THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN A few years ago the British, especially the English, were the great world travelers. To day the Americans are found almost everywhere. I’m /telling a little some thing about Chile. Do you know where - Chile is and how you travel to get there t One way is to take a plane and go to Santiago, Chile; another is to go by boat to Valparaiso. When I went to Peru, there were the Grace boats from New York, going to Valpara iso, but dropping me at Callao, Peru. The boat from New r York may or may not make a stop at Havana, Cuba.

The trip through the Canal j usually requires four or five hours and then you sail into the Pacific Ocean. Running down the western coast of South America you pass the shores of Colombia, Equador, Peru and Chile. I quote something about Chile: “Chile is truly an outstand ing vacationland of shining, je weled beaches, charming Eur opean styled resorts, the world greatest deep sea fishing wat ers and probably the finest skiing slopes to be found any where. A country with an el ongated profile whose borders stretch an incredible 2700 miles it is a narrow hedged-in land well isolated by the towering Andes mountains; bordered on the west by the blue waters of the Pacific, it is bounded on the north by the barren rainless sands of the Atacama Desert v - 1 * V; We of acres of reforeit&Tion programs ci boon under way and most people [ft don’t give a loblolly! : W. -vvvi “We think that we shall never see, People who Appreciate the Santee-Cooper Tree.” Excuse *3 You sun doyfce.

The warmth of Chilean hospi tality prevails in the lobbies of her well-maintained hotels, in the cozy atmosphere of her smart restaurants, aboard pub lic conveyances, on the beach, amidst the pavements of her towns and cities, and is un failingly manifest on the speedy ski slopes of her moun tainous resorts. This is a land of tremendous beauty. Her lake region to the south possesses an ever-chang ing vista of photogenic flora and fauna. She has several magnificent, awe-inspiring vol canoes. And less than 100 miles from the capital of Santiago the luxurious ski resort of Por tillo, site of the 1966 World’s Championships, has come into prominence and international acclaim. From early July into Octo ber Portillo never suffers any lack of fine, powdery snow and the international skier enjoys the absolute best in facilities and creature comforts. Chile’s inhabitants trace their ancestries mainly to Eu rope, their ethnic origins root ed in Spain, Italy, Germany, England, France and the Sla vic countries. This explains the prevalence of continental cui sine high-lighted by such sea food specialties as swordfish, king crab, abalone, giant clams and the Chileno’s pride— the langosta, a succulent lob ster coming from the waters surrounding tfie Juan Fernan dez Islands. Chilean wines, the best of which are consumed lo cally and of which few are ex ported to the United States or elsewhere, rank with the finest of French vintages, from which they are descended. As befits one of the world’s great copper countries, hun dreds of handicraft items such as trays, bowls, tea services, cigarette and jewel boxes are fabricated and the soft, reddish metal is skillfully fused in combination with silver to make attractive, inexpensive, shopping bargains. Chileans have a habit of re ferring to themselves as the yankees of South America. Courteous, friendly and mani festly eager to welcome the visitor, these southern neigh bors are lovers of the outdoor life and their qualities of good humor will especially endear them to the thousands of visit ors who are increasingly dis covering the charms of this enchanting country.” (The Tra veler.) if we have any group of citi zens able to attend to their af fairs it is our Jewish citizens. Here is something well worth considering: “We have squandered thou sands of American lives, bill ions of American dollars fool ishly, vainly, needlessly trying to please and placate ‘world opinion’. What earthly difference does it make, whether or not our enemies hate us? We could be angels—and they’d still do their best to destroy us. How could it ever be worth the life of a single decent young American .to woo a gang of bandits half way . round the world, whose only interest is filching every- dollar they can get out of-'tia.

J( . Why should we add tax bur dens to hard-worlcing Ameri cans, already the . mostrtaxed people on earth, to feed dis tant millions who won’t try very hard to solve their own problems and to whom Amer ica’s foreign aid has easily and greedily become their way of life. And ever and ever more American taxes to buy strut ting dictators yachts and pal aces, and risk American lives and more billions to protect people who won’t fight our common enemy nor pay to pro tect themselves. If there were the slightest sign that all this waste was doing the slightest true good, a little of it might be justified. But when everyday brings the news of more riots, thievery, sits-ins and threats, isn’t it high time to go back to honest self-respect as our guiding pol icy, and forget our fear of ‘world opinion’.” The Warner and Swasey Co. uses its advertising space to present some sound ideas to the public. I read recently that a move ment is afoot to have more Jewish men at the head of Cor porations. That amazed me for I see that some politicians advocate reducing relief ex penditures. If anything distin guishes the America of today from the land of our fathers it is the wild rush for something free, regardless of the extrava gance, involved. ,, I don’t think I am unduly exaggerating in saying that probably fifty percent of all the national handout is a waste effort and an undue imposition on the taxpayers. “The nation is in the grip of a do-good psychology. If a man doesn’t want to spend money on the poor, he’s made out to be a selfish old curmudgeon who probably drowns puppies.” The speaker is George Jor dan, executive vice president of Taxaction, Inc., Los An geles. As' the name and Mr. Jordan’s remarks indicate, the organization was set up to protest the increasing cost of Welfare and similar government programs. Although Taxaction is only three years old, it al ready has ‘over 1,000 members in. 80 communities’ spread a- cross Los Angeles County, Mr. Jordan reports. He predicts further rapid growth for his group—and others like it—un til politicians begin to ‘listen to the taxpayer the way they should’. • Such outspoken taxpayer or ganizations are not new to the American scene, especially in the weeks before national elect ions. What is a new develop ment, a Wall Street Journal survey shows, is that the sen timents voiced by such groups seem to be gaining wider ac ceptance and are beginning to catch the ear of more politi cians. The reaction of shine candidates is to speak out against any further expansion of various relief programs and, in some instances., to promise cutbacks. And other campaign ers, who in some election years might have urged broader wel fare aid, are notably silent on the subject. . . The cost of welfare indeed is rising sharply. The nation s monthly welfare bill recently hit a record $533 million, up from a monthly average of about $460 million a year ago. There are some 500,000 more relief recipients in the country now than a year ago. The growth of the relief rolls dwarfs the country’s popula tion growth; the number of persons on welfare has risen nearly 60 percent in the past dozen years, while the popu lation has climbed only about 20 percent. Many welfare critics express concern not only about the growth of relief but about what they claim is the inept manner in which welfare is be ing administered . . • Still other critics protest about what they contend are flagrant abuses in welfare pro jects. . . ” DEED TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 Harold C.

The only remnants ai-e the left-over pamphlets, the buttons that will never be worn again, and the empty pockets of those who supported their candidates with all they had. Depending on where you live; the outcome of last Tuesday’s elections was “good” or “bad”. Perhaps your district will send to Washington this year a man who is determinedly anti-Com- munist and who believes in a balanced budget. Perhaps not. At any rate, it is all over, and we shrug our shoulders resign edly. But the years go by—more quickly than we may like to think—and it won’t be too long before the 1968 Presidential election takes place. Already the national figures who hope to figure in the race are work ing hard. The Communist Par ty USA is making preparations too. How about you? You may think it impossible to fight City Hall. You might have worked diligently this fall to no avail. Just possibly, you may be considering throwing in the sponge. Before you give up, however, turn your ears to the words of the Manion Forum’s pre-elect ion guest, Mr. Dean Richards, of the Flick-Reedy Corpora tion. Mr. Richard works for a division of Flick-Reedy known as the “Flick-Reedy Education Enterprise” (FREE). He des cribed some of FREE’s work: “We produce two products. One is “Two Worlds”—a color filmstrip of 24 individual sess ions, eighteen minutes each, that point out historically why nations fell when they acquir ed too much centralization of power and sank into decay. The filmstrip then shows what we are for—our Constitutional form of government, freedom of speech, freedom to own pro perty—and then points out the evils of Communism and So cialism. There are sessions al so on the free enterprise sys tem, and the final sessions point out what an individual can do in his own community to preserve our freedoms.” Just suppose you could show Open House for employees at Oakland plant The Oakland Plant - of the Kendall Company is-, holding Open House Saturday for all Oakland employees, according to plant manager, L. Hart Jor dan. Saturday will be observed as Family Day, and all. pfliptoyees and members of their families, over 16 years of age, are being invited to t»ur the plant. This is being done^, according to Mr. Jordan, to allow [present employees to nok i only., show members of their families where they work, but to provide them with an opportunity to observe the changes that - were made throughout the plant in con nection witk the*: recent rehab ilitation prdgfam.n j j , . ■ ' j m>» —dayMayiyyiiwy—— this filmstrip series to thou sands of people in your district before 1968.

Not everybody qualifies to become a student of..this semi nar, which takes place in Ben- senville, Illinois, - regularly. In Richards’ words, the student must “have a strong reading background on Americanism, on the Communist coq^piracy, and the socialistic/ trend.
