Our Qrowing Trade Barriers Weaken Free World s Unity Washington. Nineteen countries, each a friend and all7 of the United States, have protected to the Department of State that ,they are bewildered by various actions on our part which either ' threaten or reduce their trade In the American market. They are bewildered, they say, at the inconsistency of our blocking trade (Imports) , while we are encouraging them to produce more and sell more in the United States. In effect, their point is this: To shield American industries from . foreign competition, we seem to be undermining our efforts to promote economic recovery, political stability, and military preparedness in the rest of the free world. Unreasonable trade bar- the American aid that keeps them going must continue to come out of the American taxwise, Boyd Sheffield county treasurer reports that 97.38 per. cent of the taxes of Box Elder county were paid before the deadline. Anyone whose taxes have not hon naid mav still save him self money by paying the bin before January ju, mas, ior alter that date an additional $1.00 plus 8 per cent interest from January 1 will be added in addition to the 2 per cent penalty and 25 cent advertising fee , ,. mat eacn must yay. The totat taxes levied in the rountv was 11.356.931.73. and the amount collected was $1,321,362.85. Carl Ashby will give the talk on Mrs. Axel Fredericksen's W. - program -- Sunday C.T.Uw-radi- o morning at 8 o'clock over KBUH Brigham City. That blockade has been due, in part, to the efforts of domestic groups looking only to their own interests. The pressures of these groups, the Department says, must be scrutinized in the light of the general interests of the United States. many cases they conflict with our general interests, and, when they do, the latter should prevail. The Department of State points out one barrierthe "cheese embargo," to illustrate Just what trade restrictions will do. The curtailment of foreign cheese imports has had these effects: 1. It has seriously impaired the economic and political situations In poor regions of Southern Italy, Sicily, and Sardinia, where production and export of cheeses to the United States represented a principal means of livelihood. 2. It has made it necessary for us to continue to give away more dollars to keep these areas buying our products. 3. It has meant that they have less money with which to sustain their own efforts at recovery and ; payer's pocket. In addition, every move toward increased U.S. trade restrictions is used now as ammunition in the Communist attack against us. The Communists are propagandizing that our only interest in aiding others is to assure bigger markets for ourselves. They tell other people that this is our aim, that we are slamming our doors against the products -of other t people. More directly, the Department points out, our own security requires the freeing of trade from unreasonable barriers.

If we say, "Mohammedan" it infers that Mohammed was a God. They believe that Mohammed was only a great prophet and not a God. therefore they prefer being called "Moslems", or "Islams". They think that the Godhead consists of one person only, and that he is God. In reality, this is the same God whom ajl Christians worship. The main variations In the be- 4ief of the Moslems and the Christians center around the mission of Jesus Christ. The Moslem does not believe there was any need for an atonement, therefore Jesus was a great prophet but not a' Savior. They believe that Jesus was such a great prophet that he was actually taken into heaven but not as a resurrected being. Their claim is that it was Judas or some other famous man who was very cleverly substituted at the cross and was crucified. They do believe in certain temple ceremonies, in an actual resur rection, and in a form of etern al progression. The law of Moses, or "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", is still the philosophy of life. They lorbid the use of alcohol. If I were to be critical of any teachings of the Moslems, it would be the interpretations some Priests give to the dangers envolved in a people or a na tion making progress. This phil osphy unquestionably has great ly retarded the progress of many people in the near east. It is one of the elements we must battle most in attempting to carry out the philosophies and purposes of Point Four. Last Sunday I had an experience which I am sure will be of interest to the people of the valley. I took the family to Teh ran Museum,: where I saw ex hibits which were very impress ive in substantiating the authenticity of the Book of , Mormon. I saw an exhibit of one gold plate and one silver plate upon which were inscribed the boundaries of King Darius's empire. The rec ords were duplicated on both the gold and the silver plate in three languages. It Is claimed that the record was made about 5 B. C. The plates them selves were about 16x14 inches (Continued on Back Page) 517-51- Mrs. W. A. Adams had ' the misfortune last week to fall and fracture her ankle.
