COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
Is the world about to stage a bitter and massive uprising
because of economic underdevelopment? I don’t think so;
some of our super-sensitive people are afflicted with acute
nervousness because there is want and sickness in many
parts of the earth.
A thoughtful student of affairs sent me a copy of an ad
dress by the Managing Director of the United Nations Spec
ial Fund. Just off-hand, I think the United Nations a more or
less useless organization. One can imagine that an accasion-
al meeting of delegates for general discussion of affairs
might be useful, just as I find it interesting and informative
to meet people from other countries. But the permanent or
ganization, with hundreds of officials becomes officious and
meddlesome.
How does this impress you:
“The members of the World Brotherhood conference were
unanimous in their view that if we had an open world today,
if people of all nations got to know each other better, it
would help to create a climate favorable to progress toward
peace. It is my personal belief that we should make commun
ications between us and the pieople behind the Iron and Bam
boo Curtains as free and easy as possible. We have made a
start with our cultural exchanges, but just a start. It seems
obvious to me that the more Russians, Chinese and other
presently insulated people see America and get to know
Americans, the better they will understand us. We should
reappraise the barriers we ourselves have erected against
travel and communications and we should keep unrelenting
pressure on the Russians to open up theirworld to communi
cation with the West.
Nearly twothirds of the world’s people, approximately
one billion six hundred million, live in countries and terri
tories which have an annual income per capita of less than
two hundred dollars. The estimated national income for these
countries and territories in the last year for which figures
are available was one hundred and eleven billion dollars, less
than ninety dollars per capita.
The total national income of the remaining people of the
world, those who live in the sixty-three countries and terri
tories with a per capita income of more than two hundred
dollars, was approximately eight hundred and eighty billion
dollars, or seven hundred and ninety-eight dollars per capita.
Included in this group of more prosperous countries are
many that pitifully poor, that by any standard we can con
ceive would be regarded as underdeveloped. A two hundred
dollar per capita income does not seem very glamorous when
compared with the $2,126 per capita income of the USA.
The most truly significant and persuasive fact of our
times is the revolt of the hundreds of millions of people in
the underdeveloped countries against the continued accept
ance of poverty, sickness and illiteracy as something to be
borne patiently because no other life could be imagined. This
is a revolt we should welcome but we should not overlook its
implications. There is not only unrest in the ‘have not’ coun
tries—there is explosive unrest. Economic advance will be
attempted, if not cooperatively, then violently. And it does
not need much political acumen to see that the violence will
not be confined to the underdeveloped countries; here at any
rate is a policy of containment that is not practicable. Should
the explosion come it will be disastrous in the countries with
millions of television sets as in those with none.
In order to dramatize the potential of the underdeveloped
markets in the underdeveloped countries let us assume for a
moment that the more advanced nations joined forces and
agreed to supply these nations with all the goods and ser
vices they could effectively use in speeding their develop
ment. What the value of these goods and services would be
I don’t know but I can make a reasonably intelligent guess.
I would estimate their value over a period of ten years (there
is no point in starting a program unless you are going to stay
with it for this length of time) at between 30 and 50 billion
dollars. The U. S. share would be between 20 and 33 billion.
Perhaps it is worth noting that some of these goods and ser
vices could be supplied from agricultural surpluses—some
from unused capacities in the industrial field.
Assuming, if I may, that you accept the fact that our ba
sic problem in the development of the underdeveloped coun
tries is a utilization of their physical and human resources,
the question is what is being done about it? Well, there are
numerous agencies working in this field including govern
ments, foundations and private groups. In the main they are
either lending agencies, such as the World Bank, or organi
zations offering technical Administration.
Now for a pleasant surprise for you over-burdened tax
payers. The Special Fund is a low-cost operation. Funds
available for our 1959 program are approximately 26 mil-
ions, of which the U. S. share will be 12 millions. In 1960
we hope to have 65 million, of which the U.S. share will be 40
million.”
Don’t you know hundreds of so-called under-privileged
people in our own State? Isn’t it true that many of the people
living very simply are our happiest people?
Isn’t a fact that, our American progidal spending has

BACK DOOR TO TREASURY
Representative Howard Smith
(D-Va., chairman of the powerful
House Rules Committe which con
trols the movement of legislation
in the \ House of Representatives,
has temporarily blocked House
action on the $5,800,000,000 omni
bus housing bill. I vigorously op
posed this bill when it passed the
Senate in February. Congressman
Smith’s position is the same as
mine. The bill calls for spending
far in excess of the nation’s needs
and is a backdoor approach to the
Treasury of the United States.
Congressman Smith and I are
the authors of House and Senate
bills respectively which—ifpassed
into law—will prevent the “back
door approach.” They would re
quire prior clearance by the ap
propriations committees of Con
gress before money measures
could be passed. Under existing
procedures, billions of dollars are
spent annually by many govern
ment agencies even though the
money has not been appropriated
DULLES WAS DEDICATED
John Foster Dulles, the nation’s
Secretary of State for more than
created a lot of dissatisfaction ? Can we impose either deve
lopment or the spirit of progress; or are those things mat
ters of long and painful striving? Life has to be digested, we
might say. People overcome their difficulties by strenously
striving to improve conditions by their own efforts.
Consider the Indian, whether in Alaska, Canada, the Uni
ted States, Mexico, Central America or South America. Has
he responded to the beckoning opportunities? Is he about to
take up arms because of his lowly estate?
I’ve known the Indian of South America; he wants very
little, bue he wants to be let alone. Our do-gooders are busy-
bodies, not constructive workers. Undoubtedly they mean
well, but people must grow; all around the world are fabu
lously rich people, living in neighborhoods of abject squalor.
Why try to unload on the United States?
Even in France and Italy the masseslive very simply, but
are happy if not oppressed by meddlesome bureaucrats.
Throughout the United States are men, women and chil
dren having very little; we do not have to chase some wil o
the wisp all over the,earth in a freckless splurge of useless
spending.
What makes America so great? Did we receive billions of
dollars from Europe in the days of our under-development ?
Did Europe have any “foreign-aid” for us, or such a thing as
“lease-lend”, and all the other excuses for throwing away
money ?
How’s this:
“What new products and processes are industrial re
searchers readying in their labs?
Aluminum car wheels. Tents, sleeping bags and raincoats
made of paper lined with nylon. Odorless cooking. Lighter
plastic eyeglasses. Trouble-free and smaller television sets.
Inexpensive disposable artificial lungs for heart surgery. An
automatic bowling pin cleaner. A new process to remove im
purities from natural gas. New thermo-electric appliances
with no moving parts. Novel ice cream flavors, such as cher
ry tart.
The researchers also are developing new chemical com
pounds to keep milk from souring, increase tomato yields,
treat ulcers, tranquilize and fatten cattle, energize humans,
put more zip in fuels and battle athlete’s foot. And intensi
fied attempts are under way to synthesize cholorphyll, make
plastics as tough as metals, probe more deeply into funda
mental matter and gravity and find out how a living cell
works.
These new products, processes and laboratory projects,
which turned up in a Wall Street Journal survey of more
than 100 companies, are only a sample of the myriad re
search and development undertakings of private industry.
Although companies in highly-competitive fields are ex
tremely secretive about details of their work and the time**
tables for marketing the fruits of their technological a-
chievements, it’s clear from their reports that 1959 will see
a heavy flow of such projects into commercial applications.
More important, companies’ plans tostep up non-military out
lays, expand facilities and emphasize basic research pro
gram promise an acceleration of scientific and technological
breakthroughs in future years.”
Here is something in clear, siipple form, but eminently
sound:>
“What is capitalism? It is the belief and practice that by
accumulating better tools and equipment, production can be
increased suffering relieved and poverty conquered. It is the
further belief that tools, equipment and men are more pro
ductive under a system of private ownership. History and
human experience show this belief tobe true.
If men are assured of theright to enjoy the fruits of their
labor they will work hard, live economically and save for the
future. These savings flow into better tools and equipment
as production of wealth mounts higher and higher.
No doubt many sensitive souls are called to be property
less prophets, to live from breaking off the head of grain
sown by the thrifty farmers and to be entertained in the
most worthy homes whereever they go. Friars pledged to
poverty played a large role in the propagation of Christian
ity. But in order for a few men to be thus effective we must
have many men who give much attention to the production
of wealth.
History and theory unite to show that under government
ownership of the means of production the standard of living
is low, freedom almost non-existent and coercion and slavery
widespread. If we give up capitalism and abandon the means
of accumulating tools and industrial equipment, we shall re
turn gradually to a more primitive handicraft age. It is prob
able that the world could not support more than one quarter
of its present population under that system. Surely it would
not be Christian to return to grinding poverty, the liquida
tion of the less able and survival of only those who were
strong enough to maintain themselves under primitive con
ditions of suffering”.
six years, has been a topic of dis
cussion among people throughout
the world. Many disagreed with
him, but none questioned his dedi
cation and devotion to the job of
keeping peate in the world while
at the same time combating the
world’s conspiracy of communism.
I differed with his policy per
mitting excessive textile imports
to the detriment of the domestic
industry, and my record in opposi
tion to inefficiency and lack of
realism in foreign aid has been
stated before; however, on the
question of standing firm against
the Communistic threat and refus
ing to accept promises in place of
deeds, I have always supported
Mr. Dulles. Few Secretaries of
State have been better prepared
for their, roles in world affairs
and few have given more of their
time and talents in performing
their duties.
A SENATOR’S THOUGHTS
Soutk Carolina’s daily newspap
er editors attended the annual
convention of the American So
ciety of Newspaper Editors held
here over the week-end. In wel
coming many of them to the na
tion’s capital, I was reminded of
how fortunate our State is in hav
ing many able and sound editorial
writers to guide public opinion in
South Carolina—men who believe
in giving their readers the clear
picture and not a blurred or bias
ed one . . . Washington is a beaut
iful city this time of year. The
cherry, blossoms have been in
bloom much of the month, and it
becomes increasingly evident why
our nation’s capital ranks as ohe
of the prettiest in the world . . .
It was a privilege to speak brief
ly to the Senate Subcommittee
on constitutional rights last week
following the observations of Gov
ernor Hollings and other distin
guished South Carolinians on pro
posed so-called civil rights legisla
tion. I told members of the sub
committee that these leaders of
the State are the real spokesmen
for the people and that their vieWs
on these anti-South bills .represent
the thinking of at least 90 per cent
of the people in our State.
