One day a group of us Americans
(Yankees, they called us) went to a
large popular restaurant for the
midday meal, meaning to rebuild
our wasted tissues with hearty Old
English fare, kidney pie, maybe,
and Yorkshire cheese and all that,

well!!
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
It’s easy to get cakes to bake per

batter around the sides of the pan
first, and then let the batter fill
the middle.

Now our English friends like
their tea hot; they drink beer warm,
too, I’m told. No new fangled Yan
kee foolishness for them! No sir!
Warm tea!
Like most Americans abroad, I
clung to the traditions' of my great
native land and wanted iced tea.
My English companions, in amaze
ment and disgust, nearly slid under
the table. “Oh, you cawn’t, you
know; it isn’t done, bah jove”.
Seeing that my thirst for iced tea
was a diplomatic blunder, just short
of war, I assumed my most humble
attitude before the dignified and
stately waiter and meekly submit-
agreement laws tinder which we
would import from foreign Coun
tries the same commodities we
were destroying in America. Those
of us who called attention to the
falacy of this policy were merci
lessly berated by the New Deal
press and by the Internationalists
of the country.
The statement that other nations
are short of dollars is a cover-up
phrase. Most people in this coun
try are short of dollars. If we have
any obligation to see that people
are not short of dollars, such obli
gation would be to the people here
in America where dollars are the
monetary unit.”
“When soybean oil and soybean
meal and other vegetable products
are converted directly into imita
tion ice cream, butter substitutes
'and substitutes for other dairy
products, it is apparent that s uch* ted his proposal like our truce team
substitutes can be sold at a lower in Korea: “Waiter, could you pos-
price than milk and milk products | sd jjy contrive to bring a glass of
and still show a profit. ; —
The manufacture and sale of
margarine and other substitutes for
dairy products is forcing the Amer
ican dairyman out of business. The
Government is attempting to buy
the dairyman’s products and keep
him in business. At the same time
the Government, under reciprocal
trade agreements, is trying to buy
dairy products from dairymen in
other nations to keep them in busi-
- -0*ss. -
j This principle is highlighted by
our imports of dairy products and
the accumulation of surpluses of
dairy products because we are im
porting dairy products for which
we have no earthly use.”
“We need much in the way of
raw materials from other lands.
These, of course, we should buy.
Nevertheless, when we buy any
thing we do not need, it is only a
waste in our economy.
We should honestly recognize the
fact that we are numerically and
economically too weak to try to en
force our ideas of Government on
two billion people in the balance
of the world ”
“Be a good neighbor to other
lands without trying to run their
business and without letting them
run our business. Buy what we
- need and *pay~for it. - Sett what
we don’t need and collect for it.
Cancel out whatever debts other
nations owe • us.”
This is sound doctrine, though
not in accordance with our so-call
ed Internationalists who mean w’ell,
probably, but are destructive. (

President Eisenhower recom
mends that we spend nearly six bil
lion dollars on our foreign aid pro
gram. The Commodity Credit has
loans of three billions. Mr. Tru
man’s figure was a billion or so
more. All this is proposed for the
fiscal year 1953-54, eight years af
ter the close of the war! How long
are we to continue this? If Europe
is so weak, so shaky, let her have
her collapse and rebuild her econo
my. Certainly we cannot bear Eu
rope’s burdens and carry the world
on our shoulders forever.
A great man, a man of vast inter
ests, makes this edmment: “You
are always thoroughly sound in
our fight against Socialism; and
the Government going into business
to different kinds is nothing short
of Socialism. Our pouring billions
and billions of dollars into Europe
has never seemed to me to be ad
visable. Some of this money was
used for building hydro projects in
France; and some for other public
works; and some for building roads
in the jungles of Africa. When our
Congressmen and Senators vote for
this kind of thing, they haven’t got
a leg to stand on, when the farm
ers come to them and say, “You
are helping all these unappreciative
foreigners bountifully, why can’t
us farmers get a reasonable price
for our product?”
What do you think of that?

It was a hot day in London. Ev
erything seemed upside down.
When I crossed the English Chan
nel from Bolougne to Folkstone,
the water was smooth. The rough
ness of that Channel is well known,
blit it was calm when I crossed.
And there was no fog in London.
I missed the two best known inci
dents of travel; the heavy, impene
trable London tog, and the turbu-
tune. Tea settles all things. What’s stay on better during the frying
process if they’re well refrigerated
after the coating is put on them.
