COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
The State is collecting one-cent-a-gallon on gasoline for
farm-to-market roads. .It seems to me that this one-cent
tax is due solely and exclusively for that purpose and
should not be side-tracked and diverted even to pay debts;
certainly not to co^er new or additional expenses.
A so-called farm-to-market road is not used exclusively
by farmers; almost everybody uses those roads. It may be
true that more people travel the farm-to-market roads than
those who use the main arteries of traffic, at least if we
think of our own South Carolina people. And even thous
ands of big trucks and tanks now use farm-to-market roads.
This bit of verse just about tells the story:
AMERICA SPEAKS
(By H. I. Phillips)
To met both ends I seldom can
(But Pm a help to Pakistan) ;
It’s hard to keep my shirt and pants
(But after all, I’m fond of France) ;
I guess I’ll have to break my lease
(I must cooperate with Greece) ;
Hedged in by debts quite vast I am
(But I.must not neglect Siam).
The wolf from door L can’t repel
(Still I must help keep Burma well) ;
By Tuesday I am out of dough
(Malaya’s feeling better, though) ; ,
My dollar very little buys
(But Egypt’s safer, I surmise) ;
My own financial outlook’s murky
(But still my heart belongs to Turkey).
I’m busted, flat, and feeling blue
(But I’m a pal of Timbukto) ;
We're adding breadcrumbs to our hash
(Who cares? Ain’t Tito short of cash?) ;
The sheriff’s knocking on my door
(However, England’s asking more) ;
I’m in a hole, but feeling noble****
I wish things were not quite so global!”
And that’s almost the truth. Of all the utter foolishness
ever foisted on our taxpayers this “foreign” aid is about
the most absurd. Notwithstanding the utter folly of the
scheme we still haven’t enough common sense to throw
that program out.
There is one way to make America safe and that is to be
strong here, with our fighting power based here but ready
to go anywhere, suitably aided by the navy.
S.-
I offer a bit of sound observation on so-called “integra
tion.” I agree with those who think our Colored people
should seek to develop their race as a race.
When politicians meddle with serious and fundamental
concerns they are likely to becloud the issue, enrage every
body and end by stirring up an upheaval that may be cala
mitous.
“Could anything more clearly answer the question as to
whether or not the theory of racial equality and civil rights
tend to solve the race problem, than the experience of
Haiti? Does anything more emphatically demonstrate that
a color question and ^ problem of race cannot be eliminated
even in a mongrelized country?
In Haiti the doctrine of the equality of races is an ac
cepted fact by everyone, and yet they cleave unwaveringly to
the color line. In Haiti everyone has long since had his civil
rights, and yet the bar of color is raised on all sides. In
Haiti mongrelization has been effected, and the problem of
race remains.
Clearly it is to be seen that the race issue cannot be solv
ed by. either equalitarian propaganda or by any law, court
decree, executive order or by mongrelization itself.
The lesson of Haiti should provide a clear cut example of
the ultimate failure of racial integration and mortgreliza-
tion as any solution of the race issue, looking toward the
establishment of national unity and the general welfare
of the American people.
But tragically, the doctrine of racial equality, integra
tion and civil rights has now so effectively captured the
leadership of both major political parties in this country,
that they may be considered the most dominating forces
in American politics.
• The question of whether or not white civilization can
survive in the United States is of no importance to those
who are in control of these parties, through the politically
contrived philosophies of ‘Modern Republicanism’ and
‘Democratic Liberalism’. Each intent only on gaining na
tional political ascendancy over the other, they have reach
ed an identicalness of purpose, that in effect creates a single
gigantic socialist party in America; now deliberately dedi
cated to the subjugation of the white people of the South,
and the nation through an enforced program of desegrega
tion under oppressive civil rights laws. Obviously this is
t : 'v'only the first step in a plan to bring all of the people in the

Strengthening State Government
According to an old principle of science, mature abhors
a vacuum. This same principle applies to government. When
the State and local governments are unable or unwilling to
provide the services the people want, the Federal govern
ment, sooner or later, moves in to fill the blank space.
If the States are to retain their rightful place in our dual
system of government, they must have the tax revenue nec
essary to perform needed services. Otherwise, the Federal
government will exercise the powers that should be left to
the States.
The Senate took an important step toward bolstering the
power of State governments last week, when it passed my
bill (S. 6) to clarify and redefine the tax status of private
contractors doing work for the U. S. Government.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that it was legal for pri
vate contractors, under certain conditions, to be classed as
“purchasing agents” for the Federal government. Since
State governments cannot levy taxes on the Federal govern
ment, these “purchasing agents” enjoy immunity from
State and local taxes.
Last week, in a decision relating to the local tax status
of a government contractor, the Supreme Court pointed out
that the Congress should make the difficult policy decisions
in this border-line area, between State and Federal sover
eignty. My bill, which removes the cloak of Federal tax im
munity from the holders of “purchasing agent” contracts,
represents an effort by Congress to make such a policy
decision.
It has been estimated that the bill would produce about
$2,800,000 a year to the State of South Carolina in additional
tax revenue.
Civil Rights Commission
The Senate has confirmed the appointment of the mem
bers of the Civil Rights Commission. When this matter
came before the Senate, I went on record as opposing the
confirmation of the nominations, although I know some of
the members to be able and distinguished Americans.
I have many times stated the opinion that the Civil Rights
Act of 1957 is unnecessary, unwise and unconstitutional. I
stated to the Senate that I do not believe the Civil Rights
Commission can do any good, and that it may do a great deal
of harm. Also, it will incur unnecessary expense.
Therefore, I could not, in good conscience, vote for the
confirmation of any of the nominees.
Good News
Thfe House Armed Services Committee has passed a reso
lution calling on the Pentagon to restore the strength of
the National Guard to 400,000 men- and the Army Reserve
to 300,000. The Committee also asked that the Pentagon re
lease funds for the construction of training centers and arm
ories.
This is in accord with what I have long been working for.
I will continue to work vigorously to keep our Guard and
Reserves strong.
United States inescapably under the rule of an all powerful
centralized Federal Government.
This new reconstruction of the South points up the
same peculiar phenomenon of white thinking that has para
lyzed American unity almost from the very beginning of our
history. This is the failure of white men in every section
of this country, to heed the call for racial unity in a time of
peril, not for the purpose of dominating any other race, but
entirely as a means for the preservation of their own stock.
It is clear that neither the Republican Party nor the
Democratic Party, taken separately, or merged together,
has any interest, plan or intent to preserve our constitution
al Republic based on the sovereignty of the States and the
local freedoms of the people. The policies of both are based
on short range considerations unconcerned with the perpet
uation of American greatness.”
It is cheap politics mingled with ignorant and misguided
do-goodism.
