COMMENT
on
Men & Things
By J. K. BREEDIN
I have known for some time
that our Government had spread
over several countries of Eur
ope. and I have thought it op
portune to speak a word for the
withdrawal of all our military
and naval forces from Europe.
I had in mind naval expendi
tures in England nr Great Brit
ain; land expenditures in France
and Belgium and Germany We
have some naval forces in Italy
also. I find now that all that
I had read of the outpouring of
money in Europe was not much
more than a “drop in the buck
et"
The hundreds of millions we
spend in those countries even
year we need here in this coun
try. not only for our develop
ment but to reduce the strain
on our taxpayers.
I have an editorial study of
our foreign grants that will
amaze you and I reproduce an
editorial from the Sumter Item
of June 26
I don’t want to leave the mat
ter of our vast outpouring of
money without calling attention
again, and with emphasis to
this outrageous mismanagement
of our tax money.
“Foreign Aid Still An Endless
Drain"
“Representative S. Fletcher
Thompson, Republican of Geor
gia. recently sent to his eonsti
tuents a rundown on United
States foreign aid between 1945
and 1966. The total was the stag
gering sum of $122,358,500,000.
That is billions, not millions, a
sum so staggering no one but
a financial genius can fathom
it. It amounts to $611 for eacl
man, woman and child in the
United States.
One of the saddest features
of this gigantic giveaway is the
fact that the majority of the
people in many of the nations
that benefitted from our gener
osity now hate us. In the list
are communist countries dedi
cated to our destruction South
American countries that h a v (
been rioting against the Unitec
States are heavy recipients.
Following is a partial list of
the countries and the amounts
t h e y received in the 21-year
span:
Albania. Communist. $20,400,-
000; Czechoslovakia. Commun
ist. $193,000,000; East Germany.
Communist, $800,000; Argentina,
Republic, $4,997.40.000; Bolivia,
$460,000,000; Hungary, Commun
ist, $31,500,00; Russia, $186,-
000.000; Italy. $6,092,900,000: Po
land. Communist. $554,000,000;
Cnited Kingdom. Great Britain.
$9,044,900,000; Brazil. $3,185,700,-
000; United Arab Republic. Eg
ypt. $1,133,300.00; Cuba. Com
munist. $52.10.000; Ecuador,
200.000; Mexico. $133,200,; Pa-
munist. $173,000,000; Japan, $3.-
972.900.000; Korea. $6,676,700.-
000:
You see it occasionally. It makes
you sick at your stomach. It makes
you hurt down deep inside where the
pain cuts. It makes you wonder about
what we call civilization, and justice,
and even sometimes humanity itself.
I saw it the other day. It was in the
paper. You probably saw it also. It
wasn’t headline news, but it might
have served a good purpose if it had
been. It read something like this:
“Sensation hungry spectators, disap
pointed when a 19-year-old gas s ation
attendant abandoned a suicide at
tempt, taunted him into jumping to
his death from a 104-foot water tower
Thursday.
The Crowd Cried Out
“A fire department official said the
youth, Juergen Peters, climbed an iron
ladder to the top of the tower and
threatened to commit suicide following
a dispute at the filling station where
he worked. He changed his mind and
was climbing back down when the
taunts began.
“Jump, you coward, jump!” some
one shouted from the crowd. As Peters
moved lower the taunts became louder.
He hesitated, looked at the crowd,
then began to climb back to the top.
At the top he moved out on a parapet
and flung himself off.”
Pm sure the crowd went home with
a sense of satisfaction, real fulfill
ment. They could feel something that
the Romans used to feel when the
Christians were thrown to the lions.
The sight of twisted, crushed, broken,
bloody humanity must be a very en
joyable sight to such people.
We speak a lot about our living in
a civibzed world. We brag on our
scientific advances and revel in our
mechanical accomplishments. We have
learned more in the past ten years
than man had learned in all of record
ed history up to that time. And yet,
with all our marvelous wonders, we
sometimes are not anything more than
blood thirsty animals.
Don’t Need Him
We have counted the Church, and
it’s Christ, out in our world. There’s
no place for Him, not in our modern
world. He was a good crutch for the
ignorant ages gone by, but the myth
of Him just doesn’t have any place
in our world today. Few, indeed, are
those who really believe that He has
anything to offer our age. Most peo
ple have just outgrown the need for
Him.
Let us suppose—and I know it is
purely speculation—but let us suppose
that those people who stood on that
sidewalk beneath young Juergen Pe
ters were real Followers of The Way,
had decided to live by His Will. Peters
would be alive today if that were the
case. Have we outgrown Him, or have
we merely become more ignorant with
all our learning?
Well, at least one thing is clear
when you look at the incident. All
murderers aren’t arrested. Some can
wo Ik away, perhaps to taunt—and
kill—again. —Five Star Features.
Paraguay .$16,200,000; Peru
$678,900,000 (now confiscating
American property); Uruguay,
$119,400,000; Venezuela. $392,200-
000.
In all there were 129 countries
that benefitted in varying de
grees from Uncle Sam's largess.
If there were any countries that
were overlooked, it was appar
ently an inadvertent oversight
that will be corrected as quickly
as possible. If you have been
wondering why income taxes are
so high the above is one of the
foremost reasons.
The ending of the trouble in
Charleston has had the merit
of restoring a measure of peace
for the moment; but it was not
a perfectly satisfactory solution
of the problem. It was. in ef
fect. a compromise.
Our South Carolina General
Assembly succeeded in spend
ing hundreds of millions of dol
lars; and went out of its way
to take up one or two new mat
ters and to increase very large
ly on some other matters.
I don't know how we can
choose a membership in the
Legislature that will result in
sound judgment: men who have
only limited range of experience
in business often decide on how
to spend millions. That is bound
to result in heavy taxation. Men
who themselves pay very little
in taxes can’t feel the weight
of the burden they pass on to
others.
