PACE FIVE ADAPTABLE TO ASSISTING WORLD v u Methods developed by tHe Institute , . . of Inter-American Affairs,' a unit of . the State Department, seem adapt. , able to the effort to assist peoples of - " the world to improve their condition. . I he Institute now administers twen- ty-five programs in sixteen countries, ' although its appropriations have been - reduced from a war-time peak of $16, ' 000,000 to $6,000,000 a year. Recently, ' an authorization extended its life for five years with ' authority to spend $7,000,000 a year. , The technicians and. experts who serve on the programs now underway ' are in dose contact with the admin ' istration of the country in which Uiey ' do their work. In only two small vuiuabiucM uvea iue umtcu omwo ytj as muh as half of .th funds used on " ' a joint project In health projects in Brazil and Venezuela, the other coun tries contribute as much as $20 to ' our $1. It is noted that when funds from this country for assistance in the fields of health, education and - 'food protection were reduced, after thn war. the cooDeratinir countries ' p stepped up their contributions, .'w Outstanding examples of succass , "- fuls projects include the health pro gram in Guatemala an dbhe agriul- tural nroeram In Paraguay. Only four ountries are now without pro jects Argentina, Cuba, the-Domini- ' can Republic and Nicaraugua. The latter two are included in the fourteen requests for new projects but Argen- - tina and Cuba have not asked for any ' assistance. i WHY NOT STRESS : . RELIGIOUS FREEDOM? ' In his address to Congress, in Janu- , ary, we laie rresiii, cuu- - lin D. Roosevelt enunciated the state. menx ox policy wmon uaa oecn uiuwu as "The Four Freedoms." In it, the 1 - President called for."(l) Freedom of '"'speech and expression; (2) Freedom ' of every person to worship God in his own way; (3) Freedom from want; - and (4) Freedom from fear." ' . Without going into explanation of ," these freedoms, we are interested in the concern which the United States, as a nation, has taken in these ob jectives, with the notable exception of -' item No. 2. There is much taflk, for ' example, of attempting to solve- item t. No. 3 by the Point Four program of President Truman and everybody gives lip service to Point 1. The "free- , dom froim fear" includes talk- about S. disarmament artn tne safety oi peo ples everywhere from aggression. In the discussion of what this na tion is prepared to do for the rest ei ine woria, especially m regara iu - the expenditure of funds it is empha sized and re-emphasized that these ,i : i .I. i i j nations snouia aeveiop proper aemo - cratic processes. Upon no occasion have we seen a statement from the . (President of the United States, in " connection with any foreign aid pro posal, that the United States takes an equally firm stand for the "freedom of every person to wor- , ship God in his own way everywhere in the world." The matter comes to mind in con nection with a report of religious persecution in Colombia, made Jby Daniel W. Pattison, an official of the " Presbyterian Church in the United- --, States of America, who recently re . turned from an inspection of Presby terian properties in South America. - He protests the present regime or ' persecution, citing the following in cidents: " In the environs of Cali, ten thurch 3 es .have been burned, several pastors ' jailed, a . missionary assaulted by po. and a wedding broken up by police, J ' who arrested the clergyman and at tflked participants. In Marchy he re ports "the last outpost" of Luther anism in the Department ofvBoyoaca , w as . burned to the ground. "These i jt',-.i-'.i ! -i - l r n-A Vi uui oi peraecuuvii, uwutreu inr, rat- times." ;He says that sworn state. ments can be obtained from those who have suffered. ThA PreflhvtArian mffuinl aarra Mio the religious persecution fs "occur rinir in thn rural areas and is t. Mia hands of the national police or mayors of the smaller towne." The mavwM lare appointees of the President and, in turn appoint tne ponce. They us ually represent the reactionary po litical party which identifies itself with .the Roman Catholic Church, but Mr. Pattison says that "better equ ated and responsible Catholics" de plore the acts of violence. We call attention to th.es retm-nta and discuss the general idea, of free dom of religious worship because the united states is spending and about to spend billions of dollars for the purpose of creating a world in which individuals can be free. If thin ,he the purpose of the nation, it is es sential that freedom be embraced, in full and without reservations and that the prestige and finance of this coun. try be used in accordance with the ideals and principles of those who be lieve in 'all forms of human freedom. TO ESTABLISH Ifr'S.. WORLD POLICIES , ' The foreisrn nolicv f toie TTniteH States has been, by constitutional pro vision and by custom, almost exclus ively m the nands of tne Onief Execu tive, who is, and has been, in a nosi- tion to comimit the United States upon grave issues without consultation with sny other elective representlative of the people. During the stress and strain of the years lmniediatelv tirecediintr World War, II the late President Roosevelt, in an effort to secude bi-martisan sun. port of his policy to aid the nations against Hitlers aggression, installed in ni3 cabinet two prominent mem bers of the Republican Party. Sub sequently, the bi-partisan approach to international affairs has been much stressed by the consistent collabora tion of Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg, of Michigan. His recent illness probably helped bring about a weak ening of this rapproehemen which cul minated in the attack of Senator Mc Carthy upon the State Department. it nas always been recosrmzed that the United States, as the world's mostJ powerful Jiataon. should develon a con sistent policy in foreign affairs. If the relations of this country to one nation depended upon the outcome of the elertdons, it would be impossible to formulate anything like a perma nent program in connection with in- Telephone Calls are like Pearls to Her Hearing about a wedding learning pf a new baby in the family listening to a child speaking his first words prec ious moments these.

THE NORFOLK & CAROLINA COMPANY Elizabeth City - Edenton - Manteo Hertford Sunbury tcmational affairs, While -Congress has little constitu tional power in regard to diplomatir matters, even though the Senate has to ratify treaties the . House holds the purse strings. In recent years our policy has depended largely upon the willingness of Congress to provide the money to implement our program abroad. This gave to the House some thing like a veto power over foreign affairs and coupled with the Senate's ratification powers, tended to compel the Chief Executive to seek the full support of Congress before launching any positive foreign program. This condition of affairs is likely to exist for many years and, consequently, the necessity for closer cooperation, be tween the Executive and the Legisla ture is recognized. Members of Con. gress have repeatedly voiced the ob jection that the President keeps them in the dark, coming to them only to ask ratification of what has already been accomplished or agreed to. Obviously, it would be much better if the Congress, through proper chan nels, is informed of the ramifications and difficulties of our complete for eign policy. This would enable mem bers to exercise some voice i nthe for mulation of the policies they will be required to support by legislative action.
