COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS *0000000000000000000000+*0+++-00000+000000000000000000000000000000 You may think I harp incessant ly and unduly about “Foreign Aid.” Yes, I do harp incessantly but not unduly. Did you ever think what the sixty, and more, billions of dol lars might have meant to this na tion here at home? r If you are on salary or wages; or if you are operating on a small scale you may think you escape the burden, but you don’t; it is in all you buy. ^ If you let your mind play on the uirect and indirect taxes laid on all business; and then think of the in come tax you pay on your personal income you will wonder how a na tion with leaders of common sense could engage in a fantastic folly such as the Foreign Aid. Even if the billions had been spent frugally we would have been wiser to remember George Wash ingtons’ admonition to avoid “for eign entanglements.” But think for a moment on some of the prodigal waste of our program. This was begun by the Democrats, under the leadership of both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Truman, and is enthusi astically promoted by Mr. Eisen hower and the present Democratic congress. “It is a sad truth that we Ameri cans are far too trusting for our own good. Most of us are personally without guile, until the opposite is Vroven to be true, we are inclined to assume that others also are with out guile. In the confusing field of power politics which surrounds our for eign a i d program, millions of Americans are beginning to learn that this assumption has been both incorrect and extremely danger ous. Since the end of World War II we have poured our treasure into eco nomic aid overseas because we were told that this was the only way to stop the enemies of freedom. And now we are finding that this vast expenditure not only has failed to have the slightest deterrent on the growth of world socialism, but ac tually and significantly has foster ed and encouraged it almost every where our money has gone. This is a vital point to remember in any discussion of foreign aid: our hard-earned money is not being sent to people overseas, it is being sent to governments. There are .strings attached to the money, and the governments use American dol lars not to assist businessmen in private enterprise, not to assist the needy who need food, clothing, shel ter, but to assist government-owned industries that are in bitter and unfair competition with our busi nessmen. Here are some examples; We have given Sweden eight- seven million dollars in economic aid since the end of World War II. Sweden is admittedly socialist ini its government The government owns the communicatkm.s sytems, such as telephone, telegraph and railroads. The government owns the sources of hydro-electric power. Companies owned directly or in- rectly by the government play a dominant role tn the fields of min-! ing, iron, steel, oil and banking —in short, in all the fields where our foreign aid money is spent. The same applies to Norway, where we hhve spent two hundred and thirty-six million dollars to. strengthen the socialistic monopoly. The case of Austria is even more' startling. Despite the fact that Aus tria was an enemy nation in World War II, we have given her more than a thousand million dollars to rebuild her economy — and that j economy is so socialistic that the| government controls 90 per cent of the country’s output of raw mate rials and basic products. Italy—another enemy nation in the war—has received two and one- half million dollars of our money. Hera again the Communist Party is : a strong political factor, and its strength is increased by the grow-: ing socialization of the nation’s 1 economy. India has been widely advertised as a ‘neutral’ country in the cold war. Her governmental philosophy, however, is far from neutral. It may interest you to know that as recently as 1954 the Indian Govern ment went on record, by passing an official resolution, that ‘the ob jective of the economic policy should be a socialistic pattern of so ciety.’ In India the government has extended into every important field of industry Despite all this, we have given more than two hundred and sixteen million dollars to India in foreign aid grants—not including even larger aid disguised as so- called ‘sales' of our surplus farm products. We have shoveled out our money by the bilhons of dollars—and it has been spent for their own ad vancement by those who are sworn to destroy freedom. How foolish our policy has been! And how danger ous! As Eugene W Castle observes in his book. “The Great Giveaway,” “TTie American taxpayer is coming to know less about what his gov ernment is doing with more and more of his money ” Americans were sold on foreign aid as the basis of help to the needy It is time to realize that the needy are not being"helped * • • I attended the ceremonies at the ground-breaking for our Southeast ern Aimoic plant at Parr, South Carolina. It was a very significant occasion and it is not a step for ward, but a long leap It marks a progressive course in the South and is truly a • great adventure in faith. ' ti You will recall the observation of the Apostle Paul, that we walk by faith not by sight. And we must not think that faith is a quality or an attitude merely religion in a re stricted sense: lakh is the dominant and motivating element in all great achievements Carolinas-Virginia Nuclear Pow er Associates is a group organized to construct the southeast’s first atomic power project. Member companies include the Carolina Power & Light Company, Duke Power Company, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company and Vir ginia Electric and Power Company. These great and successful en terprises are not resting on their oars, or surpassing accomplish ments: they are looking years ahead and investing nearly twenty- five million dollars to prepare for the future, that time when oil ajrfd coal and gas may be set aside and electric power generated by urani um, or its derivatives. In that occasion we see the faith of our fathers, the bewildering faith that prompted Abraham to leave all his kindled and go into a new field And so with these great com panies which sponsored and are building this notable enterprise of faith, hope and progress. Our own South Carolina com pany. the South Carolina Electric and Gas Co., was the host of the big ground-breaking, and its presi dent, S. C. McMeekin, is now presi dent of the new company which is building the atomic plant. Although Mr. McMeekin has many great achievements to com memorate his surpassing service to the state, I [wonder if his heart did not feel a' special thrill at this new enterprise, this venture into the higher realms of applied sci ence. in the community in which he was born and reared. He left the farm in that rugged, hilly area and went to Clemson College—a Fairfield lad with dreams and with ! the grit and unwavering zeal to I consummate his purpose. I am deeply interested in this ! undertaking, of course, just as I re joice at every constructive effort. But the man and the men interest me above all else Just imagine how proud Clemson must be of this stu dent of years ago who received his training w engineering there and went out into the big world to grow into the full stature of indus trial genius * * * ‘ A lamp unto my feet . . .” As I recall, a great man of let ters. in his last days said, “Bring me The Book ’’ What book? “The Book, the Bible,” that means “The Book ” .And so it is and has been “The Book.’ ’the authority for Je hovah's dealing with men; the ac count of the life and words of Jesus. The Bible is not a book of sci ence. it tells us that “In the begin ning God created the Heaven and the earth.” We cah accept that and believe in the Infinite Being who passes all understanding, just as does the "Peace of God,” as St Paul tells us. Did you ever stop to think that we could not understand even if God should tell us how and why and when God made the woHd. We who do not underatand even the daily processes of digestion and the intricacies of metabolism and all the perplexing problems of Path ology that so baffle even our learn ed men of medicine, we could not grasp more than Moses told us Do you recall that Jesus once said, when asked for details about Heaven. “If you do not understand when I tell you of earthly things Joanno Western Delays Purchase Joanna—The Daily News Ret ord, textile trade publication, sa.-i Burial was in Forest Lawn ( eme- Adair street for tl 09. love and af- i final discharge from my tru* tery. i LIFE INSURANCE MEN MEET feetkn. vjj.

Thornweil Racks Up Seventh For Season The Thornweil Gophers ripped through visiting Ridge Springs here Friday night 20-0 to take its seventh win against three losses. Senior Fullback Gorden Timmons was the big gun for the Gophers as he gained 190 yards in 17 plays and pushed his season point total to 102 with a touchdown and two extra points during the evening. Howard Higginbotham got things rolling for the Gophers in the first period with a 35-yard sprint around end for the initial six points. A run by Timmons was good for the extra point and Thornweil led 7-0. the score at halftime In the second hall, Timmons opened the scoring by breaking loose for 65 yards off tackle. He added the point after with a drop kick. Timmons also had a hand in the final touchdown as he passed 20 yards to Higginbotham. Timmons aided the 85 yard scoring drive with a 45 yard run. His kick for the point was no good Gus Folk led the defensive ef fort for the Gophers. Clyde George and Roy Rawlins were also out standing on defense.
