Travel Broudens One

I have no desire to engage
in a polemic with David Law
renee over his recent article
about Indonesia, datelined The
Hague, capital of Holland.
However, I think it should be
pointed out. in all fairness,
that by presenting only the
Dutch viewpoint and indors-
ing 1t without qualification.
Mr.. Lawrence did not give his
American readers an objective,
balanced analysis.
think your readers are en-
titled to some basic facts about
Indonesia, the sixth largest
and third richest Gin natural
resources) nation in the world.
For $50 years the Netherlands,
a nation now having only 10
million people, ruled absolutely
over Indonesia, which now has
80 million people. The wage
rate of the average Indonesian,
under the Dutch rule, was ap-
proximately az cents per day.
Another Dutch legacy was
the highest death rate in the
world. Out Of every three
children born only one had
any hope Of living beyond 18
years Of age. Rickets and
tuberculosis were common
place under Dutch rule. Ninety
three per cent of our people
were unable to read or write.
And at no time in the colonial
period did an Indonesian have
the rights Of citizenship
such as the right to vote. Our
economy was extremely one
sided. being geared to the
production Of raw materials
for the benefit Of our colonial
exploiters.
What is the record since
Indonesia gained its inde-
pendence? The death rate has
dropped drastically due to bet
ter maternal and child care
and to disease preventive and
curative measures. Concern
ing education and literacy it
is with pride that I report that
half Of our citizens can now
read and write, and our edu-
cational system has been
greatly expanded.
The Indonesian government
is fostering the gradual indus
trialization Of our island group,
and many new factories have
been established. The purpose
of this program is to balance
our economy so that the coun-
try is not exclusively depend
ent upon the export of raw
materials and doesn't suffer
as much as it has in the past
when the prices of raw ma
terials fluctuated excessively
on the world market.
Production is increasing in
all areas today, and substantial
gains have been made in both
mineral and in agricultural
production. The figures in the
production of tin, petroleum,
bauxite. rubber. fish, rice and
other food crops all reflect in
creases over the colonial pc
riod.
1t is a pity that Mr.. Law
renee did not attend the re-
cent Asian-African Conference
in Bandung, Indonesia, where
10 other American correspond
ents observed Indonesia at
first-hand, besides covering
the conference. The fact that
their on-the-spot reports about
Indonesia are so much more
favorable than Mr.. Lawrence's
article, written in Holland 49,
600 miles from Indonesia. is
rather significant.

History and San Francisco

making-though there Will be great
deal Of that-during the elaborate week
long program opening today in San
Francisco to commemorate the 10th an
niversary Of the signing of the United
Nations Charter. For apart from the pro-
gram itself, apart from all the oratory
and special ceremonies, the representa-
tives of the go participating countries
will engage in various kinds of formal and
informal talk and activity that could
well have far-reaching effect on the
future history Of the world.
BY far the most important Of these
off f-the-program events, of course, will
be the discussions to be held by the Big
Four Foreign Ministers-Molotov of
Russia, Pinay of France, Macmillan of
Britain, and Dulles of the United States.
Their task will be to pave the way for
next months meeting at the summit"
in Geneva In a sense, that projected
meeting seems to circumvent the ma
chinery of the U. N, but virtually all
of the U. MS members are heartily in
favor of it, and that is why they are
hoping that there will be satisfactory
measure of cordiality and agreement in
the preparatory talks between Mr.. Molo-
tov and his Anglo-French- American
counterpartS.
But the chief meaning of this weeks
San Francisco gathering is not that the
Big Four Foreign Ministers will hold
talks of their own during it. Actually,
as Secretary-Ge General Dag Hammarskjold
%6o Iein ~
event is that 1t offers unique opportu-
mites for reafflrmation Of belief in the
value of the United Nations, for drawing
attention to its manifold activities and
for rededication to the purposes and
principles of the Charter"-whose pri-
mary objective is "to save succeeding
generations from the Scourge Of war"
Much the same thought has been ex-
pressed by President Eisenhower. AS he
has put it, the occasion represents "both
a responsibility and great opportunity
to present to the world the abiding faith
of our people that this international Or
ganization will be an increasingly more
potent force for peace"
Ten years ago, when the Charter was
signed in San Francisco on June 26, men
everywhere reposed their highest hopes
in it. But unhappily, in the ensuing
decade, those hopes have not been full
filled. AS a result, cynics and defeatists
abound today. What they overlook, how
ever, is that the world has failed to
achieve good peace not because of the
U. NJ, but in spite Of it. What they over
look, too, is the fact that this interna-
tional "town forum"-regardless of its
shortcomings-has placed very real legal
and moral restraints on war-breeding
forces in many areas that might other
wise have suffered catastrophe military
explosions.
So the so nations meeting now in
San Francisco have right to feel that
the U. N. can be progressively strength
ened-as Mr.. Eisenhower has suggested
into truly powerful organization. In
any event, there is no ground for de-
featism. On the contrary, in view of the
current thaw in the cold war, there is
reason to hope that the Soviets may at
last be getting ready to offer genuine CO.
operation-the lack of which to date has
been the sole basic cause of the failure
to achieve decent peace.

much of Ida's asking for the new

doing all the building, wiring and

fortified with the latest ideas, l
visited the Meekins and discussed
arrangement of equipment and

cooking, and serving were plan
ned, and ample storage provided
for these plus space for cleaning
equipment and all-weather acces-

Bait Slaughters Flies

MARYLAND Extension Service re-
ports that tests with sweetened mall
athion bait have proved that from $4,000
to 10000 flies can be destroyed in one
barn in less than an hour The Maryland
experts say that flies normally begin to
drop to the floor and die within 10
minutes after the bait is applied and
that from 80 to 80 per cent of the flies
in a barn will usually be dead within
to 2 hours A satisfactory liquid bait
for this purpose is made by mixing to-
gether l gallon of water, pound of
granulated sugar, and 1 ounce of so
per cent emuIsified malathion. Most
barns, the experts say, can be treated
effectively at cost of from 40 to 30
cents per application.

shrubs will soon become established
where the area is protected. The rate
of establishment can be increased and
a greater variety of species can be OBJ
tanned by planting. Planting stock of
marsh plants can be secured from wet
places in the local area. Trees and
shrubs are available from nurseries.
Fence Row Management
In many intensiveIy farmed areas
fence rows provide the only food and
cover for wiIdlife after the crops are
harvested. Fence rows also provide
travel lanes for game birds, thus max
ing the entire farm a better wild1ife
habitat. They provide nesting sites for
song and insectivorous birds and har-
Dor desirable insects which are valu-
able in poHinating flowers.
Shrubs and vines can be planted to
provide additional food and shelter.
Leaving a swath of grain or few rows
of corn near the fence will increase the
available food The fence rows should
not be burned or moved The old grass
and vegetation are necessary to pro-
vide cover for birds during the winter
and nesting sites next spring.
Prevention of Burning
The burning of fence rows, stream
banks, bitches, roadsides, odd corners
and crop residue destroys a large
amount of food and cover needed by
wildIife during the critical winter
months Spring burning destroys nests
and adult birds Prevention of burning
and the destruction of this natural food
and cover will increase the carrying
capacity of the farm for many desirable
species of wildlife. It will also add
humus to the soil, conserve moisture
and prevent erosion.
Assistance in developing or improv-
ing the wiIdIife habitat on the farm or
ranch can be secured from, your local
Soil Conservation District office.
