REV. ROBERT H. HARPER

A SOFT AGE
n UTE a few persons in my
~ hearing recently have talked
about the hard conditions of their
childhood, not in complaint but in
conviction that more hardness
might be beneficial to childhood
and youth today. For example, a
retired teacher, lodging the whiz-
zing automobiles, remarked that
she walked a mile to a newly-es-
tablished school in the town that
has since grown to be a city Of
fifty or sixty thousand and all that
goes to make city.
But in her school days, there
were no municipal buses, there
were muddy streets in winter and
dusty streets in summer. She
thought nothing Of walking a mile
to school and a mile back, And she
finished at the Institute and later
graduated cum laude from the
State University.
Now the writer would not advo-
cate a return to 1.-The good old
days." for they often lacked much
Of goodness. But we cannot es-
cape the conviction that there was
wholesome discipline in hard
things and in the struggle to get
on the world. Let us not make
education and opportunity so easy
that there will be little appeal to
the sense Of the heroic that Is
latent in the human breast.

OFFICIAL DISREGARD OF PUBLIC OPINION

When a Government, whose functions are fundamental
ly Of public character, is object of serious accusations
regarding the manner in which it manages the business OF
the State, or for its political attitude adverse to democracy,
it has the duty to give an explanation to the country, SO
that the people may know the official viewpoint, and decide
whether it is right or wrong.
In the countries governed by men who respect pubhc
opinion, as soon as an accusation OF that nature Is MADE
against them by responsible elements or of national Signi-
ficance, i%mmediatly they concern themselves with establish
ing the true facts, since they know that they are only
servants of the people, to whom they owe respect and in
formation.
On the other hand, when in Government circles there
is no sense of responsibility, because Power does not Orlg-
nate i'm the will of the people but in the strength OF bayO-
nets and administrative abuses, those in charge OF the
regime are not interested in defending themselves against
the charges the people or their spokesman make against
them, although the nature of every Government is OF ba-
sically public character, and they have a duty with the
public.
That kind of officials or Chiefs of State are not in.
terested i'm such a defense, because the opinion the people
may have about them does not alter the normally of their
political state of mind, which is arbirarineSS. Naturally,
that contempt for national public opinion sooner or later
has its consequences, because there are no civilized people
who may resign themselves completely to such a situation,
within which their rights are object of irritating deceit and
violations.
No head of Government can afford the luxury of
being indifferent to the accusations of the people, because
the nature of his functions do not allow it. The servants
of the State must, fOrcbly, accept this kind of challenge,
and no one who has reached power through democratic
WAYS, and who exercises it with a sense of responsibility,
fears public debate, that necessary interchange of inform a.
ton and opinions between Government officials and t e
people.

RuboHom Analyses Price Drops
in Coffee And Raw Materials

NEW YORK (U.P.O - Roy R.
Rubottom, Assistant Secretary of
State for Latin American Affairs.
in an article in the Journal of
Commerce about Pan American
Day, expresses his sympathy for
the difficulties Latin America is
meeting due to the drop in prices
of coffee, copper, lead and zinc,
and other metals, and about the
problemas Venezuela is confront
ing in her oil exports.
He makes mention of his visit
to Colombia and Venezuela to talk
about finances of coffee and oil.
Rubottom refers to the reduction
of about 80 per cent in price Of
Colombia's coffee, last year. Five
of the coffee growing countries of
Latin America, he added, receive
more of one half of their foreign
exchange from their coffee exports.
"These countries know the ma
ture of the problem and of their
common interest. They recognize
the necessity to employ the best
possible methods to estimate flu
ture supplies, the commercial de-
mand, and of the joint effort
needed to stimulate demand.
"Coffee is as important for Lat
in America as it is for US, he
says. We are interested to see the
coffee industry on firm basis and
we are prompt to cooperate by all
possible means with the producing
countries, in order to accomplish
this AIM"
The drop of so per cent in price
of copper during the last two years
he says, is fatal for Chile, be-
cause it came together with the
great efforts realized by the Chill
cans to stabilize their economy,
after long years of initiation"
"We have greatly cooperated
with the Chilean government in
its programs of sterilization, and
we will continue to do so, he
says"
He also says Mexico and Peru
have also been affected by the
drop in price of lead and zinc.
Referring to the voluntary re-
Iduction in the import of oil by
this country, he says this only APP
plies to crude OIL imports, and
not to its proeucts of fuel oil resi-
dual, which is the highest type of
'Venezuela's export.
"While we absorb about one
fourth of the Venezuela's crude oil
export, he says, we consume about
one half of her fuel oil. About
30 per cent of the present Vene-
,seuela's exports consist of refined
products sent to U.S., and the
crude oil export to other places
is not affected by our program of
voluntary reduction OF oil i'm
