Who's Sacrificing?
The present administration in Washing-
ton took office in January with a warning that
the American people must be prepared to
"sacrifice".
A lot of people must have missed that
inaugural message. Or maybe we misconstru-
ed the statement.
In Morris county, at a time when almost
everyone who wants to work can find a job,
one out of every eight families are on the rolls
to receive free federal food. A number of
these, of course, are retired people who must
depend on old age assistance checks for their
subsistence.
Among the others are some who prefer
not to work as long as they can subsist in any
other way.
The picture is different in other parts of
the nation.
In January, there were 40,031 persons in
Georgia getting free food. By June, the num-
ber had jumped to 154,429.
Oregon had no commodity recipients in
January but 7,435 in June.
In the past year, the commodity rolls in
Louisiana climbed from 90,000 to 200,000, and
North Carolina had an increase from 58 to
147,269 in the last year.
While the present federal administration
was "getting things moving again", the num-
ber of people who were classed as "needy"
and made eligible for free federal commodi-
ties was almost doubling.
There were 3.3 million Americans on the
free food list in June of 1960 and 6.2 million
a year later.
If these 6.2 million Americans missed the
message when the present administration call-
ed for sacrifices, most other Americans didn't.
They are beginning to realize that the
"sacrifices" tL must make are in higher
taxes to provide money for the public spend-
ers to dole out.
"SOONER OR LATER!"

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
World opinion is a handy
excuse for not acting
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm examines
world opinion in his letter this
week.)
Dear editar:
Every once in a while you
hear a world leader — al-
though I'd like to say before
I go any further that I don't
know what a world leader is,
the direction the world's go-
ing these days, I don't know
of anybody who'd like to be
accused of leading it — at any
rate, you hear one of them say
action of this or that nature
will be condemned by world
opinion, or endorsed by world
opinion.
I don't know what they are
talking about.
You take Russia. When Rus-
sia started testing nuclear
bombs again, lots of promin-
ent people said world opinion
would condemn her for it.
Well, she's been testing
them right and left for the
past few weeks and whatever
the world's opinion of her is,
it hasn't put a stop to the
tests. It's my opinion that it's
not world opinion but Khrush-
chev's opinion and his staff's
opinion that decide how many
tests are going to be made.
Understand, I'm not in fa-
vor of Russia's testing these
bombs, as far as I can tell they

work too satisfactorily already.
The world now has enough
bombs on hand to supply the
equivalent of ten tons of TNT
for each man, woman and
child on earth, which as far
as I'm concerned is plenty for
me, somebody sure has over-
rated me, I ain't that inde-
scructible, but so far in the
history of man, world opinion
has been one of the most in-
effective weapons imaginable
against a dictator bent on
holding on to his job.
It's a shame, too. Nothing
would suit me more than to
decline to get on my tractor
and start work on account of
it might be contrary to world
opinion. I can see real advan-
tages in going into the bank
and announcing I'd better not
pay off my note on account of
world opinion already claims
America is too rich and I don't
want to add any fuel to that
flame.
World opinion some day
may be an effective weapon,
liut right now there are too
many countries where you can
get into office without being
elected.
When my subscription to
The Monitor comes due, send
me a bill and I'll check with
world opinion to see if I ought
to pay it.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
