4 —Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 6, 1965 From Where We Stand... When Are Wo Going To Stop Playing Russian Roulette? One of the big stories in the world’s news for the past two months has been the question of whether the United States would back down and permit the Russians, and now also the French, to have the exclusive privilege of saying which peace-keeping operations they would support and which they would not. The U.N. Secretary General, U Thant, came up with a compromise plan that would permit the Russians to make a token payment and thus “save face”. So far our officials have resisted this world pressure to compromise the principles that would eventually bank rupt the United Nations organization. The U.S. has brought some pressure of its own to bear with the suggestion that they would withhold many of the massive contributions they have made to the World Body if this dues-paying vio lation is tolerated. Now the situation is so touchy that no issue that may require a vote can appear on the agenda for fear the U.S. will bring the whole business to a head by challenging the Russian or French votes. We don’t pretend to understand the intricasies of diplomatic protocol, but it seems to us that for the first time in too long we are in the offensive position, instead of our usual indefen sible position. We’ve got the Soviets dead to rights with their hand in the till, and the law clearly on our side. If we back off from this issue now and permit them to squirm out from under, then we deserve the kick in the head which will be forthcoming. Article 19 of the U.N. Charter states clearly that any member country two years behind in its dues shall have no vote in the Assembly. Russia and France are now two years behind in their dues; where is the problem? What’s to dis cuss? As old Chinese proverb says, “no payee, no votee”. Well the Russians say that if we’re going to be nasty and make them pay their bills they won’t play anymore. They’ll take their veto and go home. Will they? Maybe, but we rather doubt they will withdraw permanently. After all, they have gotten far more from the U.N. over the years than they have given! It’s a calculated risk, but so is crossing the street, or shooting a man to the moon.

The facts are all In; the rules of the game are clear. They should be enforced RIGHT NOW! What Do YOU Think?. • ★ ★ ★ ★ Cigarettes With Mayonnaise! Have you heard what’s in store for cigarette smokers soon? A cigarette made of lettuce leaves! Now corn silk we can believe, but lettuce leaves? It must be a conspiracy concocted by the lettuce growers’ public relations people to find an outlet for a waste produdt. The part of the plant that will be used is the outer leaves which are usual ly discarded before the head goes to market. Whether or not this is some gigantic hoax, it has been reported that these cigarettes, or “lettuce-ettes”, will be on the market sometime in March, and will sell for about 42 cents per pack. It is further reported that two Pennsyl vania hospitals are presently running medical tests on this product. Can you imagine the series of jokes and comments that this new product will bring about? Instead of lighters and matches people may now be carrying pocket-size mayonnaise dispensers. Or, perhaps a container of “Gleam” tooth paste for people who can’t brush be tween smokes. Or, how about the wife who says to her husband, “Dear, will you run down to the store for a head of lettuce? I want to make a salad.” Natur ally, he says, “Here, I’ve got an extra pack of cigarettes; use them.” Or, the new health fad that may develop the federal gov’t has been cracking down hard on cigarette advertising; now the advertisers can say, “Smoke your way to health and happiness with Lucky Lettuce cigarettes they’re vitamin packed!” Another cigarette manufactur er may advertize, “Our new cigarettes come with three delicious filtered dress ings Mayonnaise, French or Russian.” Another may claim, “More smokers are eating our brand than ever before.” Or, “Does your cigarette taste different lately? Well, it should; you see, we’re now adding just a little slice of tomato and . . Or, “When we say our smoke is Cool we mean cool. Refrigerate for long-lasting flavor”. Or, “Smokey the Rabbit recommends our Big Boston Butts ten to one over Cabbage-ettes, Carrettes, and the five next most popu lar brands.” The temptation to continue this in anity is great, but we’ll quit now and lettuce you play with this idea. * ★ ★ ★ hand, he said (Two things, in his opinion, point definitely to a need for quotas One, the caiiyovei has been increasing Coi the past ten years, second •y. the rate of disappeaiance has not appreciably changed in ten years He said that the source of cheap cigarette to bacco that cigar manufactui di s were using has now been oretty well dned up due to quotas and price supports That is why, Connally said, Lancaster fanners got a bet tei pi ice this year foi some of then poorer grade tobacco Type 41 is the only cigar to bacco in the US, the official said, that is not under price suppoit Stmilai mfoimation meetings will be held on Febmaiy 10 in the New Holland Fire Co hall at 1 pm, same date at Qmaiyvdle Fue Co hall at 730 p m Feoruaiy 12 at Hos teltei s Banquet Hall.
