Senator Burnet R. Maybank, of South Carolina, told: the Senate he knew of one builder that fot a loan representing 120 per cent. pf, the’ building costs. Senatoy Russell B, . Long, of Louisiana, told of one that got as high as 150 per cent of costs. Senator. Paul. H. Douglas, of Illinois, de- clareds that “Woiie builders did not put up any mbnby; and, in some cases, made mon ey on the FHA-insured mortgage. | of the bill make it illegal builder to get a govern~ ment-insur@d | atin in greater amount than the actual Bost: of the housing. This is a generous pro’ ision, it seems to us, and any< thing that Went beyond this liberality was, as ‘Serlatot! Maybank declared, “a dis- grace.’ | * Now, ind loan can be had for an amourtt gr éater than 90 per cent of the value pf thé eampleted project, if the Sen- ate bill is approved by the House, nor can ‘it be high an the total cost of the phy- sical impr ent, excluding land cost, legal nocgeent.° improvements, such as strqets Ingdevelopments. ré,4onge again, we have ar illustra- tion of so d private interprisé, with ‘the gdvertiiefit, in. the past, advancing funds for: the entire costs of some projects but with ie dividuals getting the prof- it.

By contrast, the propospl for American aid is so entan- gled int political objections that some com- mentators oubt it will ever be approved. This provides the Communist propa- ganda,mithine, with some first-class ma- terial. The American hesitation to help India ip a time of need is cited as_ proof that we have éyil designs against the peo- ples of Asia &fid the rest of the world, in- asmuch as the teason for delay it that In- dia hag failétt to support the United States positioh with respect to China and Korea. The latter point is true. Iftwe fail India for-this reason, we fail our own: principles. 1 Iffahybédy wants more of it, there are scientists to assert that life is possible on other planets, YUGOSLAVIA REQUESTS ARM$ AID The anti-Méscow Communist Govertt- ment of Yugoslavia made its first request for military equipment from the United States, Britain and France abou. & month ago. The matter was kept secret but in- formed sources suggest that the westeth powérs have,sét up a joint committee to pass on Marshal Tito’s request. The Yugoslavian leader ,seeks artil- lery, tanks, small arms, communications equipment arid spare parts to bolster his de- fenses against the threat of invasion by Russian and satellite troops. According to reports, he does, not believe that any . in vasion is imminent at the present time but wishes to modernize his . army and step up his defensive fire-power against emergencies. While no publie decision has been made, it is generally assumed that the United States and the other powers will lend a favorable ‘ear to the request from Yugoslavia. While Communist in form, the government of Marshal Tito has been nationalist in loyalty, questioning the right of the Russians, as the Communist leaders, te-eall the tune for all other Communist countries: The-Yugoslavian position is taken as “heresy” by the Moscow Com- munists and the‘break between the leaders of the two countries is described as basic and: permanent. Anybody who plays Russian roulette has our sympathy. DEVELOPS THROUGH AGES While we do not know as much as we would like to know about the early _his- tory of the human race, it is apparent that somewhere, sometime, the tribes’of the prehistori¢ ages developed a__ priinitive plow, which led to the cultivation of the soil and made it possible for men to live in permanent, populous communities. Agriculttre has made tremendous strides since the» first. man fashioned a plow f some forked tree. It is a lohg way from this tree-type of plow, whichis pictured on Egyptian monuments, to the modern plow’ ‘ised in this country, We must ‘remember that, in some backward areas of the world, the tilling of the soil continues.in primitive fashion. Even in the most advanced countriés, where civiliggtion has=devedoped,. its full benefits have’ been slow to reach the tills ers of the soil. This naturally «resulted from isolation but . countries with , good roads, telephones, radios and newspapers, exhibit an accelerated progress in agricul- ture, Because modern agricultural machin- ery costs money, it is not possible for the average farmer, in many instances, to take advantage of the developments of science. It is necessary for farmers to fos- ter mutual cooperation and, through farm organizations, to make available to all members the use of the best and most mod- ern machines. Another development in modern agri- culture is the appearance of the special- ist. This often occurs when some individs ual purchases modern farm mathinety and makes it available to other farmers, either by rental or by undertaking a specifie task for a specified. amount. This. practice should be encouraged wherever necessary to make modern machinery available to the farmers of any community. History is like music—those’ who know it best can make it best. EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC SERVICE “If the skipper of the Ship of State asked you to help reef a sail in a stormy sea you respond willingly and offer your services quickly, even though you do not, approve of how some of the sails are set.” This quotation is taken from a recent statement issued by Adolph Smutny, now serving on a committee to voluntarily re- strain credit, although disapproving the policies of thé government in dealing with inflation. This statement demonstrates his loyalty to this country despite his views on monetary and inflationary issues, which, no doubt, exhibit his independence, ini- tiative and intelligence. The nation has millions of citizens, who are ready to give their servicés if they can direct the parade. What the country needs is a greater number of © citizens, ready to serve like Mr. Smutny, despite differences of opinion, but in order to as- sist all of us to solve our emergefiey prob- lems and maintain the sound e¢ondmy wp- on which the nation’s permanence de- pends. “WHAT Today’s Anniversaries “This Rock Of Ours” By BILL GIBB It is gocd to see that the mass hysteria that 2ccompanied Mac- Arthur’s return is beginning to fade away. We're at a point in the conduct of our foreign affairs when it is neither the time nor place to allow emotions to rule var. He is entitled to the homage af the people. But in the Korean war he has acted more in the manner of a politician than a soldier. He wanted to play the game but only if it was played y his rules. That’s a little too uch power to place in the hands of a man who has lost contact with his homeland for a decade and a half. We went to war, (call it police action if you like), last July-- almost a year ago. Boys are dying| over in Korea. -They.are giving up all the good things of life for us here in the United States. And what-are' we doing? Tl tell you .°. We're fighting among cereeves about a theatrical general who is allowing himself to become: the catspaw of the Republican Party, President Truman is our Com= mander-in-Chief. Forget the fact that he is a Democrat. We fight our politics out at the polls. Right now, let’s fight this Korean; war and get those boys over there} back home. They can tell us whether Tru-' man or MacArthur is right: or/ wrong when they come home. Providing that they all don’t go} “Asiatic” from the news and treatment they are receiving about stateside affairs. Rambling Thoughts Remember back during: war—a’ writer suggested that. ail war criminals be con Island? I-have a better suggestion. Falcon Island, located among the Friendly group of the South Pacific, is one. of those» “tows you-see-it, _nOw-you-don’t” —_ is lands, It was discovered “in 1865), and ~ named] by H.M.S. Falcon after the ship. In 1877, H.M.S. Sappho reported seeing the island. in 1880, there ’twaren’t no island there. In 1885, Falcon was: back in its proper © location—standing about a hundred odd feet: high and a mile long. In 1894, another ship sailed over this exact loca- tion—no island. Later in® this same year, still another shia ported Falcon as three miles long. Not long. afterwards, if*be- gan to disappear agajn. You can se¢ from this. that Pal- con just doesn’t act like a_ie-! spectable island ought ta oe 1927, Falcon Was again standing iome: five hundred feet out of the Pacific waters. Now my suggestion is this: Why, not take the leaders of the Democrat ties, place them on the islan@y ahd! tell them they have. to stay, there: until they decide to work peace; fully and sensibly together? ; Being island folks, we should be able to appreciate the horror that these -political leaders would feel'if Falcon began to sink into sea. I kind of think they vould patch up their differences quickly—mighty quickly! us.
