Dear Mr. Triando: No this column does not be | lieve there will be any war witii Russia in the immediate fore seeable future; in spite of what ; diplomats say about an incident occurring beyond their control which would serve as a cause for starting a war.

They also provoke incidents which if car j ried to extremes might be the ! cause of starting a war. But j they are clever enough to know j just how much the Western THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTOWTfORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 17. 1959. World will stand and stop short of the forcing point. The risks of war are too great for Russia to assume. In the first place it would afford an opportunity for I the satellite countries to rebel, such as the Baltic States, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Ro mania, Bulgaria and also Jugo Slovakia. These countries form a ring around Russia and it is generally believed that if given an opportunity they wculd fight against Russia and this risk is too great. Then again within Russia itself there is a possi bility of rebellion. There is no sign of a united people; it is be lieved that there are a great many different racial and ethnic : groups with eighty or more dis- < ferent languages and dialects and < in spite of the so-eaffied marvel- , ous educational system they do : not have enough teachers or schools to amalgamate these dis- < ferent racial and language ' groups into a composite Russian. ; In fact there are very few real i Russians or Muscovites in pro- 1 portion to the other racial groups 1 in Russia., This is a risk that i the Russians will not assume, a ! i possible rebellion within their 'i own country if the opportunity,; and leadership is provided. How-' i ever, in dealing with Russia one ; thing must be definitely under-:; stood: you cannot trust them 1 under any circumstances, for un- ■ < der their teaching there' is no . moral, ethical or legal respon-I 1 sibiiity for anything. They will : agree to anything so long as it * is to their advantage and then ‘ disavow any agreement they do not want to keep. It must be': understood that their ethical cui- ■ ture has no regard for the hu- : man being as an individual; they ; have no concept of mercy, justice i or charity; whereas Western cui- , ture is founded on the principle of human dignity, mercy and justice. This is illustrated by the appeal fhr help when many | Russians were starving in the j For Sale 13-Acre Farm on , Yeopim Road Consisting of six-room, two story dwelling, one pig parlor. ] one farrowing house, one ' sheep barn and allotments of tobacco, corn, cotton and pea- j nuts.

They opMte stated that they did not believe in char ity or mercy but were willing for the U. S. to show them by furnishing food. The 'Hoover Commission did a wonderful job, of saving the lives of millions of Russians at that time, but only did it under the most restrictive and diffiult conditions as the Russians tpied to prevent any idea of Christian help being used as the basis of furnishing the food. ’ East Berlin is being used as an incident of provocation but the deadline has been extended into the future several times from the original date of June 25th. However, the Russians are clever and they are winning in other ways to force the accept ance of communim which every recent Russian visitor has said would be the type of government our grandchildren will have. The Russians are winning in the field of propaganda and eco nomics. This country is being forced into debt and inflation by the threat of war and the ne cessity for preparing for it. Our national budget provides for over one half of the budget to be , spent for military budgets; our so-called liberal government is , spending us into socialism with , an increase in our debt to 295 billion dollars; our farm subsi dies and other subsidies are in creasing the debt each year and the carrying Charges are mount ing. Then labor is forcing us out of a competitive market. Imports are increasing in every field where it is becoming a serious problem. Even in steel the imports of steel are now mounting to a sizeable amount as foreign countries can produce cheaper than we can because of cur high labor costs and fringe , benefits. The balance of trade is going against us and faith in the dollar is not holding up so j that our gold reserves have been : depleted from a high of 24.5 I billion dollars to 19 billion dol lars and it is nredicled that we will have to devalue the dollar by increasing the price of'gold from thirty-five dollars an ounce to some say seventy-five dollars an ounce in order to get gold to build up our reserve. Then if we are faced with any emer gency we could not support it by taxation. Taxation . has reached about the limit nation ally and locally, t'Jjat is state, i county and' city taxation. Sol that if wo are faced with such an emergency we undoubtedly will have a dictator to control all of our economic and individ ual activity. The only question is who will be the dictator; the military; a group of industrial ists or a strong personality like Mussolini or Hitler or even Stal in. Once a dictatorship and we are through as a free govern ment of, for and by the peo ple. But high government debt, inflation and high lobor costs are driving us inevitably to dic tatorship, and Russia wins with out a war. / Dear Three P's; My mother is a widow and a wonderful person as well as a mother. Recently she was intro duced to a man who has shown considerable interest in my mo ther. She has an income more than sufficient for her needs. This man, while good looking, has nothing and only has a mediocre job just enough to keep him going. I am afraid my mother will succumb to his soft soap and wake up and find that all this man wants is a feed bag. What should I do? —Anxious Daughter. Dear Anxious: Os course, this is a constant problem; the ne’er do well loak ing for a permanent bed and a place at the table. However, are you sure that this man is of that type. If he is then you should have a talk with your mother in a helpful type of at titude and not a forcing one. If your mother is as you say she may see the danger signs for herself and put up her guard. On the other hand your mother still has an active life to live and loneliness is a bitter pill when it becomes too late to do anything about it. If this man is at least half way decent, then it may be an answer for your mother’s loneliness. Go into it carefully and I believe mother will see your point of view.

This Committee has investigat ed some twenty or more unions which act as collective/ bargain ing agents for several million j men and women employed in | industries affecting interstate! commerce. 1 From the time of its creation down to July 14, 1959, the Com mittee held hearings on 262 days and heard the testimony of 1,505 witnesses. The printed records I of these hearings now cover ap- 1 proximately twenty thousand pages. In addition to test : monv| of these witnesses, the files of' the Committee contain hundreds I of unprinted exhibits and tens of thousands of letters written by persons residing in all sec tions of the United States. The testimony taken by the Committee revealed malpractices in unions and labor-management ( relations which shocked the con- i science of the nation.

Ney • ertheless, the testimony taken by the Senate Rackets Committee showed that such malpractices were sufficiently widespread in some segments of the union i movement as to require Con gressional action to prevent or | punish their continuapce. After I all, John Stuart Mill was right when he said: “Laws and in stitutions require to be adapted, not to good men, but to bad.” Since I had devoted so much of my energy and time' to the work of the Senate Rackets Com- j 1 rnittee, it was inevitable that I 1 should be deeply concerned with j the adoption by Congress of leg-' I isiation adequate to deal with ' the malpractices revealed by our j investigations. I am glad to be able to say that the Senate has adopted by a vote of 95 to 2 a bill which will prevent, or punish the mis application of union funds, the destruction of union records to I conceal such misapplications, the ; occupancy of union offices by I unreformed felons, and the granting of union charters to - known racketeers. Moreover, the bill guarantees basic rights to union members 'and confers, upon them tfie power to elect their own officers by secret ballot, and to manage their own affairs. , The' bill likewise contains pro visions to outlaw blackmail pic • keting,. hot cargo contracts, and | I secondary boycotts. It likewise: I abolishes the no-man’s land in' the field of labor law by giving I a to state agencies or state courts I the power to handle, labor con troversies in which the National Labor Relations Board refuses 1 to act. Thus the bill deals in an ade quate fashion with the malprac tices revealed bv the investiga tions of the McClellan Commit tee.
