This-We Lost Once upon » time the United States of America meant a haven for the oppress«! and freedom loving peoples of the entire world. This state of affairs continued up until about the time that the 1 nited States started putting on immigration restrictions. Turning down by the I nited States of the league of Nations confirmed the fact that the I SA no longer held so high the torch of freedom. President Truman pressed for legislation that would have gone a long way in combating the ill feeling that millions now have for the USA. This is not to say that President Truman planned "to buy” the friendship of the downtrodden of the world. Rather our President envisioned opening up the avenues of self-advancement of the millions of yearning persons of this spinning globe. ¥ ¥ * Time was when men boldly struck out on new lines of thought—like the famous phrase, “Go West young man!” Just propose an original idea like that today and you’re the subject of a congressional investigation! Our thinking and that of our legislators is so stilted and guided by fear we should be ashamed of ourselves. How fouled up this picture of freedom and liberty has become is the present international picture. Russia is playing the role of freedom champion whether we like it or not. The oppressed teeming millions are looking to Russia for backing in their powerful urge for independence. Those same millions once upon a time looked to us in such matters. Granted we do not think Russia means well at all by these millions, but this thought doesn’t halt Russia's gains. ¥ ¥ ¥ One fact so strikingly clear is this: it is necessary that the necessities of life go along with ideas. Always we need those who set sail for the appa-ently impossible. The USA once was thought brimful of such in dividual’. Today a feeling of disgust riles the stomachs of millions because of our actions. Too often these millions have a better picture of us than we ourselves do and the same goes for the British. The British and the USA let dollar merchants be their ambassadors. Dollar merchants aren't interested in ideas and ambitions unless they presently stand as road blocks to their so-called "Free enterprise". Those who yell loudest for free enter prise are the very ones who are putting another nail in its coffin. The British are very disturbed at being pryed loose from their far flung empire. This frustration cannot but have a strong effect on the current British election—in Churchill’s favor. In turn the British election will jut into our own elections in 1952. England and the USA do not take lightly the loss of Iranian oil or the blocking of the mighty Suez Canal in Egypt. If both of these go down the drain for Russia, Uncle Joe really will have pulled the white rabbit out of the hat! And what has this to do with the USA once being the haven for the oppressed and freedom loving peoples of the world, you ask? ¥ ¥ ¥ Just this—had the congressmen of the USA had the vision of a 10-year-old child they would have followed the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, in inter national affairs. President Truman has fought bravely and well for the individual dignity of all the peoples of the* world. Truman has bolstered and aided the United Nations as far as the USA congress will allow. Today we are even doubting that our freedom and liberty are secure because of McCarthyism. How absurd! It is obvious that McCarthyism has no love for the United Nations. A world movement is the only solution to the world's ills. This world govern ment can be the United Nations. The United Nations must assume the freedom role that Russia falsely plays on the rough hewn stages of Iran, Egypt, China, Iraq, etc. The USA can prove that it again is entitled to the Statute of Liberty by leading the world towards world government. THE BEST IN ST UM ENT FOR PEACE United Nations Day was observed this week -a period of time set aside to remind all of us that the U. N. is an organization requiring the moral, spiritual and physical support of all Americans, not just on one day of the year, but on 365 days. It is more than just a dream, It is a going concern and while it has not achieved all that has been hoped for it, it has gone farther in the direction of lasting peace than any other agency in the history of the world. Its continued existence is no guar- entee that the nations of the earth are going to live together in peace. But it is certain that if that happy state of international felicity is ever to arrive it will arrive through the United Nations. And it is equally certain that there can be no hope for world accord if the U. N. should be abandoned, America has everything to gain if the U. N. thrives, everything to lose if it flounders. As the best and the only instrument for peace in the world today, it is worth whatever individual and national sacrifices are required to keep it in business.—From Oregon Teamster TAFT AND McCARTHYISM It is evident that Senator Taft is trying the tight-rope balancing act on McCarthyism. Recently Life magazine warned Taft that his asso ciation with McCarthy, or at least his silence over McCarthyism, was politically risky, and advised him to get shed of Joe if he wanted the sup port of a large segment of the republi can party. At Des Moines a few days ago Taft inched a little in that di rection, telling newsmen in response to a question that in some cases Mc Carthy had “overstated his charges.” When Joe up in Wisconsin heard this quotation he refused to believe it from his friend Bob Taft, and said he would have to have it verified from Taft himself. Wednesday at Sioux Falls Taft edged over toward Joe a bit when he said that McCarthy had “performed a public service in demanding an investigation of the state department” though he hedged again when he said he disagreed with McCarthy in some respects and agreed with him in others. To our mind Taft made an under statement about McCarthy’s over- statement. To date Joe hasn’t proved any of his charges against the state department. His latest failure was in his attack on Philip Jessup, even when he had an assist from Harold Stassen. As for performing a public service the McCarthy charges and hearings haven't yielded .one iota of good to the country, only discord and dissen tion and magnification of the Big Lie. We have respected Taft as a man of sincerity and integrity and intelli gence. He can't have all three and have truck with McCarthyism.— The Statesman THE JESSUP DEC ISION MILL CITY MEAT MARKET Quality Meats and Groceries FOOD LOCKERS FROZEN FOODS 3 Miles East of Mill City Dinners and Dancing 7 Days a Week From I p.m. to 3 a.m. Halloween & Birthday Party FREE CIDER AND DONUTS Wed., October 31 EVERYBODY INVITED Come and Help Celebrate Gloria, Terry and Dick’s Birthday The Senate subcommittee vote on Ambassador Philip C. Jessup does little to clarify a confused situation. In the first place, the vote did not rest on any doubt of the character and patriotism of Dr. Jessup, despite Sen ator McCarthy’s initial impugning of both. Republican Senator H. Alex ander Smith, who voted against the appointment of Dr. Jessup, declared his “absolute confidence” in the lat- ter's "integrity, ability, and loyalty.” Democratic Senator Guy M. Gillette, who also voted against him, declared I him to be "a man of great mental ability, a man of honesty and integ rity, a careful student of international affairs.” Why. then, did they vote against his confirmation? Senator Smith de clared that it was because Dr. Jessup " has b«>n identifi«i with” a Far Eastern policy which has failed to prevent China from falling into the hands of the Reds. On this basis of judgment it would be necessary to repudiate a good many other diplo mats, generals, and statesman of proven caliber who, rightly or wrongly, believed that nothing short of the commitment of American troops in the early postwar years or a complete Nationalist house cleaning could have saved Chiang Kaishek’s regime. Senator Gillette, on the other hand, maintained that there was only “the most meager” evidence that Dr. Jessup I took an important part in formulat- i ing China policy. Certainly some of Mr. Stassen’s charges on this matter broke down almost as badly as Sena tor McCarthy’s, though obviously carrying far more weight with the committee. But Senator Gillette nevertheless voted against Dr. Jessup because of the present lack of public 1 confidence in the diplomat—even [ though, he added, this might be due in large part to “unfair and unprin- I cipled attacks made on him.” Near ness of the scheduled adjournment of Congress weighed against taking time fully to evaluate the criticism. From the statements of Senators Smith and Gillette, mutually contra dictory as they are in certain respects, it is clear that the proven usefulness of Dr. Jessup as a negotiator in such difficult situations as the Berlin block- iade has weighed less than unproved [charges of his connection with un popular policies. There may indeed . be excellent reasons why his appoint ment as a delegate to the United Na tions should not be confirmed, but the | reasons so far advanced are related : to' him less as a man than as a scapegoat.—From Christian Science Monitor [ HOME OFFICE: 313 W.
