This sounds, at first glance, like confirmation of the be-

reflection upon the common-sense, the public spirit anil the
charity of the people of this nation to talk such tommyrot as
“starving millions in the midst of plenty," as we heard one
fulminator over the radio put it the other night
The plain fact seems to us to be that there is too strong
a tendency on the part of most people to believe the worst;'
too many people who take a keen delight in magnifying ev-f
ery tale of woe. Then there is always the fringe of the dis-
contented who are only too happy to find some excuse for
declaring that our government has broken down and our civ-
ilization has proved itself a failure. Some of that talk is in-
spired by Communism, which is just another word for the
scheme of turning public affairs over to the lazy and inconi
petent. Some of it is just a deliberate attempt to stir the!
emotions of the simple-minded who enjoy turning on the
tears ...
Whatever its origin, we resent it. Hard times or no hard
times, the United States is better off today than any other;
nation in the world, and we are neither starving nor letting
any one else starve if we find out their need.
