"Now is the time for all good men

use the typewriter—and light now it
lias a" lot of sense. Whoever it was that
tagged the Latins "volatile" hadn't
yet met the Americans.
We are so volatile that we contra
dict ourselves every night. We build
up a hero today and tear him down
tomorrow.
We are all ideals and determination
today and we walk over the same ideals
tomorrow.
Somebody starts a crazy idea and
in no time at all the whole nation can
go nuts.
And the whole nation hasn't been far
from being nuts in these recent days

The whole crazy mess about demob

It didn't make sense from the start
it makes less now. Somebody starts a

with clever promotion the wave starts
rolling. "And where she stops nobody
knows."
Lynch law gets under way in Just
about the same way.
When mass hysteria gets well un
der way, the man who holds up a hand
of caution and pleads for sound judg
ment is likely to be rolled over—more
likely to be than not to be.
Mass hysteria is an emotional dis
ease. It is accompanied by an absence
of thinking. The individual person
ceases to have a functioning brain.
He really ceases to be an individual.
He gets melted into the mass. After
wards, when some shock restores in
dividual judgment, he probably be
comes very much ashamed of himself.
Usually, by then, it's too late!
Every half-way good psychologist
and every apprentice psychiatrist
knows all about mass hysteria and
mob action.
These learned and semi-learned gen
tlemen probably are today doing some
very fancy studying of the mass mind,
as distinguished from the individual
mind.
They are trying to figure out just
what sparks set off some of our mass
hysteria movements and they are try
ing to foresee the shock that will stop
them.
They are having themselves a time,
no doubt.
Of course the time to atop «mmm» lis
teria is before it starts. And the way
to stop it is .to educate *nen andwo-

We have had a lot of mass hysteria

There was "54-40" or bust "Tippe

Tenant Farmers Ask
Seizure of Big Plantations
St. Louis, Mo. (ILNS).—Tenant
farmers in the U. S. believe they
should get their freedom just like
those in Japan. Expressing this sen
timent at the 12th annual convention
of the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union, they wired President Truman
urging legislation providing for seiz
ure and distribution of large planta
tions in the same maaper.As is beiQg
done in Japan.
Gen. MacArthur has ordered the
Japanese government to break up
large estates and to resell the land
at low interest rates to Japanese
tenant farmers by March 15.
The convention adopted a program
calling for an annual minimum wage
of $625, or $5 a day for all types of
farm labor, and voted to change the
organization's name to National Farm
Labor Union.

ARE WE ONE PEOPLE?
By Ruth Taylor
In the past month I have travelled
from one end of the continent to the
other—through big towns, little towns
and villages. And wherever I have
b&poken, I have been asked one ques
tion—is there a difference between the
people in the various sections of this
gland of ours?
If there is, I have not found it—for
the one thing which impressed me
most was the unity of the purpose on
basic questions. The difference lies in
the method by which that purpose is
to be achieved.
Fundamentally the desires are the
same—a home, a family, honest work
at fair recompense, friends and leisure
time enough to enjoy life. But these
desires imply other things as well—
a home safe from fear a family grow
ing together with common ideals and
aspirations honest work at some con
structive task, at a recompense that
will enable a family to live decently,
honestly and with enough margin to
save for the future friends who are
free to be loyal and kind leisure in
which to learn and in which to take
part in community life, to serve as a
citizen for the betterment of all.
These are the basic aspirations. But
they require peace and prosperity to
work them out: Not a peace of ap
peasement nor a prosperity' of wild
speculation, but a peace based on jus
tice toward all and a prosperity with
a sound economic footing.
We can achieve this goal in our time
—for our children's time—if we act
as a nation. We are the greatest sin
gle force in the world today, if we
act as ONE—not in slovish obedience,
but in willing cooperation. We have
the natural resources and the pro
ductive ability to make us the strong
est power in the world. We have the
potential brain power to achieve eco
nomic stability. We have the moral
force to determine peace and to
achieve justice for all markind.
But we can't do it by sitting back
on the side lines criticizing. The peo
ple of this country want the same
things, no matter for what party they
vote, or to which church they go. Let
us, the people of the United States,
act together now. Let us not be mis
led by agitators—alien or domestic—
or publicity seeking dissenters into
thinking there is disunity. Let us weld
the bonds of unity stronger than ever
to prove to the world that by virtue
of our common ideal, we are ONE
PEOPLE.
