NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL’S PROGRAM Co-operative Marketing Association for Malheur Farmers A Properly Equipped Trailer Camp A City Park A Comprehensive Street Improvement Plan WE ARE AT THE MERCY OF THOSE WHOM WE ELECT VERY cbuntry, including our own, is at the mercy of the statesmanship its people E have put into power. Or, lack of statesmanship. Where elections are free, those who are elected usually are elected on issues other than war, un less war clearly is the issue of a campaign. Do mestic issues, and questions such as are involv ed in the Townsend Plan, or the labor question are what so often determine who is elected. Of ten, personalities are what determine elective results. Too seldom does true statesmanship or true worth determine. In countries where elections are not free, those in power are there because in time of do mestic crisis the distressed public turned to them as a hope for public order. Too often these were men who had been built up politically by demagogic appeal to grievance, to desire and to hope. In free countries or dictator countries, we are at the mercy of those whom by our choice or by our panic we have placed in power. We suffer from their mistakes. We suffer in our daily lives, in our incomes, in our occupations, in our lib erties and in the lives of our children and our loved ones. Too often, it is because of our in ertia as to vital public issues that we have per mitted the unworthy, or the less worthy, or the less qualified, to get into power. Too often by our prejudices we have kept the more worthy out of power. Yet we are at the mercy of their mistakes, costly as those mistakes are when they bring us into war even as the mistakes of states men are bringing Europe today to the verge of the abyss. Yet, even these politicians and statesmen feel public opinion and are influenced by it. Up to Munich, there was no chance that public opinion in Great Britain or France would sup port statesmanship that required going to war to save Czechoslovakia. Public opinion had its ef fect in conditioning the Chamberlain attitude as the crisis approached. A shocked public opin ion, not yet turned, accepted Chamberlain’s sac rifices for peace. It is not that the English boy or girl or woman or man loves the Poles more or the Czechs less, or that they feel any love for either of them, that today England is in war. It is because the mothers of England and the young people of England, the workers in the in dustries and on the farms, the common people themselves as well as the sheltered people, are stirred by dangers to their own self respect, and feel with almost unity through the nation that self respect demands resistance to the utmost. In German, public opinion today is making itself felt. Also in Italy. It does not make itself felt in the open way it does in countries which have freedom of speech and press, but it is mak ing itself felt. No matter how limited the worth of those in power by election or by crisis, public opinion has some effect. To that extent a sound public opinion may exert itself in time to rectify the course of rulers. Too often, alas, sound pub lic opinion is too late to save from what unsound public opinion and less worthy rulers have in volved in disaster. Regardless of the outcome of the present crisis, we will have situations to face in the fu ture. Our own domestic affairs are in bad shape, and if present drifts are permitted to continue, there is danger of our being engulfed by econ omic difficulties and the social difficulties which follow in their wake.
