Show WALTER SHE AD Congress Plays Good Samaritan TpHE senate was about to convene for a political discussion of export -1 controls. The Rev. Peter Marshall, chaplain, asked Divine Guidance and said: "May freedom be seen not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to please to do what is right. May it ever be understood that our liberty is under God and can be found nowhere no-where else. Let us, as a nation, not be afraid of standing alone for the rights of men, since we were born that way, as the only nation on earth that came into being 'for the Glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.' " And in answer to an objection by Senator Taft over continuing export controls on fats and oils as "illogical," Sen. Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin Wis-consin said: "There is such a thing as the higher logic of the mind and soul. Our responsibility is to keep our own economy healthy and at the same time attempt to perform the function of the Good Samaritan in helping to make other peoples adequate." In debate over farm price supports, Sen. Milton Young of North Dakota said price of wheat in the Argentine without controls was between be-tween $5 and $6 per bushel. Arguing for continuing controls, Senator Young said American farmers would be tickled to sign a contract for five years at $1.50 a bushel rather than face the possibility of $5 wheat this year and probably 30-cent wheat in a couple of years. |
