Just where, we wonder, does
states rights end and federal
aid begin, or maybe we should
ask, where does fededal aid
end and states rights begin.
1t is a puzzling question and
one that we have been worry
ing owe for some time now.
The present revolt underway
in our state against the ma
tional Democratic party is,
ostensibly, based on our desire
to protect states rights. On the
basis of states rights we reject
the civil rights program of
President Truman, maintain
ing that the enforcement or de-
NAL of them belong in the
province of states government,
and is none of the federal gov
ernment's business. We wear
states rights buttons (Which
sell at a buck apiece). and seri-
ouslv support a movement to
bolt the Democratic party over
the issue. And an interim leg
islative committee a few months
ago. appointed to make a study
of aid to education, rejected
the proposal of such aid on the
ground that it would addition
ally encroach on states rights,
and further the movement tow
ard a centralized and dictator
ial federal government.
Then we pick up a newspaper
this morning and see where
Senator John Stennis of Mis-
sissippi has made an eloquent
plea before a senate appropria-
tions subcommittee for an adj
ditional $2,000,0 900 federal APP
Preparation for the benefit of
the All Club program and an
additional $4,000, 900 federal
appropriation for soil conser-
walton during the next year,
Seems to us, too, that there
was a good bit of back slap
ping and self-congratulation
going on in our sister county
of Harrison a few months back
when the federal government
agreed to allot a million bucks
or so for the building of a sand
beach running virtually the full
length of the county as a sea-
wall protection measure. This
federal allotment came after
a long and intensive fight,
which saw several of Harrison
county's leading states right
r in the vanguard. If we re-
member correctly one of these
states Fighters was quoted as
saving the federal appropria4
ton would make the Harrison
county beach the playground
of America
All this sounds fine, but seems
to strike, to put t. mildly, a
slightly contradictory n OFT G
somewhere in the scale. How
can we on one hand label fed
eral aid to education encroach-
ment by. the federal goverp-e
ment on states rights. and on
the other ask for fatter APP
preparations for All Club work,
building of sand beaches, parity
payments and cotton support
for the Delta. and a hundred
other more or less similar ap-
preparations all to be paid out
of the federal treasury? We
don't e any Delta folks re-
fuSing to accept federal funds
for flood control work. or tell
ing the federal government that
parity payments out of the
federal treasury is an invasion
of states rights. Seems to US
there is only one answer:
either quit holding our hands
behind our backs for federal .
grants, or quit h%ollering states
rights.

Pointing out to the world that
the United States and Canada have
lived as peaceful neighbors for more
than $50 years, President Truman
and Prime Minister King have joint
ly declared that the unfortified
boundary between the two countries
serves as an outstanding example of
international good will.
The two chief executives, in let
tiers to DR.. Charles w. Armstrong,
president of Kiwanis International,
lauded the friendship of their coun
tries as Kiwanis clubs in nearly
5000 communities prepared to OBJ
serve United States-C Canada Good

President Truman said that
Americans and Canadians are
proud, not of the fact that they
have never had a difference, but
that their friendship has survived
differences and has remained
strong" He expressed the opinion
that observances such as United
States Canada Good Will week have
greater significance today than ever
before"
Citing the "long-standing and in

Canada and the United States"
Prime Minister King declared sit is
an example of international good
will which, in these days, should
offer the highest possible inspira-
ton to all nations of the world
which seek peace by negotiation and
conciliation."
DR.. Armstrong said that Kiwan-
