Interest rates abroad recently
have declined and rates here
have stopped declining. The
President said he will work for
cooperation with foreign mon
etary authorities, presumably
to persuade them not to let
their Short-term interest rates
rise too high.
The basic requirement for
economic strength abroad is
economic progress ct home. he
said.
He told Congress today that
I'VE must place maximum en-
phasis on expanding our ex-
ports" He said costs and prices
must be kept low 50 that Amer.
lean goods can compete on
world markets. and added that
the Government must help en-
large export markets.
Protection Planned
In the drive to increase 'ex.
ports, the President said, the
Commerce and State Depart
ments will step up promotion
activities. and the Export-Im-
port Bank win devise programs
to liberalize credit for financ-
ing exports. He said the United
States will continue to negOti-
ate for reduction of quotas and
other barriers to American cx-
ports.
Labor and management. he
continued, must do their part
by improving productivity, sta
bilizing or lowering prices, cut
ting costs, pursuing sound
wage policies" and producing
superior products.
Exports Of farm products will
receive special attention, he
added.

DECD also would provide q
solid framework" for consul
tation about interest rates and
other matters. the President
said.

defense costs.
Negotiations in these areas
started during the Eisenhower
administration and are con-

Fear Of devaluation hal
caused some foreign govern.
ments and banks to unload
their dollar holdings by pur-

have been buying gold in the
hope Its dollar value will rise
Attacking the i'm m e ediatG
problem, President Kennedy
today renewed his pledge that
the United States viii not de.
value the dollar. Aside from.
other considerations, he said
devaluation is unnecessary be-
cause the United States hal
ample gold reserves available
to meet demands from holders
Of dollars.
He noted that the Govern
ment owns $l7.5 billion worth oi
gold, even after the drain Of re-
cent years. About $l1.5 billion
Of this total now is set aside Al
backing for the currency and
so cannot be used to meet for.
eign demands for gold. But the
President said this set-aSidC
can and will be suspended II
ne ceSSary to meet claims
against the dollar.
Reserves Available
In addition, he said, the
United States can and will Il
necessary draw upon its al
billion quota Of reserves held
by the International Monetary
Fund. And he observed thai
the United States and its citi-
zens have large assets abroad
to supplement liquid reserves
MIR. Kennedy noted that the
payments deficit totaled $3.s
billion in 1858, 93.S billion ir
1869 and $3.S billion in 1850
The loss Of gold in those three
years totaled $4.7 billion, and
foreign dollar holdings-poten.
tial claims against United
States gold-totaled $6.4 bill
lion.
This Is how the 1850 deficit
came about:
The United States exported
goods and services worth $20.s
billion and imported $21.l bill
lion worth. leaving 0 surplus
Of $5.S billion.
But this surplus was more
than offset by outlays Of $2.e
billion for economic aid. 50 bill
lion for overseas military ex-
penditures, S2.1 billion for long
term private investment and
$2.3 billion for Short-term pri-
vate investment.
The $40 billion total Of these
items was reduced to $9.6 bill
lion by statistical correction.
Subtracting the $5.S billion
trade surplus from the sos bill
lion Of outlayS left o deficit OF
S3.8 billion.
Foreigners held 92.l billion
Of this $3.8 billion In dollars,
and converted the other 3l.7
billion into gold.
Mr.. Kennedy said the basic
deficit" was SIS billion, not
$3.8 billion. He arrived at the
SIS billion figure by tossing
out the $2.3 billion Of short
term private investment, ex-
planning that movements OF
Short-term capital are quickly
reversible. That Is, he expects
short-term funds to come back
to the United States when in

Time for Decision

"Forethought" and decision"
are the order of the day. The
suggestion to create a State
Planning Department and the
formation of other groups to
guide Delaware's future does
little to ease the immediate
problems of this area. Action on
Shell Oil Company's petition to
rezone the "Deakyneville" area
for heavy industry will set the
industrial climate for the state
for years to come. Unfavorable
action would freeze economic
development. To initiate such a
department would take time
and "the hour in Delaware is
late"
Our concern for the longer
future causes us to lend support
to the creation of such a COM
mission but also to voice our
present decision on reZoning for
Shell in the affirmative.
Any reasonable planning must
consider lower New Castle and
Kent Counties as industrial
areas. The proposed Shell site is
suited for heavy industry-little
else. Only 20 per cent is now be-
ing farmed and as for recrea-
tional development, it would
prove a financial impossibility.
Shell would be a powerful
force for advancing our economy
providing jobs for our grow
ing labor force, Strengthening
our educational system and i'm
proving our living standards.
The opportunities and respon-
sibilitieS which confront us are
great. These we must accept for
the betterment of society-to
provide better opportunity for
all.

Letters to the Editor

Editor of the Smyrna Times
Smyrna Times Office
Commerce Street
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Editor:
This letter is in reply to the
half page ad in two local pap
ers on June Is, by the commit
tee opposing the re-zoning of
the land for Shell Oil.
The first item-creating odor!
The odor that would be created
by an oil refinery probably
wouldn't be any worse than the
odor the people now have from
the marches and swamps.
Item two-As far as the con-
tamination of water and air,
there has been oil in the Della
ware River for 80 years. The
water and air, after the proper
filters and channel dredging,
which would be required for
ships, the water could not be
any dirtier and would most
likely be cleaner. The same goes
for the publication of air.
Item three-tax revenue as
stated by this organization
County and school taxes would
be 100000 yearly which is prob
ably 10 times what is now be-
ing collected from that section
of land. This would be big
help in paying off present bonds
in both county and schools.
Item four-Roads. AS far as
the development of highways,
they state that $500,000 would
be needed to replace the roads,
At the present time, to put the
roads in usable condition, they
would need $250,000 plus in
stalling a new bridge which has
been out for two or three years
Some people have to drive as
many as 5 miles to get a few
hundred feet. 1t not only would
help the present roads but
would also bring more gas taz
to this part of the state by the
employees equipment used BY
the Shell refinery both in con.
struction and operation.
Item five-The employment
picture on construction. i
should employ from 1000 tt
$500 people; 75eo of then
would probably be Delawareans
In the operation employment
Tidewater, in their plant EN-
pIoyed all local help available
and are still training local peo.
Pile in operation.
Item six-Hunting, fishing
and recreation. The majority o1
the property available for hunt
ing can only be used by people
Smyrna times., 1961-06-22

who have plenty of time for
hunting or people belonging to
some organization because 900
of the property is not available
for hunting by individuals. AS
far as fishing, it shouldn't hurt
it because there has never been
excessive fishing in this area
or at least not for years. Re-
creation-There are no beaches
and if there were you could
not go swimming because the
land is overrun with millions of
flys and mosquitoes.
They also explain Governor
CarvePs long range planning.
In the last As years, this area
has lost two plants by being
opposed to them. How long a
range plan do they need. The
people of Delaware need en-
ployment in the 6O'S-not al
ter the year 1000 because
won't be here to enjoy it. With
this final note, | think we
should get off of the merry-go.

and re-zone this property fol-

The Editor
Smyrna Times
Dear Sir:
From a Letter to the editor by
James P. Buckson appearing in
various papers recently, | find
that l am classified as a dis
senter" because l do not favor
the building of an oil refinery
in Blackbird Hundred. These
dissenters quote "have opposed
all progress" and usually try
to win public support by max
| ing ridiculous assumptions and
conjecture" Consid e ing the
high type of loyal Delawareans,
including Governor Carvel, thus
classified renders this classifi-
cation itself ridiculous to the
extent that it will not be digni-
fled by further comment.
After attempting to analyze
the refinery problem logically
and fairly, / can surely recog-
nize both advantages and dis
advantages, and in my mind,
the solution resolves itself
rather simply. 1t is a mater of
determining the things each one
of us finds most essential and
satisfying in his environment to
living full life, and most
worthy of passing on to the
generations to come who are
completely dependant upon the
wisdom of our decisions today.
These decisions are, of course,
a matter of personal values.
My parents were Delawareans
with a creditable record of civ
ic pride and achievement, and
most surely l have the greatest
affection for my State. After
each trip to the Philadelphia
area, l experience real sense
of elation and gratitude upon
leaving the industrial conges-
ton from Wilmington north
ward to be again enjoying the
freshness of the air in the kind
of countryside that means Del
aware to me.
Being of this disposition, /
surely dislike the thought of a
succession of oil refineries and
Ir e | a t e d industrial complexes
down the shore of the Delaware
Bay. Naturally, the advent of
Shell would not guarantee that
refineries will line the bay shore,
so let us apply logic at this
point.
l. A series of refineries will
not suddenly appear.
2. If a series of refineries is
to appear over a period of years
it is logical to assume that they,
will appear one at a time.
3. One refinery, Tidewater,
has appeared, another, Shell,
now looms on the horizon. Sim
clair has an oil project planned.
1t is reported that additional
lands on the shore are under
option to unknown interests.
4. 1t is thus evident that the
above facts establish an ire
futable pattern of what may
be expected over the years.
So it seems to me the ques-
ton is how Delawareans feel
about the likelihood of an in
dustrialized bay shore.
In recapitulation, the extent
of future refineries on the bay
is naturally unknown. The pat
now very positively established.
Right now is the time to re-
solve the question of which way
is Delaware to move.
! We have an admirable State,
but it is so small. For the sake
of posterity, let us exercise the
lgreatest care and be devotedly
critical in the use we make of
every square foot of our wond-
erful real estate.
! Yours truly,
RICHARD c. PRICE
