Two issues closely tied t o g e t h e r and in a c tu ality bound into only one issue, are being kicked aro u n d by both political parties in the cu rren t cam paign and are b rin g ing m ental confusion to the av erag e A m erican voter. The issues are th e present era of p ro sp erity and th e K orean w ar. Since W ebster defines p ro sp erity as “Successful pro gress in any business or en te rp rise ,” no one can deny th a t such a condition exists, if only superficially. A sec ond definition, “Good fortune,” m ig h t cause som e doubts in th e m inds of a large segm ent of th e population. W ar is defined as "A contest b etw een states carried on by force; arm ed conflict; sta te of hostility; en m ity .” Those definitions most certain ly apply to th e contest be ing staged in K orea and th e all-too-w ell-rem em bered b attles of W orld W ar II. A sincere appraisal of th e tw o issues should relieve both m ajo r political parties of th e cred it or blam e for p ro sp erity or w ar and retu rn th e resp o n sib ility for the u n desirab le aspects of both rig h t back to h u m an nature. It is nauseating and frightening to im agine a common link betw een \yar and pro sp erity and m ost of us are re lu c tan t to adm it th at we do so. T he fam ilies of those boys fighting and dying in K orea as w ell as those who know th e ir sons will soon be called into service are probably m ore confused than anyone else in a ttem p tin g to answ er th e big question, "W hy?” Should peace come next w eek, n ex t m onth o r n ex t year, th e re would be a definite econom ic upheaval. Even though th is nation continues w ith a strong A rm y and N avy and th e production of voeapons for th e co u n try ’s defense— w hich we are confident w ould be th e case w hichev er p arty is in pow er—th e re w ould be need for d rastic changes in the shift to peace. B ecause of the changes th a t w ould have to be m ade in th e econom ic field, th e re are bound to be m ore psycho logical upheavals th at would fu rth e r divide A m erican people’s th in k in g and bring accusations against the m an in th e W hite House for lost investm ents, u n em ploym ent and d eflated incomes. The P resid en t of th e U nited S tates, no m a tte r w ho he is, will be blam ed for m any of th e u n d esirab le resu lts, but he will receive little if any of th e cred it for th e end of hostilities and th e rem oval of th e c e rta in ty th a t several thousand boys would su ffer d eath and in ju ry on th e battlefield.
