Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that continuation of the plan we have been following might well undermine and destroy our whole economy? Billions multiply fast when shoveled out without restraint. **

So President Ike asks Congress to go along with him in an attempt to move back along the road to a sound agricultural economy.

One hundred years ago there lived in F'rance an economist of such power that he is frequently quoted.today by leading Americans of that line. And, with regard to subsidies, Frederic Bastiat said: "When the government takes from a man without his consent, the products of his toil, and gives it to another man who has done nothing to earn it-THAT is Communism." And it was farm subsidies he was writing about when he said it.

Before the United s."*. :";a" once again is ttre socalled "Bricker Amendment." I have read great reams of print on this subject and listened to broadcasts galore concerning same. I have wrestled with this problem as Jacob wrestled with the angel, and my mind reaches one conclusion, and only one, namely, that the most serious problem facing the American people today-second only to Communism-is the danger of internationalism as opposed to Americanism, and that we need the Bricker Amendment. We need for evei/ man and woman to get busy with their representatives in Congress, and in every other possible way, to get this amendment passed, and remove the dark cloud of internationalism as opposed to Americanism, permanently. Not since Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court, has a crisis so important arisen. ***

I admit that I don't like the United Nations as today composed and conducted. And that other outspring of the UN called UNESCO, is an evil thing that should be stamped out as though it were .a viper. These again are the times that try men's souls, as Tom Paine said. And you know what I think? I think it's going to take all the he-men and the she-women to beat the she-men and hewomen this year. The only way you could make the UNESCO thing worse, would be to make it bigger. And we should either pass the Bricker Amendment, or quit the United Nations, pronto.

.I read the other day thaq we need not worry about Red China getting into the United Nations, because, as a high U.N. official declared, "the Chinese Communists fall far short of U.N. standards of admission." Then. in God's good name, how did Russia get in? The same gang that dug long ditches in the Katyn Forest and murdered more than ten thousand Polish officers and piled their bodies in those huge graves, sit in the U.N. meetings. A government steeped in the blood of millions of innocent people sits side by side with the representatives of civilized lands, and are treated as equals. The American boys who died in Korea were not killed by the government that ordered and conducted the war. I'm like a man I read about the other day, who said: "The greatest mistake this nation ever made was in recognizing Russia; so now, why don't we un-recognize her?"

Sure nuff, why don't *., i."ru 1,o.r"g Henry cabot Lodge make a speech defending the United Nations. He admitted many great weaknesses, but thought taken all around, it is worth keeping, and staying in. He's a nice, likable young man. Made a pretty good speech, I thought. But he failed utterly to make a case, in my opinion.

Here is the sort ", .nr"r"" J" ,r..u to hear often, the words, of Bruce Barton, of New York, a top citizen, and grand thinker. He said: "The world's best hope for peace is a prosperous, powerful, and intelligent United Statespowerful enough so that a majority of the peoples of the world will line up on its side, and be willing to fight; intelligent enough not to dissipate its substance all over the world, stick its nose into age-old quarrels that it cannot settle, or kid its allies with wholesale promises of more than it can possibly deliver or perform." That, good friends, is what is called talking sense.

To my friend Fred Wheeler, lumberman of Cairo, Illinois, I am indebted for a recent issue of the "Illinois Building News," lumber association periodical. And in that booklet I found an article righq along the line I have been writing, that I shall take much pleasure in re-printing right now. It is entitled "A Fable the Red Rodent." Ffere 'tis.

"Once upon a time a gang of rats holed up in a village and began to take over, and the village was in a pretty bad way. So the people got together and selected a head man, and they said to him: 'Go to it, Brother, and clean 'em out !' The head man, knowing something about rats, got himself a whoppin'big club and he started swinging. The first few which he laid out had long tails and rat whiskers, so everybody agreed they must have been rats.

***

"Then some of the people got excited and said: 'Hold on there ! We're in favor of what you're doing, but we don't like the way you're doing it. You're too vicious with that club; you might hit some poor innocent guinea pigs who were dumb enough to hole up with the rats. You gotta use caution and due process!'

"But, every time the ;"": :." would holler down a rat hole and say 'Are you a rat?' all of the rats would snarl back: 'I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me.' So the head man went back to his club swinging, and the little group of people who didn't know rats began to raise quite a ruckus, and before long all the people were throwing clubs at each other. The rats? Well, they just sat back in their holes and chuckled. MORAL: There ain't no rule book on rat killin'."
