Japan has a population of 85
million in an area no larger than
California, and Japan cannot live
and cannot remain in the free
world if the United States cuts
Japan off from both the oppor-
tunities for trade and American
aid.
"If we will not give her money,
if we will not trade with her, if
we do not defend Southeast Asia
where Japan has some markets,
what is to happen to Japan, the
President asked.
Its going to the Reds!", Els
enhower stated, and it is readily
evident that this is true.
Japan's fall to Communism
would mean that her military
and industrial capacity would, as
the President said, "be turned
against the free world and the
Pacific would become a Commun-
ist lake..
President Eisenhower agreed
that this country cannot carry
the financial burdens of the
world, that we can never be
strong enough to defend every
trouble spot in the world, that
we should drop our trade bar
riers completely to foreign goods
that would flood our markets. and
reduce our economy to a sub
siStence level.
While there are some truths
in each of these restrictive argu.
ments, the President said, Truth
comprises more than knowledge;
there must also be some under
standing"
The Presidents argument was
compelling and I am proud that
1 am working and cooperating
with him. Extension of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act
will assist in meeting the objec-
tives of our foreign policies, and
while Eisenhower favors "trade
not aid' he is convinced that to
reduce foreign assistance below
his reduction of 40 per cent un.
der present conditions would be
"unjustified and unsafe"
Communism is on the march
throughout the world, particular
ly at this time in Southeast Asia.
We cannot defeat Communism
by defending the status quo, the
United States must be moving
forward and we must remember
Truth comprises more than
knowledge-there must be under.

To The Editor,

To The Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel:
On behalf of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis l
wish to thank you for the stories
run in the Sentinel on the avail
ability in Montgomery County of
gamma globulin for use against
polio and for the modification and
prevention of infectious hepatitis
and measles.
The National Foundation tor
Infantile Paralysis used March of
Dimes funds for the purchase of
Gamma globulin which was then
placed under the control of the
Office of Defense Mobilization
for distribution to State Health
Offices. 1t is not to be confused
with the new Salk Vaccine, tor
which so much hope is felt as a
sure preventive of paralytic polio
and which has been the subject
of extensive field trial tests
throughout the country. Gamma
globulin merely introduces polio
anti-bodies into the human sys-
tenn and is effective, it is said,
only as long as they are not elm
mated, a process which is COM
pleted in about six to eight weeks,
while the Salk Vaccine, not now
available to the public, is being
tested to determine its effective
ness over long period of time
since it is alleged to stimulate
the body into producing its own
anti-bodies against polio.
These are only two of the serv-
ices rendered by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis which benefit the communities
from which March of Dimes
funds are derived. Other services
rendered directly through the To-
cal Chapter include patient care
program which provides medical
services and the necessary braces,
corsets and such as they are re-
quired. There are no salaries paid
to any member of the local Chap
ter and Mr.. Charles Davidson,
Chairman of the Montgomery
County Chapter deserves praise
for the manner in which he has
made these services available
when needed.
With thanks again to the
Sentinel,
Lillian H. McNiSh,
Polio Vaccine Chairman for
the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis in
Montgomery County.

Senate

Sen. J. Glenn BeaIl

President Eisenhower made
some very significant remarks
last week while the Senate was
considering extension of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act
and the House studied the $3.5
billion foreign aid bill.
AS guest of my good friend
Max Chambers, who publishes a
newspaper on the Eastern Shore,
/ attended a meeting of the Ma
tional Editorial Association and
heard the President put in prop.
er perspective the problem of our
trade relations with foreign ma
tionS.
President Eisenhower proved
effectively, one newspaper COM
mented, that 2 and 2 sometimes
add up to %, and ironically the
Presidents statements came at
the very time the opposition
party began its underwriting and
sniping at his trade program.
The President took four main
arguments which are used most
extensively, and, he said, there
is some truth in each of them.
They were, he said:
!. That we should stop give
away programs.
2. That the United States
should give no help to other ma
tions who trade with the Reds.
3. Appeals that this country
not get involved in war in South
east Asia.
A. The argument that this
country should increase its bar
riers against foreign trade COM
petition.
In each of these four argu-
ments, the President said, there
is an element of truth, and each
considered by itself appears to
be in the general interest of the
United States.
However, when you apply them
together to a problem like Jap
an, he explained, you run into
an even tougher problem as to
what must be done to serve the
best interest of the United States
and its 100 million people.
