HOI SEWIVES today are pay
ing more for coffee because of
an international price-fixing ar
rangement which is little more
than another form of foreign aid
to Latin America, particularly
Brazil.
This country, the world’s larg-
est con su me r
of coffee, is
now beginning
to feel the ef
fect of the In
ter national
Coffee Agree
ment which
Congress rati
fied last fall.
Tka. ......
This agreement establishes re
duced quotas for exporting coun
tries and restricts the importa
tion of coffee which has resulted
in an artificial “shortage” of
coffee in the United States.
Supposedly, this was meant to
stabilize the price of coffee in I
the world market. The agree- ■
ment supports the price of coffee i
at 1962 levels, preventing them j
from going lower, thus giving '
economic aid to Brazil and other I
coffee producers.
However, this price support !
program gives no protection I
whatever to the American con-I
sumer. They are at the mercy of
an international coffee cartel.
I OPPOSED THIS agreement
and voted against it in the Sen
ate, because I felt it would
cause coffee prices to go up, and
the interests of the American
consumer were being placed be
low those abroad.
There is no coffee shortage,
despite what we hear about frost
and drought damage to the crop
in Brazil. The fact is, as the
National Coffee Association
points out, there is a world sur- /
plus of coffee which would meet

AS A TAXPAYER ...
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT!
Each year when you pay your County taxes, you make an investment in Clayton County. As
a taxpayer and investor the return on your tax dollars must come in the form of roads, law
enforcement, schools and other County services.
When you elect your County Commissioners, you select the men who will guide and manage
your County affairs, and likewise their decisions will determine the quality and quantity of
of the return on your tax dollars.
Clayton County must have competent, capable and progressive leadership if you are to re
ceive a just return on your investment.
May I urge you to inspect the qualifications and platforms of the various candidates, and
vote not based upon popularity of personality, but for the candidate whom you really be
lieve can contribute the most to Clayton County and its future.

The so-called shortage and

I been caused by the export and

the international agreement

International Coffee Council in

" E HAVE SEEN happen just
what those of us who opposed
this agreement predicted would
happen: The price of coffee has
gone up, and for every one-cent
rise in the cost, it means about
S3O million annually in the in
crease in the national consumer
market, based on United States’
consumption of coffee of three
billion pounds a year.
It has been estimated that the
wholesale price of coffee has in
creased about 14 cents a pound,
. and this has been reflected in
retail prices in what has been
j estimated to be a 10-cent in
| crease. This would amount to
। some S3OO million a year more
I the American consumber is pav
| ing for coffee.
This is a form of foreign aid,
and it is not coming out of the
U. S. Treasury but instead out of
the consumers’ pockets. I think it
is high time that we started giv
ing some thought to our own citi
zens, and while we stand willing
to do whatever is reasonable
and possible to help other coun
tries financially, there is such a
thing as self-interest.
We are derelict in our respon
sibilities to the American peo
ple if we don’t give this more
consideration in our dealings
abroad.

JUDGE, CRIMINAL COURT |
According to A. O Williams,
temporary chairman of the GOP
in Clayton County, "We hope
to elect delegates who are ple
dged to Goldwater. We are still
for the Arizona senator here and
are certain that he has lost
nothing in stature or favorit
ism since the assassination of
President Kennedy.
"There may have been some
feeling to that effect elsewhere
but not in our county. We still
solidly back him and we have
found no sentiment for Nixon or
any other Republican locally.”
Mr. Williams said the Gold
water For President headquar
ters on Main st. was closed
down at the time of Mr. Ken
nedy’s death and was not re
opened. However, he added that
headquarters will be reopened
following the April convention.
Where, he does not know, since
the building formerly occupied
is no longer available.

just couldn't help it.
This is the family of the man who would be your repre

He is the man who, in the fall of 1963, spearheaded a
drive to get every qualified person in Riverdale to regis
ter to vote. They got all but ten —a record probably un
equalled anywhere else in the nation. Arch Gary wasn't
running for anything then; he's just a stickler for using
the most precious privilege we have — our vote.
He is the man so completely dedicated, that, during his
administration as Mayor of Riverdale, the city was al
most tripled in size. When he was elected in 1962, city
