V: - ? ii' Y TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stock bridge) tiDJDY _ and 113 I have read hundreds of editorial comments on the departure ot Lindbergh for England with !ns wiU ond baby sou, Jon. All are in agrei ment that it is n national disgrat j that America's foremost young hum should be driven to seek refuge in .1 foreign country, bew.se :he lax en forcement of the hw^> of his native land gives'liiin good ground to !e; i that the lives of his wife and eh i U are in danger in this country. None of the comment ? T have sec i, however, puts the linger ? the spit where the blame for this condition li-s Some demand more and better law.-*, some stricter enforcement. It seen s to toe that the rcoplc of tl:<* JtJnited States have it in their jiower to stamp out organized crime when ever they want 1o. That we haven't done it is crood evidence that we don't care. FEAR . _ . nation-full As a people, we seem to hi' in thv grip of fear, to an extent unknown in our American history. A sjiecial grand jury iiive-stigatii.-; "racketeering" in New York City re ported the other day that hundrc!. of business men had refused to gi.e evidence because they were afraid of: 'reprisals by organized crooks. And it is not only erimiu.vl !' whom we a . :* afraid.* Dr. James Thomas president of Clarkson College, told a teachers' con vention the other day that America's worst trouble is that we are seared of everything. "We arc afraid our officials \v e,iger ears to the intelligentsia telling us thai tha first interest of business men is tr? bring periodic collapses, that our farmers are failures, tliat we who work are oppressed". What America oiecd* most, ri'^lit now, is a "shot in the arm" or a optent extract of the old-fashioned -elf-reliant couragc of our forefathers OURSELVES . . change I It is human nature to blame alf our troubles upon somebody else, l! s "the syslem" that is wrong, when ever we find^ourselves in a tight plsce, We clon't stop to think tint jierhap? some of our diffieuKies are our own fault Senator Norris remarked the other day that the thing most needed chang ing was not our form of governm ;i:t or our economic structure, butiour selves. To do that, to correct our own out look on life and events, calls for a great deal more effort than most of us are willing to give. It is so much easier to throw all responsibility upon some malignant external influence, and proceed to denounce the unnamed "they" who have got us into this mess Nothing could be more wholesom ? in its effect upon the nation than for verybody to take a day off from !:?"; pursuit of dollars or pleasure and ii/ to find what's wrong1 with himself.
