COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.” When I was a boy in school in Charleston we were taught quite a bit about early American heroism; the great leaders of our early national life were notable and nobles examples for us little boys. All that has changed to day. As I now read it almost appears that we were mis taken in our profound apprecia tion of those well-meaning and sturdy characters: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Rutledge, Madison and a score of others Today we have such great and noble statesmen as Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Adlai Stevenson. Those learned and patriotic men have upturned our History and our Constitution. Recently I saw this in the daily papers: “The RIGHT of the U’. S. to defend its security is an chored in the U.N. charter.” Well, now; would you believe it? I thought the right of the United States to defend its security was a natural right, an inherent right, a solemn duty of any American Government. But we are all in the wrong road; it is the U.N. charter, the useless, faltering U. N. Charter that gives us the right to defend our national security. So you see: before we can de fend our security we may need the consent or permission of the Unit ed Nations, eh? Honduras, Nicar agua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Portu gal, Belgium, India—and others! For a long time I have spoken i of the utter futility of the United' Nations organization, but here comes an official spokesman for our nation and tells the Russian Ambassador that our right to de fend our national security is “an chored in the U.N. charter.” Now we see the natural result of our lilly-fingered diplomacy, a dip- lomancythat allows Russia to send 70 shiploads of war material to Cuba—at our doors—material really meant for use against us! What did we do when Russia stole Hungary, Rumania, Poland, Chechoslovakia, . and other coun tries? We gladly consented and i threw in about two thirds of Ger many for good measure. Now this great monster, which likewise has enveigled colossal China into Communism, sits in judgment on us and threatens war if we defend our rights in Cuba! My! My! Isn’t the world topsy- turvy? Where are we? A brief statement about our re lations with Cuba might throw a light on the question: During the period 1890 and 1898 Cuba, then belonging to Spain, was under a harsh, despotic rule of Spanish Governors. In February of 1898 the United States cruiser Maine was in Havana harbor and was sunk, apparently -by the Spanish. The United States declared war against Spain and sent troops to Cuba. That was when the illus trious Theodore Roosevelt went over with his Rough Riders. We won the war, sinking the Spanish fleet incidentally, as it tried to escape from Santiago harbor. We re-organized the government of Cuba; made it a prosperous na tion; and then voluntarily left giving Cuba to the Cubans and adopting an agreement to protect Cuba and guarantee its indepen dence against the world. That is how Cuba happens to be a free country.' Americans invested heavily in Cuba became prosperous. About 10 years ago Batista, the President of Cuba, a friend of the Americans, though a man enrich ed notably as President. Although Batista probably took far more than his share the country was rich and prospering. Now we, with our usual lack of sound judgment helped oust Batista and make Castro Presi dent. You see the result of our are cordially invited to OPEN HOUSE at Newberry Federal to inspect our newly renovated quarters, on THURSDAY, Oct. 18th, 1962 . . 5 to 6:30 p.m. CURRENT DIVIDEND RATE PER ANNUM (Compounded Semi-Annually) 1808 OOX.1.BOB STBBBT, NHWEEHRY, ».

As you see, Cuba owes it all to us; and we protect Cuba against all the world. When Castro turned against us he made friends with Russia. We saw Cuba moving into Russia’s sphere of influence; we did no-i thing; our idle dreamers have | waited and waited, hoping for | some kind of miracle, as though we could sit back and ask the Lord | to send lightning to destroy Cas tro and his followers. We took our one talent and buried it in the ground, as you will recall, the Parable of the Talents. And now the most notorious robber and tyrant in our modern life, the despotic group that en slaved Russia, then Poland, then Hungary, etc., that band of rob bers tells us that Russia will fight us if we enter Cuba! My word! Look at this as a matter-of mil itary strategy: Millions of patriots in Hungary, Poland, Germany, Ru mania, and other countries, would rise against Russia, if she became entangled with us on this side— four thousand miles from home! Do you think Russia would take a chance like that? And there is China, itching to take a crack at Russia! The great need of America is a man, a real man, in the presidency —and a group of real men as ad visers. Last week I mentioned that vast sums of money stand to the credit 1 of the United States Treasury in many parts of the world. That money is as much a part of our Treasury as the money we remit to Washington for Personal and Corporate Income taxes. But, in order to draw money from Wash ington there must be an appro priation made by Congress; then there must be a warrant on the treasury. Our Constitution pre scribes that, you know. But those heavy balances held in Europe are being spent, willy-nilly, by Con gressmen, and probably others, travelling in Europe. No warrant on the treasury is needed; a cable from the State department is suf ficient. This looks to me like a gross perversion of the law and the accountability of the Treas ury so I wrote to the Comptroller of the United States and I quote his reply: “Dear Mr. Breedin: Reference is made to your com munication of September 6, 1962, relative to a newspaper article concerning the travels of a cer tain member of Congress. The need or occasion for such travel, the amount to be expended therefor, and the source of funds for paying the expenses involved are primarily for determination of the Congress or appropriate com mittees there of. Accordingly, this office would not be warranted in taking action in the matter. The Constitution of the United States says: “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Ac count of the Receipts and Expen ditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” In view of this can Congress authorize withdrawals of public money, without an Act in due form? Can the State department lawfully authorize use of Treas ury money without a specific ap propriation ? I consulted the Comptroller General because I though he was the watchman in the tower. BuU not so; he can observe and object to a hundred dollars of excess charge for travel by a clerk, but he has no jurisdiction in this free use of Federal money, held in trust in our Embassies abroad. I went to Pickens county recent ly and spent a couple of days in the vicinty of Pumpkin Town. But I saw no pumpkins up there. I did expect to see a lot of fine ap ples and saw one apple tree in my brother’s yard, full of red apples. I remarked several times about those red apples, but my brother did not swallow the bait: he did not offer me an apple, nor did he encourage me to inspect the tree at close range. I am still wonder ing if those were wax apples, col ored red, as a sort of garden orna ment. I was told that X had great stores of apples in the city of Pickens, but I didn’t find X. In fact my visit to Pickens was en riched by my visit to Mrs. Hiott and her son in the office of The Pickens Sentinel—one of our new siest county papers. Pickens coun ty has two excellent papers, the other being in Easley. As I travelled toward Anderson, homeward bound, taking the long way so as not to get lost in a hundred roads in every direction, I came to Liberty, S. C. There I saw apples, a man with apples by the side of the road. I stopped and bought a couple of pecks; and as I turned off from him I said: “Well, I’ve found Pickens apples.” He said “These is North Galina apples, from near the Virginia line.” Now there you are—North Car olina apples! I verily believe now that those beautiful red apples I saw in my brother’s yard are a wax exhibit.

If I saw no apples in Pickens (I leave in dispute the matter of wax apples) I am no “worse off” than in going over Whale Branch, time after time, and seeing no whale.
