The article quotes Bethlehem’s chairman Stewart Cort arguing for freer international trade while warning that domestic policies risk shrinking the market.

A Sacramento letter to the Journal cites a survey showing one third of U.S. real estate taxes being shouldered by others. It notes low under 21 registration in Erie County and questions political will. The writer condemns waste, war spending, and large federal programs while urging action.
Pryor to 30 was still a lot of faith in the system up to about three years ago. The Democratic convention at Chicago in 1968 killed that faith all at once. A lot of young people who had dropped out, dropped back in to campaign for Eugene McCarthy in the presidential primaries. McCarthy won the primaries, but for some reason McCarthy did not get all the votes he won in his primary campaign. Not even on the first ballot, as is customary. There is reason to be disillusioned, but as the presidential elections of 1972 come up, there is also reason to be hopeful. In 1972, 13 million young people will be able to take part in the democratic process that will elect this nation's leaders. By reason of the recently granted power to vote, they have power not only at the ballot box, but in the party caucuses and smoke filled rooms of the country. They have the power to speak where the game of politics is played. In theory, at least, the nation's new voters hold in their hands sizeable chunk of people power that can, if organized, be welded into an effective tool to bring about change in this country. Let's hope that a lot of people get out to register to vote before the September deadline and that those people care to do more with their vote than vote.
