Il AT If \S NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS."
________________ —Georgi- Putnam
You Be the Judge
Humbly we refresh our readers’ memory on the Preamble to the < on-
-tilution of the United States, which reads:
"We. the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect
union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings
of libery to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this
constitution for (he United States of America.”

Now we Kiibmit a letter from the Multnomah Chapter of the Oregon
Republican < lub, which reads:
“The Republican Party has slumbered too Ion» under the defeatism of
New Deal relay-race elections and now, like a groggy shipwrecked Gulliver,
awakens suddenly to find itself bound hand and foot by the ever-increasing
swarm of six-inch calibre bureaucrats who. by their over-powering numbers,
appear to impress with utter hopelessness, any effort to shake oil their
network of controls, their gutter-type political methods and their socialistic
practices.
“The time has come for us to end this role of ‘His Majesty’s most loyal
opposition* and start an old fashioned slugging match lor survival; not only
as Republicans, but as Americans. The only way we see to accomplish this
is to shake the very foundations of our organization by some old fashioned
rally or torch-light parade in the style that made this country great; to
give more than lip-service to the courageous leaders who are making what
may be our last free fight for American traditions, if we lose this opportunity.
“We are going to be blunt—we need your support, your ideas, and right
now we need your money to back up this support. Our first step must be
a bold one; that’s the reason we chose a courageous speaker. Senator
Joseph R. McCarthy from Wisconsin, whose basic loyalty to \merica has
never been questioned, u ho has consented to make Portland his first speaking
assignment in the West. We are paying his expenses only. We are asking
Momething in addition to financial support; an unheard of action in these
times; we want you to even go so far as to do a little campaigning to see
that your employees get a chance to hear Senator McCarthy as he functions
in the Senate; not as the reports misstate so often.
“The date is August 26th at the Republican Picnic at Jant/.en Beach
Park, sponsored by the Multnomah County Chapter of the Oregon Republican
( lub. Tickets are $1.00 which all goes for the wry excellent food, barbecue-
stjle, supplied by Waddle's. We want delegations from all over the State of
Oregon and from our neighboring State of Washington to participate in this
big Rally.
“Several heads of business firms and some individuals have already
bought a hundred tickets. Mill YOI take a hundred—fifty—twenty-five—
or even ten? We need to know ahead in order that we may plan on adequate
food. We are counting on your support to help some very willing leaders
make a start toward a rip-roaring 1952 ( LEW I P \MERICA < \MP\l(i\*

\nd finally:
“To the \llied victories in World War I and World War II each American
contributed. On (he battlefield and on the home front each played his part.
We made whatever sacrifice was demanded of us gladly and willingly.
“The present national emergency again demands that *e put security,
strength, and peace ahead of our personal desires. In the mutual security
effort each has a part to play.
“The impact on our civilian way of life of the present world situation
is just beginning to be felt. It will become more serious tn the months
ahead. Many of our jolts will demand longer hours. There will be short-
ages in eertain Chilian goods—particularly goods made froM metal.
“In World War II the people of the I nited Stales accepted w hate* er
sacrifices they were called upon to make in the conviction that the goal
was worth whatever it cost.

"The goal we seek today is peace, We are fighting for it Just as surely
as we fought for it t> years ago. And again, the free nations of the world
are fighting and working beside us.

attained, we. the free peoples of the
world, can get on with the job of building a progressive anil productive
society of nations.
“ 'Democracy,' said President Truman, 'can supply the vitalizing force

to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action not only against
their human oppressors, but also against their ancient enemies—hunger.
misery and despair.'
“The I lilted States, in its strength and well-being, stands as proof of
the truth of this statement. With that strengh and well-being, however,
have come responsibilities. The test of our democracy lies in how wisely
we handle them." I ,S.A. Department of State publication 1210.

CRIME
CALENDAR
AUGUST Is Ths Month
For
CAR THEFTS: Nothing suggests
the open road more than sunshine
and pleasant weather. Conse­
quently we grow careless when
driving—and parking! The urge
to get up and go applies, too, to
others—even if they have to steal
a car to make it. In an average
day, crime statistics show, more
than 440 cars are stolen in the
U. S. You as s driver can con­
tribute to this crime When you
park, don’t leave your keys in
the ignition It's an invitation to
steal. It's far better—and far
cheaper on the taxpayer—to pre­
vent a crime than to punish s
criminal.
MEDICAL QUACKS: Watch out
for that phoney “doctor” with his
bag full of "cures” for every­
thing He pops up this time of
year, sometimes with travelling
carnivals, sometimes with his
own show. He peddles his wares
to the unwary in small towns and
resort areas mostly. The "medi­
cines" he has promise relief for
any ailment; his "drugs" are more
harmful than good. The reliable
doc is the one you've known for
years.
ASSAULT BY MOONLIGHT:
This is a warning for spooners.
The situations involved cover a
variety of crimes. The shady
lane, that road, beach, or park­
side rendezvous, may prove as
dangerous as it is delightful.
Watch out for prowlers. They
