THE I HOOSIER ! DAY By FRANK A. WHITt 111 I am getting “weary" of the number of supposedly sensible persons who are chronically downgrad- : ing America and continuously eriti- ] I cizing our slate department. Con- > i gross and those we have put into office to run lais great nation of | ours. L This column is to tell the truth I; about some of the multitude of sue- i cesses the U. S. A. had in distressed countries of this troubled world.; Our policies can’t all be wrong for we have developed into the might- I, iest nation, the best fed nation, and overall the most respected country i |of the world. I Consider these facts. End of 1 World War II saw Europe prostrate, saved from rule of Hitler, a ! Fascist madman, by American lives and fortune, supplementing our brave allies. We developed the Marshal plan that kept Communism from flowing into the vacuum of central Europe. . We saved our greatest world mat- , l et and have seen the Common Market about wipe out proverty. | Western Germany with our assistance has arisen from ashes and France from defeat. Unemployment has been ail but wiped out and peace and stability have come. I was a war correspondent with General MacArthur on the scene, and I saw a prostrate and ravaged Philippines. We stopped Japan that was out to dominate China and extend conquest through South East Asia. The Philippines are stable and saved from Communism, and Reds did not dominate the Japanese when they were prostrate. Today, Japan is climbing in a leadership role of Asia along good old U. ( S. A. plans. With the Seventh Fleet. . without a war, we afforded a shield t to Formosa. It is a haven for the j brave people of China who would not submit to Communism and a , prosperous and stable country ex- ; perienced a boom. South Korea cost us plenty in t blood and treasure, and we did not t get a military victory. Hiwever, the • “mess" of what is South Korea is . doing well economically.

Responsibilities —

By David Bushong

Each year at this time the classes in Syracuse high school elect officers to guide the student body for the coming school year. The most important officer is the president of the student council or student body. The responsibilities of this office are many and varied. He or she, as the case may be. is the “voice" of the students and is their representative in all matters. The council meets with the faculty and helps to make the rules and regulations that govern the aetivitough one, costly in lives and money for there were traitors in every village, but the British did it. Malaya is on the up and up. and Singapore is the gateway for East and West trade. New Zealand and Australia have been strengthened. Our vast surpluses have kept millions and millions from starvation in India. Our state department and our efforts contributed to Indonesia kicking out a communist ruler and saved that country for a free world. We have a big hand in stabalizing Thailand and Cambodia and keeping them from Communist take over. Viet Nam is the key to the dam to keep Red Chinese and Communism from taking over all Asia. The U. S. A. alone has the strength and resources to halt this take over. South East .Asia with its vast land masses and three-fifths of the world population may well be the deciding factor whether our children and grandchildren live under Communism or in a free world. Our role in this troubled world has been the greatest venture in philanthropy in all history. We have claimed not one square foot of ground nor one dollar of profit. Yet, in the face of these proud achievements, of which I am proud as all patriotic citizens are. we have Lord Russell’s “phoney* court” trying our President and leaders in Sweden for murder in Viet Nam. We are witnessing a war on two fronts. One is in Viet Nam; the other is in the U. S. A. We have given a shameful amount of press, radio and television space to foes who would destroy America. Witness the disgraceful affair where bearded, long-haired Dartmouth college students fought police furiously but will not fight for their country’. Students who profess to beOere in free speech yet broke up a meeting addressed by former .-Alabama governor George C. Wallace. with whom we may disagree. That brand of "pacifism” could get us killed, and this disunity is killing American boys in Viet Nam.

Surely, no one will misread where I stand in this critical hour.

ties of our school. When convocations are held the president introduces the entertainment groups to the student body. Presiding over the student council meetings is another one of the many responsibilities. Last, but not least, the president of the student body has the reputtation of our school on his siioulders whether it be gwd or bad. Everyone with whom he comes in contact is influenced by the way he talks, acts, and dresses. In fact each student, in his own small way. carries the reputation of our school.
