'InsuIted' by Lawrence

David Lawrence's article
February 10 is an insult to
all working people, particu-
larly the millions of 'unem-
ployed. In addition, he in
suits the intelligence of your
readers by citing his own
magazine as proof of. his
contention that it's the fault
of the. unemployed that they
have no jobs-they. simply
have priced themselves out
of a job.
Since Mr.. Lawrence is so
sure that laborerS are over
paid, / should like him to
prove his point by. living on
$86.58 a week for one year
and then let us hear from
him. (This is. the average
wage paid to employees in
manufacturing industries.) =,
No manufacturer would
stop installing lahor-saving
machinery, or hire any of the
millions unemployed. even if
labor gave up any thought
of wage increases. If a laborer
received only 40 cents an
hour and the manufacturer
could find or invent a ma
chine to do it for 35 cents
an hour, you can be sure
the machine would win.
Labor-saving machines are
here to stay and would have
been invented and sold even
if laborers had never had a
raise in wages. The machines
are just a part of our tech
biological age:
Another thing Mr.. Law
renee conveniently overlooks
is the matter of economic
survival in the race with Rus
sia. Does he blame laborers
and the unemployed for this.
too? He knows that industry
will not stop improving man
ufacturing methods, no mat
ter how little labor charges
for its services. He. tries to
foist the blame for this
country's every trouble on
labor.
Mr.. Lawrence says the un-
employed deserve their plight.
Well, Americans will put up
with want and privation for
only so long, and driving
us into a socialist state is
not the answer for the work.

LONDON, Feb. IA (AP).-
The British have agreed to
confer over the independence
Of Cyprus with a stormy
churchman they once branded
as instigator.. of killer gangs
on the Mediterranean island.
/ Black-bearded. 45-year-old
Archbishop Makarios was in
vited to London as the official
representative of the Greek
Cpyriot people. He replied that
he would fly to London to-
morrow.
May Become President
The move came amid specu-
lation that the primate may
become the first President Of
the projected republic.
The Archbishop will Join
British, Greek and Turkish
ministers in a conference next
Tuesday on granting independ-
ence to the British island COL
ony. which has lived under for
eign rule for centuries.
Less than three years ago the
British bundled the churchman
out OF Cyprus and condemned
him to exile on the remote Sey-
! chelles Islands in the Indian
Ocean.

Greek CypriotS at all levels
refused to treat with the Brit
, ish on a Cyprus solution until
he was freed.
| A year later the British COM
promised and turned him loose.
But they forbade him to re-
turn to Cyprus. The Arch
bishop went to Greece, where
he set up headquarters in an
Athens hotel room and resumed
his campaign for Cyprus indie

Italian Princess
Refused Shah,
Magazine Says

MILAN, italy, Feb. IA (AP)..
The Italian magazine Gente
reports that the Shah of Iran
offered an engagement ring to
Italian Princess Maria Ca
briella but the Princess re-
fused it.
The magazine said it learned
the Shah offered the ring
during a visit in Switzerland. 1t
said the l9-year-old Princess
laughed as she refused the ring.
The article quoted the Prin-
cess mother as saying she had
told the Shah: This wedding
with my daughter cannot be
considered at all possible. The
writer quoted former Queen
Maria Jose as saying she would
not deny her daughter permis-
sion to marry the Shah IF
both were in love with one an
other"
But" Gente said Maria Jose
commented, "the Shah told me
he still loves Princess Soraya.
The Shah divorced Soraya
last year after she failed to
bear an heir to the throne. He
is a MoSelm, the Italian Prin-
cess a Roman Catholic. Rumors

Praise for Brown

Although I see one of your
readers has suggested Con-
stantine Brown dealt in real
ism instead of emotion, I.
thought his recent article on
"moral strength" and an
other on George Orwell's
1884" both timely and in
teresting. Although it is per-
haps presumptuous of me to
say so of a writer who can
produce daily a very readable
column. my own view is that
Mr.. Browns recent tour has
given him. a better under
standing. of other nations
and a greater grasp of real
'ity-in other words. I think
he Is more inclined to see the
world, not perhaps as it
could be, or should be-, but as
it is, and I find his articles
since his return increasingly
interesting. .
AS for moral strength" it,
combined with a far-reach-
ing civil defense program, is
something I would prefer to
depend on in a crisis than a
few more missiles in an over
stocked arsenal; but when
I look about me at the
letdown from the mas
sive resistance" stand about
which we heard so much, the
ease with which so many
people f1ocked to the Rus
sian Embassy. after Sputnik
rs airy fight, the bitter
complaints of hardships en-
dured after a heavier-than-
usual snowfall in. this area.
I sometimes wonder just
what. it is we have to rely on.
However, in the various
crises through which we. pass.
/ take a tiny grain of COM
fort from George Orwell:s
message to this generation:
1.-The superstates cannot con-
quer. one another" but 80
long as they remain in con-
flict they prop one another
up like sheaves of corn"
This, and other interesting
passages throughout the
book, have helped me to un-
derstand the age in which
we live, the enemy without
and the enemy within, and
the liberties we must be ever
vigilant to preserve.

It was sudden but never the less ii
was lasting. The single invention
has been worth millions and mill

machine was so simple that any

Soon great numbers were in opera

would have remained poor to the

The Old
South
BY Mrs. j. w. Burwen
Ebenezer, Miss.

The Southern States we're feeling
hard times in this particular year,
1872, as a result of the Revolution
airy War. Most of the planters were
deeply in debt, their lands were
heavily mortgaged and such crops
as they were producing brought
but little profit. The result of al
this is that the young people an6
the most enterprising citizens were
leaving the country and moving in.
to town.
The chief cause of such hard con-
ditions was the difficulty of raising
cotton with any profit; owing to the
work it took In separating the seed
from the fiber. 1t required the work
of a good. hand all day long to clean
one pound of cotton. Just ina
CINE. Naturally this was paralyzing
the business life of the south.
Eli Whitney had never seen a boil
of cotton in his life, but decided to
get some raw cotton and expert
ment. Searching along the wharves
n Savannah, Ga, he found some
unclean cotton and taking home a
bundle he shut himcelf In a room

would clean the cotton.
