Shame on us, shame on humanity, shame on the church for letting a sin and a mockery to God such as capi tal punishment go on in our na tion and in our state and prac tically nothing be done about it. It should grieve every soul as it grieved the poet to think, “What man has made of man.” We are THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTOK. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 25. 1962. doing a miserable job of pre serving the wonderful life that God has entrusted to us. When a man walks in the North Carolina gas chamber and is gassed to, death then that poor human soul has been let down by you and I. Is this, I ask you, the love of God that we Chris tians are supposed to show to our fellow man? God sent to the world His Son as a saviour, we send God souls that have been slain, souls that could well be lost. Is this the world’s thanks for Jesus? Was it not the Almighty Himself that wrote these 'words on the tablets of stone, “Thou shalt not kill.” Was it not the Son of God that said, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” We have abso lutely no right to defy these words of our Creator and send a soul out into eternity to face judgment Just because a few mortal men think this is what he deserves. Don’t think that capital pun ishment helps stop crime, of the ten States with the highest mur der rate in 1960-61, nine of these states use capital punishment. You may say, “Well, I don’t have anything to do with it.” I tell you that every one of us is a part of human society, we men have shaped the world, and it is a pity, “what man has made of man.” We’re all guilty and we need to do something to stop this terrible mockery of God’s image. No, we can’t let crimi nals roam free in our world but at least we don’t have to slay them like mad dogs. We need to carry this great burden to God in prayer, asking His guid ance in helping us to attack and abolish capital punishment for ever, and then we need to do just that, stomp it out. I would like to know your views on this matter . . . write me, Terry Jones, P.O. Box 9018 Buies Creek, N. C. | SENATOR ; : Sam Ervin i - SAYS Washington One of the fi nal items on the Congressional calendar was the Foreign Aid appropriations bill. I . voted against the measure. In my judgment this bill is detrimen tal to our foreign policy. It pic tures the United States as a very deluded old gentleman who squanders the resources of the nation abroad under the delu sion that you can buy friends and purchase peace. Moreover, I think the advocates of this year’s appropriation presented a weak case to substantiate re quests for large segments df the bill. This program, which has been an instrument of national policy for some years, has come to mean all things to all men. It has many standards and many objectives. Therein lies much of weakness. Its laudable objec tives are military assistance to bolster nations against the threat of the Soviets and to a limited extent development programs to deter Communism. But then the program has branched out to more than one hundred nations, including friends, neutralists, and potential foes. Where other ar guments fail to secure aid, it is said that we ought to build a better world and provide jobs for Americans through these funds. It is small wonder that in such a vast program it has become difficult to administer American tax dollars in a pru dent manner. When the Senate considered the bill prior to the Senate- House conference, this was the basic point at issue. It was il lustrated by amendments offer ed to the bill which the Senate rejected. For example, there was concern - over the SSOO mil lion provided for Korea in the face of recent General Account ing Office statement about aid to South Korea which saidr “that the level of aid, which averaged in excess of S2OO million annual ly, was beyond the capacity of the Korean economy to absorb productively or of its Govern ment to administer efficiently.” There was concern over India receiving tremendous sums of money from us in the form of development loans for periods of as much as 40 years at interest charges of % of 1%. At the same time, evidence was present ed that Japan and West Ger many make similar loans to In dia at three to six percent in terest. Soviet Russia receives 2 Vt% interest on its comparable loans to India. Interest on our national debt costs our govern ment three percent or more on the average. The tragedy is that our recent additions to the na tional debt can be measured by the amount of our foreign aid. There was concern in the Sen ate that we are assisting nations through development loans and other aid, and in turn it has be come a practice in some Latin American nations to confiscate American property without due compensation to United States citizens. And, some foreign aid is just absurd. Someone sent me a newspaper account recently which stated that we had spent $250 thousand to build a soccer field in Brazil. Even aid of ficials have reluctantly conceded that if Congress eliminated aid to a dozen of the 70 or more countries receiving aid currently that it would not be detrimental to the program. '■ Wfe ai*e and have been delud ing ourselves in recent years by believing that we can instill a /WW\/VWWWVWWWWVWVWWW' | far the Mika of your home j! ji J love of freedom and a will to fight Communism in govern ments and peoples through im prudent loans, grants, and gifts. I have stated many times that I would favor a reasonable amount of aid to those allies who will stand with us in the strug gle in which we are engaged. This bill was not so restricted.
