rolls Of the federal government. BY way
Of contrast the TT adds, the proportion
Of a century ago was only one of every
292 Of the countrys total of wage and
salary earners. But government then,
like the nations economy still had
pioneer simplicity.
However. by no means all Of the
Washington spending machines giant
growth since 1860 reflects the compli-
Gated diversity Of the nations economy
A great deal Of the expansion is the re-
suit of pell-meling to the national cap
ital with our problems, needs and
greeds. Strong pressure groups have
arisen which make it a year-around
business to latch onto every possible dol
lar Of the tax revenues, And so our COM
paratively simple government of even

Foundation reports, of 10 regular de-
partments and in addition, 26 commits

reaus 651 divisions and ITO offices.
What scope that jungle of bureau
cracv presents for overlapping activi-
ties, Implications, politicking and waste.
And all have been found in measure
which the Hoover Study Commissions

Many have been corrected. Many have

cleanliness Of Farmville known far

summer because of the many trees
which shade the waIkWays in the re-

lawns and premises Of the residents.
Farmville people take d pride in keep
ing their premises attractive in the

in the fall have been removed from the
streets and the premises. In the business

L. Y. Needs Help

NOW comes word from Dag Ham
marsk.i old that the United Nations
treasury is busted. He says the n. L.
needs S20000,000 before the end of the
year or it will be forced to abandon
its responsibilities in the Congo.
Russia, of course. putting pressure
on Hammarskiold and the United Ma

the Santa Claus of the [. n. has been
footing about fifty percent Of the Con-
90 bill = with the other nations of the
world providing the other half.
The United States is facing a severe
drain on its gold reserves. and is hay
ing to order dependents of service men
overseas home to save money and
lessen the flow Of dollars from this
country abroad.
Under these circumstances, it would
certainly seem that some of the other
nations of the world could provide the
necessary operating funds for the L.
n. in this crisis. If they do not. then the

: witness the recent beating Of L. S.
officials in the Congo. We have done
more than our fair share already in
almost every L. N. operation. 1t was
the United States which almost single
handedly saved South Korea, in blood
and money.
If the other countries Of the world
cannot contribute enough to make up
the gap by stopping Of Russian con
tributions, then the communists should
be expelled from the Z. n. and it should
be transformed into freeworld mill

ance.
Cleanliness is the result Of pride -
pride which must be inculcated into the
minds and beings Of all of its citizens.
Throwing paper or Wrapplngs in the
street, failure to sweep sidewalks, al
lowing debris to gather in the corners,
etc add to the problem of maintaining
cleanliness, and incidently, adds to the
danger Of fires.
We suggest that an inspection of all
premises in Farmville be made by each
individual and general Fall Cleanup
campaign be made voluntarily. We feel
sure the sanitation department will be
glad to cooperate by removing all de-
bris when collected.

blessing, no one knows. It seems
he is destined to be assassinated
BIZ someone whose family he has
ruined.
On the other hand, investors
should realize that the whole
world is passing through level
ing process wherein those who
have not are gradually taking
away from those who have. In
Russia and her satellite coun-
tries, this has been done by ruth
less stealing of property. In
China. goodwill is appropriated,
but Mao has sometimes made
payment. on his own terms, for
actual property taken. Great
Britain has experimental with
naturalization, and payment has
been made for the coal mines,
steel companies. railroads, and
public utilities that were taken
over.
In these United States, the
labor leaders have the same
goals. but they work through
strikes and unfair demands. In
all countries. investors are being
attacked either by heavy taxation
or by guerrilla warfare such as
is taking place in Africa. Hence,
we investors in the U. S. should
be especially on the watch. With
only six per cent of the people of
this world, we have nearly half
OF the worlds wealth. Can this
condition always continue? The
leveling trend has been going on
for centuries. Though I am still
hopeful as to Cuba, yet let us
keep in mind this world trend.

BabsonDiscusses Cuba

BABSON PARK. MASS. Dec.
l = The Cuban situation has
reached a point where it is
affecting certain investments.
Therefore. I feel that my readers
are due an impartial summary of
the situation. / have always
watched Cuba critically as it is
SO close to Florida, where have
spent over thirty winters.
Influence of the Catholic Church
l feel that the Cuban situation
will come out satisfactorily due
to the influence of the Catholic
Church. The Cuban people, with
their Spanish blood, are emotion
al and enjoy political and physi-
cal fight. They. however, are
deeply Roman Catholic in faith.
Hence, there is church safe
guard which does not exist in
Russia or in many Of her satel-
lites.
Importance of Marketability
Cuba is rich in soil, rainfall.
sunshine. ard warm tempera-
lures. 1t could be the gardenspot
of the Americas; but it has been
cursed by wretched and unjust
government. Castro thinks it
necessary only to nationalize the
farms, businesses, banks, and
the few manufacturing establish
ments: he seems to give no
thought to marketing. Cuba's
wonderful productive conditions
are of no use if her products can
not be marketed. Cuba's natural
market is the United States

same trading principle is true for
the countries of Central America,
and even South America: they
have the land but lack the mar
ketlng facilities for their fruits,
coffee. and even minerals, in
GLIDING oil.
This is another reason why l
feel investors should have the
larger proportion of their com
mon stocks in marketing rather
than in farming, mining, or
manufacturing propositions.
Whatever the future may bring
as to the ownership Of land or
the production of crops or the
extraction Of minerals and oil,
here should always be a field
for companies engaged in the
marketing Of these products.
This applies to the big concerns
such as Sears Roebuck, Mong-
gomery Ward, etc; but especi-
ally to the large variety chains,
with their stores in all fifty states
of the Union. Even in case of
World War III these great mar
getting organizations might come
through the best of all concerned.

Black Senior Justice
Black. who has been on the
court % years. is senior Justice
in point of service.
The high bench is now made
up OF three men appointed by
Roosevelt; one by President
Harry S Truman: and five by
President Eisenhower. Five are
Democrats and four are Repub-
licans.
On the matter of the high
courts function in American
government, Black and Frank
furter head opposing schools of
thought. The replacement of
either by some one on the other
side Of the fence could have an
important impact on the courts
future.
Frankfurter is an apostle Of
judicial restraint" He keeps
a tight rein on his feeling about
the wisdom Of a challenged law
and votes with great reluctance
to strike i down as unconstitu-
tional.
Black. on the other hand,
wants the court to be a dynamic
force in the nations life.
Blacks view is most often
shared by Dougla al S. another
Roosevelt appointee who has
been on the court almost as long
since 1889. Now 81, Douglas
could retire on Oct. Is, 1868, his
