WHAT CAN WE tXPECT?
THERE'S NO 4-H IN RUSSIA!
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION has long been one of the
sorest spots in the Soviet economy. Despite all manner of
plans and programs, food shortages are the rule rather than the
exception under Communism. One solution could be to "turn a
bunch of American 4-H members loose on Russia’s farms.”
That novel thought comes trom a speech an American oil
company executive made at a banquet honoring a group of 4-H
leaders. He went on to say, "This would play hob with the
beaurocratic confusion and lack of incentive in the Communist
system of state controlled agriculture, but it would get more beef,
milk, vegetables and eggs on Russian tables. . . . Actually, the
last thing in the world the Communists would want to import
w'ould be the 4-H pattern of individual growth and development,
individual incentives, and individual achievement.”
The 4-H movement represents, in principle, the antithesis of
the totalitarian philosophy. It is purely voluntary. It stands for
individual choice, and the right of the individual to own property
and to live his life as a free being who is entitled to the reward
his services to society earn. There’s no room for that in a
dictatorship.

Four Countries Extend
Regulations on North
Pacific Fur Seals
The Senate last week received
from the President for ratification
a protocol signed by Canada, Ja
pan, Russia and the United States
relative to the conservation of
North Pacific fur seals.
Provisions of the protocol signed
by representatives of the four
countries were initially formu
lated by the North Pacific Fur Seal
Conference held in Tokyo early
this year.
The two-purpose protocol con
tinues for six more years the pro
hibition now being observed by
the four countries with respect to
pelagic sealing, and provides a
joint research program designed
to provide sufficient factual data
to prepare the groundwork for
a more permanent agreement or
■arrangements among the parties to
conserve the valuable fur seal
herds of the North Pacific Ocean
and to maintain these herds at
the level of maximum sustainable
productivity.
Secretary of State Rusk has ex
pressed the hope that ratification
will be given by January 31, 1964.

revenue from the sale of legal
liquor amounted to 400 million

50 per cent of liquor consumed is
illegal, are exaggerated. He states
that smugging is now reduced to
5 per cent of what it was during
pre-repeal days. “Quality of the
liquor is improving too,” he says.
