Ford's sabre has rattle, not finesse
Anyone who thought the United States left big stick politics behind
with Vietnam and the Paris Peace Accord had better take another
. look at President Ford's Monday warning to the world's oil pro-
Mr. Ford told the world's.developing nations, tn only slightly
cosmetic terms, that 'if you've got something that we want badly
enough, you had better give lt to us.*
•Exorbitant prices can only distort the world economy, run the
risk of worldwide depression, and threaten the breakdown of world
order and safety,* Ford told a Detroit energy conference.
The quotation, especially the la^t clause, bears a very close
resemblance to the type of thinking, thai led to Vietnam,The Domino
Theory and My Lai.
It Is sad that tbe President, In his reference to '.world order and
safety* still. views the U.S. as the world's No. 1 cop. Mr. Ford's
lack of understanding of the needstof third world nations Is even
more trag|c.
Apparently, the President feels lt the-right of the U.S. to set
prices on any commodity It needs - regardless of whp owns that
commodity.
Apparently, the chauvinistic view that the sun comes up every
morning for the sole benefit of the U.S. survives In Washington.
Never mind the fact that the U.S. has always — and will always —
reserve for Itself the right to sell Its products and materials at a
price lt considers fair.
Disregard the fact that oil producing nations from Venezuela to
Kuwait have been underpaid for their national resources Tor years as
U.S. controlled multinationals laughed all the way to stockholders'
conventions.

Once the friends and kindly
benefactors of the American free
enterprise system, It appears the
former president*and Ms family,
have decided '       '"

nation's finest
beating',
an a little dls-

pleas
assistance have been pouring In
from several of the nation's
transportation compantes for
Congress to fuel their starving
engines.
Ms. Elsenhower's trip seems
to have been an Impulsive act,
done without thought of the country's economic plight. Just when
the economy Is falling faster than
the former president's credibility ratings after his last tape
transcripts were released, and
the people are crying fqr something to restore their faith In
private enterprise — Julie hops
aboard a government plane and
files for free.
How is the rest of the country
to react? Are we to believe she
just wanted the privacy? That she
vere cut In their monthly allowances In accordance with daddy's
salary reductions? Or maybe that
she doesn't trust Amtrak or
United or even Greyhound orjust
doesn't care? It's like rats "deserting a sinking ship.
The fact remains that everyone
knows Julie and/or David could
afford to fly via commercial airlines and thus do their part to
maintain economic stability. David's university education, stint
with the Navy and short Jaunt as
a sports reporter should provide
enough experience for a Job of
left over for a cross country
. flight?
AU those free trips with the
presidential family, free meals,
free tickets to football games...
What's happened to their savings?
Could lt be that they're In the
same dire straits as so many of
those lowly'middle Americans?'
Are we to see David and Julie
dining on a can of Tender Vlttles
In the coming weeks?
Little by little, the respectability and trustworthiness of all
our great American Institutions
seems to be crumbling. First It
was the executive branch|then
the FBI, the president!*,! staff,
the CIA, Pan Am, Amtrak . . .
However, the prospect of seeing the Eisenhowers signing up
for a work camp program and
Julie dragging her mother's old
cloth coat out of the *moth balls
would be the last straw.
