I count not myotff to a here apprehended: blit thi* one thing I do. forgetting those | things which are behind, and ' reaching forth into those things which are before. I press toward the mark for pciae of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." —Philippians 3:13-14. It was a normal sunny morn- ing in the city of Sodom. Sud denly the whole city was in an outrage, fire and brimstone fell from the heavens and set the i buildings, the houses and people on fire. This God that the people had paid no attention to was at last proving His exist : cnce. He was wiping them off | the face of the earth. Out of the city ran a man, his wife and two daughters. The wife in an excited moment turned and looked back at tho city. With no warning at all a strange S change came over her, she was j froze into a perfect hard form, she had become a pillar of salt. She was the woman Jesus spoke of many years later in one of His lessons: “Remember Lot’s y wife.” (Luke 17:32). This wo man had been strictly warned to not look back but the temp tation was too great. She prob-. | ably wondered if God would really destroy a whole city, or she may have longed after her burning hyme. Nevertheless she looked back on the old life she was supposed to leave behind. We likewise are supposed to leave the old life of sin and worldiness. We must leave be hind the gossip circles and drinking buddies and look for ward to a new way of life. We should be seasoned by the pillar of salt Lot’s wife left behind and press forward following in the Master’s footsteps. To the man that has conquered drink, 1 if he turns back he will again: be engulfed by this great temp tation. If a candle is blown out a small ring of smoke will arise, if a match is olaced to this smoke it will run right back to the candle and begin a new flame. To break away from the old temptations they must be laid down and never tampered with again: there can be no slow weaning off from Satan. The man who resolves to stop drinking must quit then and there but first of all he must BURSTING WITH VALUES FCX SPRING SALE UNICO Battery B 550 G° SALt 111 mBbI "’IaLE 75 Cm," 1 Payg; sl2" WS* MfHw $799 is. 15, tube type (6ply) .

He. said, “This is the playing bar used by Bill Kaloa. It is hollow and has recently contained heroin. It is the same , bar 1 used on the flight to the i Islands; I can vouch for that.

Luana was weeping softly, her face in her hands. “Luke the Uke was the black mailer and when he confronted Bill Kaloa, Bill killed him.” Dr. .Wescott turned sharply to Bill Kaloa. “Bill, when I enter ed this room a short while ago, you were replacing a broken guitar string on your guitar. It was a large, strong bass string. When Luke earlier made his blackmail demands, you were preparing to replace this string. You had it in your hands.

E. Hollows’l of Edenlon, opera tor of Chowan Veneer Com pany. The article was pre pared by Hardwood Plywood Manufacturers committee. Because of the importance to Chowan County eoonojp ically. both- to its industry and to the agriculture, of foreign trade policy, this ar ticle representing one view point on the subject is be ing presented in its entirety except for two statistical fables. For The Chowan Herald's position on Chowan County's . stake in foreign trade read-, ers are referred to the edi torial "Chowan and Foreign Trade" appearing also on this page. The article by Hardwood Plywood Manufacturers Com mittee follows: Our Foreign Trade Policy A Vital Issue | The President has announced that he will press for the enact ment by Congress of HR 9900 which will grant to him absolute authority to lower by 50 percent ! all tariffs and to eliminate our tariffs on agricultural products and products in which the I United States and Europe have 80 percent of the foreign trade. The prenegotiatjon determina tion on injury (Peril Point) will be limited to advice to the President. The inadequate au thority now provided for the granting of relief where imports Ido serious injury to an Ameri can industry (Escape Clause) I has been changed to require proof of. widespread plant dos ing, prolonged unprofitable op eration and unemployment. To express it more succinctly: bank ruptcy-widespread. | j It is stated that this program is required so that: (1) reduc tions of tariffs may be granted, to the European Common Mar ket countries; and (2) to sus tain Japan’s spectacular rate of economy growth by rapidly in creasing the exports from Japan by securing for the Japanese ac cess to the European markets now denied to Japan, in ex change for the United States 1 granting tariff concessions to European countries. The Administration and t.he collaborating spokesmen ac knowledge that this program will require the sacrifice of American industry and their workers, and propose adjust ment assistance to workers by dele for one year and for owners guaranteed loans and govern ment' control of the assisted company. Workers and their families who have' been certi fied may be retrained. On February 21. 1962, Secre tary of State Rusk advised the textile manufacturers that, if they would be hurt by the pro posed Trade Program they should shift to other lines (Ne,w York Times, 2-2-62). How many other industries will also have to try to shift? Imports, because of lower unit price, had a greater impact on the domestic industry than the dollar value would indicate. For example, our imports in shirts, in 1960 had a value of 14 million dollars. This would mean 7 to 9 million shirts at our factory prices, but imports were not 7 or 9 million shirt-.?, but 24 million shirts. At our value? this would represent 36 to 48 million dollars. In terms of man hours to pro duce the imports of 1960, valued jat 14.6 billion dollars, it would require exports of double this dollar value or 30 billion dollars. The proposal to stimulate ex ports by granting concessions on imports will result in turning over to imports a much greater | proportion of our domestic in dustrial activity than is gained by an increase in exports. Trade concessions will have little effect on exports or im ports of raw materials. In 1960, 85 percent of the imports of agricultural products and 56 .percent of the imports of raw •material entered duty free. The export of agricultural products is also unresponsive to tariff negotiations. Os the 4.2 billion of exports in 1960, 1.3 billion were exports of gifts, barter or for soft currencies (Public Law 480), and 1 billion of the Gqvemment-owned prod ucts exported under subsidies (these, exports cost the Treas ury another V 4 billion dollars). In addition to the above, mili tary food supplies, mutual secu rity program exports and other | grants for subsidized exports add up to considerably more in! 'dollar value. At least 60 per 'cent of the agricultural .exports j will exist, 40 ipatter whig tariff concessions are granted. Hie V. s. duty on leaf tobacco today has been - reduced under On the flight fro mthe - States, irSSSSsSwi reductions. Since 1956, imports I of leaf tobacco- have increased' from 84 million \ pounds to 118 million pounds, or 40 percent, and the dollar value has in creased from 61 million dollars to 84.5 million dollars.’ Over-all tobacco imports, including to bacco manufacturers, have iiv creased from 94 million dollars in 1956 to 121 million dollars in 1960. The countries in the Common Market intend to eventually | eliminate all tariffs within the Common Market. At the same 'time, they will erect a common j tariff barrier against the United | States and other countries out side of the Common Market. For example, -the proposed common import, duty on tobacco, for non-member nations is 24 percent. Tobacco valued be tween 44 cents and 64 cents would carry the 24 percent rate., When the tariffs within the Common Market are eliminated the tariffs between the member countries and their colonies, on tobacco will be zero, while j I American tobacco will pay a 1 minimum of 24 percent ad valorem. The Common Market has no intention of eliminating tariffs on agricultural and man ufactures from without. “France Actuelle,” a semi monthly report on modern France published by a private, association of French business-1 men, has this say with refer-1 ence to the Common Market and agriculture: “In the field of agriculture,] American farmers are concerned] about the future of their mar-! kets in Western Europe, for] food and tobacco make up! about 22 percent of U. S, export? to the Common Market coun tries. Farming within the Com-; munity will become more mechanized and efficient with' , the evolution of a common agri ] cultural policy, and the devel opment of a common agricul tural market will tend to favor internal producers as against outside suppliers, but all this' will take time and leave room for negotiations. ‘Whether these' effects wHll be offset by the ex-' pected rise in total demand for food and tobacco is debatable,’ says the Chase Bank study.” (Emphasis ours.) Congressman Cooley of North Carolina, in a statement re leased to the press, had this to say about the Common Market: “Today, (here has been no evidence that the U. S. has been! offered any concessions which j will aid in keeping U. S. to-1 baccos in the Common Market countries on a footing which would be equitable to i what itj was before the Common Market; was organized.” If the fanners support the President’s program which makes no provision for protec-! tion for American industry, the farmers will undoubtedly find] reduced home markets for many; of their products. Wc are presently a low-tariff country. Under the Tariff Act of 1930, the average value of ad! valorem equivalent of U. .S. duties collected on dutiable im ports was 50 percent. Between 1934 and our entry into World War 11, this had been reduced! to 38 percent. Since World War' 11, under GATT, this has been reduced to 11.5 percent (1959). This represents a 69 percent re ] duction since 1934 and a 70 per- j cent reduction since World War] 11. At the present time an addi tional 20 percent reduction is being negotiated which will re : duce the average to in the area of 11 percent. Immediately following the War there was great concern in our country for “the dollar gap.” Our trade policy has transferred the burden from j our shoulders to the welcoming shoulders of Japan and the I European industrial countries. Since 1950 the United States has accumulated an unfavor able trade balance of 21 billion dollars. In 1959 and 1960 the deficit was 1 3.8 billion and for 1961 it is now estimated to ex ceed 3 billion. In 1951 we had gold reserves of 24.3 billion. By 1960 these reserves had dwindled to 16.8 billion, a loss of over 27 percent. So far in 1961 the gold withdrawals have exceeded 900 million, so our reserve is now depleted to less than 17 billion. As our gold, reserve declined, the foreign claims against our gold supply increased. In 1960 they amounted to 31.4 billion dollars, an increase of 57 per cent in five years. Thus, as the foreign countries withdrew 27 percent of our gold reserve, they also increased their claims against the balance by 5 per cent in a five-year period. Thus, I we' see that the claims against our gold reserve exceed the re serve by at least 3.6 billion dol lars. In addition, by our laws, we are required to keep in the Jthe foreign claims for our al -11 ready insufficient gold reserve? I This is reverse economics and cannot, be explained. Everyone ( predicts a decline in exports as ! ter 1962. . ; ! I In 1960 the percentage of un- J employment in the United | ■ States was 5.7 percent. It has ' ; increased to 6.8 percent. Total 1 manufacturing employment for I j the ' period 1954-1960 fell far } short of the 18.’4 percent popula- • | tion increase. Increase of em- j ‘ , ployment in manufacturing fell j i, , short of the. requirement by f' ; some 1,384,000 jobs. This means j that 50 percent of the job ex- *’• pansion in manufacturing indus tries which was ‘needed to keep < pace with the population inj , crease was not realized. In ads dition to (he failure to keep pace by increasing jobs, a num ber of industries suffered direct . losses of jobs due in whole or in part to duties ihcrlased their employ- ,1 ment did not f' match thsfsipcentage needed to .' equal the population increase. 1 Therefore, '< while faced with , heavy unemployment and an obvious inability in our economy to create sufficient jobs needed to meet population increases, it is nevertheless proposed, that we sacrifice sdfoev of thp jobs pres ently heldflßfS order to create a broader Tor imports from I Western European countries, J which enjoy low unemployment and great prosperity. 1 The administration’s proposal ( | is directed solely to the hope of ; increasisg exports, regardless of | the consequences that may re- ! I suit from increased imports. •( | This policy proposes an incen- i tive for one sector of our econ- i i omy at the price of disabling < other sectors. Fifteen years of tariff reduc ! tions and trade negotiations ■ have failed to improve Ameri ca’s over-all rate of growth. Os the industrial countries, the United States is distinguished by the lowest rate of economic , ; growth for recent years; Japan the strongest, three times that .' of the United States; the Com ' mon Market and other Indus • trialized Western European coun tries twice or better than the United States. It is true that the tariff reducing program has wiped out the dollar gap and has transferred us from a fav , orablc trade balance to a deficit trade balance.- The theme that , is broadcast today and which |-was broadcast over the years, that we must lower our tariffs jso we can increase our imports ] in order to trade for lower du ties so we can export. The dol , lars we spend on imports do ! not return. The dollars have j not been spent on products ' made in the United . States. This is established by the flight of our gold reserve, and the tre- < mendous' increase in the short -. term gold claims held by for -1 cign countries. j Another question which is ig- ] nored. We have paid for the right to expdrt to Japan and the i Western European industrial countries by our reductions in tariffs of approximately 70 per cent on ' the average since the War. The duties in most of the ! countries are higher than ours .j so we have not succeeded in securing the reductions we have ] 1 paid for. It is now proposed j t. at we nay for them a second I time by eliminating all of our i 1 tar.ffs.
