LIGHTS AND SHADOWS ABROAD
The New York Time has just ianued biff gupplement
on economic conditions in foreign countries, written real
istically, which shows a remarkable eommnauon oi gooo.
and bad news that cannot fail to affect conditions here in
the coming year. .
Am An it th hriehter srjota are Britain, where conditions
are id to be improving generally, India, where better
crops have reduced the need for food imports; Austria,
West Germany, whose foreign trade is booming and whose
production ii etill increasing; Spain, which is now receiv
ing U.S. aid under a recently contracted agreement; Bel
gium, where production techniques are improving and liv
ing standards rising; Holland, bravely recovering from the
flood disaster of last February with orthodox practices;
Switzerland, with a substantial increase in export of
watches and parts in the face of heavy competition; Hong
Vonov huildine local industries to offset loss of China
trade; North Ireland, whose textile mills have boosted out-
pu; New Zealand, whose tnree oig exports, woui, meau aim
dairy product continued to find a good sale. Italy was
troubled by a fiscal deficit but her industrial production
was the heaviest in her history.
But other countries are beset with troubles. France
was beset with both economic and political troubles and
got nowhere in 1963. Japan is having a hard time selling
her products abroad for enough exchange for the purchase
of needed food and raw materials. Japan is still dependent
on U.S. aid. Malaya is full of troubles, due to weakness in
the rubber market, and so is Indonesia.
. Norway and Finland are both suffering from an eco
nomic rMainn. South Africa report urgent need of
foreign capital, which is reluctant to go there on account
of the policies 01 the Boer government, uenmaric naa a
good year, but unfavorable developments appeared before
its tnd. Sweden's economy was relatively stable, but
many of her ships were idle in the later months. Israel
embarked in a deflationary policy which was forcing liv
ing standards down. -
Thia is merely "hitting the high spots." But it shows
that the rest of the world is beset by the same ailments as
we are. Foreign counties influence us and we influence
them. Right now the picture is sufficiently mixed to make
confident predictions difficult.
ARTIFICIALLY STIMULATED DEPRESSION
Union labor leaders are evidently launching an all. out
drive to get the administration and congress to halt rising
unemployment. This conclusion is drawn from the step
ped up demands for government action to boost employ
ment" One thing the labor bosses can do is end the wildcat and
other strikes that increase the numlwr of the jobless, and

traduced a billawhich would
prevent collecting money from
the purchasers.
The theft of this grain,
beans, etc., was one of the
most brazen in the history of
government farm price sup
ports. Under the support law,
the commodity credit corpor
ation, a subsidiary of the agri
culture department, loans mo
ney to the farmer after he
stores his crop In a warehouse.
If he defaults on his loan, then
the crop automatically reverts
to the government. Every ele-
v a t o r , warehouseman and
grain dealer knows this. Yet
in Texas and the midwest, sev
eral deliberately sold govern
ment grain, and certain grain
dealers bought it with their
eyes wide open.
Roll Call or Convictions
As a result, William F. Far
rell, Dallas representative of
the solicitor of the agriculture
department, moved in vigor
ously, under direct orders
from Secretary Charlie Bran
nan to prosecute. He secured
the following convictions:
C. M. Henderson, Farwell,
Tex. Four years in jail and
$1,000 fine, with $1,086,000

As Frank A. Kent of the Baltimpre, Sun says in his
syndicated eoinrnn; r,-- '
"A well organlied attempt to talk the country Into a depression fore
casts rubor. aU uw democratic national commnie propaganoa ami
few democratic members of congress ever make a speech without
attesting the dreadful prospect of a business collapse and a vast army
of unemployed.
"Two of the most Insistent of the depression prophets are Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Walter Reuther. Both are members of the
ac-called Americans for Democratic Action, whose publicity experts
are spreading the depression doctrine far and wide. Others, including
some of the mora conspicuous Truman "economic advisers." are doing
what they can to promote the idea that a collapse of our economic sys
tem ,1s Just around the corner."
CIO Vice-President Emil Rieve called on congress and
the administration last week to-"move promptly on the
tax, social security unemployment compensation, farm,
public works, housing and minimum wage fronts to head
off the spreading recession."
AFL President George Mt-any urged congress to do
something about the sharp increue" in unemp'oyment.
He said the situation is serious enough to emphasize the
need for policies designed to encourage economic stability."
The Reuther and ADA proposals all call for lowering
government revenues and increasing government costs,
spend more, take in less, the basic formula of New and
Fait Deal political philosophy which ends only in National
bankruptcy, all to promote the fortunes of political dem
agogues. It is a return to the formula of Harry Hopkins,
"tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect."
These peddlers of gloom, among whom is Oregon's Sena
tor Wayne Morse, are ably assisted by communist propa
ganda all over the world, to convince the nations that the
United States is on the verge of bankruptcy. G. P,
IKE RETAINS POPULARITY
" President Eisenhower still enjoys the approval of 68
percent of the American people, according to the latest
Gallup poll, issued January 3. This is the same ratio that
gave him its O.K. 12 months ago.
However, there has been a change. In January, 1953,
only seven percent disapproved, while 25 percent said they
had "no opinion." Now those without opinions have
shrunk to 10 percent, while the objectors have increased to
22 percent.
Two factors have to be kept in mind. First, the Gallup
poll is reasonably accurate, but only reasonably so. There
is a percentage of error that may range up to five though
It usually doesn't. Second, many of those who say they
like and approve of Eisenhower would not vote for him.
A Democrat may "like Ike' but still vote his own ticket
whenever an election Is held. Many did in 1952 and will
in 1954.
fcisenhnwcr s popularity is remarkable. He polled mil.

money.
The letter read In part: "Al
though you should continue
preparation of cases Involving
third-party purchasers, you
should not take any affirma
tive steps toward the Institu
tion of new suits against third
party purchasers or the mak
ing ot additional demands for
payment upon them until fur
ther advice is received from
this office."
I As of today nine months
later no further advice has
been received.
Note Farrell, however,
turned his cases over to the
Justice department and It's re
ported that some officials at
the Justice department dis
agree with the new agriculture
department and are endeavor
ing to prosecute the claims
anyway.
DALLAS OFFICE PURGED
Meanwhile, Farrell, who se
cured most of the convictions,
and who has been In the gov
ernment for 25 years, has been
dropped. He received orders
to close up the Dallas office

economy wave and combine
it with the Little Rock, Ark.,

Kinsey Fallacies
Raise Questions
By RAMOND MOLEY
This column Is Interested in
the notorious Kinsey report for
only one reason. The immense
popular concern in its findings
and the devastating criticism of
its scientific pretensions may
awaken people to the dangers in
such pseudo-scientific researches
in political and economic affairs.
ror tne same sort ot nonsense
has been peddled to a gullible
public in matters less sensational
than sex.
There is in the news at the
moment a scathing criticism of
Kinsey. his facts and his "conclu
sions moretrom by two men
whose training and achievements
entitle them to be heard. They
are Edmund Bergler, M.D., a psy
choanalytic psychiatrist, and Wil
liam S. Kroger, M.D., a gynecolo
gist Their book is called "Kin
sey'i Myth of Female Sexuality."
Most of what the authors sav
in the book is irrelevant to the
point that I want to make and,
in fact seems to wander into
the same never-never-land of
murk which Kinsey inhabits. But
these doctors are sufficiently fa
miliar with science and statistics
to make a few points which in
my judgment explode the entire
pretention of science in the Kin
sey report.
The following is the most sie-
nificant passage in the Herder-
