For many years American for
eign policy has absorbed all of the
other policies and problems of
our government. The end result is
that we do not have firm and ef
fective domestic policies because
our foreign policy continues to
flop and flounder in a welter of
glaring inconsistencies. Thus the
president watered down his recent
Captive Nations proclamation to
the point where it was impossible
to tell whether he was talking a-
bout Angola, Albania, or Viet
Nam. The proclamation failed to
mention Communism of the Soviet
Union. Obviously, the President
wanted to avoid any offense to
Khrushchev’s sensibilities on the
eve of the testing negotiations.
What motivates a foreign policy
like ours? Why is the President
so eager to sign a nuclear pact
with Soviet Russia?
Probably because of a mixture
of nobility of character in really
wanting peace and some political
ambition in wishing to be a suc
cessful President and show that his
foreign policy, which has been
much criticized in the past, is
really sound at bottom.
Khrushchev gives us the im
pression that he is interested in
reaching a nuclear agreement with
us because he has nothing to lose.
If he gets an agreement he ob
viously has a chance to catch up
with the United States by cheat
ing, if he can, under a test ban.
If he gets no agreement, then he
can throw the blame on the United
States and say, once more, that
we are a nation of war mongers.
The Administration seems sure
that the Soviets are mellowing be
cause of their differences with the
Red Chinese over a policy of
“peaceful co-existence” vs. war.
The truth is that the real cause
of trouble between the two groups
of Reds is a matter of economics
and political leadership. Each
wants to be the boss. The differ
ences will probably not go to the
point of an irreparable break be
cause such a break would be a-
gainst the national interests of
both countries. Probably the rift
i sa good thing for the U. S.
Khrushchev considers that if he
could get a test ban and something
like peaceful coexistence, the U.
S. would lower its guard. He seems
to be trying to convince the Red
Chinese leader that if Khrushchev
is permitted to dupe us into low
ering our guard, dropping our
military expenditures and drop
ping our will to win the cold wa*-,
he will make much greater pro
gress than he would by threaten
ing us. Khrushchev is figuring on
a test ban as the best possible
method of disrupting NATO and
Western solidarity.
We have witnessed a great deal
of skepticism in Europe about
our willingness to come to the
defense of our European allies
which probably resulted in large
part from the mess we made of
Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, and
when we seemed to have had a
victory, we suddenly gave it up at
the last minute, allowing the
Russians to boast that we had
made a promise never to intervene
in Cuba.
Until we show a determination
to eliminate Castro and Commun
ism from Cuba we will make no
more progress anywhere in the
world. It would make little sense
to send Americans to die in S.
Viet Nam, if we are afraid or if
we have committed ourselves to
Castro not to do anything about
Communism in Cuba.
On the other hand, too much
concentration on Cuba may be dan
gerous, for it tends to make our
European allies feel that we con
sider Cuba much more dangerous
to the Free World because it is
near the United States and Ber
lin, for instance, is nearer to them.
We should remember that the in
terests of our allies are our inter
ests and our interests are theirs.
We should take immediate steps
to free Cuba, but we should make
it clear that once the Western
hemisphere is free of communism,
we will not forget that we have a
similar obligation in Europe.
No one wants a nuclear war but
it is hard to understand why we
should consider that such a war
would be more dangerous to us
than it would be to the Russians.
Since it is obvious that each coun
try would be equally in danger
why should we be required to go
nine-tenths of the way in trying
to eliminate the threat?

LAY-BY TIME!
What’s happened to it? A few
years ago Auglist was lay-by time
—farmers had finished plowing
and hoeing cotton and things went
at a slower pace-—at least until
time to start picking cotton# ; Not
so now, Mr. Boll weevil,has to be
kept on the run right on until
harvest time. This means spraying
or dusting every 5 days. Then the
trend toward more livestock evens
out the labor requirements even
more You can’t lay by a dairy and
beef cattle or poultry. These are
constant jobs that have few per
iods of rest. Anyway you take it
many of us sorta miss the lay-by
time, especially when watermelons
get ripe. It is hard to keep up the
pace when temperatures get up in
the high nineties. Say—please pass
the watermelon or take a milk
break!
Farm Home Week
Looking for a place to take a
vacation and want to learn some
thing, too- Yes, you can combine
the two at Clemson August 25-30.
The ocasion is Farm and Home
Week. Plan to bring the whole
family—rooms are available in
College dormitories for a nominal
fee of $2 per person for the en
tire week. Meals are available at
the College dining hall at a nom
inal fee.
There are -programs of interest
to most every age. Some include
school for gardeners, agronomy
and soils (to include production
practices for cotton, corn, soy
beans and pastures). Seventh An
nual Agricultural Economics and
Rural Sociology Short Course.
Poultry, Dairy, Forestry, Agricul
tural Engineering and Home Eco
nomics. These are some of the
programs available. For a com
plete ITsting please refer* to the
programs available soon at your
County Agent’s office. See you at
Clemson, August 25-30!
Grape Harvest Underway,
Yields of our grape vineyards
have been very good this year.
Newberry has only 4 vineyards of
any size, but these producers have
done an 5 excellent job of pruning,
cultivating and spraying. Weather
conditions have been favorable.
The present dry weather is aiding
the harvest. Grapes are sold to
the Palmetto Grape Association in
Spartanburg. This plant is owned
and operated by the grape farm
ers themselves. The grapes are
processed into juice. The producers
are paid in basis of sugar con
tent—16 per cent sugar is con
sidered ideal.
Mary Parr, Henry Parr, son of
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Parr; Parel Harmon, son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. M. Harmon Jr.; and
Henry Harmon, son of Mr. and
Mrs. T. A. Harmon made up the
Newberry Junior Dairy Judging
team that placed second in the
Piedmont District contest held on
July 30 at Roebuck and Cross
Anchor in Spartanburg county.
Mary Parr was second high scorer
for the day with a total of 232
points out of a possible 300. The
team score was 658 points just 20
shy of the winning Anderson
County Team. Jeral Harmon was
3rd high individual scores in
judging Jerseys.
Don’t Stop Cotton Insect
Control
Keep on applying insecticides to
cotton until young bolls are at
least 3 weeks old. Infestations of
weevil and bollworm are building
up so in order to keep up with
these insects dust or spray every
five days.
Use pesticides safely. Here is a
little test:
1. Always read the label before
using.
2. Always store in original con
tainers.
i 3. Keep out of reach of pets,
children, and irresponsible per
sons.
4. Wear mask and protective
clothing when directed in label.
5. Wash contaminated clothing
before re-use.
6. Avoid smoking while using.
7. Avoid spilling.
8. Wash hands after using.
9. Cover food and water con
tainers around areas to be sprayed.
10. Dispose of empty contain
ers safely.
11. Use as directed so result
ing crop meets residue tolerances,
if any.
THANKS GOD FOR HIS
SLAVE ANCESTRY
To The Christian Science Monitor:
I am glad that my ancestors
were Negro slaves. The first ship
load of slaves reached our shores
in the year 1619, some 344 years
ago. In the year 1828, Congress
passed a law prohibiting the im
portation of slaves. So thosi mem-
l?ers , o£ : my race whose ancestors
reached America om the last slave
ship have been exposed to the
civilization of the white man for
135 years. . .• v-*;*:
My race has made tremendous
progress since they came to live
in this country. I own my home
which is neatly furnished and is
fitted out with all modern elec
trical appliances. My three child
ren graduated from college, have
good jobs, and live in homes of
their own. After years of steady
employment and hard work as a
section hand, I shall retire next
year on a good pension from the
railroad. I enjoy good health and
have no grievances. My family
have always had plenty to eat.
For Sunday dinner we can afford
such foods as black-eyed peas,
grits, cabbage, corn muffins and
fried chicken.
Had my ancestors not been
slaves life for me would be dif
ferent. I would be living in the!
jungles of tropical Africa exposed
to the diseases and insects in that;
region. I would walk around in my
bare feet with a metal ring in my
nose and around my waist I would |
wear a loin cloth—if I could af- i
ford one. At night I would try to
sleep on a dirt floor of a one- j
room mud hut. Then on holidays
we would feast on elephant stewj
roasted grasshoppers, and / til d
milk of a coconut: ' • - *' * *
I get on my knees each nigh£~ -
and thank God for permitting my ,
ancestors to come to* America as |
slaves. That was the g^*eat bless- i
ing to Our race, and I am thankful 1
for it. Since members of my race j
have traveled from the status of <
headhunters and cannibals to that
of Members of Congress in Wash
ington, in less than 344 years’
time, there should be no question
about the abundance of opportun
ity for the Negro in America. It
is my hope that the time is not
far distant when we will have a
Negro as President of the United
States.
