LET'S HAVE
By Charles V. Stanton
Are the American people to be kept in ignorance of
military needs? Are we to be placed under the control of
thought police? Is our military force to be organized as is
Russia's with a political commissar holding authority
over military experts? Has our welfare state reached the
point where it is to permit us to hear only the propaganda
it feeds us? These are some questions we should begin
asking ourselves.
Administration crackdowns on statements by Navy Sec
retary Matthews and General MacArtluir are serious vio
lations of American custom.
It has always been generally accepted policy that the
American people were qualified to sift and weigh opinions
and facts and to act upon them in a reasonably intelligent
manner. The right of free speech is guaranteed under our
Constitution. That right should apply to all, including ofu
cials of our armed services.
President Truman and his State department have en
dcavored to gag two men at
organization. Because the experts did not follow the "party
line," efforts were made to prevent their opinions from
reaching the public. Fortunately a free press was not to be
gagged and the public knows the opinions of these two men
and those opinions sharply contradict State department pol
icies. People Entitled To Hear Opinion
It is of no concern whether we believe either General
MacArthur or Secretary Matthews to be right or wrong in
the opinions they express. Right or wrong, they are entitled
to speak their minds. They are men in possession of facts
known to but few people. They are in positions to formu
late definite ideas concerning policies this country should fol
low. The public should be permitted to hear these opinions,
even if we do not all agree with them.
If the American people are to have their sons and
daughters drawn into military service, then they have -a
right to know what military experts believe to be the proper
course for us to follow in promoting our defense. The facts
made available to us should not be based upon political ex
pediency. Successfully fighting a war in Korea, and bring
ing it to early completion, is far more important than the
issue of who shall win the congressional election.
Time For People To Act a
In our opinion, it is high time the American people
were putting an end to these tactics of administration lor
the welfare of the pitrty i rather than the welfare of the
country. It is time that we put into office men in whom we
can impose trust and confidence. It is time to get back to
Constitutional ways of government and to the traditionally
American method of doing things.
We can make a good start this fall. We should turn
thumbs down on every candidate who even hints of follow
ing the socialist line, the Welfare state, the New Deal, Fair
Deal or any "deal" not strictly in accordance with tra
ditional American policy.
If American citizens ever had need to give thought to
their ballots, now is the time.
Our expression of determination to clcjui up our govern
mental mess should start at the grans roots. We should
elect, from the lowest to the highest nfjice in the land, only
men in whom we can impose implicit confidence, knowing
that they Hre candidates because they desire to "do a job"
rather than to piny politics and ride on the socialistic band
wagon.

Jaycee Project
The civic minded Junior Cham
ber of Commrece held its semi
monthly meeting last night at the
Umpqua hotel and discussed a
highly significant problem of traf
fic safety.
According to Jack Towt. who is
in charge of investigating the
Roseburg traffic problem, the city
is in definate need of a safety
campaign. He noted that over the
weekend five cases of drunken
driving had come before the jus
tice court as well as one reckless
driver. For this reason, Towt said,
it is necessary to institute a "saf
ety drive to avert traffic acci
dents." He said he has contacted
the highway safely body in Sa'm
and asked for recommendations
relating to a possible campaign.
On the agenda starting today is
the Jaycee - sponsored driving
school, reported Bill Endicott,
chairman of the committee. The
driving school will begin operation
tonight at 7 o'clock with 16 women
students. The necessity to teach
women to drive was felt, according
to Endicott, because of the im
pending war situation which may
take many husbands whose wives
do not, know how to drive.
The school will be conducted
nights from 7:00 to 8:30 for a total
of four weeks.
On the social side, the Junior
Chamber has planned a party to
be held at the Moose hall Sept. 7
for members and their wvies and
guests.
