Property Owner in the July 25th
issue struck an amusing note for

Perhaps this person should be
reminded what refined means
Well-bred, free from grossness
coarseness, crudeness, vulgar1ty,

There are few whites in a truly
refined neighborhood and If a Ne

neighborhood, he'd more than
likely be accepted.
All the average Negro wants Is
to be able to move into any neigh
borhood without a small riot oc-

The Double Standard On
Personal Bankruptcy

Most of the people who viewing with alarm
the sensational increase In personal bankruptcies
during the past few years looking at the matter
through the distorted focus Of the double standard
They are that is TO say, resering their righteous
indignation for the people who go through bank
ruptcy to get out Of paying what the critics call
their just debts"
We would be more likely to get at rational
solutions of the problem If of these critics
would recognize that its other aspect is lust as i'm
portant.
Many an ethical and well-meaning creditor Is
to be sure, subjected to losses through personal
bankruptcy by debtors who should be well
able to pay their obligations. But many a debtor Is
put into hopeless predicament because he has been
unwary and unwise in using credit sometimes rather
aggressively offered to him by INSCRIPTIONS lenders
These INSCRIPTIONS lenders sometimes are virtu-
ally underworld characters But they also appear in
quite respectable guise. There are banks for ex-
ample, that encourage automobile buyers to go in
over their heads financially They do this by collab
Grating with small (36%) loan companies in provid-
ing lOO% financing for new The bank finances
the car up to the customary limit and the rest of
the business goes to the 36% lender Yet the bank
and the marginal lender both know from experience
that this is not prudent deal for the buyer They
Know that he Is quite likely to wind up with big
debt and nothing to show for it. If he decides to dis
oharge the debt through bankruptcy, whose is the
responsibility?
There is still another aspect of the matter that
does not smell too good AS study of bankruptcy
in the July rs issue pointed out, many times
debtor is cruelty exploited in bankruptcy The phen
omenon Of specializing bankruptcy attorneys put
ting cases through on an assembly-Nne basis does
not suggest that the attorneys providing the
counsel that the debtors entitled to both eth-
olIKKo ND
charged Indeed 1t sometimes appears that the deb
tors interest is completely ignored. This in turn
raises the question whether debtor or some other
interest is the lawyers true client.
This state of affairs has long been the subject
of great deal of discussion and conjecture among
informed observers Yet we have not heard of any
Bar Association or Committee on Ethics taking any
action in the matter or even investigating 1t.

Let's Have More
Sense, Less SOOthsaying

II the Administration wants 10 take us COM
mon economic nhterates into its confidence, as it
appears to want to do, it would do well to give us
down-to-earth explanations of its economic and
fiscal policies than have been offered to date.
So far its explanations have looked and sounded
Hike magical incantations.
We do not understand for example, why rails
ing the Federal Reserve discount rate land there
fore the interest rate) will help the Unemployment
picture We do know that the steady rise in interest
rates means that the man who could finance a home
at ~ not too many years ago must pay $50 and
even 7.5% today; and that this means, on $4,000
mortgage an increase in the dead-weight load on a
home buyer of fully 500 month for interest charges
alone. This is $240 year that would otherwise go
into the consumer market for the purchase of furn
ture equipment hobby tools, and other standard-of
living items Is the new boost in interest going to
take even bigger gouge of prospective buyers?
Or is it going to dry up the market for homes?
We do not understand how the Administration
proposal to cut taxes with the biggest advantage
falling to the highest braokets) will stimulate the
economy and create jobs. The country today has
miIionaires (that is with million-doar annual
incomes) than it has had since 1929 They didn't do
the country much good in that year, either. Nor
the now-revised "triclle-down" methods of
stimulating the economy following 1929 very effec
tive.
The Administration undoubtedly has good pro-
fessional advice these matters and therefore good
reason to believe that "trcl1e-down" will work this
time; that increasing the dead weight of interest
charges will stimulate the economy and create jobs
So why don't they take into their confidence?
Why don't the experts drop the meaningless mumbo-
jumbo and tell us, in down-to-earth fashion how
their measures will work-how they will stimulate
more people to buy homes and create jobs in con-
struction; how they Will stimulate people to
buy appliances and equipment and create more fac
tory jobs; how they will stimulate people to
buy better food and clothing, and create more re-
failing jobs?
Maybe it is impossible to describe the mysteries
of economics in terms that ordinary people can
understand But we submit that we could understand
this great deal better than we understand the
soothsaying issuing from Washington

and Russia fit this theory so that
the reader can have a greater in
sight into the Sino-Soviet split.
How do Russia and China fit
into this picture of ideal Marx
ism? Neither fits in very well.
Censorship exists to a great de-
gree within both countries. Within
Russia this censorship extends
even to the field Of modern art.
Evidence that a great deal of
thought control exists within
China was revealed a couple years
ago. Censorship Of criticism of the
government was lifted for a short
time. Because Of the large volume
of criticism of governmental polio
les, the Chinese government decid-
ed to renew its policy Of thought
control.
This thought control within
China has caused needless misery
for the Chinese peasantry. The
Chinese government had decided
to place Independent steel mills
within each Of the communes. Any
technician could have shown why
this decentrahzed method Of pro-
ducing steel is too inefficient to
be practical but governmental CEN
sorship prevented discussion. This,
however, does not mean that China
is not now well on its way toward
solving its problems and success
fully feeding its masses.
AS mentioned last week, Marx
ism teaches that counties which
have had social revolutions should
encourage social revolutions in
other countries to insure world
peace. Neither country's leaders
can be considered ardent support
ers of social revolutions in other
capitalist countries. The Chinese
Communist leaders attempted to
make a deal with Chang Kai-shek
during the course Of the Chinese
civil war but Chang Kai-shek re-
fused to agree to a deal. At the
present time China supports Suk-
arno in Indonesia and Sul1arno
certainly is not socialist.
Russia Is the foremost propon-
ent Of peaceful co-edstence within
the Communist bloc. Russia also
did not overrun Eastern Europe
with the intention Of liberating the
workers of these countries but has
merely brought these workers un-
der the control Of the Russian
bureaucracy and exploited them to
Russia's own advantage.
II Russia and China are so SIM
liar, why does China believe itself
forced to take more militant at
titude toward revolutions in other
countries. This Is because China Is
placed by the West in a position
to make its own development more
difficult without aggressive expan-
sion of Communism. The US. Sew
enth Fleet patrols the China coast
to discourage trade with China's
most natural trading partner,
Japan. China is prevented from
bargaining for itself in the United
Nations by a Western coalition
dominated by the United States.
To add insult to injury, Russia re-
fuses to trade with China so 1t
cannot even look there for assist
ance.
Russia does not have any Of
these difficulties and therefore we
have the Sino-Soviet split.
