THOUGHTS OF INDEPENDENCE
Little Man of America Ends Isolationist
Thinking; Where World Goes He Goes
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON. July 4. (—When
the little man got up today, he
read the papers.
They had plenty of reminders
that this was the Fourth of July.
174th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence
There were other things in the
papers, plenty of them, mostly
about how we were making out in
Korea.
The little man folded the papers
and sat by the window. Something
was rattling around in his noggin.
He got up and looked in the
mirror. He was gray, nearing 50.
He had lived almost half a centu-
ry
A lot of things had happened in
that time, he thought, and a lot had !
happened to his thinking.
That was what was rattling!
around in his noggin, looking for a
way to get expressed. |
What had happened to him, real-
ly, or to his thinking? He walked
out to the kitchen to talk to his
wife about it.
“I feel.” he told her, “like a man
who is starting out on a long jour-
ney, into a new country. I feel like
I had torn all the old labels out of
my suits, and. thrown away all my
old baggage.
His wife, thought he needed
another cup of coffee. But he said
no. And he went in and sat by the
along, swallowing one country aft-
er another, he knew:
We have to stop it sometime If
we don’t all our friends will be gone
and the whole world will be Com-
munist. Can we hope to stand
against the world, alone, friend-
less? He felt we couldn't.
That's why he felt almost relief
when President Truman suddenly
made the stand against commu-
nism by moving into Korea.
The little man didn't know where
that would lead, down what strange
Guardsmen to
Fire Sunday
and terrible road. Perhaps into a
new world war. “If that’s the price
we have to pay for independence."
he thought, “we’ll pay it."
Independence for whom? Not on-
ly us but other people. That was it.
The little man felt up to his ears
in the world, although he didn’t
know where the world was going.
That’s where his strange feeling
came from: The feeling of start-
ing out on a long journey whose
end no one could foresee.
But because the old isolationism
was gone, and we were sailing
with other people into a new world,
he knew now why he felt he had
thrown away his old baggage and
the ancient labels.

The word independence kept run-
ning through his head. Suddenly he
did something he hadn't done since
he was a boy. He began reading
the Declaration of Independence.
The last line fascinated him:

Both the Brotherhood of Railway

These observers point out that

He tried to look back over his
life to put the broken pieces of his
thoughts together. What had
started him on this anyway?
Oh, he thought, the stuff in the
papers about the 4th" of July, the
174 years of American history, what
had happened to the country in that
time, and—what had happened to
him in his lifetime?
