'By Request ' FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1955 Cotton Situation The latest Department of Agri c 'hire estimate on the 1955 cotton cop- makes it clear the' Govern ment must exert every effort to in crease the' export program involv i, j eotton. Senator Walter 'George, Georgia Democrat, and a number of other Dixie lawmakers recently ir-jjed the President to do just that fnd studies are now underway con cerning this problem. , It; should be remembered that ' 'the Government has not lost money on its cotton support program. That is true because in World War II the Government profited greatly from the surplus cotton stocks it held: and had purchased at prices far ' beloW those at which cotton sold-at the time the cotton was used. It is true, however, that surplus stocks of cottrfn have been building up steadily in recent years and that is the reason for the low er; acreage planted in cotton this; yean The smaller acreage planted this yea is producing more cotton per acre than usual, and that is easily understandable in view of the draught in many cotton-growing regions in 1954. The latest fore ' cast is for a crop of 12,728,000 bales. This is only about 200,000 bales less than the ten-year aver age crop of 12,952,000 bales, , '.Obviously, 'this slight decrease in -the .cotton crop-the Government's goal for 1955 was 968,000 bales will not ease the surplus situation If the Government does not develop , aB-xport program to-vease . the : growing acuteneas ofjithesiirplus . problem,' cotton farmers Will cer tainly face an even furjjier-reduced acreage in 1956. ' ; '" '- ' .V : - Fjb-Down-Payment The Government has acted to tighten credit in the housing field, stopping the practice of approving loans for houses with no down pay , ment and ending 30-year mortgage loans. iThis move was part of a calcu lated Administration effort to pre vent inflation, and is expected to reduce somewhat the number of houses built, but probably not' be fore 1956, because hundreds of thousands of applications for Gov ernment housing insurance already ' filed will not be affected. : . - It should be remembered by all those who seek to ' purchase a home that interest payments over a-thirty-year period total much more than interest on the same loan, over a twenty-year period. Thus, the man who is able to pay out in twenty years, saves money, although he must put up the monev sooner. . ' " The practice of purchasing a house with no down payment is a questionable one. Advocates of the program argue that a' government ' program financing houses without . down payments enable-he citizen in low income brackets to own his owp home. Opponents of the pro gram believe that allowing homes to be purchased with no down pay ment encourages financial irre sponsibility, sharply increases the mortgage foreclosure rate and is indefensible from the standpoint of "good business. . , -We are inclined to believe that anyone seeking to purchase his own home should be able and willing to make a down payment on it We believe, however, that thirty-year mortgage insurance is 'justified, r hen a prospective home-owner is ' 'e and willing to make a down 7ment, If the danger of jnfla T is 'successfully met, we liope j ' stretcn-out mortgage msur ' 8 "will again be made available Oie Government ..ksgiving for a former, , doth i invite " , 1 to bestow a second benefit.

FrqV'aungton COLD WAR EASES -IKE GETS CREDIT CHINA RELUCTANT DRAGONT SPREADING OUT BOOM ' Washington.-There has been a lead to World-WatHI; The Unit ed States, armed to a considerable degree' as a" result of 'the 'Korean i blunder by the Communists, now is' better prepared ' thari she evet I would have been, or ever has been I iniA WnrM Wi IT &;"..: ' . - . Time, then, from every angle, 'is what' th Communists must- play for. A war would not mean vic tory for anvone : '...It. misrht mean great easing of the cold war in ; defeat tm Communism. '. If Russia Europe and Russia since the Ge- j and china can ' gain' on the free neva Conference. Some of the W8rii .... the peaeeful interval signs have not been generally and which iookg' nrobable.' theri they accurately reported to the Ameri can people. t For one thing, ever since Geneva the Soviet ipress and radio has re frained from branding the United States as a warmonger and has stopped the rough talk that let up only for a few months then re sumed about this country's policy designs. . " ' ': In recent months the statements of. President Eisenhower and Sec retary of State Dulles have been printed in full in Russia and there has "been" a very obvious attempt to stop the hostile and bitter attacks may be in a better position to ex act 'concessions or even win a war if one arises later and if the Unit ed States hai in the meantime reduced its defenses to af minor tstate, as this country usually does when international tension eases. There are indications that China is following the new Kremlin policy more warily than the majority of Russian-dominated states, but Red China is going along nevertheless. She is still too dependent on the USSR to openly -buck the. Xrem lin's traditional role as leader and policy setter of the Communist made on this country, as a plotter; world. of future war. Responding to this change in tune, the Voice of America has stopped painting Russia as a de ceitful nation bent on misleading the world with lies whilepreparing for war. Though many Americans The Eisenhower administration began to brake the boom recently at Secretary of the , Treasury Humphrey's insistence to insure a continuation of "i good times throughout 1956. '.Another ' spiral in prices and costs was feared, and still hold to this appraisal, the of- such inflationary cycles often bring float view is that a sort of truce after them a recessionary period: in the cold war has been declared, j Had this recessionary period set As a result, the people of Europe 1 in during the middle of next year, and Russia are not getting the bar rage of hate and war propaganda they were getting a few months earlier. The credit for the Rus sian change of tune goes to Presi dent Eisenhower, who tried so hqrd to convince the Russians at Geneva that the United' States had none but peaceful intentions. i ' Some observers believe that this thawing will lead' to a. further les sening of tension 'in the cold-war field. Less abuse of each other is sure to make closer relationship possible and the current trend to ward settlement - of dispute by peaceful negotiation may be the vogue for several years .to come, or perhaps a decade or two. - . , In the Communist timetable, a few years, or evert a decade, is not much time, to spend to gain some advantage. The Reds need time to catch up with the United States in mafiy ways.. They are reducing the gize of thei-ormiea)hy 040,4Q men in an effort to impro've' We' com parative industrial and agricul tural strength of Russia" as' meas ured by U. S, attainments. Moscow knows that the Commu nist Chinese also need time. If China can be built into a powerful nation in ten years the interval will have been well worth the time. Then there are those who believe Kremlin leaders realize now that atomic war would shatter the world. . They believe this stark re ality has forced the Reds to stop short of maneuvers which might or even a few months later, the Democrats might have .had .power politicals ammunition in the -campaign which culminates in November.

"' vv. Jeremiah had prophesied (20:10): "For thus saith Jehovah, after sev enty years ' are . accomplished fo: Babylon, I will visit you and per form my good work toward you in causing you to return to this place!" -j The 70-year period' re ferred to the exile in Babylon, probably, and only a secondary way to the exile. Seventy years passed, however, between the destruction of the . Temple, in . 586 B. C, and its restoration in 516 B. C. And, at the same time, the period beginning from the' first deportation during the reign of .Jehoiakim, 606 B, C, to the decree of Cyrus, 536 B. C, is seventy years. From the fall of Jerusalem, to the return was only forty-eight years, however. . The exile had a permanent effect ., . 1. T 1-1- 1- ... 1 UKll ffie jkwisii icujjie, vreweu ns a whole.: The people should be di-J each of Which' passed through dif ferent experiences, namely: (1) the Jews" who remained in Judah dur ing the exile; . (2) tite-''Jews who went into exile but who returned to their homeland; and (3) the Jews who were taken into exile and who never '"returned to their ' original land but remained in the land of their adoption. It is .' probably worthwhile ib consider the fate of each of these groups briefly. ; The- Jews wnp remained in Ju dah were the residue, or remnant, after the conquerors had selected those they wished to deport, prob ably mere peasants without a lead er and without any organized cen ter. .... Therefore, they were an easy prey .to. the. Edomites, Moabites and adjacent peoples, who plund ered them. :They succumbed some what to the heathenism around them and their future history is scarcely referred to in the Bible. . '.'They were a negligible quantity in the religious future of Israel, without initiative or any. influence except that of a dead-weight upon the efforts of the tebuilders of the nation when these at last returned from Babylon," declared George Adams Smith. ; n ; ' When-Cyrus" issued his decree al' lowing the Jews who desired to do so to return to their own homes, the majority of the Jews remained in Babylon and the surrounding territory. During several genera tions they had become fixed and sdme of them prosperous, therefore they saw non reason-' to. change their new comforts for the irk some and arduous task of rebuild ing Jerusalem. They remained in Babylon -and flourished, establish ing schools,' creating a literature and, occasionally, making a for mal pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In the 'first: century , of. our own era, some of yiese Jews established an independent state- north of Baby lon. .Since that time,: there have been large 'numbers of Jews scat tered throughout 'the territory of the captivity. ' ; ' i The Jews who returned, under Zerubbabel, n were ' probably more spiritually inclined, i inasmuch as the entire motive for their return was a religious one-to rebuild the Temple and re-establish the1 formal worship of Jehovah af his ancient seat. These liad experienced the deep longings for the Ceremonial observances held at the beloved Temple and hey had learried much during the period of their exile. Never . again- did "they worship idols', ever afterwards they consti tuted more of a religious body than they did a state, and thfey had learned (hat their God was not the God of Igreal alone but of all the world. ' ' i , k" . s ' " Therp has often been some ques tion ag to why God used a heathen King, in tne1 person -oi iyrus, to r (CbntlaueA on Paje'Sevenj - ' r'" Does going to church seem to you old fashioned? ' Well, it is, for worship is as old as creation, yet ever-new. . '... In church buildings before the fourteenth cen- , tury there were ' no .seats. A Worshippers' stood, or sat on cold damp floors. Later, three-legged stools were used. ' Today r churches compare with out1 finest build ings in modern beauty,, comfort, and convenience. Our speech habits have changed with advancing : ' generations. Scriptural style, too, has changed, yet neither meaning nor intent has been altered, i The Bible's message remains the same a gospel of good news filled with iaitb, hope, and love-' for you, the same as for your forefathers. - Then be old-fashioned.; Go to church. Find for yourself a faith that it steadfast,-'the lame,) yesterday, today, and forever," yet modern at tomorrow.
