ducts into competition again, but what is
to become Of Japan? We have certain
responsibility in Japan. which we can not
shrug off. Following World War II. the
United States ruled Japan and changed her
government from a monarchy to form of
democracy. In the intervening years the
nation has modcrnized its industry What
is to be done with this increased production
and how will 49, million people live in an
area slightly smaller than the state of
Montana unless they have markets for their
industrial production. The japanese must
trade on the world market to become self
supporting. Textiles account for half Of
Japans merchantable production
The problem is not simple one for the
United States which has a moral obligation
as Japan's former conqueror and presently
important ally. Japan must find its
markets, if not in the free world, then in
the Communist world. At the same time
American manufacturers of textiles for
domestic consumption must be protected.
Resort to tariff adjustment appears neces
sary.

The country owes a debt of gratitude
to all veterans-particularly those who
r1sked their lives in actual front-lne COM
bat But it should be remembered that
veterans belong in other categories, too.
Most OF them are taxpayers, wage earners,
husbands and fathers. They will benefit
most, in the long run, by legislation which
keeps our country economically solvent our
defenses strong and our people free.
"As husbands and fathers. many of them
do not want to see new debts imposed on
their children. AS wage earners, they do
not want new taxes to reduce their take
home pay.
With our country already deeply in
debt, passage of this s148 billion long

economic solvency. With our armed forces

diverting of huge sum to bonuses would
be a blow at our defenses And with our

We believe that most veterans served
their country through patriotic motives.
Many OF those who emerged unscathed
from battle do not want to be rewarded
financially for the rest of their lives bv

and they did it. And after they hung up
their uniforms, they went back to work as
free citizens and asked no special favors
from any man."

THOUGHTS OF MOTHER

When it's springtme in Virginia
And its mantle Of beauty loys
Over the hills and valleys
AS it did in my childhood doys,
When the summer birds return to US
And their songs ore borne to me,
1t is then when earth is beautiful
Thot my thoughts Oft turn to thee.
You fought me the beouty Of sprnetin,e,
The birds and buds and the bee,
Your heart wos in tune with the songsters
Thot sang from each budding tree,
And learned from you the beouty and
The glamour Of each new spring,
And in spirit to join with nature
In her sprn9time coroling
Oh, for the touch Of your hands loved
And the sound Of your voice long still;
And your words that in childhood sorrow
Would my heart With courage fill
But most mid the beauty Of springtme
When Ioos ore blooming ogoin,
Does my heart most long for your presence

preaching sham Those defiling raw

privilege of all other Americans.

the Bible where the word Brother
hood is used, it reads thusly.
Honour all men Love the brother
hood. Fear God. Honour the king"
The king in this land is the Su-
preme Court.
The Bible says quote. Satan him

light" Anyone who has ever studied
the Bible enough to preach knows
that person cannot be in Biblical

Japanese Competition

COMPETITION from the japanese tex
tile industry is being felt in the South.
The Spring Maid mills at Lancaster, S. C.,
which had planned an expansion program
recently announced postponement and to-
day at Greenvlle, S. c., the Camperdown
textile mill has closed. The management
blamed its closing on japanese competition
on the American market. Up until recently
Japan has been furnishing only one per-
cent of the textiles on the American market,
not enough to make itself felt. The threat
of increasing imports appears to be a real
one
American manufacturers can not compete
on a market in which the cost of raw pro-
duets and labor is in such disparity, The
japanese textile operator received 17'e
cents per hour and the American 81. 90 per
hour minimum. American cotton on the
world market must compete with world
prices much below domestic prices Thus,
it is impossible to increase the production
in the Southern mills to offset the increased
cost on labor and raw products The only
hope is in a tariff adjustment to protect
American goods for home consumption.

Plans Set for Methodist College At Anchorage

DENVER, R-The National Alaska Methodist College Con- mittee of the Methodist Church laid the groundwork Friday night for establishment of a four-year college at Anchorage, Alaska.
 The committee of 20 members named Chester M. Alter, chancel- Tor of Denver University, dele gate to confer with Alaskan auth critics on the school.
 It also recommended speedy adoption of a charter, election of trustees, selection of a president, and appointment of school off cials for the school, which would be established with funds provid- ed by Methodist Church donations in this country.
 H. Conwell Smoke of Philadel- phia, treasurer of the committee, said about 6,000 churches thus far
 
 have contributed $616,362 to the college fund and have pledged an additional $575,694.
 In addition, Anchorage resi- dents have contributed $208,6 $50 of pledges totaling s717,o00.
 The committee approved a pro- posed academic program based on instruction in three liberal arts divisions-the humanities, social sciences and mathematics and the natural sciences.
 The committee is composed of Methodist ministers and laymen from the US. and Alaska.
 Reelected chairman of the committee was Bishop A. Ray mond Grant of Portland, Ore.
 Other officers, all reelected, are John Connolly, Anchorage at torney, vice chairman; the Rev P. Gordon Gould of Philadelphia, secretary; and these members of the executive committee:
 Bishop Grant, Connolly, Smoke, Gould, the Rev. ". Vernon Mid dleton of Philadelphia, George ". Steed of San Gabriel, Calif., and Arthur Waldron of Anchorage.

Eisenhower Declines Swiss Bid for Summit Conference in Switzerland

GETTYSBURG, Pa, R-Presi- dent Eisenhower Saturday told the Swiss. government the United States wants to continue handling current international crises in the United Nations rather than join in a new summit conference of major powers at this time.
 Eisenhower sent off a reply to the Swiss invitation to the United States, Britain. France, Russia and India for new conference of heads of government to avert the danger of World War III
 The announcement of Eisen- hower's reply to the invitation, extended earlier this week, was made at his farm home here soon after he arrived from Washington for few hours of relaxation.
 James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, said the President
The Nome nugget., 1956-11-12

had sent this cable to President Markus Feldmann of Switzerland:
 "The Federal Councils sugges- tion for a meeting in Switzerland of the five chiefs of government has received urgent and sympa- thetic consideration here.
 "I appreciate the sincerity of the Swiss proposal and share the concern for the preservation of peace which inspired it.
 However, the United Nations is actively seized [sicl with the various problems posing threat 10 world peace and I believe that interests of all will best be served by carrying these initiatives thru to a successful conclusion"
 Officials emphasized that the Eisenhower reply did not amount to an outright rejection of the Swiss invitation.
 What it boiled down to was an indirect statement that the US. does not intend, at this time, to act outside the United Nations in seeking to ease world tensions.
 The Presidents cable clearly left the way open for summit conference some time in the fu- ture if its efforts within the JUN. should not bear fruit.
