Robert Taft might get the' Presidential
nomination at the hands ot the Republicans,
but if he ever reaches the White House it
will be by accident. The man is running no
true course, and his destination will be
reached only if he stumbles upon it.
He changes his course more often with
the wind, and each change is occasioned to
favor the line of least resistance. He goes
along one day with a guy named McCarthy,
the fellow who covers up one falsehood
with another, and the next day he moves
away from him.
His record on foreign affairs is contradic
tory. leaving few knowing just where lie
stands or what he would do should he be
elected. On the domestic front he is safe
at home with the old conservative group
who favor lower taxes for the rich and high
er taxes for the poor, subsidies for the cor
porations and no consideration for the little
guys.
He plays up to the South on one hand
and sends out bales of literature for distri
bution in the North, proclaiming a firm
stand in support of FEPC and civil rights.
In all that maze of facts and confusion,
Taft might reach the White House, but it
will be only because he just stumbled into
it.
I r responsible
There appears to have been some irre
sponsibility behind the action taken by the
American Legion at its recent meeting in
Miami. Some have suggested that Louis
Johnson, the deposed head of the Depart
ment of Defence, had a hand in proposing
the virtual “overthrow” of the goyernment.
It is bad enough when behind the mask
of politics one suggests tearing his govern
ment to pieces, but it is really disturbing to
see a great organization in a duly constitut
ed meeting take such action as that advanc
ed in the Florida city.
While irresponsible ones are trying to
Lear down the government they sin aid stop
and think that peace and everything else
that's good in the sight of righteous man can
be had by cooperation. Some have overlook
ed the fact that the State Department could
be right in its policy, that there are some
irresponsible ones who would wreck the
Department just for spite, knowing the de
partment is right.
The Tax Itill
Byrd and Company, carrying the reac
tionary-conservative banner, really scored
with u lop-sided and wholly inadequate tax
bill before quitting Washington a short time
ago . .
It was 3yrd who led the group in taik
ing about a “pay-as-you-go” policy. But
when it came time to act, they
Eliminated a proposed increase in capital
gains. rates,
Gave a better advantage to the wealthy
on income tax rates.
Wiped out the provision for withholding
on dividends,
Made a sieve out of the tax plan by allow
ing escape provisions on excess profits
taxes.
And passed around a juicy plum pie
sweetened with millions for depletion.
When the pay-as-you-go crowd got
through mutilating the tax bill, they had
whittled it down by nearly two biilion dol
lars—mostly for the big fellows.
The end of learning is to know God, and
out of that knowledge to love him, and to
imitate him, as we may the nearest, by
possessing our souls of true virtue.—Milton.
How empty learning, how vair, is art, but
as it mends the life and guides the heart.
—Young.
Can phi In The Middle
Other than those who worked or conniv
ed for individual gain, there are quite a few
who are being caught in the middle in
Washington.
A constituent goes to Washington, seek
ing an RFC loan. An appeal is made to a
congressman or friend in the capital for
guidance and help. If the congressman or
friend does not respond and help the con
stituent their willingness to serve is ques
tioned. If the congressman even as much as
introduces the prospective borrower, he is
branded as an influence peddler.
It has just about reached the point where
it is unsafe for a public servant to even
speak or nod his head for fear itV M'd: be
branded us a communist sympathizer or an
influence peddler. Little has Deen said
about those who have gone to bat in the tax
rooms lor special tax concessions or deple
tion allowances for the few or worked for
the big hand outs to big corporations under
the amortization scheme.
Por lit1 Ik I list roil of Pocket Kooks
Of course, to even mention it would
make him appear as a bull in a China shop,
but why in the world hasn’t some fashion
designer come out with skirt pockets.
Since the members of the fair sex have
taken over so many places for years reserv
ed for the men, it would seem only reason
able for them to have pockets in their skirts
and rule out the purchase of so everlastingly
many pocket books. It's a new pocket book i
every time there’s a new dress, shoe or hat. |
It is even alleged that some start out with a
new pocket book or handbag and buy coat,
dress, hat and shoes to match.
One It if! Cal Unlit
The appointment of General Mark Clark
to the Vatican is rapidly developing into
one big cat light with the religious leaders
stirring up a stink smelling to high heaven.
There are those who are sincere in their
stand against the appointment. Then there
are those who are making capital of the
political angle.
Those who can see in the appointment a
political advantage are for it. And then one
wonders if the religious issue would have
been such a hot subject had the brand been
of a different sect.
Maybe, we need more religion in state af
fairs, but it will have to be nurtured by the
individual and come about by an indirect
route, and not by a direct tie with any cer
tain group or sect.
The damage being caused in the religious
world will greatly overshadow any possible
good that can come from tin- appointment
of an ambassador to the domain of the Pope
in Rome.
i
Innuendo
Speaking before a group a short time ago,
a politician defended the Security Act and
went on to say that too much attention
should not be paid to those who “would
wreck reputations by innuendo.’’
If the record is recalled correctly, the
same fellow who was doing that talking
figured prominently in one of those innu
endo campaigns not too long ago. And while
he is in position to know the ruthless mean
ing of such tactics, it is appaling to hear
him brazenly mention such tactics. Any
man who can gain an end by such means
and then even warn against such tactics
was. no doubt, conveniently born without a
conscience and has no business in a position
of trust
Hurd To Relieve
It is hard to believe that the president of a
great university would resort to falsehoods
to gain publicity for himself or discredit his
fellow man.
The evidence as released from recognized
sources clearly indicates that Harold Stasser.
either has a (unity memory or else he delib
erately misrepresented the truth in an ef
fort to discredit Phillip Jessup who was
named as a delegate to the United Nations.
It is evident that something’s rotten be
sides in Denmark. And those poor creatures
with weak knees in the United States Sen
ate who would stand by and join in the lowr
down business should be relieved of their
duties.
The Do nit
Look to this day, for it is life, the very
life of life. In its brief course lie all the
verities and realities of your existence; the
bliss of growth, the glory of action, the
splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a
dream, and tomorrow is but a vision, but
today well lived makes every yesterday a
dream of happiness and every tomorrow a
vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this
day.—The Ohio Mason.
