Editorial Comments
What's in a name?
Apparently quite a bit.   Producers of "Bye Bye Birdie,
the hit Broadway musical staged for campus production Apr.
TS-27, thought up five different titles before the present one
emerged.
The play about a rock 'n roll
Idol first was titled "Going
at-adj-." This gave way to "Good-
art Birdie," which In turn gave
say to "Tha Day They Took
Birdie Away." "Love and Kisses"
■u a temporary title. After being
•named "Goodbye Birdie." pro-
ineers hit upon "Bye Bye Birdie."

Sound unusual? Yes. but this is
how PS News and World Report
('a3St describes America's reaction to
ihe European Common Market's
variable Import fees on farm
producis, which raises the price
of (arm Imports higher than the
home grown product.
American agriculture has been
hurt, and will be hurt even more
when the F.CM full)-develops Into
its planned economic and political
day convention.

and there Is no reason to give
p our talking.. But there's no
question that we'll have to learn
to live with It. The ECM was not
formed for our benefit, and we
should keep this In mind for a
more objective view.
Can't Decide
"We can't dictate to them be¬
cause we are no longer lo a posi¬
tion lo dictate. They are strong
enough economically to be on
their own. they're not down and
out' now tike they were after
World War II."
American agriculture needs the
European market. Countries com¬
prising the union now buy GS per
cent of the United States' exports
of feed' grain, 43 per cent of our
exported poultry, 37 per cent of
our overseas sales of wheat and
flour, 28 per cent of the tobacco
exported, and additional farm
goods totaling more than (1,000,-
000 annually. Food exports total
one of every four export dollars,
and one half of the US farm pro¬
duce exported for money la bought
by ECM countries. It Is essy to
see why American farmers are
worried about loslhg this market,
l'olnt Overlooked
However, one point often over¬
looked In tbe ECM furor Is that,
on a trade value basis, about
$700,000,000 worth of US Una
products annually can be sold to
the area without difficulty. This
trade, comprising' about 70 per
cent of our ECM exports, involves
those commodities which tbe com¬
munity does not produce, or pro¬
duces In limited quantities.
Tbe demand for these products
should even increase aa tbe mar¬
ket economy grows. .Soybeans,
bides and skins are Included in
this category, and the outlook for
some fruits and vegetables la rea¬
sonably good.
But trouble lies ahead for the
other 30 per cent, valued at about
1300,000,000 yearly. The pros¬
pects for our grain, rice, poultry.
wheat, and corn exports, among
others, are cloudy, and It Is hers)*
that the American farmer Is going
to be hart where Is already suf¬
fering—in tbe pocketbook.
Whjr Unionise?

union, obviously so harmful to
US agriculture, the goal ot the
