In this state he exclaimed, “Oh that I knew where I might find him.” We are quick to join in the search for a lost child at the re quest of a distraught mother. Many of our neighbors are in Job’s position. They are lost from the presence of God and are cry ing out for help in finding him. Will you help them find the Sav iour for their lives? It is neigh borly to join in the search for a lost child. It is Christian to join in a person’s search for God. Are you listening? “Oh, that I might find him. knew where ” Job 23:3. Answering my telephone I bare ly recognized the voice of the al most hysterical mother on the oth er end of the line. “Oh, if I could only find my baby,” she was cry ing. When at last I was able to calm her down, she told me that her baby had wandered out of the house and could not be found any where. Arriving at the home I found that many of the neighbors had joined the search for the lost child. The police were summoned, the father was called home from work, the entire neighborhood was unset. The search continued for almost two hours, when suddenly the mother burst out of the house and cried, “Here he is! I’ve found my baby.” He had crawled under the bed and had fallen asleep. Job had a very similar exper ience. God was not lost, but Job KENDALL COMPANY TO HAVE PLANT IN INDIA The Kendall Company and Squibb S. p. A. have established a new company in Italy, Harold T.

ABRAMS Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM If you are out of work, your lost job may be one of the thous ands that our Federal foreign aid ers have “exported” to some foreign country. The foreign aid ers are not giving away our mon ey merely—they are giving away American jobs. A bill to extend foreign aid through the next fiscal year has two amendments authored by Congressman Robert Casey, of Texas, one of which would pre vent money going to Communist countries, and the other will, if adopted, prevent the loss of jobs for American workers. The reason these American jobs are lost is that cheap products made in factories financed by our foreign aid money in foreign coun tries, are brought into the United States and are sold at less than our own factories can make them —due to our labor cost and the low price paid for the same type of labor in those countries. The men who have lost their jobs in our steel mills, for exam ple, have paid and are paying taxes which go into th foreign aid program which, in turn, is taking thir jobs. In selecting pro jects and countries to be benefitt- ed by foreign aid, no considera tion whatever has ben given to the effect on our own industries. The Agency for International Development, which administers this money, cannot tell you or the Congress how many plants in any given industry it has built over seas—because they don’t keep records that way. By persistent digging for these statistics, some Congressmen have compiled fig ures that are shocking. For in stance the United States has spent two billion dollars of our tax money to build 179 steel plants in foreign countries, to compete with our own. We have built 31 paper plants, 23 chemical plants, 22 rubber plants, and 13 aluminum plants, among others, to compete with our own industries. Recently, two leaders of the steel industry met with the Presi dent to ask for help in stopping the flood of steel imports so that our plants can compete with the world tradde in these fields. A goo dexample of what is happen ing can be seen in the case of steel shipments from Mexico. In 1960, 65 tons of Mexican steel plate were shipped into the U. S. 'By 1962, this had increased to 12, 000 tons, and so far in 1963, more , than 21,000 tons have come in. Our tax money built 22 steel mills in Mexico where labor is cheap, and the steel they ship here can be bought for less than our own steel plants can sell their product. Paper industries are suffering from the same kind of competition. The total world production of pa per each year is about 107 million tons, but it consumes only 93 mil lion tons. This is a pretty good surplus. The Scandinavian paper industry joined i na voluntary pro gram of cutting back production. Our own plants are producing be low capactiy for the same reason. But the foreign aid boys took no notice of this economic fact, in 1961 we built or expanded paper plants in Finland, Israel, Greece, Egypt and Communist Yugoslav ia. It is not difficult to see what will happen to the paper industry and thes urplus which the free countries were trying voluntarily to reduce. Recently, on Khrushchev’s visit to Yugoslavia, one of the plants he was shown was a 40-million- dollar plastics plant our tax mon ey guilt there. No sign or other information indicated that the American taxpayers had footed the bill. American reporters were forcibly jected from the grounds, and the American engineers build ing the plant were excluded from the ceremony. Perhaps we are learning that this kind of grati tude is what we get for our money, because Congress now forbids sending foreign aid money to build factories n iCommunist countries, but only an aroused public can keep it that way. While these amendments to the foreign aid bill are helpful, they do not go far enough. These same foreign-aiders now want to give the Socialist government of India a billion dollars to build a steel plant there. It would be interest ing to figure how many jobs this will move from Indiana, Pennsyl vania, California and Texas. If your job has been “expeorted” to some foreign country, of it it is trreatened with exportation, kep in mind that fact when the Senators who vote for such sheer, suicidal nonsense come up for re- election. Let them know how you feel before they announce their candidacy. mi «•<. -•vS Jfoyous Christmas Ring out very joyously You bells of Christmastide.
