writers found their way into overseas libraries of the United States? Of course the dignified Dean isn't going to come forward, nor is he going to explain. We are told that those books are being eliminated from our overseas library. Which doesn't settle the matter by a heck of a lot ! Ask any American you meet and see what he thinks about it ! Not only should the truth be told about who is responsible for that mass of Communistic literature being shoved into our libraries, but whoever the guilty party is he should be punished. If what he has done is not sufficiently criminal to jail him, at least he should be named and ptrblicized and held up to public scorn so that those who run may read. Why should anybody be allowed to get away with such a deed?

You don't think, uo ,o,l ;; reader, that those innumerable subversive books got there by accident? That didn't just happen, did it? It couldn't possibly have been coincidence, now could it? Some person or persons with hatred in his heart for the United States, made those arrangements! Who? You know, don't you, what Teddy Roosevelt would do in such a case? He would say-"Catch them and bring them in." Wish my friend lke, whom we so much admire, would say the same thing.

We think ihe speech about "book burning" which President Ike made, and which got so much publicity, was a great error. It started all the subversive tongues shouting that the President was criticizing the destruction of Communistic literature. It is most unlikely that he had any such intention when he spoke the words that some ill-advised person had prepared for him. Anyway, he tried to offset the opinion when he intimated on June 17, that putting anti-American books into foreign countries under United States auspices was "practically traitorous action." Sure ! And we should take the proper action to corral the "practically traitorous" perpetrators of the deed.

We have declared in tii":";*" severat times of late that if the American people, and especially the American taxpayers, had a chance to express their opinions, there would be some mighty changes made in many of our big national affairs, such as spending abroad, farm subsidies, and others of vast importance. Since which some very interesting testimony has been produced in that direction. Three United States Congressmen, one from New York and two from California, have recently sent out questionnaires to find out how their constitutents stand on some very important matters, and their replies should make an impression on every one of our national policy makers.

The three Congressmen are Stuyvesant Wainright, of New York, and Pat Hillings and Joe Holt of Southern California. They asked somewhat similar questions. One question was: "Do you think the United States should bomb Manchurian bases and blockade Red China?" The replies were much alike. To this question Mr. Wainright's replies were 70 yes, 10 no, and 17 no opinion. Another question was: "Do you favor reducing our foreign economic aid program?" 85 of Mr. Wainright's answers said yes, onlY 8 said no'

Mr. Holt asked his people: "Should Congressional committees continue investigating Communism in the field of education?" The replies were nearly 10 to 1, yes. He asked: "Should the present price-support program for farmers be continued?" 57 said no, and 26 said yes. The other two Congressmen found their replies heavily against continuing the farm support program. It was heaviest in New York.

Makes this column kind of proud. It has been saying that the people of this country are opposed to farm subsidies, economic foreign aid, and Communism in education. At least here are three Congressional districts where the voters are heavily on our side and of our opinion. And those same citizens are opposed to allowing the Communists to hold sanctuary forts in the Korean war. They favor a war to win, just as Bill Cunningham said in his broadcast'

Farm subsidies and farm surpluses continue to attract the attention of the newsgatherers of the nation, bgt there is no room for discussion of same at this time. The latest thing on the subject was the announeement that it has been costing the Government $40,000 PER MONTH to store just the surplus peas alone which we have bought to support the market price of that vegetable. Think of that, forty thousand dollars a month just to store peas. Wonder what it costs to store butter? Now there must be a fine item !

Maybe the joker was near right who, when asked what farm subsidies are costing this Government, replied: "Ten billion dollars, based on daylight saving time."
