Refugee group
political in scope
I the editors:
Ihese are the times of humanitarian
r.cerns whether the issue in point is
-rthquake, civil war, or pollution. It is
remarkable also that each one of these
xpressions of human concern always
.,.n. tains a qualifying clause, i.e., there is
-o politics involved. Reading the other
l-. 'fFnday, November 12, 1971) in The
ij'r Heel that a "group to aid Pakistani
Refugees" has been formed at UNC, I
nought, at first, maybe the humanitarian
ruerns and the political motives have
rvjlly been separated; but, indeed that
; s mistaken belief.
Despite the claim that this group has
,:hir.g to do with the politics, it was
r!y obvious that the program of this
Refugee Committee" or "Crisis
' mmittee" (I don't know which) is
rt.iiT.ly quite political in nature and
. re. If urging the U.S. students to write
o their Senators to put pressure on
: :' i tan via U.S. Administration is not
I jl tical in scope, one wonders what is
tical. But, of course, this is a matter
perspective, and definitions are
. j-.venient arrangements to realize one's
. : purposes.
Refugees are a concern for the entire
rcrnational community. However, their
ttienent can be best realized and
. tSectively managed under United
'.'jt!ons auspices. Especially, under the
; cnt India-Pakistan Border situation, it
. , .:! the more essential to have a U.N.
r ionization conduct the settlement
p.-ration. I would, therefore, suggest
;hit students, churches, or anybody else
..yv) is seriously interested in helping
rugces should directly send their
..retributions to the U.N. Let us not
:-.e the refugees the pawns in pursuing
particular view point. Refugees should
'e given maximum help in the settlement
; ro-ess and the agency to do so is the
r..
I he suggestion to urge Congressmen to
put pressure on one party, i.e., Pakistan,
rather strange in this regard. A
: -..-condition in the solution of the
o:juee problem, at this stage, is the
uimalization of relationships between
' !!... and Pakistan. In this regard, the
j -taJents should be asked to urge their
Congressmen to help, in any way they
j can, in facilitating negotiations between

the two parties towards making peace
first. I believe, Mr. Nixon has shown a
tremendous insight into the problem by
asking both parties to restrain themselves.
At the least, the Congressmen and the
Senators should be urged to show a
measure of confidence in the way he is
handling this situation. Urging legislators
to become partisans in an explosive
situation is not going to help anybody
refugees or non-refugees. If anything,
some of the Senators should be asked to
exercise a little more judicial judgment on
the events in the sub-continent. But as it
is, some of them are also moved by their
so called "humanitarian motives."
I am glad that the Committee is going
to arrange information for the people
" . . who know nothing about the
situation at all." This is indeed laudible
and, after some thought, I decided to pass
on some information for the benefit of
those who know not. I shall do so again
through The Tar Heel at opportune
moments.

Freeze affects
foreign nations
To the editor:
Any student who traveled to Europe
this past summer and was there at the
time right before Nixon put a price-freeze
on the U.S. dollar, can tell of the
economic instability that existed in the
U.S. dollar, in relation to foreign
currencies, at that time. I for one, had
just entered Italy when the freeze went
into effect. I was fortunate, in that I had
already exchanged forty dollars for its
worth in Italian currency. Other people
were not so lucky and didn't get money
in some cases, for as much as two days.
A few days after the freeze, economic
advisers of the Common Market countries
met in Brussels, Belgium, to determine
what steps should be taken to counter the
inflow of inflated U.S. dollars into their
countries.
Prices in Rome for just about any
service or item a tourist might want to
obtain were outrageous and absurd. The
feeling one got was "Yankee Go Home."
What has caused the economic inflation
and instability in European countries?
Considering that many of these countries
back their own currencies with the U.S.
dollar as a standard, and that American
economy necessarily involves all

European countries in which American
companies have affiliations, there can be
no doubt that the American economy has
played a great part in the shaping of the
economic conditions in European
countries. In fact, the American economy
no doubt greatly affects the economic
condition of the entire globe. American
inflation is synonymous with world
inflation.
American inflation has been the result
of management not being able to keep
their rate of production of goods as
quickly accelerating as the rale of the
demanded price to produce those goods.
The faster accelerating rate of cost to
produce has forced management to raise
their price of the finished product.
Management itself is infected with
inefficiency and bureaucracy within its
own companies, which has also played a
major role in the lagging rate of
production v. cost. It is the responsibility
of management to increase the internal
efficiency within their own companies to
raise their rates of production. It is the
responsibility of the source of pressure
which causes a raise in the cost of
production that source being organiied
labor - to not demand wage increases
that exceed the rate of production and
therefore raise the price of goods making
it cost more to buy an item than it would
have before the wage and corresponding
price increase, i.e., it is the responsibility
of labor not to raise the price index.
When the cost of producing a good
increases without a corresponding
increase in the rate of goods produced,
this makes the price of the good itself
increase, so that it takes more money to
buy the same number of goods, thus
making the dollar worth less.
Somehow, labor and management
must cooperate with one another, each
realizing lack of cooperation from the
other party only results in both being
hurt. This lack of cooperation hurts the
American economy, the people of the
United States, and the world. A standard
ratio of rate of production to cost must
be established by business and labor, in
which the goal is to not exceed the set
ratio past set limits by more than a
predetermined amount both ways. If the
rate of production increases without an
increase in the cost of production, this
causes deflation as in the economic
depression of 1929. Conversely, if the
cost of production exceeds the rate of
production, this causes inflation, as is
now occurring. So an excessive increase
or decrease of one without the other

plagues a capitalistic economic system.
Therefore, a standard must be set and
enforced by both management and labor.
Yet such a necessity, at least it the
present time, is almost if not altogether
impossible.
111 never forget the time I went into a
food store and mentioned the problem of
inflation to a cashier. I said, "You know
the dollar is in big trouble because of all
this inflation." He replied "I don't care
so long as I get my wage increase. Then I
can buy anything I want, even if the price
goes up or not." His attitude reflects
what I think has been the attitude of
most peopie and, for that matter, most
countries throughout the last century.
The belief is that a dollar is an almighty
device with which can be obtained a great
measure of security. It is assumed that
the dollar retains a constant worth, that'
striving to collect more and more money
will provide great security. The fact that
the dollar fluctuates in worth, and at
times has been worthless, is overlooked.
People and nations do not control the
dollar, the dollar controls them. There is
lack of insight into the fact that unless
the economy is stable through
cooperation of all parts of the economy,
all parts will suffer.
Last, but not least, we hear George
Meany, President of the AFL-CIO, getting
his own salary raised by 28 percent, from
70 thousand to 90 thousand a year, with
the entire AFL-CIO convention in Miami,
Florida, mocking President Nixon, who is
trying desperately and ineffectively to
bring together the oppositely charged
ions of labor and management, with
George Meany having declared the day
before "that he and four other labor
members of Nixon's Pay Board will refuse
to cooperate with the board or its
decisions until they win their demands of
back pay for the freeze and full payment
of all negotiated wage hikes." Greensboro
Daily News, November 20, 1971.
Where the economy will end up
remains to be seen.

I don't know why I cren bothered to
read the story in November 1 1 th's DTH,
but an I glad I did. It was beautiful!
I hare just one question: was one Miss
Karen Pusey, the writer of the article,
truly aware of what she wrote? I'm a
dirty old nun and I know what she
wrote. I'n wondering if she's a dirty old
woman, or incredibly naire. I would like
a truthful answer to this question, please.
I ask the question because if Jesse
Helms or any redneck state legislator sees
the article, hell have a cow.
I'm referring, of course, to the two
candidates for freshman class officers
who were found not to be enrolled at.
UNC - Sandy Beech and Connie Lingus.
I wish to commend whoever thought up
the idea of writing in those names. You're
beautiful, baby!
I think the whole episode tends to
show what a farce student government is.
I wonder how anyone could possibly try
to seriously fill a student government
post after finding out that a non-existant
candidate such as Connie Lingus" had
beaten them.

To the editor:
I read with much interest the letter
from a Mr. F7rmer in the November 17
issue of the DTH. Mr. Farmer expressed a
sincere disbelief in the Bible as a guide for
conduct, as the Word of God or as having
any value at all. I'm truly sorry Mr.
Farmer and other people feel this way,
not because it harms me in any way, but
merely because of what they are doing to
themselves.
Mr. Farmer laughs at the Divinity of
the Bible and describes its writers as men
who had no desire to be prophets, yet
they continually prophesied in their
writings. They wrote between "gulps of
wine" over, by his own admission, an
extended period of time; yet their
prophecies, for some strange reason, have
consistently corresponded, and, in fact,
have come true. The birth of Jesus Christ
was predicted centuries before the event.
A great deal of His life was prophesied
and for some strange, unexplainable

reason, at least in Mr. Farmer's mind, this
all came true.
I would also like Mr. Firmer to
explain to me how in the Bock of Psalms,
David could describe the cruxifiction of
Christ in detail, when in fact, cruxifiction
was not a known form of execution until
1000 yean later. This, Mr. Farmer, is a
reasonable, historical fact that you put so
much stock in.
And yet, it b not all the prophecies, all
the consistencies or all the "historical
fact that causes me to believe in the
Bible. Compared to my personal
experience with Jesus Christ, all of those
don't mean a thing.
I became a Christian in September of
1970. My roommate showed cs who
Jesus really is, and how his life had
changed thru his belief in Him. I saw the
joy, the love, the peace of mind that he
had received, not by way of a temporary
chemical experience, but thru a personal
spiritual experience with Jesus. That
night I accepted Jesus and asked Him to
enter my life and give to me the fruits of
the Spirit. I'm still young in the Christian
life, but Christ and His Word, the Bible,
live in my life today. Jeff Colbert died
that night, 14 months ago, and I was
born, never to die again.
Because Christ lives in me, I am able to
love you as a brother, even though I've
never met you and even though you
espouse views totally opposed to mine.
T rray. SI:, h aimer, that some day in
;our Lifetime someone will show you the
truth and you shall also receive eternal
happiness and life. You may research the
Bible and its effects any way you wish,
but I might suggest that if you wish to
find any answers, research how much
better this society would be if everyone
turned on to Jesus Christ. We would then
be a society destined to live for eternity,
rather than doomed to destruction.
