of the world.',

I believe that if Mr. John and Mrs. Jane American could have their say about world matters right now, they would speak after this fashion: "From this time on, let's do our share, and insist that the rest of the world do theirs. Let us not furnish all the money, all the materials, all the food, all the armies, all the blood, all the casualties for a world of two and one-half billions of people. Let's quit giving away money and things to all the out-stretched itching palms of the world, and ask nothing in return. Once this was a practical nation. Let's go back to being one. Let's show some of that so-called ,yankee common sense' we once owned and believed in. Let's stop sending our boys out to die wherever and whenever Joe Stalin decides. Let's quit playing Santa Claus to a world that thinks we are suckers for doing so. Let's concentrate of what is best for America and for Americans for a change. Let,s go back to some extent at least to the fundamental principles that made this nation great, such as thrift, economy, the payment of just debts, the knowledge that debt is danger. Let's finance .our own system of national defense so that no otJrernation will dare to insult us, and let's pay for that protection as we go, and stop building up national indebt_ edness that can only be destructive in the long run. Let's stop squandering our substance here at home. Lets cut to the quick such unsound and evil things as wholesale .subsidies and bounties which have no place in the life of a free people. Let's quit being New Dealers and Fair Dealers with all their fanciful fooleries and creeping socialism, and go back to being just Americans again. And let's start all these things the minute the Korean matter is disposed of. In the name of the God that made America and kept her to this good day, let us do these things."

:8**

Remember-and tell your kids, your neighbors, and your friends--what Lincoln said when he was asked at what point Americans might expect national danger. He said, "At what point is the approach of danger to be expected?

IF IT REACHES US, IT MUST SPRING FROM AMONGST US.''

Let every one of us pray "without ceasing" as the Bible advises, that we may elect men to ofiEce in this country who will put love of country above everything else. This is no time to elect politicians. We need patriots, for there is much to be done, and the j"a"_ * this nation is at stake.

Cast aside as folderol the advice of the courthouse t5rpe of politicians who say, "vote the ticket straight,,, ana fol_ low that of a great American named Thomas Jefferson, who said, "If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all."

It is refreshing to me to read your independent expressions in the editorial columns of your publica- tion. If we did not have some men still ieft who have ideas of their own and courage to give utterance to them we would soon lapse into a completely ordergd societY'
