Look Before We Leap
Washington Post)

Washington POST
We have a twofold national interest in the post
war disposition of the worlds oil reserves. On the
one hand an adequate supply of oil for own
own needs is vital to our security On the other
hand, it is less vital to security to keep oil
from becoming international bone OF contention.
other nations will also desire to oil Peace is
likely to be maintained among them only if the avail
able supply is distributed on equitable basis.
No one has had more lively awareness OF this
latter fact than own petroleum manager, Harold
Ickes Tell the sort of agreement that the United
Nations will reach with respect to the worlds petrol
cum resources when the is over" he wrote not
long ago, "and / will undertake to analyze the
durability of the peace that is to come Yet Mr. Ickes
is the leading prepayment of pipe line to be built from
the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean by the Gov
eminent of the United States-in advance of any
agreement at all among the United Nations Our
Government, indeed, has not even made up its mind
as to the kind of agreement among the United Ma
tons it would like to reached. 1t is eager to
embark upon program before it has taken the time
or trouble to frame policy.
The Senate fortunately, has decided to put first
things first and figure out where are going before
we start way. 1t gave unanimous approval
recently to resolution establishing committee to
study the Arabian pipeline scheme and to draft a
national policy for the conservation of oil resources
We can no longer afford procrastination The COM
mttee ought to get down to business and reach
decisions as speedily as possible For naction has its
dangers, too When policy has been determined, 1t
should be entrusted for augmentation first to the
Department of State. The negotiation OF an inter-
national agreement oil is diplomatic task. Once
this has been accomplished the time may be ripe for
the construction of pipe lines across the far places
of the earth. 1t will scarcely serve our safety to
engage in a reckless scramble for control OF the
worlds oil supply. That course has never been
conducive to peace AS alternative the principles
of the Atlantic Charter deserve at least reasonable
trial

BARKLEY,s BLARNEY

At the recent Congressional din
ner at the Press Club, Senator Al
ben Barley got the big hand OF
the evening. He responded by
mimicking the Presidents proven
bial opening remarks.

Then he told the story of Grover
Cleveland letting tax bill become
law without his signature, at about
which time Mrs. Cleveland woke up
in the middle of the night and
thought she heard burglars in the
house.
Not in the House, dear replied
Cleveland. I'm the Senate"
Best speech Senator Barley ever
made, however, was at birthday
party given him by Mrs. Edward T
Stotesbury, mother OF Jimmy Crom-
well and of the former Mrs. Doug

though over eighty, is one of the
most beautiful dowagers in Wash

WAR AGAINST OPIUM

If the resolution recently introduced into Congress
by Representative Judd passed and acted upon the
end of World War II may also mark the end of the
illicit opium traffic Pointing to the fact that for the
first time in the 40-year fight waged against opium
by the United States the British and Dutch govern
have agreed to abolish monopoies in their Far
Eastern territories, they freed from Japan,
Congressman Judd persuasively argues that the time
ripe for expanding international controls Since
the root of the evil lies in the plant itself controls,
to be really effective, must be established in the
remaining poppy growing countries.
Among these countries prewar China had virtually
eliminated illegal opium cultivation and will pre-

of Japan There remain, however, the countries of

Christians Missions
In Africa Featured
By Sabbath School

How Christian missions in Africa
during the past half century have
changed hundreds of devil worship
ping communities into centers OF
cleanliness, peace, and religion, was
featured last Saturday in the
Seventh-Day Adventist S b b t h
School.
Instead of being tortured by the
witch doctor, the people, afflicted
with all kinds of tropical diseases,
now receive scientific treatment
from missionary doctors and nurses.
Churches are filled with worship
pers and thousands gather at their
annual religious district meetings.
Children and youth are given
Christian education, taught useful
trades, and trained as practical mis-
sionaries to teach other tribes a
better way of life.

TURKISH PERSECUTION

U. S. diplomats in Turkey have
been carefully shutting their eyes
to persecution scandal as bad as
if not worse than anything which
exists in Nazi Germany. 1t is the
system of gradually taxing Jews,
Armenians and Greeks out of Tur-
key and sending them to the rock
piles near the Russian border. The
process is simpler but just as harsh
as Hitlerian methods.
To illustrate. an Armenian steno-
grapher working In an American
Government office in Istanbul was
taxed $500 compared with a tax of
81 or So against a Turkish girl
doing the same job in the same
office. The Armenian found it i'm
possible to pay, was imprisoned,
then sent to northeast Turkey.
If she had appealed, she would
have been thrown into jail quicker.
In fact, there is no appeal Nor is
there any way of ascertaining the
basis on which Turkish taxes are
levied. Apparently each tax assess
mept is fixed high enough SO that
individual Greeks, Armenians and
Jews win not be ably to pay, hence
be banished from Turkey.
Yet, until recently, American
lend-lease poured into Turkey to
support a government capable OF
such persecution.

Maryland Oyster
Supply Depends on
Prices, Expert Says
Fishermen Expected
To Meet Demond
If Return Is Good
By the Associated Press.

MECHANICSVILLE, Nd, Sept. I
Allan Sellers, member of the State
Tidewater Fisheries Commission, de-
clared yesterday that Maryland's
oyster supply for the 1944-5 season
would depend largely on the retail
price.
He explained that the abnormal
prices last year resulted in q much
higher production than was antici-
pated at the beginning of the season
What happened" he said, was
simply that when it was found that
oysters were bringing good prices, a
lot of people who hadn't oystered
before. or not for some years, went
into the business, in most cases with
good returns"
Mr.. Sellers said that the same
situation was true this year.
If the price Is good, chances are
that enough people will engage in
oystering to bring Maryland produc-
ton much closer to the demand than
1t would otherwise be-"
The commissioner said that more
than 100000 bushels were planted
from the western bank Of the Wi
comico alone and that q pretty
good supply" was expected from the
tributaries OF the Potomac, where
the catch was heavy a few seasons
Nago Other areas where prospects,
were good, he reported, were the
