When opportunity presents itself, out urday and Hunday comes the ax and the grinding be­ gins. When public opinion grows weary, the coats go on again and we hear high-sounding phrases that make ux forget the little axes, to be ground again at the first op­ portunity. Intrigue of this nature had its beginnings in Europe. The favor of the court or the ear of the dic­ tator was gained in this manner. Ax grinding was a custom of Eu­ ropean politics at its worst. France is a shining example. It stands today a victim of the ax grinders. More important, this pastime is unAmerican and undemocratic.

If it is. then let’s quit grinding axes and start sharpening »words. We have a great task ahead it we are to pre­ serve democracy. In fact, it is one of the most gigantic tasks ever to face a nation. Our task is twofold; first, to produce the arms and ammunition to make the Unit­ ed States sate from the attack of any nation or group of nations. ■Second, to decide the proper poli­ cies to ire carried out with regard to aid to Great Britain and carry them out with the utmost effi­ ciency. When are these things in need of accomplishment? The obvious answer is NOW! Can this uphill task of producing billions of dollars worth of ammunition .nd equipment, with so little time left in which to do it, be accom­ plished with the handicap of peo­ ple applying the brake to the wheel of uction because they have an ax to grind? The answer is again equally obvious. Not a min­ ute can we afford to lose. Every hour is precious. This is no time for log jams to stand in the way of a supreme effort to preserve democracy for a great people. Maneuvering and devious ways should be outlawed. Democracy can only lie preserved by straight­ forward, frank and open methods. Democracy was founded on the basic premise that wisdom could, be found in the composite think­ ing of the people of a nation. Un­ der true democracy you and I are given credit for sound judgment and practical opinions. Our ad­ vice and thoughts are to be sought in a frank manner because all to­ gether we comprise what is known us the American people. We have a common will which is an Amer­ ican way of life. We have a com­ mon determination which is the preservation of a democratic way of life. When government permits pres­ sure groups to sell it on the idea that facts should be doctored or withheld from the people because they might not understand, or that people should be regulated by law ■>r administrative decisions they don’t want because a pressure group decided it's good for them, lhen it’s time to face the cold fact that democracy has ceased to function.
