COMMANDMENT—
*t !
One of the ten commandments
deals with gossip. It is the one which
says: "Thy Shalt Not Bear False
Witness Against Thy Neighbor.”
Truly, this does not mean a man has
to go to court and falsify the record
under oath to be guilty of the viola-
tion of this commandment We have
mentioned the connection between
the common word—gossip—and this
commandment here to make an im-
pression of people who would wan-
tonly and willingly destroy friend-
ships. homes, and even business in-
stuttons thru misrepresentations. Of-
ten. such misrepresentations are horn
of misunderstandings and mislntrep
retationa. The acid test comes, how-
ever. when the yardstick of personal
friendship is spplied. Friends need
no explanations—enemies won’t ac-
cept any. The unique fellow who is
a friendly-enemy reminds us of the
story of the U. S. Senator, who was
surprised when a rollegue took the
floor to discuss an Issue—then went
out in the cloak room and argued op
posslngly. When the senate convened
the next day the 8enator who had
learned of his collegues trickery rose
to speak again. He looked over to hts
brother senator and remarked: "Now
John. I don’t want your vote, or sup-
port on my measure, and I don't want
you to say anything further about
my bill. For ten years. I have been
trying to figure you out. I want you
to know that I definitely have you
classed with the opposition—so it
won't be necessary for you to politic
further in the cloak room outside the
chamber."

NEIGHBORS—
The President has just completed
another secret trip around the na-
tion and into Mexico. The purpose
of the trip, as far as we can see it.
was to give the Chief a blrds-eyo
view of Southern Army camps. Wo
sre sure the official party found con-
ditions tip-top. and plenty of spirit
in the hearts of tbo boys In the ser-
vice After the official Inteniary had
been extended deep into the heart of
Texas, ibe Prexy, and hit party, de-
cided to cement further the' move-
ment for the good neighbor policy and
pay MR. CAMACHO of Mexico a
friendly call. MRS BLBAlXOR
ROOSEVELT, the First Lady of our
land, climbed aboard the Monterrey
bound presidential special train at Ft.
Worth. Texas. She did not leave
Washington with the official party,
according to press despatches. Per-
haps she had been in the South on
another of her famous trips. To say
the least she waa enroute from one
of the 48 states to another one. and
Joined the official party in "Cow-
town," and rode on to Monterrey.
MRS. ROOSEVELT, dearpite a little
criticism by people who don’t approve
of her unrationed pilgrimages across
the country, is a. very charming per-
son according to those who know her
best. She is highly educated, talented,
and avery able speaker. It has been
said in circles in Washington that
she is the eyes and ears of our Chief.
She Is a good platform speaker—has
a good radio voice—and is especially
adept at mixing and mingling with
all peoples—regardless of race, color,
or station in life. She Is truly a re-
markable personality. Monterrey, pic-
turesque city of Old Mexico was the
scene of the love feast. Incidentally.
Monterrey is not a bad city to visit
this dime of the year. It Is very
pleasant in that city in the spring
and many vacationist used to find
their way to Monterrey, when tires
and gasoline and automobiles were
all on the unrationed list THE RAM-
BLER would like to do a little good
neighbor work over in Monterrey
sometime In May. But our ambition
to help further the good neighbor
policy will never be realized though.
To say the least we can't drop ia on
Juares. Monterrey and Nexlco city
until a cl sir-cut, unconditional, com-
plete victory over the enemy Ur reg-
istered and recorded. That victory will
surely be ours however, if such men
as MAG ARTHUR continue to lead
our troops to victory in the Pacific;
and such men as EISENHOWER and
PATTON continue to keep the vic-
tory torch up in North Africa. And
if we can manage to keep MAYOR
LAOUARDIA on this side of the
ocean. The Mayor Is too fat to fight
and besides he has already put In
some good time as a war flyer in
the last conflict. We will also need
EDDIE RICKRNBACKBK around to
help keep the hot light of truth beam-
ing down on some of the racketeers
who would hinder the war effort.

UNAFRAID
Three hundred and twenty-three
year* ago, the Pilgrim Father* Bet-
tied America a* a place in which
to worthip unafraid. So great wa<
their rouse that a century and a
half later, when the principle* of
the American democracy were laid
down in our constitution, freedom
of religion wo* one of the firat
among them—and ahatt ever he
one of the firat.
*****
Sunday morning, and the church
bells are ringing. Here and there,
as you pass along'the street, you
can hear fresh, childish voices
raised sweetly in a Sunday
School hymn In this free, glorious
America.
It seems hardly noteworthy, ex-
cept when you read that in many a
home under Nasi control, the altar
is concealed . . . worship is a des-
perate venture.
As an American yon will fight, as
our armed forces are now fight-
ing, for the preservation of our
religions freedom ... of all our
freedoms: freedom of speech—
freedom of initiative—freedom to
vote, and to come and go as we
wish. These are as sacred and
inviolable to our people as the
nation itself.
Go to church next Sunday—say a
prayer of thankfnlneas that
you live in such a country as
ours. Worship unafraid. This is
America!
