DULLES ON RUSSIAN ENSLAVEMENTS Secretary of State John Foster Dulles recently ex- pressed the belief that President Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration would take the lead in fostering a “long- ing for freedom” among the captive peoples behind the Iron Curtain. In this way, Dulles asserted, the enslave- ment of other peoples by Soviet leaders will be undone. We consider this approach one of the more practical ways of countering the Soviet menace. It is in the line of a counter-attack and most generals believe that the best de- fense is an offensive defense. This is apparently the new approach. There is always the possibility that the Russians can be kept so busy holding the enslaved peoples under their command in submission that they will have little time or effort to spend cultivating new areas for enslavement. Al- ready the Russians are having considerable trouble in Eastern Europe, where purges are consuming the lives of numerous citizens who are being accused of being either spies or enemies of the State. This is strong evidence that unrest is increasing in these satellite countries. The longing for freedom approach is a very potent weanon if the fires of individual freedom can be stirred in the hearts of the peoples under Soviet domination. Prop- erly aroused against Russian despotism, these people will cause the Soviet Union more trouble than several U. 8. Army divisions, or fleets of aircraft. THE EFFECTS OF DECONTROL. The first days of business without price controls have varied little, generally speaking, from the days of control. President Eisenhower removed price controls early in Feb- ruary and there were differing predictions on the outcome of the step. There have been cases of almost immediate price hikes. Standard Oil of California announced, in mid-Feb- ruary, that it was raising the retail cost of gasoline 2.1 cents a gallon at Standard service stations in five Pacific Coast states, Hawaii and Alaska. Standard had requested Permission to invoke such an increase as far back.as last August, when the Office of Price Stabilization was oper- ative. Other companies have moved to increase prices since the death of price controls. However, on the wholé, the general price level has not begun any steep rise as a result of the decontrol move, Many prices, on the other hand, have continued to go down. While it is too early to appraise the result of the de- control move, it may be said at this stage that the imméd- late effects have not been severe, in either direction. Childhood was not as pleasant as it seems. en ae 3 2s sa monte —_—— _ SLICE OF HAM Thursdey, March 19, 1958 There’s Mo pub- WORK ——p By SUSAN Newspaper women cherish peaceful Sundays just like every- one else. Last weekend I went up to Summerland Key for a restful day swimming in Niles Channel, sunning on Summerland Beach and chatting with the Hudgins family, children, and Doberman Pinscher Rod, The channel was blue and only a few white clouds. Rod, the family black Doberman ‘was diving happily for fish in the channel. Little John Hudgins was swimming with Teresa Small, a playmate. Key Westers who have lots on te bank drove. Alon the and we wage ic has as they went by. I breathed in the peaceful day and was thank- ful for the respite’ from court. rooms, Justice of the Peace’ courts, violence and tragedy that j;are part of my daily job. Suddenly Henry Hudgins drove up and came over saying: “Susan you might be inter- ested to know—that there's an abandoned car up by Liitle Torch with a four page suicide note in the car. Just heatd it from my workmen up at Little Torch.” Thé calm of the Sunday was shattered by Henry's words. : I said a swift goodbye to the peace of Niles Channel and rush- ed over to change. Mary Hudgins followed in her station wagon with her beloved dog Rod in the back. Mary agreed to accompany me to Little Torch to pave the way with her neighbors up there so that they would give me infor- mation on the mystery. At that and prices with them. Rod, tired KEY WEST IS MY BEAT MeAVOY “Your dog has been hit.” Mary asked: “Is he dead?” “No — crippled in his leg though.” We rushed to my car and raced back to Summerland Key.

The truck hit him. “Rod fought for his life, “Shor- ty said. “He jumped up in the air howling with pain ‘but then col-' lapsed dead.” Mary led the two children back lary how it happened. | re To It Than Just Getting The Job Dear Neighbor: Your Congressman was asked the other day his cpinion on im- posing a blockade of Communist China. 4 If a blockade of Red China would end the Korean War, I would certainly enthusiastically support such a move. But here are some of the problems in- volved. Very few strategic war materials are coming into Red China today through its seaports. Direct Military support for the Chinese Communists comes from Russian factories across the Trans-Siberian Railroad. It is estimated that the Chinese Reds are getting about 75 per cent of their imports,” including war materials, from Soviets. The remaining 25 per cent of their imports ¢omes from across the seas, not from Russia. So, a naval fect ‘fourths of Red China imports. Jn the first six months | of 1952, Ceylon shipped 12 and ‘one-half million do!lars worth of rubber to; Communist China. Pa- kistan shipped 54 million dollars worth of cotton and India sold five million dollars worth of jute to the Red Chinese. Other than Russia, these countries are the three largest exporters to Com- munist China. If the United States, acting by itself in block- ading China, were to cut off this trade those three countries would blame us for their economic cri- lockade would not af- | to the house.

In the first six months of 1952, this volume of trade dropped to 29 million dol- lars and consisted of shipments from various countries, such as sulphate of ammonia to be used for fertilizer and paper which were the two largest imports.

NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO si VALLE DE VINALES Nuestro Valle de Vifales, de belleza Unica en el mnundo, pare- ee un rincon donde la Madre Na- turaleza quiso derramar sus .mas precia dones, como un home- naje a la belleza de la campina tropical.

Hasta la brisa que toca suave | el rostro del visitante, parece que viene cargada de perfume de} tomillo y mejorana. Todo en este valle es solemne y digno de ad-/ miracion. Al fondo, se levanta la Cordi-| Mera de los Organos, con su ma-} gestad inigualable, poniendo en el | paisaje una nueva expresién de dignidad, que pone tambien en el espiritu del viajero, una sensa- cién de respeto, que le hace en- mudecer, frente a tanta maravi- lla de la Naturaleza. Quien haya observado de cerca el Valle de Vifiales, jamas po dr& borrar de su mente el re-! jcuerdo del instante en que ob- servandole, por su imaginacion cruzaron -_pensamientos plenos de recogimiento, que es lo que suele producir en las mentes cultivadas, la presencia de esas grandes ma- nifestaciones naturales, que ja- mas pueden ser imitadas por la mano del hombre, por adelantado que se encuentre en el estudio de las artes y los colores.

Es lastima que el cubano, cuan- do llega a poseer algunos _bienes, solo piensa salir fuera de su Pa- tria en busca de emociones nue- vas, dejando atras las grandes maravillas que se encuentran en la agreste campifa de su tierra. Bien esja que se viaje, que con ello el buen observador, se ilustra -y se supera, pero nunca salir fuera de su tierra, sin antes -nifica integridad, que solo asi pudierant establecerse compara- ciones, en las que Cuba saldria casi siempre airosa, frente a otros panoramas que el cubano en- cuentra en el exterior. El Valle de» Vifiales. tiene el privilegio de haber sido motivo de inspiracién para poetas y es- critores de otras tierras. Alli pa- rece que hasta las aves canoras, se inspiran y en sus cadenciosos trinos, rinden pleitesia a la Natu- raleza, como una ofrenda de gra- titud, por los dones que supo de- positar, para recreo de la vista y del espiritu del camnainte, que hasta alli lega cansado por las fatigas de la jornada y alli en- cuentra paz serena para su espi- ritu y reposo bienechor para su cuerpo.

Esa provincia que han dado en Iamarla Cenicienta, por ser gasi siempre la mas azotada por los ciclones del Trépico, debia de haber sido mejor atendida por los que pudiron hacerlo, por las ri- quezas que guarda en sus tierras y por las bellezas que atesoran sus campifas. Vifiales, con su valle, es uno de los lugares de la provincia, que recibe constanternente, el mayor mamero de visitantes. Pero, lo cu- rioso es, que la mayoria de los que alli van a contemplar la be-' lleza del Valle, suelen ser © ex- tranjeros, o forasteros, que desde las provincias orientales hacen el viaje, para recrear su vista ante el paisaje que alli han de encontrar y que es unico en todo el territorio cubano. Nosotros, que hemos tenido el placer de recorter toda la Repu- blica, que nos hemos sentido con- fundidos a ratos, ante el panora- ma que el campo de Cuba ha puesto frente a nuestra mirada escrutadora, podemos decir, sin tener la menor duda, que el cu- bano que no conoce el Valle de/ Vifiales, que no se ha tomado el trabajo de visitarle, no conoce a su propia tierra, Por eso hemos querido dedicar este modesto trabajo, a tan ejem- plar obra de la Naturaleza, Park, Ilinois.
