With very few exceptions, the govern- have ghown that at timea signatures are

or other such methods.
What is at stake here is the Right-to-
to pay union dues whether he likes it or
not, is it too much to ask for a sercet bal
lot to make sure'the union at least has
majority support?”
There is nothing anti-union ip this. It
would make it accurately and truly known
whether any group of woricers want or do
not want union representation. This is
beyond cavil, a basic right, and so is the
..aut£!
are several factors which would seem to
guarantee that job-training by private in
dustry will be more effective and also more
economical.
There’s the experience factor for one
thing; private industry has been giving
job training in one way or another ever
since the first master craftsman took on
his first apprentice. There’s a more defi
nite purpose in a private industry’s train
ing program, and an interest in high-qual
ity training, because a company knows just right of choice to join or not join,
what skills its workers need. It wants to
be sure that the trainee can do work that
will meet company standards. About the
only way a government-run job-training
program can readily, measure its perform
ance is by the number of people pushed
through the course. The number of train
ees, rather than the quality of training,
happens also to be the basis in a govern
ment program for hiring additional in
structors and raising the pay of the direc
tor.
Although this new bill to encourage job
training in private industry was introduced
by a group of Republican Congressmen, it
doesn’t strike us as being in any sense a
partisan proposal (except, perhaps, to
someone with a political prejudice against
private enterprise). We’re confident that,
given the chance, private industry will do
far better at job training than any govern
ment agency has done or can do, for the
simple reason that a private employer
wants to train a man to do a job, not just
to get one.
It’s been our observation that the man
wants to train a man to do a job, not just
about where to get one.
Notice
Apparently General Wessin, late of the
Dominican Republic, just didn’t get the
message. He declined Uncle Sam’s offer
of $50,000 for his house and a vacant lot
in Santo Domingo, as much as to say that
he intended to go on living there. So what
happened? He was evicted by Uncle Sam’s
agents who, it turned out, weren’t real es
tate agents interested in houses and lots,
but US State Department and CIA agents
who, the general should have known, are
more interested in coups and plots.
With the anti-Communist General Wes
sin out of the country, the way now seems
clear for Juan Bosch and his various Marx
ist entourage to set themselves up in power
Babson’s Point of View
On Mississippi River’s
Unknown Discoveries
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., September 23—Every
place and everything has its advantages and Its
disadvantiges. Many tmies we have been asked
where are the best places to live in the United
States. Among favored spots we have mentioned
is Baton Rouge. Louisiana. Yet it was only a
few days ago that the latest hurricane wreaked
tremendous losses on the people of New Orleans.
New Orleans is only a few miles from Baton.
Rouge. Certainly this must look peculiar to the
many people to whom we have mentioned fa-
vorabily the city of Baton Rouge. However, we
still firmly believe in that city.
DO NOT OVERLOOK THE VALUE
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
The greatest drainage area in the United
States is along the Mississippi River. Three-
quarters of the rain which falls on the U. S.
brings something of value to the states of Lou
isiana and Mississippi and adjoining territory.
The Mississippi brings down to the Gulf of
Mexico the best loam in the United States. This
loam has made a most valuable soil, which is
now being developed by thousands of citizens
whose ancestors settled on this peninsula. First
they cut down the woodland and then they re
drained lands hat were suitable for farming.
And the richest land in the United States is be
tween Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Yet in
reading about the latest hurricane "Betsy”, a
person might think that this section of the Unfed
States would be a dangerous place to invest mon
ey. We believe this would be a distorted point
of view.
Most people invest only in what they see.
Although this is a trait that all of us have to a
certain extent, it unfortunately means that too
many will discover only what’s In the headlines.
This is especially true today concerning what is
coming down the Mississippi River every day
and every night. The most valuable soils in the
whole nation—being washed down the Mississip
pi River—contain certain minerals and chemicals
which have still undiscovered powers for nour
ishing and revitalizing the human body. Millions
of people may one day be strengthened by this
now untapped wealth.

Hackneyed
In Medieval Engird, large magnificent horses were
trained to he ridden id battle. The smaller ones were
called “hackneys,” from Hackney, a place in Middle
sex. Since they were not of the size or quality to be
war horses, the hackneys did ordinary work such as
pulling carriages or other conveyances.
The horses that pulled the carriages generally wore
out fast, therefore “hackney also acquired the meaning
of “a worn-out horse.”
Next, the name was applied to any hired drudge,
especially in the field of writing—and from hackney
came the adjective “hackneyed,” meaning trite or worn
out.

A Bask Right
The battle to save section 14(b) of the
taft-Hartley Act—the section which au
thorizes states to pass Right-to-Work laws
forbidding compulsory union membership
as a condition of employment—has not
been lost, even though repeal has passed
the House. Every legitimate effort is be
ing made to save this protection of the
worker in the Senate.

dues to a union or join the hungry ranks

WHAT WE LEARNED AT COLLEGE
We learned many things when in college . . .
but the principal thing was that there are more
valuable resources unknown today than there
are known. This could well apply to waste In the
Gulf of Mexico. • ‘ -
We still feel that great discoveries lie ahead
for the drug companies. Even though the stocks
of such concerns are very high, they surely have
appeal for "the long pull”. Who knows what op
portunities will be found by the drug companies
that examine the components now going to waste
in the Gulf of Mexico. Baton Rouge will over
come the losses given by "Betsy”. It may well
grow to be one of the richest and most useful
cities in these United States. We advise owners
of land in this part of Louisiana not to be dis
couraged. Think of the way Florida has suffered
in the past successive tropical storms . . . and
of bow she has risen each time to new heights of
prosperity.
