Democrats Must Demand an Imaginative Foreign Policy What is our foreign policy ? This is a question to which the American people are entitled to an honest answer. It is not an answer that can be given by a party such as the Republican Party which fears and is in-capable of strong government, which is frightened of new ideas, which clings to the familiar and established, to which action means the agony of decision. , The free world can not hold its own with the communist world by standing still. A foreign policy of maintaining the strength and progress of free nations touches almost every activity in our national life. It cannot be achieved merely by elaborating a network of military alliances or manipulating the military budget to give illusion of greater strength for less money. It is not to be attained by sharp bargaining first with one nation and then with another; or by propaganda flourishes or eloquent com-muniques. It will not be accomplished by the listless adminis-tration of economic improvisations to meet needs which are obvious and enduring. The strength of free nations can be achieved only by sum-moning all of the energies of this nation to the task. Future generations may, we hope, be able to relax, to pursue happiness under less exacting circumstances. But this is not for our time. The duty of this nation to lead is inescapable. The duty of its government is to awaken the nation, to tell it the truth, the whole harsh, distasteful truth, and point the way to action. An observer from outside the world, understanding the human heart and its aspirations, would see the imposing strength of an authoritarian system over a free one. But he would con-clude, we think, that the imponderables were on the side of the Free World if it could find leaders who understood it. With that leadership he could foresee it growing in strength, vitality, and unity so that it would not be overcome by sudden attack or by subversive attrition, and would establish lasting limits to a system of tyranny and force. But he would also note that the time allotted to the free peoples to take this great task in hand was growing short. the LEASED GRAPEVINE f Salt Lake City's Air Traffic Control center at the Salt Lake Municipal Airport has a new chief controller. He is Robert B. Mayo, formerly deputy chief controller at Phoenix, Arizona. Mr. Mayo succeeds Harold How-ard, who announced his retire-ment earlier this year.

Jackson, Salt Lake County Health Inspector, has re-signed as a South Salt Lake City Councilman effective Jan. 15, 1960. Edward Q. Cannon, county commisioner in charge of Health and Charity announced. Mr. Can- - non had asked Mr. Jackson to resign either as a health inspec- - tor or as a South Salt Lake coun-cilman. Tentative budgets for 1960 are expected to be ironed out at a Saturday meeting of the South Salt Lake City Council. Salt Lake City Commission this week approved installation of yield right of way signs at the northeast and southwest cor-ner of Second North and Ninth West and Third North and Ninth West. Salt Lake County Commis-sioner Edwin Q. Cannon this week issued letters to his depart-ment heads to advise employes using county vehicles on county business not to use them for per-sonal affairs. Warning letters went to the County Board of Health, Zoning and Business In-spection, Licensing Department and Property Tax Department. Franklin D. Sawyer, assistant vice president of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co., has been elected president of the Great Salt Lake Council of Boy Scouts of America. Utah's share of federal aid funds for fish and game restora-tion projects amounts to ap-proximately $20,000 less for-- the current year than was the case in 1958, according to the depart-ment of fish and game. Under the apportionment to the various states, Utah will re-ceive $70,748 for fish restoration ad $288,185 for game restoration projects. The total $358,933 com-pares with the 1958 apportion-ment of $378,812. Funds for the federal aid pro-gram are derived from excise taxes collected at the manufac-turing source of sporting arms, ammunition and sports fishing equipment. Sportsmen pay the excise tax when purchasing the items. Funds collected are ap-portioned to the states each year on the basis of land area and number of license holders in the state. - ;. Donald W. Ranson, aviation structural mechanic airman ap-prentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Ranson of 3108 So. 10th St., is serving at the Naval Air Station, Alameda, Calif. Before entering the Navy in March, 1959, he graduated from South High School. "This is For My Brother . . . " In many countries across the world, the poorest children get CARE food at school often, the first and only meal they have all day. At a school in Colombia, a CARE representative saw several youngsters placing half their CARE roll in their pockets. Why? One little boy explained: "This is for my brother. He's too young to come to school." Not all the lavish gifts Americans will exchange this year can match the gift of that hungry child who shared his lunch with the brother who had none. By joining the annual holiday season CARE Food Crusade, you can share our plenty with the hungry in 15 countries of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. The foods are mainly commodities donated by the U. S. Government from our farm abundance flour to bake into bread and rolls, powdered milk, corn meal. Every dollar you-giv- e send one package of life giving food, delivered with your name and address to make it a personal act. of sharing. You can "mail your dollars to CARE Food Crusade, 660 First Avenue, New York 16, N. Y. Your gifts will reach destitute refugees, orphans, disaster victims, under-nourishe- d children at school and in their homes. Those who. get the food will know that in well-fe- d America another human being said, "This is for my brother." , - Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. H. G. Wells. |
