UNLESS politics has suddenly

campaign is over-When he
made the suggestion last week
that some sort OF youth train
ing program be instituted after

He did not suggest compul-
sorry military training That
would have been enough of
hot potato TO juggle in politi-
cal campaign season. But at
least, in compulsory military
training a strong case can be
made in support OF IL, and il
would have a lot of supporters.
What he did suggest was an
infinitely hotter potato, which is
wide open to attack on virtually
every side, with almost nothing

THURMAN ARNOLD, Henry
Il Wallace and others in the
government have waged a val
liant campaign against the car
tel which. by definition. is an
international combination in re-
.strsint of trade.
American participants OF such
cartels have been pilloried as
wicked corporations sacrificing
their country for selfish greed.
Those American corporations
which were associated with
German corporations in cartels
were described in language be-
fitting only traitors.
In fact, the fight on cartels
has been so vindictively vocif-
erous that the head of the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
was driven TO an untimely death
by his pursuers.
pUT now-cartels. yes even
- cartels, are being organized
under the aeglS of government
through international negotia-
tons and agreement.
No other Interpretation of the
oil agreement recently signed
IN Washington between i. the
United States and Great Britain
Is possible.
This agreement may or may
not be wise and necessary, but
It is nonetheiess a cartel, ex-
actly the same as IL is Ameri-

resources with a view 10 the
sound economic advancement of
producing countries; recognition
of the principle OF equal oppor-
tunlty IN the acquisition of con-
cesSlons; respect for valid con-
ceSslon contracts, and freeing
the production and distribution
of petroleum from unnecessary
restrictions.
"HIS, in simple English,
Il means that the oil re-
sources OF the world are sub

When in Scotland nothing is too good for you. Moth

Then why did Hess zip into Scotland? If it was TO

question. Why did Hess parachute into Scotland
The Scotch kits kilt is shirt with two tails
They do not pants. But they still have baggy

Why did Hess volpane into the land of thstles

What difference does that make? Like flea in a
