and then there’ll be a movie shooting there. The fish people
usually taka it in stride, or pay no never mind. They haw mars

the severity of the punishments they Inflict or threaten,

related — including economic freedom. When we under-

What Will Be Next?
For years, the taxpayers have been putting up for
low cost public housing to provide low rent accommo-
Now it seems that the coat of public housing has
climbed to a point where some people are unable to af-
ford it. y\ r:'W%vs''
ft Is reported that another group of families are too
rMh to qualify for public housing and too poor to afford
private housing.
Now—you've guessed It. It Is proposed that builders
of cheap privately financed housing be paid by the gov-
ernment on a monthly basis to supplement payments of
tenants too rich for public housing but too poor to pay
going rents.
“It would not be a small program -.. And so a new
federal subsidy seems about to be bom ... And we will
still have with us thorn too poor to afford the public
housing built for the poor," says the Portland Oregon-
ian.
The public has not been told what this will cost
taxpayers who are still trying to keep a roof of their own
over their heads after paying federal and local taxes.

CHAPTER 27
LJENRY L. COSTAIN did not
*1 pose much of • challenge to
any horse-dealer, be waa so
pathetically eager to purchase
gunpowder for the Continental
army.
That pitlabis body would be
expected to cooperate tn some
manner with the newly arrived
5,500 French soldiers, but for
the present It was ragged, un-
dermanned, half-starred, and
without sufficient gunpowder to
start any manner of offensive.
The Continentals ware scat-
tered in camps all tbs way from
West Point to Morristown, with
the main one at Tappan. Mr.
Costain would see that the pow-
der got to them as soon as pos-
sible. He would arrange to ha vs
drays right down by the dock,
and he would hire men to help
Ezra Bond's own hands unload.
Best of ail, he paid in gold, as
Mr. Curzan. the Congressional
agent at Statin, had promised.
He had it right there. And the
price was right—thirty pounds
starting a hundredweight
straight down the hne: a man
couldn’t ask for anything bet-
ter than that.
Mr. Costain went further. He
offered Ezra a pass to the
French camp at Newport and
a letter of introduction to the
commander-in-chief there. Count
Rochambeau. Ezra thanked him,
but declined.
“You're missing I
can tell you, captain. Every-
body around here who can af-
ford it—sad can arrange it—
they're all going. You never
saw anything like it tn your
life. They’ve got four regiments
there, and they're lots of them
dressed tn white. Imagine n
soldier in white/"
“1 met one eeriy yesterday,
only he was n sailor, an officer.
And be was a count"
•They're practically all of
them at least counts or chevs- 1
Hera, the officers. Or viscounts, 1
or marquises. There’s even a
few dukes, I understand. I tell '
you, captain, you ought to sea '
that army. The Deux-Ponta, aH
white. The Salntongea wear '
white and purple and green. All 1
the time. 1 mean, not just Sun- 1
days! The Bourbonnais have *
black coat* turned over with
red and all piped with yellow, 1
tercourse between the peoples
of the world. And this is cer-
tainly correct.
But the mistake comes when
we automatically assume that
this means that governments
of the work] should become in-
volved in various agreements
and world organizations.
By opening our bord* rs to
products produced around t he
world, we make available to
ourselves the best of every-
thing, at the lowest possible pri-
ces. By permitting individuals
to travel freely throughout the
world, we do build understand-
ing and interdependence, thus
lessening tensions and minimi-
zing the possibilities of war.
Bit by turning the control of
these activities over to govern-
ment. we maximize the oppor-
tunity for war. Governments set
tariffs and launch economic of-
fensives against each other.
Free people who have the op-
portunity to pursue their own
happiness without political re-
gulation have no interest in
war. They want the best pro-
ducts and services from the in-
dividuals in the world best cap-
able of producing them. Only
governments start wars.
Governments create wars by
following unrealistic policies.
Cattlemen Prize Freedom
Back In 1950 at the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can National Cattlemen's Association, a policy resolu-
t on was adopted warning against a socialized state
which would substitute an artificial for a natural eco-
nomy and unequivocally upholding free, competitive
enterprise.
Fifteen long years have passed since then. Some of
them have been good for the cattle producers, some
have been bad. But the cattlemen have not deviated from
that stand. At the 1965 convention, held In Portland,
Oregon, the 1950 policy resolution was reaffirmed.
This deserves national recognition and praise at a
time when so much of agriculture is, in effect, a ward
of the government, largely living off the taxpayers and
surrendering rights for subsidies. The whole meat In-
dustry, tram range to supermarket, Is a true example of
free enterprise. It is governed by the natural law of
supply and demand — not by government flat or the
fallible administrative judgements of bureaucrats. When
a steer goes to market, no one arbitrarily “sets” the
price. It is determined by the conditions of the moment,
and It varies, up or down, as those conditions warrant.
As a result, the American people are offered a meat
supply which, In quality and quantity, is unrivaled any-
where. And, over the years, the system works with fair-
ness to all others concerned — producers, packers, pro-
DAILY CROSSWORD
“It all sounds very interest-
ing,” cot tn Ezra, “but I want
to gat away again as aooo as
1 can, back to Statia.”
“And will you bring us back
some more gunpowder, cap-
tain?"
“You're dang right I will!
You just keep that gold handy!”

out of the way. and permit in-
