Acreage In County

Two representatives of the Ke-

who have been leasing oil and gas
rights from Madison County land
owners said hey expect to re-

the company as "a leasing project

The leases are said to include
a clause that says the land own

or gas production from his land.
They said copies of the contracts
are filed with the county record

County records available at this

Missouri Weddinu

There was a certain heart-Warming
quality about Margaret Trumans we'd
ding-a quality very much in keeping
with the character of the Trumans of
Missouri.
There was very little about this cere-
mony to suggest that the daughter of a
former President of the United States
was taking her marriage vows. 1t might
almost have been the wedding day Of
anyone'S daughter in anyone'S home
town. Most of the guests were longtime
friends of the bride. Any tendency to-
ward extravaganza was sternly repreSsed.
The whole emphasis was on simplicity, in
keeping with the concept that marriage
is a serious undertaking, not lark or
a three-ring circus.
1t was wedding attended by only
few of those in Washington who know the
TrumanS and count them as friends. But
this was the way they wanted it to be,
and, really, as it should have been. We
wish the young couple the very best OF
luck and our hope for them is that their
marriage will be as good and as rewarding
as that of the parents of the bride.

Danger in Boycotts

Importation of Japanese textiles,
produced at costs lower than our own,
has been viewed with understandable
concern by the American textile industry
Vigorously competitive within itself and
facing steadily rising charges for labor
and it's raw materials, the American in
dustry has been notably less prosperous
than many other SegmentS of the econ
omy in the recent boom years. Cheaper
foreign goods in the American market
pose an added threat.
There is, however, reason for broader
misgivingS over the implied appeal to
boycott japanese textiles in two Southern
States-Alabama and South Carolina
where much of the American industry
now is conferred State legislation hav-
ing the effect of urging that Japanese
goods be boycotted has been enacted.
Japan needs export markets in order to
live, and textile production is one of its
most profitable lines. Our overall trade
with Japan, an important ally in the Far
East, is governed basically by CONNER
cial treaty containing certain guarantees
against discrimination and boycott. Vio-
lation of these guarantees not only could
bring trade retaliation, but could endan-
ger our entire relationship with the Pa
cific empire or with other countries SINH
larly affected
Secretary of State Dulles, responding
to japanese protest, has expressed his
"very great concern" but has explained
that court test would be needed to re-
~
and State laws. If trade relations are to
be an effective part of our foreign policy
1t is essential that the Federal Govern
ment's authority to make the ground
rules should be clearly established.

Brake on Initiation

Federal Reserve Board Chairman
Martin told a Senate Banking subcom-
mittee last fall that the economy had
been performing satisfactorily, and it's
our job to keep it that way" Mr.. Martin
did not mean, of course, that the Federal
Reserve Board can guarantee constant
prosperity or even a complete stability
for the national economy. There has
been no management machinery yet
created that can boast such benevolent
effectiveness The board does have show
ever some powerful tools for applying
certain checks and balances to the eco
nomic system, 1t has made use of one
of these weapons in hiking its lending
rate to reserve system banks to the high
est level since May 1888. 1t was the fifth
such increase in exactly IL months, each
calculated to impose damper on ex-
banding credit and the accompanying
threat of further imitation.
In recent months the threat has
become an increasingly real one, Wages
and prices in virtually every category
except farm and food products have been
moving up. A new showdown is Sched-
uled this summer in the steel industry,
with labor expected to win higher wages
and industry virtually committed already
10 a substantial increase in its prices.
fhe record program of industrial expan-
sion, plus piling up of inventories, have
helped push business borrowing up
steadily-about SIPS billion in the four
weeks ending in mid-March In some
areas, shortages of materials are accom-
panied by scarcities of skilled labor
always an inflationary combination.
on the whole, this past three years
has been marked by relative stability and
a control of inflationary pressures. 1t is
unlikely, in these times. that any govern
ment wishes to bring on real deflation

BoIstered Boqhdod Pact

The Baghdad pact nations, with the
United States in close support, have made
1t clear they are not to be bluffed out of
their alliance They have emerged, in
fact, from their second ministerial meet
Ing as an association strengthened in
determination to maintain a united bar
rier against Communist aggression or
subversion, to work jointly for their own
internal political and economic develop
ment ana to promote the welfare and
stability of region stretching from the
Middle East to South Asia In carrying
on with their plans, the member nations
have refused to be deferred by the blus-
tering protests from Soviet Russia, the
angry disapproval of nearby nonmember
Arab states, or the "neutralist" criticism
of India.
For its part. the United States has
expanded in tangible form its close rela-
tionship to the alliance without actually
becoming a member of it. Our future
cooperation will take these courses:
Membership in the Economic Committee
and in the Counter SubverSion Commit
tee, continuance of military and economic
aid contribution to a permanent secre-
tariat and establishment Of a military
liaison mission at the pact headquarters.
Criticism Of this alliance has been
specious from the beginning, particularly
from Russian sources. AS a military
body, it obviously does not represent
force for aggression or a threat to the
security of the Soviet Union. AS a re-
gional association, it has set up social
and economic goals that are worthy of a
broader acceptance by neighboring states
and has invited those states to cooperate
in the area planning or to become full
members of the alliance. The present
members have common interests and
problems. Their association, even though
giving rise to controversy is a promising
one. Our own support, even while limited,
is fully justified.

In letters tc The Star on
December Is, 1855. and again
on April 3, 1856. I suggested
that the farm surplus problem
could best be handled by means
of a minimum wage guarantee
to the farmer Just as the
Government was requiring in
dustry to guarantee a mini
mum wage to the laborer.
Since no scientific study OF
the subject had been made, !
suggested the following for
mula as beginning: Let the
Government guarantee 100
per cent parity on the first
$4,000 worth of farm products.
90 per cent parity on the next
$1,000. 80 per cent on the
fourth, 10 per cent on the fifth.
go per cent parity from $4,000
TO $4,000, and nothing over
this figure. :.
In my second letter, !
pointed that Senator Kefauver
was now advocating a similar
solution with his 100 per cent
parity on the first $1,000 OF
farm income for about 5 mil
lion farm families.
1t is interesting to observe
that Walter Lippmann. ma
tionally syndicated by the New
York Herald Tribune. reached
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-22
LETTERS TO THE STAR

a similar conclusion in his
column of April 10, 1856. He
closed his article on the future
of the American farmer as
follows:
ut will be better to support
the incomes of the farmers, as
we do those of the industrial
population, on the principle
Of social security, and to let
prices become genuine as de-
termined by the markets"
What I have suggested, what
Senator Kefauver is advo-
eating. and what Mr.. Lipp-
mann is now saying. is that a
new farm program based on
the principle of a minimum
wage for agriculture should be
adopted.
Such a program would guar
antee a living to the small
family farmer, discourage
overproduction by the big
factory-type farm operator,
lower the cost OF food to the
consumer by letting prices
seek their own level in the
market place, and save the
Government millions Of dollars
in high parity supports.
