These publications complement each other very well. Incidentally, I sent a copy of your Utah Independent to Senator Guy Mutt Jones of Conway, Arkansas, just a few days prior to the Arkansas Senates defeat of this subversive ERA. Senator Jones was the leader in opposition to this amendment, Equal Rights Amendment. Senator Jones wrote and thanked me for this copy of your publication, as it featured a write-u- p Editors Outlook KERSHNER-ROW- COMMENTARY E pro-commun- so-call- ist on Howard Kershner Edward Rowe EXPENSIVE FOLLY On February 13, 1973, the Department of Agriculture announced that the price of meat and other foodstuffs will rise about 6 to percent this year. This is the sharpest rise in 22 years. According to CBS News calculations, as reported by Walter Cronkite last October, the rise in wheat prices resulting from the sale of wheat to the Soviet Union would cost the American people at least $290 million during the . next nine months. He went on to say that the increase in the cost of feed grains resulting from sales to the Soviet Union would cause an increase in the price of meat that would cost the American people about $1.2 billion over the next nine months for the same amount of meat this year as they consumed last year. So, it seems that the price of subsidizing our enemy, which has been the principal supplier of the Hanoi Communists, will be at least $1.5 billion. In actual fact, this means that our government heavily subsidized the sale of wheat and food grains to the USSR. y This is all a part of the program running to more than $200 billion that now embarrasses our country. One result is the two recent devaluations of the dollar which takes its savage cut off of the savings of every one THEY TRY HARDER The poor Senators now trying to investigate the Watergate are having on a small scale, the same frustrations that the late Senator Joseph McCarthy had on a massive scale when he was trying to investigate the mammoth global Communist conspiracy.

This will be the height of folly. It will merely enable Le Due Tho and his Communist associates to renew their wars of aggression countries. This he against surrounding promised to do, and the more aid we give him the sooner it will happen and the stronger it will be. We call ourselves the richest country in the world, yet we owe nearly 50 percent more than our total public and private wealth. We are not in a position to subsidize anyanti-Communi- st body. We owe more than all other countries of the world put together. The President is asking for power to raise the tariff against various imports from other countries. This will induce retaliation and will head us toward a economy. It is a step in the wrong direction.

Reprinted from The Network of Patriotic Letterwriters, Pasadena, Calif. Nations richer and more powerful in their day than we are in this, have been sabotaged, defeated, enslaved. Babylon was the largest and richest nation of its time, but its lust for luxury made it an easy mark for the Medes and Persians who overran it, and divided its land and enslaved people between them. Rome as a greater military power than we ever were, but when free bread and circuses became more important to the people than hard work and patriotism, Rome was invaded and looted by the tougher Vandals. The Incas were the most civilized, richest people in the invaders destroyed Americas, but ruthless, better-arme- d them as a nation, and looted everything they owned and had spent generations in creating. In every case it was the weakness of the victim which made the victory of the invader easy. How strong is a nation which allows foreign competitors to capture the world leadership from one after another of its most vital industries? H ow virile is a nation which allows this or that group to decide not to fight the enemy? How wise is a nation which gives away so much of its substance abroad and at home that it can no longer afford to keep up its own strength and protection?

By reducing imports from these countries, we are at the same time and in about the same amount, reducing our own exports. That accomplishes nothing. Until our government and our union leadership realize that we must compete if we are to survive as a trading nation, and stop escalating wages and therefore prices beyond man-hooutput, we shall continue to make a very bad matter much worse. ; : criminal than his victim? How weak is a nation which allows bureaucracy and a socialist philosophy to run riot and squander billions? Undoubtedly there were Babylonians, Romans, Incas who warned against overindulgence and weakness, who warned that each citizen is responsible for his nation, and that that responsibility cannot be shrugged off onto officials. But to those who warned of impending throuble there was then as now the smug sneer, It cant happen here.

On receipt of your Utah Independent, Senator Jones immediately made some special inquiries and found out that Utah had just voted down the ERA the day before. Senator Jones then made a floor speech in the Senate asking why both of Little Rocks two dailies (both far-lef- t, comsymph papers - particularly The Arkansas Gazette) failed to carry any information on Utahs dramatic defeat of ERA. Two days later. Senator Jones rallied enough strength to defeat ERA here in Arkansas.
