Surplus Commodities.


Sixty schools obtained commodities
from the November allotment. About
80 schools have now made applica-
ton.
Schools should select, from the list,
on notices sent, the particular COM
modities that can be used or served
at their school. Schools that have
warm lunch service or cooks can
use more items than those schools
that have no such facilities.
Schools unable to call for or send
for commodities, should notify Lynn
Burige of the Pine City Welfare
Board, soon after notice is received.
Thus no commodities need be held
for them as some spoil.

Toward Support Of Presidents Foreign Policy

/ drawn from the domestic phases
of the war effort.
Senator Vandenberg indicated
what the Republicans may have in
mind in the latter regard when he
said in recent speech that "pri-
critics, curtailments, price controls
and mex taxes-the Four Horsemen
who ride the domestic scene along
with the Four Freedoms-can do
more internal damage to America
in the next six months than any
external aggressor is calculated ever
to do"
But this desire to shift the issue
is not the main reason why the
Republicans have changed their
tune. Far more important is the
fact that most Congress members
recently have visited their home
districts for the first extended stay
since last years election. They
| found. they say, that the fear of
war involvement, which was pre-
dominant in the 1910 campaign, has
given way to belief that the United
States already is irretrievabiy in
volved and that the quicker the job
is gotten through with the better.
Public Opinion Changing.
Linked with the latter conclusion
is change in popular opinion, aris-
ing from the German invasion of
Russia. A year ago most Amer
leans could not see how Great Brit
ain could escape ultimate annihila-
ton, and even less could they Wis
ualize a decisive British victory in
any reasonable time, even with
American help.
The Congress members must de-
clare that in the last three months
all this has changed. An impression
is abroad that. by adding Russia to
his enemies. Hitler has bit off more
than he can chew. More than in
Washington, folks back home, where
the goods come from. are beginning
to sense the powerful roll of Amer
lcan material aid to Great Britain.
American occupation of Iceland, be-
cause 1t seems to have greatly dimin-
lshed German submarine sinkings
without bringing the United States
actually into the fight, is increas-
ingly popular. So is the aggressive
policy the President has assumed
toward Japan, for the same reason.
Most important of all in solidify-
ing popular support behind the
President may be a growing con-
viction that, as things stand, he has
both Germany and Japan out
bluffed and that a demonstration Of
American solidarity behind Mr..
Roosevelt is the best way to continue
/ this situation.
/ Last but not least of the factors
which have caused Republican Con-
greSS members to shy away from
non-interventionism was Wendell L.
Wilkes recent assertion that he
was going to see to it that every Re-
publican Congressman so classified
had opposition in next years pri-
maries. Most Of the Congressman
have no love for Mr. Wilkie. but, re-
membering that he polled some 22,-
100000 votes, neither do they relish
the thought Of him coming into
their States and districts to speak
against them.

army and will share the fate of
Greece and Yugoslavia.
The Turks know that they
cannot defend their European
territory. The Notifications at
Edirne and Tchataldja are anti
quated and could not resist a
Bulgarian-German blitz for more
than 48 hours. The Ankara high
command has only a small force
in that region-not more than
five divisions-and it is possible
that if the threat becomes seri-

has been guaranteed the right
of collective bargaining. Unless
labor is drafted" just as men are
drafted for military service, there
seems no way of dealing either
with the strike situation or wages.
To draft men for employment in
private industry-part of which
Is not connected with national
defense-would be another tough
nut-a step which probably would
not be undertaken unless this
country were in desperate straits.
Workers Face Dilemma.
Another practical difficulty is
found in arriving at any ceiling
for farm products-with the tre-
mendous political leverage which
the farmers of the Nation have
on Congress. In the last war
farm prices and food prices rose
tremendously, and 1t was only
after a bitter experience that a
maximum price-something be-
low SO a bushel-was placed on
wheat.
Unless something is done, how
ever, to deal with the whole range
of prices and costs, industry and
the great unorganiZed millions of
Americans who work-and the
American people generally-Will
be left holding the bag. How the
structure can exist, with half of
the prices free and the other half
under rigid control, it is difficult
to understand.
The House Banking and Cur
rency Committee. under the
Craftsmanship of Representa-
tive Steagall of Albania, is pro-
ceeding as rapidly as possible
with it's hearings on the adminis-
tration price control bill. Much
as it recognized the value of Mr..
Baruch's statement. there is rea-
son to believe it does not see its
way clear to going ahead with
such an all-inclusive proposal as
he made. Having heard Mr..
Baruch, it is now giving its at
tention to Leon B. Henderson,
President Roosevelt's choice to
head the price control agency,
who already has been function
ing in advance of the passage Of
a law. Mr.. Henderson received
the personal blessing of Mr.. Ba-
ruch as the proper man to ad-
minister the law He certainly is
expected to have the backing of
the President.
The committee plans to press
on as quickly as possible-With
the country confronted already
with alarming price increases.
1t will hear Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau and Mar
riner S. Eccles. head of the Fed
eral Reserve Board. Thereafter
it will give industry a chance to
be heard-including the Cham
Der of Commerce and other Or

must, however, complete the
hearings, If action is to be had.
The cost of living is on the way
up. Under these circumstances
it is natural to expect demands
for increased wages. Such in
creases, however, in turn cause
higher living costs. Since the
beginning of the war, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the weekly earnings in manufac-
turing plants have increased on
an average of 80 per cent, al
though the cost of living has gone
up approximately only 7la per
cent. 1t is just question of time
before these wage increases will
force up the cost of living.
In a similar space of time, the
farm prices have advanced 81
per cent, as compared to an aver
age increase of % per cent for all
prices. 1t is obvious that some
steps must be taken before long,
unless there is to be tremendous
initiation all along the line.

BY JAY HAYDEN.

If there was doubt that the United
States is enlisted in the present war,
to any extent necessary to defeat
Hitlerism, it has been removed by
the remarkable about-face Republi-
can members of Congress have
executed recently.
Senator Capper, whose supreme
aim always is to reflect the opinions
OF his Kansas constituency, started
the ball rolling with a declaration
Immediately after President Roose-
velt's shoot-on-sight speech that
this pronouncement had cast the
die" and there was nothing he, as
2. Senator, could do from here on
but support the President. When
Representative Dirksen of Illinois
echoed this same thought in a
speech in the House last week he
drew surprising applause from Re-
publican colleagues. Even Senator
Taft chimed in on Saturday to the
extent of urging campaigners and
voters in the congressional pri-
maries, soon to start, to leave for
eign policy out of the picture.
Obstruction Role Disliked.
Seeking to determine the mean
ing of this shift, in terms of future
congressional action, this writer has
talked over the week end with Re-
publican members of both houses.
Without exception these off the
record interviews supported the i'm
preston that the minority party has
sickened of the role of obstruction,
which its congressional majority has
pursued ever since the arms en-
barge fight in the fall of 1899. 1t is
too much to expect that this atti-
tude will be completely reversed at
one stroke. But it is here predicted
that each congressional test from
now on will show a substantial in
crease of Republican votes in favor
Of moves in aid of the fight against
the Axis, short only of sending an
other A. E F. to fight on European
soil.
1t can be stated further with COM
plete assurance that the change thus
heralded is highly pleasing to the
titular Republican congressional
leaders, Representative Martin and
Senator McNary.
AS minority leader of the House,
Representative Martin generally has
voted with the on-interVentioniSt
majority of his following, but, as
Republican national chairman, he
has avoided any commitment OF the
party on the international issue.
McNary's Position Cited.
Senator McNary's votes also have
been predominantly non-interven-
zionist, but he has made no secret
of his belief that it would be a
serious mistake for the Republicans
to make opposition to the admins
tration's international policies q
partisan issue.
Republicans consulted, however
are careful to emphasize that this
new spirit of unity applies only to
foreign policy. Indeed. one of the
considerations prompting unalloyed
support for embattled democracies
appears to be a desire to clear the
WaY for creation of other issues

adhere to the Axis. Observers
place little military importance
on the entrance of some 100000
Bulgarian troops into the war.
These forces can be used only
against Turkey. The Germans
wouldn't dare use them on the
Soviet front because of the deep
affinity between the Bulgarian
peasant soldier and the Russians.
The Bulgarian Black Sea ports
would be valuable to the Reich
only if italian warships and
transports could be smuggled
through the Dardanelles and the
Borporus into the Black Sea.
The Ankara government has
played a cagey game since the
outbreak of the war. 1t has
signed an alliance with the Brit
ish and an economic agreement
with the Reich. At one time,
President Ismet Inonu and his
foreign minister, Sukru Sara
coglu, considered Russia the
greatest menace to their country.
Both leaders have maneuvered
themselves into a position Of
happy neutrality by playing ball
with both the London and Berlin
foreign Offices.
Won Papen Warns Turks.
The time is fast approaching,
however, when this game must
end. The British and the Rus
slams have important forces on
the eastern and southern borders
of Turkey. They are reported to
be telling Ankara that while they
do not expect the Turkish armies
to join them, they fully expect
Turkey to defend her neutrality
in Asia Minor with all the means
at her disposal. If need be, the
British Ambassador at Ankara is
reported as saying, war material
and the British and the Free
French forces from Syria could
be dispatched to help the Turks
against the Germans.
On the other hand, Herr Franz
Won Papen. Germany's Ambassa-
dor to Ankara, is using more or
less similar language-but with
more punch. He is reported to
be telling the Turkish President
that the situation may soon be-
come such that the Axis forces
may have to ask permission to go
through European Turkey and
Anatolia to fight the British in
Iran and Iraq. Col. Won Papen
holds a carrot at the end of his
whip. He is telling the Turks
that if they maintain their neu-
trality as the Danes did in March,
194G-that is to say, if they don't
oppose the passage of Axis forces
through their country, Turkey
will be included in the new
