stay in Atlanta at Hilton Inn

planes and cars leaving and ar
riving at the airport; then on to

hour was a new experience”, he
said. After arriving at Andrew
he soon settled down, within two

gan the devotional with a prayer
in which she asked that the mem

ings: in their own lives, their
work in the DAR, the state, and
the country, and that their work
and actions in 1972 be directed
to be acceptable in the sight
of God. Following the prayer
she read from an article found
in old St. Paul’s Church; Dated
1692, “Go placidly amid the noise
and haste, and remember what
peace there may be in silence.
Be on good terms with all per
sons. Speak your truth quietly
and qlfearly; and listen to others
even the dull and ignorant; they
too have their story. Avoid loud
and agressive persons; they are
vexations to the spirit. Enjoy
your achievements as well as
your plans. Take kindly the
counsel of the years, gracefully
surrendering the things of youth.
You are a child of the universe;
you have a right to be here. Be
at peace with God, and keep
peace with your soul. With all
its sham, drudgery and broken
dreams, it is still a beautiful
world. Be careful. Strive to be
happy."
Mrs. Herman M. Richardson
Vice President General, NSDAR,
led the Pledge of Allegiance to
the Flag of the United States
and the American’s Creed.
Mrs. Donald Spicer, Presi
dent General, NSDAR, in her
President General’s Message,
read by Mrs. W. M. Barks
dale, said: “Again God has given
us another bright New Year,
another challenge to make of it
what we will. The hope of every
New Year is our youth. We
must make it our business to
see that young Americans are
taught American History, patr
iotism, and good citizenship, that
they understand how this country
came into being, how it grew
to be so great, and why it may
lose that greatness. Somehow
they must be infused with pride
in Americanism, and in all that
term encompasses. Let us teach
this generation of Americans that
they do not have a “corner" on
concerns and problems, that
their ancestors also faced seem
ingly insurmountable obstacles
but over came them a day at a
time and gloriously. Let us teach
them faith in that heritage. In
turn, we must have faith that
the youth of America, so en
dowed with aboundant riches and
opportunities, has inherent vis
ion, courage, and strength suff
icient to preserve out - repre
sentative republic, and hopefully
this civilization.
WORLD TRADE
Mrs. Richard Grist, National
Defense Chairman, told of “Eva
luating Trade with Russia”, as
presented by Lt. General Ira
C. Eaker, USAF (Ret.) Recently
it was reported that a license
was to be issued permitting the
export of a truck factory from
the United States to the USSR,
with an annual capacity of 150,
000 trucks. The Soviets will
also be furnished the necessary
expertise to install and operate
it until Red labor has been ade
quately trained. Permits and
overatures for increased trade
with the USSR represent a radi
cal change in policy. For more
than 20 years there has wisely
been a prohibition against the
sale of strategic materials to
KAREN MCLAIN
the Reds. There can be no doubt
that trucks are strategic equip
ment. When the United States
provides trucks to Russia this
releases more of her heavy in
dustry to build offensive wea
pons.
These recent trade ne
gotiations revive disturbing
memories. We were selling
scrap iron for steel to Japan
but a few months before she
attacked us. We got it back in
bombs at Pearl Harbor.
One rationle for increasing
trade with the Reds is to pro
vide new markets for United

States goods and services, thus
improving our balance of trade.
It appears more likely that we
shall destroy future markets and
create another competitor as we
did after World War n when we
rebuilt the shattered industries
of Germany and Japan. Today
these countries are our princi
pal competitors in world
markets.
At last report the unpaid in
terest on the unpaid lend lease
agreements with the Soviets
during World War II was about $9
billion. Our world trade balance
is not improved by unpaid loans.
Our leaders must realize that
we are now engaged in a con
flict between two economic ideo
logies, capitalism and com
munism. Ir is rational for us,
for example, to supply the Reds
the fertilizer, farm machinery,
and the know-how to nfake their
defective system more palatable
to their people?
Presently, increased trade
with the Reds looks like a dan
gerous one-way street.
