g; .O >*:«'• ,;•'•*»,'> TImnday, January 14, 1943 THE MoHEMEY PLAIND1ALER PW Thre# LET S MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS , • -• - . <RS- By GEORGE PECK , Pearl Harbor, disastrous as ft «pas, nevertheless, can be looked upon as a sad blessing in disguise, for it aroused a divided American people and united them as one to fight against the aggressor nations and the twisted ideologies for which they stand. Frustrated in his effort to drive a wdge between the different groups of this nation, Hitler then turned to sowing seeds of dissension between our gallant allies and ourselves. It pains us to have to report that to a certain -degree* he seems to, be succeeding. As a case in point, on one of the nation's outstanding radio forums, re- -cently, the subject of discussicfo was: "Would Immediate Freedom For India Hasten Or Retard Victory'?" In this debate an. Englishman was pitted against two Americans. The organization which sponsored this debate has had many constructive and helpful programs on its forum. No one can doubt the loyaltv and I Americanism of any of the leaders of the organization or allege the slightest intent on their part to give aid and comfort to the enemy. However, jt is our sincere conviction that in staging a debate on the Indian question, especially at this critical time, they were unwittinglv failing into Hitler's trap of attempting to create dis- " eord between Britain and America. •"We have jour own personal opinion about "'Freedom For India," but we are not going to express it at this time. We sincerely believe that every American should fellow the same policy. Firstly, because it is really none of our business and "cheeky" on our part to be discussing the internal affairs of our principal ally; and secondly, because few of us are really sufficiently informed about India to enable us to propose a solution of that vexatious problem. , We are quite sure that every redblooded American, irrespective of his convictions on tlje subject, would angri'y resent a discussion over a British radio hook-un, of "Would Abolition Of The Poll Tax in America Hasten Or Retard Victory?" With righteous indignation wp would he unanimous in telling the British people that the poll tax here fn AmeYtCS." is strictly American business and no -concern , of theirs. And for the benefit of those Americans who are voicing ent'eis™ ""f England in her re'at-'cs toward the Indian people, whether or not su^h criticism is justifiable, we would point out that it smacks very much rf "The, Pot Calling the Kettle Black." Our treatment of the American Indians •when we first pioneered this country is not something to whiclfc w« can point with pride. . . ^ ^ Also, no one will denv that we should maintain the friendliest of relations with Russia at this time. It certainly does not help foster a friendly feeling for Russia among American people for certain of our newspapers to refer constantly in their headlines to Stalin's stalwarts as "reds." That word has to us a distasteful connotation and surely the gallant stand made by the Russians is worthy of our dropping, at least for the duration, any names for them that are other but eulogistic. Let's .save the nasty names for our enemies. During this struggle against the forces that would destroy us and our American Way of Life, doesn't it seem to be good common-sgnse to speak well of, and to refrainlfrom any criticism of the nations with which we are allied? Minding our own business mots certainly wil help hasten the day of ultimate victory; medd'ing in the internal affairs of any of our Allies, will not only delay victory but make negotiations at the peace-table just that more difficult for the envoys • cf'^the United Nations. ' Tells Difference Between Democracy and Republic A precise definition of democracy is almost impossible, explains a member of the University of Penn* sylvama political science department. For over 2,000 years it ha $ been used to denote not only a kind but a form of government, a purpose or motive of the people and also the political or economic result of their desires. Democracies usually are classed as (1) pure or direct and (2) representative or indirect. A pure democracy is one where the will of the state is expressed by people directly in mass meeting. Representative government is where the will of the state is formulated and expressed through a relatively small body chosen by the people as their representatives. The term representative government often is used synonymously with republican government. Strict-' ly speaking it is not necessarily a democracy,, for sometimes representatives are chosen by a greatly restricted class of voters. Today "republic" often specifically Weaker Over California tt 20,000 feet over Peru cosmic s have been found to be 30 per cent weaker than at a similar altitude over California. • •/;. ; Picnic Luncheons Healthy It is said that ants live to bbee ten years pld; another argument in favor of hard work.

During the Crimean war (1854) trenches around Sevastopol were snow-covered, «nd a great number of soldiers were treated for frostbite. Thus the "Riviera" of Russia also shivers under the pressure of winter's blow. Lowlands in Transcaucasia^ ber tweeri the Caucasus mountains and the frontier of Turkey and Iran, are warm even in winter, but much of this region is high, cold and windswept.
