FARTHEST ASTRAY FROM THE
AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE ax the
Founding Fathers envisioned IL
Our ancestors were wine. They
wanted government kept CLOSE
AT HOME, where they could watch
It and control It. They started. In
New England, with the town meet
ing. The town meeting was govern
ment on a scale that could be
handled bv the people.
But, gradually, population spread
beyond the villages. When that
came about, there were COUNTRY
people s well aa TOWN people.
They were entitled to their share
ol the sav In government.
So we extended the scope of gov
ernment to Include the COURT
HOUSE, In time, as we continued
to grow, we widened our circle
to Include the STATE HOUSE.
There, for a long, LONG time,
we stopped, It la true that one of
our first acts as a new-born na
tion wns to create a NATIONAL
government, But, In our thinking,
we limited Its powers sharply. We
fcave it control of foreign relations
and foreign policy and NATIONAL
DEFENSE. We permitted It to
lew tariff duties partly to pro
tect our youthful Industries against
foreign competition and partly to
enable our national government to
finance Itself, Wo gave It a few
more powers.
Rut there we stopped.
We were Inherently suspicious of
BJO government,
We Wonted government kept
close enough to us so that we could
handlo It.
That was the root of our think
ing until the REVOLUTION OF.
THE 1930's. which arose out of the
Oreat Depression and was spear
headed by the New Deal.
In the course of time a sur
prisingly SHORT time the New
Deal moved the court houses and
the state houses to Washington.
The result of It has been to move
the bulk of government so far from
the people that they no longer can
rontrol It. Instead, government con
trols Uie people.
Tn recent years, I think I must
nave heard ten thousand people

BUT WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT
IT? What can ONE PERSON do?"

Wednesday night repealed a bill

the Conservatives were fronting for

Rep. Oeary, who backgrounded
this bill, pointed out that the State

posed principally bv large truck

Many of these large Interstate

WASHINGTON W! The United
States and most of the Western
Allies were reported Thursday to
have agreed to hit back at Moscow
by restricting the movements of
Soviet representatives in their
countries.
Diplomatic authorities said pre
liminary plans for combined action
were taken up at the Lisbon meet
ing of the North Atlantic Treaty
Council and won the support of
a substantial majority of the 14
member nations.
Definite action is expected pos
sibly In the next two or three
weeks after a further exchange of
views.
The planned acUon would amount
to a tit for tat retaliation for the
Russian order of last month which
in effect confines foreign diplo
mats to the Moscow area.
In the United States the expected
result is an order prohibiting So

Panyuskin and members of his
staff from traveling more than 25
miles from the capital without ex
press authority of the State De
