In case of default, what will happen? The innocent will suffer for the guilty. Some of New Yorks debt will he paid at the price of adding the equivalent to the national debt. Some people are relieved of paying the penalty for their foolish extravagance while the burden is thrust upon others who were in no way responsible for it. New York is not alone in this tragedy. The mismanagement, waste, and foolish extravagance of the federal government exceeds that of New York City. It is less noticeable because it is obscured by the power of Congress to keep on inflating the currency; that is, to continue stealing a part of the value of every existd dollars having no ing dollar by issuing value whatsoever except the capacity to muscle in and absorb a portion of the value of the dollars already in existence. Suppose the people on an isolated island have a certain quantity of money. This money has been in existence ii long time and truly represents wealth that the islanders have created. Now they suddenly decide to issue an equal quantity of new money which represents nothing. The new money simply steals half the value of the old money so that now a dollar has only half of its former purchasing power. This was done, of course, because the jjeople thought they could have more by increasing the quantity of money. This fallacy is as old as human history. Tinkering with the quantity of money, changing the amount of gold or silver in coins, clipping off the edges of coins, devaluating currencies, and other hocus-pocu- s practices have been used by the rulers of nations throughout all history in an effort to have more, or at least to deceive the people into thinking they will have more. Inflations have diflerent quirks, but are essentially the same. newly-printe- Continued on cage 4 The I 1 1 I I I I A 1 I I Independent Utah's Largest and S7 I I Oakland Axenue Salt l.ake City Assorted copies older than 2 months for SI. 00 Subscriptions: USA $10.00 per year Foreign $15.00 per year I Subscription Weekly .

PANAMA SOVEREIGNTY To the Editor: We have been reading via the printed press as well as its electronic counterpart, TV, where some in our state department feel has now become negotiable and our sovereignty is a debatable issue. There has been little said or written about this in open forum pages of our liberal press with the exception of editorials that more than slightly favor and insist that we surrender such sovereignty into the hands of the Panamanian government. We now control an amount that may exceed 500 square miles of what fromally was the worst snake and malaria infested morass in Central America prior to our undertaking in the early 1900s. The costs of the excavation and further maintenance of the canal and the zone has run into billions of dollars, and several lives lost at the outset. In turn we have built a large span or bridge that connects the western end of the canal and a highway from Central America with North America. The financial spin off from the canal zone is one of Panama's largest sources of revenue. The very fact that we do control the canal is honest assurance to other nations of the xvorld that their ships will pass through at a minimum of 25c each The most damning evidence against such folly as our surrender of sovereignty is the rapid spread of 12 for S2.75 communism throughout South The and Central America. Panamanian government is under the control of the communists, several of the other Central American countries as well as South America are heavily infested with communist inheavily doctrinated cadres that foment rebellious uprisings; constant Mexico, our nearest neighbor to the south of us is also subjected to riots via the same type cadre. Our own Puerto Rico is another hotbed that recently has been having its probkrms from the same source. It takes no master mind to know where the roots of these troubles were transplanted, the USSR to Cuba and beyond.

Breitling Senor Carlos Nieve is an enterprising man. After years of preparation he has almost cornered the market in a special type of precooked food recipes. With the tremendous growth in the microwave oven market there has been a corresponding growth in the market for precooked foods. Sen. Nieve saw this at an early and opportune time and became the leading vendor of precooked food recipes in his state; a position which he still holds today. FROM COOK TO MAGNATE Shortly after his graduation from college Nieve Sen. that the Panama Canal agreement determined that he wanted a career cost. 12 I I Fastest-Growin- g segment of the population, in the strategic locale selected, you must have a ready supply of the product available for customers to buy. Continued on page 4 in foods. His degree was in management, and he could have attempted to start in the low'er echelons of management immediately upon graduation, but he chose to learn some of the nuts and bolts details of the business first. His reasoning was that this would give him a solid foundation in the business while at the same time allowing him to build early and lasting friendships with other men of promise who happened to start at this same level in foods. He became a cook. At first he the recipes of experts, followed just but he was careful to learn how they were written and the effects that would be produced by different ingredients. By learning and by taking advantage of opportunities Sen. Nieve moved fairly rapidly from cook to magnate. HOW MANAGEMENT TRAINING HELPED1 Sen. Nieves management training has always been a big help to him. He learned to apply the ASSOCIATIONS HELPED Among other actions taken by Sen. Nieve shortly after leaving college,, he joined an association of persons interested in management, many of whom were also interested in precooked food, he association was well funded, getting money from many organizations and foundations, as well as from individuals. With the ample funds in its treasury the association has used its food division to develop very many varied recipes, so that someone having access to the recipes can use them to catch the attention of almost anyone who is interested in food. Nieve has access to all such recipes at no cost to himself, because the costs are paid by the supporters of the association. UNIVERSITY HELP ALSO In addition to the help from his association. Sen. Nieve has help from a university also. By careful investigation he found that a in his state was university interested in establishing a special department which would be devoted to developing recipe writers for food establishments, and being modern in their approach, the staff and administration of the department tended to direct their graduates toward the precooked food field. This was obviously the wave of the future. Nieves market research had revealed that people in his state had certain local preferences and prejudices regarding food which prevented his using the association recipes exactly as prepared. Possibly with the help of local students at the university, however, the necessary changes could be made, which made the recipes suitable for local consumption. PRECOOKED FOOD TO CONSUMERS Using the localized recipes Sen. Nieve has been able to sell them to the various levels of restaurants throughout the state. The restaurants prepare the food well before mealtime, and when customers are ready for the food it is heated to serving temperature almost instantly in microwave ovens. Many of the customers seem addicted to the food prepared concepts of management by objectives and the power inherent in from Nieves recipes, and it is Planning, Programming, strongly contended by many of his Budgeting, and Control. Nieve competitors that some of the learned a new language, the ingredients are known to be adlanguage of management, and how dictive.
