To ]. ]. r., Washington: I
read your note in the Readers
Clearing House, and I am sure
I can give you information on
your forthcoming trip to
Vienna, Austria.
! am Viennese and know the
living conditions there quite
well. You will find Vienna an
extremely beautiful and inter-
esting city, the people polite
and helpful. Almost every
body speaks English and you
should not have much diff
Guilty getting acquainted. The
Viepnese have always enjoyed
their fame being the most per-
feet hosts. The weather dur
ing the summer in Vienna is
pleasant, an average Of about
IS with cool nights and no
humidity. I would suggest you
bring your own summer cloth
ing with you. (If you are a
man it is not necessary to
bring cotton suits unless you
want to get astonished stares.
For a woman, cottons, rayons
and silks will be flne.) Be
sure to take sweaters, at least
one suit and a coat - rainy
days can be very cold. All
textiles are extremely expen-
sive, even with American
money (you get approximate
ly Is shillings for one dollar).
Black is not worn by women
during the day, but almost al
ways at night.
During the summer you will
find the city deserted, the peo-
pie will be coming back in Sep
tember. Try to take a trip to
the western provinces. to the
lake country, "the Salzkam-
mergut" and to the town of
Salzburg. It's lovely. Food in
Vienna Is good and inexpen-
sive. A good meal in a fine
restaurant for l person will
run you about so cents. Shoes
are very expensive. from 270
shillings up (about $12.
Leather goods and woolens are
less and Vienna is famous for
both.
Winters are long and cold,
so bring warm clothing, snow
boots and if possible. a fur
coat. Although it gets quite
cold the apartments are well
heated. quite unlike England.
January, February and March
are the least attractive
months. Try to get some re-

resorts in the Alps. AS for COL
lege facilities you will find that
the University of Vienna well
comes foreign students and
has special Introductory
courses as well as regular

BabsOn Park, Mass, Nov. 10. We
lave approached the stage where
we must consume our reserves OF
natural resources with more eau
lion and wisdom. Unfortunately,
100 many of US have looked upon
these vast resources as nature s
gifts, to be used as desired. Our
minerals and forests have therefore
been used too freely, although we
nave achieved one of the highest
standards of living.
Through our skillful utilization
of coal, iron, aluminium, copper,
md other raw materials, our work
has been made easier. We have
more leisure, so that we may fol-
low cultural pursuits. However,
this leisure, to be meaningful,
should include pursuits which add
TO our spiritual values and not just
those which further our pleasures
Or promote more technical achieve

FOR SOL FERTILITY

The senate agriculture committee encoun-
tered almost as many opinions as it did farm
mers during it's first few days OF grass
roots" hearings. The arguments for high,
rigid supports and flexible supports and a
variety of other cures for agriculture's all
ments were trOtted out in their finest array.
Those early days of the hearings were
especially important because they gave the
senators a chance to hear farmers and farm
GROUP officials in the heart Of the Middle
West. 1t is there that farmers have expert
enced the greatest income decline, largely pc
cause of the drop in livestock prices.
One of the most striking things about THIS
early testimony is the fact that variations on
one theme, the idea of a fertility bank or
something of the sort, were made by men
who disagreed on almost everything else.
Numerous proposals have already Deen
made for some program whereby the federal
government would divert acreage from food
and fiber crops to soil-building and soll-con-
serving crops. Most Of these plans involve
rentals of farmers land by the government.
If some such program could be worked
out. with adequate safeguards against merely
diverting land to other cash crops, It might Dt

Secretary of Agriculture Benson said recent
II that further study is being given to th'

of special relief bills. But, in the
interests Of conserving the time
and energy of what will be a
very busy Congress, a general, fiat
repeal Of P. L. 1873 seems more
practical.
Inspired Side-Trip
High point of the current Gene
va session of the Big Four foreign
ministers will probably turn out
to be Secretary Dulles jaunt to
Madrid. His sudden decision to
take advantage of the All-Saints
Day recess of the Conference by
visiting GeneralissimO Franco re-
portedly threw the Spanish capital
into a spin-albeit a reportedly
Joyous one-since holiday plans
of high fllnctionaries had to be
hastily revised. But the trip prob
ably threw Moscow into even more
of a tizzy, and less pleasurably,
since Spain is the most obtrusive-
" anti-communist nation in Wes-
tern Europe. A compliment 20
Franco is a thumb-ti-the-nOse for
EAIolotOv, Khruscev and Co.
Returning to Geneva, Mr.. Dulles
blasted the MolotOv proposal on
German unity as most note
worthy in its complete failure" to
observe the basic requirements
laid down by the Summit" con-
ference in July. In ridiculing Mr.
Molotov's avoidance of free cleo
tions. the Secretary of. State ad.
mitted there was risk in such cleo
tions, and that when there was
only one list of candidates-he helC

It appears at this writing tina
the one thing the conference ma!
agree on is to talk some more abOu

members are repeatedly working
on some sort of joint declaration

Before we gloat too much owe

it should be realized that thi

land will yield more efficient crops.
We have also realized that we
must search for new and addi-
tiolla1 reserves Of natural resources,
not only here, but also all over the
world. More countries will be able
to develop their own industries and
agriculture, so that more people
NAV benefit therefrOm. Each cOun-
try will produce those items which
it is able to turn out most efficient
lv. Then, these products will be
exchanged so that all industries
may be used to the best advantage
of everyone, everywhere.
The Ultimate Goal
The ultimate goal of the wise use
of natural resources is to raise
the standard-of- living, and it is
imDortant to keep this goal in
mind. Moreover, it is just as i'm
portant to emphasize the building
ub of spiritual resources as OF
Dhvsical resources. Our nations
true power is in its spiritual
strength.
Therefore, in our attempt to
conserve natural resources in or
der to attain material well-being
We must emphasize the dignity Of
the individual. This country has
become the richest nation in the
world. We have proved our leader
shin in industry. We must nov
show our leadership BY building
M our spiritual and other human
1 resources
