APPRECIATION FOR CHERO
KEE EDITORIAL
Editor The Mountaineer:
On behalf of the Board of Trus-j
tees of the Cherokee Historical As
sociation. Inc., I want to thank you
personally for your interest and1
opinions expressed in your Editori-I
al of the March 30th issue.
As you know, there is a wide dif
ference of opinion, but few people!
of the general public appreciate the!
expense of preparing and distribut
ing tourist information and litera
ture. The issue has become con
fused by reason of our using this!
service as a credit to wipe out an!
existing obligation.
Perhaps it would have been bet-i
ter to pay the debt and ask for an
appropriation from the State for]
operating the information service.:
It all amounts to the same thing,!
but we would not have been ac
i tused of establishing a precedent.
Yours sincerely,
J. L. Kilpatrick.
Trustee.

The letter exceeds the 300-word;

of this newspaper, and therefore'

one-world government will come,
' probably in the normal course of
a progressing world civilization,
without any bloodshed. But to put
a tremendous amount of energy
now into a one-world government
would be a grave mistake.
At present we have to channel
our energy into establishing a firm
foundation for broader internation
1 al cooperation. We must first raise
the standard of living, of health, of
education, of fellowship, all over
the world to the standard known in
the United States, contain Com
munism to the places where it is
now, and even hope to stamp out
Communism in Russia. Then, in a
few years from now, let's start
talking about one-world govern
ment and then ag^in, let's not just
talk about it, let's take the neces
sary action. At that time the mem
bers of the popular movement can
start a one-world government in a
very, very short time.
A world government to promote
1 the mutual interests of the various
nations, as our own national gov
1 ernment promotes the mutual in
I terests of the individual States.
No congress or administration
i can go further or faster than we,
I the people, want to go. We want to
; go fast and we want to go far. We
! want to make better people out of
ourselves and we want to improve
the lives of 2 billion other people.
It can be done and. it will be
done if we. the people, are ready
to start living.
The road to hell and war is pav

with nothing but sacrifices and
