« Liberalism
Back In America's colonial day*
before the Revolutionary war when
everybody was underprivileged,
there were only three freedom*.
Everybody had • right to work
hard, *av* ai much a* h* could of
his earning* and use hi* head aa
profitably aa poaatble in bualneaa. II
you hav* a taata for long word* you
might call the three freedom* in-
dustry, frugality and ingenuity.
Politic* in thoa* days were ail full
of rich-man va. poor-man problem*,
aam* aa now. They war*, to b*
aure, better decorated with pretty
English but the issue* war* about
the aame: What will w# hav* to
work with? If we do wall, how
much can we keep, and how much
will b* taken by the governmentT
Government in those day* was the
English king, of course.
Lovers of Freedom
People who thought the king ought
to show more liberality called them-
selves liberals. In theory the king
owned tha land. In reality h* held
a tight rein over his subjects. Ha
taxed them plenty and his subsidized
buying concern paid little enough
for what they produced. A liberal,
in those days, wai a man who want-
ed government to loosen up a bit in
favor of the individual.
Affairs of the people were not
changed very much by the Revolu-
tion. Colonies changed Into state*
and new issues arose but still there
was an over-all government. In thla
over-all government were people
who had power-lust, or else feared
to trust the common people with
vital decisions. Opposed to these
power-hungry folk were the liberal#,
■till plugging for personal liberty.
Liberals Won Out
The liberals were right. Time has
proved beyond a doubt that people
act better and live better and make
more progress materially and spir-
itually when they have more free-
dom. Since the United States be-
came a first-class power in record
time, the world's wealthiest and
happiest people, the word ‘'liberal”
has been popular here. A liberal,
to us, is one who wants the individu-
al to be free.
Through the same historic peri-
ods America has had reactionaries.
They were the people, in colonial
days, who wanted the king to rule
them. After the Revolution, the
same element wanted an iron-rod
rule in Washington—something like
a dictator. Small wonder that re-
actionaries have always been un-
popular in America, peopl* who
howl against the system and try to
grab power for themselves.
Try to Swap Labels
Reactionaries In America today
are smart. They have learned one
lesson well. They are very sure of
one thing: they have a bad name.
They know also that the word "lib-
eral” is an asset. Accordingly they
have adopted the term "liberalism"
and call Ihemtelvts liberals. Thla is
the very same political element that
supports more government rules
*nd less liberty for individuals.
By the same 'Strategy, this polit-
ical element has begun to call peo-
ple reactionaries who hold prtciss.
ly to the liberal teachings of Thom-
as Jefferson. Don’t let anybody tell
you that government control of ev-
erything, and the destruction of in-
dividual freedom and opportunity, la
the liberalism that Americana think
so hfghly of—nor that it is liberal-
ism at all. It ia a counterfeit road
sign designed to misdirect Ameri-
can thinking away from the ways of
freedom.

WRICHTlNED Frances—When John has a sudden attack of
malaria ju*t after his return from the Pacific, she cries and
moans, Oh if I just knew what to do.". She frantically
wraps ice in a towel and puts it on his head because he has
a fever. Then she wraps him in a blanket because he's cold.
All is confusion when the doctor arrives, and John's attack
is prolonged.
PRACTICAL PATSY—She immediately puts John to bed and
keeps him warm by tucking hot water bottles around his
legs and body. She gives him a dose of the medicine he
brought home from the army hospital, and then calls the
doctor, describing John’s symptoms accurately. She's a help
to her husband and doctor.
