hard-corps Communists In
their countries quiet and will
ing to go along with them.
Also, some Of the Latin
American politicians have be-
come accustomed to using the
United States as a whipping
boy, complaining that the
Colossus of the North has
been responsible for whatever
troubles their countries have
experienced domeStically. 1t
has been easy to whip up
resentment in some of these
countries against the United
States. Now these politicians
are called upon to reverse the
field-to join with the United
States in getting rid of Cas-
tro, who has been represented
to their countrymen as a lib
orator Of Cuba and an oppo-
nent Of the United States. It
may be a bitter pill for them
to swallow.
Believe People Friendly
There is belief here in
Washington, however, that
the peoples of the Latin
American nations, in major
ity, are friendly to this coun-
try. Also, that most of their
leaders, when confronted
Squarely with deciding be-
tween the United States and
the Communist bloc, will cast
their lot with this country.
They have learned over the
years that the United States
is not out to take over more
territory, that it is not out
to dominate their govern
mentS. They have observed
how Soviet Russia and Red
China have dominated with
an iron hand the countries
which have come under Com
muniSt rule in Eastern Eu-
rope, the Baltic states and in
Asia and to some degree in
Africa. These Latin Ameri-
can leaders are unlikely to
wish that kind of domination
of their own countries. They
have been proud of their free
dom, which they wreSted
from Spain and Portugal in
the past.
In addition, there no longer
can be any doubt in the
minds of the leaders of
Latin American countries
that the Castro government
is Communist dominated and
Castro a mere tool of the
Kremlin. He has done Khru-
Shchev'S bidding. He has had
arms and economic aid from
Russia and CZechoSlovakia,
and military experts to train
his men from both Russia
and China. The war of exter-
mination which Castro has
waged and is now waging
against his opponents in
Cuba has all the earmarKs
of the Communist practice in
conquered countries. In the
two years and more since Cas-
tro and his rebel forces drove
Dictator Batista and his gov
ernment out of Cuba, prom
iSing freedom to the Cuban
and a democratic govern
ment, Castro has never per-
mitted a free election-or an
election of any kind.
Undoubtedly there is a
number of would-be Castros
in other Latin American
countries, who would be will
ing to accept the Communist
role and Communist aid if
they could have the same
dictatorial powers. The people
of these nations still have
time, if they will, to fight off
such a fate. The time, how
ever, is growing shorter.
President Kennedy now has
pointed the way and offered
the necessary leadership in
this fight to keep the Western
Hemisphere free.

THE POLITICAL MILL
No Middle Road for Americas
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The people Of the Latin
American countries have now
been brought face to face
with the hard facts Of inter-
national life by President
Kennedy. And so have the
people of the United States.
Both must be prepared to act
to halt the spread of COM
munism in the Western Hem
isphere or be prepared to
accept the inevitability Of
Communist world control
which Khrushchev breaches.
Mr.. Kennedy has put the
matter bluntly to them, tell
ing the Latin Americans that
he is not relinquishing Cuba
to Communist Castro domin-
alton and virtually asking
them to go along with him
and the United States to
fight communism in Cuba,
and anywhere in this half Of
the world it may raise its
head. To the people of the
United States, he has just as
bluntly said he and this Gov
ernment will act unilaterally
by itself if necessary to
preserve the security of this
country.
The people of the United
States will go along with Mr..
Kennedy. The peoples of the
Latin American nations and
their leaders must make up
their minds which side they
are going to back. Neutrality
will get them nowhere in this
conflict. Naturally, the hope
Of the Kennedy administra-
ton, and of the American
people, is that these Latin
Americans will side with us
all the way. The choice may
soon be up to the Latin
Americans in a very practical
way. The expectation is that
the United Nations will vote
to turn the Cuban problem
over to the OAS-the Organ
ization of American States,
of which the Latin American
nations and the United States
are members. In 1854 the late
John Foster Dulles, at an
OAS meeting in Caracas, OBJ
tained the signing of an
agreement which put these
nations on the anti-Commu-
mist line clearly and effec-
lively. 1t remains to be seen
whether they live up to this
agreement.
Dispute Put to U.N.
If and when the United
Nations refers the differ
ences between the United
States and Cuba to the OAS
this issue will be joined. Cas-
tro's Cuban government has
declared that it will not ac-
cept any such action by the
UN, although it is strictly
an American affair. Last
night the UN Political Com
mittee Endorsed a resolution
proposed by seven Latin
American nations to have
the charges by Cuba and its
Communist bloc allies, that
the United States has COM
mitted aggression against
Cuba, referred to the OAS.
1t also by a close vote ap-
proved a Mexican resolution
which would ban all aid to
the Cuban rebels against
Castro. This last proposal is
an indication of the disunity
among the American nations
themselves, and a further
evidence of the unwillingness
of some of the Latin Amer
ican leaders to come to grips
with the Communist threat
and even with the infiltra-
ton of Communists and their
cells into their own countries.
These politicians have pre-
ferred to play both sides OF

EDITORIAL COMMENT
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK GOOD
WITH PROPER LEADERSHIP

Those who say that this will newt
ABLY be the fate here have overlooked
several important facts. Holmes County,
Just as any other predominantly agrl-
cultural area has to adjust to the times.
Fortunately, area leaders have realized
that powerful forces at work, includ-
ing increased mechanization and tech
biological development, have meant that
if an area is TO maintain a sound eco
nomy Encouragement of its revenue
producing facilities is essential.
The one crop cotton economy OF the
1905 upon which the entire welfare
of the county depended no longer gov
ems the prosperity of the area. DiverSi-
fication has aided the farmer in more
ways than one. New types of production
in the form of livestock and forestry, to
name only two. have insured a more
profitable agricultural system and there
by a more stable economy.
Additions of potentially immense in
dustrieS within the borders of the
county have meant more jobs for more
people. Durant, of course, stands as
the shining example of a own that has
enjoyed progressive type of leadership
which realized the assets of more in
dustrial job opportunities.
We are told that location, resources
and labor supply, are the prime attract
ions for prospective new businesses.
Certainly, Holmes County possesses each
of these. In addition, cotton which has
always been the biggest source of reve-
nue. for the county, is gaining increas-
ing importance as foreign exports con-
tinue to climb.
z Despite the changes which have been
necessary due to revolutions in the agri-
cultural field, Holmes County appears
to be headed for the greatest prosperity
ever. To attain this sought after goal,
however, we must produce leaders with
positive outlooks who are dedicated to
the continued growth of the area.
Holmes County herald., 1961-02-23

Editors note-Following is the first OF
a series of editorials dealing with the
years ahead in Holmes County. his
article discusses the economic future or
the area.
Karl Marx said that economics de-
termine the entire flow of history. Most
of today'S theorists would hold that
although this matter of economics is an
important one, there are many other
factors which are just as significant in
determining the courses which the
societies of the world will follow. Re-
gardIeSS, however, of what the great
thinkers may maintain, we are all
vitality concerned with the abundance
and exchange of money. People tend
to leave an area where the economy is
on the decline. They know that they
may enjoy a better way of life and
more prosperity, elsewhere.
Some individuals will paint a dim
picture of the future economy in
Holmes County. They point out such
things as a decline in population, in
creased mechanization which has created
a plight for the small farmer, and an
apparent failure to create new job OPP
p%ortunitieS.
Much of what they say makes sense.
We have all seen the annihilated city,
the so-called ghost city, or the rapidly
declining town or section which is the
result of the disappearance of business
activity, whether sudden or gradual,
and the failure to replace it. Buildings
are allowed to decay, no new housing
is constructed. Declining communities
have a characteristically "mean" drab,
or slummy appearance. A vast apathy
hangs over the declining town; the
young people move away, and the older
people who remain seem to be without
energy or hope. 1t is a situation which
none of us would want to occur in
Holmes County.

Farmers Reminded
To Release Acreage

Farmers who do not plan
to plant all or part of their

said today. Such acreage
must be released on or be-
fore the deadline, which Is
April /. 1861.
A farmer who plans to
plant at least 7 percent &C

farmer who fails to plant 2.
least rs percent of his 1851
allotment will find his cot
ton allotment will be reduced

the unused part of his 1861
allotment to the ASC county
committee.
BY releasing the unuse1

Threads of Gold

Threads of Gold
Days are funny things
some are lean and dry like
a thin, washed out bar of
soap, a lank dish rag, used
to wipe the cook stove.
Have you ever said, I'll be
glad when this day is over,
and a new day dawns?
Some days are like pen
ned animals, eager to be free,
but hobbled an tanned for no
reason that it can see. Could
your day be more like a
trapped rat, the freed o'pos-
sum, the hunted fox, or the
poor old hen, who has loe.
her feathers out of season?
We all have days that seem
to be turned cross-ways, with
ragged, snippy edges all
around. Thank goodness that
the ruffled cross patch days
are few and far between in
most of our lives.
There are days that make
us happy, there are days that
make us blue, yes, l too love
those that bring the sunshine,
such days are golden threads
running through the somber
cloth of life.
Cheer up, for better days
are coming like the beauty
in the smile of your baby
A day that is a pearl held il
the secret heart of you alone.
Or could you use a day in
your life as lovely as the
sudden shining through Of the
setting sun, when the west
ern skies are dull and dreary.
How we love a day that is
quiet and peaceful, as graci-
Gus as the moment in the
little church just before the
minister pronounces the
benediction. What a stiffness
as he says "And now may
the peace and goodness th2t
passes all understanding, BE
with you and yours during
the coming week"
