Of course you can't we've tried to do it, in plaint is voiced . - What we have tried to do and with a great measure of success is hold back the encroach-' ing tide of communist imperialism, to build up our allies in strength and stability and capability, to give them the tools to make themselves self- supporting, and to create a world where democ racy and freedom can continue ,to exist, despite the threat of chaos and authoritarian rule of all varieties. WE have not always But our successes have outweighed our fail ures, and the successes saved, starvation averted, freedom advanced, communism kept in check. Today the experiment in world-wide assist ance, relief and progress one which is unex ampled in world history continues. It has a slightly different tenor and purpose today, with less emphasis on military aid and out right relief, and more on providing the new, emerging nations with the tools and the know how and the attitudes and education to enable them to survive, rather than to sink back into feudalism, tribalism, mass murder, starvation and chaos. HTHE mistakes, the boondoggles, the corruption, the waste have been widely reported and de plored, and almost never without tne reminder that the American taxpayer is picking up the tab. But the successes, the triumphs, have largely gone unnoticed, because they have been unspec tacular. A nation gradually lighting its way to self-sufficiency and self-government doesn't make the kind of headlines that attend a nation torn by riots, civil strife, communism and utter poverty. This experiment, this investment in the future of the human race, is NOT just global do-good-ism. It is to our cold self-interest. Without it in the past, America would have succumbed to fierce pressures. Without it in the present and foreseeable future, it still could do so. MOST of the world the overwhelming ma ' jority of the world's more than three billion people lack the training, the education, the tools and experience and know-how to gain the independence and dignity and self-sufficiency which they now demand as their right. Western civilization, as exemplified in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and West ern Europe, is a tiny island in a sea of faces, black, brown or yellow, which can and will en gulf us if we are not smart enough to recognize that our own survival depends on giving them the help they need to help themselves.

I have the original letter written in Italian and the translation by Miss Sandra Gillio, an English teacher In Alba, who served as my inter preter on my visit. I would appreciate it if you would print all or part of the letter. Gregory E. Milnes, Phi Delta Theta Willamette University Salem, Ore. The letter follows: Dear Mr. Greg Milnes: Please forgive me for my delay in answering your let ter in which you reminded me of your visit to Alba. I have been awfully busy these last months because of the election for renewing our Town Council. We often remember you and your friend Jim Busch, and everybody has liking for both of you. It is a' pity that Alba and Medford are so far, as it is rather difficult for people of Alba to return the visit. But I wish you may come here again as a welcome guest with some fellow citizen of yours. I am pleased and even a little proud at knowing that our 'town has impressed you so favorably as to make you illustrate its merits at a meet ing. ' ' All the persons you were acquainted with on your visit to Alba and I would like to wish you a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. We also wish that Alba and Med ford may be more and more united in their friendship. Please wish your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yours truly Osval'do Cagnasso P.S. (Note from Sandra Gillio) By the way, Mayor Cag nasso is our Mayor once more. I let you know this because you know him personally, and Mayor Cagnasso makes no mention of this In his letter. Since I know you are interest ed in such matters, I let you know that Democrazia Cris tiana has a great majority, but the victory is due to Mr. Cagnasso who had a plebis citary consent of voters so as to gain two more scats for his party. A Protest To the Editor: Enclosed you will find a copy of a letlcr that I mailed to our United States government. The reason I am writing to your paper is for my own protection, as I don't know Just which penitentiary I will wind up in, and I wouldn't want to be found dead, rotten and forgotten before I had a chance to straighten things out.

Appreciates Sacred Heart To the Editor: This Is writ ten to express my thanks and appreciation to the nurses and Sisters at Sacred Heart hos pital for the many kindnesses afforded me during my recent ( U MEDFORD stay in Sacred Heart hospital. Everyone with whom I came into contact went above and beyond the call of duty to make my stay comfortable and the food was excellent. Medford people are indeed fortunate to have such a won derful facility available to them. George McCormick, 610 North Third St., Klamath Falls, Ore. Reflections To the Editor: Picture of the top of Mount Ashland and article in recent paper, of a proposed ski develop ment project, bring to mind many things about the Ash land watershed. Vivid are the 1910 forest fires a BAD year. The whole country seemed ablaze. Fires spread till about every ridge from Tolman Creek to Pan ther Peak was an inferno man caused. Sixty soldiers were sent in, two detectives; 1,000 men were engaged; many excellent workers. Sol diers did fine work, though many seemed never before to have felt the tickle and firm, smooth touch of axe or mat tock handle. Those facts caused me to feel the need for and recom mend, through the Medford office, that soldiers be given a few weeks outing each year in the forests, where they could commune with Nature, breathe pure, clean air, while clearing trails along main ridges, by which fires might be reached more quickly, if needed; for bridle trails; class es in botany or other nature studies might be lead. So, as I read of this big ski- project, other vistas appeared before me, where so much manpower and $165,000 might be used. Whew! What a lot of trails could be made! And now that rehabilitation and recreation for everybody is in vogue including the elderly generation maybe outings for some of us oldsters might be arranged, as donkey and elephant tours along those Joyously cleared, sight seeing trails. Surely skiers and many others could get their needed exercises. And think of the fun they'd have, while singing, "O, what Joy in helping many, who'll be trudging these trails some day!" But I must curb imagina tion lest somebody'U get sus picious that this sounds like mnminl labor work. Better keep in the SPORTS column. John E. Grlbble 139 Kenwood ave. Medford.

Whit THE FARM PROBLEM Washington-President-elect Kennedy is stoically facing up early to one of his toughest trials - the hardy, the un slnkable, the all - but-time less "farm problem." In deciding to begin to grapple with it even before his inaugura- white lln in tn week's New York conference on what he calls "The Farm Crisis'' - he signals his aware ness that it is a crisis in more than. one sense. For it is not only the farm belt which is in trouble, under declining farm income. The new administration itself is in political trouble from the start in the farm belt. The middle western farm states hit Mr. Kennedy hard in last November s election. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ne braska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin all went against him. It would have been a rout in that whole vast area but for Min nesota, the home state of Mr. Kennedy's new secretary of agriculture, Orville Freeman. (The assumption here is that Michigan, which also went for Kennedy, is more truly an in dustrial than a farm state.) BUT even the salvage oper ation, which held Minne sota for Kennedy was prob ably more due to Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of that state than to Mr. Freeman. Thus, the Kennedy adminis tration has not only got to find a way to unravel the wretched riddle of too much production for too little return to the farmer. It has also got to find means for increasing its political acceptability in a region which all but blacked out the Kennedy-Johnson tic ket. It is at this point that Or ville Freeman enters the scene. The strong probability is that he may find himself running unopposed for the ti tle of man most painfully in the middle. For to improve Democratic prospects in the Middle West it will be necessary to bring farm income up. And to bring farm income up, the new ad ministration - which officially means Orville Freeman-must somehow resolve a deep con flict within the agricultural community. ON ONE side are those who believe in more and more federal controls and subsidies. On the other side are those who believe in some touch of the free-enterprise approach. In the center stand those who are for a little of both these approaches but, more basical ly, want to force great in creases In the foreign use of American crops. There is, of course, no re alistic possibility of a return to free-market policies in ag riculture. To take the way of more and more controls and subsidies would be to please the ultra-liberal farm organi zations which are sources of Democratic campaign strength But that road would only pro long "The Farm Problem." And it would, also be politi cally inept. The Kennedy administra tion and party have no need to court the left wing in the farm areas. This, they have got. What they need is pre cisely the opposite: To gain some strength among the moderate-to-conservative. SO, the only way out seems to be the middle way, most of all stressing an Increase in foreign consumption. This is the way likely In the end to appeal to Mr. Kennedy him self. His interest and expertnoss both lie mainly in foreign policy. And this kind of farm relief could be nlade both an implement of that policy and a partial solution for a nasty domestic problem. Freeman's own past farm associations, however, have been close with the ultra-liberal Mm organizations. So it may become necessary for him to say a goodbye to those Mid dle West forces, the heirs of the populist tradition, which d5g Involved are both human and political elements. Last February in Rio de Janeiro, President Eisenhower restated the Monroe Doctrine in modern terms. "We would," he said, "con sider it intervention in the in ternal affairs of an American state if any power, whether by invasion, coercion or sub version, succeeded in denying freedom of choice (of way of life and government) of any of our sister republics." 138-Year-Old Policy This was a restatement of the doctrine which has gov erned U.S. hemispheric policy since 1823. But while the Monroe Doc trine has remained a govern ing principle, other changes have occurred. Was First For Real? Washington Wonders By LYLE C. WILSON Washington - (UPI) - There remains some wonderment in Washington whether President-elect John F. Kennedy's first choice for postmast er general was for real. His choice was U.S. Reo.

Ken nedy appeared Wllson vv'1" "" on the stoop of his Georgetown home about three weeks ago ulsu West Eyes Proposed Laws; Finds Many Inconsequential. ties By DICK WEST Washington - IUPII - For a while, I thought that Con gress was sick or something. My fears were aroused by the uongres sional Record for Jan. 3, which indicat ed that mem bers of the House of Rep r e s e ntatives i n t r 0 d uced only 383 bills on the first day of the new session. West This averages out to less than one bill per congress man, which isn't even enough for a good bonfire. Ordinar ily, the opening day inflow will average about three bills per congressman. The record for Jan. 3 came out on Wednesday and, need less to say, I don't sleep much that night. I lay awake for hours trying to figure out the reason for such a puny total of new bills. In the hallucinations that insomnia can produce, I even began to fancy that the re public might be in jeopardy. But fortunately, my worries were groundless, or at least premature. On Thursday, the next edi tion of the record revealed that House members actually greeted the New Year with 1,827 bills, 82 joint resolu tions, 34 concurrent resolu tions and 64 plain resolutions. Don't Wait lor JFK This was clear evidence that our lawmakers still are vigilant and relentless about looking after our interests, so we can all feel reassured. Some of them aren't even waiting for President-elect John F. Kennedy to point the way to the new frontier. In looking over the list of proposed legislation, I saw many measures of vital incon sequence to the national wel fare. Here are some of the more vivid eyecatchers: A bill to provide an of ficial flag for congressmen to fly on their car bumpers or yachts. Ever since the dawn of the republic, congressmen have been forced to travel around without a flag they could call their own. It's nice to know that someone is try ing to do something about this privation. Would Provide Compensation A bill to "create a pre sumption that heart attacks and hypertension suffered by government workers are "in curred In line of duty." This would entitle them to disabil ity compensation even if they get ulcers on their own time. A bill to prohibit the reg istration of trademarks con taining the words "White House." This. I presume, would keep motels from pre1 tending to be the executive mansion or Irom putting up igns claiming that "John F. Kennedy slept here." A bill to provide for the coinage of $50 million worth old Sen. George Moses of New Hampshire used to call "the sons of the wild jackass." (Copyright, 1961. by United (J-eature(gndlcate, Irffl) si "Big stick" diplomacy, by which t! United States' inter vened, sometimes ruthlessly, in the affairs of other Ameri can states, now has been aban doned for one of strict non intervention. There have been no U.S. "occupation" forces in Latin American since 1934. In the O r g a n i zation of American States, the United States specifically pledges not to intervene in the affairs of any other nation except by united action. Peru's diplomatic break with Cuba last week end was regarded widely as a change of sentiment among many Latin American nations to ward Castro, and a pay-off for the U.S. policy of patience with the Castro jegime. But a warning that this was Choice for and announced that he had invited the representative to join his Cabinet and that Daw son had refused. Dawson is a Negro and he is 74 years old. His age would seem to disqualify Dawson in an administration where the accent is peculiarly on youth. The offer of a Cabinet post to a Negro, however, must be scored as a political grand slam, even though the offer was rejected. Paper Cites Record The political significance of the offer is obvious. .Not so obvious to persons unfamiliar with Chicago politics were of $5 and $10 gold pieces. Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (R-Pa.), who introduced it, said it would be better to put part of our bullion in circulation than to "risk the gold slipping out of this country." For all I know, he may be right. A bill to require that dogs be kept under leash in public places in the District of Columbia. I don't know what motivated this measure, but I will try to find out. It ought to make an interesting story, ' ' In the Day's News By FRANK JiNKINS So we break relations with the Castro government of Cuba. What docs this mean? It means exactly what it says. We call home our diplo matic representatives. W e urge all Americans remaining in Cuba to get out. It's much as if you had a neighbor with whom you simply COULDN'T get along. The time would come when you'd have to break off all relations with him. That's what we've done in Cuba. , Our ambassador to United Nations, James Wadsworth, puts it about as well as it can be put. He says: "The United States has worked hard to prevent the leaders of Cuba from choking off our friendly relations, but that is what they seem determined to do . . . Over nearly two years they have piled insult upon injury to a point where our diplomacy could not function any more." That's about the long and the short of it. WHAT'S in the wind? This is the best guess: Soviet Russia, which is the spearhead of world commu nism, is seeking to gain a foothold in the Western Hemi sphere. Cuba is the chosen spot. Castro is the chosen tool. lOR evidence support i n g that conclusion, let's go back a few months. On July 10 of last year (1960) Castro declared that Guantanamo (our big naval base in Cuba) belongs to the Cuban people. The next day, Mr. Kroosh got into the act , with the state ment that the U.S.S.R. would SUPPORT Cuba In anv at tempt to OUST THE UN'iTED STATES from the big base. He added: "Wc consider that the Monroe Doctrine has outlived its time . . . that it has DIED." That just about tells the story. WHAT shall we do about it? " Seeking an answer to that question, let's go back about a century in our history. TN THE EARLY 1860 s. when - we were up to our ears in our tragic family quarrel, our War between the States. Na- poleon III. Emperor of France, j was scheming to do what Mr. j Kroosh seems to be scheming., to do now - thals to say. to i OgTOlffl C)THOL IN ' o not enough came from out going President Juscelino Kubitscheck of Brazil, who said that without major eco nomic aid other revolutions could erupt. He'said: "Either we shall give a creative impulse to Latin America, or the replacement of political men of moderate' position will be inevitable by extremist leaders who already have succeeded in breaking the ties of solidarity of the American peoples with the democratic cause." Kubitscheck gave it the global angle: "Every day," he said, "I am becoming more and more convinced that the decisive and final struggle for domi nation of the world will be fought in this continent." P.M. Dawson's qualifications for a Cabinet post in the light of his record. The selection had been rumored long before it was announced. Under such circumstances, the Chicago Daily News on Dec. 10 print ed a lead editorial headlined: "We can't believe it! Dawson's record should keep him out of the Cabinet." This editorial cited circum stantial evidence of a link of some kind between Dawson's congressional office and a couple of notorious Chicago hoodlums. Dawson denied any personal involvement. "Everybody in or near Chi cago," the editorial continued, "knows Dawson's political role on the South Side of: Chicago. Here he has tre mendous power. Mayors don't tell him what to do. He tells mayors. "Dawson has absolute po litical power over an area which has the most crime in proportion to its population; the most errors, intentional and otherwise, in counting votes; the most fraud in the registration of voters; and tra ditionally, at least, the most corruption among the polica serving the area. "It is impossible for Sen. Kennedy or his brother to have gone through the Sen ate racket hearings without knowing all of these things. We cannot believe that the next president will appoint Dawson." Challenge Probable Dawson is pictured by the Chicago Daily News as tha absolute political boss of an empire of corruption, fraud and crime. If so, his confirma tion as postmaster general certainly would have been challenged and perhaps re fused. Kennedy is too smart a politician to risk such as that if he knew the facts. On tho other hand, it may have been smart politics to get on record with the offer of a Cabinet post to a Negro. Some of Kennedy's political enemies suggest that the President-elect may have known that Dawson would reject a Cabinet offer. Dawson being aware, himself, of the chal lenge he probably would face when his name came up for confirmation in the Senate. Kennedy's second selection of a Negro for high office wss entirely different. His pick was Robert C. Weaver of New York to be housing and homo finance administrator. The New York Times and others who know Weaver best sa luted that selection with cheers. All of which makes l'affaira Dawson even more baffling. THE WESTERN HEM ISPHERE. He backed a puppet, Maxi milian of Austria, as Emperor of Mexico. He supported Maximilian with French troops. Maximilian and his French military support e r s went to war with Benito Juarez, president of the strug gling Republic of Mexico. By the beginning of 1865, Maximilian appeared to be on the eve of complete victory. But fate intervened. Our tragic family war came to an end, and backed by a larca and seasoned army we order ed Napoleon III to GET OUT. He sized up the situation and came to the conclusion that he'd better get out. WHAT shall we do now? Wed better tell Mr. Kroosh what we told Na poleon III. Last July, Mr. Kroosh said: "We consider that the Monroe Doctrine has outlived its tint . . . that it has DIED." Well . . . WE DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY. As we see it. the Monro Doctrine is the historic key stone of our foreign policy.
