The same Washington told us to repeal the excess profits tax. The next thing to do was to bury the GPA, leaving a taste of sugar and weak controls on top of the ground. Well, we are beginning to see what the blun dering on the domestic front will cost the masses. Already, take-home pay has been reduced by more than five billion dollars I Individual savings have dipped to the low fmftnTWlHiAr MX vea,s Already a majority or the dally wage earners have depleted p their-savings down to a margin of one week, ') meaning that unemployment will find them \ rolls if they are out of work one j weekg| And yet. corporate profits last year u clirr.Wd 34 percent. •j W Sftiington told us that bv lending Brit ain about four billion, our economy would ■j benefit'.-: Britain finds high prices in this V country i reduced the value of that loan y consideraHy.

And such blundering is be - ginning ju cause many folks back home to doubt all that’s being told them. .1 ( t ons. 4tr a lorih. or ti l.iI'iiig Tivv? Bv Rulii Taylor. Each of u.s 1ms a burden to carry. Each of us has a load tout seems too groat for our strength. With one it may be a burden of grid, with another poverty, with another ill-health—or heavy responsibilities, heart aches. misunderstanding, stifled talents, ex pected opportunities that never materialize. What We make of these burdens, depends upon ourselves alone. They are our load of wood, which we alone can carry. To srtfne their burdens are a cross under which the body is bowed. The valiant may strive to carry the cross, but each step be comes more difficult as the load weighs down trih 'Spirit and tires the heart. A lew glory in martyrdom but being a martyr is a lonely life. To others their burdens are a torch.

They tend their sorrows, not to remember them—but because their griefs have made them warm-hearted, ready to give to others even that which they may never possess for themselves. To bear a sorrow bravely is a noble thing. But, I think, to bear a burden graciously is the bettw; part Once 1 knew a woman who was livift^ia life of what seemed utter drudgerjj^dded to by the ingratitude and queruloiBness of the one whose burden she was trying to lift. When someone commis erated wfbuher on her lot and commented > on her cheerful, considerate attitude in face ’of provocation, she said: “Well, If I am go [ to be a martyr, the least I can do is to be pious one. There is no sense in both of eir.g uncomfortable.” remembered that, and in my own IBF have tried to follow her teach ings. She planted a living tree whose seed has been sown far and wide. We can make of our burdens a cross, or a torch, or a living tree. Which do you do? Muzzletl I Much has been said about the Russian Iron Curtain, and while there may be a eur j tain, there is some reason to believe that the sit satimr Ip ? •beep somi whal exaggerated. htryi recent *» Jertriatien coming frfmv.jj&e.’fifiit&iu can Embassy right in MKttHf*' •' Armond D. Willis, an information official stationed in Moscow, tells a picture somc i what different from the one that has been blown up on nearly every front page in the country and shouted over every radio net work. Willis, 52 months in the Navy during the war and a former administrator at Northwestern University, was apparently muzzled when he tried to tell a story. And apparently because he dared to tell what he saw was the truth he was kicked out by our own officials. In his parting statement, Willis was quot ed as saying: "Members of the American embassy staff in Moscow' are building their reputations and their careers on being ‘Russian-haters.’ "You can’t be in the Moscow embassy five minutes before you hear some vicious crack about Russians. "1 think that most of our difficulties with the embassy staff w'ere caused by the fact that my wife and 1 were just two ordinary guys finding a lot of average Russians who wanted to know us Americans better, who wanted to get along with us Americans as friends, and who liked us. "We were just two normal people, finding Russians the same. But information I was releasing was going contrary to the beliefs of the American embassy, namely that Americans and Russians can’t get along to gether, that there is no place in this world for Russians and Americans.” Very likely Willis will be branded a Com munist by many in this country. But it is about time to listen to the Willis’s and stop swallowing so much propaganda born of hysteria, hate and politics. “At Ithrrs See Du’’ Christian Science Monitor A recent crop of speeches should give Americans furiously to think. The world, declares Dr. George N. Shus ter, member of the United Nations Educa tional, Scientific and Cultural Organization, fears American domination. No American military strength, but cultural domination through movies, radio, books. To this many people would add the fear of economic dom ination. Dr. Shuster describes as a great American illusion the belief that “every body likes us.” This seems to deny flatly that reservoir of good will toward the United States describ ed by Wendell Willkie and other Americans abroad. Hut perhaps the important thing is that the two attitudes coexist and that American actions in the next year or two will determine which one becomes predomi nant. The challenge is underlined by a speaker at a conference on Near Eastern affairs at Princeton. Why, asked Dr. Malta Akrawi of Iraq, should it be so easily assumed that the West should serve as a model for the East? Must the Flast go through “the same program of rampant nationalism?” Does i progress mean only the Western record of great Wealth existing together with great : poverty and of constant economic disaster? Tlws complaint to""" the whole of Western civilization, and Dr. John H. Randall, Jr., of Columbia told a group of educators recently that Western 1 civilization faces a rebirth or the grave. He ( camd-'lflW!: is almost a he said: In our world now we are face to face with ! Oriental ciViliz-uRr-r?-in-• Russia" «««!••• where. Their ways of living are different, j but we've got to get along with them in this world. Whether there is another renais sance depends on us. . . . Without direction we’ll go “at each other” instead of with each other. Americans have long been noted as sales men. Now they have a job of selling de mocracy (as tire finest product of Western civilization) to the world. But the people of 1 the world want to be s(ure that what they buy is going to work. And they are not willing to have a one-way trade—all im- < ports and no exports. Americans must learn ! as well as teach, listen with humility as well as lead with confidence, do as they would , be done by. ! Is this too much to ask in the world’s crisis?
