Letter To Editor
The time is now. Our own Judge
J. P. Word is in the race for State
Senator.
It is an honor to any community
to send one of Us pwn to the Stat3
Government. We can’t get much
closer than that, since wc all can’t
go.
So let’s get behind Judge Word
in this campaign and help now.
To wait a few days may be too late.
There are men and women all
over the county in- each town who
have tickets for sale for a fund
raising dinner for our judge. Date
of dinner is Saturday night, Febru-
ary 24. If the ticket seller misses
you, hunt him up.
If you wish to help otherwise, a
donation of any amount will be ac-
cepted. Let’s all help in this cam-
paign and send our own to the
State Senate.
Now, before you „ dismiss the
above as not for you, think for a
few minutes—about the time, work
and money a campaign of this kind
takes. Many miles to drive, many
cards, pamphlets, stickers to buy
and distribute, and the newspaper
notices to get your campaign before
the people. i
We think the readers of this
notice want honest, clean repre
sentation in our government from
the county to the national level.
This is your and our opportunity
to send a Senator to the State
legislature whom we know, and
to send him from our hearts, not
bound-to anyone—but to be free
to represent ail of us.
Signed,
Bosque County Committee
for J. P. Word.
(This letter sent to The Clifton
Record’by Frank Kirkpatrick, with
the request it be copied and sent
to other papers in the county.)

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1962 THE CLIFTON RECORD, CLIFTON, TEXAS
Dear Friends:
You will be hearing more and
more of the ‘‘Common Market.”
Neither ihe Congress nor the U. S.
government has any control over
this Common Market. It is the crea-
tion of the natiohs of Europe, but
it is likely to greatly influence the
economic welfare of our country.
For centuries the countries of
Western Europe have erected and
maintained trade and immigration
walls against each other. Periodi-
cally, as one or another of these
countries felt the need of expan-
sion it has gone to war against its
neighbors. Iri recent times each
such explosion has involved ail, or
almost all, of the neighbors. It has
become painfully evident that not
only did trade barriers reduce the
living standards of all of the peo-
ple of all of Western Europe, but
they contributed mightily to wars
between these nations.
At the close of World War II ef-
forts were renewed to break down
these trade barriers. The United
States encouraged this policy. Af-
ter many years of patient work it
now appears that the six “Common
Market” nations—France, Germany,
Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands
and Luxemburg, are actually going
to eliminate all restrictions on the
movement of goods and people be-
tween each other. It will be 1969
before this reform is complete but
right now they are lowering these
restrictions.
At the same time these nations
have agreed to apply a common
(and generally higher) tariff against
all other countries. Actually, this is
nothing new: It is what the Ameri-.
can States do. We have absolutely
free trade between the 50 states
and restrictions (which we have
been gradually lowering for many
years) against all outsiders. What
concerns the U. S. is that Western
Europe is our best market, espec-
ially for agricultural products. If
the so-called “Outer Seven,” led by
Great Britain and including most
of the rest of Western Europe, Join
the “Inner Six” a very large part
of our trade will be affected.
Great Britain finds her position
difficult. She wants to be a part
of any European trade union but
she has her “British Common
wealth” which is nothing much
more than an existing trade union
If the European countries will re
ceive the former British colonies
and if these nations like Canada, In-
dia, Australia, New Zealand, etc.,
will join the Common Market, Great
Britain will in all probability join.
This would create a trading bloc
which would probably control so
much of the world’s trade that we
would likely seek admission. The
potentials of this Common Market
are tremendous. It may even de
velop into some kind of great
union of nations or maybe a new
nation of “Europe.”
In the meantime we must do
what we can to protect American
interests. Right now our govern-
ment is-negotiating with the “In-
ner Six" for the best trade arrange-
ments we can get. We hope to be
able to retain a favorable market
position for many of our exports
but to do so we must accept some
of their goods. Fortunately for
Texas, the Europeans are perfectly
willing to accept our cotton and
they do not want to sell us any
oil.
We will hear much more about
this great trade struggle.
