Top men chosen by Eisenhower for his cabinet are with no exception all business men, classed as practical and experienced leaders. There is no objection to millionaires be ing in the cabinet, but there will be some objection if they advance the same ideas that surrounded the downfall of the nation in 1929 when business ruled the roost with out am opposition whatever from any quarter. It the millionaire business men propose to place the burden of maintaining prosperity on the backs of farmers and workers, the country can expect another 1929. Big husi Ui ss can i expect to apply the rule of suppiv and demand to the farmer unless there is some i liort to maintain order, and at the same tune manipulate the industrial supply by interlocking directorates and gentlemen agreements. The idea o! cutting everything loose to run its course has been tried undci perfect conditions It is just as important to apply common sense in keeping the economy in balance as it is for th" president of a giant corporation to study his markets and gear production to the demand. J oo many arc crying about socialism in agriculture when they are really interested iii seeing the farmer feed the nation at a loss and the worker toil for less than a liv ing, wage. - —ur -ftppnrrmtiy titiUlfPil The Republicans arc ignoring a golden op portunity to prove thcii stand on corruption by remaining lukewarm or downright indif lerent to die Inigo slush fund scandals glow ing out ol the lust national election. (July token interest is being centered in the hearings, and yet big spending in elec tion campaigns is threatening the very foun dation, of our government, from top to bot tom. 11 some poor, underpaid government worker had accepted a deep freeze or a coat for his wife, the Republican press would have used boxcar letters on the front pages to tell about it. 'Judging from the way the Republican press dropped corruption as a hot potato, the nation can expect little in the wav of a clean-up in Washington any time soon. Of course, the friendless one will be exposed, and the incompetent will be replaced by others just about as incompetent. Rr The tongue is in a wet place, therefore, it is apt to slip when gouig very fast.— Ex. Kite-' I altinbh’ — HmnMf With Cart From the National Safety Council Let’s wrap up Christmas safely this year ai\d end the joyous holiday season with few er broken homes. The holiday season is significant of life. Yet every yuletide hundreds of lives are studied out or ruined by careless accidents. Most of the deaths and injuries are in traffic mishaps. The National Safety Coun cil has found that the daily traffic death toll (hiring the Christmas holiday season is slightly more than twice the annual daily average Family gatheiings and other fes tivities of the year-end holiday season bring the peal: Level of the wintei.and when more cars are on the move then' is more chance of an accident Early darkness plus had weather add up to poor visibility. Fogged windshields also make it difficult to so« and avoid accident sit nations. Rain, snow and ice mean s'«pperly streets and highways, hut thousands of holiday drivers fail to adjust their speed to hazard ous conditions. The good fellowship of the season stimu lates more drinking and too often the celebrants clink glasses with dealii. An accident can be tragic at any time, but at Christmas it is doubly so. And yet the Christmas season is ruined in thousands of homes every year by suffering and tragedy from accidents that need never have hap pened. Many a Christmas tree and gaily upped gift have become -mocking re minders of someone not there to enjoy them The traditional spirit of Christmas is "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men." A little extra caution, courtesy and common sense can keep this spirit alive and help re duce holiday accidents. Remember that your life is the most val uable present you can give your family or friends. Handle it with care. Don’t lose ii in the holiday rush. Don't let death take your holiday! ill Mixed l/> They .still call Korea Truman’s “police action”, hut it is possible that the name will be changed now that a military man from the opposition party is moving to Washing ton to take over. It is a well established fact that Truman acted on Korea on the advice of the military, but Marry took the abuse that was hardly to be expected from gangsters. General MacArthur, plainly on record as favoring the “police action,” made a mess of things in Korea, but he is coming back wilh a plan to end it. Let it be hoped that he can do something to stop it. but let it be hoped also that lie will not run tens of thousands of poorly equipped, men up the Korean peninsula to freeze to death in or near the Yalu River. It has been a popular plan among many Republicans to talk about turning the ghast ly business over to the South Koreans. Pic ture the Civil War in this country and re cord your reaction should a friendly power come into the South while destruction star t'd at us from every side and tell us to get reads- and bear all the brunt of the fighting, it would be well it it could be handled that way, but it is hardly reasonable to expect a little nation like South Korea wilh twenty million population to fight and hold off in definitely a nation with more than 400 mil lion population, supported by Russia. Conditions and thinking arc really mixed up over Korea these days. Hut super-duper Mr. Mac is on the inarch again. Frankly, we expect nothing of value coming from his way, but we’ll bow it he does measure up even half way to his claim. And to mix the mixture just a bit more, one recalls Candidate Eisenhower mixing Korea as a big.factor in politics just before November 4, and now one sees the new President wrestling with one of his biggest problems right in Korea. (oiitntry ftirt» The new administration is said to be plan ning to discard containnymt of Russia as a basic objective. The new group about to in vade Washington proposes to let the people behind the Iron Curtain know what this country stands for. It is not quite clear just how the Repub licans plan to get behind the Iron Curtain with tlie tacts. It is in the record, however, that the Republicans helped slash funds for the Voice of America, the best agency yet created for reaching behind the Curtain. Then there is the little matter of expenses. The Republicans, with the help of a Byrd, are going to reduce taxes, so they say. While reducing taxes they are going to tell the people behind the Iron Curtain all the facts, win friends, halt aggression and all for free, maybe. Proposed action is contrary to the facts so boldly entered in the old records. All moral obligation resolves itself into the obligation of conformity to the will of God. Charles llodge.
