Washingto'h-r-(NEA)—This capital is still considerably hung
over from its Middle Eastern emotional binge.
It began with President Eisenhower's presentation of his new
Middle East Doctrine to Congress after New Year’s.
It reached a climax with the visits of King Saud and little, lame
Prince Mashhur of Saudi Arabia* Crown Prince Emir Abdul Iliah of
Iraq and Foreign Minister Charles Malik of I ebanon.
The several conferences between the king and crqwn prince were
positively historic. For what is not generally recognised is that 30-odd
years ago, King Baud’s father drove Crown Prince Illah’s father off
the throne of the Heja*. /
Now the two leaders of the ancient Wahhabi andJ Hashemite ene-
mies have sat down together in Washington to talk peace,
A formal exchange of ambassadors between Saudi Arabia and
Iraq may be looked for as the next development in their friendly re-
lations. But anyone who expects miracles from even this significant
beginning is being advised to relax.
Approval by Congress of a new Eisenhower Doctrine will not
solve anything, either. For the problems of this area where Europe,
Asia and Africa come together are as old as history.

We Must: Stand Together
Every time the Soviet Union warns
nearby nations against permitting bases
for the delivery of nuclear Weapons, the
free world fears a new upsurge of crip-
pling neutralism.
,•, In the light of past experience it would
be foolish to say there is no sense in such
fears. No one easily contemplates the
threat of atomic annihilation. We would
not, and we cannot expect others to do so.
Yet despite this menace we ask that
our friends abroad in that arc which rings
Russia from Scandinavia to Pakistan, to
hold firm in alliance against communism.
, We can ask this in good conscience be-
cause we know that, above all the other
countries, the United States would be the
object of nuclear assault should the Krem-
lin decide upon war.
It would indeed be easier for the Rus-
sians to deliver atomic blows against coun-
tries closer by. but Moscow knows that we
would be No 1 on the destruction list. If
the Soviet Union could not speedily re-
—duoe the "United-States to impotence, the
Reds’ chance of winning a war would go
glimmering. Our retaliatory power would
be the telling factor.
Admittedly,-the bases we have over-
seas fit into the pattern of retaliatory
power. But so long as we could send
giant long-range fleets of nuclear bomb-
ers from American fields, or launch inter-
continental guided missiles upon Red soil,
the masters of the Kremlin could feel no
real confidence.
Thus w*e are not asking our anti-Com-
rnunist allies to live under threat greater
than that which faces us. The danger is
general — not limited to the NATO and
other lands which encompass Russia.
It is today meaningless for any of these
lanrds to say: “We don’t want our ruins to
fee liberated again. We don’t want any
ruins this time.’
The ruin would be worldwide from
the outset, and there would be no prize
for the winner to pick up, whether he
stood 500 miles from Russian soil or 5,-
000.
The way to prevent this general nu-.
clear holocaust is not for trembling near-
by countries to peel off from the alliance
and. in fear, move toward neutralism.
The way to avoid disaster is to stay
linked together in tight array against the
Soviet menace. That is perhaps the one
secure means of assuring that the threat
—to both near and far—will never mate-
rialize. _-_
Washington Letter...

Washington.—-Teen-agers barely a beat away
from rock-and-roll went such great guns for the
long-hair mu:ic offered by the National Sym-
phony Orchestra last spring that a second series
js planned for this year.
The orchestra will present the “Music for
Young America” free concerts every evening front
April IT through May 21. Mrs. Merriweather
Post, whose interest in making good music avail-
able to all young people led to the first concerts,1
is also sponsoring the second series.
Last year “live” symphony .music was brought
to visitors front <3 ‘■•tales—and more than half of
them revealed they had never attended a concert
before. ■ ■
The orchestra also is sponsoring its second an-
nual Merriweather Post Contest to find the na-
tion’s finest pianist, violinist or cellist-among the
young musicians attending some, 30,000 public,
private and parochial secondary schools over the
country. One will be chosen to receive the ?2,000
award and an appearance with the orchestras at
the finals to be held simultaneously with the con-
certs in May.
Judith Burganper, 17-year-old pianist from
Buffalo, playing Rachmaninoffs Second Piano
Concerto, was winner of the first contest last
year. She was .one of 384 youths who entered
the competition.
Pert, pony-tailed Judy, a baker’s daughter,
said when she appeared to give a mid-winter con-
cert with the symphony that the “field is full of
young people” who are glad to have the oppoi-
tunity to compete in the Post contest. They are
Working hard .to gain recognition, she said.
A senior at Cleveland Hill High School, she
said she practiced her music three or four hours
every day after school last year and spent seven
or eight hours daily at her piano during the sum-
mer. In addition, she made the school’s honor
roil.
Judy Mai-ted giving concerts at Kleinhaus Mu-
sic Hall in Buffalo at six, played with the Toronto
Symphony at, 13 and has appeared with the fa-
mous Buffalo Chromatic (Tub and Buffalo Phil-
harmonic orchestras. Every time she gives a con-
cert she goes home1 determined to work harder. “I
have to live up to the last time and get better,1r
she says. Of her Washington appearance where
she received a big bouquet of red roses from Mrs.
Post, and an enthusiastic hand from her young
audience, Judy said: The kids were wonderful.
They called me back and back again. They were
so responsive and appreciative.

A STUDY OF HISTORY. By Arnold J. Toyn-
bee. Abridgement of Volumes VII - X by D. C.
Somervell. Oxford.
First you read the beginning six volumes of
Toynbee's. “Study," next Somervell’s abridgement*
then the last four volumes of Toynbee, published
in ,1954. You can go back to them, too, now in
this abridgement And that isn)t all: The last
40 of these 400 pages, except for the index, are
an abridgement of the entire work, section by
section.
In his youth one of Toynbee’s first studies was
Greece, and one of his questions was: Why did
Hellenic civilisation die? Asking himself why
other civilizations also had died, he was embark-
ed on this great work.
The closing Volumes summarized here had to
do with universal states, the universal churches
and the heroic ages; the contacts between civilisa-
tions; and “The Prospects of the Western Civili-
zation,” in which Toynbee assesses the capitalist
and Communist rivals to our advantage and con-
cludes with a forecast something less than delir-
iously happy, to the effect that regimentation may
be a benefit in driving us all again to glorify and
enjoy God. JY..
Toynbee approves of abridgement, and indeed
hails Somervell as “my partner,” surely the high-
est praise, and handsomely merited by Somervell
for the accomplishment of ftiis unbelievably dif-
ficult task; here is indeed the solid enduring sub-
stance of Toynbee’s thought. Somervell has even
updated the text: Toynbee now states as of 1956
some opinions he first expressed as of 1954 or
earlier.

' efteraaoo t.xceol Saturday) and Sunday tnuminr.
Entered at th* coat Office in Sulphur Springs,
“Money — Master or Servant?”
It is my sincere hope that every
person interested in this import-
ant subject will get a copy of this
book by requesting it from any
Federal Reserve Bank; in our Dis-
trict, of.cojirse, the Dallas Bank.
What it discloses is correct infor-
mation, but the information it
does not disclose, 1 expect to com-
ment bn in these letters in the,
future.
Before 1935, we had a regional
Federal Reserve banking System;
since 1935, we have had a central
banking system. The so-called
stock held by member banks is
not stock at all; it is make-be-
lieve. Furthermore, the deposits
of .member banks with the Fed-
eral Reserve System as reserves
are not used for any purpose. Con-
trary to the statements being cir-
culated by many misled people,
when the Federal Reserve System
needs money, it is created on the
credit of the nation, not backed
by stock in the Federal Reserve
System or member bank balances.
There is a provision about a cer-
tain amount of gold being back of
the money, but this is gold owned
by the government and is not nec-
essary The fact that" the money
issued must be accepted in pay-
ment of debts and taxes is suf-
ficient.
The money question is more
important now than at any time
in our history except perhaps dur-
ing the 1890’s. The phrase “sound
money,” is a misnomer in that it
is a Republican phrase to indicate
tight money and high interest.
The is s u a n e e of distribution of
money should be made in the pub-
lic interest to help all the people
and not a privileged few.
New Consumers: Our economy
is geared to purchasing power.
The wheels of industry turn fast
or slow in proportion to the abil-
ity of the people to buy goods and
services.
The present rate of approxi-
mtely 85,000 new babies a day in
the world would be enough numer-
ically in two weeks to populate a
city the size of Cleveland. Our
United States population is in-
creasing at the rate of 2.800,000
per year. Some experts estimate
that our population in the United
States will exceed 250,000,000 by
1976; that United States house-
holds will increase 20,000,000
over the present 48,000,000 fam-
ilies. This is a great challenge to
all of us. The challenge can he
met if we work in the interest of
the general welfare of all the peo-
ple. It is only in that way can we
provide the goods and services, in-
cluding the food and fiber, neces-
sary to sustain the increased pop-
ulation.
Shorter Hours: Among the ma-
jor problems that must be con-
sidered in plans for the future
for the people of our country is
the question of shorter hours in
the coming a g e of automation.
How does the average worker
want his additional time off?
There arc advantages and disad-
vantages to a shorter workday—
say six or seven hours; likewise,
with a shorter workweek or three-
day weekends or longer vacations.
Doubtless, a combination of these
will enter into the consideration
given to this subject.
Hoover Commission: Congress-
man Cannon, of Missouri, Chair-
man of the Committee on Appro-
priations of the House, received
hundreds of letters daily to the
effect “that the Hoover Commis-
sion had recommended measures,
which, If adopted, would have $4-
billion a year.’’ Mr. Cannon, in a
speech, stated “that statement has
be settled in seven days or even seven years.
People who have not lived all their lives in the Middle East should
probably not try to talk or write about it. But the people who were
born there and have studied its history say that what is conveniently
referred to as “the Middle East Problem” is really dozens of separate
problems, all tangled up like a barrel of worms.
These 10 major issues are included aniong other minor ones:
- The Arab-Israeli conflict. Little hope is seen for its settlement,
for the two sides will not negotiate. The most that can be done is
prevent them from fighting.
Communist infiltration. It operates behind a screen of opposition
to western European and American “colonialism." The western world
is trying to check communism by a backbone defense across Turkey,
Iraq, Iran^and Pakistan. Communism leapfrogs it.
Arab federation. It is still only in the talk stage.
The intellectual awakening in Islam. Modernization is slowed
by some Countries still so backward they are only now said to be
plunging headlong into the 13th century.”
New nationalistic rivalries. Syria, for instance, is now said to be
able to make no decision contrary to Communist interest. As Syria
goes, so goes Jordan, country without a future.
Turkey. How will it react to any changes on Its borders?
Egypt. To consider President Nasser as the whole problem of
the Egyptian people, with the lowest standard of living in the world,
and an exploding population.
Persian Gulf oil. Its proper distribution to Europe and the rest
of the world constitutes the really foremost economic issue. This rais-
es another important question of—
U. S., British and French interests in the Middle East. The
fqllest possible cooperation of western Europe and America on all
matters affecting this area is now regarded as essential.
Military defenses. This is closely related to the economic prob-
lems of the entire area. Security must be assured before there can be
economic development.
