medium-priced hotels. The next
was Plana on the Sea, which is
rapidly developing somewhat like
our New York Coney Island. The
next point of interest is Lloret de
Mar. These places are old towns
with very narrow streets, while
the sandy beaches for summing and
bathing are superb. All these
places have numerous hotels at
all prices.
A fourth place of interest is
Tossa by the Sea. This place is
more expensive than the others
and DOW appeals only to gay young
people who want to battle or lie
in the sun all day ard dance all
night! Furthermore, the highway
between Lloret and Tossa is very
winding, with over 20 dangerous
hairpin turns. Those going from
Barcelona to Tossa or beyond
should take the electric railway
and avoid these hairpin curves
with great high cliffs on one side
and 1.O00-foot drops on the other
WHAT LAND TO BUY
Now for the final and most i'm
portant reason why | think good
money could be made east of Bar
celona by those who are willing
to go there and live for a month
and look carefully about Here
are three simple rules to follows:
"a Buy well-drained farm land
between the highway and the ocean
even if it is bisected by the cleo
trio railway. Insist that your
land go down to the ocean. (2)
Buy land now cultivated so that
the rent which some reliabale far
mer will pay you will take care of
the taxes. CD Be sure your title
is good, which means buy it
through some reliable local bank
er or real estate agent These
rules apply to buying land for
speculation in all of the above
countries.
You will soon realize that situ
ations exist for profit which l
have not found in the suburbs of
any large city in the world. From
the time you leave San Pedro you
will find small farms located all
along the line adjoining good res
licences. | cannot give you prices
per acre because equally good pro-
ducing soil appears to sell at en-
tirely different prices. You must
check UP on a large number of
such farm plots and then buy the
cheapest; but insist on the above
three conditions and, of course,
get your land in a good neighbor-
hood with good neighbors. This
you can do only by living for one
month between San Pedro and
Lloret by the Sea.

GRADUATES, WHAT NOW?


The young people of our area who have
almost completed their formal education in
the year 1861 should not make the mistake
of assuming that they know enough. They
have only begun to learn!
What students receive in school, in terms
of learning how to read, study and think for
themselves, is more important than the sub
ject that passed into their brains. If. in the
process of acquiring a diploma, one has
glimpsed the tremendous spread of human
information and realized that what has
been studied is the merest fraction of what
is thus known, then the way is open for the
individual to proceed intellectually.
One of the best aids to wisdom is the
reading of the printed word. 1t brings to
mankind the thoughts and ideals of the past,
gives facts and trends, points the way to
prophecy and understanding and permits
those who live to profit by the experience
of those who have passed into the great be-
yond.
Millions of American students, about
ready to graduate, are entering a world
which is somewhat confusing, and, we be-
lieve, more confusing than that which has
faced graduates in many of the years of our
recent rast.
1t seems necessary, in these times, for
the graduates of 1861 to bear in mind the
simple truth and basic principles which
have made our country great The story of
Americas rise to power and riches is one of
a willingness to work, a love of freedom and
independence and faith in God and relig-
ious freedom,
Most of us have read "the truth shall
make you free" 1t is even so, but the free
dom is not to be found in the elimination of
material factors that enslave human beings.
1t is to come from spiritual triumph that
belongs only to those who understand the
world, the eternal principles, and live in
accordance with the laws discovered and ac-
cepted by the individual
We would, of course, caution the young
people that they cannot believe, without in
telligent inquiry, everything that they read.
Printing has been great aid to the ad-
vancement of knowledge, but it is also a
means by which error can be perpetrated
and maintained. The honest seeker for truth
will be known by the questions raised, the
sincere study of existing facts and the intel
ligent deductions drawn from established
things.

IT'S A BITTER PILL

It's enough to make a man sick. We
mean this business about Uncle Sam want
ing to change his name to Doctor Sam.
The government wants to take care of
our health in later years. 1t seeks to super
wise medical care from Washington, d. c.;
go along with us to our doctors office,-and
watch while we're getting shot of social
lied medicine
It's all spelled out in the Medicine for
the Aged legislation promoted by the gov
ernment.
Briefly, it would extend hospital, home
nursing and nursing home service to some
14.2 million persons aged 65 and over who
now are receiving social security retirement
benefits-and who, of course, will not pay
for the health benefits.
Even their present old-age benefits are
mainly drawn from the tax payments of
others. By using simple mathematics, you
can figure that every present beneficiary
withdraws in few months what he has
contributed during his years of employment.
After he has received the equivalent of
his own contribution, he is supported by the
Social Security Administrations, more
exactly, by the taxpaying population. And
the program would lead to a further cut in
take-home pay because of even. greater i'm
creases in the Social Security tax-already
rising and scheduled to reach go of payroll
within just eight years.
If you're still we'll enough after reading
this, how about penning your protest to
Socialized Medicine to your legislative rep
resentatives in Washington?

though these countries now have
much unemployment.
Europe has natural resources,
including navigable rivers. iron,
coal. chemicals. and waterpower.
1t also has a climate which en-
courages people to work. Wages
are fairly low and there is no
scarcity of labor in most local
tiles. This explains why so many
American manufacturers are buy
ing or building plants in Europe.
Labor unions exist, but with the
exception of those in France, are
not now much of a handicap.
WHAT ABOUT sPAlN7
My comments regarding the
three classes of land in Ireland
also apply to Spain. Spain has
waterpower, both developed and
undeveloped. 1t has coal, oil, and
chemicals. Wages are low and the
cost of living is reasonable. In
dustries are springing up in Spain
and the climate is fair. for both
workers and tourists. Perhaps as
a foreign hedge against imitation
would now advise the purchase of
well-located land in Spain. espe-
cially in the suburbs of Madrid,
Toledo, Barcelona, and Valencia.
The big real estate profits in Spain
will take place in "Suburbia"-
which is now just starting.
OF course, no one should invest
im any foreign country without
spending a month therein and see
ing the land personally. Spain has
several different kinds of terrain
and climate-dry and wet, noun
famous ard fertile, cold and
warm. Most of what | say about
Spain also applies to Portugal.
| advise the southern coastal por-
ton of Spain. The best coastal
country is warm in Winter and
may be compared to our Florida.
Southwest of Barcelona toward
,Gibraltor there are several very
attractive places. Given the same
altitude, the temperature should
grow warmer as one travels south
west from Barcelona or Madrid.
Malaga is supposed to have the
best all-round climate of any
city in Spain.
Let me describe in some detail
the area from Barcelona eastward
to the French Border where one
approaches the French Riviera.
One can reach Barcelona by steam
ship, or plane. or railroad train.
From Barcelona to the French
Border is about rs miles. One can
make the trip in hours by auto
mobile or in one hour by electric
train. The first town which in
terested me was San Pedro. This
is about 90 miles east Of BARGE

Properly located acreage should
be the best hedge against imitation,
owing to it's limited amount and
the growth in population. / spent
two months last fall studying land
in Europe U am making no re-
port now on the Latin and South
American countries and Canada) /.
AS there was little interest in tour
list travel in Europe during the
winter, l have held these notes
until now.
IRelANp-THE EMERALD ISLE
Owing to Great Britain's desire
to break up all unproductive es-
tates of available acreage, know
of no bargains in acreage in Eng
although raw acreage can
be purchased in Scotland and
Wales. However, | have travelled
900 miles by automobile in Ireland.
There are few Industries in Ire
land due to the lack of natural re-
sources. The people are healthy,
happ, and willing to work. The
youth of Ireland outside of the
few large cities-are happy living
on farms which they expect to in
herit from their parents. As a re-
suit, very little of the good farm
ing land is for sale in Ireland,
even at high prices. Land which
sells in Kansas for 500 per acre
cannot be bought in Ireland for
less than $400 per acre.
The mountain land in the wes-
tern portion, which is good only
for grazing sheep, can be bought
for $40 or so per acre, depending
upon it's accessibility. Lakes and
rivers abound in Ireland, which
makes it good for pasturing. In
fact, the acreage in Ireland may
be divided into three groups: %
Good farm land in the Golden
Midlands"; (2) pasture land with
good green grass but with not
much depth of soil, which sells
for about $3.50 per acre; and (3)
rocky mountain land good only for
sure-footed sheep and cattle, but
preferably in the southern part
near the ocean.
FRANCE, lrAlY AND OTHER COUNTRIES
The above comments as to prices
regarding Ireland apply also to
France, Switzerland, and Italy. No
good acreage is available in Bel
gium, Holland, or West Germany.
Not only is the fertile land there
in production, but the farmers
control the politics, tariffs, and
even prices. Italy, however, is
fast becoming an industrial ma
tion with waterpower and other
natural resources. U. S. manufac-
turers should watch Italy and
Switzerland (and also Japan, al
Milford chronicle., 1961-05-26
ASKING FOR TROUBLE

Everyone, to say the completely obvious,
would like to make more money-to get a
greater return for whatever goods or SER
vices he produces. But attempts to make
more money by purely arbitrary and artii-
cial means usually lead to dead-end street.
In II of the Midwest states the members
of a new farm organization have combined
to hold livestock off the market, in order to
create scarcity and so force prices up. If
they should be successful, the price of pork
chops would increase from the 1860 aver
age of sc cents pound to $1.04, and bacon
would rise from last years 65 cent average
to 79 cents. Other livestock products would
show comparable jumps.
Outside observers doubt very much if
this effort can succeed. For one thing ami
mails can't be kept off the market indefinite
ly. They must be fed, and they continue to
grow. If marketed late, in too-heavy, too
fat state, they bring reduced prices per
pound.
Even leaving that practical problem
aside the wisdom of these farmers is SER
iously open to doubt The artifcially-induc-
ed price boosts, if they should come, would
hit all consumers-and there are great
many more consumers than farmers. Re-
sentiment against this form of price-fixing
would be enormous.
Any group which tries to undermine the
free market is asking for trouble-in the
form of tough legislation and regulation.

RUSSIA UNDERSTANDS SEA POWER
"While the Soviet Union is historically
a great land power rather than a naval
or merchant marine power, it is revealing
to see the degree to which Russia is con-
centrating its energies in developing its
merchant marine capability. In short, the
Russians understand sea power"
That observation comes from Vice Ad-
miral Ralph E. Wilson, Chairman of the
Federal Maritime Board. And he imple-
mented it with some impressive facts.
Russia now has more than 800 merchant
ships, totaling As million deadweight tons,
and her satellite nations add substantially
to the total. If current plans are carried
out, the size of her merchant fleet by the
end of 1865 will be twice that of 1860
And these, Admiral Wilson adds, will be
first-class vessels, with capacities of 10,-
900 to $4,000 tons and cruising speeds
of 18 knots
Russia is now engaged in a no-holds-
barred economic war with the West Her
goal in that war is crystal cear-word
domination. And merchant shipping, as
she so plainly sees, is an essential weapon.
Admiral Wilson states that our own
merchant marine position needs strength
ening, and on a large scale In his words,
Il feel sure that the defense significance
of the fleet of merchant ships flying the
American flag will not be overlooked by
our new Administration" This is one of
the many areas in which we simply cannot
afford to lag behind.
