ANOTHER WAR?

ANOTHER WAR?
In Washington, as in other national capi-
tails, officials often ponder the grim question:
"Will there be another WARP"
The aftermath of Nikita Khrushchevs
recent visit to this country has raised this
ominous question again. And the visit of the
Russian leader has influenced some to con-
clude that the world is headed for another
world war.
khrushchev is more cocksure than ever
before, in the opinion of some who watched
his performance at the United Nations. He is
intent upon ruling the world or running the
people and organizations which stand in his
way - like President Eisenhower and the
United Nations.
This course of action could well be the
prelude to another great conflict between the
powers with or without nuclear weapons
used. 1t is tragic beyond description to think
of another world war. Yet we continue to
arm, and probably the United States will in
crease it's military expenditures next year.
No other course is left open to us, in
light of Khrushchev's dangerous attitude.
So, then. fifteen years after World War Ill
ended, the grim spectre of another war looms
ahead of us. We cannot afford to dismiss the
possibility. We must prepare to defend our
selves We are in the same boat again. His
tory, it seems, may not yet be ready to dis
pose of wars.
The "war to end wars" and the war to
establish united nations have not brought
us peace and order in the world. Khrush-
chev's behavior makes that clear and in
Washington the evaluation of Russia's u. N
performance is not an encouraging one.
DANGEROUS DISTRACTIONS
The next administration will have to
deal with two crucial responsibilities nat
ional defense and foreign policy. 1t seems
likely that the survival of this nation and of
the free world will depend upon how success
fully these responsibilities are met.
Defense and foreign policy are true nat
ional responsibilities, since they can not be
handled by any branch of government below
the federal level. Because of their impor-
tance, they need the fullest and most skillful
attention of both the Congress and the Exc
cuiiye. Yet in dealing with them, the natio-
nal government will be hampered by sur
plus of national problems that are not tru-
ly national. Most of these problems can and
should be handled at the state county and
city level where they originate.
Lack of local funds is most often given
as the reason for not dealing locally with pro-
blerls such as slums, roads and schools Yet,
except for import duties, the federal govern
ment has access to no tax sources that are
not available to the state and local govern
ments. The total of national wealth is no
greater than the sum of local wealth in the
nation.
Putting more and more burdens on the
federal government many political
candidates have advocated - is dangerously
sfortsighted. Every secondary duty that dis
tracts the national government from it's pri-
mary responsibility for foreign policy and
defense increases the danger of war and dis.
aster.

BabsOn Park, Mass, Nov. 10. Up
until a few months ago, the popu-
lar subject of discussion was the
so-called golden sixties" business
boom. Expectations were based
largely upon the projected growth
in population and consumer spend
ing, predicated upon the free
spending attitude of consumers
since the end of World War II. Con-
sumers have upset the applicant,
however, by exhibiting greater
patience with regard to building
new homes and purchasing dur
able goods. Moreover, they are put
ting away larger amounts in saw
ings. The net result has been a
slowing down of industrial activ-
ity.
Putting The Brakes On Initiation
Political promises have been
thrown at voters by the candidates
in an attempt to claim credit for
hahing initiation. The truth of the
matter is that the bulk of the Gre
dit belongs to the consumers. AL
though Federal monetary policies
designed to tighten credit can dam
pen inflationary pressures, it is
the voluntary action of consumers
which determines spending and
borrowing.
By sticking to a systematic and
intelligent savings program, the
readers of this column can both
help check initiation and lay the
groundwork for healthy period
of future economic growth. Cure
all legislation suggested by polite
ians appears very tempting; but it
is the old-fashioned habit of

bers in the 1916 election. Both
served together on the House La
Dor Committee.
Until Wednesday, neither had
ever lost an election, contest.
Before the California outcome
became certain, Kennedy had won
30 states with 267 electoral votes,
two short of the necessary ma
jority.
But those 267 included Is votes
six in Alabama and II in Geor-
gia--which conceivably could have
gone to someone else. The six Ala
bama electors had never commit
ted themselves, and the II in Geor-
gia were not required by law to
vote for the Kennedy-Johnson tic
ket.
But with California's 80 votes,
Kennedy could lose the Is votes
in Alabama and Georgia and still
win a 12-vote majority.
Kennedy, Catholic, was ap-
parently both helped and hurt by
the religious issue.
The presidential count began
Tuesday evening with big cities in
the East giving him commanding
! lead in both popular and electoral
votes, once enough ballots were
reported to show trend. But his
popular vote margin shrank with
| later reports from the Midwest
and Far West, while doubts about
late-reporting precints made his
claim to anelectoral majority
| shaky.
Among the big battle-ground
states, Kennedy carried New York,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Michigan,
New Jersey, and his home state OF
Massachusetts. He led in Illinois,
! and Nixon's home state of Cali
fornia, but Nixon won Ohio.
In the South, Nixon failed to
match President Eisenhower rec
ord, largely because Texas stayed
with the Democratic ticket, and
Kennedy's running mate, Senator
Lyndon b. Johnson of Texas. He
did carry Virginia, Tennessee and
Florida He also won the border
states of Kentucky and Oklahoma,
where Kennedy's religion was a
handicap to the Democratic NOM
inee.
Mississippi gave it's eight cleo
toral votes to an unpledged slate
of electors who would like to see
the presidential election thrown
into the national House of Repre-
iss ltatives by preventing either
candidate from getting majority
Nixon carried nearly all Of the
states in the farm belt-a recent
trouble spot for the COP.
Both Kennedy and Nixon retired
for the night without firm state
ment about the election. President
Eisenhower, who had thrown all
his prestige behind Nixon, was
silent after an early evening ap-
pearance at the COP election
! headquarters to urge his party to
keep fighting for votes as long as
the polls were open.
Kennedy then had what looked
like a safe lead, but voters still
were marking ballots in the west

vices for the public by providing
new buildings and equipment, de-
signed for efficient and economical
matchmaking.
He said that, Under the Post
Office Departments unique Com
mercial Leasing Program, the De-
partment now is awarding con-
tracts for new postal facilities at
the accelerated rate of over five
buildings every working day. To
achieve complete modernization OF
the postal plant, a total of 10000
post Offices must be modernized
or replaced due to lack of space
and ObsOlescence."
Adding further details concern
ing postal service today. he noted
that, "our more than $4,000 post
offices are handling a total of 63
billion pieces of letter mail and
parcel post annually. This is an
all-time record and an increase
of more than "a per cent above
the approximately so billion pieces
handled annually only 10 years
ago."
He pointed out that the postal
facility to be built in Houston is
typical of many others going up
elsewhere throughout the country.
These new post offices" he said,
contain not only the modern pa
tron-service counters and eye-sav-
ing fiuorescent lighting, but pro-
vision is made for patron service
after regular business hours"
The Postmaster General also
pointed out that the new post Of
fee in Houston, one of 1902 new
post Offices to be built within the
next year, will remain under pri-
vate ownership while rented to
the Federal Government, an d
hence will pay local real estate
taxes to bear it's share of the cost
of local government.

BABSON DISCUSSES SAVING

savings and loan associations are
at an all-time high. Savings In the
form of life insurance - including
endOWments and annuities also
continue to increase to new record
levels. These, of course, are Old
stand-bys for savings. Today more
people are funneling savings into
real estate and the stock market, -
either directly, or indirectly thro-
ugh the purchase of Mutual Invest
ment Trust shares.
Guard Your Nest Egg
/ am not worried about those
people who have a fair proportion
of their savings in bank deposits
and government bonds. | am, how
ever, fearful for the neophites who
are attempting to get rich quick
in real estate or the stock market.
These people too often neglect to
build up first cushion of cash re-
serves. The decline of over a hum
dred points in the stock market
this year, and the laggard real
estate market, show that investing
is not a one-way affair -. always
going up. Market declines are a
natural occurrence, and they can
hurt those who invest indirectly
through the various Funds as well
as those who do their own buying
of stocks, real estate, ect.
In view of the uncertain world
conditions and domestic business
maldjustments, my advice is to
build up cash reserves and wait
patiently for real bargain invest
ment opportunities. Your thrift
ness = not that of the politicians -
is the hope for healthy business.

THRIFT which, in the long run,
will promote sound business grow
th and hold down initiation.
What About Savings?
At the present time, the rate of
individual savings has been in
creased to over $25 billion a year.
This is almost 81 billion more
than people saved in the 1858 re-
cession< year, and almost 81 billion
more than they put away last year.
In addition, by easing up on bank
borrowings and whiting down
their outstanding loans, consumers
have held the inflationary rise of
consumer debt in check.
The task of saving today is made
easier by the record level of per-
sonal income. However, this in
crease in income presents also a
strong inducement to indiscrimi-
nate spending. Hence, the fact that
consumers have voluntarily chosen
to put aside more money for the
future makes me more optimistic
on the future of this country
Putting Savings To Work
In recent years, the low interest
rate on savings bonds has disc6ur-
aged saving via that sector. In fact,
many people have been cashing in
such bonds. At long last the Gov
eminent has raised the interest
rate on these bonds to make them
competitive with other savings
media; so it may be that savings
will again be put into government
savings bonds.

Dear Friends:
They're a special brand of peo-
ple-these Sunday School teach

from one brave soul who invited
us to bring our new two year old
to Sunday School beginning yes
terday / was dying to see how
they could corral Leslie and
teach her even Jesus Loves Me. "
| stayed for the hour and our lit
tie curly headed mischievious one
came out singing to the top of her
lungs, "Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one "hoss" open sleigh" She
had a grand time climbing on the
stage, writing on the blackboard
pushing the giant size choo choo
riding the rocking horses and
watching other little ones her own
age. 1t seemed most successful
even for such a little girl and we
shall try it again.
After we returned home Sun
day we left almost Immediately
| for Bennington, Kansas. We have
good friends in the service here
at Forbes whose home is in this
small town, eleven miles north OF
Salina, Kansas. Lynne avoids long
rides in cars and offered to stay
home with Leslie, so only Hayes
Dawn and / went Kansas is not
i lovely state for scenery if you
are spoiled like we Delawareans
are, but the countryside is inter
esting with it's hills reaching high
in the air They seem to be cut
off even at the top by the severe
winds for which the Kansas
plains are so famous. Cattle and
sheep were everywhere on the
range, and ranches were few and
| far between. Bennington looked
like Lincoln to me and like Fred
erica to Hayes. Our friends had
said the local antique shop might
prove interesting. The window
showed only second hand articles
but often it's little shops like this
where you find goodies" The ma
tives were friendly-and ouI
friends thought nothing of taking
