EDITORIAL FEATURE ! i i Happening* Thar Effect the Future of Every Indi\idual Xational and International Problems Inseparable from Local Welfare The debate over the role of the U. S. in Asia, and specifically in Viet Nam, raises strong passions in this country and around the world. There is little wonder that this should be so when peace is at stake. In assessing the ac tions of this country, one fact must be considered. The United States holds the balance of power in the world. In a recent issue of U. S. News & World Report, tire dimension of this power was stated: “The U. S. has more strat- gic missiles, nuclear waepons, mis siles-firing submarines, heavy bombers, aircraft carriers, long-range transport planes and helicopters than all the rest of the world combined. American land armies, though small by comparison with those of Russia and China, have greater mobility and firepower per divis ion. Backing these military forces in the field are a huge military reserve, and the world's greatest industrial establishment It is America's ability to place vast arm ed forces thousands of miles beyond its own shores that makes the U. S. the key to the world balance of power.” It can be arranged that this country is »n much the same position as England (was during a good part of the 19th cen tury The British fleet patrolled the world unchallenged, master of the seas. The weight of this power, thrown to one side or the other, prevented the domi nance of any other nation or group of nations For the most part, there was pence between European countries whose colonial empires extended over much of the world. Can the United States assume a less responsible role today in using its vast resources on the side of stability by seeking a balance of power that would Dr. Donald F. Huelke made a four . year study of all fatal accidents in a 1 Michigan county', in which 180 people 1 were killed.

I David Lawrence writes, in U. S. News § & World Report' “We in America . . . have established ‘foreign aid’ programs ft involving billions of dollars a year. It’s I true that many of the projects have been * poorly operated and that some errors k have.been made. But the goal should not 8 be forsaken. Rather, there should be a * wider recognition of what can be achiev -1 ed for world peace and for our own self- I preservation by bringing to the people f of the world better and better living con * ditions . . There is only one way to | stem the tide of revolution. It is to im f prove the living conditions of peoples a everywhere so that, when they have a I teal chance to assert their right of self f determination, they will be able to * choose efficient leaders, maintain eco- A normc stability, and thwart intrigues of f Communist infiltrators.” f f DID YOU KNOW THAT Tuskegee Institute opened its doors July A 1881. with a $2,000 appropria tion from the Alabama legislature, a single shanty, 3 students, and a faculty of one: Booker T Washington? * * * * I DID YOU KNOW THAT Cigar-making consists of assembling the three parts of a cigar into a unit?

Just about e /eryonc will concur in that. But. as past history has proven, this may turn out to be whist After Reading The CAROLINIAN Give it To A Friend j limit tlic expansionist aims of the com- A munist countries? It seems, to many. I that since tin shoe fits, it must be worn. The goal of the United States in A southeast Asia should be to make of 8 that area a strong point rather than a " threat to peace. Viet Nam itself has the k resources to be a successful country p with an energetic people, food and tim- * her resources, hydroelectric potential, k unlimited water, fine beaches and . en- I cry. As a result of U S. action there. Vi- f ct Nam is gaining modern jet airfields A and the finest harbor facilities between 8 Hong Kong and Singapore. The United f States has offered to aid in the develop- i ment of the Mekong Valley which Viet 8 Nam shares with Cambodia. Thailand, W and Laos. * China, held hack now by U. S. mill- A tary force, must ultimately be restrain- 1 ed by her own self-interest, rooted in the . need for profitable commercial ties with A strong, independent Asian neighbbors 8 Japan to the Northeast and. it is to be hoped, the potentially effective coun- A tries of southeast Asia to the South. Finally, the inevitably of change in " Chinese leadership must be considered, k All of the hard line revolutionaries how 8 in power are in their late 60’s and 70’s. * A recent Life magazine article observes k that Mao Tse-tung, now 72, “ . . . has 8 expressed with startling frankness his f doubts as to the revolutionary militance k of the next Chinese generation They 8 might even be men with whom the West T could attempt: a comprehensive settle- A ment of the major issues dividing us ...” 8 And so. there are two sides to the.coin, f The U S. inherited responsibilities in a Asia, but with them perhaps also the 8 leverage to help foster the kind of co- J operation between eastern nations that » would permit peace and possibility of a I better life for all. V I Voluntary restraints on foreign invest- 8 ments, if continued too long, will ad versely affect the U. S. balance of pay- i ments. This opinion was expressed by I Robert H. Stewart, Jr., of the Gulf Oil Corporation. He added that these re- A straints could also adversely affect our 8 national objective of fostering growth * in the less developed countries. k Federal government spending for ▼ highway, air and water transport will k hit a record $5.8 billion this year, a 8 study by the .Association of American f Railroads discloses. The spending total, A now nearly five times sbeh outlays of 10 8 years ago. represents an increase of more f than S4OO million over 1965. A If most of the other cars are passing f you on the highway, better adjust your a speed to match the normal flow of traf- 8 sic. The Portland, Oregon Traffic Safe- * ty Commission advises that slowpoke » driving can be just as dangerous as I speeding on modem highways. f An editorial statement in the Chicago A Tribune says: “ ‘Negotiation’ is a mag- 8 ic word to pacifists and those who open ly or covertly support the communist A cause. But negotiation is an infinite dan- B ger to the United States.
