these people, there have been
built friendships based upon
mutual respect, mutual liking,
and mutual need. Such friend
ships are many.
And now this great port must
meet the challenge of the COM
ing decades. 1t offers foreign
shippers some 40 miles of river
front. It is enhanced by a
foreign trade zone. It's modern
facilities are daily being en-
larged and improved. It is
manned by workers celebrated

year celebrating, but of the
Nation it has served for the
past one hundred fifty years.

sire for improvement, her mag

changing times and conditions.
1t has been thus-in New

tinue so, throughout all the

Young Says Benson
Should Quit Cabinet;
Sees Confidence LOST
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator Young, Republican,
North Dakota said yesterday that
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
ought to quit the cabinet be-
cause che has lost the conf
dence of the farmers"
Senator Young, one of the au-
thors of the present parity price
support law, previously had been
critical of Mr.. Benson for fail
ing to give a full measure Of
backing to crop-price props. But
recently the North Dakota Sena-
tor said he believed the Secre-
tary was gaining ground with
the farmers.
Sees Farmers Disseminated.
However, Senator Young said
he interpretS the election Of a
Democrat in WisconSin's tradi-
tionally Republican 9Th congress
sional district as a symbol of
widespread farmer discomfort.
Any serious detection among
: the farmers would be certain
to threaten Republican control
of Congress in next years elec-
tions, and both parties have
been watching agricultural de-
svelopments closely.
& IT doubt very much that Sec
retary Benson can regain the
confidence the farmers have lost
in him because of their uncer-
tainty over his policies" Sena-
tor Young said. "It isn't that
they have any lack of respect for
the Secretary or challenge his
integrity-it's just difference
of views"
President Eisenhower, who
took Mr.. Benson along on his
current farm State tour, has
given no indication of dissatis-
faction with the Secretary.
Disappointed in Speech.
Senator Young, who heads the
Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee on agriculture. said he
was disappointed in Gen. Eisen-
hower's farm speech in Kansas
City Thursday.
In that speech the President
said the administration is study
ing the farm problem thoroughly
and will come up with a sound,
comprehensive program before
Congress meets again. He said
the principle of price supports
would be continued but gave no
details.
"The speech was too indef1-
mite" Senator Young said.
Things are getting to the point
where the farmers want some
definite commitments. Some of
them, particularly World War II
veterans. are in desperate flnan-
-cial difficulties.
However, another Republican,
SSenator Malone, of Nevada, said
: he thinks the extent of dissatiS-
faction among the farmers Is
being over estimated.
{. Wherever I go, the chief
complaint I hear is that the
Republicans were elected to clean
@up the Democratic mess and we
: aren't doing it fast enough"

America. For here we see

We all know that New Or

American port. AS you well

this port that sharpened our
Nations anxiety to buy from
France the area around this
city-to insure our frontiers
men this essential gateway to
the open sea.
The passage of a century,
and-a-han has decisively un-
derscored the need of that day.
For today our whole economy
turns and depends upon the
commerce of the world through
such ports as this.
Through such ports on this
gulf, two oceans and the Great
Lakes, come almost all the
tungsten used in our tool steel
almost all of the nickel and
practically all of the chromite

shocked. He is considered rude.
Even his department is not ad-
mired, because of unfortunate
incidents on the part of indi-
viduals.
These friendships of which
I speak, my friends, are so
vital to us, that no American,
no matter how exalted or how
lowly may be his station, can
afford to ignore them.
Each of us. whether bearing
a commission from his govern
ment, or travelling by himself
for pleasure or for business, is g
representative of the United
States of America, and he must
try to portray America as he be-
lieves it in his heart to be: a
peace-loving nation, living in the
fear of God, but in the fear OF
God only, and trying to be part
ners with our friendS-and we
accept for a friend anyone who
genuinely holds out the hands
of friendship to us-as we do to
them.

We roast and blend this coffee

We've been doing it the same way

friends abroad, just as they
need us.
Consider some of our agri-
cultural products which de-
mand foreign markets.
In the crop year 1951-52:
Of all the barley produced
in this country, more than
IL per cent was sold outside
our borders.
Almost so per cent of all
our wheat was paid for in
foreign markets.
Almost so per cent Of our
entire rice crop was bought
by other nations.
With non-agricultural prod
ucts, the facts are much the
same. Half a million of our
refrigeratorS and home-type
freezers, more than $50 million
worth of our sulphur, more
than $3.50 million worth of our
machine tools and our agri-
cultural machinery, more than
a quarter of all the lubricating
oil and almost half of all our
copper sulphate - all these
were paid for in foreign coun-
tries.
These facts and figures af-
feet almost every American
citizen: all who work on our
farms, all who labor in our in
dustries. They can signify -
for our whole economy - the
difference between productive
profit and paralyzing loss.
This is a partial measure
of the material meaning Of
foreign trade to America.
This is the measure of our
Nations dependence on her
great ports.

BY the Assoeiotsd Prsss

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. IT,
FOLLOWING Is the teTt OF PreSi-
dent EiSenhotDer's address at
the Louisiana SeSquicentenniGl
celebration yesterday:
My fellow Americans:
We are today observing the
anniversary of an event which
ranks with the most important
in our history.
The Louisiana purchase ef-
fectively doubled the area of
our young nation, brought this
country unimagined wealth.
and gave us strength and in
ternational influence beyond
the dreams of our Nations
founders just 35 years earlier.
We are observing the ami
versary of an act which
though born of other nations
conflictS-involved the death
of not a single American SOL
dier. It was, for the United
States, an act Of peace.
It was also an act Of vision
and daring.
1t was daring for a new
born nation-lacking all mod
ern communications making
for unity-to venture into a
huge, unexplored area of un-
known natural hazards and
little-known inhabitants. It
was daring for such a Nation
to accept so heavy a debt as
this unique purchase imposed
upon it.
It was daring for our two
negotiators in Paris-Monroe
and Livingston-to decide to
accept Napoleon's surprising
offer without fear of repudia-
ton by their national leaders
separated from them by the
breath of an ocean.
It was daring for our PreSi-
dent - Thomas Jefferson - to
support their decision instant
ly and to face squarely the op-
position, not only of foreign
powers, but of political critics
of great passion and small
vision.

strengthening them not only to
fortify their own economies
not only to be independent of
direct financial aid from
wealthier nations-but also to
buy from us what we must sell
to the world.
BY making it possible for
our friends to sell their prod
ucts to us, we thus at once
help them to be strong and
enable them to earn the dol
lars by which they can. in
turn, help our economy to be
healthy and progressive.

Calls Daring Justified
In Rare Measure

That daring - SO typically
American-haS been justified
in rare measure. It has been
justified to an extent which
staggerS the mind; to an ex-
tent which, automatically, is
almost incalculable.
What once was the LouiSi-
ana Territory, today embraces
six of our 48 States and
large parts of seven others. It
measures 900 thousand square
miles. It is bordered by q
river almost unmatched in
length and unsurpassed in
majesty.
The bounty Of this area has
been more phenomenal than
its size. It's total cost was
only some $23 million-the
cost today of a single Navy
cargo ship.
For this outlay, what did
America gain?
Let me give you one inter-
esting example:
One single State-of the 13
involved in the purchase-re-
Gently reported the value Of
one single product yielded by
the land of that State in one
single year.
The State was Iowa. The
product was corn. The value
was over $700 million. And
this sum Is 80 times as much
as was paid for the entire
Louisiana territory.

we'll nigh on to So years.

And, for close to So years, folks
from all over have been telling us
that there just isn't better roasted,
better blended, better tasting
coffee anywhere in the whole
wide world.
Maybe that's why it outsells all
other coffee brands in the Wash
ington market. Maybe that's why
you ought to go out and try a
pound.
