Ambassador Young visits Oregon
Addressing the DemocratK Party
o f Vegon's Annual Wayne Morse
Banquet. Ambassador to the United
Nations Andrew Young said working
w ith in the government to bring
about change is more ditficult than
protesting the actions of an uncaring
government " It was extremely easy
and issues were very clear when 1 was
a part of a demonstration We knew
exactly w hat we wanted and we knew
who was good and we knew who was
bad And we knew very clearly what
was right and what was wrong All
we had to do was stand up for what
we knew to be right.
“ Even as a member of Congress
with the administration of the other
party , it was very easy to cast a vote.
Whether you won a particular am
endment or not, simply in the fact of
casting the vote and standing up for
a principle, worked to bang about
things that Wayne Morse started as a
lonely voice crying in the wilder
ness.”
Having worked with others to
limit the secret decision making in
the White House and to limit in
telligence activities at home and
abroad. Young Finds himself in an
administration still bound by those
limits. “ So having had wisdom and
integrity to lim it U nited States
power, we found ourselves having
limited that power while we were
outa nd coming in and having to
learn to live w ith the lim its o f
power.”
Another limiting factor is that the
“ system says that all of us . . . are
endowed by our Creator with certain
inallienable rights. And among those
rights is the ability to determine
through a vote of the majority what
the direction and policy o f this
nation will be.
“ That is why it is hard to move for
ward when we know what needs to
be done . . . yet when it actually
comes down to making the decision,
that the United States o f America
must rise and fall on that decision, I
must confess that I ’m not so clear on

the answers to the problems.”
Young explained that there is a
constant struggle of competing ideas
and interests and “ in the struggle it
self is the essence of Democracy, in
the nature o f the decision making
process, because all the competing
energies o f all the various factions -
all the diversities - come together in
a framework where we can struggle
together ro Find a formula through
which we can continue to live
together and to move forw ard."
The d iffic u lty is that in com
promise, an answer is devised that is
not completely satisfactory to any
one. This is what President Carter
has accomplished in the last two
years, trying to pull together a con
sensus in a nation that has been
divided and trying to chart a con-
cilliatory course. “ He has kept us
together and has given us enough an
swers to almost any problem that all
o f us can continue to live together
and work together with that
problem, but none of us is satisfied
with the answers that we get.”
Regarding South A frica, Young
predicted that a show down is
coming over Namibia " I f we are to
have any kind of relationship with
South Africa and if we are to break
o f f relations w ith South A fric a
through economic divestiture, then
the case must be so clear that the
American people will understand it
and support i t . ” Using the te r
m ination o f the adm inistrations
boycott of Rhodesian chrome as an
example. Young explained that if the
people do not clearly understand and
agree, the administration's actions
would be unsuccessful. “ So it is not
enough for me to vote or not vote on
something in the United Nations. 1
can only vote on things in the United
Nations if there is an adequate un
derstanding throughout the Ameri
can population why we are doing
that and if we are committed as a
result o f that understanding to
together make whatever sacrifices
are necessary fo r the long range
moral interest o f this nation.”

THE MEETING OF THE M IN DS
ECLIPSE
The meeting o f the minds is held
Once daily on the lawn:
The minutes are recorded by
The moon upon the dawn.
Nocturnal shades move cross the grass
.And fade into the trees.
As birds begin their morning song.
The sun winks it agrees
The worms slide down into their holes
To escape its scathing rays.
As robins try to prove the rule
That being early pays.
The frogs slip back into the pond
To lurk for careless flies.
While squirrels forage ‘neath the firs
To add to their supplies.
Bees begin their visitations
To clover at my feet.
The placid pond is lightly roiled
As bass begin to eat;
And me, 1 sit impassively;
I ’ m waiting for the gong.
1 smell the bacon cooking now;
I ’m sure it won’t be long.
