BY BECK Such Is Life 4 Salem, Oregon, Saturday, July 30, 1949 THE FIRESIDE PULPIT "Our Santa Claus Complex" In a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post, William Vogt, scientist and writer, author of the best seller, "Road to Survival," which painted a dark picture of the multi plying peoples and wasting riches of natural resources, questions the wisdom of President Truman's "bold new program" for developing the globe's undeveloped areas of the earth at American taxpayers' expense. Under the title of "Let's Examine Our Santa Claus Com plex," Vogt cites his own knowledge of people and coun tries gathered as chief of the conservation section of the Pan-American Union and in other jobs dealing wth the earth's resources and first hand study of the "undeveloped areas and backward people" of the world. He would sup plant visionary Utopian do-gooding with old-fashioned American horse-sense.

Army Seeks to Swap Corn for Polish Rye By DREW PEARSON Washington The senate watchdog committee Is investigating a deal whereby the army plans to acquire 300,000 tons of Polish rye from behind the Iron Curtain. The deal Includes the British, who have been trading with Poland and have thereby acquired 300,000 tons of Polish rye as part of their trade agreement.

It was in that year that the first Avedis Zildjian, a Constantin ople alchemist, discovered a secret process for making an ideal cymbal metal from an al loy of tin, copper and silver. Through the centuries, the family developed almost a world monopoly in the manufacture of cymbals. They still domin ate it. "It is easy to analyze the al loy we use," said the current Avedis Zildjian. "But no one can put it together and some of the biggest metal companies, in the country have tried."

These people are dominated by ancient super- stitutions and beliefs and extreme conservatism and re sent efforts to "improve" them and often oppose efforts of do-gooders. Witness the reaction of Mexicans against our eforts to stamp out cattle diseases. In addition the arrogance of Americans is deeply re sented, for these undeveloped areas have developed their own cultures in which they find satisfaction. The author continues: "One of the problems that should give the American citizen, already staggering under the load of taxes and the national debt, a healthy skepticism is the possible place of loans in the Point IV plan. Government in vast undeveloped areas is unstable, cor rupt, devoted largely to exploiting its subjects, and often already overburdened with debt and with little prospect of solv ency. In some countries, millions of dollars are already in de fault to Ameriran investors. Are wo, in the name of philan thropy, to push additional milliona down the same rathole?" The greatest danger, Vogt thinks, may lie in speeding up population increase. At the current rate of increase, SIPS FOR SUPPER jjiuin America win tiouoie us population in iu years.
