EDITORIAL,..
Galahads and the Dragon
Here is an odd ajnd interesting coincidence: Recently
Vice President Henry Wallace, in a speech at Dallas, sav-
agely assailed transportation “monopolies.”
While Ml Wallace was in Dallas, his personal friend
•Gerald Mann, attorney general of Texas, visited him—as
Mr. Mann sometimes does when he is in Washington.
And then, soon after Mr. Wallace’s blast at monopolies,
Attorney General Mann flung down the gage of battle to
monopoly generally—presumably presaging a campaign
for governor or some other office on that issue. He hints
that his gattle may be pitched specifically for higher oil
and gas taxes, for he declared in hi* anti-monopoly speech
at Dallas Tuesday, in which he had promised to state his
political “philosophy,” that monopolists’ lobbyists have
“filled our legislative halls ... to prevent our taxing
sufficiently the oil and gas we produce.”
The coincidence is extended further, in that both Wal-
lace and Mann made monopoly a major issue, for the first
time in their Dallas speeches, although, as political com-
mentators jiave pointed out, whatever basis there ma> be
for their charges must have been apparent to them foi
years in Washington and Austin respectively.
Well, trust-busting has been a popular vote-getting issue
in Texas. Jim Hogg set the style. He ran for governor on
an anti-monopoly platform, and after being elected he
secured passage "of the stringent Hogg-anti-trust laws,
still in effect. He had the railroad commission created to
curb the hog-wild common carriers. Jimmie Allred rode
into the attorney general’s office on an anti-trust platform,
and free-wheeled into the governorship on the ambitious
anti-trust suit he filed against a dozen or more oil com-
panies. The suit finally petered out—after accomplishing
nothing more important than whatever votes it attracted.
The Post shares Mr. Mann’s expressed aversion to
monopolies, as no doubt all right-thinkiir; Texans do.
Our laws are strongly against them. If the trust octupus
ciiTcLin is reaching its slimv tentacles about the industrial, - , ,
necks of our fair State and our fair Nation, we sincerely
trust that Messrs. Wallace and Mann, or somebody for
goodness’ sake, will come to the rescue. However, just
now it appears to us that the really grave danger ton-
fronting the republic is that of industry’s falling into the
clutches of the most absolute monopoly of all—that of
socialistic government control. that is a trust with which . ■ ,
there can he no competition in free enterprise ; a monopoly. o-tween democracy on th* on* h»n« . ny* define those rules, but we

So you are sick of the way the country is run.
And you are sick of the way rationing is done;
And you are sick of standing around in line
You’re sick, you say—well that’s just fine.
So I’m sick, of the sun and the heat—
And I’m sick of the feel of my aching feet
And I’m sick of the mud and the jungle flirt
And I’m sick of the stench when the night mists rise
And I’m sick of the siren’s wailing shridk
And I’m sick of the groans of the wounded and weak
And I’m sick of the sound of the bomber’s dhre.
And I’m sick of seeing the dead alive
And I’m sick of the roar and noise and din
And I’m sick of the taste of food from a tin
And I’m sick of slaughter—-I’m sick to my soul. ^
I’m sick of playing a killer’s role.
And I’m sick of blood and death and smell
And I’m even sick of myself as well.
But I’m sicker still of a tyrant’s role.
And conquered lands where the wild beasts drool.
And I’m cured damn quick, when I think of the day,
When all this Hell will be out of the way,
When none of this mess will have been in vain
And the lights of the world will blaze again;
And things will be as they were before,
And kids will laugh in the Streets once more,
And the Axis flags will be dipped and furled
And God looks down on a peaceful world.

Staunch Christian Democracy Is

President of Texas University Reports
On Observations After Tour of State on
Speaking Mission for Churches.
AUSTIN, Nov. 23.—To solve the conflict between the principles of
Christian democracy and patriotic loyalty to the state, the individual
must exercise his "supreme function” by “sitting in moral judgment on
the state’s policies ancj program, and insisting that these shall conform
to moral and spiritual principles,” declared Dr. Homer P. Rainey, Uni-
eversity of Texas president, here this week.
Dr. Rainey early in November —and th* demofcratip point of view

In calling for "unconditional sur-

“The Atlantic Charter and other
'commitments of Christianity and
democracy" have aroused in the
people of the world the most deep-
seated desires and ambitions for
liberty and freedom from want and
economic oppression, and they will
not be satisfied until a large meas-
ure of those commitments are ful-
filled," he said.
“The democratic point of view
arises out of the fact that we are
all children of a common Father,"
he decelared. "and that we therefore

of about 1,110.500 persons' is eight

The Power To Tax Is the Power
To Destroy
I Continuing its senes. “The Power to Tax is the Power to Destroy,"
the South Texas Chamber of Commerce is this week presenting
Ihe viewpoint of its national legislative counsel, Roy Miller
of Corpus .Christi.)
SAN ANTONIO.—Democracy cannot endure among an
indifferent people. With taxes mounting, regimentation
expanding and bureaucratic rules being imposed upon our
most commonplace activities, it seems that never has in-
telligent exercise of the responsibilities of suffrage and
•ciitzenship generally been more important.
Ths South Texas Chamber of Commerce would tell no man how to
vote, but it does urge, with elections approaching again, that all persons
ponder well the issues and candidates an<i reflect their honest convic-
tiona it the polls.
Otherwise, naked Roy I.eenvin, ’ const it ut inns diligently study the

Why should we fear commun-
ism? Communism doesn’t have any-
thing to offer that can match the
fundamental liberties on which
democracy is based.
“Communism denies those funda-
mental liberties—'intellectual and
religious. There is no such thing as
freedom in either communism or
‘^.fascism. There is. instead, power
imposed from above.
"Our fear arises out of the fait
that we have lost somq,of our faith:
in Christian democratic principles.
Wo need to recapture that, faith,
and Christian democracy wili again

religion and in international life."
Dr. Rainey declined that the re-
cent speaking mission, in which
he was joined in Texas by three
other religious leaders—Raul Hut-
chinson of the Christian Century;
.John Mackay of Princeton Theo-
logical Seminary; and Miss Alice
Jones of th* International Council
of Religious Education—• had ac-
complished significant results in
“Clarifying and harmonizing the
Conflict between the demands of
patriotism to the state, which is
now requiring war. and the de-
mands of Christian democracy."
He pointed out that the differ-
ence between the totalitarian point
of view—in which the state is su-
preme and the individual belongs
to the state, "body, mind and soul"
them if they dp not meet otir con-
sciousness of spiritual and moral
values.
"it is here, then, that the indi-
vidual exercises his highest func-
tion as a Christian citizen.
“He should sit in moral judgment
on the state's policies arid program
and irtslst that these shall conform
to moral and spiritual principles.”
In this way, he explained, the
mission harmonized the problem of
loyalty to the state vs. Christian
democracy.
A second purpose of the mission,
he said, was "to raise the question
of what kind of peace we want.”
“That peace must be Just and
durable, and must be founded on
Christian and democratic ideals, he
declared.
‘ It is Necessary that Our country
assume the role. of leadership and'
responsibility in the post - war
world. There is greater danger Of
Oqr slipping aglliti into isolation and
of denying responsibility for world
affairs.”
The United States “muffed its
chance" after World War I. he
asserted. “It is not often that a
nation gets a second chance, but it
seems as though we are going to
have that second opportunity."
Because of the United States’
position As the World’s No. 1 mili-
tary, economic and political power,
“we can t throw off our responsi-
bility.'' he declared. “We must as-

DA LLA S.—George Waller, adver-
tising last week for a pressman for
his print shop, promised cold beer
all day, free lunches and smokes,
and a guarantee that the boss did
all the heavy lifting and didn't
complain.
He said last night he had re-
ceived only two calls, one from a
man who said his wife had been
trying to get him to go to work for
four or five years, but that he
hadn't found a job he liked—this
might be it.
Waller said he had failed to men-
