Show For Lord's Sake Don't Call Me! Newsweek recently printed a letter from one of its readers, John J. Wicker, Jr., which began: "Everybody is in favor of economy; everybody is in favor of reducing taxes but and this is always a big BUT everybody wants the economy applied somewhere else." Mr Wicker then said this situation reminded mm of an old British Army marching song which went about as follows: "Call out the Army and the Navy Call out the blooming rank and file Call out the good old Territorials They'll face the danger with a smile. "Call all the old battalions that made old England free Call out mv father, my brother, or any other But, for Lord's sake, don't call me!" That attitude has been domincnt for 20 years. We've finally readied the point where, if we are to have honest and economical government, which is as essential to our security and survival as military power itself, they're going go-ing to have to call you! |
