Editorial THEY MUST NOT FORGET The approach 'of another Me­ morial Day revives the observa­ tion that upon veterans’ organ­ izations such as The American Legion falls the chief duty and obligation o f honoring the mem­ ory o f our departed comrades, and in doing so, to remii>. all citizens how much the nation owes to those who fought to pre­ serve it* The reminder is necessary, be­ cause people all too soon forget that men* motgaged their lives to Uncle Sam in two World Wars to actually hold back enemies bent upon invading our shores. The reminder is necessary be­ cause people forget that the hu­ man cost o f war, in terms o f the rehabilitation o f veterans and compensation and pension fo r the service-connected sick and dis­ abled, goes on. Every other cost o f war was paid with cash, as re­ flected in the national debt. For the memory o f mankind is short and, fo r the sake o f san­ ity, it prefers to dwell upon the good thing o f life, the personal triumphs and joys, rather than upon the horrors o f war and the problems o f war’s aftermath. Only with an effort does the aver­ age citizen, veteran or non-vet­ eran, bring himself to think o f ‘'those who shall have borne the battle and fo r his widow and his orphan,” as Lincoln put it. It is an axiom in the defense o f any nation that “ loyalty must beget loyalty.” I f men and women turn themselves over to their government, don uniforms, sub­ ject themselves to military disci­ pline, and thenceforth live on borrowed time, it follows that their government must make whatever just recompense is their due, according to the individual sacrifices they have made. In ancient times men fought for the spoils o f war. Today they fight from a sense of loyalty and patriotism, and the certainty that their government will not let them and their dependents down, come what may. Disloyal troops do.not win battles nor save their fatherlands. This was true o f the barbarians under Genghis Khan and it applies equally to the arm­ ed hordes marshalled by Soviet Russia today. Memory goes Pack to two speeches by the late President Roosevelt, to illustrate the point. The first was Oct. 2, 1933, before the national American Legion convention at Chicago. It was 15 years after War I. The president said, in part: “No person, because he wore a uniform, must hereafter be placed in & special class o f beneficiaries. . . The fact o f wearing a uniform does not mean that he can de­ mand and receive from his gov­ ernment a benefit which no other citizen receives.” That speech was a prelude to the National Economy Act of 1833. Time marched .onward ten years, and in a radio address July 28, 1943, after 19 months of War II, the president said: “ I have assured the men in the armed forces that the American people would not let them down when the war is done. . . The American people will insist on fulfilling this American obliga­ tion to the American men and Friday, May 26* '1950] The Cedarville, O. Herald • ;tey .< 8PB a o r jH h a k m & M REV* ROBERT H.

A severs accusation was brought against the priests, who taught for. hire, and against the prophets who- made their predictions according to what they were paid by thosa* concerned. Both priests and pro- phet3 were prostituting religious things. ' As iniquitous as the religious conditions were the political con­ ditions. The prophet roundly con­ demned the rubers who abhorred justice, perverted equity, and' judged fo r reward—took bribes for. rendering a judgment pleasing to those who made the bribe. Such iniquities could not but taping one result—the ruin of Jerus­ alem and the nation. But the ruin might be averted by the right ac­ tion on the part of the people.

BROWN Writes W ith a Buckeye In Congress A bill is expected to he intro­ duced in congress this week, at the request o f the administration, to authorize the appropriation o f $1.5 billion fo r military aid to Atlantic pact members and other friendly European nations. A great deal o f American military equipment has already been ship­ ped to Europe. The $1.5 billion requested for military aid dur­ ing the coming fiscal year would he in addition to the $3.1 billion already authorized fo r economic aid to Europe. Last week top officials repre­ senting union employees joined with glass manufacturers o f New York, Pennsylvania, West Vir­ ginia, and Ohio in presenting to members o f congress from those states the dark troubles o f the glass industry o f America. Em­ ployment in plants making better- grade glassware is now only 30 to §0 percent of normal, and thou­ sands of men are out o f work. The reason—the recent flood of ware into American markets at prices much lower than labor cost alone o f producing similar ware in this country.

The * * ty made one of the most valuable statements the medical profession could announce for the benefit of laymen. Although they didn’t couch their remarks in as simple language as I use, it sums up to the same thing: members o f the armed forces have been compelled to make greater economic sacrifices, and «very other kind o f sacrifice, than the rest o f us, and are entitled to definite action to take care of their special problems.” A forgotten soldier o f Crom­ well’s army in 1647 summed it up in his famous line3 beginning, “ God and the soldier we adore, in rimes o f battle—not before.” A t the end o f War II one o f our illustrious military leaders spoke the truth when he observed that the "secret weapon” o f victory was in reality American GI’s, and that they deserved the credit. I t is doubly important in these times that the pcblic not forget iha deeds and sacrifices of our war dead, and our living veterans. The average War II veteran is only 31 years old. He may be fh* main bulwark again between this nation and its enemies if another war should come. His loyalty to his country must he tkjjifTYfd by this nation.

They said “ re­ sults strongly suggest that the effectiveness o f treatment is primarily caused by the patient’s psy­ chologic reaction to the treatment situation in Carnegie general.” Dr. Sidney Carter, who has tested many persons with regard to headaches, says, “ To overlook or to fail to treat the psychological conflicts in a patient with chronic headaches is to run the risk o f failure.” So: don’t you sum it up that you worry yourself into a head­ ache, and if, you can rout worry, you won’t have headaches? Anyway, the next time a headache comes your way, ask your­ self what you are worrying about? Then ask yourself i f you can do something about that worry. If you can, then get at it. I f you can’t, then tell yourself the truth, put out o f your mind the subject that you are worrying about and fill your mind wih something else. The best thing to fill it with would be some thought o f helping someone else who is worse o ff than you are. To go still farther o s the subject o f how worry can get you down, I quote Dr. Edward Weiss, professor at Temple university, Philadelphia, who says that marital troubles are the meet frequent cause o f rheumatism, and he says he based Us observations on a group o f 83 se­ lected from 4M people* .

Dr. Weiss recommends relaxation, dismissing unpleasant thoughts from the mind, and taking up some occupation that w ill keep your mind “ * program, are blamed for the situ­ ation. Incidentally, much of the glassware now reaching Ameri­ can markets from abroad is made behind the “ iron curtain” by slave labor. Leaders o f American labor and industry are becoming in­ creasingly aware of the grave dangers of the Administration’s “ free trade” program. For the first time in more than 20 years Texas has a Republican representative in the congress. He is Ben H. Guill, of Pampa, Texas, 40-year old real estate man, who won the special election held 10 days ago. Mr. Guill took his oath of office last week, to the great pleasure of his fellow Republi­ cans in the house and the cha­ grin o f his Democratic colleagues from Texas and elsewhere. On the same day that President Truman, in a speech on his “ non- political” tour of the northwest, was telling his listeners how prosperous the country is, how more than 60 million Americans are employed at high, wages, and that the number of unemployed is steadily decreasing, Senator Nee­ ly, Democrat of West Virginia, introduced a resolution in the senate to authorize the labor committee of that body to in­ vestigate increasing unemploy­ ment in America. Then *a few . days later, President Truman, in a speech at Cumberland, Md. on his way back to Washington, promised the unemployed of America they would “ soon have the kind o f jobs they wanted or higher unemployment compensa­ tion.” We leave it to our readers „to figure out the right answer. Every official report indicates that the boom is still on and that a new inflationary trend has set in. The commodity price index has been rising by about 1 per­ cent a month in recent weeks. The government is making cred­ it for business loans and home construction easier at ’ lower rates. Deficit spending has in­ creased to where the federal government is running into debt §17 million a day. Big unions are planning on demanding more pay for workers in the months ahead. The purchasing power of the dol­ lar is gradually going down, rath­ er than up. A fter voting a tentative reduc­ tion o f over $1 billion per year in federal excise taxes, the ways and means committee last week started looking for new or ad- ditional revenue to balance the tax cut, as demanded by the presi­ dent. The committee has tenta­ tively agreed to place a 10 per . cent withholding tax on all cor­ poration dividends paid stock­ holders, who, treasury officials insist, often fail to report them as income for tax purposes. It is estimated about $350 million in additional revenue could be ob­ tained by this procedure, as weli as a great deal more bookkeeping, headaches fo r both corporations' and the bureau of internal reven­ ue. s The nation is now undergoing the largest home building boom in its history. In April more than 126,COO housing units were start­ ed. An even larger number may he started in May. It has been predicted at least 1,200,000 hous­ ing units will be constructed dur­ ing 1950—and perhaps more. Fed­ eral officials are warning that Washington area is already over­ built. An embargo has been placed on government loans for apart­ ment construction here, except for certain low-rent slum-clear­ ance projects. If 25 or 40 thou­ sand employees are dropped from the federal payrolls in Washing­ ton, as provided by the appropria­ tion bill which passed the house, Washington landlords may be hunting tenants before too loft$ Some of our diplomatic offi­ cials have let the French knoV We will give them up to $75 mil- lion to help them meet war need* ' in indo-'CTmna—much bo their disappointment, as they were ex­ pecting Unde Sam to fork ove* V 2 PITH MOST of the legislation in W the senate suspended, in favor- of FEPC and other civil rights leg­ islation as proposed by the Presi­ dent, the federal government ad­ journed to Chicago where, for the first time in the nation’ s history, the people were able to view and hear an official open meeting of President's cabinet sitting in Chi­ cago’ s civic opera house. There on Sunday May 14, the . cabinet with full membership, with thh exception of Secretary o f State Dean Acheson who Is in London, presided over by Vice- President Albcn Barkley and flanked on the stage by all the party stalwarts and by prom- n i business, labor- and agri­ cultural officials, gave the peo­ ple of the country a ring-side scat at the deliberations of this body, plus a report of congres­ sional action by Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn. Not only was an audience of more than 5,000 people given a chance per­ sonally to see the cabinet in ac­ tion, but millions more watched the proceedings through the medium of television, and other millions heard the a c t i o n - through radio. • • « Under- Secretary of State James Webb, pinch hitting for the absent Acheson, gave the people a report on the nation’s position in world leadership. He pointed out the necessity of carrying on the Mar­ shall plan, of implementing the Atlantic pact, not only as a prime security measure for our pwn na­ tion, but as a means of remaining strong here at home. Secretary of C o m m e r c e Charles Sawyer made a brief summation of the world trade situation, of our domestic com­ merce and also of the necessity for economic strength on the domestic front. Secretary of Agriculture Charles Brannan outlined the continued necessity for a strong agricultural policy to maintain agriculture at a high level of production and to insure continued high agricultural income. Of course, Brannan gave a plug for his own and the adminis- tration’ s agricultural Program, Sec­ retary of Labor Maprice Tobin gave a report on how a productive and peaceful industrial life is es- Viaut at least $250 million for that pur­ pose. President Truman has submit­ ted to congress a plan, under the reorganization act, which if not rejected by one of the branches of congress within 60 days, would give Stuart Symington, the new chairman of the national secur­ ity resources board, great dic­ tatorial powers to coordinate this country’s defense program, in­ cluding industrial production, in case of war or other national emergency* * By a talley of 52 to 32, the senate last Friday failed to cast the 64 votes necessary to invoke cloture on the debate over the fair employment practices com­ mission bill. This means that once more the Democratic congress has turned down a part of the civil rights program, for a filibuster will now ensue, as a score pr more democratic senators have promised to carry on “ for six months” if necessary.

Some­ times it seems to be mostly the effect the particular habit has on parents! Take clothes sucking In which a lot of children seem to find comfort. It is fundamentally annoy­ ing to see a child with a sleeve or the point of his collar in his mouth. Mild suggestion that he doesn’t look his most attracive when sucking at his clothing and pointing out how much nicer clothes look without telltale damp spots*—these are gen­ tle ways of discouraging the habit. But constant nagging and letting the child see how it gets on your nerves may cause him to hold on to a babyish pastime long after he might have otherwise dropped It. Actually, there aren’ t many childish habits that are worth a mother’s worry. Those which should cause you concern are I the ones which indicate that ' the child is a step or two be­ hind in his emotional adjust­ ments. Inability to play with ; other children is a serious lag, as is a constant unwillingness to do what you ask. This latter Is a stage, called negativism, ’ that two-year-olds go through, as any parent can tell you. But if prolonged beyond four or five the child, for some reason, Is probably using no as a weap­ on against his parents. Because by then a child should have learned that it Is more fun, and decidedly to his advantage, to be cooperative at least part of the time. Failure in school, night terrors and 'Serlou3 feeding problems are other signs of maladjustment that parents should be concerned about. Sometimes it requires the help of a psychiatrist to get at the basic trouble—but often thoughtful par­ ents can discover by close obser­ vation what is causing their child so much unhappiness. For example, Is it jealousy of a younger or older brother or sister? Often this is ex­ pressed in the opposite way you’d expect, such as in extreme dem­ onstrativeness. Making a fuss over the baby may seem to a child who Is worried about the loss' of part of his mother’ s love to be a way of winning more of her approval. Then there is habitual behav­ ior that, while not serious in it­ self, may handicap the child in making f r i e n d s . Excessive roughness In play and pro­ longed sulkiness come in this category. Usually these result from improper handling and guidance—that is, father plays roughly with his son from boy­ hood, glorying in the child’s hardihood. The y o u n g s t e r doesn't know that other chil­ dren don’t welcome the maul­ ing his father enjoys. The important tiling is for par­ ents to see their child's annoying habits in proper perspective. Most of them are harmless, so trivial that they are better overlooked. Others are signs of serious diffi­ culties, wordless cries for help in learning how to live comfortably and happily in the world. Still others, such as habitual rudeness, are stumbling blocks in the way to being accepted by others>Par- ents should try to grow in under­ standing of their child’ s needs lor guidance and not create additional tensions by reacting strongly to every small departure from becom­ ing behavior. World W'ars as neutrals, despite their location in the heart of Europe, are once more being urged by their government to start hoarding ahd stockpiling food, staple commodities, and raw materials needed for manufac­ turing. The last time such in­ structions were sent out by the Swiss government was in 1939, This does not necessarily mean the Swiss believe another Euro­ pean war is imminent—but the Swiss are very practical people. ®!i.
