Limiting The Ballot
I' Prompted mainly bv the Republicans, ac
fon tf) lifmt by constitutional amendment
he office terms of presidents to two is lit
tle more,than limiting the ballot. It is dan
Jperous business for any group, including
ate legislatures, to support a movement
hat is armed to deny a citizen the right to
ite for- whom he pleases.
11 is fa‘rl.v apparent that the drive for the
|mendmrnl stems from the privileged who
j»re still ^smarting under the accomplish
ments traceable to the Roosevelt adminis
tration. accomplishments brought about in
Jhe n;aTK; nf the common masses. It is only
%nce in ever so many generations that the
momwMH people get a real friend in the
White House and some group or groups
m-ould crucify Demcoracy to insure them
folves or then heirs against another Roose
ft Let tho People and not the State political
fodies decide whether they’ll want to vote
#>r a man for president one time or a dozen
limes.

One Square Meal
i Christian Science Monitor
! The difference between statistics and ;
child weak with hunger in the next room i:
considerable. It is one thing to read of 30.
000,000 undernourished children in Eurojv
alone; it is another thing to realize what on*
square meal a day for each of th.ose„ch’ld
rcn could mean to rj>e--y5"to hi.
Destiny” -a stilling picture of the suffer
,.ings of children in war-wasted lands—as the
years best documentary film. But the pic
ture has not been shown at commercial the
aters in case its harsh facts should “antago
nize" audiences bent on entertainment.
Perhaps what Americans most need is to
have relief dramatized to them rather than
suffering. Take that “one, square meal a
day.” That is the aim of the International
Children’s Emergency Fund created by the
General Assembly of the United Nations
last December. It aims chiefly to help na
tions develop their own child-relief pro
grams. It estimates that $200,000,000 of its
costs will come from recipient nations, $200,
000,000 from donor governments, and $50,
000,000 from voluntary contributions.
We believe that millions of people who
are enjoying three square meals a day, and
millions more existing on lean, monotonous
rations, would welcome the proposed plan
to contribute “one day’s pay” in order to pro
vide the neediest children with one basically
nutritious meal a day, costing five or six
cents. We trust the I. C. E. F. may forge
ahead with the fullest support of the gov
ernments whose delegates created it, am!
with the fullest public awareness of hu
manity’s stake in its hungry children.
One Reason Some l)o \ot l.il.e tt allaee
Columnist Stokes.
They do not like it when Henry Wallace
says that both parties here are being captur
ed by the Conservatives, for they don’t like
lo be caught at this game which goes on be
fore your eyes. They do not like it when
he says the way to combat Communism is
to have something like the New Deal all over
the world, for they are working like furv
here now, day and night, to destroy that.
Henry Wallace is a hated symbol to some
people here. To others he is a symbol of
hope and it was to them that he said:
“In England I have seen first-hand the
devastation and suffering caused by war
and to prevent that devastation and ruin
again on the world I shall go on speaking
out for peace wherever men will listen to
me until the end of my days.”

And 1 know down deep in her
heart, f
She was breathing a silent
prayer.
It's
Mother that watches with
care,
Throughout the live long day,
The little things she does for us
No child can over repay.
Mother tucked the blankets about
us.
While others were asleep.
She’d place a kiss upon our brow,
Then quietly, away she'd creep.
When we get sick or in trouble,
Others may do all they can.
•But nothing seems to soothe and
heal,
Like the touch of Mother’s!
hand.
Her hands may be scarred, from
toil and care,
Her steps unsteady and slow.
But her faith, in God, grows
stronger,
While journeying here below.
When her life’s work here
ended,
And she leaves this world of sin. '
Heaven’s door will open,
Mother, will enter in.
