Bobby Smith Gives
ore Information
On Life In Burma
i j By BOBBY SMITH
' ' To my host father in Kan Gyi
village I asked this question:
"What1 dq you think of Ameri
ca?" For a minute he paused
and then replied, "I think Am
erica is- a : great country, that
her people r live in plenty, and
tha she epjoys the highest
standard 6f living in the world;
but at the same time I believe
-that .many 'Americans are today
living in a false or unreal at
mosphere." ; He continued " by
stating that "as Burmese we re
alize that we art not driving
,ard enough for the things we
iiik we need, and wc are aware
fhaf i we are JJ not industrious
enough to try1 p -itaW-niahT 6T
r goals" On the other hand,
added, in an . industrialized
untry like .America, '.I, think
people are driving too hard with
a speed' that is almost unbeliev
able and that many times they
do not know in what direction
ihey are going." v
i "Americans believe that money
can i buy1 most "everything," said
Jny host . father. , "They pour out
millions . in foreign , aid, hoping
tlo, ;win friends and .' influence
fMKiple. td the democratic idea.
What they forget is that proof,
belief and understanding win
friends.'' , ."Yes, I believe- jn de
mocracy J' he confirmed, "but I
want to choose it for my own
self and not to have it rammed
down my throat. You Will find,
my son, that the people of Bur
ma want to choose - their own
tyfe 'of life, their own system of
government, and that they want
todo these things with thejr
own minds.' Did not America .
t ;uve this : opportunity? I - doi

Outlook For
expected to continue in 1960.
Fertilizer prices in the first
half of 1959 have shown a 2
per cent decrease from the previ
ous year. Prices in the coming
year are expected to show little
change. '
Policy measures aimed at con
trolling inflation have resulted
in a sharp curtailment of avail
able credit and the second high
est interest rate In history,
"in 1960 credit for agricultural
ourposes will likely be difficult
to obtain and then only at very
high; interest; rates. r ,
. , Taxes on farm" property have
increased sharply for the past
several years.,.., Taxes on farm
real estate in ; 1960 are expected
to. equal or slight, exceed the
5 per cent increase in 1859.' r
Prices of farm land have con
tinued to rise, especially in the
South, . Demand for land is
strong and there are fewer
farms on the market This de
mand end price trend will con
tinue in 1960.
Farm wage rates in mid-1959
were 9 per cent greater than last

"Success," tlie

"haSllnany forms and for one to
