THE DISARMAMENT BUG
Among many organizations and
leaders the world over the great
aim, and the end-ln-view Is and
must be disarmament. Oroups all
over the world demonstrate for,
and call for, worldwide disarma-
ment.
In the United States the goal of
disarmament Is taking on increas-
ing favor and capturing the fancy
of more and more prominent people
and officials. The President Is now
conducting studies to see how the
impact of disarmament would affect
business and the national economy.
It is true that some industrlre,
the Inheritors of the old munitions -
making element in our society,
which today Include a vast range
of industrial enterprise, fear sud-
den dlsarmanment. It would con-
ceivably put some plants and fac-
tories out of operation.
But that is not the point. If dis-
armament would bring peace and
would be best for the world, then
we must go for it with all the
purpose and dedication of which we
are capable.
The truth Is, however, that total
disarmament Is a dangerous fal-
lacy In today's world and even
limited disarmament carries with
it great dangers to the United
States and the free world.
As an Ideal no one can argue
with the goal. But until the com-
munists are to be trusted and un-
til we know that others will hon-
or agreements as we do, we cannot
believe in promises or disarmament
agreements.
There can be careful steps in
this direction, perhaps, and it is
possible that the Russians can be
required to demonstrate their com-
pliance with certain steps. But the
I States will not use this great poten-
tial to start a war of aggression.
We are not a have - not nation.
Nor do we contain boiling masses,
which need living room and space
elsewhere. There are many nations,
however, tliat fit these latler-cute-
gqries and they will, without doubt
and quite postlvely, initiate war if
necessary to gain their aims _ If
they believe war can gain them
Until the world Is composed of well 1
- fed, educated masses, dedicated to
peace and order, to disarm would :
be reckless folly and perhaps fatal I
for the wealthy United States.

REQUESTS “SIMPLE WAKE"
Esher. England — In the will of
Raleigh Le May there was a clause
that he be given a simple wake
when he died.He also provided In
the will 6140 to 'be spent for a
memorial gathering of his friends.
The will stated: "Let my wake be
cheerful. I have talked about this
many times, so let there be no non-
sense after I am dead."
Mr*. James Brantley and son,
Mike, of Lawton, Okla., spent a
few days recently in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Hemphill.
COLLEGE STATION — Con-
tracts expired In Texas, December i
31, 1963. on a total of 566 571 Soli I
Bank acres. Now. points out C. H.!
Bates, farm management specialist
for the Texas gricultural Extension
Service, owners of these acres must
decide what to do with them.
No two owners will have the
same situation, says Bates, there-
fore, each must study the alterna-
tives available. Some choices are
to sell, rent, hire work done, leave
the acreage In a conserving use, or
participate In a government diver-
sion program.
If the farm has a feed grain base,
for example, the owner may want
to consider participating in the
1964 Feed Grain Program. For
owners with part of their farms
coming out of the Soil Bonk, any
feed grain base included in the
I Soil Bank land will become a part
of the farm's total base, explains
the specialist. Information on the
Feed Orain Program Is available
from county Agricultural Stublli-1
zution and Conservation and Ex-
tension offices, according to Bates !
Individual situations, existing'
cover, possible uses of the land,
yield prospects, and such consider-
| atlons as credit, equipment and 1
llvetsock available will need careful
study, says Bates.
Bates points out that Conserve- j
tion Reserve contracts, totaling '
24,068, were in effect in 1963 In 230 1
Texas counties. Acreage under these
contracts totaled 2680,286 with
566571 acres released from cc
tracts on December 31, 1963.
