fish delegation is seeking funds
for coal mining equipment. How
ever, it was recently revealed that,
in 1947, Poland received from
Russia "a dollar a ton for coal
that sold freely in Western Eu-
rope for sixteen dollars" Else
where, a political leader in Ice
land, firmly stated that: ~. S.
loans are paying the ticket to keep
communists in power"
1t is also generally believed
that loans to Britain, immediate
ly following World War II,
strengthened the intentions and
ability of the party in power to
socialize that country.
Senator Knowland of California
put this matter in proper perspec-
tive in these words: "the basic is
sue involved, though it may not
be so clear today, is whether we
are now to embark upon a pro-
gram of supporting the political
and economic systems of interna-
tional communism in the coun-
tries which are behind the Iron
Curtain. :" With the essential
need for economy, U. S. funds
should not be used for these high
ly dubious purposes, and shall
vote accordingly.

low, Whittier, Poe, Kipling and so
on. l am greatly afraid that no
one will ever, ever emulate these
great opponents of beautiful
verse. For, although l have
searched avidly, 1 am yet to come
up with anything that is at all
comparable to 'Evangeline" or
"Thanatopsis" and so on. All mod
ern poetry Including my own
leaves me cold.
To appreciate poetry fully, it
should be read aloud. 1t is not
supposed to be sung. 1t should
be uttered as though in CONVEX
sation, and if it should happen to
rhyme-the euphony of the rhyme
should be de-emphasized. For,
while poetry is music, it's mean
ing that makes for beauty, not in
the euphony of agreeable sounds.
This type of reading is most
difficult with the Jingle" poems
of Robert Service, the master who
gave us The Spell of the Yukon"
"Premonition," My Madonna"
and hundreds of other classics.
On the other hand it is not diff
cult to do with Bryant's "Thana-
topsis" or Wordsworth's lode on
limitations of Immortality"

There are other areas, however,
in which legislation helpful to
small business is being consider
ed. One of these is Qualification of
pricing policies to meet competi-
ton under the antitrust laws. A
number of so-called quality of
opportunity" bills are pending be-
fore the Congress which would
limit the use of good faith" as
defense in price discrimination to
meet competition.
Under H. r. II and similar bills,
good faith" would not be a COM
plete defense in meeting prices of
a competitor if such pricing leads
to "a substantial lessening of com.
petition" or 'tends to create a mo-
nopoly."
One of the problems confront
ing the members of the House in
considering these bills stems from
the phrase "a substantial lessen
ing of competition" There is lack
of agreement as to the meaning
of the words as used in the bills.
Another difficulty encountered is
the possible harmful effects on a
small manufacturer in his attempt
to compete with big industry.

tunity' bills and proposals, which

At this writing, a delegation
from communist Poland is in
Washington seeking a loan of up
to $3.50 million, and there are in
dications that SIS million has been
assured that communist domi-
mated nation. That an everlasting
desire for freedom is shared by
the Poles, there can be no dues-
ton.
The Poznan instruction of last
year is an eloquent, yet tragic,
testimonial to this thirst for lib
erty. In a true humanitarian spir-
it, the American people will con-
tinue to extend the hand of friend
ship and cooperation to these un-
willing prisoners of the commu-
mist tyranny.
But, aiding and abetting the
promoters of the communist con-
spiracy, through economic assist
ance, is hardly a proper medium
for the restoration of freedom to
these peoples. Support and rein
forcement of the political and eco
nomic detectives of the Kremlin
will be the ultimate effect of loans
or grants to the communist re-
gime in Poland, or for that mat
ter to any of the Soviet satellites.
Thereby, the inclination for free
dom on the part of the oppressed
is not stregnthened-the power of
their oppressors is fortified.

these bills and the question the
