Page 2 Heppner Gazette Times,. Thursday, October 12, 1950 EDITOR I A L NEWS PA Pit PUBLISHER! ASSOCIATION NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASVbCH I An Important Decision There is something far more important than personalities in the current race for Governor of Oregon. Under conditions as existed a generation or so ago it would be a matter of deciding which man the voter liked best. Today it is vastly dif ferent. The voters must decide between preserving our American way of life as pertains to private enterprise and the continuing trend towards stat ism. or socialism, to be more direct Mr. McKay's record as a legislator and as a governor leave no doubt in the minds of the people as to which side he represents. Mr. Flegel, who as a legislator sponsored and stood for meas ures that proved embarrassing as a candidate for governor, finds it easier to get along with the government ownership of power boys and other crackpot elements of the Democratic party by the simple expedient of reversing his former stand and beliefs. In order to capture votes he has come all-out for the National Administration program of deficit spending, for government ownership of power in fact, the whole socialist program which, whether or not planned with that purpose in view, is surely and definitely swinging the nation to wards a state of complete regimentation. Election of Flegel will be one big step towards realization of the Columbia Valley Authority and the eventual taking over of all public utility ser vices by the central government. All that is need ed is to get a socialistic state regime, which na turally would follow election of a so-called demo, crat to the governor's chair and the stage would be set for carrying out the ambitions of the gov ernment ownership planners. There is no cause for a change of administra tion in Oregon this year or any year so long as we have capable leadership such as Mr. McKay is ffivinff us. His oav-as-we-go policy is iust plain good horse sense. It is not to the liking of the deficit spending boys but if we guess the temper of the people of Oregon correctly they will not want to change sensible government for the type of management we are bound to nave u mi. r ie gel should get into office.

It took the Korean war to make us realize that as a world power we are at present woefully weak ; militarily; tnai Kussia is Dent upon world conquest, thus pre senting a real and direct threat to the United States, and that we must arm and prepare ourselves to an extent unparalleled in the history of the world. It is only natural tnat we should seek someone in high of ficial position upon which to heap the blame for the fact that in five short years we have tum bled from the very pinnacle of military power to our present pit ifully ineffective status. Yet, let us look with honesty into our own souls for the part we played in bringing about such a condi tion. Upon defeat of Japan our fore most demand was: ''Bring the boys home." Our military leaders gave us plenty of warning again, st too drastic curtailment of our military strength, but they were silenced by political Washington, yielding to public demand. Witn- out men in uniform, it became necessary to scrap, scuttle and abandon billions of dollars worth of military equipment. Furthermore, we developed a certain desperate hope that dip lomatic Washington would be able to cope with the problem of an expanding Russia. Now it ap. pears that most of us went into hiding behind the flimsy ram parts of pseudo isolationism. Smaller nations of Europe and Asia, prompted by fear to be more realistically aware of Rus sia's designs for world conquest, also raised their voices in warn ing. We brushed them off as alarmists. Official Washington in dealing with Russian agents within our borders, merely shrug ged an indifferent shoulder. But at last we are becoming aware of the Soviet master plan for world domination, and that all her military and civilian ef forts are keyed toward the ulti mate conquest of America the only remaining world power standing in the way o her ne farious ambitions. As a freedom -loving and peace. loving, people there are two things we want to escape bond age and war. These are two traits so deeply imbedded in most of us that they may rightfully be re ferred to as national character istics. Can they be preserved? If so, now 7 The achievement of worthy na tional goals carries a high price or individual and collective sac nfices. We are beginning to rea ize that the comparatively small sacrifices we made during the two previous world wars may have been only preliminaries to the much greater we have to make in the future. In order to preserve freedom, and at the same time insure peace, we must build a greater military machine than the world has ever dreamed of, and at the same time keep our national eco nomy intact. Toward that end ecah of us must be prepared to sacrifice as never before, and government expenditures, domes, tic and foreign, must be pared to the bone. Yes, we CAN retain our free dom and liberty. We CAN avoid another world war. We are the only nation that potentially CAN guarantee world peace. Are we willing to make the sacrifices such as commitments entail, and to make them NOW, while it is still time? Give America a goal big en ough, a Problem tough enough, and we will rise as one to meet them. We will also do it because we are gifted with an acumen for urmng a profit knowing that the sacrifices we make now, no matter how severe, in building a mignty military machine that will keep Russia at bay, will be lniiniteiy less severe than If we risked having our cities destrop ed, our land overrun by tyrants and our lives enslaved. The eternal values of the Am erican civilization and the Am erican tradition of human. lib erty are at stake. They are big stakes, but, AMERICA IS WAK ING UP!
