\ . WM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1959 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE FIVE Strom Murmond \a leimooooooooti V X RLE Trade and Aid For some years now a number of American indturtries, particul arly textile and plywood, have suf fered from competition of low- wage foreign imports. The atti tude of the Federal Government and those outside the hard-hit areas has been that only a few industries and a few jobs, com paratively speaking, were affect ed; and in the “common good,” these industries and persons could shift co new products and new lines of work. Recent events indicate that there may be reason to believe that both the people of the coun try and the Federal Government are changing their attitude. The change arises not from any clear er understanding of the difficul ties of the first industries affect ed or the workers who have lost their jobs already. Rather, the change is caused by the increas ing number of industries affected and the shift in our over-all bal ance of trade. The steel strike has played a major part in focusing attention •on the grave dangers to our entire economy from low-wage foreign products. The steel industry is feeling the first pangs of low- wage imports. Since 1959, imports of steel have increased from 300,- OOO tons to 1,700,000—a rise of 467%. The domestic manufacture of this steel would have provided employment for 30,000 Americans. But this is only half the story. During the same period, our ex ports have decreased 37% for a total of 1,600,000 tons. Last year we imported 83% more steel than we exported. In addition, more than 430,000 foreign cars were sold in the United States in 1958, which meant fewer jobs, not only in the automotive industry, but aalso in steel. The steel strike has permitted foreign producers to fhnd many new customers in the United States and in the world market generally. The principal factor responsible for our poor competitive position is the wage differential. The av erage wage of the U. S. Steel worker in 1958 was $3.03 per hour, compared to 72 cents in West Germany, 84 cents in Great Britain and 42 cents in Japan. Other factors contributing to our unfavorable competitive posi tion are our outmoded depreciation allowances and high taxes. Unreal istic reserves for replacement of worn-out or out-dated machinery. High taxes necessitate both high profits and wages. Americans have had to compete all along with low-wage foreign products, and until recent years have done so successfully despite the wage differentials. Historical ly, our competitive advantage has sprung from technical know-how and higher quality of skill. In the post-war period, the United States graciously shared our know-how with all nations, and even went so far as to send Am erican instructors to train foreign labor. At least temporarily, our technical know-how advantage has been largely erased. Despite all of our disadvantages, our situation would not be nearly so drastic were it not for other factors. Principal among these is our foreign aid program. Under this program, there is an outflow of dollars from the United States of about $2.5 billion per year. In addition, U. S. military expendi tures abroad have been running about $3 billion per year; and with the encouragement of the Government, there is an outflow of private capital of about $2 bil lion a year. Since our exports ex ceed our imports only about $4.5 billion per year, we are now ex periencing a net outflow of dol lars to the tune of about $3 bil lion per year. This is what has finally brought the attention of the Government to the fact that something must be done to change the situation, rather than the loss of jobs by American workers. Among other disadvantages with which our domestic producers h ave had to contend are trade barriers against U. S. exports ap plied while our import restric tions were being reduced or abol ished. Adminstration spokesmen have now called for a change in attitude by our foreign friends and for a relaxation of restric*- tions on U. S. exports. Also, they have called on our allies to share in supplying capital for the de velopment of poorer countries, which so far has been shouldered almost wholly by the United States. The change in attitude is heart ening, but, oh, so late and long overdue. No lukewarm or delicate approach by the United States will suffice. Drastic reductions in our foreign aid program are in order—much more drastic than made this year. Inflation must be checked, and the line against in creases in prices and general wages held. If our pleas for bet ter treatment of our exports are not productive, we have no alter native but to make our trade pro gram “reciprocal” by retaliating against offending countries with import restrictions of our own. Sincerely, Strom Thurmond. i; l GOOD SCOUTS . . . Explorer Scouts in Brighton, Mich., repay a HwH deed by working on a hospital construction project.

Gee FRIDAY, OCT. 23 West End School Whitmire Library Timber,.. Game... Water. ..all products of tree farming mm Last week our 4-H dairy Calf Club members proved their efforts during the year were not in vain. In stiff competition with several other counties our Newberry 4-H Dairy Calf Club made out all right at the Laurens County Fair. This week our Dairy Calf Club exhibits their animals at the New- berry-Saluda Fair. If you don’t get out on show day, at least get by sometime during the week and see their fine animals. Also give them an encouraging pat on the back. Getting ready and showing cattle takes a lot of work. But it’s all well worth while when your own animal is placed at the top of the class. What better way to keep our young folks interested in our important dairy industry than by being an active member of our County Dairy Calf Club? Let them know their efforts are worthwhile. Here’s how our member placed at Laurens: Jersey Show: Best Fitted Ani mal, David Sease, 4th. Showman ship, David Sease, 3rd, Tommy Bowers, 5th. Junior Calf, Judith Halfacre, 1st in Jr. and Open Show.

The first graded feeder pig sale to be attempted in this area was held at the Union Livestock Auc tion Barn last Friday. After the sale there were some satisfied farmers and some not too well satisfied. Good pigs brought fairly good prices and not so good pigs brought prices, that were disap pointing to the seller. Now let’s look at this thing in an honest manner. First of all, the entire hog market—from pigs to top hogs has been off consider ably the past few months. Feeder pigs sold at nearby auction mark ets the past few weeks have not brought farmers a profitable price. Therefore it was not expect ed that our first graded feeder pig sale would bring anything like the high prices of a year ago. The sale, we feel, did offer a market in what has been a rather unfavorable situation lately for feeder pigs. Let’s remember folks —the farmer’s products have nev er been over sold at the market. Now more than ever, quality, grade and volume become our guides to better marketing. In other words it will take a top quality pig or any other farm product to bring the top price at the market from now on. Oct. 14: Mrs. H. M.

Owners Urged To Get Tags Now Motor vehicle owners who still have not received an application form for obtaining their 1960 ve hicle licenses should apply to a Highway Department field office immediately and present their 1959 registration cards. Highway Department officials note that license renewal forms were mailed in September, and urge vehicle owners lybo still have not received their application blanks to report to the nearest Highway Department license field office. Using information from the 1959 registration card, Department clerks will prepare a 1960 registra tion card and issue the new lic ense in just a matter of minutes. License renewal forms were mailed in September to the last address of record and cannot be forwarded by the Post Office, of ficials explain. Motorists may still apply by mail to Columbia for a duplicate renewal form, giving his name, new mailing address and 1959 lic ense number, but the use of over- the-counter services available in 45 field offices is urged to avoid unnecessary, delay. However, motor vehicle owners who have lost their 1959 registra tion card must present their 1959 license number when applying for a renewal. Half of the month allotted for obtaining the 1960 motor vehicle tags has already passed and only 271,000 sets of licenses have been issued out of an estimated 736,- 000 sets. Long waiting lines of “early birds” at license issuing windows have disappeared since the new licensing period began over two weeks ago and now is the best time to obtain the new licenses. The Highway Department is now able to serve you with a minimum of delay and inconvenience, Depart ment officials concluded. MAYER MEMORIAL LUTH ERAN CHURCH • Daniel M.
