CURB ON POWER
* Authority turns men’s heads.
Human nature changes very lit
tle if at all. Bigots and despots
are guided by no rule but ex
pedience. - They govern for
their own advantage, to grab and
hold power. I saw it at its worst
during eleven years under the
war lords of South China. The
rule applies to mortals of every
race and station. It applied to
King Saul, the Lord’s Annointed;
no less to the modern heathen,
Hirohito. We are protected from
it in America, not by mere luck.
Framers of the American Con
stitution laid a foundation solid
enough to support a government
by the people, a representative
government in which the repre
sentatives are accountable di
rectly to the people who elect
them. They were wise pioneers.
They knew human nature as well
as theory of government. They
knew how soon power runs to
tyranny when not held in check.
PILLARS OF FREEDOM
While the United States retains
constitutional government it is
keeping all the pillars of human
freedom on which our liberty
rests. Under our Constitution, '

god I do not trust; you have to
convert me. You can't make me
buy something I don't want; you
have to sell me. You can’t maxe
anybody shutup until you prove
that he is lying.
No system was ever devised by
mortal mind that had no flaws.
Many a falsehood has been pro
claimed under the cloak of free
speech. Many a crime has been
committed in the name of relig
ion. Many a pirate has sailed
the open seas of free trade. Nev
ertheless, for all their abuses, re
ligious liberty, free speech and
open competition are still essen
tial parts of human freedom.
INTEGRAL LIBERTIES
“Why,” someone has asked,
-do you defend free faith and
free speech when only free en
terprise is under attack ” Here’s
why: They are all one. Take from
a common man his right to own
something and before long he
will be ready to kiss a gangster’s
hand for a loaf of bread to feed
his hungry children. Too soon
then will people be hiding in
caves to pray as they did in the
dark ages.
There is a danger. Rulings by
appointed bureaus and commis
sions, having no constitutional
stability, may be greatly preju
diced by the local interests or
personal whims of the bureau.
They may be as dictatorial as
any edict from the lips of an
African chief or proclamation
sealed in perfumed wax with the
j signet ring of a Sultan. Written
laws, made by the representa
tives of the entire nation, how
ever unwise they might occa
sionally appear, are on a far
more substantial basis.
AMERICA'S SECRET
Several foreign countries have
more natural resources than have
been found in America. But they
j are poor countries because they
have never been developed. It is
not a matter of ignorance. They
have intelligent people and
shrewd technicians. But many
of their; best minds come to live
in America. Why? Under our
Constitution they can use their
talents and be well paid for their
work.
In America, rulers are actually
public servants. Their records
are checked regularly by the
people who chose them. On elec
tion day they are re-engaged or
dismissed. Scalawags hold office
sometimes but no tyrant has ever
ruled us. But mark this: Our
freedom is not some mysterious
acid in American soil. Without
representative and constitutional
government, anything can happen
here. Let us be sure that rule by
bureaus ends when the war ends.
SERGEANT'S TRUE AIM
WRECKS JAP TANK
OKLAHOMA CITY —(AP)—
S-Sgt. Jack Pepper of Oklahoma
City, Marine Corps combat cor
respondent, tells how an Okla
homa sergeant used baseball
pitching form to defeat a Japan
ese tank.
The sergeant, Dean . Squires
of Taloga, Okla., was fighting on
Saipan when a Jap tank came
toward him. Having only a rifle,
Squires ran. The tank chased
him.
As Squires passed an abandon- j
ed fox hole he saw a demolition
kit in it. He grabbed it. The tank
«
shot past him. The sergeant
pitched the demolition charge at
the rear of the tank and his aim
was true.
The tank was wrecked.
KOTZEBUE
MARINE TOUGH
FOR SQUITOS
By Tech. Sgt. Fred Feldkamp
....TINIAN, Marianas Islands —
(Delayed)—Marine Private First
Class Jimmie R. Reid, an Eski
mo from Kotzebue, Alaska, isn’t
the least worried about contact
ing malaria or dengue fever. “My
skin is just too tough for those
mosquitos,” he laughs. The tropi
cal climate bothered him at first,
but now he’s an old hand at jun
gle fighting.
Private First Class Reid, a
member of the famed Second
Marine Division, is currently re
covering from a minor wound
received during the invasion of
Saipan. He served through the
battles for Guadalcanal, Tarawa,
Tinian, as well as Saipan.
