the freedom leaflets. And there have been
recent indications when hydrogen tanks,
which are used to initiate the balloons, were
sabotaged in West Germany.
The encouraging thing about the bal
loon crusade is the fact that most of the
money for it comes from Freedom Doll
lars, contributed by Americans everywhere
through their local postmaster Thus the
Federal Government does not have to foot
the cost Of this program, and the taXpay-
er does not have to worry about whether
the program is too costly. or inefficient,
and SO on.

ONE Of the anti-CommuRst efforts which
- continues to needle the Communists,
and which is often forgotten, are the contn-
uing balloon releases of the Crusade for
Freedom. In about ten hours, on an ordn-
airy day, as many as l,l88000 leaflets can
be sent on their way behind the Iron Cur
tain. Current launching operations have
taken on mass production nature, and
gas tanks are used to initiate balloons in
wholesale numbers just this side OF the
Iron Curtain.
In one recent three-month period, more
than 1000 900 leaflets were sent over
Czechoslovaka. The question whether these
balloons. which drop leaflets encourag-
ing the people in Russian-dominated coun-
tries to resist totalitarianism, are effective,
was answered recently when several coun-
tries behind the Iron Curtain complained

A TTORNEY GENERAL Herbert Brown
ell, Jr, recently informed the White
House that present law forbids the sale
Of surplus agricultural products to Iron
Curtain countries Brownell's statement
came after there was speculation in the
press, and in the Executive Department,
over a proposal to send some Of these sur
pluses to Russia.
President Eisenhower himself had con-
sidered the proposal, although he had not
committed himself to it when BrownelPs
finding was given him. All indications are
that the Administration is not sufficiently
Interested in pressing the question to the
extent Of seeking Legislation TO authorize
such a gesture. In fact, the Administration
might not have ever formally undertaken
such gesture, even had not BroWnell

away stocks Of surplus foods and he has
done this on past occasions, even when the
gifts went to Soviet satellite countries. An
example Of this authority was seen recent
" when the President made surplus food
gifts to Hungary during the severe floods
IN that country.
But the question Of selling or borrow
ing surplus agricultural products is one
around which there are much tighter re-
strictions. Selling or borrowing surplus ag
ricultural products is limited to friendly
nations and therefore the President could
not make u. s. surplus foodstuffs available
to Russia. This settles the question as it
should have been settled, for we do not
believe there was much chance that II. s..
surplus foodstuffs-once made available to
Russia--Would have been appreciated by
the average Russian.

short time if they attempted to guarantee
an annual wage, and then, ran into de-
preston or severe recession.
There are probably two possible COM
promise courses open in the developing
battle for a guaranteed annual wage. One
is for business to set aside SO many cents
per man-hour worked for guaranteed wage
payments Unions could not draw on this
fund for the first year or TIVE if it were %
build up Nor would this amount Of money
be sufficient to pay aborers (who might
be laid off, salary equal TO their full
time working salary, in most instances.
The other possible compromise course
is for companies to agree to guarantee an
annual wage to employees who have been
working ten years or more with the COM
pany. This would amount to d guaranteed
wage for older employers, bot not for those
with less seniority.

Can't Guarantee Business

40 AUTOMOBILE WORKERS are ex-
- pected to insist on their demand for a
guaranteed wage, either with Ford or
General Motors, late this spring.
Labor union members are actually seek
ing security in demanding guaranteed
annual wage but the question must be
faced from both angles whether a guar
anteed annual wage is always possible in
our economic system. In a state-controlled
system, when the state decides what fac
tories would operate and when they would
operate, a guaranteed wage would be 4
relatively simple matter
Labor should remember, under state
system, they have no right TO change jobs,
quit work or enjoy the freedom they now
enjoy Some Of the big companies, like the
automobile companies, could easily be
plunged into bankruptcy in relatively
