Editorial—
AMERICA BUILT BY WORK
'■ :■ *W.

"Property,” said Abraham Lincoln, "is the fruit of
lfbor. Property is desirable. It is a positive good in the
world. That some would be rich shows that others may
become rich and hence is just encouragement to in-
dustry and enterprise."
Those words of Lincoln need to be remembered and
thoughtfully considered today. Some Americans, parti-
cularly among our young people, have fallen for the
line that capitalism is outmoded, that personal enter-
prise is piracy, and that private property 1s a sin.
The master word in the building of America has
been WORK. It did not occur to the Founding Fathers
that Americans would ever lose their faith in their
ability to meet the obligations of everyday life. They
were confident that local self-government was the
foundation stone of democracy. They were Jealous of
—the independence which each Individual state had won
—from Great Britain. When the Union was finally form-
ad, they were careful to put in the Constitution the ex-
plicit statement that all powers not specifically granted
to the federal government were reserved to the states
or to the people.
What brought about the change to a paternalistic,
strongly entrenched central government?
More than Ahything else, the answer is in the de-
_ cllne of that once great body, the Supreme Court of the
United States. Casting aside judicial precedents, the
supreme court in recent years has so construed the
term “general welfare” in the preamble of the consti-
tution as to result in the creation of a welfare state.
. The court’s decisions have resulted in a sad deteriora-
tion of Initiative, thrift, and incentive, and the results
are not good for any of us.

THE ALMANAC
By Halted Press International
Today is Monday. Oct. 9, the
a stampede among Lone Star Democrats of Jeffersonian; 282nd day of the year with 83
views.
As reported by Human Events. Mr. Cox said:
“For over a decade, loyal, thinking Texans Who val-
ue ttoeir political independence, the rights of states, the
goond financial handling of taxpayers’ money and Con-
stitutional government have been faced with a dire1 foun(ie^'
political dilemma: the customary blind loyalty to the
Democratic Party, regardless of platform or leadership. Y4gqglavia on a state
versus the historical and fundamental principles of
government on which Texas and these United States of
France, was assassinated by a
member of a Croatian terrorist
organization.
In 1953, Pope Pius the 12th,
the 261st Pontiff of the Roman
Catholic Church died.
A thought for today: British
writer John Gay said: “Life is a

In 1701, Yale College was from the boiling point of water—
, 212 degrees — on the daytime
Alexander of side of the planet to 10 degrees
visit to below zero on the dark side.
In 1934. King
America were founded.”
Castigating the “Harry Truman — Adlal Stevenson
— Walter Reuther — Eleanor Roosevelt — dominated
Democratic party” as “dedicated to a course which can
lead only to the destruction of the basic political and
eirii rights guaranteed by our Constitution”, Mr. Cox
cdncluded:
“It should not be a question of party loyalty. Rath-
er it is a question of an individual citizen being loyal
to the basic principles of government in which he be-
lieves and then determining the established political
party in which and through which these basic princi-
ples of government — and a way of life — can be put
into operation in an orderly and successful manner.”
And while disturbed Democrats In Texas are think-
inf this over — might the millions of others in 49
other states. Whether he’s a New York Democrat or an
Oregon Democrat or Kansas Democrat he knows per-
fectly well what Mr. Jefferson would think of the pre-
sent trend toward Socialistic central control.

lyrEW YORK —Dong Kingman dropped by
Xi today and I had the damdest time trying
to get him to be an inscrutable Oriental.
“What kind of inscrutable ia that?” I de-
manded, as be started telling some funny
atorieg and laughing louder at them than I
did. ‘'You’re supposed to be enigmatic. Your
face ia supposed to be a mask. You're sup-
posed to be the Yellow Peril.”
“HUli?” Dong said, still chortling. “You
sure ypu haven't got me mixed up with some
other‘kat, Jack?”
Kingman is a Chinese-American and, as
such, has been what old Harry Balogh, the
fight announcer, would have called a credit
to his race. He is one of the world's finest
artists, he has taught painting extensively, he has been a Gug-
genheim Fellow and currently he has done the exquisite water-
colors that depict the story line in the film of "Flower Drum
Song.” Kingman is small, but of stature.
Kingman, however, is about as Chinese as my foot. He lived
13 years in Hong Kong, he knows the Orient thoroughly and he
is at home in Manhattan’s and San Francisco’s Chinatown as
anyone. He even speaks with what I guess is a Chinese accent
(crossed with Brooklynese). But actually is nothing but one of
us annoying old professional New Yorkers.
• • * •
“I LIVE RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Plaza Hotel," Kingman
said, beaming, “and I been In love with this city ever since I
first came here in 1942 with my Guggenheim fellowship. I re-
member first day I arrived. I rushed right into the subway.
Had to get into the subway. Everything was going fast, so fast;
and I watched it and listened to roar of city and 1 thought, ‘Olb
boy”"
That first day. the subway took Dong down to the City Hall
area and, as if he’d been doing it all his life, he took out his
sketch pad, sat down, and began drawing the old Herald Tribune
building by Park Row. The light-and-shadow contrast of the sun
across the giant buildings just fractured him, as the Orientals

have to tell me: I knew that was an old Chinese idiom.
Of all the places Dong has painted here, he likes downtown,
particularly along the East River waterfront-scenes such as
the Fulton Fish Market—best. When he taught at Hunter Col-
lege. he'd take his classes right out into the city to paint and
watch him paint.
“That funny thing.” he said, grinning. "Paaaersby never stop
to watch artist—unless he is using pretty girl. Every time I
start painting pretty girl, they stop and look. I must draw con-
clusion that they not interested in art, only pretty glrL Hey,
Jack?” I told him Confucius certainly said a mouthful there.

DURING WORLD WAR II, Kingman was In the O.8.S. but
never got oversea* during his year's service. "Maybe part my
fault," he said, laughing. "I told them Hey, I no hero. I’m an
artist. I want to paint.' So I was stationed in Washington, D. C,
and every day I would go out and paint. Tf any orders come
for me,’ I would aay. ‘you find me at Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue, doing litUe painting.”'
Speaking of New York’s Chinatown, Dong said It doesn’t seem
to change much over the years. “San Francisco's Chinatown is
different,” he says. "It’s a very swingin’ place. Full of night-
clubs and cocktail bars. My niece has place there called Rick-
shaw Bar. which was In that ‘Hong Kong1 television series a lot.
“What do you mean, Orientals don’t drink a lot and how can
my niece have a successful saloon ? That's a myth, Jack. I had
a little bar in Oakland once myself -and you never saw so many
drunken Japanese. Of course. I suspect they fake. They drink
up saki—and who can get loaded on sakl?--and then stagger
out?” I
Kingman tried to explain the basic difference between Chinese
and Japanese but didn t get very far. “We related, actually, I
guess.” he said with a shrug. “Chinese history says sn emperor
sent 6 000 boys and girls to populate Japan in sixth century or
no but Japanese claim they already on island when new arrival!
