- In the past few days petitions to place the name of
Dwight D. Eisenhower on the Republican primary ballot
for the presidential nomination have' been circulated here.
The response, as we think most would have predicted, has
been favorable, but reports by those Interviewing prospective
signers indicate both a lack of knowledge and a desire for
information as to the candidate's social and political beliefs
and his attitude on uomesuc wuw. , .
It is natural, perhaps, that there should b3 this lack in

nor have they been persistently repeated. It follows that they

lul advertiser knows, is a necessary adjunct to a retentive
memory. 1 , .. ,
Nevertheless Dwight D. Eisenhower is on record and
the record is peculiarly significant in the fact that it was
made months before any civil political responsibility had been
accepted. Some samples from the record are in order. .
Regarding the socialistic trend so apparent under the
present administration, he warned three years ago at a Co
lumbia college forum ;
If we allow this constant drift toward centralized burcauoratlo
' government to continue, finally the governmental function will bo
expressed in terms far exceeding the necessary one of laying .
; down Ihe rules and laws for governing each of us in his dally
:. actions to Insure that we do not take unfair advantage of our com- 1
rades and other citizens. Government will be the actual field of
operation. There will be a swarming of bureaucrats over the land.
Ownership of property will gradually drift Into that central gov
ornmont and finally you would have to have dictatorship as the
' only means of operating such a huge and great organization.
Pretty definite, that. Even more pointed was this state
ment, made also in 1949 in, an address to the Saint Andrews
society : ' . ' ' . . ' - ;
. Jefferson, a man we recognize as the great liberal of. his time, .
said, "The best government is the least government." Now we rec
' ognize the degree to which we have changed when we come to
' see that the nefinitlon of a liberal is a man who, in Washington,
wante to play the Alipighty with pur money. . --
In 1948, on the occasion of his' installation as president
of Columbia, Eisenhower enriched the record with his. opinion
of communism and fascism in the following sound pronounce.
. ment: 'v.. . ", ;.' '. ' 1 ,. ' : .:
The truth about communism Is, today, an Indispensable require
ment if the true values of our democratic system are to be prop
erly assessed. Ignorance of communism,, fascism, or any other
police-state philosophy is far more dangerous than ignorance of
the most virulent disease, ..,
As a military expert, General Eisenhower has been and is
closely identified with theeffort -toi-coordinate the defense
of western Europe under the North Atlantic Treaty organi
zation and, In Washington in February, 1951, he told the
United States .congress : . ,
Western Europe is so important to our future, our future is so
definitely tied up with them that wd cannot afford to do less than
our best in making sure that it docs not go down the drain.
Rut while thus endorsing military aid he repudiated the
idea thnt the United States "can pick up the world on its
economic, finnnciul and military shoulders and carry it."
As to Korea, he stated in 1950 that the American decision
to resist the invasion of South Korea was "inescapable."
On corruption in government, this, in 1950 :
Eft
It would do no good to defend our liberties against communist
aggression and lose them to our own greed, blindness or shiftless
reliance on bureaucracy and the federal treasury.
' On taxation, later in the same year :
How far can a government go in taxing away properly rights
and si 111 not li iive the government the master of the people instead
of their servant?
And on inflation, in a 1950 address at Columbiu ;
' Inflation, 'born of Ihe unbalanced budget nullities every in
come gain of worker and farmer.
Yes, Dwight. I). Eisenhower is on record, definitely so,
even if his utterances in the post-war years have been some
what overlooked. The samples in the foregoing paragraphs
arc offered in evidence and the evidence, as it seems to us, is
well worth considering.

Court at San Diego.

in Manna ne married a t nipino
girl named Celia Mariano, said
to be a native beauty. '
Pomeroy issued a statement, af
ter that. "When I came back to
the Islands," he said, "I left my
parents and my brother in the
States. I took a native wife so I
would have no divided Interest.".
Toaether they went into the
hills, the Sierra Madre mountains
and the Tanay mountains east of
Manila, which have been wuk
strongholds.

soon placed Pomeroy and his wife

to modify the old Common Law

to public lands patented lifter the

waters, in order that they might
become subject to aipropriation
and use, elsewhere, for mining, ir

adoption of slale water codes, nd

rights of all claimants on a stream,

So, before accenting C. Girard

take a look at what other bright

Shortly afler Pearl Harbor, or
on January 21. 1942. Ihe Navy De
partment, through Ihe Deparlment
. of Justice, moved, in Southern Cal
ifornia, to acquire around DIM
acres of Ihe old Santa Margarita
Kancho, for a naval ' ammunilinn
depot. Tne procedure then, how
ever, was smelly in accordance
with the "Law of the Land." The
U. S. Attorney General, while ad
vising thai it had become neces
sary lo acquire Ihe property
through the exercise of the gov
ernment's power of eminent do
main, gave assurances that all
properly owners concerned would
be justly compensated.

Some time later, for Ihe purpose
of establishing Camp Pendleton, a
Marine camp near Oceanside and
Fnllbrook. Calif., Hie government
grabbed 12.1,600 more Kancho San
ta Margarita acres displacing 14,
000 owners of land and long cslab
llshed water rights. Acling, how
ever, upon the advice of a group
of legal "shave tails", Attorney
general McGrath ictuses lo recog
nize any claimed waler rights; and
has instituted a gigantic suit to
nullify all such claims ami without
compensating the owners.
Says the Attorney General's
leading legal "shave lull": "We
are going lo litigate Ihe question
ot whether California stale laws,
for the administration of water
rights, supercede the constitution
ai law of the government, in re
gard lo exclusive jurisdiction." So.
they propose lo seize llieie Santa
I Margarita waler rights land with
out compensating Ihe owners) un
der a doctrine of "paramount" and
"sovereign" federal powers. The
Deparlment o Juslice has declared
its intention to overthrow and in
validate slate water laws and sub

all such rights -all to the tunc of

Then at the end of January
came a report that he was ser

group to a Huk conference in
central Luzon,
U. S. Army records piece out
the background of the story. He
was born at Waterloo, N. Y., Nov.
25, 1916. He was drafted at Roch

was 25 years old.
He .was shipped out of Califor

But he had a flair for writing
and he was soon assigned to pub
