Macmillan On H'aq

Prime Minister Harold Macmillan has indicated
that the British government was ready to sell arms
to the present regime in Iraq, regime which has
been almost universally labeled prO-communst
government
Ironically, on the very next day. it was announced
that Iraq pulling out of the Baghdad Pact This

OUT OF STEP

Privileged forces in a world grown small,
are proving that disregard of others is a
luxury which the citizens of the most power
full free nation can i'll afford. High produc-
tion costs are pricing US. goods out of fore
ign markets, out of our own domestic market,
and promoting unemployment. Important
segments of practically every group in this
country contribute to the initiation which has
brought this about.
Millions of people with stake in some
government activity are loath to see it cut.
This holds true whether the persons involved
are in business, industry, labor or farming.
The majority attending labor's recent con-
vention in Puerto Rico believed that the pre-
scription for more jobs is higher wages, short
er hours and higher government spending.
The story in foreign countries is far diff
ferent where, as Ernest r. Breech Chairman
of the Board of Ford Motor Car Company
points out: "As result of stern self-disci-
pline many countries in Europe have achieved
balanced budgets, and in certain instances
have had one or more tax cuts. No small con-
tribution has been made by wise and states
man-like labor leaders and workers in Eng
land, Germany and other countries, who re-
peatedly refuse to press for wage increases
that they felt their countries could ill-afford." J"
Strong international ties and understand
ing built on trade and travel between nations
will provide the foundation for peace. But
imitation, caused by unnecessary government
spending, and high cost production can pre-
vent us from competing in world markets.
A philosophy of more paw for less produc-
tion, and pre-occupation with personal secu-
rity underwritten by constantly higher taxa
ti0n and costly government competition in
fields of commercial enterprise can destroy
traditional values in this country and weaken
the position of the entire free world.

TREASURY,S PROBLEM


tions, the Treasury Department took a bold
step when it offered 500 million dollars in four
per cent bonds carrying a 10-year maturity.
The Treasury, which is responsible for financ-
ing the huge public debt, has been trying for
some time to lengthen the overall maturity
of that debt. -
But bonds with extended maturities, 10
years and more, must perforce carry top in
terest rates. Limited bv law to four and one
quarter per cent, the Treasury Department
finds itself in bind because this is not a top
rate under present conditions. Corporations,
which may pay more for their money, and
do, find many takers for their offerings.
Uncle Sam, who has borrowed more in one
month than all corporations, together have
borrowed in year, is temporarily stymied
and has had to relv on short-terrn issuances.
The 500-million fotation is an exception but
this figure, as against total debt of 285 bill
lion dollars, is inconsequential.
Nor do the problems of our debt manag-
ers end here. Government bonds are losing
their attractiveness- as investments. msur-
ance companies, pension trusts and other in
stitutions with huge sums at their disposal
find other securities more attractive. AS an
example, there are mortgages secured by gov
ernment guarantees which pay up to five and
one-quarter per cent in interest. Millions of
dollars are going into these mortgages that
used to 90 into Treasury securities.
The Treasury DEPARTMENT is faced with
the continuing need to finance the debt. To
do so at today's money rates is real strug-
gle 1t is no wonder that the Treasury hopes
against hope that the debt will not be in
creased; its problem is great enough now.

CHICKEN FEED?
Biggest item in the non-defense budget
is the farm program, high in the billions
And recent news developments show u. S.
payments in six figures to huge land holders,
and u. S. receipts of few thousands from
Michigan poultry farmer Stanley Yankus
Because they participated in the govern
ment scheme to keep prices high by cutting
down production, big wheat. rice, cotton and
peanut farmers draw subsidies paid out of
our tax money.
Because Stanley Yankus grew three extra
acres of wheat to feed to his own chickens,
and refused to participate in the govern
ment handout his $1,700 bank account was
seized And a government bureau, without
trial, ran his total penalties up to more than
$4,000.
1t was a big blow to Stanley Yankus, but
it was a big blow to freedom too, and any
impairment of freedom hurts all of us.
The lesson in the Yankus case was clear
one: when the government pays the piper,
the government calls the tune s. and soon
assumes the right to make everyone dance

OUR MODERN WORLD

Our modern world is something to think
about. We live in an age which is notable
for the number of ways we might suddenly
make hasty exit from this life.
If a Jet plane doesn't crash into ones
house, an ice plant might fall seven floors
as one did in Oklahoma City few days ago.
Or, a ten-thousand-gallon water tank
might topple off six-story building, as one
did in New York a few days ago. In other
words life in our modern world is not very
boring.
If we go out onto the narrow strip of
concrete which is called highway, and drive
on it long enough, we are likely to meet some
one head-on, or at least have to take to the
grass to avoid such a finale. And, if we seek
to escape it ALL and take luxury cruise, the
luxury liner may collide with another ship
before we return to port, as that seems to be
the trend.
One wonders just what he can do to es-
cape in case the hydrogen bombs begin to
fall, and this is, perhaps, the biggest modern
day threat of all. 1t is possible to dig cave,
erect lead door, and store the cave with
nuclear attack. But most of us will probably
be caught without this source of safety,
should such an attack occur.
In short, it is fast, dangerous world in
which we live, and when we realize that a
thousand Americans die in accidents each
week, it is SOLDERING testimonial to our hec-
tic pace of life.
For those who can afford it, it might be
good idea to buy small island in the Carib-
bean, or elsewhere, or in the South Pacific,
and head that way, at least for reconnais-
sance An island and an ample supply of
buckwheat cakes, might be the, difference
between being snuffed out in our modern-day
society, or in the next war, and living to
say, Il told you So"
