Taxpayers Friend

Amply meriting the title
Of THE Taxpayers Friend, ="
1t seems to me, is New York's
Senator Kenneth B. Heating.
In combination with William
Proxmire Of Wisconsin, he
recently went on record as
opposing those congreSsion-
al wage increases Of some
so per cent, about which
we've been hearing. Any
such measure, If enacted,
would be decidedly initiation
airy in effect.
Now, in behalf both of
economy and better interna-
tional relationships, Heating,
together with Paul Douglas,
would withhold foreign aid
to such governments as are
INDUCING in virulent hate
campaigns. His condemna-
ton Of propaganda barrages
directed against Israel was
apt, indeed. 1t is incontest-
able that such procedures
are "as inimical to the in
terestS Of peace as spending
or actual weapons"
Nations using such means
to incite unrest can be
brought to their senses In
only one way. Appeals of fair
play fall on deaf ears but
any interruption In the flow
OF American dollars immedi-
ately is understood. Objec-
lions may be numerous and
noisy, but If we stand firm,
our point ought to be clear.
Whether they realize it or
not, Heating is proving him
self a good friend to the un-
derdeveloped lands receiving
our assistance. For, If funds
are diverted to non-con-
structive purposes, the econ
omies Of such nations aren't
likely to improve. It's about
time we took a closer look at
what our money is actually
accomplishing.

Back here at Painted Post
Rock on the reservation the
talking papers give us Indi-
ans much puzzlement. Also
the pictures about US from
the little black box are fun
ny, as long as we can get UP
and go home after the shoot
ing is over.
IN picture papers we see
Great Father in Washington
scowl at foreign President
for having brother in cabinet
who send troops against good
people. Then we see our Pres
ident smile on own brother
in his cabinet who send troops
against good people in our
country. or is the South still
our country? One time, long
ago. we thought the West our
country but Great Father
send troops after us.
In Council, we ask agent
and black robe to explain this
to us. They did not give
straight-aS-arrow answer. It
seems that they tell us about
Marches on Washington and
the vote. Maybe we marched
at the wrong time and may
be vote for wrong man to be
Great Father?
After we ask questions, a
man from Texas asked us
questions. He was from In
come, Texas, not Dallas.
What happened to the man
from Texas that we sent to
Washington to be Assistant
Great Father We never hear
from him no more so we
change his name to One-Big-
Bull.
So we Western and South
ern Indians will have to vote
for Silver Eagle from Ari-
iona to be Great Father in
Washington as the one we

Approximately two years
ago, a campaign was initiated
against Robert WEIGH,
founder Of the John Birch
Society. The tactics used by
the liberals and anti-anti-
Communists against this pa
triotic American would have
made McCarthy's tactics
seem benevolent by COM
parison.
The cabal Of opinion manip-
ulators and professional de-
tractors leapt into the battle
with one fact that could be
used against Mr.. WEIGH. They
quoted from an extensive
letter written by WEIGH in
1854 which he had diStrib-
uted privately to his friends.
Welch'S objectionable crime
was that he had called Presi-
dent Eisenhower a Commu-
mist. Although this letter was
referred to as the BLACK
Book" the actual title is
THE Politician"
1t would be interesting to
know how many OF the de-
traction and distortion artists
have taken the time to read
1.-THE Politician" since 1t was
published last April in an
expanded edition with foot
notes and photography.
The Recommendation con-
tanned in the footnotes of
THE Politician" are valuable
II one is truly interested in
understanding the Eisenhow-
er years. It is not necessarily
a convincing argument that
Eisenhower was a Commu-
mist, nor does WEIGH dog
matically impose this opinion
on the reader.
There seems to have been
a conspiracy Of silence since
publication OF THE Politi-
cian." The New York Times
carried a full-page paid adj
vertisement. but no promi-
nent newspaper has reviewed
1.-THE Politician" While the
liberals have a glorious OPP
portunity TO libel WEIGH with
editorial immunity, they have
chosen to bury their heads in
the sand. This is Just one
more instance Of the general
rule that when the liberals
are presented with publicly
circulated facts that preclude
their smear tactics, even they
realize their arguments" are
invalid.

hin d h a n d. He is therefore
entitled to great credit for
this decision. since 1t will
please nobody but the mod

it displeases the Democratic

ated a shrill passion against

from any lea d er anywhere

Com munists rather than

them.
Saluted, too, must be ROg-
er Hilsman, Assistant Secre-
tary Of State for Far Eastern
Affairs. Mr.. Hilsman, a war

Merrill's Marauders and now
a policy planner who is SEN
sibly tough" has long car
ried this mess on his plate IL

Weeks Of careful inquiry
indicate that the actual sit

this: The so-called Buddhist

Christian, is undeniably prof
iting the Communists. Ger
tainly they exploit it, if they
did not help to start it. He
was right to put 1t down, to
the considerable degree that
1t is a political putSch and
not a legitimate expression of
religious grievance.
Matter Of Common Sense
Diem has, however, some
times gone too far in the
means by which he has put
1t down, and this is doing no
good at all, least of all to the
joint Diem-A m erican war
plan. For one illustration. Is

as commonSenSe also dictates
that we not be stampeded

This is the delicate balance
on which our policy now
stands. 1t merits the support
of everybody who is con-
cerned here not with liberal

A BOOK FOR TODAY
One of Mexico's Greatest Men
By DONALD MINTZ

Santa Anna was driven
from power in 1855. q new
constitution was adopted in
1857, and in short order,
Juarez became president. A
series Of reforms set off
bitter strife in the country,
the War of the Reform. gen.
orally said to have lasted
from 1857 to 1860.
Juarez was the unqueS-
toned leader of the Liberals.
He maintained his govern
ment, often in virtual exile
in its own country, held off
foreign intervention for a
considerable time, and
seemed defeated only when
French troops took Mexico
City and the Hapsourg Arch
duke Macmillan of Austria
was made emperor in 1854.
Yet Juarez was not de-
feated and he did not leave
Mexican soil. Eventually
Maximilian's empire COL
lapsed, and on December 10,
1867, Juarez was once again
elected president. He died
while in office in 1872.
Great Man With Faults
Mexico, Of course, had
many years of bitter trouble
still before her. Yet Juarez
had made a vast contribution
to his country's development
as a modern state. Though
he has been accused Of trea-
sonous behavior in the ne
gotiation of a distinctly
questionable treaty with the
United States (which the
U. S. Senate refused TO rati-
fy). though he was obviously
guilty Of some severe lapses
Of judgment. he remains one
Of the great men Of the
hemisphere.
AS Mr.. Smart sees It, Jua-
ez strove. and to an extent
succeeded, in building a
modern, political state in
Mexico, that is, in partially
breaking down those semi
feudal notions Of loyalty to
a local patron that still
plague Latin America. He
did not, however, have
much idea Of the modern,
chronological economy that
makes the old political ways
so difficult and the modern
state so necessary. Theoreti-
cally he may have gone at 1t
the wrong way around; prac-
tically he seized those oppor-
tunities that we're open.
Viva Juarezl" is an i'm
portant book TO us. and one
hopes that a Spanish trans
lation will appear shortly.

The American position in
South Wet Nam-which is to
say the free worlds position
In the fateful battle to halt
creeping Communist military
aggression in Southeast
Asia-is looking UP.
Given luck and a determi-
nation by the American peo-
pie not to contribute by an
ounce to either-or pressures
on this Government coming
from both left and right. we
may yet come out with a sig
nificant victory.
The biggest change In at
mosphere proceeds right
from the White House. Presi-
dent Kennedy has now made
1t plain that he does not pro-
pose to lose the war out there
by yielding to the loud and
foolish d m a nds Of either
screeching pacifist-liberals
or bellicose ultra -conserVa-
tives here at home.
The liberals-now in spirit
impertinently joined by Sec
retary- General U Thant Of
the United Nations, though
the matter is none Of his
business-want Mr.. Kennedy
to throw out the anti-Com-
munist head of South Wet
Nam, Ngo Dinh Diem, be-
cause of his alleged "perSccu-
ton" of the Buddhists. They
thus also would throw away
a military victory over invad-
ing Communist guerrillas.
The Presidents Policy
They can see nothing good
in Diem, though he is the
only Vietnamese politician in
sight with the known capaci-
ty to continue eric a n
backed resistance to the
Communists.
The ultra-conservatives
want Mr.. Kennedy to go
along with everything Diem
may do, howe ver divisive.
Since he is indispensable to
the anti Communist cause,
we must not lay a finger on
him to check excuses which
threaten to hamper the mill
tary action itself.
Happily, however, Ere ST.
dent Kennedy has promised
not to be led up either of
these blind alleys. He has
proclaimed the only rational
policy: Whatever helps win
the war over the Communists
we will support; whateve r
interferes with it we will OPP
pose.
We are not going to Gust
Diem to please one crackpot
wing here at home, nor will
we sit by silent. and see Item
go on making avoidable mis-
takes, to suit the oil e +
crackpot wing.

VIVA JUAREZ! A Biography.
BY Charles Allen Smart.

u. B. Lippincott Co.;
$3.50
Charles Allen Smart has
lust enough property to per-
NIT me to indulge for a while
in this arduous and not mex
pensive sport of writing biog-
raphy."
He has lived in Mexico for
many years and is obviously
eager to make the country
and its great men known to
her large and often rather
callous neighbor to the North.
Mr.. Smart started his work
in an earlier volume, "At
Home in Mexico" The pres
ent book began as a popular
biography of one Of MeXico's
great heroes that was to be
based on a few published
documents and secondary
sources.
But "out of dissatisfaction
and curiosity" writes Mr.,
Smart, II have gone some
what further than that, into
five archives and into many
conversations with we'll
informed Mexicans."
Mr.. Smart does not claim
that his biography is defini-
tive; indeed, he assures us
that 1t is not. He is equally
modest about his original
contributions to knowledge OF
Juarez.
His modesty is becoming
but 1t is too great. Viva
Juarez!" is a fine and sensi-
tive retelling Of the career
Of a great and enigmatic
man, a man who is still a
center Of considerable con-
troversy in his own country
The book brings to North
Americans a considerable por-
ton of the turbulent history
of Mexico in the 10Th century
in sufficient detail for them
to understand the special
greatness and tragedy Of this
fascinating land.
Model Of Fairness
Mr.. Smart is neither Mexi-
can nor U. S. patriot. His
discussion Of issues that have
remained very sensitive all
these years is a model OF
fairness. Only the most en-
Uttered and prejudiced on
both sides can fail to be
moved by the skill with
which he sets these contro-
versies into both their inn
mediate and long-term
frameworks.
The subject Of this fine
book, Benito Juarez, was
born in 1909 in q small vil-
lage in the state Of Oaxaca.
He was a full-blooded Zapo-
tee Indian.
Through incredible cour-
age and diligence, he OBJ
tanned an education, and be-
gan the climb that was TO
lead him TO the presidency OF
his country in one OF Its
most troubled times.
Juarez began his career In
his home state. BY 1858 he
was sufficiently prominent TO
have been forced into exile
by Santa Anna.
