Some years ago this columnist
was highly amused at a revelation
made to him by candy manufac-
turer This had to do with how he
had solved the problem of having
his employees eat up all the prof
its. Here is his formula, recon
structed as nearly as | can recall.
given in his own words:
You know, the average woman
has sweet tooth. So does the
average man, but as all of my
employees on the production line
are women, my problem was to cut
down on the amount of candy they
ate each working day. OF course
they only ate the candies made of
the most expensive ingredients
At the most conservative estimate,
they were eating into my profits
to the tune of many thousands of
dollars per year.
Then came the Inspiration that
lead eventually to cutting down
this "employee-eating" loss by at
least 80 percent. AS a new girl
was hired. l told her that one of
the nice things about her job was
that she could eat all of the choco-
lates her little heart desired Now,
in most cases. the new hand never
having had her fill of chocolates.
proceeded to fill her stomach past
its handling capacity. The result:
a little lady with a badly upset
digestive system and a revulsion
to candy that sometimes lasted for
years. In my shop today there are
many girls who haven't eaten one
single piece of candy since their
first day on the job"
Somehow, recently IN looking
over the statistics of the number
of American people presently on
public payrOlls, this story told by
the candy manufacturer came
back to mind. 1t is true that there
are many government employees,
dedicated TO public service. but
just as in the case of the new
candy factory employee, it is true
that you can have too much of
even a good thing Today. we have
so many men and women working
for government that our economic
digestive system is badly upset
What makes it even worse is that
the patients condition threatens
to become worse. The upward
trend of Americans on public pay
rolls shows no signs of leveling
off, despite the fact, that one of
every eight employed Americans
is now employed by government.
Government employment - fed
cral, state and local-has risen
go percent since 1900 During
that same period non-government
employment has risen only 100
percent. The figures on govern
ment employment do not include
the 2.6 million in our armed forces
or the 221000 foreign nationals
working overseas for Uncle Sam.
Here follows table which
gives a breakdown of where this
host Of federal hired hands was
employed in 1857:
Federal Government 100000
State Governments 1,358000
County Governments SOS, 1000

Fidel Castro is reported TO
be planning to ask the United
States Government for flnan-
cial aid This is surprising in
view Of his hostile comments
about the United States. 1t
reveals an amazing unfamili-
arity with the reaction in this
country to what has happened
in the last few months in
Cuba.
rhe Washington govern
ment has had to deal with
relationships in Latin Amer
lea for many years, and 1t
tries to steer away from any
Intervention in internal af-
fairs. This course is criticized
at times by those who have
big investments in a partic-
ular country and who usually
come forth with the sugges-
ton that America deal with
the existing government and
let the question Of democracy
or dictatorship be handled by
the citizens themselves.
But the moral force Of the
United States is being exerted
today on the side of decency
and freedom for the people of
every country. When Deputy
Premier Mikoyan came here
from the Soviet Union not
long ago, it was not widely
publicized in advance that he
was largely responsible for
the murder Of many Hungar-
ian citizens. When the people
in America did get the facts,
there were many emphatic
expressions of disapproval.
Fidel Castro comes to visit
the United States under
somewhat different circum-
stances than did Mikoyan.
The American people have
been fully advised that the
Castro idea of justice is to
place before a firing squad

The United States Govern
ment. since, the days Of
President Wilson, has en-
deavored to discourage mill
tary revolutions as a means
Of changing administrations
in the countries Of Latin
America. Back in 1918, the
United States refused to
recognize a government in
Mexico headed by Gen.
Huerta because he rose to
power by assassination of
President Madero. This policy
Of nonrecognition was sub
sequently modified as revolu-
tons increased in Latin
American countries. Indeed,
it was argued that a revolu-
ton to upset a dictator and
to bring a democratic form
Of government was to be
condoned as a necessary step
and that recognition should
not be withheld from such a
regime.
1t would be much better,
however, if in all cases of
revolution only de facto"
recognition were given to new
governments and if "de jure"
or lawful recognition we're
accorded later only when an
election had been held that
was universally accepted as a
reflection Of the true will Of
the people uninhibited by any
form of coercion of the voters.
In recent years, expediency
has seemed to get the upper
hand. Fidel Castro'S behavior,
therefore, may bring a resto-
ration Of the moral principles
to which the Department Of
State used to be dedicated a
few decades ago.

Toft and Dulles, Both Hit by Cancer,
Called Eisenhower's Key Strenqth

Presidents administration at
critical moments the advice
Of the very two men who
most of all had given that
administration its strength.
To recall them at the out
set of this administration six
years ago is to recall two
tough, strong : headed and
sometimes wrong headed old
pros. For all their faults they
were nevertheless deter
mined, each in his own field,
to make another mans ten
ure a success. (And, indeed,
determined to do a good deal
more leading than follow
ing.)
They were very different
men in some ways. Mr.. Dulles
was cautious and often legal
istic. Senator Taft was i'm
patient and harshly candid.
Sometimes he was even reck-
less in his resolve to guaran-
tee to the country what he
considered to be a properly
Republican administration.
He looked with Skepticism on
the modern" Republicans
who had put Gen. EiSen-
hover rather than Robert A.
Taft into the White House,
but he faithfully served. all
the same.
Mr.. Dulles, on his side,
sought the cooperation of
the Democratic opposition
which Senator Taft so
grandly spurned. But the
Secretary himself never for
got, actually, that this was
a Republican administration.
And he was comfortable in
Senator Taft'S company and
the Senator in his. True, they
had often disagreed, while
both were members of the
Senate, and Mr.. Dulles in the
past has been in the anti
Taft wing of the G. O.P.
But these divisions became

more superficial than real.
Senator Taft was delighted
when Mr.. Dulles was ap-
pointed to the Secretaryship.
He told this correspondent,
in his fiat way: Most salts
factory! Most satisfactory!
Foster will do the job" For
the laconic Senator Taft, this
amounted to the issuance of
an accolade.
For, underneath. there was
much in common between
Senator Taft and Secretary
Dulles. Each set out to be a
strong, and not necessarily a
popular. public man. The Sem
ator all but courted the dis
like of the crowd. He did so,
first, because his great shy
ness made him, by necessity,
an anticrowd man. And he
did so because he reckoned,
rightly as it turned out, that
the whole long slope of his
public record at length would
speak for him better than he
could speak for himself. He
became "Mr. Integrity" And
it was an earned title, even
if one never agreed with him
for a single moment.
Secretary Dulles, too, until
lately has been unpopular
with many in this country
and with a great many
among our allies overseas.
Unlike Senator Taft, he has
never ignored unpopularity.
But, like the Senator, un-
popularity for years came to
him partly because in his
preoccupation with what he
was doing he often did not
concern himself much with
his manner of doing it.
1t is only since prolonged
illness took him out of the
active arena that many have
become aware that the ideas
Of Foster Dulles, like them
all or not. have made a
unique contribution to the
coherence-that is to say the
the essential strengthen all

Unlike the treatment he
ave scores of his fellow
countrymen whom he or
dered executed without fair
trials, Fidel Castro Is being
given q chance to face his
aceusers in the United States.
For Cuba's dictator is him
self on trial now in the court
OF public opinion in this
country. He has an oppor-
tunity in the next few days
TO make speeches before press
organizations here and in
New York and before some
college audiences as well. He
can reply to the charges
made against him in the
news dispatches Of recent
weeks telling Of the perfume
tory trials and his applica-
ton Of the death penalty in
more than 500 cases.
But the major indictment
against Fidel Castro is that
he has done irreparable harm
to the prestige of the gov
eminent of Cuba in this
hemisphere and throughout
the world. Americans used to
feel that they could go to
Cuba without fear and with
a feeling that this next-door
neighbor to the United
States was a friendly one.
Today there are confirmed
reports about Communist in
filtration in Cuba. In fact,
there are plenty Of COM
ments by Fidel Castro, him
self, showing contempt for
the United States and for
Americans in general. These
are unlike the utterances OF
any man who has previously
headed the Cuban govern
ment in the more than 60
years of its existence as an
independent country.
The Cuban leader keeps ar
guing that the dictator who
preceded him was guilty OF
many crimes and sins against
the Cuban people. But Anglo
Saxon principles of common
law have for centuries set
forth the truth that two
wrongs do not make a single
right and that even the worst

mination) that somehow,
someday he would become
Secretary of State.
During the years when Mr..
Dulles was the senior partner
Of one Of the most lucrative
law firms in Wall Street land
before that time when he was
working up to that position)
he applied himself to the
study and understanding Of
the intricate relationship be-
tween nations. His friends
say that he took to fishing
instead Of golf or bridge as
a hobby because a fisherman
holding the rod for hours be-
fore he gets a bite can think
more leisurely than a man
engaging in any other sport.
Because Of his intransigent
character and inability to
fleX, Mr.. Dulles had few
friends even in his own party
before he became Secretary
of State. In 1913, when it
appeared that the Republi-
cans would defeat Mr.. Tru-
man and Gov. Thomas e.
Dewey was busy selecting his
cabinet. a number of promi-
nent Republicans visited him
to warn that he would have
trouble with his own followers
in the Senate in getting Mr..
Dulles confirmed as Secre-
tary of State. These same
men (some of them still in
the Senate) are now the most
ardent admirers and friends
of Mr.. Dulles.
Mr.. Dulles inflexibility to-
ward international commu-
nism and its hot and cold
tactics is not the result of
any anti-Marxian prejudices.
He has watched the birth
and growth of communism
and the changes which oc-
CURED during the nearly
half a-century of its exist
ence. He became convinced
during the early part of the
last war that the MARKHAM
doctrines had been discarded
in effect by Stain and later
by his successors. He realized
far more than the most dedi-
Gated ti-Communist that
unless we put up a solid front
to the insane ambitions of
world domination of the men
in the Kremlin the whole
world, including this country,
would fall in one way or an
other under the control of
Moscow.
Mr.. Dulles is fundamen-
