Roldfaeed instruction

Apparently, many men in pub
lie life and many editors of our
daily papers do not understand
this program, for the Daily Work
er can quote them in support
of this first item of the current
Communist line.
Indeed, the Red organ chldes
the trade unions in an April 10
leading editorial for not having
come forward favoring the sur
render Of Quemoy, Matsu and
Formosa as have so many pub
licistS and men in public life.
Five days later, the Daily Work
er gets the ball really rolling
with this boldfaced instruction
to its readers: AS protests,
against military Intervention in
Quemoy and Matsu grow through
out the country, we urgently
need the help of our readers in
covering this great story, Please
send us clippings from your To-
cal newspapers of letters 10 the
editor and editorials"
As usual, il is the United
States which is accused of mil
itary Intervention"
Negotiations The Goal
The same tactic is to be used
now as was employed so effee-
lively in "the battle against Nc
CarthyiSm that is, the conceal
ed Communists will induce un-
wary persons TO write letters,
favorable to American surrender
in the Far East; then the Daily
Worker will print these letters,
thus stimulating still others to
deluge the newspapers and
Washington with this demand. I"
For weeks during 1852 and 1853
the Daily Worker ran a special
section every day, Americans
Versus MeCarthyism, containing
such letters and editorials from
local newspapers.
BY April II. the daily organ
of the Red conspiracy can glee-
fully proclaim in great headlines:

position to Marxism-no doubt
about that Nevertheless his own
alternative to the Marxist pro-

the practical point of view, but
completely unacceptable from the

at least a few individuals or
corporations.
This would almost seem to indi-
cate that many influential Amer
leans have become so obsesSed
by the evil of communism that
they are no longer able to recog-
nize anti-communist materialism
when they see il. In this respect
they are no better than the fuz-
zy-minded ultra-liberals of the
thirties and the early forties
who were so obsessed by Naziism
and FaScism that they were un-
able or unwilling to recognize the
evils of communism until it was
almost too late.
Laissex-Faire, Plus Birth Control
Mr.. Eastmans alternative TO
communism and socialism is a
combination of birth control and
laissez-faire economics. He thinks
that there are too many people
in the world, and he feels very
strongly that something ought to
be done about it. More goods and

slogan | should like to see car.

the inpersonai mechanism of
the market The other Is

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON - A story
about the Bandung Conference
that seems not to have been re-
ported in any other medium has
made its way back here in cor
respondence.
A letter received here reveals
that the topflight participants
in the Bandung meeting invoked
the Deity so consistently that it
irked Chou En- Lai, the commun.
ist Chinese leader. The letter
quotes a really top leader Of the
conference as saying that all rep
resentatives invoked the Deity
but that seems to be slight
exaggeration, because Chou En-
Lai seems TO have been an ex-
ception. The reporter says this
reverence annoyed the boss Of
the Red regime in Peking Chou
En- Lai, he said, asked for toler-
anee of atheism.
The letter reveals, TOO. that
nothing was brought up at the
conference relating to the re-
lease of Americans held in cap
tivity by the Red Chinese govern
ment.

A. It is not always sinful to be

alternative.
Moral Inconsistency
| would hate to think that Mr.
Eastman's two-fold formula Of
universal birth control and
laisSex-faire economics is the
best that the United States has
to offer to a world on tire brink
of disaster. If it is, we might just

of America and our other infor-
nation agencies and stoically pre-
pare for [he deluge.
Reverse OF Formula
The Christian tradition is ex-
actly the reverse of Mr. East
mans formula.
On the one hand, Christian so
cial teaching completely rejects
the notion that economic life can
or should be regulated exclusive
ly by the impersonai, automatic
operation of the law of supply
and demand. And, while it also
rejects the alternative of social
ism, Christian social teaching ex-
plicitly says that the various
groups engaged in economic life
have not only the right but the
duty, in cooperation with one an
other and with the government,
to regulate the market conscious
ly and deliberately in the inter-
est of the common good.
On the other hand, the Chris
tian tradition condemns as sinful
any artificial restriction or con-
troll of population by means Of
eontraception. Eurth rm ore,
while the control of population
by abstinence or periodic contin-
ence is legitimate under certain
conditions, it is not permitted
much less encouraged-merely
as a means of progressively and
indefinitely raising the standard
of living of an arbitrary maxi
mum o. human beings.
Decrease Whose PopuIssion7
To give the devil his due, even
the communists, with all their
diabolical contempt for human
life and human values, have not
yet officially advocated anything
quite that selfish with respect to
the problem of population. They
may eventually do so, of course,
If it suits their evil purposes.
Meanwhile, whatever their mo-
tives, their official policy in this
one respect is better than Mr.
Eastman's and, incidentally. Is
likely to have greater appeal to
the suffering masses of The
world. For the people of Asia
and Africa and other under-de-
veloped areas are smart enough
to know, or at least to suspect,
that 1shen Americans begin 10
talk about decreasing the popula-
ton of the world, what they prob
ably mean is decreasing the pop
ulation of Asia and Africa and
other under-developed areas out.

So but il is to their interest and quite in order

Farm Bureau
Heads Favor
Motor Check

Compulsory motor vehicle in
spection by the State at five
points in the County was en-
dorsed by the Montgomery Coun-
ty Farm Bureaus Board of Di-
rectors at a recent meeting.
In taking this action, the Di-
rectors expressed the hope that
the acquisition of land for the in
spection stations and the cost of
equipping them could be carried
through with minimum ex-
penSe.
AS an aid to the economical
operation of the inspection sta
tons, the Directors suggested
that the same crew of State Auto
Vehicle inspectors could man all
five by working on a staggered
schedule.
The Directors also read letters
from U. S. Senator Beall of Mary
land and Congressman Dewitt S.
Hyde relative to the belief of the
Farm Bureau that Selective Serv-
ice should call young men con-
templating a farming career into
the service before they reach age
%. 1t is the position of the Bur
eau that induction at a later age
interferes with young farmers
seeking to build their futures and
thus constitutes a hardship.
July 80 was also selected at
the tentative date for the Bur
eau's annual picnic.
Present at the meeting were

Spring 1924

Spring can not be far away
for a great many of our travel
ers have returned to our Mary
land countryside. Yes, home from
such places as Florida, Bahamas,
Virgin Islands and far off Africa,
bringing with them heavy coats
of tan.
And what an exciting trip the
7. Yellott Canby's had on their
homeward vayage from Africa.
A storm was encountered in mid
ocean, which tossed them around
for two days and nights. The
waves were 30 feet high, enough
to make the Constitution day
late in docking.
However, Louise and YeIlott
had a wonderful visit with their
daughter and son-in-law, whose
ten months old son kept them
delightfully."- entertained. After
travelling over hot Africa deserts
and coming thru a real storm
at sea, Montgomery County with
its rolling countryside, and quiet
peaceful farms looked mighty
fine to the travellers, who like
most of us, enjoyed never-to-
be-forgotten trip but are happy
to be home again.
Miss Dorothy Wetherald re-
turned Friday from her trip to
the Virgin Islands.
Also returned from Florida va
cations are Mrs. Thomas A. Lad
son ST., and Mrs. Frank Palmer
of Olney.
Mrs. Samuel Nicholson, the
former Janice Palmer is visiting
her mother and will remain thru
February.
Sunday, Feb. Goth Mrs. Palmer
and Mrs. Nicholson entertained at
a lovely tea in honor of Miss
Barbara Tylden, from London,
England. Miss Tylden is associa-
ted with the National Federation
of Young Farmers of England,
and is in this country with a
group of English young people.
The party also served as a grand
get-together for the Maryland
Dairy Cattle judging team who
won the International competi-
ton in 1851. Our own Janice
Palmer and barbara Riggs were
the Montgomery County mem
bers of the team. Mrs. Palmer
and Mr.. Rosco Whip accompan-
led the team to England and
were made most welcome by
Miss Tylden all during their stay.
