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.

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.

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.
