SEEING OURSELVES
AS OTHERS SEE US
Tulare Times

Back from South America as a men,
ber of a fact-finding eXpedition-not a
good will tour-composed of prominent
American industrial scientists, DR.. Mil
ton SilVerman, San Francisco bio-chem-
ist and author, has several trenchant
comments to make on his 26,000 mile tour
of the neighbor continent.
With more modesty than most, DR..
SilVerman says that to qualify as an eX-
pert on South American affairs you must
either stay there less than week or more
than ten years. Not as an expert there
fore, but merely as an astute observer,
he brings back the following conclusions:
The Latin American countries are rapid
ly becoming surfeited with good will
tours. The occasional visits of U. S.
battleships and bombers appear to arouse
more enthusiasm than good neighbor'
talks. The Nazis, including native pro-
German elements are sWerving several
South American governments directly
into the Axis lineup. The English in
Argentina, confident of Britain's ulti-
mate victory, are desperately seeking to
out-compete the NaZis and are actually
seeking orders for war materials from
the Argentines.
The typical difficulty of the good will
tour is that the visiting guests, after con-
suming many magnums of free cham
pagne and demanding great deal of free
entertainment. then proceed to tell South
Americans what's wrong with their coun-
tries And then there are the American
foreign colonies who bitterly protest
when the Latin American nations alter
their labor laws, freeze their foreign eX-
change, or nationalize their banks-ac
tions, which as sovereign powers, they
have perfect right to take.
Friendly relations among nations of
this hemisphere are essential to the secur-
ity of all. A knowledge of how others
see us, though not always flattering to
our vanity, is good way of finding out
how we can be what we want to be-a

II is nearly 80 years, now, since
American homes have crumbled be-
meath the juggernaut of war, since
American blood shed in battle has
stained American SOL.
True, since 1854 the United States
has had two wars, one fought in
Cuba and at sea. the other in
France and on the sea. Those who
fought in them can testify to their
terrors.
Yet war in the midst of ones
homeland and in the peaceful
streets and lanes of daily life is
more horrible still. The tumbling
flood of European dispatches for
the past two yearS-nay. for the
past 10 years, has numbed our
consciousness of what war means
today
There has been no lack of accurate
and flavorful reporting of today's
war. Yet sometimes a more person
al word comes that lights up a
little sector of the war more vivid
ly
Here is one, just received from a
young Englishman. Too young for
the World War, he was mild and
idealistic, and felt that even Mum
ich was justified in the hope of
avoiding the holocaust that brood
ed over Europe and in his own
gentle soul. But in the hour of
peril at Dunkirk, he volunteered
just the same, and was doing patrol
work in a small craft in English
waters. We've had our share of

ANOTHER KIND OF
SECRET KEEPER

Chairman Walsh is one kind Of secret
keeper. Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes, new car Of the oil industry, is
another. Of the two, Secretary Ickes is
the most dangerous, for he is the type
who believes the people incapable Of run
ming their own business-the business of
government.
The secretary in a verbose announce
ment this week declared that the transfer
or reassignment of oil tankers is mat
ter vital to national defense, and so no
news should be published about such
transactions Of course, most newspa-
pers will respect the secretary's wishes,
because there is chance he is right The
newspapers would rather grant such
request than take chance, even though
it is very slight chance, of endanger-
ing national welfare
At the same time, however, it deserves
notice that Mr. Ickes' censorship, in the
past, has been aimed largely at covering
up Mr.. Ickes' own mistakes. For him,
''the public good means Mr.. Ickes' good.

WASHINGTON, July 23-A major
argument is developing in Wash
ington over the prediction of Don
aid NJ. Nelson, director of pur-
chases in the Office of Production
Management, that before this ef-
fort is over. there will be short
ages of food
If British demands increase. #
Russia destroys her grain fields, #
Europe goes into period of fam
inc and must be fed for several
years by the Americas. then maybe
the prediction might come true.
But no one can see that far ahead.
and in the meantime, all the other
food supply experts are denying
yehemently that there are any
shortages in sight.
What these other food men fear
most is that unwarranted talk Of
shortages may send wholesalers in
to the market to stock up with re-
serves. thereby creating an artificial
food shortage and higher prices.
Extra demands on the U. S. food
supplies have been tremendous. The
total food bill for 1941 has been
estimated at SIS billion. which is
25 per cent or SO billion more than
the food bill for 1910
ARMY GETS THE EGGS
That increase represents not Just
higher prices, but increased quanti-
ties-for the British, for the Army,
for relief and for extra sales just
because payrolls are higher and
consumption greater. Up to a cer-
tain level, the more you make, the
more you eat. Also, the more you
eat out the more it costs you.
You might think the increased
size of the Army and Navy would
mean million or more eaters had
merely been transferred from the
civilian to the military tables but
1t doesn't work out that way. Take
eggs. Army menus call for eggs at
six out of seven breakfasts. or so
per cent more eggs than these
same men would eat if they were
in civilian life. Take salads. Army
menus call for a salad a day with
uncooked vegetables. That's a lot
more salads than you could make
most men eat if they were at home.
Food for Britain and other coun-
tries makes a sizeable extra de-
mand. Up to the last report of

IT'S 4 DISEASE

There is a kind of public official who
goes through life making himself feel
important by pretending To keep secrets
Whenever he feels unusually low IN self
esteem, he pretends to keep secret from
a lot of people. He hunts up news
paper reporter and tells him the secret.
Then he sternly admonishes, But you
can't print that; it would not be for the
public good" Thereafter he goes his way.
with his ego patting him on the back at
every step. After all, has he not kept a
secret from millions Of newspaper read
ers?
There is another kind of public official
who makes himself feel important by
really keeping secrets, because he be-
lieves the public has not enough intel
ligence TO appreciate his intentions. tOr
it may be that he Is afraid the public
does have sufficient intelligence to ap-
preciate his motives.) Having been plac-
ed in office by the suffrance of the peo-
pie. this kind of official Immediately
adopts the theory that he, and he alone,
should know the details of the public
business he is transacting.
Both brands of psychopathic disorders
have fed and grown fat on the national
defense emergency. There are so many
secrets, told and untold, flying around
these days that il would take q panzer-
busting division to ploW successfully
through the smoke screen they create
So many individuals are so filled with
secrets that now and then one pops, and
showers little splinters of secrets with
alarming disregard of the public intel,
ligence.
Such popping was that of Chairman
David E. Walsh Of the Senate Naval At
fairs Committee when he told an open
session of the Senate Tuesday, in the
presence of a iammed visitors gallery.
that there are 400 suspected saboteurs
working in the Mare Island Naval Yards
near San FranciSco-and then asked the
newspaper reporters present please not
to report what he had said, because it was
"confidential.''
Confidential? The saboteurs must
know that they are liable to be punished
if they are caught. They must be as far
undercover already as they can get The
policing agencies must know that they
want to prevent sabotage. Foreign agents
who direct sabotage attempts certainly
know about it. Who is it confidential
from? Just the public? And, if so, why
shout it out before an open session of
the Senate, in an address which will go
into the Congressional Record, and while
foreign agents. communists and anyone
else who is or might be interested, can
listen from the visitors gallery After
all that has been done, it seems a bit silly
to ask the newspapers not to publish the

How many millions of people,

We seem to have to go out Of the coun-
try to get the news about ourselves. This
time the news concerns our understand
ings with Portugal. Joao A Dibianchi,
Portuguese minister, announced in New
York the other day that the United States
has given Portugal assurances it will not
move into the Azores or Cape Verde is
lands
That speech was made days before any
intimation of the arrangements was made
publicly by our own State Department.
But why could it be known to the
Portuguese and not to the people of this
country? If secrecy is so important to
defense that we could not be allowed to
know of the pledge, how can the secrecy
suffer no impairment when the announce
cent is made by foreign visitor? Why
should the strings on the release of the
news be held taut here, while there is no
injunction against their relaxation by
emissaries from other countries?
