I Weighed i ml Ton ml W anting There’s still some talk about pulling j Spain’s Franco under America’s wing, but impartial observers have weighed Madrid and found it wanting. Small groups would overlook the slaugh- j ter of the scoundrel and recognize him. Others ask, "Should a land which stands for progress and individual liberty help a power which stopped progress and despises personal freedom?" Some would recognize the butcher even though he has been openly and boastfully Fascist, and has called Democracy decadent just as Hitler and II Duee called it decadent. They would recognize Franco even though , Ids government has and cont nines to express hatrhd and contempt for the United States, calling it immoral, Protestant and stupid. Franco is the same fellow today he was back in 19-11 when he declared, “what joy to see the Cierman bombers one day punishing tin* insolence of the skyscrapers-of New York." Franco’s government deliberately and callously Haunts many of the advances which human decency and dignity have won through centuries of struggle. It suppresses freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free dom of polities, and freedom from unjust persecution exactly and to almost the same extent as do the Communist of eastern Europe. Anv criticism of the regime is cruelly suppressed. All religions other than the Homan Catholic are restricted and on occa sions. even persecuted in a way which no truly enlightened nation would tolerate. As • a the Soviet Union, so in Spain only one political party is allowed Just as among the Communists ul eastern Europe, the Fascists of Spain arrest, torture, ?nd execute without a shadow of justice .11 those who oppose them in even the (lightest degree. The Franco government has not done o»< thing for the common people. And vet, that is the regime our State Department is proposing to help restore to international dignity. II rullli's Dm-plions Wealth is supposed to increase the happi ness of the home and yet all too often it divides it and separates even bosom friends. It breeds envy and hate between brethren and sometimes curses the very home which it was expected to’bless. It makes children less amenable to control and seems to come between them and their parents,'so that they become separated in thoughts and alienated in affection. The man who thinks that happiness is increased with the increase of wealtli has only to look carefully at the world’s records for some thousands of years to witness the contrary. The pool man has a better chance of happiness than his rich brother; the rich boy is handicapped far more in life’s race than the son of the poor man. Wealth is more often a burden than a blessing; better not to pay too much for it. It isn’t worth it. — The Record. Tlio l ithllrr Musi Have IIis Pay He who dances must pay the fiddler, it has been explained time and again, but quite a few want to hear the music and pay nothing for listening. Curtailed postal service has brought com plaints, and in many instances those com plaining about the service are against any rate increase or an adequate appropriation for the maintenance of top service. After all, we get just about what we pay for, and it is unreasonable to expect more. ‘*1 would like to get all the rulers of the world into one room and tell them to remem . Her Ood ” — Toe R H? ulev lieutenant* Governor of New York. Looking Sflj-tt ard The Uplift. Instead of constantly tearing to pieces this or that person in our circle of aquain tances, why not spend a little time in criti cizing and sitting in judgement on that indi vidual who really deserves it, that person who is our only real enemy—ourself? There is no one anywhere whom we have a great er right to criticize, dislike or mistrust than we, our selves, if we would be as freely ob serving of ourselves ns we are of others. Let us be perfectly honest and ask our selves this question: If I were choosing a friend, would I select one just like me; if in trouble would 1 select as a confidant a per son like me; in choosing a partner, would the person selected be one like- me? It is impossible for us to get away from ! ourselves. If we dislike a certain person, if we mistrust a friend, we can growl and keep away. This man “Me" we can never get away from, lie is with us twenty-four hours every day. If we fooled our acquaintances as we sometimes try to fool ourselves, it is hardly likely we would have a friend in the world. To “see ourselves as others see us" would j certainly change our altitude toward all j mankind How gloomy life would be if we were i as conservative in praising ourselves, those around us would think us most charming j liars, and take a firm grip on their pocket- j book. If we put our best self forward with others as we try to do with ourselves, people j would think of us more kindly. If we over looked the faults of others as we do our own, we would be looked upon a being far more charitable than we are reputed to be. How lovely would be this old world if everyone would he as nice to each other as we are to ourselves. _ ‘loir Panhandle'? Christian Science Monitor. There are a couple of refreshing notes in the comment of Ben 11. Guill of Pampa. Texas, on being the first Republican con gressman elected from Texas in 20 years. One is the hope that bis election will be taken in Washington as at least “one small protest” against some current trends. The other is his hope that it may be the begin ning of a two-party system in Texas. We hope, though, that he does not mean \ ail that may seem to be implied by his fur ther declaration, “I’m not going to vote Re publican or Democratic I’m going to vote Panhandle.” As an avowal of independence that is fine; but as a prehaps unconscious expressoin of localism it is dangerous. Too many other representatives and sen ators already have been voting with easy j disregard of the interests of the United States. They have not always remembered in Congress even the platform pledges of their party. There has been too much tendency simply to vote Missouri Valley, Wabash Valley, Pacific Northwest, cotton states, silver states, New England, Chesapeake Bay, Ten nesse, Arizona, Grand River, Pamlico County, Flv Creek, Horseshoe Cove, or Chippewa Falls. This can amount in the aggregate to a very insidious and injurious “panhandling" at the expense of vital national undertak ings. As manifested not only in the recent rivers and harbors bill but in other section al legislation, the argument to “keep money at home" can result in boondoggling while the world burns. We hope the gentlemen from Texas will not vote “vote Panhandle,” but — trite though it may sound — will vote American, ami will on occasion even vote as if the world were his constituency (which, in a mea ire, it is). Il’/iere Do They ('.onir From? Clipshoct. The superintendent of the Keswick Col ony of Mercy, Keswick Grove, New Jersey, Dr. Addison C. Raws, says that alcoholics ore coming from “homes like yours—fam ilies like yours—from schools like yours— from communities like yours — and even from churches like yours. Drink is no re specter of persons, and alcohol chooses its victims from every walk of life—doctors, lawyers, university professors, men of al most every profession and trade.” Dr. Raws states further, that he was talk ing with a judge from a southern state who sought help in breaking the grip of the al coholic habit. In the conversation he men tioned the name of a newspaper man from the same city. “That judge replied, ‘Yes, I knew that man. When 1 first became a judge, the second case to come before me for trial and sentence for drunken driving was that man.’ Then he added rather sad ly, ‘Since that time, I, myself, have been sentenced for drunken driving’.” Yes, your friends who seem so poised and so in command of their drinking, are just much danger of alcoholism as those they look upon as socially untrained and “weak.” BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Case of Champagne vs. Coke: Fifty Million Frenchmen Wrong -- By BILLY ROSE ---J No French champagne is being sold at my night club in New York and patrons who request same will have to settle for domestic fiszwater—which is a lot easier on the pocketbook, What gives"’ The French Communists and Coca-Cola—that’s what gives. As you probably know, the French national assembly recently passed a btli which, without naming the product, would prohibit ih* bottfitfg and »ale of Coca-Cola in France and its colonies. Two-pressure groups, were respon sible for this measure—the wine Jr"°rests which feared that the soft drink might cut into their profits, and the Communists, who, though they have no love for the vintners, saw an opportunity to take a rabbit punch at the United States. Suiting invective to word, the Commie paper, I,’Humanlte. un leased a campaign against the “coca-colonization" of the country, loud- mouthing i num ilia l l N C syrup is highly toxic and would turn La Belle France into a na tion of “coca hol ies.” At the same time, the right wing press, front ing for the fi?z Billy Rote Tiien riums, urgau to blab along the sirne tines, and even the Usually sensible l.e Monde warned that ' Ibe moral landscape of France is at stake." Before I go any further, let me get it into the record that I'm not a big Coke drinker and never owned a share of stock in tire com pany. As far as I'm concerned, the beverage is just another American product like Orange Crush, 7 Up or Dr. Brown’s Celery Tonic. By initiating an anti-coke cam paign, they have given Stalin't stooges a made-to-order excuse jor yelping, "Doun with Ameri can imperialism" — the same sleazy slogan used h y Commies everywhere to divert attention from the accomplishments o) the Marshall plan. As for the argument that the dis tribution of Coca-Cola would create unemployment and cut into prof its—that. too, Is a lot of bottletops. The set-up of the Coca-Cola Export corporation is such that the entire manufacture and sale would be carried out by French personnel, on French territory, and under French aupervision and ownership. Or to put it another way, it would be the beginning of a new French industry, and potentially a pretty big one, judging from the fact that more than 100,000 Americans de rive part or all of their income* from the parent company and ita subsidiaries. From where I cogitate, It boils down to this: John O Frenchman is being denied a choice between I.eftists, aided and abetted by the bird-brain Righties, don't like the Coke and vino only because the '’ountry Coca-Cola comes from. Well, Messieurs el Mesdames, tuo ceu play a! boycott as uell as one, and so, no trench cham pagne uill be soli in my night club until the idiotic ban against our home product is lilted. Moreover, I’m hereby appealing to hotels, restaurants and night club proprietors all over the coun try to follow suit—and to wire or write me when they do. And if they'd like to explain the boycott to their customers, they're at lib erty to run off reprints of this col umn—of course crediting this paper. And remember. Messieurs et Mes dames, if that doesn’t work we can get really tough and stop buying your French postcards.
