u. 5. Business Must
Stake Friends Abroad,
Charles Taft Says
Rx the Assoeioted Press

HOT SPRINGS, Va, June IL
United States businessmen, to de-
fend the free enterprise system,
must stake our busted friends" in
other countries-not by handouts,
but by self liquidation reconstruc-
tion-Charles p. Taft, president OF
the Federal Council of Churches OF
Christ in America, declared here
last night.
Speaking at the banquet session
of the American Drug Manufac-
turers Association in its 35th annual
meeting, he said this country must
engage in the same kind of "dy-
manic expansion" into the world
as England did in the 10th century.
Government loans can't be. paid
off on the basis of imports to the
United States, but rather we must
invest-perhaps at low rate OF
interest,". Mr.. Taft asserted.
Businessmen In this country,
whom he termed totally made
quate' in defending the free enter
prise system, are up against the
state of mind of the working peo-
pie, he said.
Citing an intensive survey of a
New England town during strike
at a shoe concern, Mr.. Taft said
results showed that the working per-
son is hostile to foreigners and to
people with more money or more
security. They're convinced, he
added, that hard work and educa-
ton don't really count toward pro-
motion.
OF the world situation, he said,
England, France, Italy, Belgium
and others-they're all fighting for
their lives they're fighting
pressure from outside and infil-
tration from within. We can't wait
for people behind the iron curtain
to find out about democracy. ."

NORTH CAROLINA
SETS new RECORD
Revenue Collections For
March Reach All-Time
High, Report Says

GREENSBORO, April 1-R-An
all-time record for internal revenue
collections in the North Carolina
district was established last month
when Tar Heels paid $136, 934, 082.07
into the federal Golfers.
The record March figure brought
collections for the first nine months
of the current fiscal year to $685.
074, 766. Sc. Charles H. Robertson,
internal revenue collector for the
district, expressed the opinion that
there is little doubt collections for
the year will be more than a bill
lion dollars.
A report on the collections wa
issued by Robertson here today.

cision to make-well, she doesn't
seem to realize we're grown up,
IL at we have minds of our own.
She still seems to look on us as
children - or she did," Sherry
amended, until Val married. OF
course, it's different with Va
now"
II should think 3d." Lex said
drily.
Sherry's tone grew rueful. "Tm
afraid I've given you a very bad
impression of Mother. And I didn'1
mean to. But you're so easy tc
talk to, you break down my in.
hibitions. Mothers a grand per.
son in many ways she only
wants me to be happy. 1t s-just
that our ideas Of happiness don't
seem to agree"
Happiness means different
things to different people" Lex
tossed his cigarette away. It made
a bright arc in the darkness. "But
you'll work it out, Sherry. AS You
say, when you know definitely
what you want to do, it'll be diff.
ferent. You'll have the courage to
hold out Cor your own form of hap
piness. I know it."
II hope So" Sherry said. "But
sometimes l feel so insure, SC
confused"
Everyone has spells like that"
Lex assured her stoutly. "3spe-
cially nowadays - it's partly the
times, l think. The whole world
is pretty insure and confused. We
thought the war was going to set
tie so many things. Now it looks
as though it only served to bring
our problems into sharper focus
and we've still got to work them
cut the best we can. Way l fig
ure, life's got almost too compli
Gated for humans to cope with. "A
little simplication would be a
good thing. Maybe that's why the
idea of life in the country, Of
farming, appeals to me. Lots OF
people are S tarting to get the
same urge. Maybe it's an uncon-
scious striving toward a way OF
life that's fundamental and solid.
Look at Steve and all the others
like him. They've got their feet
on the ground. They work hard.
They watch the seasons turn.
They draw their living from the
land and it isn't an easy living,
but it's sure. There's a rightness,
an integrity, in their sort of Life
that fills a lot Of human needs"

Sherry and Lex came out OF
the darkened theater into
the bright glare OF the lobby,
laughing.
THAT was fun" Lex said. Il
like a good comedy"
$50 do l." Sherry agreed, tying
her white wool scarf under her
chin, pulling on her mittens.
They made their way out and
along the almost deserted village
street toward the spot where Lex
had parked the car. There had
been no snow for several weeks
ano all the drifts had melted
away. The night was chill and
clear and MINDLESS and the stars
were a giant handful of sequins
thrown against the velvet back
drop of the sky.
Sherry said. ITS such a lovely
night, Lex. AID I'm tired ct sit
ting. Let's walk down and take a
look at the river"
Lex agreed ard Don they were
leaning on the stone. parapet OF
the bridge, staring down at the
darkly murmurous flow Of wa'er.
They were alone. Only an occa
sional sweep of headlights from a
passing car intruded on their prl-
vacy. -
Sherry said. "lt's a nice old
river. I wonder how many her
people have stood and looked
down at it this way?"
"Plenty," Lex ~chuckled. But

'Why? The rivers just as n ce
now as any other time"
"Sure, it is. Only most people
kind of forget about it in the VIM
ter, unless they're going skating
or something. You're just differ
ent, Sherry. You have differ ent
ideas than most people"
'Is that good?" Sherry asked,
grinning up at him across her
shoulder.
II think it is Lex told het. Il
like people who are different Too
many seem all turned out Of the
same mold. Maybe that's modern
civilization, but it gets kind Of
monotonous. It's worse in cities,

individualists in a little town like
this. Take Steve - he's the way
he is and nothing could change
him. Aunt Pens a nonconfornist
in lots Of ways, too. And there are
plenty of others. It's refreshing"
