Senator Robert Taft Calls for
True Liberals
!
In an address before the Doug
las County Republican Women:
Club at the Fontenelle Hotel or.
Friday, 13, 1948 Senator Rober
Toft of Ohio spoke on the sub
ject “What is a Liberal”. Accord ]
ng to Senator Taft every react- (
tonary group has taken the title j
of Liberal in order to meet it:
own gains. His definition of *
liberal is one that is in favor oi
freedom of thought, favors free
dom of others idears, etc. Any |
program that ^enids to' ■ destroy
freedom of thought is false and
reactionary in nature. Organiza
tions of all types pretend to be
liberal, special interest group:
have also, but none of trese organ
izations or special interest group
have sontributed one liberal
thought toward the welfare of all
the people of our nation. They
have gone so far as to use totola
tiary control and use of Facist
tactics to reach their objectiv<
for control over the country. Re
gimentation must be done away
with whether it be U. M. T.
Excess bureaus, unnecessari
controls, etc. Universal militar
| training in not necessary in time
of peace it id just another control
over the people of the country in
disguised by special interest gro
ups.
Enternal viligants is the price of
true liberalism.

UNBALANCED MEALS
No matter how nutritous with

of pancakes and waffles, whiclf
