"Le 's Turn Back From
Disaster,' J. B. Copela nd
Tells Georgia Senators
(County Commissioner G. B. Lee
of DuPont has submitted the fol-
lowing letter to the News for publi-
cation, and says he was so ~avorably
ir~pressed with it that he would like
for Clinch County citizens to read
it. The letter appeared in Tuesday's
Valdosta Daily Times and written
by J. B. Co~eland, Valdosta attar-

pears to me, like National prohibi-
tion, was a noble experiment that
failed. No more certain than that
two amt two make t~our is the fact
that this country cannot continue
to send bill,ions abroad and fight
foreign wars in far flung places all
over the world. If we have pursued
a policy in whi,c.h we are still en-
gaged and to which, unfortunately,
we are c~mmitted, and if it new
see~s certain, as most surely it does
that a continuation of tha, t policy
will presen.tly lead us into disks'~er,
then surely it is tim~ to abandon
~hat policy a,nd seek a
way off promise to the
preservation of national existence.
Our National debt is staggering and
growing by leaps and bounds. The
nation is fast becoming impoverished
and the tax burden on the [~eople
is fast reaching the un:bearable
stage. Our plight, I venture to say,
is the result of years of disregard
of the most primary and fundamen-
tal principles of economics and the
science of government. Those prin-
ciples and that science should, as ex-
peditiously as possible, be reesta-
blished and. observed. To continue
a cou.rse of action which means the
doom of a great nation is nothint~
short of madness.
What shall we do? Turn back?
Yes, as quickly as it can be accom-
plished, turn back. We must, of
course, finish this Korean war. We
should n0t be led into another war
,at some other trouble spot in Eh-
nay, to Ga U S Senators George
