The Long Armistice
(New York Ti,aes)

(New York Tiiaes)
 Two months and day after the armistice that ended the last great war the Supreme Council of the Peace Conference met Paris for it's first session It clear enough now as we look back through
 the troubled years, that this meeting came too Two months was not enough tune to give either the perspective the cool Judgment that was needed to write the terms of enduring peace. The Treaty of Versailles has been subjected much criticism that is unfair or uninforrned or both It was far better treaty than the intellectual faddsm of the Twenties credited it with being But admittedly it had it's particularly in those sections of it dealing with economic questions-and t0 very considerable extent these faults in retrospect be the result of too-hurried approach to the tremendous problem of making permanent" postwar settle ment.
 In the light of this experience one proposal made in the Memorial Day address of Under Secretary of State Weles is of great interest and importance He spoke of the desirability of establishing world organization to decide the final terms peace after the period of social and economic chaos which will come inevitably upon the termration of the present and after the completion of the gigantic task of relief, of reconstruction and of rehabilitation which will confront the United Nations at the time of the armstice." This suggests postwar strategy under which no attempt would be made to write perman- ent peace settlement until considerable period of time-perhaps many months perhaps even several yarshad elapsed after the end of actual hostilities Durg UnlS period the relatloS or the erStWnle Del- ligerents would be governed by the terms of Long Armistce"
 This strategy would have great advantages from both the international and the domestic standponts It would enable the ultimate pcace-makers to gain clearer view of the problems in the fields of national ambitions and economic pressures and overall security before they attempted to draft blueprint for post-war world. At the same time for each nation individually it would greatly simplify and at least partly solve the problem of transition from economy to economy of peace The suggestion made by MT Weles has in it so many possibilities of good that may expect to hear much of it. and, in fact to win it's place among the war objectves not only of the United States but of the United Nations. efstk

ALL VICTIMS ARE TAKEN CARE OF
 IN ALERT ]: DRILL
Ships af Port Should Con finue Loading Dur-
 ing Praetiee

The 20 victims, stretched out around town in theoretic bombing raid during last nights alert, were all picked up by First Aid ambu- lances and taken to the casualty station for treatment, but the lack of enough ambulances made the job slow one, it was reported last night at the Civilian Defense Board meeting.
 The victims were Boy Scouts who were distributed throughout the city by members of the American Legion. The alert lasted approxi- mately 40 minutes and the Fire De- partment took advantage of the cleared streets to make several practice runs and to test little used alarm boxes.
 It was reported that approximately l5 waterproof sand boxes have been built by the city crew under the direction of Bert Lybeck and will be placed on the waterfront and around the city as a precau. tionary measure.
 The Board went on record as rec ommending that during practice alerts, loading and unloading of ships at the dock should continue.

NAZI SOLDIER

WILSON'S LETTER

That unpublished letter Donald Nelson sent members of the Tru- man Committee, in an effort to stop the report that blasted some of his top $l-a-year men. actually was the handiwork of two of Nell sons key aides.
 One was John Lord O'Brian, WIPE general counsel and former cor poration lawyer, who several months ago whitewashed some $1-men as- sailed by the Truman committee. The other was Sidney Weinberg, Wall Street banker and executive assistant to Nelson.
 Before sending the letter to the committee, Nelson summoned top WIPE executives and informed them of his intention to confer person. ally with the committee and tell it what was what.
 I'm going up there tomorrow morning." Nelson said, and put them in their places. They can't push me around. |. I won't stand for these attacks. They are not helping the war effort"
 Nelson went up there" all right, but before he got through he was singing different tune.
 The committee quietly listened to him as he criticized the report and urged the elimination of its caustic strictures against his $1-a-year masterininds.
 Then when Nelson finished, Sen- ator Truman opened up. Ordin- arily the bespectacled Missourian is one of the mildest hammered men on Capitol Hill. But when he does get angry, he gets very angry.

There was a hostile flareup be- tween Willkie and torrid isolation ist Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, which had the other guests on the edge of their chairs for a few tense moments. The incident occurred unexpectedly
 Nye arrived late and apparently in the friendliest of moods. He rushed over and shook hands warm ly with Willkie. Willkie cordially returned the greeting. Neither he nor the other guests were prepared for Yves next move.
 The North Dakotan suddenly re- marked, MT. Willkie, I was very much delighted with that state ment you made the other day"
 What statement do you mean?' asked Willkie.

ed in winning the war as you and your assistants. In our work we give anyone who has any connec- ton with case a fair and full hearing. We have no axes to grind and there is no politics in this com mittee.
 "On several occasions you have taken it upon yourself to infer questionable motives to this com mittee and have kicked me in the teeth. You have not only kicked me but you have kicked the United States Senate in the teeth Now, it may be that am not as big as you are, but the United States Senate is bigger than you are. And you don't want to forget that this con- mittee is a body of the United States Senate and neither you noi anyone else is kicking it or push ing it around"
 Truman's sizzling retort was hotly echoed by Senators Ralph Brewster of Main, Joe Ball of Minnesota tRe- publicanS), and Jim Mead of New York tDemocraD. They vigorously backed up Truman and made il plain that Nelson had no business trying to pressure the committee into whitewashing his $1-a-yeal assistants
 Whereupon Nelson pulled in hi. f horns and began placating the cop. mittee. He said he had no thought of questioning it's integrity and as. sured members he held them 1T the highest esteem. Concluding Nelson asked that he be allowed tt withdraw his letter.
 You can withdraw it if yol want to-" said Truman, but I an going to keep my copy"
 Later, when a colleague asked Truman if he thought Nelson would oust Philip Reed. No. WIPE chief whom the committee singled ou for especially severe condemnation Truman replied, T don't know, bu it seems to be a very simple ques- tion-which Nelson thinks bigger Reed or the United States Senate.
 Note:- Despite Nelsons staunct defense of Reed, WIPE insiders art offering odds that he will soon re. turn to his $100,000 job as chairman of General Electric.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do rot compel"
SATURDAY, JUNE 27

Benefic aspects contend with ad- Bad news may appear in the morn ing newspapers but later good re- verse planetary influences today ports will cheer those who watch war progress.
 HEART AND HOME: Change able weather will interfere with plans for early vacations. The Summer may be exceedingly warm in certain parts of the United States. In far-off lands there will be much suffering in climates in which Americans are not accus- toned. Again astrologers warn of the need of extra sanitary precau- tions in our cities, east and west. Public health officers will render efficient service for the special pro- tecticn of children. Girls should avoid fatigue by keeping early bed time hours.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Return of the planet Uranus May Is to the sign Gemini was long forecast as ominous for all peace-loving na- tions. Uranus requires eighty five years to go around the Sun. In former transits signs of unrest CT rebellion eliminated in war or revo- lution. The year 1922 has been designated as most eVentful in his tory. Finance and trade will re- fleet the revolutionary influences it is forecast but the United States will be able to dictate money poli- cies that will be fortunate for trade and commerce.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Better un- derstanding between labor and capi- tai will be necessary at this time when temporary truces are not sat- isfactory to the people whose fate depends upon the wisdom of lead CTS in the unions and officials m great corporations even more than upon the President of the United States and the Congress. Upon the prevention of excess profits de- pends lasting peace in industry the seers declare, and economists agree with those who read the stars. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS : Hitler will find little comfort in as- trology these days. It is said that the ancient seer Nostradamus pre- dicted the assassination of the Nazi leader. Interpreters of the writings Of the much quoted prophet seem to believe that tn Fuehrer is plainly 1 indicated in certain prognostica- tiofls. Aside from ancient lore the modern seerS read ominous por- tents for Hitler. Extreme privation among the people of Germany and the draining of manpower through immense losses in Russia and else where will affect seriously the loy
 alty of many Nazis
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fairly good luck after serious setbacks. They should be cautious in business deal ings since treachery may be met among trusted employees.

 You could have heard pin drop as the two men eyed one another. For a moment, Willkie made to re- ply to the provocative thrust. Then with a derisive chuckle, he quietly replied:
 "A very pretty witticism, Senator very pretty, indeed. But I guess your wish was father to the thought. You happen to have your facts balled up. I said nothing of the kind What I said was that I would not be candidate for office this year.

MISSING GIRLS FOUND
AFTER NIGHT ON ISLAND

Miss Ivel Mullins, primary
teacher at the Pound School at
Bartlick. and her younger sister
were reported drowned Sunday
night. However, an investigation
and search by citizens proved
that the girls were safe after
spending the night on the river
bank.
According to our information,
the girls crossed by boat over to
a small island in midstream.
Their boat was washed away
and the water was too deep for
wading to either shore of the
river. An early morning search
by citizens resulted in the res
cue of the two young ladies.
Both girls are daughters of
Bruce Mullins county teacher
and prominent Baptist minister.
