We Lose Face Either Way
What can we do in Korea?
The man, or men, that can answer that one would get the $64.
It is generally conceded that we have taken a licking and the
chances are excellent that we will be pushed out entirely if the Chi
nese are willing to expend the men and material necessary to do
the job.
There isn’t much doubt that Chinese and North Koreans have
the men to push us into the sea if they feel so inclined, and there
isn’t too much we can do about it. Actually we have only about two
alternatives which may be considered. We can stay and fight to the
bitter end or we can merely fight a delaying action to gain the
necessary time to carry out an evacuation of the greatest number
of men and material possible. Perhaps the choice has already been
made. It would be foolish indeed to stay and fight, knowing all the
time that victory is impossible.
To follow a course such as that would bring back memories of
Hiller and foolhardy, futile stands he made before Stalingrad, re- ‘
fusing to retreat even though it was the only correct military so
lution to the problem.
It has been said that we must fight to the last man in order to
“save face.” To our way of thinking we would be saving more face
by recognizing an impossible position, withdrawing and living to
fight another day. A complete military disaster would certainly in
volve complete loss of face and it appears as if that is what it will
be if we are compelled to fight 1,330,000 Chinese with a force of a
little over 100,000.
Make It Honest!
(Guest Editorial from Dakota County Star)
The biennial campaign to broaden Nebraska’s tax base already
has begun.
The assault again this year will be to capture the two percent
sales tax.
We hope the sales tax is sold on the basis of its merits, and not,
hidden behind the easy claim of “replacement.”
Every session the sales tax proposals are forwarded with the '
argument the income would replace taxes already on personal and j
real property.
This argument is a fraud!
Nebraska is threatening to bust its budgetary stems because
most divisions of state government want more money. Property tax
es don’t raise enough funds to carry out the type of government so
many of us seem to think we must have today.
So if a sales tax comes, don’t say it will replace our property
tax when we know it won’t.
Call it the tax to get more money for schools, for higher sal
aries, for the University of Nebraska, or for assistance. But let’s not!
keep trying to kid the people of Nebraska.
Replacement in Nebraska’s economy is another Dodo bird—it’s
extinet.

Some folks think that fine

the most important things in life,
but these things really don’t mean
too much if a person doesn’t feel
well enough to enjoy them. Most

very welL Mrs.
Braswell takes
HADACOL,
and by taking
HADACOL
she found she
is helping her
system overcome deficiencies of
Vitamins Bi, Bt, Niacin and Iron,
which HADACOL contains.
Here is Mrs. Braswell's own
statement: “I have been sick for
some time with stomach dis
turbances. I began taking HAD
ACOL and I have been taking it
about six weeks. I am so much
better and much stronger. 1 will
continue to take HADACOL. It
sure has helped me. I tell my
J friends about HADACOL. I canrt
1 praise HADACOL too much. I
am 59 years old.”
