Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 17, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the Unity of the enemy Adlaf Stevenson Learned something important during his visit to soviet Russia. He Learned that the Unity of soviet Russia and red China is cemented fast and that it is formidable. So Many americans suffer from the Wishful thinking that some Day the components of the soviet Universal state will fall apart and that when that happens it will be the end of All human ills i Adlai Stevenson made the Point would be a very great mistake to underestimate the present Solidarity of the soviet Union and China or indeed As mr.1 Khrushchev implied of the whole communist Empire. They May fight like cats and dogs with each other but As to the outside world their Unity is formidable. They will stick together theirs is one universe ours is another. The polish foreign minister used the analogy of a family where emotional arguments at Home do not mean disunion outside. I Quot and any idea that the soviet Union and China especially can be divided is dangerous fantasy at least for the this appraisal is about too per. Cent Correct barring some sudden upheaval in the world which can j change everything. Such an up j Haval might be a War. But Short of something cataclysmic there can by Little Hope for the separa j lion of red China from soviet Russia it is not within the logic a of history that there should be such a separation. What can happen however is that in that curious ideological Semi religious mechanism which binds the components of the soviet Universal state. Marxism the pres a Tige of Mao Tze Tung is. At this moment greater than that of any-1 one Iii Russia or in any other part of the soviet Universal state. J Mao is a professional philosopher. He taught philosophy before he became a politician. He is a Marx is by conviction he has Baste his philosophy upon the dialectical a Teri Ahern of Karl Marx. This goes Back to the Early 1920�?Ts and is unrelated to any current situation. In a word. It is a thorough conviction Long and sincerely held. If Khrushchev is a Man of action Mao is a Man of ideas and in the soviet world ideas play As great a role As action. In soviet Russia ideas Are taken As seriously As they were in the Middle Ages before everybody became sophisticated. Young people in the soviet Empire Ore quarrelling Over ideas rather than for place to which most cannot accede anyhow because of the restrictions of party membership. The theoretician is an important personage in the communist party. If the novel and Short Story Mirror Hie. The russian is still More concerned with ideas with the russian Quot soul Quot than the Peoples of the Western world who devote themselves so much to action. Even the Quot beatniks Quot of our country Are not thinking youth but a nihilistic1 youth frightened by the disappointments of their Era. There Are. No heroic figures among them. If senator John Kennedy and i governor Nelson Rockefeller Are attractive to the younger generation they have not proved themselves idealistic leaders speaking in the voice of prophecy but rather Young men of affairs America has j neither a Savonarola nor a Patrick i Henry neither a Sam Adams nor a Leon Trotzky. The spirit of revolt j from cynicism and despair is not yet in our youth but the russian youth believe that the future is theirs to find a similar Unity in the West requires thinking out our Basic problems. Curiously our first problem is not economic but spiritual we need to believe in something positively. Most of our religions have become humanistic rather than theistic we concern ourselves with the greatness of Man rather than the glory of god. Even those fundamentalists who believe in the Efficacy of prayer give it a functional purpose like Hocking a watch in a pawnshop. One does not Pray for something one prays to god As an act of adoration which is soul cleansing. It is an important Point because it could give direction to Western life. On the economic Side the West i needs Unity the same kind of Unity that the soviet Universal state has. While the competitive system among Western countries w Teekens each one of them the Unity j of the economics of soviet coun-1 tries strengthens All of them the West needs even a greater economic Unity if it is to survive in the Long years of War ahead of us.

Pleasant Iowa monday evening Noy. 17, 1938 by Carrier so per week by mall >7.50 per year Corn raisers to make important decision nov. 25 Corn producers of Henry county will go to the polls on tuesday nov. 25. To help make the decision on what the Corn program will be for 1959 and later years. The Choice is Between the present program of acreage allotments and Price supports on Corn and a new program in which there would be no acreage allotments and Price supports would be determined on a different basis. A majority vote of the Corn producers voting Here and in the other 931 commercial Corn counties of the nation will decide the outcome of the referendum.

Pleasant and has arrived Here to take Over the new position. He succeeds Leroy Nelson who has served the last few years and who will be on a leave of absence with Benners for three weeks. Whites Home originally was in Keokuk. He has been with a Burlington Benner store and formerly was on the Maquoketa police Force. The Whites have two children Mike. 4, and Terry la months. Program no. I a this is a new program. There would be no acreage allotments and no designation of a commercial Corn area. Price support under this new program would be determined on the basis of 90 percent of the average Price Farmers got for Corn in the last three years but not less than 65 percent of parity. It is now estimated that the National support level for 1959 under this program w Ould be about $1.12 to $1 15 per Bushel. If the new program is approved Price supports in proper balance with Corn would have to be offered each year on the other feed grains Oats Rye Barley and Grain sorghum. Corn compliance would be eliminated As a soil Bank Price support. Or any other program requirement. Too program no. 2 a this is essentially the same program which has been in effect in 1958 and earlier years. Corn acreage allotments would continue in effect for farms in the commercial area. With record Corn supplies allotments would probably drop next year about 15 percent below 1958 and Price support would probably average from si.24 to $1.27 a Bushel a at the Bottom of the required 75 to 90 percent of parity Range.
