SUMMIT SPECTACLE

The Department of State caught the
Kremlin squarely between wind and water
with these pointed questions In our latest
note on the proposed conference at the sum-
nit "What is the purpose for which sum-
NIT meeting would be held? Is it the purpose
merely to stage spectacle? Or is the pur-
pose to take meaningful decisions?"
The barrage of letters from Bulganin has
not obscured the fact that what the Rus
slams seem to want is a spectacle. This is
shown by their insistence that a prelimi-
nary meeting of foreign ministers be strict
ly limited" to drafting an agenda and fixing
time and place for the summit conference.
That would commit President Eisenhower
and other Western leaders to meet with the
Kremin chiefs without any assurance that
there could be agreement on matters of SUBJ
stance Such a meeting would almost cer-
tainly be fruitless. Washington has wisely
rejected such limitations on the foreign min
isters' meeting.
The rejection included these blunt words ::
"A meeting of heads of government that was
merely ceremonial or social, or which merely
repeated promises already given or hopes al
ready expressed would not, in the opinion of
the government of the United States, be war;
ranted"
1t is pity that things have reached this
impasse. The world yearns for summit talks
that would magically clear the way toward
mutual understanding and peace. But such
talks are not to be realistically hoped for.
The best we can hope for is talks based on
firm preparations by the foreign ministers.
Until the Russians agree to at least that, a
summit conference would be pointleSs

BABSON DISCUSSES EDUCATION

Babson Park, Mass. March 49,
Since the launching of the Russian
Sputniks, there has been much hue
md cry about our educational def
eiencies. Many people, especially
frightened Administration officials
and Congressman, now want us to
concentrate on scientific subjects in
our elementary and high schools, as
we'll as in our colleges. In their
eagerness to restore our lost pres
tige. they forget that economics and
merchandising are as important as
physics and chemistry.
What About Teachers Salaries?
Many voices are being raised in
Washington in favor of federal aid
70 schools. 1t is pointed out that
this aid is needed because local
communities cannot pay today's
high costs of maintaining proper
schools. Those who want Uncle Sam
to dole out funds for school pur-
poses cite the need for higher
salaries for teachers. l think Wash
ington should proceed cautiously in
the matter of federal aid to schools.
Such program. though started
on a nominal level, would grow to
such proportions as to hurt rather
than help the overall economy.
We should remember that our
ability to pay is limited. If every
request for government aid is
granted. we shall hurl ourselves
into an economic disaster that
could easily mean the end of our
way of life. AS for teachers sal
aries: / am in favor of hiking
salary levels to get better teachers.
But I do not think it fair to the

Scholarships Alone Are Not
The Answer
Uncle Sam is being asked to
grant scholarships to pupils as an
incentive for them to do better
work generally and to undertake
studies i'm scientific fields. 1t is a
sound idea to give scholarships to
exceptional students; but why ex-
pect Uncle Sam to finance them?
Local business interests and local
governments should partly carry
the ball here. However, scholar
ships alone are not the answer to
what ails us educationally.
What we need-and what | have
been advocating for long time-is
a complete overhaul of our edu-
cational system. For the past couple
of generations, we have been grow
ing soft" in our attitude toward
teachers and pupils. Progressive
education has been anything but
progressive. With its emphasis on
self expression. it has destroyed
discipline in many of our schools.
Today, respect for teachers is the
exception rather than the rule. as
is respect for the rights of others.
Our Children Are Our True Wealth
Teachers and educational theor-
lists should not be blamed for all
the troubles that beset our schools
today We parents and grandparents
are also to blame. In our eagerness
to avoid controversy regarding re-
Milford chronicle., 1958-03-14

ligion i'm public schools, we have
forced school administrators to a
void teaching ethics and morals,-
or at least we have sat idly by.
Our children and grandchildren
are our true wealth. We need theiI
brain power and moral fiber tt
meet the serious problems which
we will face in another decade O.
two. Yet most of us do not spen
as much time with our young in !;
month as we spend working out tn
details of a single business agree
ment. And when we are with thes
young people, do we know how T.
talk to them, how to capture-an(
hold-their interest?
Restore Discipline And Study
The first thing we must do fo
the next generation. is to restor
their respect for discipline ant
study. To do this, we must tak'
an interest in our young people. W.
must teach them ourselves by ex
ample. as well as by precept.
AS for study: The blame for lacl
of proper study habits among chill
dren today should be laid squarel,
upon the shoulders of parents
Lax fathers and mothers push thei'
children into adult pursuits tor
early in life. The result is tha'
boys and girls have such a demand
ing social life that they may not be
able to give sufficient time to study
As they grow older. these social
obligations increase and Study
gets still less attention. Failure tc
correct this trend can one day make
us easier prey for some sturdier

closed.
So ends. enforcement effort on a
1851 law that purported to tax all
coop earnings and which has been
described as "a poorly disguised at
tempt to solve the tax-equality prob
lem by loading the income tax on
the farmer-members of co-ops,
while the coop corporations them
selves paid little or nothing. Con-
gressmen who voted for it obviously
hoped it would soothe those out
ragged tax-paying businessmen who
continue TO suffer from. the unfair
and steadily increasing competition
of the virtually tax-free cooper
atives.
But competition from tax
exempt cooperatives" has been list
ed just now by the Small Business
Administration as one of the most
serious troubles of small business
men, and the troublesome prob
lem, as Secretary of the Trea-
sury Anderson called it,. is right
back on the doorstep of Congress
put there by the Deputy Secretary
of the Treasury in testimony before
the Senate Finance Committee when
he said:
Under existing law, it would 6e
possible for any cooperative to
allocate 100 per cent of earnings
and thereby be completely exempt,
and the recipient of patronage divi-
dends likewise would not be taxable
and there would be no tax what
ever.
No tax whatever from millions
of dollars of profits-when the Ma
ton needs every dime it can collect
for missiles and satellites and nu-
clear submarinesi
But there is a solution-in the
Davis Bill CHR 4265) now before
the Congress. 1t would not only re-
quire co-ops to pay income taxes
on the same basis as other corpor-
ations but would provide some prac-
tical and realistic farm relief"
besidesi
After paying its taxes in the same
manner as the businesses with
which it competes, the coop is re-
quired under the Davis Bill to
distribute it's earnings and advise
each member that he has a tax
credit for the amount paid on his
share of those earnings. Thus, for
each $100 of earnings, the coop
pays the Treasury S52 and RENTS
$48 in cash money and $52 tax
credit to the member. He, in turn,
would report the $10O as income
and apply the $50 credit against his
total income tax. If he had no tax
able income other than his coop
share, he would pay 500 of the $50
credit in tax, and the Treasury
would give him the remaining $32
in cash!
