The Democrats-
Welfare Staters
The Democratic and Republican platforms
adopted at the recent conventions in I>os An-
geles and Chicago ilon’t leave the voters of
the Smith much room for choice in the No-
vemU-r election
Both documents expound principles and
put forth legislative programs, that will do
anything but attract the overwhelming sup-
}»«>r. of the electorate in the Southern states.
The Democratic platform, especially, seems
haw l**en written with the end in view of
driving the S.uth from the party. And the
nveption accorded S«*uthem delegates to the
convention w«.uld further confirm such a
i (*rk I u * w>n.

The Senator was right in saying that the
nvestigation has left the implication of
charges against the people of these counties.
If no ev idence of illegal practices was found,
the Department should have so stated.
We guarantee that if any wrong doing hail
been uncovered, the Attorney General would
have shouted it to the skies. His refusal to
make any kind of a report on the investiga
tion is taken as an admission that there were
no grounds for it in the first place.
The Senator’s demand for an apology to
the people of these counties has- gone un
answered.

Taxpayers’ Nightmare
A billion dollars is a lot of money, but our
national debt is a fantastic billion. The
Citizens Public Expenditure Survey. New
York, a state-wide tax research organiza
tion. calculated that even 1f the government
should end each year with a surplus of 1.1
billion and apply all oTit to paying off the
debt, it would still take about 260 years—
until the year 2220—for the entire debt to
W paid.
In'.tW 1 meantime, just the interest on the
debt makes it the second most costly item on
your federal tax bill. Only national defense
costs more. We must continue to tell our
legislators—on the local and state as well as
the federal level—to keep government spend
ing within revenues and step up the battle
to reduce the debt.

Johnston Demands Apology
From Justice Department
The Justice Defiartment. through the At-
tornev (leneral of the I'nitetl States, three
months ag<> ordered an investigation of the
registration and voting record* of three
South Carolina counties. McCormick, Claren-
>lon and Hampton.
The Attorney General sent FBI agents to
search, -eize and photograph the records of
these counties, from which there had been
no complaint regarding discrimination in
registration ami voting.
Nothing has been heard of the investiga
tion.
So Senator Johnston asked the Justice De
partment to make public its findings. The
Department replied that it did not intend

The largest American investments are in the sugar
lands, which, of necessity, must be operated either
by lar^e corporations or by the Cuban Government
It would be sheer nonsense to divide up these lands
among small Cuban holders Whether President Eisen
hower is handling this sugar'situation properly by
retaliation. 1 do not know Such an action helps
sugar producing companies outside of Cuba, as well
as our own beet sugar companies One of the largest
amounts of Cuban sugar lands owned by U. S. invest
ors is that held by the United Fruit Company, which
has 90.000 stockholders in the United States. The stock
of the United Fruit Company—which 1 believe to be
good—is selbng close to its lowest levels of the past
two decades, although I understand that only 5 per
cent of its earnings have recently come from Cuba.
Russia wants to get Cuba as she is in great need of
tropical land and warm water bases, but she will not
