They maintain that it would help our relations with the Communists, not to mention the fact that these businessmen them selves hope to make a profit thru such*" trade. Most of the proponents of in creased East-West trade specify that it should— involve non-stra- tegic goods only. No one is so fool hardy as to suggest that we ought to sell missiles and tanks to the Soviet Union. But where is the line between “strategic” and “non-strategic” goods? Most informed people be lieve that we must classify all traae as strategic when dealing with Communist governments. When we ship material of any kind to the Soviet Union or to any Communist satellite, we pro vide them with material that they cannot provide for themselves. This permits the Reds to divert their energies and resources to other productive fields. The economic area is one of the battlegrounds in the Commun ist plan, and any trade agreements especially if they involve subsi dies —and the use of the most favored nation clause are con tributing directly to the strength of our international foe. The Soviet Union controls the economy of its satellites thru a Communist trade apparatus and the economies of all the Commun ist governments have become in terdependent. The satellite gov ernments, including Poland and Yugoslavia, completely partici pate in the international Com munist support of Castro’s Cuban government and the North Viet Namese regime. The belief that we can wean a Communist gov ernment away for the interna tional apparatus has been a State Department line since the late 1940’s. The belief is without foun dation. For example, the Polish Communist government has dropped all pretenses of indepen dence of tho. U. S. S. R. and has re-established a Stalinist-type re gime. All satellites deny their cit izens freedom of speech, freedom of the press, persecute all relig ious groups Li their territories, and operate the same type of in ternal prison state as does the U. S. S. R. Morally conscious businessmen will want no part of this com merce with crime. The blood of innocent people will be upon every business deal that we make with these enemies of freedom. Help keep them green and growing! SENATOR^ ■STRO URMOND Reports PEOPLE The Right to Bear Anns THE SECOND AMEND. * MENT to the Constitution (the ! second item in the Bill of Rights) i provides that “the right of the ^ people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” INCREASING CRIME rates across the country, and particu larly in the cities, has provided fuel for a determined move ment to have the National Gov ernment legislate restrictions on the sale and transportation of firearms in interstate commerce. THE PROHIBITIONS of the Second Amendment to the Con- ; stitution are directed against the ’ National Government, but not against the States. The people of each state, therefore, can regulate the sale of firearms without running afoul of this Constitutional provision. MOST OF THE STATES have laws designed to prevent fire arms from being sold to juve niles, insane persons, and people with criminal records. The State laws vary in strictness and en forcement, according to the needs of each State. New York, for in stance, requires that a person apply for and be granted a per mit from the State as a pre requisite to purchasing or pos sessing a gun. In most States, however, control over gun sales is exercised by licensing the merchants who sell firearms, and by requiring the sellers to ad here to the law in order to keep their licenses. IN RECENT YEARS, particu larly, State laws on sales of fire arms have been increasingly cir cumvented by mail order sales of weapons. Dealers in weapons located outside State boundaries often do not comply with State laws restricting sains. Guns have been sold through the mail to children, persons of unsound mind, and people with long crim inal records. Some irresponsible mail order merchants sell with impunity to anyone who has the price, since they do not have to obtain a license in the State where the purchaser lives, anc are beyond the reach of criminal laws of the State to which the gun is shipped ALTHOUGH Congress has no authority to prevent people from baying and a wiling firearms, t does have the power to regulate interstate commerce, and can ( remedy the situation without overstepping its Constitutional authority. CONGRESS can make it un lawful to ship firearms in inter state commerce unless the sale is consistent with the law of the State to which the weapon is shipped. This can be accom- >lished by requiring the seller » obtain from the would-be pur chaser a sworn statement 3iat ;he buyer is not prevented by the law of his home State from purchasing the weapon. This should be coupled with a require ment that the seller, prior to shipping the weapon, send a copy of the sworn statement by registered mail to the chief law enforcement officer of the area in which the would-be purchaser ives. Failure of the seller to comply would be a Federal crim inal offense. These are essential ly the provisions of S. 14, a bill I joined in sponsoring earlier this year. THE NATIONAL GOVERN MENT should not go beyond its Constitutional authority by at tempting to prevent mail order sales of weapons. Such an excess is not needed, and it could do much harm. IN MANY STATES, the peo ple feel strongly that law-abid ing, sane adults should be per mitted to own firearms. If the National Government prohibited the sales of firearms, law-abid ing citizens would not purchase weapons. Criminals, already in tent on lawbreaking, would not hesitate to obtain firearms il legally, for with law-abiding citi zens unarmed, a gun in the hands of a criminal would pro vide the lawbreaker with a big ger advantage than when all persons could obtain firearms legally. In addition, it is reason able to assume that would-be criminals would become much bolder if the possibility were eliminated that law-abiding in tended victims might be armed. THE CONGRESS should enact legislation to insure that State laws regulating the sale of fire arms are obeyed by those selling guns in interstate commerce It is just as important, however, for Congress to obey the Con stitutional mandate that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be in fringed” Sincerely, PROPERTY TRANSFERS PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL Newberry No. 1 Jacob C.
