positions in each agency; their

CASH CANNOT UPLTFT THEM ALL

What is the obligation of the Govern
ment of the United States to the unde-
veloped areas of Africa, Indonesia, Indo-
China, and other places. where colored
races exist in abject ignorance and are so
often exploited and possibly mistreated?
This is an interesting question that
comes to mind with the efforts of So
called leaders of the down-trodden races
to secure outright gifts for the economic
development of these vast areas. If
successful in this pursuit, the time will
come when the demand will be made for
funds to educate, house and feed these
teeming millions on the same basis that
more fortunate races enjoy.
Just why there are certain areas in
the world almost entirely undeveloped
and certain races of people ignorant and
semi-civilized is something Of puzzle
If we presume that every individual and
all races were created equal the wonder
still is that there is now such wide dis
parity in their status and fortunes.
While every intelligent person would
like to see backward races develop and
their economic resources utilized for their
benefit, it would be mistake to as
sumo that the so-called civilized races
can accomplish this task by the expendi-
ture of money.
If the United States devoted one hun
dred billion dollars to the uplift of the
teeming masses of Africa, Asia and In
donesia, the process would come to an
end as soon as the money was completely
exhausted. The net result would be the
improvement of the United States and
little advancement fer the backward pe0-
Piles.

TO FIGHT REDS WITH WHAT

The Philippines. South Korea and the
Chinese Nationalist Government, head
ed by Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek,
have established For Eastern anti Com
munlst Pact.
Announcement was made that invita-
ton will be sent to other Far Eastern
countries TO join in the pact and, pre-
rumably. the United States will be invited
lo participate.
Il is perfectly obvious that the three
nations which have joined together to
fltht Communism are utterly unable to
stop the Red armies operating inside
China The Nationalist Government of
hang kai-Shek is tOttering, and grave
threats face South Korean establishment.
Even the Philippines have dissident groups
which are sometimes associated with the
Communist movement.
The anti-Communist pact is certain to
revive the movement in this country to
extend assistance to China. At present,
the Communist armies have been delay
ed by the worst floods in fifty years in
China hut. when conditions improve. they
are expected to advance into other areas
of China
There is some talk that General Chi
ang will establish his headquarters on Tai
wan formerly Formosa, and that the is
land may serve as the stronghold of anti
Communist forces in the Far East. APP
parently. the Chinese expect the Com
munists TO promote anti-American ac-
tivity, which might influence American
Action.

THE INFLExIBLE LAW

Though the Florida Keys, with Key
West as distributing center, produced
crops valued at tens OF thousands annually,
yet that old saying persisted that farming
is the most precarious way of earning a
livelihood.
Farmers have to take their. chances
with droughts, excessive rainfall and
heavy winds. One season. in the Floridai
Keys, farmers cleaned up, and them
probably they would go two or more,
seasons before hitting the Jackpot again.
But farmers in the United States haves
been riding high and haadsomeY. SINCE
the government has been substituting them.i
Recently, congressman felt the governs
ment was going little too far in proposing
the Branning farm-price bill, and proceed
ed to kill it.
The subsidies have been keeping up
the prices of foodstuffs. despite wide
spread complaints throughout the country
While The Citizen wishes farmers, as we'll
as men in all walks of life, to earn living
and save part of their profits, yet it thinks
that the late President Roosevelt coddled
and President Truman has been coddling
farmers too much.
Officials of Wilmington meat pro-
cessing plant APPARENTLY entertain a similar
view. An Associated Press dispatch on
Sunday quoted the president of the COM
pany as asserting he will keep his plant
closed until farmers start asking reason
able prices for livestock. We can't keep
fattening up the farmers" he told the 800
men who worked for his company.
Neither subsidies nor any other arti-
fetal means will beat back the recession
that is spreading in the United States. The
best guide to keep business on an even
keel is the inflexible law of supply and
demand.
