INTEREST RATES DOWN

The latest news from the financial world
is that interest rates are dropping-both for
home building loans and for business loans
This should be good news for all Americans
Interest rates reached such high level
in 1860 that only those with huge sums of
money were profiting from the excessive
rates The charge of Democrats-th through
out the years-is that the Republicans profit
from high interest rates because, generally
speaking, the Republican interests are those
with the money to loan, whereas many Dem
ocrats are those making the loans.
This, generally, is not completely accu-
rate; it is true that interest rates have been
high in recent Republican administrations,
and lower in Democratic administrations
The fact is that now, in Republican admin
istratiOn (and in an election year, interest
rates are dropping as result of normal
forces at work in the money market How
ever Administrative action-by the Federal
Reserve Board-has undoubtedly affected the
trend, and caused interest rates to recede
AS a long-term proposition, the party
which seeks to ensure low interest rates will
win votes For the average family, the larg-
est purchase of lifetime is the purchase of
home Whether that family pays per cent
or 61R per cent, and whether it pays for twen-
ty or thirty years, are major financial deciS-
ions of the family's lifetime, and, quite often,
make difference of several thousand dollars
to the family involved.
Therefore, from the standpoint of the ma
jority low interest rates are desirable One
of the goals of our government should be to
provide the average American family with
just and equitable interest rates for home
purchases, and perhaps automobile pur-
chases, and the little man. is entitled to a
fair break in this regard as he fights the eco
nOmic battle of life and attempts to pay his
not-inconsiderable tax bill

THE CAMPAIGN no COME

Joseph P Kennedy is said to have re-
marked to interviewers, upon arrival in Los
Angeles before the Democratic convention,
There's only one candidate in town and I'm
his old man." This may have been something
of an exaggeration, but events bore out the
statement rather closely. 1t was John F.
Kennedy all the way.
Now it is John F. Kennedy and Lyndon
B. Johnson, two strong and able members of
what has been called the greatest delibera-
tive body on. earth. And now it remains to be
seen whether they can go all the way in tan
dem.
Both Kennedy and Johnson are tough, po-
litically astute men, both vigorous campaign
ers. Barring the most extraordinary upset
at the Republican convention in Chicago, the
opposition confronting them will also be no
tably tough an dastute in the ways of poll
tics. There will be nothing amateurish about
the approaching campaign. 1t promises to
be one of the most interesting and hard
fought in our time.
Whether it will also be an Illuminating
campaign, one which searches out the heart
of vital issues and sets them forth clearly for
decision, is quite another matter. 1t could
be such campaign; it most emphatically
ought to be. The times demand that. The
reasonability for making it such a campaign
rests mainly upon the two senators, Kennedy
and Johnson, and upon two opponents whom
the Republican party will soon marshal
against them.

joined with Sun Oil Company to
produce polypropylene, thus COM
peting in the potrochemical field
with Dow, Monsanto, and Union
Carbide. These companies which
are expanding within their own
fields should be safer investments;
but some of those which have neg
lected their own business to go into
missiles and rockets may suffer
large losses.
LABOR VERSUS MANAGEMENT
During this cold war, it is too
bad to see the competition between
labor and management which re-
suits in serious strikes. A labor
strike against management is an
industrial battle and may well be
compared to military warfare be-
tween two nations. This especially
is true now, while the cold war with
Russia is in progress. Some be-
lieve that a national dictator is
necessary to make labor and man
agement cooperate; but this seems
unnecessary in a nation which pro-
fesses Christianity and the teach
ings of Jesus.
1t will be difficult enough to hold
our own against competition from
abroad and domestic competition
between corporations, without the
competition created by labor lead
ers. Both stockholders and men,
bers of the labor unions should
realize that wage increases with
out corresponding increases in pro-
duction or quality are dangerous.
They could result in stockholders
receiving smaller dividends; and
wage workers could suffer unem-
pIoyment, to the detriment of the
nation as a whole.

PLATFORMS AND PARTIES

One of the functions of national conven-
tiOns is the formulation of a platform, on
which the party, and its nominated candi-
dates, runs in the General Election in No
vember In recent days Democrats have been
hammering out their party platform, and the
Republicans will soon be at the same task.
The general public does not follow the
battle over the platform as closely as the
battle over nominations This is unfortunate,
for what the party stands for, and what the
platform actually is, is more important to
the average American-or should be than
the personality or identity of the man nomi-
mated to head the ticket
The reason the general public is not as
enlightened on the battles which go into the
formulation of party platform is because
this fight takes place the week before the
convention. Each major party has Plat
form Committee, and these committees deter
mine what the party will go on record as fay-
oring-for the next four years.
Generally speaking, over the past few
years the pressure groups and the organized
minorities have exerted disproportionate
influence on the formulation of a party plat
FORM AS result, platforms have been so
liberal that large segments of each major
party have not agreed on the planks within
them, and have actually opposed major seq
ments of the party platform.
This opposition has been translated into
Congressional opposition in Congress, since
the elected representatives of the people, in
Congress, reflect the sentiment of the people
more directly than the appointed members
of the Platform Committee of a National
Party.
Thus, the conclusion among the leader
ship in Congress in recent years has often
been that no action will be taken to imple-
ment decisions and positions assumed at the
prior convention of the party.
The more democratic system is at work
in Congress, because Senators and Congress
men are the elected representatives of the
people, and they reflect the sentiment back
home, or are not reelected. Platform Conn
mittees are too often composed of politicians
who are inclined to write platforms to win
votes-votes of pressure groups, vast politi-
cal blocs and minorities.
Therefore, in looking over party plat
form, one need not assume that this platform
will be implemented if the party which pro-
poses it is successful in November. Quite the
contrary has often been true In the past
so far as we can recall no party platform
has ever been fully implemented in Congress,
even when the party involved is successful
and controls both Houses of Congress and
the Presidency.

A Narrow Escape
From Drowning

Terry Jester. year old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Reese Jester. Slaugh-
ter Beach. had a narrow escape
from drowning on Saturday last,
when he fell off the jetty near his
parents cottage into deep water.
His mother, the former Ruth
Robbins, glanced out the door and
noticed the child on the jetty. and
called to him to come back to the
house. At that second he fell into
the water and would have drowned
except for his teen-age brother
Alan, who plunged into the water
and brought him safely to shore.
Needless to say Terry is now wary
of jetties.

BABSON PARK, Mass, July 22-
l am not now forecasting World
War III, but neither the United
States nor Russia can continue to
spend such vast amounts of money
on missiles, rockets, submarines,
etc. Either there must be a reduc-
ton in armaments (Khrushchev is
as anxious for this as we are), or
World War III is inevitable. How
ever, my message this week is on
the subject of COMPETITION,
which will be the ammunition :"
Russia will probably use to fight
the cold war.
FOREIGN COMPETITION
During my last trip to Germany,
| was astounded at the competition
which is developing there. Not only
are wages very low. but the eff
cheney of the workers is very high.
German industrialists are continu-
ing to make new machines which
can even replace their own work
ers. This applies to plastics, tex
tiles, and many other products. It
seems as though this competition
from Europe will cause unemploy-
ment in our country sooner or la
ter.
Added to the competition from
Europe, we also have much from
Japan. l could give illustrations
which would seem to you unbeliev-
able. These involve a great variety
of articles ranging from table DOLL
les, which sell for &c apiece, to
radios, cameras, and even televis-
ion sets. 1t all seems fantastic. and
detrimental to American manufae-
turers and wage workers. The only
concerns which can possibly profit
from it are big concerns such as

ENJOY THIS SUMMER

July is the midsummer month, and for
hundreds of years the human race has en-
joyed warm weather and the summer months
for outdoor activities recreation and vaca-
tons. In the United States, where there are
so many automobiles, we perhaps utilize the
good weather for long-distance travel better
than any people on earth.
One the other hand, we do not utilize the
simple things of life, which Nature offers so
abundantly in summer, and which are free
for the asking for all citizens in good health.
One of the great attractions of summer
consists of the many delightfully."- pleasant
nights which so often feature clear sky and
a panoramic picture of the stars and galax-
les. For those who live near the mountains,
walks and hikes, during both day and night,
can be invigorating, inspirational and actual
therapy-in our busy civilization
AS far as the appetite is concerned, sum-
mer provides us with host of fresh fruits
and vegetables, unmatched at any other time
of the year. This is the time for freezing
fresh fruits and vegetables, so that they will
be available on cold winter days six months
hence.
Finally, summer should be enjoyed as
time of vacation. 1t is not necessarily the
only time suitable for vacation (indeed some
people prefer Fall or Spring, when accomno-
dations are less crowded) but summer is
probably the best all-around time for the av
erage American family. The children are out
of school and swimming and boating is at its
best in the warmer months.
Every person in every family should plan
a suitable vacation. For families this would
preclude any rush or hurry along the high
ways, and would allow ample time for all
members of the family to rest. For some
families, it is actually desirable for members
to enjoy vacations away from each other, de
pending upon the circumstances. There is
such a thing, however, of a profitable rest
away from loved one of family of loved
,ones-even though all members of the family
are happy and bound together by love and
loyalty.
Thus, although it is hot, enjoy the nights
and the warm summer days, the fresh food,
and the relaxation of a good vacation this
year. For soon the summer will be over, and
if you have not enjoyed the beauty and plea
sure of outdoors, and the thrill of a vacation,
you will not have chance again soon-and
the summer of 1860 will never return again.
