This is the question many people ask as opponents of U. S. liberal trade policies try to in- - o- fiuence public opinion against imports. Lcfore we fall easy prey to those who want to frighten us into believing that imports are harmful, let us examine the economic facts: low-wa- ge TOUpn More than one-haof U. S. imports are needed raw materials or crude foodstuffs things we do not produce here at all or in v. hich our production is inadequate for our needs. Most of the other goods lf develop the industries of other countries of the world and thus raise their standards of living. How can we help them if we shut out their goods? Living standards differ between countries even as they do in our own country. It is not the hourly wage that determines the price of a commodity, but the cost per unit. Because of our mass production, our efficiency, and our technological developments, our industries, paying the highest wages in the world, can compete successfully with the other countries of the world. Our total exports, largely finished products made by American labor, are always greater than our total imports! Let us remember how often labor fought the introduction are not competitive because they arc specialties or luxury articles. The small amount of imports which may compete with similar American products gives the consumer an opportunity to buy at lower prices and to get variety. With the cost of living ever on the rise, the consumer should welcome such imports which help keep prices down, and stem the tide of creeping inflation. It is elementary economics that what a consumer saves on one item, he spends on another so that business, labor and the consumer are all getting the benefit. This is a direct benefit. Then there is an indirect benefit. The countries we buy from, bfly our goods, helping our own industries and our own labor force engaged in making goods for export. One of the purposes for which the United Nations was of machinery, fearing that it would cause unemployment These have been unnecessary fears because our labor-savin- g increasing productivity, our organized was "to promote higher standards of living, full employment, and conditions of constantly increasing population, have given us the highest standard of living ever achieved. And still, our economic and social progress and development." The United States, through its liberal trade policies in effect since 1934, has facilitated trade in order to NATIONAL OUTLOOK in- creasing incomes, and our increased consumption with a are only three per centimports of our gross national product! In view of all this, why fear imports? !cf such an item as a reduction on our children's inherited mort page. And once we have estab lished such payments as normal practice we can profitably make improvements in our tax struc ture and thereby truly reduce the heavy burdens of taxation." At first glance this appears to be a conservative and appealing point of view. But analysis of its implications raises some fundamental issues. If we can not have tax relief with income exceeding expenditures by $4.2 billion, how much surplus must we have before beginninng a program of tax I By Ralph Robev j PRESIDENT EISENHOWER ON TAXES Fr:m the viewpoint of business the moit important statement in message the by President Eisenhower probably was that on retirement of the public debt. Back of this was a projected surplus of $200 million for the current fiscal year ending next June 30 and an estimate of $4.2 billion surplus for the following fiscal year. The projection for this year is another revision by the Admini-strtio- n. review In the mid-ye- ar the Budget Bureau it was by predicted that there would be a surplus of $100 million. Then, a few weeks later. Budget Bureau Director Slans, said that the chances were wc would have a deficit this year. The difference was continuation of strike and the influence of this upon both corporate profrts and individual income. This current revision, however, can be ac- counted for by o her than so tie- ment of the steel strike Only a few days ago the Federal Reserve System adopted a new formula for the retention of its earnings, and this resulted in an increased payment to Uie U.

One of our friends in has answered Massachusetts that question! "When God heals," says this devout lady, "He heals for good!" Mrs. Calogero was healed of a goiter, arthritis and a cyst on her eye after being prayed for in Pensacola, Florida, in 1957. "I was operated on for a double goiter in 1953," says Mrs. Calogero. "Three years later, another goiter started to grow. Only another operation could have removed it, according to the physicians." She relates how the goiter would often tighten up, giving her the feeling of choking. "I had to sleep with my head on three pillows to get relief. Arthritis afflicted my right arm until I could not raise it above my head. The cyst, on my right eye. often blurred mv vision." The woman tells how all her afflictions disappeared following the prayer of faith for her healing.

I have driven more than 10,000 miles to testify in various churches of my healing from God. "It is wonderful to be a Christian and to know such a good, such a big God!" We get many letters every week from people like Mrs. Calogero. They testify to God's healing power as a lasting power. For example, one man in New York State who was healed of lung cancer in 1955 reported to me recently that he was still enjoying good health after four years. The cancer has not returned. Another friend wrote me recently that her healing from a nervous disorder in 1957 "is still holding!" The same Jesus that healed the sick in Biblical times heals today. There is no evidence in the Bible that anyone healed by Jesus had a recurrence of his affliction. Yes, as Mrs. Calogero says so simply: "When Cod heals, He heals for good!"
