Construction Underway On
New Bonneville Packing Plant
Construction work has started
at Bonneville on a "a, 000-square-
foot plant for the American
Packing Company. 1t is hoped
that the plant will be in pro-
duction by midsummer. Basic
operations of the plant will be
the buying, processing and pack
ing of sliced smoked ham and
beef. Ready-to-serve meats will
be packaged in polyethylene
bags. At first the plant will
handle only beef and pork, but
it may expand to other products
later. Approximately 100 men
will be employed. y

HOW GENEROUS IS
FoHEIGN AID?
A scattering OF dollars all over
the world, a process in which
Americans have been engaging
for 20 years. proves that we
are undoubtedly history's most
generous people. Besides travel
ing over the globe for pleasure
and business, spending literally
all the while, we have bought,
freely from foreign good avail
able at home. Also, even while
paying much Of the bill for pro-
tecting the free world, we have
Willingly made our treasure
available for foreign aid"
II is bitter truth, unfortunately,
that although we have given
away many scores Of billions,
this generosity has not always
served good purposes. Wide-eyed,
idealistic and eager, we have
wanted to make the "have-not'''
nations our friends. We have
wanted to help raise standards
Of living abroad by teaching
other peoples what we know
best: how to produce. We have
made frequent mistakes, seeking
sometimes to stimulate impracti-
cal means. Only rarely have we
made lasting friendships through
foreign aid"
Foolish Peple?
We may now be in danger of
becoming history's most foolish
people. AT a time when the
economy of some Of the foreign
nations we propose to aid is more
stable than our own. we talk of
increasing this kind of expendi-
ture in our proposed $81 billion
budget. The outgoing admin
istration warned of the dangers
of our gold outflow, but it never
theless recommended increasing
foreign and.
Fh -, - 49, -
This policy contradiction illus
trated the dilemma we are fac
ing. We want to keep helping
nations who need help but we
must plug the holes from which
our gold pours into other coun-
tries. A cautious and reduced
aid program would help slow
our loss of gold, yet we must
keep spending in an effort to halt
the march of Communism where
such spending shows any hope
of effective results. The question
we now must face is whether
the $2s5 billion might help them
more in the long run if stricken
entirely from the budget.
Is Moscow Laughing?
Reducing foreign aid, there
fore, may now be the most gen.
erous policy, perhaps even the
best thing we can do for our
friends and allies. II our own
economy should be pressed to
the breaking point, our neighbors
will go down with us. That is
why Congress must exercise
careful oversight of foreign
spending, analyzing carefully all
requests for sending dollars
abroad according to, patterns to
which we have almost grown
accustomed.
Congress may soon realize that
the most generous kindness we
can offer is a sound dollar, pro-
tected against Communist on
slaughts designed to wreck our
currency. Moscow is probably
laughing at our frantic scurrying
about to save our gold. Russia
is one Of the nations richest in
this metal, but even she has had
little trouble in getting dollars to
use TOR nefarious purposes, so

phere this will be desirable-what do
we consider worthwhile and attain
able detectives? We know what the
Russians want. Do we know what
we want?
Before we proceed helter-skelter to
a conference table with Mr.. Khrush-
chew might we not, at least, draw up
a minimum program? AS a starting
point should we insist that freedom
of travel and communication be re-
stored inside Berlin? We might even
suggest that not only West Berlin,
but all Soviet-held territory west of
Berlin, be incorporated into the Fed
eral Republic. Then there is no prob
lem of access.
And, of course, as long-range OBJ
jective we might start thinking in
terms of restoring free elections in
united Germany, which could become
a bastion of freedom in middle
Europe.
Except for the latter, these are
limited objectives. But if we cannot
achieve these goals there is little to
do except insist on the status quo
before the barbed wire barricades and
the cement curtain went up between
West and East Berlin.
Could this mean war? Yes. it could.
De Gaulle faces up to this reality,
but he is equally realistic in asserting
that if war comes it win be because
of hox Io1s
ately." If the Russian leaders really
want war, there is no way to appease
them except surrender.

What did we do? First the Presi-
dent assured the nation we were in

week we expressed ''hope" that the
Soviets would quit misbehaving and
gave them a deadline. Finally we an
bounced our intention to begin under
ground testing, with hints that we
hall be obliged to resume above
round tests in the near future.
De Gaulle did it differently. He
made no virtuous remarks about
noral responsibility. He made no
romise about testing. He saw no

on what obviously had been long

De Gaulle, we have been told, is

for which we might

THE OLD MASTER


Of all the chiefs of state in the
Western world, Gen. Charles de
Gaulle of France seems the calmest,
most analytic and realistic in his
appraisal of the arbitrary and arti-
ficial' crisis of Berlin created by
Nikiti Khrushchev, the undertaking
peace-lover.
1t might be of value for our own
leaders to listen attentively to de
Gaulle's statements during this crisis.
There is much to learn from the tao
tics he uses rather than to continue
the hit-and-miss formula that char
acterizes both the British and the
U. S. in this increasingly grave stu
alton.
The language of deGaulle's recent
press conference reads almost like a
primer on how to handle totalitarian
tyrants in the face of continued prov
ocation.
In the matter of world tensions
deGaulle, of course, is not a new
conner.
During World War III some French
men adopted safety-first as their ma
tional credo and the Vichyites saw
Hitlerism as the wave of the future.
But it was De Gualle who demon
strated the capacity for courage and
competence in dealing with DULLES
and terrorists.
| am not suggesting that this auto
matically endows him with perfec-
ton or that his wisdom is infallible.
But his behavior has been in marked
contrast to the rudderless American
approach evident since President
Kennedy went to Vienna to meet
Khrushchev.
De Gaulle keeps his eye on the ball.
He makes no lofty pretensions. He
does not engage in political fantasy.
Two examples illustrate the differ
ence between the de Gaulle approach
and the Anglo-American: CD the
matter of Berlin negotiations (2) our
position in relation to nuclear test
ing.
WHAT ARE WE NEGOTIATING?
There has been lot of mumbo-
jumbo among the diplomats about
sitting down to negotiate the "prob-
lem" of Berlin. The self-styled "neu-
tralists' are urging that we proceed
at once to the conference table.
1t sounds very reasonable until you
get down to details. What is the
problem of Berlin? Is it real or,
as De Gaulle suggests, srnokescreen
camouflaging turmoil behind the Iron
Curtain?
Let's assume that, for the moment
there really is a Berlin problem. 1t
would seem good idea to define it.
Is the problem" the presence of
RIAS, the free Radio in the American
Sector? Is it the behavior of German
'militarists and revenge-seekers" as
the Soviets claim? Or is it that mil
lions in the Eastern Zone have in
discovered how unattrac-
tive the Soviet version of Utopia can
be and consequently want their free
1om?

took an additional 100000
from the capital improvement

Board Chairman Anne Will

board would have to have the

have to be paid. Mr.. Leigh's
motion was approved, 4-3, with

Mrs. Wilkins urged the board
to replace some of the funds in

not gain support.

the tax rate be set at So, and
the motion was approved, So,

Moss opposing it.
