GAME CALLED ' rounders :
SET YOU FREE”
MUST THE TAXPAYER FINANCE THE
DELIVERY OF NAZI PROPAGANDA?
Recent investigations reveal that tons of foreign
propaganda, mostly of German origin, are being deliv­
ered throughout the United States—and at the expense
of the taxpayer. Under the International Postal
Union, the country from which mail is sent retains all
the postage and the country of destination delivers it
free. So all Germany has to do is to print up a lot of
stamps and get the material into United States ports
obliging Uncle Sam does the rest free.
Reciprocity was the basis of the Postal Union, but
we are certainly gaining no benefits from this one­
sided flood of propaganda. We have no minister of
propaganda to launch a counter attack and if we did,
the material would get no further than the nazi censor.
Surely some legislation should be enacted, so that we
at least are not compelled to be unwilling financial
backers of the fifth column.

DEMOCRACY BEGINS AT HOME!
To those of us who are somewhat tired of the
voluminous writings of news commentators and other
“experts” on world-saving there was a refreshing note
found in an article by J. P. McEvoy in the last issue of
This Week Magazine. The author of “A Letter to My­
self” has discovered that perhaps his responsibilities
are a little closer home that attempts to remodel the
world and to reform the leaders. So in this New Year
letter to himself he writes:
“....... this year I want to start right off shrinking
that world outlook of yours. Scale it down through the
nation, the state, county, township, village, neighbor­
hood, the house next door, your own house, and finally
—but right away please—to you....... stop stewing
about our international relations.... stop worrying
about the national budget and balance your own ....
stop griping about how much the government owes and
pay up those instalments on the car, the refrigerator
and that last baby .... stop grousing about the extrav­
agance of this generation compared to the thrift of our
pioneer ancestors—fix those leaky faucets, turn off
those lights. The nation is getting soft, and it worries
you. Take a couple of those spare tires off your own
waist.
“ .... You will be told that Democracy is something
you should be eager to rush out and die for. Don’t
argue the point. The time and energy is better spent
living for Democracy than arguing about it. Democracy
is a vague generality as long as you think of it in terms
of everybody else; it is very definite and personal when
you realize that Democracy is You. There can be no
honest government without an honest citizenry. Na­
tional government is the sum total of local govern­
ments. And local governments are fashioned out of you
and your neighbors.... If you must have a crusade I
for 1941, don’t try to save the world for Democracy.
You tried that before. Save Democracy—by saving
yourself.”
