Government Edmund Burke said: “The only thing nec essary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Good men can win or they can lose elec tions. They can become so angered by evil in public office that they organize, and work and .above all, vote. Or they can be ho cer tain that good must triumph that they go to sleep—and let the other element winby default. It is quite apparent that good men are not always active men. Good must be pursued with the same aggressiveness that evil men put into the pusuil of their many objectives. There will be no attempt here to draw a line between1 members of the two major parties and say that all those on one side are evil and those on the other are good. Goodness can be determined only by the sincerity of the individual in seeking the best posisble result for his country. Obviously we have good men in both major parties. But the real test of their sincerity lies in their readiness to discard party ties if the Nation’s well-being calls for such action. No wwhat can the average man do as his share in assuring the proper functioning of government. From an organization called the Christophers come the following sugges tions, about as satisfying a list as one can find: 1. Keep informed. Inquire about manage ment of public affairs from authoritative sources. ) ■ 2. Pray that those in public office may render conscientious service. 3. Encourage men of character and com petence to dedicate themselves to public ser vice. 4. Study the candidates. Look up their re cords. 5. Attend precinct meetings. 6. -Participate in political meetings. 7. Check on the voting records of your rep resentatives. 8. Stimulate others to vote. 9. Offer your services for some pre-election chores. 10. Consider legitimate political activity as a moral obligation. 11. Express your preference under any circumstances. Those are all sound recommendations. Summed up, don’t they mean simply: Be ..interested, do your share If those rules are foiolwed everywhere evil cannot triumph. Good men will have balked it.—Rochester Democrat. It Depends Upon Who Ik Doinp The Sei*in(t Shortly after Pearl Harbor the taxpayers of this nation financed a steel plant in Utah to the tune of $191,325,000. After the war the United States Steel Corporation literally siezed that plant for $44,175,000, leaving the taxpayers with a bag from which $144,151, 000 had been taken. Yes, it was legal, so they say. But the steel magnates, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers said nothing about the deal, and the lobbyists working right in the United States Congress were not called communists and no one was charged with trying to push this country down the social ism road. Now, when war rages across the sea and American lives are at stake the government steps In tq avoid a tragedy and is immediate ly challenged by that notorious gang who stood by silently and watched while one fcimA# and forty-four million dollars were out of the taxpayers’ pockets. The lyer was told a fantastic story 'then, it is fairly apparent that he is being told fantastic story about the steel seiz today. Same Thing Only Different Property has been taken over when labor faltered and gummed up the works and the action was never considered serious. Now, when management fumbles from blunder to blunder and the government takes over the steel industry, loud wails are heard from all over. IS lab<H could-haw ht on pb-eed at a •!— advantage, "fhcTsteeT magnate's would have thought nothing about government seizure. In fact, the inn ests would have been de manding government action, whooping it up about slowing down defense efforts and blowing about individual patriotism. The facts in the case show that the steel companies are making much more now than they did before the Korean war, that after wage increases, the income per ton remains considerably higher than it was just a short time ago. j When labor, rightly or wrongly, demands I more, industry talks about the terrible effect a wage increase will have on the economy. Then industry comes along and asks more than labor, and nothing is said about the terrible effect a price increase will have on the antion’s economy. It is about time for industry to stop talking about high wages and burdensome taxes and start admitting that it is’making more money, clear money, than ever before in all history, that high profits are a factor in the economy as well as high wages and high prices. Of Little Faith While it may be all right to carry a big stick during these troublous times, it would seem that many of our lawmakers are men of little faith. They readily vote billions of dollars for war and then argue over meager amounts asked for the relief of the needy at home and abroad. There’s no objection to appro priations made for our own protection, but those appropriations within themselves hardly can be expected to solve the probelm. We must exprses faith in our fellowmen, adhere more closely to Christian principles and not only provide power and might but also follow through with economic aid and understanding. Reality Crowding Out The Symbol As military man, Eisenhower rates as an idol, possibly rightly so. But reality iscibe* ginning to crowd out the symbol, and Ike, the politician, is placed by his own word on the side of the private interests in the tide lands oil controversy. The General along with most of the Re publicans, plus our own Hoey-Smith, would have the American people pay taxes to maintain the Coast Guard, dredge the inlets, bays, sounds and rivers and patrol the seas, but would push the people back and turn over the resources therein to the few for more or less private exploitation. Eisenhower hasn’t announced his position on many public issues outside the realm of foreign policy, but it is apparent that he looks to far right. Stilirell Liven Again General Joe Stilwell—they called him “Vinegar Joe”— lives again. Relieved of his command by cunning corruptionists because he dared report the truth about General Chiang Kai-shek, General Stilwell tried to warn the people of this nation about what was going on in China, but the old China Lobby and a few Air Force officers, fatten ing at the trough of corruption, had him discredited. The old General is dead, but in exposing the contemptible China Lobby, “The Report er”, a magazine of national circulation, makes him live again in the hearts of real Americans. The magazine expose and the "Letters of General Stilwell’’ leave little for the China Lobby gang to hold on to. Another Round Remember back yonder when irish pota toes were wild topic o{ conservation, how everything was going socialistic because an effort was made to keep production in line with demand. Yes, the program cost quite a few millions. But the reactionaries finally choked the program to death with their propaganda, and the consumers were thrown to the mer cy of the manipulators and speculators, pay ing quite a few million dollars more when the potato wandered around as an indepen dent chamipnn on its very own. Well, the growers did not get rich at their end of the line and the consumer was made poorer at his end of the line. Reports maintain that a relatively small acreage is being planted to the crop, so the consumer is warned to hold his hat and make ready for a rough ride. Without Consistency there is no moral strength.—Owen. 'Qno Vadis' Comes ToiheViccarSoon Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting of “The Last Supper” served as the inspiration for one of memorable scenes depicting holy moments in "Quo Vadis," M-0 -.MV specter ular Technicolor ,n a pagan world, which comes to ‘he Viccar Theatre here soon, l/sed in an ingenious “effort se quence” of the picture, Director Mervyn LeRoy reproduced “The Last Supper” in a photograph scene which captured the most minute details of the religious painting, with the Italian actor, Giorgio Constantini portraying the Savior. Similar “effect” shots were used to re-create other great moments in religious history for “Quo Vadis." One shows Finlay Currie, as Peter, supported by Abraham Sofaer, cast us Paul, addressing u group of Christians who are meeting in secret in an abandon ed quarry. Another scene, shown during the speech of Peter to the Christians, depicts Christ passing through a shouting mob of peo ple on the streets of Jerusalem as He carries the cross on which He will be crucified. For a scene showing the crucifixion of Peter, famous paintings hanging in the Vatican in Rome were used as models. -# Americans eat more livestock and livestock products than the 1 people of any other country. In 1949 we used 14 per cent more meat and 13 per cent more milk and cream than we did before the ’ war. Our use of eggs in 1949 was ■ 27 per cent higher than the 1935 39 uveiage.
