PLEASANT, IOWA THD iTtg By Paul Mallon (Distributed by King Feature Syndicate, Inc., Reproduction In Full or in Part Strictly Prohibited.) WASHINGTON—-DEAR JIM: You raised an interesting criticism of my post ar expressions. You are correct in your deduction that I personally do not attempt to live on the same principle of self-lnterant which I advocate for our foreign polis)’. The perplexing questions you raise are: 'Can there be a great deal of dif-ference between individual morality and national and international mora-ity?” ’ Aren’t selfishness and greed at the root of most of cur troubles of all kinds?" In my life, I have never found selfishness to be a wise policy The man who practice1 Mich a principle in business or in human relationships will find people freezing him out He will not get as far as a person who prac-tic' an even generosity of spirit. „ ■ — .—■im ■»....................... 1 • I President Accepts Brown Resignation John Grimes Appointed To State Office They’ll Do It Every Time - - - Feehan Changes Named For Unexpired Term As Treasurer I>'s Moines, la —(INS) - Gov.
