on Sunday morning, October 31st
at Cleaves Temple. He left the
first of the week, after filling the
pulpit here for five years, to take
up duties as pastor of an CINE.
Church in Nashville, Tennessee.
He preached a rousing sermon
that caused many eyes to become
dimmed with tears. For without
a doubt. Reverend Story is the
most beloved minister who has
graced Cleaves Temples pulpit in
recent years, if not since it's found

Two Major Issues Of

Philadelphia, Nov. 4 amp Cor

Congress Of Industrial Organizat-
ions will have before it at last two
important questions which spacf-

At least one Of these Will meet
with a fight, possibly on the floor
OF the convention.
The first Of these viii BE- tn
question Of whether or not the Go
wants to continue the work Of its
National Committee TO Abolish Dis

ton calling for the establishment
Of a permanent Fair Employment
Practice Committee TO cope with
industrial discrimination.
The anti-discriinat4on committee
was established last November
when the organization met III Bos

Price Readjustment Urged
To Favor Milk Production.

To the Editor of The Star:
A situation that demands immediate
correction but that the authorities seem
determined to ignore, has developed in
the Nations food supply.
On the one hand, the supply Of milk
products is already inadequate and Ger
tain to decrease further. On the other
hand, SO many hogs are arriving at the
main marketing and processing points
that it is almost impossible to dispose
OF them properly. 1t is a matter of price
relations. The determining factor at
present in both milk and hog production
Is the feed supply on which both draw.
At current prices for milk and hogs, hog
raisers have an overwhelming advantage
In the bidding for that supply. The
authorities are attempting to remedy
this situation by making supplementary
payments to milk producers. But simply
enabling milk producers to pay more for
feed will not increase the total feed sup
ply for this winter 1t can only tend to
push feed prices higher.
The real solution seems to be in a
readjustment of prices so that less feed
will go to pork production, which obvi-
ously is excessive just now, and more to
milk production. Such readjustment,
however, appears not to be in the plans
OF the food administrators, who have
declared their intention to maintain the
present price level on hogs without re-
quiring any adjustment in production.

OF things when they hung their coats
up each night.
We let Badoglio do it. But at this
very moment We have a similar situ-
alton in Yugoslavia, where there are
both regular and irregular forces, the
regulars under Mikhailovich and the
lrregulars, or Partisans, under Tito. The
lrregulars have been doing much better
tnan the regulars. This is not merely
my own opinion. I take it from Great
Britaln's minister Of state, Richard K.
Law, who announced last week that
the British were giving more support to
the PartlSanS than to the Chetniks
for the simple reason that the resist
ance OF the Partisan forces to the
Germans Is very much greater"
Well If Mikhailovich had had his
own way he would have put the Par
tis2ns down long ago. He tried hard
enIr h. If We do not let him suppress
spontaneous movements for national
independence in Yugoslavia, why do we
let Badoglo do it in Italy? Our admira-
ton for the f1are-up of genuine spon-
taneous liberation movements some
times seems to increase in direct pro-
portion to our distance from them.
Almost all observers now agree that
Badoglio is doing his best to turn the
Italian war effort into a demonstra ton
for the King. We have even taken
Prince Umberto on a well-publicized
observation flight over the German
lines giving the facts ecstatically to the
press, as II it were somehow noteworthy

without special notice. We are hmm
ming a kind of wordless tune in behalf
OF Fascisms leftovers and decrepit
relics in Italy
All this is defended on the cro,,rd
that We have to have unity in fighting
the war Indeed We do. IF We arc
willing to work with Communists in
Yugoslavia, as some of the Partisans
undoubtedly are, We should be willing
TO work with monarchists in Jtalv
Ihat is true. too But the crv for unity
is too often twisted into the slogan that
anything goes.
Mihailovich requested the Partisans
to take drop-dead pills two wears aoo
under the slogan of unity, If thew had
zone so We would be without their
valuable aid today. The search for
unity Is the search not for the least
common denominator, which in Italv
would be Victor Emmanuel. but for the
largest common denominator which
would be government of all italian
parties, plus a regency for the kings
grandson. Italy's liberals have sval-
lowed their antimonarchism sufficiently
to make this proposal.
They want big unity. not little ,,nitv.
certainly not the unity of chuckling
general putting House of Savoy stickerS
on the shoulders of antimonarchist
democrats

enough for all to enter So far in Ita1v
we are keeping almost everybody but

Eden's S Report

The British parliamentary system
requires cabinet ministers to report
any important action of the govern
ment in office to the House of Com
mons at the earliest practicable
moment, this report being followed
by debate and question period. In
the absence of Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill, who is still engaged
in diplomatic activities of an un-
specified character abroad, Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden made
lengthy address to the House, cover
ing all three recent conferences and
dealing besides with other aspects
Of British foreign policy.
Mr.. Eden disclosed nothing that
was really new and kept strictly
within the limits of official COM
muniques already issued However,
a comprehensive survey by the only
participant at the Cairo and Tehe-
ran conferences who has as yet
spoken publicly on those vital mat
ters puts them in due perspective
and thus clarifies our understanding
of their reciprocal significance. Mr..
Eden stated that, while political and
postwar issues were raised and dis
cussed at all the conferences, they
were primarily concerned with the
war, and he confidently asserted
that, as a result of those meetings,
the war would be shortened and ul-
innate victory speedq
Like his chief, Mr.. Churchill, the
Foreign Secretary's attitude was re-
strained and balanced When his
statement that he bore a message
of good cheer" evoked applause, he
cautioned his enthusiastic hearers
against "easy optimism" because the
very magnitude of the plans con-
certed to beat the enemy will call
for immense effort. For this
effort we shall need all our strength,
all our courage and all our unity
in greater measure than ever
before" And he pointed out that
the same is true of the tremendous
problems of postwar reconstruction.
Victory" he declared, is merely
"the means to an end" which is
lasting peace
To Americans, as to Australians
and New Zealanders, perhaps the
most assuring note was that struck
regarding Britain's determination
to do its full share in the war
against Japan. His uncompromising
words do much to explain the decla-

government, held a plebiscite and In
yited George to come back from exile
in India.
Soon after his return relationships
became the fashion in Europe. There
were big and little dictators. There
were official and unofficial dictators.
Being the scion Of an ancient reigning
family, George had no dictatorial incli-
nations. But to maintain himself on the
throne he allowed his Prir e Minister,
Gen. John Metaxas, to play little Hit
Ter" in Greece. Gen. Metaxas took the
role quite successfully. He had con-
centration camps and purges and every
thing that goes with the job. The war
caught both leaders. Gen. Metaxas
and George took the road to London
and from there to Cairo to be close to
his people.
The British government informed him
gently that Judging from reports from
Greece his loyal subjects did not want
him any more. 1t is difficult to conceive
that George Is broken-hearted over the
tip. He has been a monarch in exile be-
fore, just as his father He is ready to
become an "ex" again. But he is said to
have yearning to live in the relatively
quiet atmosphere of the United States
than to go back to India, where the
happy living-for distinguished foreign
ers-is no longer in order. He hopes the
American Government will not turn him
down when he requests an immigration
visa although he, too, like his former
brother-in-law, former King Carol of
Rumania, is divorced from his wife,
Carols sister.
\
King Peter OF Yugoslavia has not yet
been told definitely that he had better
give up his throne and 1t is likely that
he would take such a suggestion the
hard way. His country has never been
republic and his dynasty was estab-
lished in Serbia IA years ago by sheep
