Vietnam is going badly. American soldiers are being sent half way around the world to fight the Communist guerillas who are keep ing South Vietnam in turmoil. This operation is costing Ameri can taxpayers a million dollars a day. It is our established policy to resist Communist aggression but once the Red fist closes firmly up on a new victim, to protect that Communist possession. We are trying to help the South Vietnam ese while they are resisting Com munism but we turn a cold shoul der to the North Vietnamese who have already been captured. We tell the West Berliners that we won’t let the Communists take them over, but we extend no hope for the East Berliners already be hind the Communist wall. Fur ther, we discourage any anti- Communist uprisings in countries already captured. Now we are considering Khrus- chev’s proposed non-aggression pact which will give the Kremlin firm assurance that its conquests to date—Poland, Latvia, Hungary and elsewhere—will not be dis turbed by military action on our part, or otherwise. We have al ready done this with reference to Cuba, which we now firmly pro tect against invasion by Cuban exiles or anybody else. But these non-aggression pacts do not work both ways. With or without agreements, the Reds continue their efforts to “liber ate” free countries into Commun ist control through open warfare, or through riots, subversion and infiltration which they are now superintending in this hemisphere. It is ironical that while we fight Communists tooth and nail in South Vietnam, 10,000 miles away, we protect Communists in Cuba, only 90 miles away. And what do we get from Castro for this pro tection ? Recently, some interesting in formation about Castro’s part in this business has come from wit nesses called to testify before the House Judiciary Sub-Committee. These witnesses from our own State department stated that Cas tro is permitted to pick half of all refugees who are allowed to leave Cuba to come to the U. S. Under this secret arrangement, Castro is sending us Czechs, Hungarians, Yugoslavs, Russians and Poles, as “Cuban refugees.” An estimated 4000 of these spurious refugees are here where they have infiltrat ed bona fide Cuban exile groups to spy for the Castro government. This is an example of the re sults of any non-aggression pacts we make with Communist govern ments. We are stil not well informed about what happened in connection with the ill-fated Bay of Pigs in vasion, but it is certain that it failed because Castro was well in formed of every move being made by the Cuban exiles and that the information was being furnished by his own spies in the Cuban ex ile groups. Before the invasion took place, Castro was moving tanks and artillery into the area of the Bay of Pigs. One of the more vocal of the Cuban refugees now back in this country, is an American citizen, who happened to be in Cuba on business for an American em ployer who was preparing esti mates for electronic equipment to be installed at a racetrack in Hav ana. He is John Martino, who was a prisoner of Castro’s for forty months, having been convicted of being a spy and of various other offenses against the Cuban gov ernment, and sentenced to a term of 30 years in prison. He was re leased about the time that the puppet President of Cuba appear ed at the United Nations, because his release could be used as a propaganda gimmick. This citizen recorded his experiences in a book, entitled “I was Castro’s prisoner”, and in it he has set out the pro tection he expected from his own government through the State Department, and the protection he actually got. No American , except perhaps youthful thrill seekers, would think of making a visit to Cuba now, but in happier times, many of us enjoyed the once friendly and beautiful island so near our shores. This fact also makes it all the harder to tolerate the pres ent Kremlin fortress and the ad vanced base of Communist opera tions now established there. What we must remember, now that we have agreed to accept Castro’s selections of “Cuban” refugees under our recent agree ment with him, is that the net work of Communist spies in this country is stronger and better or ganized, and that Cuba’s exper ience could be ours, unless we do something about it now. Looking A head ...by Dr. G«org« S. Benson PRESIDEN1—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Swcy, Arksnses FUNNY MONEY Integrity practiced among busi nessmen in day-to-day transact ions at market places through out the world is one of the most priceless ingredients in today’s free-world economy. But without a currency standard that is fairly dependable for all to follow, this high level of integrity probably could not be maintained. In other words, we must have media or ex change based upon dependable standards that will be honored. And so it is that the markets of the world depend on the dollar. Some nations, France for example, have a great many dollars, enough even to undergird their own currency—or to endanger ours, should they demand our gold. Because many friendly nations j are using the integrity of our dol- j lar to back up their own fiscal ‘ systems, they look toward Wash ington with grave concern about the status of our less-than-fifty- cent dollars values) and the gold that is required to support them. There is every reason why neither we nor they should want more devaluation oi the dollar. We must keep it firmly and solidly • backed with gold at the present rate of 1-35 of an ounce to the dollar. This is merely another way to describe the fiscal integrity on which the free world depends. A Less Confident Dollar The Congress, however, has this j year passed a bill which takes a contrary view. It agreed to allow the Treasury to replace the nations silver certificates, a redeemable currency, with Federal Reserve notes, which are not redeemable. This straw-in-the-wind was large ly overlooked by the American citizen, who probably has little interest in trading in his currency for precious metal, either silver or gold. But not so the European bankers. The time could come when they would demand our gold because of loss of confidence in our dollar. Devaluation of the • dollar by the government is one escape from this fiscal dilemma, but it is a fdangerous as well as a dishonest one. Mr. Kennedy has said that he will not devaluate the dollar, al though some of his deeds tend to •take us toward the inflation of our currency. In general, the pres ent Administration follows the spending policies that got well underway in 1933, along with tinkering with the currency. It has been, on the whole, a flight from fiscal responsibility in a rush to ward power through printing easy money. Monetized Debt Singe 1933 you and I have been using currency that is backed chiefly by the government’s IOU. It is backed increasingly by gov- 1 ernment debt and is redeemable for nothing at all. The ratio of gold to non-gold money and de posits has slipped from 8.6 per cent (average, 1915-1932) to a current low of 5 per cent. The • government’s fiscal deeds con tinually belie the integrity of its word. That is why the precious metal upon which our “gold stand ards” is based is on its way to be ing declared more acceptable the world around than the dollar. This is the root of our trouble, which so far we have not been willing to face squarely and hon estly. The truth is that this con trol of the people’s money, with out sufficient attention to the res traints that are inherent in the gold standard system, has offered the government opportunities that it has not been able to resist. This is the route our growing central government has used, in back-door fashion, to assume its tremendous power. Ruled By Bad Money Whence comes dictatorships ? Take a look at the power made from Caligula to Castro. You will find that they hold people in line either with force of arms or with power of money, or both. If an authoritarian reginie can get con trol of the currency of the people it can lock up the guns for emer gency use only, The currency of a dictatorship doesn’t have to be backed up with anything at all, not even lOUs. This kind of fiscal power surpasses that of the firing squad. A subjugated people often does not know what hit them. In short, if the government is {allowed to do so, it can use the power of. the people’s money to ruin as well as rule. This unre strained power can then be resold to the people in terms of benevo lent, welfare-state terms that roll out the vote and reinforce the pow er. In effect, then, the politicians have found the formula that leads the people to their own ruin will ingly. It is this power to spend that comes from control of the people’s purse. But the power ex ists only because the people, lack ing vigilance and concern, have allowed "funny money” to be put into that purse. starts’em right..■ keeps ’em bright! ...you bet! $5000 GUARANTEE I* Mr Newberry Lumber Co., Inc.
