For Higher Tariff

For some time I have been
watching foreign-made goods
taking the place of our do
nestle products. Imported
cars are just one of many
items causing United States
businesses to close up or slow
down. Textile mills in New
England and North Carolina,
pottery factories in Indiana
and Ohio, and worSted mills
in Virginia are shutting down.
Business failures in the
week ending March Is totaled
1886. It is estimated that I'M
employment for March will
total around SIS million.
Congress thinks we can
spend our way out of the re-
ceSsion: A few billions for
roads, an emergency housing
program, q raise for the
armed forces, extended UNI
employment compensation.
etc.
The money, of course. will
come from the already over
burdened taxpayers.
Instead Of more spending.
let Congress do something
really constructive. One way
is to make tariffs so high
that foreign goods cannot
undersell our domestic goods.
If Congress fails to act,
Americans can boycott every
item made in a foreign
country. Kitty L. Reynolds.

Ezra Pounds Case

Some Of your readers seem
to forget that Ezra Pound
has been accused of treason,
which is defined as the most
serious crime that can be
committed by any citizen. No
one, to my knowledge, has
denied that Mr.. Pound COM
mitted the offenses of which
he stands accused. He did
his utmost. for pay, to assist
our enemy in time of war.
and many are the widows and
orphans in our land who have
him to thank for their be-
reavement.
Mr.. Pound has thus far
escaped trial, on the allega-
ton that he is of unsound
mind and cannot on that ac-
count properly defend him
self in court mot, it should
be noted, that he was insane
at the time he committed the
offenseS).
I infer from the letters Of
some of your readers that Mr..
Pound, because he is a poet,
should be sent forth.scot free.
This would indeed be poetic
license with a vengeance!
Poetry Is not q shield for
treachery. Let us be Just to
other artists, as well as to
our country.

Heod-On Crash

There seems to be q no.
ton that it is somehow i'm
. moral or unpatriotic to pur-
chase imported articles. A
letter from Sigmund Fried
man argued that it is un-
patriotic to drive a foreign
car. and that to do so in
creases our unemployment
and thus contributes to the
recession.
What does Mr.. Friedman
think happens to each dollar
that is paid for a foreign car?
The foreign country receiv-
ing it normally turns right
around and spends that dol
lar for something produced
in the United States which
it wants. The only difference
is that my dollar, instead of
adding to the receipts of an
American automobile dealer,
adds to the receipts of the
American wheat farmer or
the producer Of some other
product desired by the for
eign country which produced
my car. How else does Mr..
Friedman think our exports
of nearly $40 billion last year
(even excluding military aid
and special agricultural ex-
port programs) were bought
and paid for? These exports
are vital to the United States
economy and to our business
recovery. Any significant re-
duction will only make our
recession that much worse.
I happen to drive a for
eign car back and forth from
my Office Il have an Amer
lean car tool because of its
economy and ease Of ham
ding. There may be those
who enjoy cars with a for
eign look" as there are those
who enjoy cars with an ex-
pensive look or cars pat
termed after space ships.

Education Standards

All parents should turn
their attention to the educa-
ton standards for their chill
dren prescribed by Admiral
Rickover, DR.. TIVE and DR..
Killian at their meeting at
st. Adams.
We have been smart about
everything from coasters to
Thor" and jam to Jupiter. "
but most of the world is watt
ing like a cat for a mouse,
to see our seedlings die in
our educational morass.
Would that the Depart
ment of Health, Education
and Welfare put a standard
Of education into orbit soon,
so that our children will
survive to enjoy the benefits
of Vanguard, rather than
succumb to the evils thereof
waiting at the ragged, un-
even edges of our educa-
tional system.

REGISTERED Voters

David Koonce, in The Sun
day Star, lists some problems
in registration of Negroes to
vote in Southern States. I'd
like to point out that apathy
is sometimes equalled by
ignorance in the matter of
registrations"
Aliens are required to reg
lister with postmasters in
Tennessee, and a poor farmer
came in to register with the
Paris postmast w. T.
Vaughn. you don't look like
an alien person to me-" Mr.:
Vaughn said. The farmer had
seen others getting checks
for not raising cotton, to-
bacco. and other crops, and
he wanted to register.
II amt exactly ailing right
now. But I amt feeling so
well, either. But if the Gov
eminent is giving out checks
to ailing persons, I shore want
to register so / can get my
check, see?"
Being q permanently reg
istered voter of Tennessee,
allow me to suggest that If
the NAACP desires to unseat
senior members of the con-
gressional delegation from
Tennessee, it will have, most
likely, plenty of help in I'M
seating the senior Senator.
In the November, 1856, pres
idential election, Estes Ke-
fauver had this general back
ing: ID Lost in the State in
which he was born. (2) Lost
in the county in which he
was born. go Lost in the
town in which he was born.
az Lost in the voting pre-
cinct where he resided in
1856.
Do you think the voters
would have sent him back to
the Senate last time without
Dixon-Yates, and Pat SUIT
tons puny campaigning? Do
you believe all these yarns
about Southern Negroes be-
ing denied a vote, when they
really want to vote? don't.

" : W =
Christianity is catching UP
to the breath-taking mean
ing Of what is really in
volved in what we have
called the story Of the Good
Samaritan. That parable
smothers every type of isola-
ton. Its tremendous pro-
nouncement might well be
renamed, Boundless Horizons.
In it Jesus rubbed out all
lines between neighbors based
on proximity or geography
or racial background. Shall
we say it reverently, that
was His line?
In that final. ultimate
putting of mankind's press
ing problems He showed the
way. the only way, by which
men can live safely and
happily together on this
spinning island we call
earth. 1t is because His
followers have not dealt in
vast enough horizons that
we see the chaos and catas-
trophe which blight the
world today-at the very
time science has brought the
secret as to how all Gods
children, under all skies, can
be lifted above the swamps
Of penury and pain. pathos
and human tragedy. A 10Th
century social scientist puts
the mission of Jesus sue
emily when he says: "FIe
came to widen mans hori.
IONS. to break down all bar
riers, to bring men out Of
their little selfish backyards.
and to teach them the ideas
of brotherhood and love"
The dimensions Of Christ's
program are indicated In His
insistence that 1.-THE field is
the world"
This time of peril and Of
glorious challenge is the hour
for every American to face
the question. What really is
my line?" Is it the passion
of my Americanism to sell
horizons? Nationalism must
have great and far horizons
to cleanse it from its ignoble
strifes and mean ambitions.
Only horizons can wash pa
triotism from the narrowness
which is its doom. Only
horizons of understanding
friendship can win the mil
lions and millions now stand
ing in the valley of decision
in the uncommitted parts Of
the earth.
Only as our national legis.
lators, fixing the present So
called foreign" policy of the
United States. become sales
men of horizons, only as
the American people speak
through such enterprises as
"CARE"-thus stretching out
horizons wherever there is
want and woe-only as a
compassionate Christian
church mobilizes now in a
new world wide campaign
with horizons as its watch
word, can we save the future
for God and for man. To be
specific, for instance: What
America will do to buttreSs
India against communistic
wiles and pressures depends
not on the cultivation of
American back yards but on
the projection Of American
horizons. What we do to keep
India democratic may deter.

to the United States. States.
men on the Hill who are now
selling horizons may be de-
termining whether the Krem-
lin prophecy that our grand
children will live under com.
munism is fact or fiction.
