wheat, particularly to Cuba?
VIII it strengthen the Commu-
mist regime and, in turn, constitute
a further threat to our freedom?
Is this the time to reverse our
export policy to Communist coun-
tries and supply this "back-door"
foreign aid?
To make our wheat available at
the world market price would cost
the American taxpayers go cents
a bushel. The domestic price of
wheat today is about So a bushel
The world market price is about
81 40 or 60 cents a bushel less than
the U. S. price. The Government
pays the exporter this difference of
60 cents buShel in order that he
may buy wheat at U. S. prices and
sell at world market prices. This
means the Russians would be buy
ing wheat 60 cents bushel cheaper
than an American consumer and
this 60 cents comes out of the
American Taxpayers pocket.
The final decision on selling
wheat to the USSR demands care
full. thoughtful and deliberate con-
sideration.

Community Service Breeds New
Leaders
Speaking in New York City on
October l at a dinner meeting of
the Community service Society,
said:
Your work in the field of Wei
fare Research is a unique contribu-
ton, not duplicated by any branch
of the Welfare State. 1t cannot be
so duplicated because it springs
from a unique source-the moral
responsibility of one man for an
other-not the social responsibility
of the State for its members.
I'm refining knowledge and tech
niques, and in devising new meth
ods, you are advancing the cause
of Community Service. But l sug-
gest that you are also creating a
by-product of even greater value
that of moral leadership, and your
example will BREED NEW LEAD
ERS.
Religious Communities of the
! Middle Ages and the Renaissance
Period attracted able young men
because they offered areas in
which to exercise leadership. The
socially oriented secular move
ments of the 10Th Century have this
same appeal, and the same attrac-
! ton.

Welfare State has discouraged

And a Lesson for Educators

''These are fine and sensi-
tive people," the veteran trader
and guide continued. 'SThey hand
down a cultural heritage, from
generation TO generation.
Because the family unit is
the basic structure of their So
ciety. it has a unity that the white
man has lost. The family has a
place in the lives of these desert
dwellers that has no duplicate in
today's more civilized areas. i"
Outwardly the Navajo is not
a demonstrative person. MIR.
Goulding said. Among strangers
even the children seldom smile.
''They've heard stories of the
treachery of the white man, handed
down from father to son, and they
are shy and fearful until they
get to know a person.
Until they do know you. they
never are certain that you won't
turn on them. They have learned
to be wary" the trader said.
His own status with the Indians
was proved when a Navajo who
might have been so to 60 years
old came up on the porch.

ed him in English. then slid into

and both smiled broadly.
"A gentle people," Mr.. Could
ing said after the Navajo left.
"They are honest and as friendly
as you will let them be-
In all his 40 years among them,
MIR. Goulding said he only once
saw an Indian strike a child.
IAN Indian girl had been told
by her white teacher that the Navajo
ceremonies were super stition. The
girl thought a lot of the teacher
and when she was asked to parti-
cipate in ceremony, she refused.
This amounted to rejecting
the religion and the culture of her
people, and her mother lashed at
her with a rope end.
"The child fell to the ground,
still refusing to perform, and un-
happily ready to accept any punish
ment her parents wished to give.
"The mother sent her away.
and later in the day came across
the mother intears, broken hearted
that she had struck the child"
Who educate the Navajo
children?
Every one: father, mother, bro
theirs and sisters.
EVEN the neighbors, when op-
portunity presents itself, offer
instruction. Often the word of a
neighbor is needed more closely
than THAI of the parent.
"Op the reservation education
is shared responsibility"
1t is the general acceptance of
this responsibility that makes the
Navajo Tribal Council as inter-
ested as it is in the formal edu-
cation of their children, MIR. Could
ing said.
He told of reservation schools,
the Intermountain Indian School
at Brigham City, and the program
by which some Naval 10 children are
taken into the homes and sent
to the schools of the white people.
"When the Navajo children go
to school, it is serious business
to them =.
