• ■ I / THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, May 19, I960 Strom Hlurmond Witt iDDOOPDOODlil -vX-V If there are still those in the free world who believe that the enemy ban be moved by logic, or that he is susceptible to moral apepal, or that he is willing to act in good faith, those remaining few should dis abuse themselves of that notion Our one serious mistake during the negotiations was in assuming., or even hoping, that the enemy was capable of acting in good faith Fu ture textbooks can set down the maxim that the speed with which agreement is reached with the Com munists varies directly as the mili tary pressure applied, and that the worth of any agreement is in pro portion to the military pressure you are able and willing to apply to en force it.’’ These are the words of Admiral Charles Turner Joy who learned the „hard way about negotiating with Communists at the peace table at Panmunjom. Korea. These ominous words of caution stand as only one of many reminders of what should be the hard, cold fact that we can not expect to negotiate with the Communists and gain anything more than a’lblack eye. We have had many sad expe riences as a result of many of the World War n and post-war confer ences, such as those held at Tehe ran. Yalta and Potsdam In the past 25 years, the United States has had 3.400 meetings with the Com* munsiU The negotiators at these conferences spoke 106 million words and executed 52 major agreements. Of these agreements, the Commun ists have broken 50 of them in ac cordance with Lenin’s teaching that promises are like pie crusts—made ot be broken ’’ This is but a small part of the case against trying to negotiate with the Communists at a summit meet ing or elsewhere If we want to just talk or sho wthem our strength and demonstrate our firmness, tha tsi another matter—just so long as we do not enter into any agreements with any naive notion that they will bo lived up to on the other side These few facts 1 have cited also give ample evidence of the impor tance of keeping w ell posit'd on Communist intentions and aggres sive capabilities by almost any means deemed advisable by our leaders charged with the vital re sponsibility of maintaining our na tional security. It should be most reassuring to the American public to know that our country-is not re lying on Communist lies, deceptions and exaggerations as to what is go ing on behind the Iron Curtain in de vising our strategy and strength for national defense purposes There can be no question but that our government agreed to a summit conference with reluctance, to paci fy our allies who have been con ditioned to the top level meeting by a constant rattling of arms by- Mr. Kruschev, and their fear of war as a result of an ‘‘incident ” The fact that continued reconnai- sance flights over Russia have been made by U. S Plane for several years without provoking an attack by the Communits. illustrates that the Rusians also know the dangers of starting the shooting, contrary ot what the summit boosters would have us and our allies believe In addition, our ability to suc cessfully accomplish the flights should reaffirm confidence in our own strategic air force, for if re- connnaisance planes can make regu lar runs over the Russians several years before they can shoot down the first qpe—if indeed they did Public Records ———■ The following public records were filed the past week in the office of the Clerk of Sourt of Laurens Coun ty. ^ ‘x PROPERTY TRANSFERS W.

READ JOHN 1:«-14 1 am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10.) One night in a slum district of La Par, I was on my way to church for a family worship service. 1 was walking down very dusty streets lined with adobe huts. Stagnant water stood in the ruts and holts Everything I saw added another detail to a scene of poverty and abject ugliness. Raising my eyes to the skies. I could see the stars, shining with un usual brilliance. It was one of those balmy spring nights which are so pure and lovely. The notion struck me that persons who do not know Christ live in spiritual poverty. Many are miserable in mind and heart. They see only ugliness in their surroundings as they drag themselves through life. But God has provided in His goodness a completely different world for man. In His Son, He came to humanity to carry awdy man’s miser able condition and offer him a new life of beauty, light, and divine purity, and Morton W. Hamm, lots in Bla- jesus came that we might have life in abundance, lock estate subdivision for $1000 PRAYER: O God. look with compassion upon our hu man poverty and our condition as sinners.
