As Congressman Ashbrook puts it: Further delay would have injured the interests of every American. It would mean less oil, higher prices and more dependence on foreign energy sources. (See Chapter IV for further details.) Common Cause supported passage of the Land Use Planning Act. In his article Congressman Ashbrook declared: This legislation would have authorized a massive federal intrusion into the uses of private property. Traditional local control of property would have been replaced by federal rules and regulations. (See Chapter VIH for further details.) Thus it is seen that the tightening of Big Governments grip on America As Congressman cause. F. Edward Hebert s warned in an NBC interview on February 5, 1975: The American people better wake up to what this outfit is doing because they can destroy the country. LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER? -D.C. Washington, Traditionally the U.S. has maintained close ties with Great Britain. In fact, it has been called our mother since country established we our 200 years adopted the English language, measurements and customs and chose to use its great legal documents as the basis for our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We come to the aid of Britain when she is in trouble, as in World War II, and we often look to Britain for guidance in charting the course of the countrys government. Now, when we look across the Atlantic we can see our British friends are in Their trouble. deep currency, the pound, has dropped to its lowest level ever and continues to slide. Productivity is among the lowest in advanced Western countries. Inflation is about 13, second only to Italys independence ago.

They wrong wrecked their capitalistic for the heady system promises of socialism, and they allowed the unions to gain a virtual veto power over the government. Like who medieval peasants burned down their lords labor Britains manor, unions by savagely pursuing outrageous wage claims have British the smashed its political government, parties and private industry. True, they now control the country, but they find there is left little but the wreckage of a deserted battle field. The current economic problems in Britain are a vivid demonstration of what when happens people believe: 1. they can vote themselves financial security; 2. government can provide them with all the jobs they need as political candidates tell them; 3. they can work less, produce less and get paid more as labor leaders tell them; and 4. businesses are too big and too profitable as politicians tell them. It would seem to me that if Britain is to save herself, she will have to face some harsh realities, as well as some belt-tightenin- g. Prime Minister Indeed, James Callaghan, speaking before the Labor Partys convention, warned: Britain for too long has lived on borrowed time, and borrowed money He said borrowed ideas. cannot the country escape its current monetary crisis by printing confetti money and by paying ourselves more than we earn. Whether the Britons will heed the words of Callaghan remains to be seen, but I hope we will learn , before it is too late, what the Britons A now sadly know: government has no wealth, and if a politician promises to give you something for nothing, he must first confiscate that wealth from you. - William L.

TOTAL FOREIGN AID Since the end of World War II in 1945, the U.S. has paid out an estimated $221 billion dollars in foreign aid or about $1,000 for eveiy person in the country. Of this total, $ 1 45 billion or 66 percent went for economic assistance and $76 billion for military aid. A total of 140 nations have received American aid of some sort.

The conquest of the former Spanish Sahara, undertaken a year ago, has not been achieved, and the war in the Sahara is dragging on, requiring more funds than the Moroccan economy can provide.
