OLD AGE
A Sheet from the Scrap Book Of
Old Age

A Sheet from the Scrap Book Of
Old Age
BY T. A. Hall, Milford, Del.
Yes, we've heard the story
Often heard it told,
That most folk start to worry
When they feel they're growing
old.
But, have found this so
When years begin to steal,
And wrinkles begin to show
You're still no older than you feel
When the hair begins to turn
From gray to silver white.
And the feet begin to burn
So you just can't sleep at night.
And your back is a constant ache
Till you feel that you could weep
All night you lay awake
Hardly get wink of sleep.
And you wish and wish for morn,
Longing for the break of day,
Wish you never had been born
Don't know why you have to stay
Then the sun shines from the East
The terrors of night just shrink,
And then to say the least
You're no older then you think.
Each stage of life you know
Is crowned with some successes,
And as through life we go,
l know the good Lord blesses.
To old and young alike l tell,
To each and all is given,
Time to turn from the road t
He'll,
And find the road to Heaven. 1

SHIP STRIKE

The big news seems to concern
the American Merchant Marine,
with 700 ships tied up by a CLIO
labor strike.
Most of the shipping concerns
haven't even admitted, up to date,
that they are doing a regular and
orderly business, carrying pass
engers or freight. But it does seem
that shipments of Cuban and Puer-
to Rican sugar were soaring when
the quit work" whistle blowed.
Americas tremendous ship
ments of grain and coal to war
ravaged nations of Europe and
Asia have been disrupted. Coun-
tries depending upon us for the
necessities of life are involved.
Shipping strikes are always SER
ious matters. Who would expect
ship-owners would be compelled to
buckle down to Go union bosses,
under all the present conditions
and circumstances? 1t beats the
dickens how these strikes contin-
ue hitting industries that are sim
ply able to creep along.

that firm strings will be attached
to future loans and gifts and sub
sides. A good many commentators
feel that European governments
have wasted much of the money so
far advanced and, in some cases,
have been more interested in build
ing political organizations than in
trying to put their countries on
their economic feet. Public opin-
ion seems all in favor of stopping
that.
The Marshall Plan obviously is
based in part on such considera-
tons. 1t says, in effect, that Eu-
rOpean rehabilitation is the duty
of Europe, and that aid from us
can be given only if all the coun-
tries involved cooperate to the linn
it. 1t thus marks an effort to
break down geographical, politi-
cal, and chronological barriers to
the recovery of the continent.
1t is possible to draw parallels
between the present and the per-
iOd following World War l, when
we made large loans to Europe
which were repaid only in part.
But there is this enormous differ
ence-the sums involved then were
much smaller, and the United
States had a relatively insignifi-
cant tax and national debt problem
at home. On ton of that. there was
no struggle for power such as that
which is being carried on between
the United States and the Soviet
Union today. The present Euro
pean problem is complicated by
the most important military and
diplomatic considerations. While
we are helping the rest of the
world, self-preservation demands
that we prepare for any conceiv-
able future contingency-including
that of war.
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1947-07-25

"A four-year or five-year plan of
Y. 5. aid to Europe, to cost about
$25, OOO,000,000 is in trouble before
its starts" says the United States
News. President Truman's Cabi-
net is sharply divided on the plan.
Congress is inclined to be cold to-
ward it., Europe wants and badly
needs the dollars, but may not like
the conditions to be attached to
any new dollar grants"
The economies of the problem
are bleak to an extreme. This
country is the only important pro-
Queer of the goods Europe must
have for economic rehabilitation,
no less than for immediate susie
nance. Those goods must be paid
for with dollars. However, foreign
countries are earning only SO per
cent of the dollars they are spend
ing. The loans we have already
made are running out at an alarm
ing rate, and will be exhausted, in
most cases, in less than a year.
The export-import situation tells
the story in another way. Our ex-
ports abroad amount to around
$40 ,O00,O00,000 year. Our i'm
ports from abroad, on the other
hand, are less than $8,000,00O,000
year. That means, from the for
eign point of view, an annual de-
ficit of nearly $12,OOO,0OO,OO0 a
year. A number of countries, no.
tably Britain, are attempting to
step up their export production in
order to make their balance of
trade less unfavorable, and to
maintain their dollar credits as
long as possible. But these efforts
have not borne much fruit, and no
great improvement can logically
be expected in the near future.
Foreign countries have invest
ments in this country, in securities,
industrial properties, etc. How
ever, according to the U. S. News,
if all long-term foreign investments
of this nature were liquidated, Eu-
ropes pocketbOok would be fatten-
ed by only $S,O0O,00O, 0OO-enough
to balance the import-export scale
for a mere eight months. Further
more, these assets are unevenly
distributed. The great bulk of them
belong to England, and some of the
neediest countries have little or
nothing.
1t will be long time before any
one knows just how far the United
States will go in underwriting Eu-
ropean recovery. But it does seem
certain that the policy will not be
of blank-check character-and
