COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
Are we a religious people? Do we really believe in God?
Does it seem out of place for a journalist and radio com
mentator to ask such questions or to discuss such funda
mentals?
Do we think today that real religion has no part in the
every day affairs? Do we think “Business is business and
religion is something apart from it”?
If you walk through a cemetery would you think that our
practicality is for six days and a bit of perfunctory church
attendance and service for the seventh?
We can’t leave our religion to the women and the preach
ers ; mother nearly died for us once; she can’t die for us
next time; nor can any preacher di( for us; we piust face
that ourselves and alone.
We all have Bibles; it adorns every home and lies on the
table in great reverence, frequently unopened.
What does The Book tell us? Time after time, incident
after incident, the hand of God was seen in the affairs of
His people. That is when they sought His guidance and
obeyed His commandments.
Those people in the Bible were men of flesh and blood;
they were men who loved and were loved; they had friends
and families, children and grandchildren; they had ambition
and aspiration; some had great possessions; some had noth-

Cotton and Textiles«
Althomgh each Senator must do
his utmost to keep up with all
legislation which comes before the
Congress, to be effective in his
representation of his constituency,
he must select certain areas of
legislative action on which tc con
centrate. In determining what
these areas should be, the econo
my of his home State is a major
considerations.
In South Carolina, textiles is
the largest industry. In fact,
South Carolina is not only the
largest textile production State,
but it has almost one-third of the
entire domestic textile production.
As of July 4, 1959, there was a
total of 20.3 million spindles of
textile production in the United
States, of which 6.6 million spin
dles were in South Carolina. Any
national policy which affects tex
tiles therefore affects South
Carolina more than any other
state.
Historically, South Carolina has
been a major producer of cotton.
Although we have lost ground
comparatively in recent years, cot
ton-growing is still a major item
in our economy.
Two national policies have been
major handicaps to both textiles
and cotton production. These are
our foreign trade and “two-part”
cotton programs.
We are all well aware that the
economy of the entire country de
pends materially on foreign trade.
Our economy is geared to the pro
duction of more than we can con
sume domestically. UndSr the
leadership of former Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, the United
States inaugurated a program of
“reciprocal trade.” Since the be
ginning of the program, it has lost
a great portion of its reciprocal
nature. To be successful, a trade
program must be truly recipro
cal, and it must be shaped in such
a way as to prevent our domes
tic industries from being destroy
ed by low-wage imports. I recent
ly requested the Commerce De
partment to compile statistics on
the treatment of U. S. textiles by
foreign countries which have tex
tile industries of their own. The
information received reveals that
our trade program is largely a
one-way street as far as textiles
are concerned. Foreign countries
are protecting their textile indus
tries with tariffs, quota'* and cur
rency manipulations. Such coun
tries include Japan, India and the
United Kingdom, which are ex
porting great quantities of tex
tiles to the U. S. I plan to make
an address to the Senate on this
matter very shortly.
On August 1, 1959, the price
differential on cotton increased
to 8c per pbund. This means that
a domestic manufacturer must
pay 8c more for cotton, either do
mestic or foreign, than his for
eign competitor. As one result,
the Ainerican textile industry is
having to shift to the production
of synthetics, providing less and
less market for cotton.
The Natonal Cotton Council has
filed a petition with the Secretary
of Agriculture for relief from this
impossible situation. The Council
includes cotton growers, ginners,
merchants, warehousemen, seed
crushers and spinners. The peti
tion points out that the price dif
ferential, when combined with
low-wage foreign imports, is mak
ing it impossible for our textile
industry to stay in business and
provide employment for the more
than a million workers in textile
and related industries.
Unless some relief from the in
equities in our trade program is
granted, the entire structure of
the program might well fall
apart. Although textiles is the
most hard hit, even such major
industries as steel and automo
biles are feeling the pinch.
Lumber Freight Rates
Another vital industry in South
Carolina’s economy is lumber and
lumber products. This industry is
also suffering badly from Govern
ment policies. West coast lumber
has a natural advantage of cheap
er production, while the South
has traditionally enjoyed an ad
vantage of proximity to the ma
jor eastern markets. Freight rate
policies by the Interstate Com:
merce Commission have all but
completely wiped out our advan
tage by juggling the freight rates,
making it almost^as cheap to ship
lumber the long distance from the
west coast to the east coast as it
is to ship the short distance from
the South to the East. At a hear
ing on the nomination of ICC com
missioners’ appointments, Senator
Smathers and I brought up this
matter. I believe that the ICC will
shortly make a complete study of
the discriminatory lumber freight
rates.
Sincerely,
Strom Thurmond.

The William Lester Chapter of
the U.D.C. will meet Friday, Sep
tember 4th at 3:30 with Mrs. John
Stockman, hostess.
Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Lowman
attended the wedding of their
daughter, Mrs. Leona Koon of
Columbia to Mr. Yoder Fulmer of
Aiken, son of Mr. and Mrs. S, Y.
Fulmer of Columbia, formerly of
Prosperity. The wedding ceremony
took place at St. Andrews Luth
eran Church of Columbia, Satur
day evening at seven o’clock.
They will make their home in
mg; some were hardy, vigorous and resourceful; some were
weak and sickly; some died young; some died in old age;
but all died; all are dead. After life’s fever they die, soon in
unremembered graves.
Where are the once mighty Babylonians and Chaldeans?
Where are the invincible armies of Alexander the Great?
Where are the fabulous Persians of Cyrus? Where is the all-
embracing power of the Caesars? And the remarkable sway
of Napoleon? The terrible and dreaded might of Hitler? All
gone, but the Heavens declare the glory of God and the fir
mament showeth His handiwork.
Did you ever hear the hymn:
The unwearied sun from day to day, doth its creator’s
power display; and publishes in every land, the work of an
Almighty hand?
Using all the foregoing as a basis what think you of frat
ernizing with people who repudiate God and would destroy
our religion? Are we afraid of an earthly power? Is Russia
stronger than Heaven? Or is Russia so much nearer than
Heaven that our sense of expediency overrides all spiritual
considerations?
The Bible abounds in instances wherein the hand of Je
hovah pushed aside the embattled armies of the’most vig
orous and aggressive nations and saved the weak people of
the Most High.
This isn’t a sermon, nor am I a preacher. As just an or
dinary reader of the Scriptures I see how the practical
men of the ages were humbled and crushed because mere
physical resistance does not usually suffice to defeat greater
physical power.
Throughout the ages there has been a more enduring
force than mere physical power. We pay lip service to the
august Maker and Ruler of all the World but set Him aside
for the glitter and glamor of brute and mechanical means,
as though all the Universe and all its elements were not the
work of His hand and the expression of His omnipotence.
With Jehovah man has all the resources of Science today
and hereafter; all the things yet undiscovered and every
new application of known elements. But thrusting only in
what man knows, or can see or imagine he commits and con-
'ines himself to meet the enemy toe-to-toe in mere compara
tive and competitive battle.
