They can win a desired performance from their fellowmen only by seeking voluntary cooperation And to gain voluntary cooperation from from them. others, private individuals and private agencies find it necessary to offer compensating rewards. This private practice of spreading rewards as a means of securing voluntary cooperation of others has been the great secret of Americas remarkable economic abundance and social advance. The economic chaos inherent in spreading discomfort can be tasted in the results from over two years of national price controls and bureaucratic interventions: shortages of beef, poultry, gasoline, and wheat, to mention only a few. To the extent that free and citizens have been free to seek the voluntary cooperation of others by offering rewards and inducements, the common welfare has been advanced. But to the extent that some men have been empowered to make others subservient to their will through the threat offorce, the common welfare WashingtonObserver The United States Marines are in training for combat duty in the Middle East. Two months ago 9000 Marine regulars and reservists took part in desert warfare maneuvers in the Mojave desert, in Southern California. The Marines traditionally train for jungle fighting but now are being intensively trained and equipped for invading the shores of North Africa and the Persian Gulf. ' The Mojave operation, code-name- d Alkali Canyon 73, was the most intensive desert warfare training exercise in the U.S. history, according to Marine officers. Significantly, the units taking part in the maneuvers were from the Second Marine Division, which supplies troops for the U.S. forces in the Mediterranean area. After the maneuvers one of the desert-traine- d was battalions dispatched immediately for duty with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea. The scenario of the maneuvers simulated U.S. intervention when two desert nations who have differences became ideological The involved in hostilities. Marines had landed for the ostensible purpose of protecting American lives and property. U.S. oil companies have a stake in the Middle East and over 30,000 American citizens work there. WO of July 15, 1973, stated: Today, there are ominous signs of impending political and military moves against the Arab states, with the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. ganging up with Israel to seize the oil of the Mideast. And WO of August I. 1973, warned of an imminent danger of U.S. military involvement in the Middle East. The article stated: An early trial balloon was floated in the form of a provocative article in Sational Review on November 17. 1970, entitled Should We Ditch Israel -The An Alternative Strategy. article, which was featured on the cover page, proposed to seize Libya by military force, occupy it. and if necessary drive or transport two million inhabitants of that nation into the roughly Egypt .

Orders were and there were frequent complete breakdowns in the whole operation. The Marine high command is trying to cover up the fact that the Mojave exercise was a dismal failure, although the news will be warmly welcomed by all sane Americans . This dress rehearsal augurs poorly for the scheduled victories in the deserts and there is imminent danger of mutiny when these recalcitrant troops are ordered to spill their blood on the desert sands of the Middle East to help Israel conquer the rich oil lands. SNAFU-e- d have given up their Libyan holdings and Bill Buckley now claims that his family presently has no equities in Libya. Why Buckley floated the Libyan invasion trial balloon is not known, but it is known that he is a confidente of Henry A. Kissinger, the new No Secretary of doubt we shall hear more about the Kissinger-Buckle- y Axis. What the strategic planners of U.S. military involvement in the Mideast have not anticipated is mutiny in the Marine Corps.

In summary, we can say that the only legitimate aim of civil government is to maximize freedom by protecting each citizens right to individual action. Any action beyond this limited aim changes the very character of civil government from a defensive agent to an activist agent in society and carries the seeds of tyranny. (All rights reserved.
