SPECTATOR
The ladies have long since
exercised authority over us
men, usually by a sweet
persuasiveness that is cap
tivating. It is now known
that women are heavy stock
holders in American corporat
ions, they being recipients of
large checks for dividends. All
men have known that the
ladies have an art of winning
their way, whether by beauty,
sweetness, logic or tears.
Our new Clarendon Senator-
designate is fully up to the
mark of gracious appeal.
Now the other Senator: I
regret to dwell on my life in
South America, but since I do
not regale my friends with
stories about mountain lions,
bears and savage men I may
tell you of gracious people.
This Senator was the lovely
Senora Santolalla who had
been elected a Senator in the
National Congress - the only
woman ever to sit in the
Peruvian Congress - and she
in the Senate. More recently
she came to New York as the
outstanding woman of sixteen
nations South of the United
States. She and her husband
were in my employment.
I quote Congressman Mendel
Rivers, as appears in the new
sy Allendale County Citizen of
my cherished old comrade of
the quill, Tom O’Connor:
“We should become as
hardboiled in our relationship
with French President Charles
de Gaulle as he has shown
himself to be toward America.
Now that he is forcing
American forces to get out of
France, perhaps we should be
come a little impatient also,
and ask him to pay back
monies borrowed to help fin
ance World Wars I and II.
I think this step would be
appropriate inasmuch as he
shrugs off indifferently any
part of the cost of removing
our troops; troops I might
add who have been there since
World War II to protect
France against a possible
Russian threat.
France owes us World War
I debts of 4.1 billion dollars
in original loans, plus 3.1
billion dollars interest. To off
set this tremendous debt there
has been only scant repayment
of some 500 million dollars,
paid mostly in the early 20’s.
Thus she owes us a total of
bill of about 6.7 billion dollars,
of which 4.8 billion is way past
due.
France blatantly insists
that the reason she never
repaid the w r ar debts is because
Germany did not pay her.
France is no longer im
poverished.
She has told us, in blunt,
forceful words, that she no
longer needs us - our troops, or
our help, and that she wants
to go it alone - independent of
any military entanglements.
If she is in such sound
financial condition, it seems
only logical to me to expect —
and demand — that she begin
repayment of her just and due
financial obligations to Amer
ica.”
I endorse that one hundred

PEOPLE
FOOT IN THE DOOR
A MEANINGFUL pattern has
been established by the last
decade of so-called “civil rights”
enactments by the Congress An
almost invariable tactic of pro
ponents of “civil rights” provis
ions has been to propose a more
harsh measure than most
thought possible to pass, and
then to “compromise” the
provisions In each
ease, however, the “compro-
' <Z€>" *■» oted establishes a new i
for oower. which once
estabhshed. can be expanded to
tho hq~s s est extremes in subse-
qbills.
T w, E SO - CALLED “Civil
Right« Act of igSfV* prooosed
to the Congress by the Presi
dent. appears to follow this
p**«o<**^g pattern.
THE SECTION OF the pro
posed Civil Rights Act of 1966
■which has aroused the most
widespread opposition, both In
the Congress and among the
public, la the so-called “Fair
Housing” title. This opposition
Is more widespread geographic
ally across the reaches of the
country than has been the case
with any previous civil rights
proposal.
AS PROPOSED BY the Pres
ident, and defended in testi
mony by the Attorney General,
the so-called ‘Tair Housing”
provision would limit the right
of any individual to choose,
without answering to anyone,
to whom and for what reason
he shall rent or sell real prop
erty which he owns. The orig
inal proposal was comprehen
sive. with no exceptions.
FOLLOWING THE pattern of
earlier so-called “civil rights”
measures in Congress, a “com
promise” has emerged. The Ju
diciary Committee in the House
of Representatives has reported
the bill to the House with the
recommendation that certain
amendments be adopted. The
proposed amendments are de
signed to blunt the opposition
to the bill without in any way
blunting the extent to which
the power of the National Gov
ernment is expanded.
ESSENTIALLY, the House
Judiciary amendments would
make four exceptions to the in
itial proposal to limit the right
of individual persons to rent
and sell real estate to whom
they pleased. First, undeveloped
or vacant property would be
exempted. Second. Individuals
who engaged in no more than
(Hot wrwemrta or ortmtma
two sale or rental transactions
in a year would be exempted,
except, if the sale or rental is
handled by a real estate agent
or broker, in which case the
real estate agent or broker
would be covered by the pro
visions Third, an owner of
dwellings of four or less units,
who lived in one of the units,
would be exempted. Fourth,
transactions by religious and
fraternal organizations would be
exemoted
UNDER THESE proposed
amendments, the greatest num
ber of people who would feel
the immediate Impact of the
harsh Federal power would be
exempted. The Constitutional
barrier to the exercise of such
power by the National Govern
ment would be breached, how
ever. even by the bill as amend
ed. and the precedent wonld
still be set. Once the rationaliza
tion for the 1 power grab was
established, the extension of the
power to the comprehensive
limits originally proposed would
merely involve the degree of ap
plication of the power.
THE RIGHT TO HOLD and
enjoy property is a personal
right which attaches to each
and every individual in this
country, regardless of race,
color or creed, under the Con
stitution, laws and traditions
of our free society. Property,
itself, has no rights. There is
no contest between what could
be termed "property rights” on
the one hand, versus “personal
rights” on the other . The so-
called ‘Tair Housing” proposal
would give the Federal Govern
ment the power to nullify “per
sonal rights.” specifically .the
persona] and individual right to
hold, use, enjoy, and dispose of
property.
AMERICANS SHOULD NOT
be deceived by the Amendments
proposed by the House Judici
ary Committee by way of “com
promise.” The only “compro
mise” Involved Is the “compro
mise” of Individual liberty of
every present and future citi
zen of our Republic by the
enormous Federal grab embod
ied In the bin with or without
the amendments.
SURELY THE American pub
lic. and their representatives in
the Congress, win not again be
“taken In” by this shop-worn
“foot in the door” tactic.
‘ per cent or more. Not only
have we given to France
billions of dollars, but thous
ands of splendid young men
who died saving France.
I am not sure of this, but I
was told in France that we
! paid rent for land occupied by
our men who went over there
to save France!!
If France now breaks with
us then let us give thanks.
Even if no English blood
i flows in your veins you prob
ably drink tea. Do you know
about it?
“The world’s most popular
drink is not coffee or milk or
soda pop. It’s tea - a beverage
accidentally discovered about
2700 BC when some stray
leaves blew into a pot of boil
ing water. Chinese Emperor
Shen Nung proclaimed, T like
it!’ and tea was soon the nat
ional drink of Cathay.
For 4500 years, until 1841,
grows where China, Tibet,
| India and Burma meet on the
! Tropic of Cancer. Now all tea
is cultivated from 15 to 25 foot
trees that are pruned to bushes
4 feet high.
Tea plants are grown from
seed which produce usable and
brewable leaves in from three
to five years. The best and
most expensive teas comes
from the highlands at altitudes
of up to 6000 feet. ,The tea is
better because it grows more
slowly.
After picking, tea leaves are
spread to wither and to soften.
Then the leaves are rolled to
free the flavor juices. After
rolling, the leaves are broken
up, spread to ferment, and
finally fired or dried to stop
fermentation. Fully fermented
leaves make black tea. Part
ially fermented leaves produce
green or brown tea.
An expert tea taster can
identify up to 1600 of the 3000
known varieties in the world.
Tea bags were invented in
1904, the same year that
Richard Blechynden invented
iced tea . Now, 10 of the 30
billion cups of tea drunk by
Americans each year is iced.
Americans use about 2-3 of a
pound of tea per person per
year. The English use ten
pounds per person per year!
That figures to six cups a day
for every English man, woman
and child.”
I know that tea is the re
viving, re-sustitating, re-in
vigorating beverage of Eng
land, and even the hardy Scots
partake of it. It was said that
during the First World War
the British soldiers ceased fire
about four o’clock in order to
drink tea.
Friends, just as I don’t know*
when I try to speak French,
whether I speak anything like
the French of the French, or
the French as strangled and
mangled by my fellow Ameri
cans. In fact I don’t know yet.
At any rate, up to now, I
have not heard any one say
that tea won the war! My
cherished friends of Scotland
may imbibe tea now and then,
but always with a feeling of
lamentation over partaking of
a beverage so widely associat
ed with the English, even for
getting the Chinese.
Just a bit of economics.
Everybody studies Economics,
eh? Well, how often does a
so-called intellectual know
TRADE WITH THE REDS—
AIDING THE ENEMY
Communism is no longer the
monolithic, world-wide con
spiracy that it was once crack-
ep up to be. What we regard as
“Communist” governments are
really a collection of indepen
dent, western-oriented nations
who really want to be friends
with us. /
Do these words sound famil
iar? They should. You read
such theories daily in the news
papers and magazines all over
America. “Communism is mel
lowing” is the current political
belief that seems to be sweep
ing the country.
It is a bit hard to uphold
the “mellowing” theory when
our boys are being killed daily
in Viet Nam, but the apologists
manage to rationalize that,
too. Viet Nam, they say, is far
removed from Soviet Commun
ism. As for the Eastern Eu
ropean satellite countries, we
ought to stop treating them as
enemies, and start building
bridges of friendship and
trade.
We are now trading with
these nations, and various and
sundry Administration officials
are calling for increased trade.
that, if we get down to brass
tacks, Economics is a subject
frequently mentioned but, ap
parently, resolutely ignored.
Now, here we are: A factory
is making articles for sale, or
a merchant dealing across his
counter, considers all the ele
ments of expense that enter
into the selling price. Taxes,
rents, repairs, interest on
money, losses in bad accounts,
inevitable wastage, clerk hire,
and other help, licenses, spoil
age, change of popular habit
or custom or taste and various
other items related to all the
various governments, National,
State, County, Town, etc.
Wages, wages! Of course.
The business is built on wages
and salaries.
If the wages are regulated
by legislators, the merchant
will wonder how he is to
thrive, or whether he can con
tinue in business.
When the various items
which determine the sale price
are increased can the merch
ant or contractor automatically
increase his price or charge
so as to earn a profit ?
Does anyone care about
that ?
Whenever I see a “Filling”
Station, or a Store, or other
business, closed I think of the
man who tried, whose family
depended on his business, who
paid taxes and supported his
church. Do we think of him?
I read in the Wall Street
Journal this healine: “The
Good Old Days; Products of
Yesteryear still post big
Sales.”
Well, now, how is the mar
ket for cheese and crackers;
or can those cherished bits for
the hungry man still be found?
Still, a dime no longer has
icompelling force.
The handful of soda crack
ers and the bit of cheese have
fallen in dignity and popular
esteem, what?
When one objects to such ideas
he is squelched with the re
mark that he doesn’t want to
help the poor, underprivileged
people of Eastern Europe.
What happens to the goods
we send to Eastern Europe?
Do they go to the individual
millions of people who are in
need of material help? The
answer is “no.” The govern
ments of these Communist
countries do not want con
sumer items to help their peo
ple, they are asking for equip
ment and machinery to increase
the power of the governments
over the people.
Are the Eastern European
satellites “completely remov
ed” from the Viet Nam con
flict? Again, the answer is
“no.” Our forces in Viet Nam
have uncovered reams of Viet
Cong equipment that originat
ed in Poland and Czechoslova
kia. And it is an obvious fact
that the Soviet Union is di
rectly aiding the Viet Cong.
Even Communist Cuba fits
in this vicious circle of aid to
the Viet Cong. A few weeks
ago, Dr. Miguel Olba Benito,
formerly of Cuba, revealed a
story that shocked all who
read it. It described 166 exe
cutions that took place on May
27 of this year in Havana. Ol-
ha said:
“They executed prisoners in
La Cabana from about six
o’clock, in the morning until
sundown on May 27. Seven
pints of blood, on the average,
were extracted from the pris
oners first. The blood is being
sold to Communist Viet Nam
at $50 a pint.”
Communist Cuba could not
exist were it not for the sup
port of the “mellowing” Sov
iet Union.
It is difficult to understand
the thinking of those who in
sist on classifying the Com
munists. What goes to any
Eastern European satellite na
tion goes into the “common
market” run by the Soviets.
From there it may go to Cuba
or North Viet Nam. And if
anybody is tempted to think
that satellite Communism is
“mellowing,” they should read
the testimony of Rev. Richard
Wurmbrand, who spent four
teen years under torture in
Rumanian Communist prisons.
His interviews are available
from Manion Forum.
THE COURAGE OF THEIR
CONVICTIONS
For most of us, pilitics is a
far-removed subject that is
fascinating to think and argue
about. The war in Viet Nam
—trade with Communist Na
tions, or increased Federal
spending tq*e subjects that are
fun to talk about. But once
the spirited discussion is over,
the average American will turn
to more practcal things—such
as how to get rid of crab-
grass, whether or not to give
Junior automobile privileges,
or how much to spend on a va
cation this year.
Not one person in a thous
and would consider giving up
his job because his employer
disagreed with his politics. The
normal reaction to such thought
would be astonishment; “Pol
itics aren’t important enough
to interfere with the rest of
my life!”
Recently, however, two men
did just that—resigned their
jobs for “political” reasons.
Both of them were employed by
IBM. They learned that IBM
was making plans to sell com
puters and other scientific and
production control equipment
to Communist nations in East
ern Europe.
Nord Davis Jr., of Willsey-
ville, New York, had this to
say about his resignation:
“Consider that 300,000' \Am
erican boys are fighting and
dying for the alleged purpose
of stopping Communism, and
that we have already counted
25,000 American dead, wound
ed and missing in Viet Nam.
By what logic does IBM rat
ionalize their policy of trade
with the Communists?
“Perhaps the answer is IBM
desire for profit. If that is
the motive, then IBM should
explain that to our boys in
Viet Nam, and the people in
those Iron Curtain countries
that are to receive this mer
chandise.
“Finally, perhaps IBM man
agement feels that Polish,
Bulgarian, Czechoslovakian or
East German Communists are
really not as bad as other
types of Communists. Yet I
doubt that young Peter Fletch
er would .agree, when he lay
dying, unassisted for three
hours, in a pool of his own
blood, after an unsuccessful at
tempt to scale the Berlin Wall

all tea grew wild and was har
vested from an evergreen that
in pursuit of freedom.”
The other man to resign
with Davis from IBM was
Harvey Morehouse of Candor,
New York. Here is his state
ment:
“I have relatives living in
the slavery of Communist Po
land, and while their sufferings
may be many thousands of
miles from New York, it con
cerns me no less. The cries of
pain from the victims of Com
munist oppression are heard
across the world. Their anguish
ed cries, from the days of
Budapest to the present, are a
reminder to those who will list-
ten. Others may choose not to
listen, so they must salve their
consciences. But the plight of
these suffering people demands
of MY conscience that I do ev
erything in my power to help
them. It is not easy to help
them by positive means but I
refuse to contribute any effort
to give their masters better
means to keep them in slavery,
and I consider the policy of
IBM, of selling to the Com
munists, to be precisely that.”
How many men would be as
brave as Morehouse and Dav
is? Not very many, we suspect.
But the courageous step taken
by both of them should give
food for thought to all of us.
