AMERICA MOVES TOWARD
CENTER
The record-breaking turnout of
voters on Nov. 4 and the decision
they rendered give proof of a
number of important facts. Many
interpretations will be placed on !
the Eisenhower landslide, as it
reflects the thinking and attitude
of the people, but l'rom an edu
cator’s viewpoint the most im
portant fact is that the vast maj
ority of American people can be
reached and influenced by edu-.
cational facts.
Since the election is over, non
partisan observers now are agree
ing that a great underlying issue
in the contest was the Welfare
• State philosophy. By their votes,
55 per cent of the American elec
torate apparently have rejected it.
There were other issues, some of
more immediate concern in the
basic political theories of the two
vparties is considered by most non
partisan observers to have been
one of the major fundamental
issues upon which the voters ex
pressed themselves.
In the depression days of the
1930’s the cwerwhelming will of
the people dictated to govern
ment that it should use all means
within the framework of the con
stitution to get the nation’s econ
omy back on its feet. But when
such measures as the NRA and
the Supreme Court packing bill
were tried, the people felt they
were being carried too far to
wnrd government control, or one
man rule, and they made their
wishes known. The “Fair Deal”
program, compulsory health pro
gram, and proposals to override
State’s Rights, has now been re
jected, according to the widely
held interpretation of neutral
observers.
Ahead of the administration
which takes over next January is
a combination of problems that
will tax the best wisdom of the
nation. And the kind of wisdom
needed doesn’t repose in any one
man or any small group. Never
has the need 'been so urgent for
all the people of America to keep
well i nformed on international
and national developments and
express their opinions to their
representatives in Washington.
It’s our government, obedient to
our will. We can strengthen it
, and build a more secure and
happier future for all if we will
continue to seek the facts and
make our opinions known in the
court houses, the state capitols, in
Congress and the White House.
