Show THUKSDAY, JULY 5, 1951 Orcm-Geneva Times Published every Thursday at Orem, Utah M. NEFF SMART, Editor and Publisher CLYDE E. WEEKS JR.. Associate Editor Enlereu as second class matter November 19. 1944 al the postoffice at Orem. Utah, under the act of March 3, 1897. MEMBER: Utah Stale Press Association National Editorial Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance $3.00 LICENSE THE CANVASSERS There is nothing particularly urgent about this problem, prob-lem, but we bring it up now because we note that the Price Chamber of Commerce is erecting signs on the three main entrances to their city pointing out that peddlers and door-to-door solicitors are required by city ordinance to have a city license and that the ordinance ordi-nance is enforced! Now Orem has its share of door-to-door salesmen. Some provide services which are needed and appreciated, but some are not particularly welcome. Nevertheless, it's a free country and we're not the kind who would withhold the doubtful pleasure of canvassing from anyone. any-one. However, it does seem unfair when the hou.so-to-house salesman may do his selling without a city license, while the local merchant is required to purchase and display a license. In fairness to those of us who have established businesses busi-nesses here and who pay taxes on our property, is it too much to ask for an even break with those transients whose fast-talking often takes from the city the very money which would make profitable the operating of a business here? 'BUYING' CIVILIZATION JULY "BEEF"! Former Justice Holmes is described as having paid his federal income tax with alacrity instead of anguish because, be-cause, he said, "With this I buy civilization." Taxpayers and members of Congress can afford to recall some of this sentiment when they consider the recommendations President Truman has transmitted to the legislative branch for authorization of $3.5 billion in foreign aid next year. It is regrettable that the internatonal situation the stresses between the Communist and non-Communist portions of the world -compel $6.25 billion of this proposed pro-posed amount to be earmarked for military aid. It is regrettable that these same and other stresses call for proposals of $2.25 billion for economic aid to countries . which otherwise would largely be making their own way by now. Both of these figures represen considerable scaling down by the Budget Bureau from original requests and from current rates of expenditure. The economic portion por-tion includes winding up the Marshall Plan, supporting the economies of countries cooperating in rearmament, reconstruction for Korea, and technical assistance in Asia, the Near East and Latin America. Of course, it cannot be said that it is possible to "buy" the cooperation of free nations and peoples with handouts hand-outs of dollars, goods or arms. No loyalty worth the name is for sale merely on those terms. But the money, the goods, the services here involved do represent a willingness of the people of the United States to stand beside the embattled peoples of a dozen perimeters in the contest with the imperialism of the Kremlin, a willingness to share in their sacrifices and take a friendly interest in their material welfare. The qualities of thought thus epitomized in a substantial, even generous, foreign aid program can evoke responses of thought and action which are simply, beyond price tags in helping to preserve a world wherein good will, self-respect, freedom of endeavor, and other qualities of civilization thrive. It is strongly possible that by such cooperation the protection of civilization may be evolved in peace. "A-long "A-long these lines," declares Mr. Truman, "is the best hope of producing changes in the policies of the Soviet Union without a world war." And that is what is necessary changes in policies. Through mutual effort it seems reasonable to expect that the dollars spent abroad will build more strength than could be built with the same expenditure, or retention reten-tion of the same sums, within the United Suites. Appropriately, this program deals not with Eurooe. Asia, or any other region alone; it is a world roundup of estimated needs and opportunities of a most practical nature. Some working out of relations between the State Department and the Economic Cooperation Administration Administra-tion still will be necessary. Interestingly and desirably, the ratio of economic to military aid is higher in Asia than elsewhere. The program presents many questions of detail. It will evoke honest differences of opinion. But the great over-all significance of it is that here is proposed an investment in-vestment in the protection of civilization.

Watkin V A "cease fire" in the Korean war may be in the immed iate offing. The department of State has indicated a will ingness to accept the olive branch which has been extended our way by Jacob Malik, the boviet delegate to the united Nations. There is some suspicion, however, that a closer look will reveal that Malik's offer is not an olive branch but a sprig of poison ivy. A truce in Korea does not mean that the struggle has come to an end. It merely means lhat the opposing armies will stop shooting at each other and that a strip of Korea running along the 38th parallel will be a no-man's-land. Our war-time pledge for the establishment of a free and independent Korea will have gone down the drain. The Korean peninsula has been thoroughly devastated in the year-long conflict.

I doubt if ever any people in all history endured the terror the suffering, the death and the destruction which has come to the innocent people of this unhappy un-happy land. The president of South Korea has no illusions as to the meaning mean-ing of the Russian cease-fire proposal. He has announced lhat his country cannot and will not accept a truce at the 38th parallel because that would divide di-vide Korea along an artificial border and would leave the Com munist aggressors in possession of half of Korea. Reports from Korea indicate that General "Ridgway, under instructions from Washington, has admonish ed the Korean president to tone down his attitude. That is just another indication that the Truman Tru-man administration, caught with a highly unpopular war on its hands and a national election coming up, is stumbling all over itself in its anxiety to make a pre-election ' deal with Russia and her Red Chinese allies.

The irony of the Korean situation sit-uation insofar as we are concerned con-cerned here in America lies in the fact that the American taxpayer tax-payer will have to foot both bills: the one for destroying Korea, and the other for rebuilding rebuild-ing it. In addition, it will be American boys who will have to stand guard at the 38th parallel for who knows how long. ECA Dollars Go Up in Smokt Germany's tobacco smokers no doubt were greatly pleased with the recent Economic Co-operation Administration announcement ann-ouncement that an additional $10,000,000 of foreign aid funds had been allocated to Germany for use in buying American tobacco. to-bacco. That huge sum of money was in addition to $5,000,000 American tobacco under the European Recovery Program. This huge sum is a gift not a loan.

This will not serve the needs of individuals or the needs of our time." Dr. CHARLES C. NOBLE, dean, Henricks Chapel, Chap-el, Syracuse University. "Your (American) materialism is very obvious.
