have been those among us who
have grown red in the face
shouting opposition to the fiscal
policies of our government.
In short. Conservatives have
said the country would go broke
unless it gave up its fancy
bookkeeping and reverted to an
old-fashioned respect for arith-
metic.
That our shouting has had lit
tie effect is self evident: Our
national debt, today, is in excess
of $500 billion and before another
year goes by $40 billion to Sll
billion more will be loaded on
top Of that.
The manner in which our
treasury has been operated
since Herbert Hoover left office,
might be likened to the manage
ment OF a respected bank that.
tor 30 yerrs, has had a wild
man making loans. For a while,
SO. long as the bank can dodge
the full force of the obligations
incurred by the wild man, it can
go on doing business in the
same old way Inevitably,
though, such a bank will col
lapse, even if its depositors new
er wake up. It must: as it's in
nards are eaten away. as loans
are defaulted, as bad debts
mount. that much closer comes
the day when its doors will close.
And with that will come unend-
ing trouble for its depositors.
chaos.
That is our country. I am of
the opinion the fiscal innards of
America are about gone, our
country's bad debts have
grown to the point we can't meet
them. AS Of today, the wild men
within our treasury are scurly-
ing around. seeking ways to
avoid the full force of the obi
cations they must meet, meet
them or acknowledge national
bankruptcy.
There are a number of rea-
sons that bring me to this con-
cIuSl0n, many of them of
technical nature. Principally,
they have to do with the imbal-
ance of international payments
and with Treasury Secretary
Douglas billions proposal that
sold and silver backing be re-
moved from paper currency.
Such as that. But in my opin-
ion, our precarious position will
be brought home most forceful-
" to the majority of us through
an understanding Of the gaudy
fiscal devices now being resort
ed by the government.
They are eyeopening and, be-
yond doubt, are harbingers of
things to come. Our country is
broke. and the nightmare Of real
izaticn is upon us.
A particular one comes tn
mind.
Along with thousands of other
business executives, l recently
received from Secretary Dillon
a fancy package which. when

heroic survivors Of the Inflated
Bay of Pigs invasion are faced
with a crushing new ultimat-
UNI.
This latest surrender" de
mand. as the Cuban veterans
bitterly call it, is from the Ken
needy Administration in the form
of a blunt order to completely
refrain from having anything to
do with attacks against Castro's
Communist regime.
Penalty for disregarding this
secret edict is immediate loss
of the monthly payments they
are receiving from the govern
ment.
This harsh breakdown is being
explained individually to every
member of the Cuban brigade
by representatives OF Attorney
General Robert Kennedy.
These officials are conveying
their orders orally and with no
one present other than the free
dom fighter hearing them.
Word of this extraordinary

reached the Sen At e Armed
Services Subcommittee investi
eating the administration fail
ure to get the thousands of Rus
sian troops out of Cuba.
One letter sent the senators
recounts in detail how the in
yasion veterans are summoned
and singly informed that their
monthly allowances. ranging
from Sl0O to $3.50 will be dis
continued unless categoric
pledge of mo action against
Castro is given. If an exile
balks. his name is forthwith
stricken from the payroll.
Significantly, this ironhanded
undercover pressure is being
exerted on brigade members at
the very time Attorney Gen
eral Kennedy is publicly calling
for unification Of Cuban refugees
in an organization that could
speak with one voice and have
some relationship with the
U. S. and other countries.
NEW FRONT" GROUP -
Congressional sources close to
the White House are saying pri-
vately that the Attorney General
is spearheading a drive inside
the administration to set up a
new Cuban front" under the
leadership Of Manuel Ray, mem
Der Of the first Castro cabinet.
Also that only exile groups
willing to 90 along with the
Presidents ''let the dust settle"
policy are being asked to join
this new organization and hold
key posts in it.
Main purpose of the new
"front" is described as aimed
at expanding contacts" with

to receive some financing as

DklNCE Edward County faces bud
gel making time again this year in
the same atmosphere of uncertainty
which has persisted for the past seven
years, The budget is required by law
to be adopted by June 80, and the levy
set Tor the ensuing year. international
budgets must be published prior to that
time and public hearings held The pro-
cess, we presume will begin in May as
usual
With the public school system in the
hands of the federal courts, and no in
dication that final court decisions will
be made prior to June 80, 1T would
appear that the same procedure which
has been followed in former years
will be followed again this year.
May we review:
The people Of Prince Edward Coun-
ty stand and have stood ready to sup
port public education. which would be
administered by the local school board,
financed by acts of the legislative
bodies Of Prince Edward County and
the Commonwealth of Virginia. under
Virginia law.
The people Of Prince Edward are not
ready to support public education con-
tfclled by the federal government, with
forced racial Indignation by the federal
courts, or any other agency The peo-
pie and the county legislative body have
made this plain since the summer or
fall Of 1854. And they stand there to-
day.
The question posed to the Federal
Courts il 1854 and 1865 was simply
this:
Prince Edward contends that under our
constitutional system free men cannot be
taxed without their own consent or that of
their representatives, duly elected" See yir-
gi:lia Bill Of Rights Constitution of Vir..inia
Article ! Sect g.
Prince Edward contends that under orr con
stitutional system, courts are not their re
personalities duly elected: ti.at courts can
exercise judicial powers only; that the power
to levy taxes and to appropriate public reve-
nue. is exclusively a legislative power which
courts cannct bN any Iiatll means compel
the legislative branch 10 exercise. See the
Virginia Bill OF Rights Constitution Of Vir-
gnia Article Sect. 81
The questions here raised are funda-
mental not only to the perpetuation
of public education, but, forsooth, to
the liberties Of every citizen The fed
eral courts have failed to answer them,
even though, by long and costly litiga-
ton, Virginia Courts-th Supreme Court
of Appeals and the Richmond Court
of record-have sustained the position Of
the county.
Instead the federal courts have de-
cided issues of lesser moment
By decree Of the United States Dis
trict Court, in August 1860 the parents
of Prince Edward County children have
been denied the use of State and Coun-
ty funds legally appropriated as educa-
tional grants for their children until
these fundamental questions of con-
stitutiona liberty have been iudicially
determined or until the people of Prince
Edward abandon the struggle and an

prcpriate the money necessary to oper-
ate public schools in which white and
Negro children are taught together. The
parents of Prince Edward have been
penalized deprived of their Just rights
and legal privileges.
The District Federal Court held in
August 1861, in effect, that the Conn
monwealth Of Virginia cannot operate
public schools in other parts of its iuri-
diction so long as Prince Edward fails
or refuses to levy taxes and appropriate
funds for the operation of public
schools. Clearly, threat against every
citizen of this Commonwealth, and if
succumbed to. it will become a threat
against every citizen Of this United
States.
Also, before the federal court for de-
cision is the question raised by the
NAACP as to whether grants for tut
ton may be used by parents whose
children attend a private racially segre-
gated school
Under leadership. if not sponsorship,
Of the NAACP, the Negro parents Of
Prince Edward have refused to accept
any assistance or to consider any pro-
gram to provide education for their
children. Public schools would be in
operation in Prince Edward today ex-
cept for the attack made on the county
by the NAACP and others in 1851. They
fo,.paJ ha ipDnorn+io,, ~ ,,,,l1; +, o,j,,.n
ton and have shown no disposition
whatever to reestabish education ex-
cept upon their own terms, which are
not acceptable to the remainder of
Prince Edward County citizens. And
they cry to high heaven, to President
Kennedy and Attorney General Ken
nedy to pull their chestnuts out of the
fire and their children out Of ignor-
ance.
Every school district must have con
troll over the public education Of its
children. Until the right Of this county
to levy or not to levy its taxes through
constitutional and legal means is sub
stantiated. there is no honorable
means by which the people Of Prince
Edward can move toward restoration of
universal education, which the record,
critics Notwithstanding, shows the peo-
pie Of the County willing and DESTROYS
to do.
Prince Edward has been surveyed. re-
surveyed, and we understand will be
surveyed again (this time by the Educa-
ton Department Of the liberal Uni
verslty of Michigan under sponsorship
Of the Federal Health, Education and
Welfare Department headed by Robert
c. Weaver, and the Justice Department
headed by Hon. Robert Kennedy.
We counsel our people to cooperate
with any and all agencies which come
to our county in the spirit Of good will.
We can be courteous, cooperative and
sincere, at the same time we can be
answering in our devotion for our ma.
ton and our children, and our remain
ing and future liberties and the pursuit
Of happiness.

should 60 wrong with that tiny
switch. So, if you happen TO be
the man making that small
switch. don't think that you are
less important than the big-sal-
aried engineer. If YOU are not
responsible on your part Of the
team. it won't do the engineer
any good to be brilliantly res
ponsible on his part of that
team.
Teach Young Responsibility
A good many young people to-
day are not naturally aware of
the necessity of discipline, and
unfortunately their families and
school teachers often fail to
make this need plain to them.
That is the reason for the in
numberable dropouts from jun
ior high schools and high schools
throughout the nation. If these
children have no sense Of re-
sponsibiity toward their own
education it is not likely that
they will assume any when they
go out into the business world.
Such children grow into adults
who consider their Jobs Of no
real value, who do not know the
meaning of job responsibility.
Let me warn the parents Of
today's youngsters that employ
ers are deadset against hiring
school "dropouts. This is a
time of specialization. There is
20 per cent less demand right
now for common labor than in
1850: and certainly nobody can
expect any rise in the going
wage rate for those in umskI-
led categorieS. Best opportun-
tiles are in engineering. advanc-
ed mathematics, physics, elect
ronics, data processing, and
communications. If you let your
children or your grandchildren
drop out of school, they will
probably never acquire any
needed responsibility; and they
will never get the training that
will make them prospects for the
big jobs perhaps even for
any job of tomorrow. Don't
let your child become a drop
out"

The Nations farm labor
force in February was at a
50-year low for that month,
reports the U. s. Department
of Agriculture.
During the survey week cf
February 1928 there were on
ly 1891 900 persons at work -
three percent fewer than dur
ing the corresponding period
a year ago.
In the South, where Negro
workers make up about half
of the farm labor force, there
was a drop of $1,000 persons.
Of these, $4,000 were hired
workers, accounting for the
total U. S. decline in wage
hands during the month. Sharp
est downturn took place in Ge-
orgia and Texas. Weather was
a major factor.
A USDA study of wages, ed
ucation, and level OF skill is
sued last week indicates that
white and colored farm work
ers in the South with similar
educational backgrounds and
with similar jobs received diff
ferent pay in 1861. The color
ed workers were paid from 95
cents to $1.75 less than white
employees.
For example, the study re-
port points out that colored
workers performing such hand

cotton received an average of
