Our U-Boat Allies

CTRANGE as it is, we are now going
~ through the same process which we
experienced after World War |. Step
by step we are watching the rearming
if Germany and, this time, we are help
ing in the process.
The latest newspaper headline to
catch the eye is one telling of the trial
runs Of the first German submarines
built since World War l. They are now
undergoing runs in the Baltic Sea.
SO good are they--as conventional
-Boats-that Norway has ordered fiji
teen of them for her Navy and Den
mark is said to be considering placing
an order for number of them
Five Of the small U-Boats are already
in the water and will be put into SER
vice in the German Navy soon. Seven
more are under construction After
these, the Germans expect to build a
larger U-Boat.
The Germans have raised two u
Boats sunk by the Allies in World War
II for use as training vessels.
In short, it all reminds one of the
days of the thirties, when Hitler be-
gan to rebuild the submarine arm. Hit
Ter had little foresight in this direction,
however, and never appreciated fully,
until too late, the value Of his U-Boats.
He started World War II with only
some fifty boats, and only about two
thirds of these available for combat
missions. Russia today is estimated to
have over 400 combat boats available. J
OF course, today Germany is our ally
and a democracy, in name at least, and
so we are encouraging the U-Boat re-
building program. And we are constant
ly asking the Germans to increase the
size of their Army, and aiding in the
buildup of the German Air Force We
are gambling = and we must - that
this is safer course than gambling
with Communism, but nevertheless, it
is a strange spectacle - the beginning
of new U-Boat building program.

l repeat that we will not get

the Latin American people, as
l have indicated above. T h e
trouble with these nations is that
they have no middle class"
they are either very rich or
very poor. and whether rich

tai. One sad fact is that the rich
do not invest their money in
their own country. but send it
to Switzerland to be invested in
high-grade stocks listed in New

All of the above means that
it will be very difficult to help
Cuba or any Of the South or Cen
trail American countries. Rus
STA knows this. President Ken
nedy also knows it; but does
not know the real answer. which
is one of the fundamental diff
ficultes with the Cuban prob
lem. Geographically Cuba is a
wonderful base for Russia to
have in the Western Hemis-

keeping out of Cuba - directly

TlfE issue is not the people versus
public schools, as much as some pub
lie school super-advocates would make
of public schools.
The question is: viii public edu-
cation be controlled by the people who
pay for it, or by the federal courts,
which under pressures of organized
minorities, threaten to dominate it.
The record shows that public edu-
cation made phenomenal strides until
certain mnorities, (by no means do we
confine these to the activities of the
NAACP) attempted to control it.
Locally and specifically, Prince Ed
ward public schools were maintained
until it became apparent that local con-
troll would be lost. Then the Board of
Supervisors. acting upon the recorded
request and petition OF the people, de-
clned to levy local taxes for public
school support. and the system became
imperative. This step was not taken
precipitatlely. Four years prior the peo-
pie were on record-on public record
Public schools were supported to the
last day in which they were under local
control.
Private schools in Prince Edward and
P0Whatan counties. in Front Royal, in
Charlottesville. in Norfolk, came into
being because the people realized that
the public schools were being removed
from local control by federal action
Private schools are planned in Chester
field county. Lynchburg. and other
parts Of Virginia for the same reason
The issue is not an attack upon pub
lie schools as such The record makes
this perfectly clear, regardless of eff
forts of public-sch ools-at-any-cost advo-
Gates to foment an issue Of private
schools IS public education
After four years of litigation. Prince
Edward county. standing almost alone,
has successfully placed before the Four
tn Circuit Federal court the question:
Can n Legislative body be forced
to iery taxes BY federal judicial
edict?
If the answer is affirmative, a iu-
dicial oligarchy has replaced the con
stitutional system of this Republic
If the answer is affirmative, the con-
troll Of the public school system is in
the hands Of the courts. for if they can
order taxes levied, they can dictate the
amount Of taxes to be levied, and if
they can dictate the amount Of the
levy, we find ourselves being taxed
without representation contrary to the
basic principles upon which this Re-
public was founded
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1963-05-14
The Issue Is Not Public Schools

If the answer is negative, the control
of public education will return to the
people and their duly-elected represent
atives who, we believe, can and will
find a solution.
These are questions with which the
Fourth Circuit Court is wrestling. A
decision is necessary to any solution of
the present school dilemma, and for
the future development Of public edu
cation throughout the United States.

Wheat Program
Protects Farmer

Editor of Herald:
Freedom was the topic of a
letter written by J. Clifford Mill
er. Sr., with reference to the
wheat referendum to be held
May 81, which appeared in the
Voice of the People" of Rich
mond Tines-Dispatch May 8.
Mr.. Miller states in his letter,
If I did not vote against these
controls, I would be ashamed to
have to answer to my father
and other ancestors who have
farmed part of this land since
1927; moreover, l would hate to
have to explain to my own son
why voted to have this free
dom taken from him.
Our forefathers settled t h j S
country to have freedom. They
were brave, strong and dedicat-
ed men, but how long; yes, how
long did it take them to realize
they had to protect their free
dom? Yes, the word TART"
may be an ugly word, but our
founding fathers realized with
out it, freedom in their freedom
land would be at stake. N t
only do we have tariff" today,
but look how the list has grown
to regulate and protect The In
terstate Commerce Commission,
State Corporation Commission,
Federal Dairy Program, State
Milk Commission, to name a
few.
Yet. Mr.. Miller speaks of
Freedom. Let us look at what
he will have to tell his son about
the freedom he enjoys as a milk
producer in our great state. The
1859 census shows that we had
roughly 1872 million milk cows
in the United States. The Fed
eral Dairy Program cost us, the
taxpayers, $500 900 10000; just a
little over $1,000 per head. MIR.
Miller stated that he was milk
ing $50 cows in the counties of
Culpeper and Rappahannock.
I'm sure Mr.. Miller, being a
Virginian and good manager,
has his COWS producing above
the national average. Certainly
he gets at least $4,000 per head
per year for his $50 milking
COWS. I'm sure Mr.. Miller I'M
derstands thoroughly the pur-
pose and success flor the dairy
man of the State Milk Com
mission. Ask him if he wants to
rid the housewife Of this com
mission. What does Mr.. Miller
want in addition to the above?
Cheaper feed for his $50 milk
ing cows. I'm sure Mr.. Miller
has friends who produce to-
bacco, cotton and peanuts who
feel the same way he does: or
haven't taken the time to study
the facts in the wheat bill which
was passed by the Congress and
signed by the President; or just
don't care.

Nottoway County, Virginia, and
