Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov told Western officials that the Soviet Union was willing to meet in several places, suggest ing Vienna. Western diplomats were willing to meet in any of several countries. The question had been whether the Russian Premier would be willing to come to either Switzerland or Aus tria to meet with Allied leaders, something Joseph Stalin and Georgi Malenkov were al most never willing to do. Stalin came the closest to being that ac commodating when he met with Allied lead ers at Yalta. But even at Yalta he was in Russian-controlled territory. Russian leaders have been notorious for their reluctance to travel beyond Russian-controlled territory. Many observers have put that down to tradi tional suspicion and distrust that is character istic of the Slavs. Now, however, Premier Bulganin is willing to leave Russia and Russian-controlled terri tory, to meet with Western officials. There is significance in this and there is the hope that this attitude might be a sign that Bulganin will be more reasonable, more trustworthy, than his forerunners. Western diplomats noted that Molotov— in revealing the official USSR position—was friendly, frank and not nearly as reserved as usual. This from the cold-blooded deception artist, Molotov, might mean little. But certain ly the willingness of the number one leader in Russia today to come to a neutral country to meet with Allied leaders is an indication that progress is possible at the prospective Big Four meeting this summer. Breakfast and Reducing To all those either reducing or planning to reduce, we would give the following ad vice—keeping in mind that advice is seldom wanted and ever more seldom followed when given. - It has become fashionable—especially dmong the fairer sex—to include in one’s plan for losing weight the omission of breakfast Yet recent knowledge proves that skipping breakfast is an improper way to. diet which seldom makes for effective weight reduction. Scientists are almost unanimously agreed on this point. Skipping breakfast usually re sults in one or two things: either compensa tion for the loss of food at breakfast at other meals, or compensation for it between meals. Moreover, unless there hi a severe case of nervous tension involved, the body needs a balanced breakfast at the beginning of a work day. We will add one more word of advice to members of the fair sex, and that is non-pro fessional advice. Over-emphasis on the slim figure is resulting in the <h7ing up of several million American females. It is getting to the point where the local belle who has a figure resembling one of the 10-inch boards off the back fence is envied by other ladies in her community. Impact of Social Security Experts estimate that a million Americans will come under the Social Security pension plan/ in this country each year from now on. The' program is 20 years old, and the number of Americans being retired under the program has not approached figures which are now be ing recorded.' Though some of us are unaware of it,-the impact of social security in the United States is having a profound effect on the economy. Although Social Security and pensions have been commonplace for many in other countries for decades, Government pensions and the many pensions now being offered by private businesses are just now encompassing the vast majority of Americans reaching re tirement age. This is a factor which will tend to ease the effect of economic recessions, open up new jobs for younger workers, increase jobs by maintaining a high level of buying power, and act as a stabilizing influence in other ways. This is one reason many business experts be lieve the level of purchasing power in the country is likely to stay relatively high in com ing years. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS “The nation’s farmers, despite much Capitol Hill lament about weakening farm prices, appear to be doing fine,” reports the Wall Street Journal in a news roundup. It adds that “spot checks in rural communities around the country find farm folks in many instances spending more freely than a year ago.” Most farmers, it seems, talk more about recent drought troubles than about the easing in prices, which are off an average of some five per cent from the comparable periods of 1954. First of all, the farmer’s economic gains can be truly described as spectacular. Due to greatly in creased output with greatly decreased manpower, per-capita cash income from marketings has in creased nearly sixfold in 15 years, as against a three fold jump in non-farm per-capita personal in come. Secondly—and this will come as a surprise to most non-farmers and perhaps to many fanners as well—the best money returns have not been from the crops which are bolstered by government price supports, such as wheat and cotton. They have come, instead, from cattle, hogs and chickens, which are not supported and are sold in the free market The output-manpower relationship is the big thing. Between 1910 and 1940 there was little change in the farm population—it held to a 30, 000.000-plus level. “Then,” says the Wall Street Journal, “came the machines. Between 1940 and 1954 the number of trucks and tractors on U. S. farms increased threefold. Milking machines increas ed fourfold, grain combines fivefold, mechanical corn pickers sixfold. And, after holding steady for 30 years, farm population suddenly slumped nearly a third—to about 21,000,000.” In that same brief space of time, agriculture output soared by more than 30 per cent, smashing all past records to smithereens. There was a great deal more money, and a lot fewer people to share it. In 1940 farm per-capita in come was $272—last year it was about $1,367. As the paper also points out, “Farm income is not scattered evenly around the land.” The top 12 farm states have more money income than the other 36 combined. California is now first in mar ketings, closely followed by Iowa. Illinois, Texas, Minnesota and Indiana come next, in that order, and the other middle states, with New York, are among the leaders. On the other hand, a group of Southeast ern states starting with Louisiana and running across through South Carolina, but excluding Florida, had the poorest showing. Their incomes in 1954 were down as much aa 21 per cent from 1953. A big cut back in cotton planting and severe drought were the reasons for this. Even so, the paper quotes an Atlanta observer as saying Southeast fanners “are not singing the blues,” and that “there is no reason to believe that they are not making their normal average purchases at-the retail counters throughout the area.” To sum up, the farm picture in general is not as black as some paint it, even though prices are down from the peak. And by comparison with the conditions of 15 years or more ago, farmers are doing extraordinarily well.

And the willingness of 1 the Russians to meet with western ; leaders seems to tell two stories. First, the agreement on a Big 1 Four meeting shows that there is trouble in Russia. Russia is faced 1 with a gigantic problem in holding ! down the populations in occupied : countries, and in former countries i now included in Russia, and mil- : lions under the grip of Communist ! rule for ten years now are grow- i ing restless. The new rulers In Moscow hope to profit from a Big Four meet- j ing through propaganda, possible concessions and in other ways 1 there is a chance the Reds will 1 themselves be more inclined to 1 make some concessions this time. 1 But the major revelation from '■ Russian leaders may be the tip off that the Communists have con- ' eluded they could gain little more i from western countries by utiliz- i ing the threat of war. If they ap- i pear more reasonable in the up- i coming Big Four meeting, this will : be the reason. 1 Russian leaders know the turn- ‘ ing point for Communism is either ! at hand, or just past. Two arch ! traditional enemies of Russia, Germany and Japan, have just be gun to move, officially and finally, toward rearmament and military alignment with the democracies. West Germany and Japan, each on opposite sides of Russia, when { they are rearmed, pose an answer to Red power and threats. Japan lost her chance to defeat the Com munists when she refused Hitler’s ardent pleas for an attack “in the back” on Russia in 1941. The Jap anese reward for this neutrality was the Russian attack in 1943. For ten years now the Soviets have not had to contend with a Germany or a Japan. Fortunately the democracies occupied areas in Germany which included fifty mil lion of seventy-five million Ger mans and the United States oc cupied Japan. The Russians thus lost their chance to prevent the re emergence of these countries as in dependent nations. Now that West Germany and Ja pan are beginning to rearm, Rus sian leaders face an immediate choice. If a fight is to come be tween east and west, the Com munists will fare better before Germany and Japan are rearmed If the Russians are not ready to participate in a fight now, conclud ing they would lose, because of the unrest at home and in slave coun tries, then better relations with the democracies is a must Some Communists no doubt be lieve the time to fight is at hand, before Japan and Germany are rearmed, but they seem to be in a minority. It is thought that Chi nese threats to attack Formosa might have been secretly encourag ed by those who thought the U.S. might be bled white in China be fore she could successfully guide the rearmament of Germany and Japan. But top-level Kremlin pol icy seems to have turned against war now. One major military threat the Communists will utilize in the fu ture, even if they ease relations with the democracies, is the threat of steadily rearming East Ger many to counter West German rearmament In this way the leds hope to dissuade the Ger man people from aligning them elves with NATO powers, and empt them into a policy of neu rality, in hope that Russia will igree to reunification. But Japan may be on her way. )nce rearmed, Germany and Ja >an, two countries which contain hree-fourths as many people as tussia, and which have a larger ndustrial capacity, will be able o counter the Russian threat them elves. Thus the desperate effort o delay West German rearma nent. The latest economy appraisals ontain good news; the business >oom is to continue throughout he year and into 1956. For a long ime there was much hedging on he part of economic forecasters in business conditions in the last ix months of this year. Now, however, there is little re uctance on the part of most of hem, to predict a good final six nonths in 1955. Some even go so ar as to say business will be good hroughout the first half of 1956, ind maybe through December of hat year. Tbe business boom is urprising some of the experts. It las vigor and continues at a fast >ace. When it will end is a question lot easily answered with guesses •anging all the way from the pre liction that the country has em larked on a "new era” to those hat the election year, 1956, will see the end of the current business splurge.

C HYMN OF THE WEEK By REV. ERNEST K. EMURIAN GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN The white minister who was to become president of a great Negro university picked up a dictionary in his study, at the First Con gregational church, Washington, D. C. He thumbed through the pages until he found what he wanted, and then made some notes on a pad at his side: “Farewell—fare thee well. Wherever you go, whatever you do, however circumstances affect you, may you fare welL” Another vol ume furnished an interpretation of the slang expression, “So long”, ■>nd hinted that it was possibly an English corruption of the Moham medan greeting, “Salaam Alaikum” which means “Peace be with you”. Noting that the French farewell, “Adieu” or “Au Revoir” means “Till we meet again”, he then look ed up the word ‘Goodbye". He jot ted down these notes: “Goodbye— God be with you. Can God go with everyone? Suppose they don't want Him to go with them? Is this not a parting word for Christians on ly?” With that he looked up the var ious “Farewells" in the New Testa ment and found these references: Acts 15:29, “Fare ye well”; Acts 23:30, “Farewell”. From the origi nal Greek, he discovered that these words have a wide variety of mean ing, including “God make you strong, but strong; be well; be firm; enjoy good health; rejoice; be joyful and be full of poy.” Since his Sunday evening congre gations were growing, the resource ful pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Eames Rankin (1828-1904) featured evan gelistic singing. He had already edited a book of gospel songs two years earlier, “Gospel Temperance Hymnal”, having been publised in 1878. Even before that, some of his original hymns had been included in “Song of the New Life”, publish ed in 1869. This particular Sunday night in 1880 he wanted to close the serv ices with a farewell hymn. The only good one in the standard hymnal was John Fawcett’s “Blest be the tie that binds”. But Rankin wanted something different, more of a lilting gospel song than a dig nified hymn. Not finding what he wanted, and with the results of his recent study of the dictionary and the Bible in his mind, he sat down and wrote the first stanza of his own “benediction hymn.” God be with you till we meet again. By his counsels guide uphold you; With His sheep securely fold you; God be with you till we meet again. He sent the words to two musi cians, asking them to try their hand at composing an appropriate tune for the stanza and chorus: ‘Til we meet at Jesus’ feet, God be with you till we meet again.’ The tune that suited him and reemed to express the spirit of the • Television Programs •' ?

J. The music so pleased the poet that he wrote seven additional stanzas to complete his new hymn. It is interesting to note that Mr. Tomer had been at one time on the staff of Gen. O. O. Howard, after whom the great Negro institution of high er education, Howard university, in Washington, D. C., is named. Later Dr. Rankin himself was to serve as president of this universi ty for seven years. Dr. John W. Bischoff, blind or ganist of the author’s church, re vised the new tune slightly, and it was sung for the first time by the poet’s Sunday night congregation in his own church. It is strange that a hymn so simple that of its sixteen lines eight contain the same phrase “God be with you till we meet again”, should have such a hold on the af fections of Christian people. But, for good or ill, it has, and, with or without the chorus, it is sung Sunday after Sunday as a “parting hymn” and as a “Christian good bye”. It was first published the year of its composition in “Gospel Pells”, a collection of hymns and songs edited by the pastor, his organist and his Sunday school superintendent. ■HWWHtHWWIWWHWWtW LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To The Editor: All of us here at Mount Allen College are truly grateful to you for the interest which you have taken in the College this year.
