I THE CLINTON CHRONIC! Tfcar'rfay. Jalr SI. ItM Th« U. S. State Dept. it must be said, is a rtaolute. tenacious stubborn organization Well, per haps not when deahnK with other nations, but when it copies to shaking dollars out of the U. S. taxpaver it is pretty persistent. * • • C. Douglas Dillon, deputy un der secretary,' ' of this govern mental agency.' has asked that Congress now give State Dept, the full $625 million to add to a fund of $.>00 million ^voted l:i'>t ses-l Sion engage in m a k i n g~c7w. Harder loans to forc'cn nation^. * * * But there is just one tiny hitch to this idea. Although since the last session of Congress, the boys at State have had S3tXl million to 1 )an to nations requesting same, there have been no requests. * * • It very much appears that the V. S. can easily give away all the money that the bureaucrats in Washington can wring out of the taxpayers, but as for borrow ing, the attitude appears to be “thanks a lot. but no thanks.” * * * And this does seem strange, as Uncle Sam seems t > be a most liberal creditor. Recently the British .had a little note coming due to U. S of s vne $137 million in principal and ; , 't.-rcst. • * • But Britain put un a hard luck story, so entire matter was post poned tor at least 43 years. • • * Thus, it is hard to see why any nation would be hesitant about borrowing from the U S But so far nobody wants any part of the $500 million foreign loan fund. • • • Now, of course, it may be pos sible that State Dept, is pouting and not taking any applirations. r«4*ratli* of ln4»penj-pt Basin— Taev ac'ually asked last Con- g ess for a billion dollar fund. • o • In one of those often forgotten exercises of Congressional pru dence, it was decided to go eas ily. see what happens. Instead of letting loose of a cool, round bil lion, Congress decided to split this between two fiscal years, voting only $300 million for first year. * • • Now, despite the fact that theru have been no takers for any part of this sum. State Dept, still wants the balance. • » • In the meantime, back on Main Street, as evidenced by the round robin of meetings held last sum mer and fall all through the United States by the Senate Small Business Committee, un der Sen. John Sparkman, chair man, independent enterprise in this country needs capital to ex pand, and to compete. * « • In addition, loans to American free enterprise, as evidenced by the record so far of the Small Business Administration, are a pretty gilt edge investment. * • * But above ;and beyond this point, it is interesting to see that while foreign nations line up at Uncle Sam's free gift window, they are not interested in any loans. No, sir, loans, they feel, are bad business. • * * And this is just one more rea son w ay the nation’s independent businessmen have gone on record so many times through the Na tional Federation of Independent Business for abolishing foreign give-aways. Of course, the bu reaucrats spend a lot of their waking hours explaining that a give away Is not actually a give away, but as any Main Street businessman knows, no matter what you call it, throwing money out into the street is still throw ing money out Into the street. $10 00. $10.00 and other valuable consid Mrs Nannie B Wyatt.

A D Salter and Marv Ann K. The U. S. Fiasco At Brussels By Thurman Sensing Executive Vice-President Southern States Industrial Council I Salter, to N. Carl Wessinger, lot on East Carolina Ave., Clinton, for If the Soviets had been given the job of planning an exhibit calcu lated to make Americans appear silly, they couldn't have done a more effective Job , n»at's what many exasperated American visi tors to the Brussels World's Fair have said of the U. S. pavilion. In stead of telling the story of Amer ica in all its richness, these visitors report, the U. S. exhibit Is built around what mast citizens reject as abnormal. It reveals to foreign ers the seamy side of American life, distorts what is taking place m this country, and ignores the great achievements of the republic. Press accounts of the U. S pa vilion stress the wifrd abstract art and describe an exhibit'that pre sents the U. S. race prpblem under a heading of “unfinished business.” The race exhibit plays up the “lib eral” approach and points to inte gration as the desired solution. | Thus the exhibit ignores the feel ings of millions of Americans on a sensitive issue. The art displayed is described as abominable. Indeed newspaer and magazine illustrations show it to be formless essays in a style of obscurantist painting that had its origins in Europe a generation ago. One mural depicts a woman with both eyes on one side of her head. A oh t h e r painting sugests that American Indians may practice cannibalism. A human leg is shown sticking out of what resembles a cooking pot. The United States constructed a building at the World’s Fair for the avowed purpose of advertising life in this country. Millions of visitors from many couiunw ar* certain to obtain a startling and unreal pic ture of what the American way of life is like. Tte paeudo-sophiati cation and the blowing up of do mestic troubles are what the com munist propagandists have harped upon over the years. The World's Fair is a splendid opportuntiy to show off the Amer ican way of life. Instead of showing human hindquarters being barbe cued and featuring oddball art, the Exhibit could have told of our tradi tion of liberty, our magnificent free enterprise system and our regional diversity. There are a few exhibits by American businesses at the World's Fair that represent a wholesome influence. But much of what should be there is missing. One of the great U. S. achieve ments is medicine. The wealth of medical equpiment and techniques could have been shown to visitors from lands where socialist med icine hinders scientific progress. The exhibit could have stressed that medical progress has been the result of freedom from govern ment control. • Citizens from countries eager to industrialize could have been told the story of the stupendous indus trial progress of the South. The “Operation Boot Strap” of the South was the Southern story to tell, not the distorted story of inte gration For people who are treatened by Soviet expansionism, the story of American states rights, of di»"<*se ways within unity, could and should haw been mid The instrument of the O which has checked tyranny and allowed free enterprise te flourish, should have been celebrated at the World s Fair. » j ^ The impression one gathers from all these reports is that the plan ning and displaying of our exhibits at the Fair was turned over to a bunch of neurotic bureaucrats who are entirely out of sympathy with our traditional American way of life and are determined to diacredit it in the eyes of the world. They will not succeed—our way of life is too strong for that—but It will not be for lack af part The question Is, bow long will the Americaa people put up with this termitic boring from within’ Dscor Wilkes Dies At Georgia Home Oscar Wilkes. 74, died Monday at his home near Claxton, Ga.
