No Subscription Received Under fi Months Tlmrsilay. May 17. 1051 Diriilrtl The Washington administration has been charged with many things, and possibly some of the charges are with foundation. It is equally apparent that many of those making the charges are without a program, policy or plan of their own otner than to better their own position by tearing down opposition. It has been charged that Truman, Acheson and Company have no policy for the Far East. Well, it is almost beyond the realm of the possibility to cut a pattern for a crazy situation. Although there may be confusion, one thing is definitely certain that the ad ministration is doing all in its power to stem the tide which some, rightly or wrongly, are pushing toward all-out war. It seems that the critics have overlooked many things. The fact that the administra tion had the support of such men as the late Senator Arthur Vendenburg in shaping pol icy is overlooked. There’s John Foster Dulles, a prominent Republican, who has worked with the administration and possi bly has had much to do with shaping its pol icy in the Far East. Then the Republicans are divided within their own ranks, and instead of offering a clear-cut policy oi their own before attack ing tite opposition they go off on a tangent, worshiping a patched idol hatched in the Orient. A nu: i) :>y Ruth Taylor It was raining last Sunday afternoon so I settled down to read a new book on Democ racy. It was a really good book, appraising our way of life, explaining its advantages over other forms of government and empha sizing the duties of all citizens. And, quite unintentionally, it pointed out one of our great errors. Communism, Nazism, and Racism began with capital letters - but Democracy was al ways printed with a small “d”. Isn't that one of our weaknesses? We take Democracy so much for granted that we just don’t begin it with a capital “D". Would the ideologies based upon the ty ranny of individuals, party or state, have had such a mushroom growth, if we, as indi viduals, or as a nation, had thought and ex pressed Democracy with a Big “D”? We could have shown them the way to the security of freedom - but we spelt Democra cy with a small “d". If we had sold our prin ciples instead of our follies to the world; if we had pointed out our- t« a pi ish m on t s instead of making wise-cracks about our foibles, would we be faced with a world holocaust? If we had spelt Democracy with a capital D, could we have averted war? It we believe in Democracy, we must spell it with a big D. We must bear witness to our faith before the world. We must gi\c to it the same last whole hearted measure ol hc votion that the followers of other “ism" ve to their beliefs. We must dignify our b *lief bv our actions and our speech. This is not the time to let up - or to let down. What other peoples and other na'ions think of Democracy will be based on biw dynamic we make its appeal. We out selves are the only advertisement for our way oi life. Let us take care to be good ones. Indiana Is Rifght A whole body of questions about Stat end Federal relationships may be involved in the suggestion of the Federal Security Ar mey that it may withhold Federal funds from In diana where State law requires that he names of persons on relief be made a matter of public record. The real question, however, is whether any spending of public funds should be kept a secret from the public. Probably no dogma is dearer to the heart of many professional social workers than that embodied in provisions in Federal laws against the disclosure of the names of per sons on relief. Such provisions, thc\ insist, protect relief recipients from humiliation Also though the social workers do not in sist on this the provision against publicity protects social workers from publicity, too. ff they are giving the relief to the wrong people—to the favored or the undeserving— the law keeps that knowledge from the guh ..'w which urovides the money. It may undoubtedly be true mat some" worthy and .mhnmw rylkif cruelly shamed before their' neighbors by making the names of those on relief a mat ter of public record. Under the Federal sys tem, however, well-to-do children can safe ly have their parents or, relief without any danger that their neighbors might kr.ow that they were shoving tin old folks off on the State. There is not anything shameful about not'd or aid. It is a mistake to treat it as something which is shameful. There is, how ever, something shameful going on when the wrong people arc put on the relief rolls and protected on them from any public scru tiny and not only protected in the possibility of corruption but in the even greater respon sibility of ineptitude. No people, including the best social workers are good enough or wise enough, to operate public programs without full public scrutiny. In the long run the wisest social workers will wish for them selves the constant corrective of publicity. The sentimental desire to protect some rc i lief clients from humiliation is much less important than the sensible course of doing the public’s business — even its most merci ful and philanthropic business—in public. In this State-Federal conflict as to policy Indiana proposes a much wiser, safer and even more humanitarian course than the Federal policy embodied in the Federal law. Nobody is protected when public money is dispensed in privacy under any pretentious, sentimental or plausible excuse. News and Observer. . I'rohlvm Or Situalitm By Ruth Taylor The other day I was talking with a friend about a serious play of “social significance”. We had not enjoyed the performance and were trying to figure out what was wrong with us that#we did not like such a potent drama. Finally we arrived at a conclusion. What had offended us was that the play wright had made a problem out of a situa tion. The more I thought about this the more clearly I could see in it a fatal failing of many of us AVe make problems out of sit uations and, in dramatizing them, lose our own perspective . What is the difference? A situation has its funny side, a problem never. A situation can be walked away from or out of, a problem cannot be left behind. A situation is a com bination of circumstances, or a condition as modified or determined by surroundings. A problem is a perplexing question, demanding settlement. I know one person who confuses the two, with the result that her life is always full of turmoil and upsets. The world is either all wrong - or coming to an end. Trifles are mountains. If events do not follow the course she has mapped out, then the day is ruined! She never has lime to enjoy the little plea sure of life, because she is always seeing a problem in a situation and is so occupied by the problem, she overlooks how easily the situation can be changed by changing the surroundings. So it is much of tin1 troubles that beset us as individuals, as a nation, as a world. We are determined to make problems out of simple human equations. We dam groups, never realizing that we don’t live with groups but just with a comparatively few people and that we are free to change our surroundings if we don’t like them. Wo treat the entire world like a gigantic jig-saw puzzle and try to crowd in the parts where we want them to go, irrespective of size or color. Life for most of us is not a problem. It is a situation which by dint of a sense of humor, careful application to oui own work, and a friendly spirit, we can make go our way just as often as the other. Change the situation and forget the prob lem! Ilohl Time l.ine—For the Other (lay North Carolina’s 1951 General Assembly held the line for the other guy, but it let the purse strings way out when it came to its own fare. The Assembly itself cost the tax payers of North Carolina $480,000 or $1:19,000 more than the 1949 session cost. And after careful appraisal, it simply wasn’t worth the 1949 amount not to mention the increase. “Sir,” he began stutteringly, as he faced her father's stern gaze, “I’ve come to ask you for vour daughter’s hand.” -*.
