The Communists may not
realize it. but they have sue
ceeded by their tactics in max
ing the largest part of the free
world lose faith in any promises
they may make hereafter.
President Eisenhower, in his
April 16 speech, called for
deeds from Soviet Russia
rather than words. But the
deeds have not been forth
coming. Here and there a
few prisoners who should
never have been imprisoned
have been released by the
Communists in Iron Curtain
countries. Thus a few crumbs
have been thrown to the
Western powers. But all the
American prisoners captured
in Korea by the Communists
have not yet been released,
and a Communist spokesman
brazenly has stated that
America would have to barter
for the release Of the re-
mainder by making some i'm
portant diplomatic concessions.
It is on a background of
such blackmail and faithless-
ness that an official repre-
sentative of India now asks
the United States and Great
Britain and France to forget
the crimes of the past and to
believe that a group of
gangsters in Moscow have sud-
denly become virtuous. What
a gullible young government
India happens to have! What's
worse, that same government
has a much distorted concept
about American readiness to
surrender to Communist i'm
perialism on any or all fronts.

Just now the Soviet objec-

This is because the Soviets are

merely gives momentum to the

proposed in the U. N. by the
Western powers for the inter-

blocked every one of them. It
is difficult to see what dec

there is no desire to permit

Faces Inherent Problems Not Easily Surmounted
sily Surnounted

States Ambassador to Italy.
The Vatican, which observes
absolute correctness in it's for
eign relations, is behaving
with it's usual reserve. Mrs.
Luce has not seen the Pope
and does not expect to.
Mrs. Luce became famous
with her brittle comedy, "The
Women. She will always be
held to account in some quar-
tiers for the generally low view
of American women expressed
in the play, and that is known
here, too.
The charges against her as
ambassador include: Cd Play
ing favorites among the cor
respondents and a general
failure to establish good rela-
tions with them. 90. A dis
position to override her for
eign service staffers, who have
a detailed knowledge of the
problems here. (3). A pride of
opinion in a field new to her
which has caused her to make
some mlsStepS that could have
been avoided.
Perhaps her greatest haz-
ard is boredom. Mrs. Luce is
a prima donna and diplomacy
is not a days show but daily
grind. She did not enjoy the
House of Representatives with
its drudgery and slow ad-
vancement, and quit it after
two terms.
Meanwhile, she vies with
Michelangelo as a tourist at
traction in Rome.

Lowell MeHett-

The need to be all things to
all men is one of the dis
heartening discoveries that
men of high purpose some
times make when they accept
high political Office. Ezra Taft
Benson, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, seems to be having this
unhappy experience.
Within the space of three
days the Secretary made two
speeches. On the 10Th he ad-
dressed a great gathering of
farmers in Wisconsin. On the
22d he addressed the Ameri-
can Bankers Association in
Washington. In both speeches
he discussed the present Gov
ernment farm programs, tell
ing the farmers these pro-
grams don't go far enough"
and the bankers that they are
inadequate" But the short
comings of the programs as
presented to the farmers were
not exactly the same as the
shortcomings presented to the
bankers.
To the farmers he said:
"They don't go far enough
when it comes to assuring the
farmer an equitable share of
the national income"
To the bankers he said:
"They are inadequate because
they do not build markets to
put products into use at fair
prices"
To the farmers he said:
President Eisenhower and !
are determined to do all
within our power to protect
and improve the living STAN
dard of farm people in
Guiding whatever parity pro-
posals meet the test of ex-
haustive study of the farm
problem now under way"
To the bankers: TOO many
Americans are calling on
Washington to do for them
what they should be willing
to do for themselves. 1t is
high time we had this awak-
ening to the dangers of ex-
cessive governmental adven-
lures in business, too great
concentration of power, and
undue dependence on public
assistance. In our agricul-
tural policy we seek to coun-
teract this dangerous trend"

State and local governments
have also greatly expanded.
! would like to cite some figures
from my own Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, which are
about the same as other States.
In 1882, Pennsylvania col
Iected $138 million in taxes
and in 1852 this had increased
to $540 million. Local taxes in
Pennsylvania, including coun-
ty, city, school district, bor-
ough and township, were $343
million and in. 1852 had in
creased to $515 million.
In 90 years the State debt
has multiplied from $73 million
to $439 million net.
But local government in
Pennsylvania has been cast
ing its burden upon the State.
For example, in 20 years the
States share of the annual
cost of education has increased
from about $33 million to $3.50
million. The State has had to
assume almost the full burden
of welfare and public assist
ance, with the annual cost
multiplying from about $50
million to $126 million.
Another thing which should
alarm us is the individual and
corporate debt of our Nation
which is now almost $500 bill
lion.
In addition to the more than
$273 billion public debt, the
Government is the guarantor
for almost $3.50 billion more
in terms of social security,
bank deposits, mortgages, etc.

many times, and ] repeat it,

reliance.

siderable number of our peo-
pie commenced to lose faith in
themselves and to turn toward

For more than a quarter Of

eating a "pay-as-you-go" basis

Governments can go into

We can also go into debt for

Wars cannot be conducted

obviously. But, Immediately
after hostilities, expenditures
must be cut to the bone. There
are few so-called sacred" gov

cept, for example, interest on

For years I have contended
that government deficit f1nanc-
ing and the Capitalization Of

gers facing the American peo-
pie.
The increase of Government
during the last two decades is
most alarming. In 20 years
the Federal Government has
increased it's agencies from 400
to more than / 500. The yearly
expenditures have sky-rocketed
from 81 billion to $40 billion.
The number of Federal en-

than $273 billion is greater
than the combined debt, in

of SO countries, and is 1884
billion more than it was 20

1t is agreed here chat the
initial misjudgment was nam

Italy. This was, Washington
understands, Mrs. Luce's own
misjudgment about which
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles had misgiv-

they decided not to cross the

Mrs Luce was, of course,
entitled to an important as
signment in a Republican ad-
ministration in her own right,
having been a successful Re-
publican politician as well as
being a woman of achievement.
Italians, however, do not
accord women equal status
with men in such matters.
Also, past women diplomats
had been assigned to small
countries, so Italy felt her
prestige was impaired by the
naming of a woman. A Cath

not like it that previous

ROME. Sept. 29.-How is
Clare doing?
Americans in Rome report
that the first question asked
by the folks from home usually
is: How is our new AmbasSa-
dor getting along with her job?
Since Clare Boothe Luce, "a
controversial character, picked
an important and troubled
country for her first diplomatic
assignment. the answer could
hardly be unanimous.
Actually, any answer must
be provisional. Italy at present
cannot be taken by storm.
Mrs. Luce is working hard
at her job. She is doing some
things well and making some
mistakes, none of them ire
trievable.
Her husband, Time Maga-
zine Publisher Henry Luce, is
also tremendous asset to her
and not just because Of what
he is but because of what he
does for her. He is giving her
much of his time and paying
personal attention to her prob
lens. It is obvious that he
wants her to succeed and that
he realizes there is much more
to this than kind words in his
important publications.
The united front of the
Luces has greatly impressed
the American colony and has
had favorable effect upon the

all sure they wanted a woman

Soviet Russia and the United
States at which the chiefs of

to use atomic weapons or hy-
drogen bombs in war is the
best proof in itself as to why
the prevailing view in Wash
ington today is that the gov

tool of Communist propaganda.
For many months now the
Moscow propaganda machine
throughout the world has pro-
fessed to be interested in peace
and particularly in diSarma-
ment. Again and again the
United States and the other
Western powers have pleaded
with Moscow to show it's good
faith by some acts that would
manifest to the world a peace
full intent. And the world has
yet to see anything but treach-
cry and violation of pledges.

Panmunjom have so tragically

The American Government
has a list of pledges broken by
Soviet Russia that extend from
1945 to date. Despite these
evidences of diShonor and had
faith, the Moscow propaganda
has the effrontery to cry out
that it wants world peace.
Actually it makes no conces-
sions but constantly asks for
surrender by the Western pow
