DEWEY ON FOREIGN POLICY The millions of Americans who have waited eagerly for specific pronouncements of foreign policy from Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Republican candidate for President, had a chance to appraise both his views and his actions recently, when he both challenged the opposition on its activities and assented to cooperate with Secretary of State Hull to find a better path for our nation to tread in the future. Developments came fast after Governor Dewey issued his statement in which he championed the rights of small nations to help write the peace to come. Secretary of State Hull invited Governor Dewey to send a representative to talk over foreign policy. Dewey quickly responded by appointing John Foster Dulles, noted student of foreign affairs, as his personal representative. Every American who has believed, and has wanted to believe, that this war is being fought for something besides another era of power politics—and, eventually, another war 25 years from now—can obtain renewed hope and courage from the Dewey statement on foreign policy, issued shortly before the "big three" met at historic Dumbarton Oaks in Washington to make preliminary peace plans. In his statement, Dewey reveals again his broad vision and emphasized once more his capacity for basic thinking. As always, he outlines the "areas of agreement" in American life, rather than trying to split the people into opposing camps. He declares: "The American people are agreed upon the need for world organization. It is a bi-partisan objective. It has been repeatedly urged by the Republican Party and its leaders. The future of the world will depend upon the ideals, the sound thinking and the justice of the results achieved at these conferences." The task of defeating the enemy, as Governor Dewey points out, of necessity falls on the shoulders of the big four—America, Britain, China and Russia. However, as he makes equally clear, if these four nations try to rule the post-war world, we will "sink into the abyss of power politics." "As Americans, we believe with all our hearts in the equality and the rights of small nations and minorities," Dewey declares. "We believe in the essential equality and dignity of the individual, wherever he lives. We believe in his right to freedom as well as our own. We do not believe that we or any other power has the inherent right to control his destiny. We are fighting this war to a victorious conclusion for these very principles. They must not be lost in a synical peace by which any four powers dominate the earth by force." Few intelligent Americans will disagree with Dewey that "the kind of world organization we seek must concern itself with the basic causes of world disorder... It must promote a world opinion that will influence the nation to right conduct... It must develop inter-rooms now occupied from $125 per month. The trustee that the city cannot afford to rent the rental asked. There were present Mayor Erie Trustees Backs, Managers Gibbs. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the big service flag presents the city by Dr. Jessururu flung to the breeze on a stretched from the First N.Bank building to the S.Q.R.I. It contains 302 stars, represents the number of Anaheim bodies were in the service during war, and only two of them gold which is remarkable coining that many of them partied in the fiercest of the fight ward the close of the war. Although the foundations building are not yet begun corner stone of the magpie temple shortly to be erected the Anaheim Elks was deceived by an impressive ceremony day afternoon. Grand Exaltion Frank L. Rain came from home in Nebraska to talk in the ceremonies. Exalted T. L. McFadden was assisted ritualistic work by Chaplain Osborne, Secretary W. C., and Treasurer F. A. Back.

"We believe in the essential equality and dignity of the individual, wherever he lives. We believe in his right to freedom as well as our own.

Few intelligent Americans will disagree with Dewey that "the kind of world organization we seek must concern itself with the basic causes of world disorder. . . It must promote a world opinion that will influence the nation to right conduct. . . It must develop international law. . . It must create an international tribunal to deal with international disputes." The small nations will like this Dewey statement, for it has been a long time since they heard any such reassuring words from the White House; the idealists will like this statement, for it makes clear that Dewey has not supposed, cynically, that wars are inevitable and cannot be kept from our shores; the practical men of America will like this statement—and the subsequent Dewey moves—because they know that the small nations in the past have been the powder-kegs by which the explosions of big wars have come about—and that any peace that leaves out the small nations leaves out ghosts of potential conflict that may rise to haunt us again in another generation.

This was purchased so that the building could be set far enough back to spare the magnificent trees. Among the stateliest in Anaheim, these trees, by the way were planted by Dr. Hardin, prominent pioneer physician, in the early 1870's, whose home occupied this corner and was one of the landmarks of early days in Anaheim. Judge J. S. Howard and wife left Monday for the north, the judge being a delegate to the I.O.O.F. encampment at Santa Cruz.

Congressman Bowers will address the people of this vicinity at the opera-house next Thursday evening. Mr. Bowers has done more for the industries of southern California than any representative we have ever had at the national capital, and will undoubtedly be re-elected as congressman.

Boege, is attending the Orange County Business College. Houser Would Free Farmer From ‘Bureau’ Bungling “Farmers of California are rightfully demanding the kind of representation that will not keep farmers saying ‘Washington does not understand our western problems’,” Lt. Governor Fred Houser, candidate for the U.S. Senate, said this week in a state-wide broadcast. Slashing at bureaucrats who have bungled the farm labor situation, Houser pledged that he would not sit idly by while bureaucrats in Washington fight over who shall control farm labor placements. Houser said that throughout the wartime emergency “red-tape and regimentation have been wound so thoroughly around the famer that he stands at the crossroads today where he must either be represented by a champion of individual enterprise, initiative and private ownership of land in a republic, or face domination of farm people by a government operating under socialistic principles, dictated by an overwhelming bureaucracy.” Houser told the farmers that he believed in preservation of the American market for the American farmer and that he does not believe in breaking American market prices by diplomatic trading in an effort to buy foreign good-will. Speaking of rationing and price ceilings which have harassed the farmers of California, Houser said, “Hog men have seen fine brood sows sold to slaughter at every sale in California recently. More hog men are being put out of business by this bungling.” The candidate proposed to fight for the right of the hog men to stay in business, sell their hogs when they are ready for market and at a fair price. He also pledged support of the wool growers who are faced with imported piles of wool selling at less than American wool prices. Houser charged that the fruit growers of the state are harassed daily with the changing welter of confusion and New Deal controls, and these controls must be eliminated. Frank Baum recently sold his residence at the corner of Los Angeles and Adele street to Mr. Le Duc, the consideration being $7,000. Mr. Baum is building a new home on Adele.

The hair is drawn into a small knot high on the head, and the comb in front of the pert knot is very becoming to a bright faced, pretty girl. Senator Perkins' speech was one of the most notable of the campaign. Senator Perkins had become endeared to our people by his fair dealing with them in the lighterage business at Anaheim Landing, he being a member of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and the Landing in the early days being a port of considerable entry. During his campaign for governor sixteen years ago he visited Anaheim in company with George Knight and we rolled up for him a considerable majority.

HOPES TO MAKE HOME IN 'BEAUTIFUL CITY' Mrs John Lorencki of La Salle, Illinois, writes to order the Anaheim Gazette in order to learn more about Anaheim. She says, "I hope some day to make my home in your beautiful city." Along the "Route to Tokyo" Curves have been ironed out so trains may get around them faster. 13,147 miles of track serving the Southwest Santa Fe, as the map above shows, is an important lap on the "Route to Tokyo." That's why, during the past several months, travelers have seen armies of "Men at Work" all along our lines. Capacity of our yards has been increased. Curves have been ironed out so trains may get around them faster. New Diesel "head ends" are pulling bigger loads up mountain grades. Ingenious Centralized Traffic Control Systems have been installed at important points so the same rails can carry 50 per cent more traffic. A new Santa Fe bridge is now being built across the Colorado River. We have enlarged our capacity to meet the increasing loads of war. There will be no slackening of our job until the war is completely won.
