PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, FEBUARY 6, 1964 Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM In any matter of foreign policy, the most important thing to get straight is what we assume to be the basic situation in the w r orld to day. The main assumption in that respect is to determine who is our enemy and what is the nature of that enemy. All of our troubles in the several parts of the world bear one design which admits of only one conclu sion; that we have a single enemy, and that tltat enemy is not Russia, not China, nor any particular na tion, but the world enterprise of Communism, which uses these and other countries as its power re sources and the base for its mili tary and political operations. Communist Russia is Commun ism, and not Russia. The Kremlin Government picks its enemies and maps its moves according to the ideological objectives of Commun ism and not in order to secure the well being and the safety of the Russians. The basic principal of the Com munist ideology is to look towards the future world which Commun ists believe will come as the Com munist Party achieves a complete and total victory over all its en emies in the world. The Communist government has constituted itself, not as the ad ministration of a going concern, but as a combat operation. It makes peaceful co-existence, in the true sense of the word, impossible —not only between the Commun ists and their declared enemies, but even between the Communists and their subjects. It has consti tuted itself a dictatorship, and Lenin said that dictatorship is not the organization of order but the organization of war. If we view war as what it really is—the basic will to do harm to the other side —then we are at war with Com munism, even in the absence of shooting. About all we can do about this it seems, is to play somewj.at the same game that the Communists play against us, namely, try to undermine and erode and weaken the political hold which the Com munists have on their subjects as w r ell as on their victims; make the countries of the w'orld immune to their penetration and make the countries which they now control quite unsafe for the Communists who rule them. We have a tendency to regard all of the Communist conquests as accomplished facts. We are wor ried about South Viet Nam, for instance, but we do nothing about the Communist establishment in North Viet Nam. We are concern ed about the safety of W T est Ber lin, but w r e apparently are not going to do anything about the freedom of East Berlin. We have done nothing to threat en the Communists in these areas but we have done quite a bit to reassure them. We have reassured them about Cuba, about Berlin, and have helped to permit the Communists to establish and solid ify themselves where they now quite illegitimately rule. Whenever there is an effort on the part of these captive peoples ti liberate themselves, our whole national policy should swing to their support, whether that sup port is moral support, diplomatic support, support with arms, food, or whatever is needed and possible for us to supply. The split in the Communist world, between China and the Soviets, has been viewed as a hopeful sign that perhaps could lead to a weakening of the Com munist hold on the captive nations. But the goal of both factions is the same: to destroy us and our way of life. The disagreement is only as to the best way to accom plish this goal. Both factions see the world in similar terms. They see themselves as the w r orld gov ernment of the future. When the assassin of our Pres- dent w r as captured, he was report ed to have said that he was a Communist, a Marxist, or perhaps both, and that he was “proud of it.” There is little, if any, differ ence between a Communist and a Marxist. Communists consider themselves as Marxists-Leninists. They arethe Marxists which follow the burden of Marxism which has been fashioned by Lenin. But whether Marxist or Communist, anyone who behaves in the way in which the assassin Oswald be haved, behaves quite clearly out of a fundamental hatred for our society and everything we stand for. It was the hatred of the one movement in the world that preaches that kind of hatred, namely, the Communist movement. The American public is aroused and interested in learning as much as possible about Communism. This is evidenced by the fact that some hundred thousand copies of a report of the House Committee on Un-American activities on Communist ideology have been sold, and another printing has been authorized. It is Volume 1, entitled “Facts on Communism.” It is sold by the U. S. Govern ment Printing Office, Washington, D. C. for 45c, and is a most infor mative book. btitributej front BOSTON LOS ANGELES LONDON CHICAGO City Zone Announcing. • • The Bank of Commerce WILL BEGIN REMITTING CHECKS AT PAR THROUGH FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM We are happy to advise, that as another service for our good customers, « s There will be no charge for any check sent through Federal Reserve System We would also like to remind our customers and friends that the Bank of Commerce offers complete banking services:— SAVINGS ACCOUNTS CHECKING ACCOUNTS—with no charge if balance exceeds $100.

Men used to read in The Book that Righteousness exalteth a na tion but sin is a reproach to any people.” Then our grandparents used to say: “Beware! Your sins will find you out.” So w'hat’s this all about? In South Carolina the Bible is read and the churches are active. Even those not religious find themselves respectful, if not responsive, to the Sacred Word. Falling back on Shakespeare a- gain: “And thereby hangs a tale.” When I was just a boy, several years ago, at least, President T. R. Roosevelt planned to dig a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific. You may recall, or your grandfather may remember, that in the War with Spain, over Cuba, you know, the Spanish fleet was over here in or near the Cuban ports. Our great battleship Oregon was in the Pacific and was ur gently needed with our fleet near Cuba. We were all agog, fearful you know because the Oregon had to steam all the way down South to the tip of South America and then all the way North to Cuban waters. That brought to a head the de mand for a canal that would re duce by more than ten thousand miles the trip from San Francisco to Charleston. Several routes for the canal were under considera tion, but the isthmus of Panama, then a colony belonging to Colom bia was a likely place so T. R. en couraged Panama to declare itself independent of Colombia and we virtually helped Panama by block ing attack by Colombia.. Then we forthwith made a treaty with Panama. President Wilson persuaded the Congress to pay Colombia twenty- five million dollars as compensa tion. As we started wrong trouble seems to follow, creeping up now and then. Of course Panama owes its in dependence to us; and we pay Panama about two million dollars a year as a sort of easement. Panama has prospered enor mously, of course, and the world has received great benefits, but, according to the Book “Beware your sins will find you out.” That is in the 'Book, isn’t it? To boil this matter down to its essence, we made Panama; it has no ground for complaint; and we have carried out faithfully all our promises to Panama—and enor mously more. We’ve done no harm to Panama; our wrong-doing was to Colombia. countries from its own folly. Over the world we shall not be hailed as a savior. We shall still be known by Bernard Baruch’s phrase, ‘Uncle Sap’. When President Kennedy pro posed the wheat sale at a press conference on October 9, he claim ed that: It would ease U. S.-Soviet ten sions; it wmuld ‘advertise to the world as nothing else could the success of free American agricul ture’; by inference, it would ‘ad vertise’ the failure of Communism to feed itself; it w r ould dispose of a lot of our surplus wheat; it would reduce our gold shortage and help the balance-of-payments problem; it would be beneficial to the businesses involved in the transaction; it would help the American taxpayer; and it would provide employment for American seamen, for the wheat would be carried in available American bot toms. This, indeed, vras a pretty package. The President gave Congress certain assurances: ‘These sales would be concluded by private Am erican grain dealers for American dollars or gold, either cash on de livery or under normal commercial credit terms’. But the banks re fused to provide financing for the transactions. Then government credit was permitted, after the pre-Christmas arm-twisting b y President Johnson. Meanwhile, there was a compli cated play in the Commerce De partment. First, it was said, all the grain would be carried in our vessels. The Russians protested. Then 50 per cent. Still there was trouble. And there were growls a- from our maritime unions. The Russians grumbled about some U. S. vessels having a hand in the business. Khrushchev, ech oing our maritime competitors, fumed about ‘flag discrimination.’ And the nation’s press whipped American shipping for holding up the happy consummation of the deal. This whole imbroglio is a sam- [ pie of the liberal pattern in pro gram after program. Something is hastily entered into without careful planning. Then, as difficul ties mount, money is poured out to show an apparent success.” Those who honor me by listen ing to my radio talks over many stations; and others who read my weekly Spectator, will recall that I have frequently argued against the graduated income tax, which Mr. Roosevelt must have copied from Communist theorists. The basic idea at one time was a limit any man’s income to $25,000 a year. The rates, you know, range from about 20 per cent to 91 per cent. Why, in our country, the Government should tax one man at 25 per cent and another at91 per cent aennot possibly conceive as sound taxation.. It is not the proper sphere of governmental ac tivity to penalize any citizen in the full enjoyment of his earning ca pacity. So a well-known student of taxation, Henry Hazlitt, offers this study which also appears in New T sw r eek; “An $11 billion tax cut is being proposed in the face of a combined deficit for the fiscal year 1964 and 1965 until now officially esti mated at $18.4 billion, and placed even by the new budget estimates at $15 billion. We are borrowing money to cut taxes. The proposed tax cut is a fraud. Unless we are walling to slash expenditures we simply cannot afford at this time a tax cut in the sense of a tax re duction that would reduce reve nues. But can w r e afford tax reform. We can and should cut tax rates wherever these rates are so high that they actually diminish reve nues. It is enormously probable that this applies to all personal-in- come rates above 50 per cent of our total annual Federal expendi tures. But if these rates were eliminat ed, and present tax progression stopped at 50 per cent, the govern ment would not lose this $1 billion. On the contrary (though, of course no exact estimate is possible) there would probably be an in crease in revenues from this change even in the first full year, and a much greater increase in succeeding years. Our frequently deplored slow rate of growth is mainly owing to our tax system—our excessive penalties on high incomes. Ary tax rate above 50 per cent is prima facie confiscatory. Perhaps the greatest harm done by the progressive income tax, particularly the existing steep graduation, has been to create the illusion that a rich minority of (Continued on page 3) New and Easy. Money-Saving Main Dish In the early days of Franklin D. Roosevelt, while he was Gov ernor of New York, he formed the so-called brain-trust, a group of brilliant men, headed by Raymond Moley, a Professor at Columbia University. Later, as President, Mr. Roosevelt availed himself of the ability of Mr. Moley in our Department of State. Mr. Molenow writes for News week Magazine and contributes sound articles on National prob lems. Taking for discussion our much- discussed Wheat Deal with Rus sia Mr. Moley says, in part: “Nothing better illustrates the lovable but at the same time la mentable nature of the liberal mind than the eager acceptance by the Administration of the oppor tunity to sell some of our wheat surplus to the Soviet Union. Pro jected as it was with an array of assumed advantages, it had some appeal, But it was the projection of a hope, not a plan.

The stuffing is the old-fashioned kind made with bread, seasoned with celery, onion and sage, and blended with evaporated milk for just-right moist ness. The fruity-sweet flavor of the glaze enhances both the meat and the crusty bands of stuffing.

I will be a junior this year in high school. My problem is that I have difficulty with my weight. I have lost 15 pounds. This particular boy has taken me to the movie. I like him very much. What I want to know is how I can get him to like me a lot. Do you think my weight has any thing to do with it?” OUR REPLY: You forgot to state whether your problem with weight was “too much or toe little.” Either way, we must say that weight is important because the individual who is too heavy or too thin does not look her best. If you are overweight, ask your par ents to let you discuss the problem with the family doctor . . . and follow his recommendations. Appearance is important. We should all try to look our best. Yet it is still possible to be handsome or pretty and not be too well liked. This is because people like or dis like us because of the personality that we present to them and be cause of our attitudes and actions —what we are and what we do. Haven’t you noticed that some times the most popular individual in school is perhaps not the pret tiest or handsomest? If you want to make someone like you, be yourself. Be a nice person. Be friendly, be fun to be with. Don’t talk too much or too little. Try to put people at ease when they are with you and you will find that you yourself feel more comfortable at the same time.

Ever see the homeowner who claimed to have “a tool for every purpose” — yet could never find any thing when he needed it? It takes this fellow longer to find the necessary tool than it does to do the necessary job with it. Perforated hardboard, especially designed for garage walls, does away with tool and implement clutter and gives extra floor space as well. Pre-finished for quick in stallation, perforated hardboard is cut to size and can easily be in stalled by any handyman who knows one end of his hammer from the other.
