dissenSion and piling resentment on top of gratitude Few can doubt that in the end these clashes will be resolved with the establishment of governments in Poland, YugoSlavia, Romania and Bull garia that Russia finds acceptable, and of governments in Belgium, the Neither lands, Italy and Greece that are accept able to Great Britain.
 But what about "the consent of the governed?" Take the example of Italy. All six political parties agreed to the ap- pointment of Count Carlo Sforza as for eign minister But the British did not approve the appointment, apparently be- cause they consider SforZa anti-Badoglio and anti-monarchy So are lot of other Italians, it would seem. Nevertheless, Count Sforza didn't get the job. Polish patriots did not have the strength to drive out the NaziS. But millions of them chose to live and die at the hazardous business of resistance, thus paving the way for liberation. Surely they have earned the right to choose their own governors. Yet Russia has not suggested accepting a coalition cabinet in Poland and adjourning territorial settlement uTl- til freely elected government takes office.
 O1A1y III C1duCG Have t1Ac pdGAAOtS WO4A out And there they needed favorable circumstances and superior leadership to overcome the long opposition of the American and British governments. Ex- cept in France, we have stayed clear of these disputes. Our hands-off policy is probably wise if we would save our great est strength to apply within the frame work of the United Nations organization. But it is also the policy of isolationism. And it may thrive if it appears, once the United Nations begin functioning, that Britain and Russia are deeply committed to continuing the policies of Europe's provisional governments.
 The Atlantic Charter respects "the right of all peoples" to choose their form of government, and presumably its ad- ministrative officers The United Nations organization is based on "the principle of the sovereign equality of all peace-loving states" But political events in Europe seem to be steering toward contradiction of these principles to which the majority of Americans subscribe.

Views Of The Press

times it was outdoors; sometimes 1t was built into a brick arch in the room between kitchen and wood- shed. This big kettle had other uses. It could be used to boil down extra sap in sugar-making time; it helped a man steam oak blanks and tim bers if he needed new stone-boat or runner for his traverse.
 But the kettle that many a man recalls most wildly was the one that hung in the back yard. The set-up was simple: two posts six or eight feet apart, sturdy timber resting on the posts, chain with a hook hanging from the middle of the timber and the kettle handle resting in the chain hook. Each afternoon, when the shadows began to creep across the moving in late autumn, it was a farm lads chore to start a fire beneath the soot- encrusted pot and boil the potatoes, corn and other ingredients that made a tempting, nutritious pail of hogswill. Homely, simple and efi- cient, the iron kettles have played their part well. Farm wives look out the kitchen window at dusk and think how pretty the red and orange flames show against the deepening night and the silhouette of the plump, capacious kettle. Today one often sees a kettle on front lawn. filled with petunias or geraniums. The era of black pots is ending. but they will remain in memory a long time to come.

The Spirit of America

Years ago an American, an English man, and German, visiting an Oriental country, were granted an audience by the local potentate. Addressing the Englishman, he said, T understand that you are a subject of the King of Eng land" The Englishman bowed and re- piled, ''Yes, your Highness, and am very proud of it." Turning to the German, he said, And you are subject of the Kaiser" Clicking his heels and lowing stiffly, the German replied, "Yes, your Highness, and very proud!" Addressing the American, His Highness said, And you are subject of the United States of America" Whereupon the American exclaimed, Subject, hell! own part of the United States of America

An Important Decision

Most people, in order to eat, must work. Therefore, most people, whether they realize it or not, are interested in now Americas great industries will be gov erned after the war. There is definite trend toward all-embracing Federal con- trol in place of the independent manage ment of private citizens. Aside from the point of who most people would rather work for, millions of John Browns - private citizens like themselves -or single alI-powerful boss, the government, there is the further consideration of what is best for the country.
 History has proven that industry run and owned by private citizens Is more productive and more conducive to the national welfare than any government enterprise could ever hope to be. An excellent comparison can be found Ill the American railroads which were oper- ated by the government in the f1rSt Worlo war and are privately managed m the present war. In the words of NatlonS $ Business: To-day the railroads are car irving just about double the daily load of the earlier war - are doing it with one third fewer locomotives, one-tourtn fewer cars and 500,000 fewer men. They are doing it with none of the congestion and delays of that time and are dolng it with their own resources. Moreover, instead of costing the taxpayers nearly S2,OOO ,OOO day, as did government oper- ation of the railroads during the first war, todays operations are paying more than $5 ,00O00O day in taxes"
 Private industry has it's faults. They should be corrected as rapidly as possible. But private industry has it's advantages
 advantages that should swing public opinion in it's favor in the important de- eiSionS to come.

of Americas largest ranch, when this columniSt disclosed that two 12-year old page boys and one Capitol usher were required to kick-back part of their salaries to Kleberg's office)
 The new appropriation also per- mits the payment of $5,000 a year to one clerk, whereas the present salary limit for one individual is $500. This may increase nepo- tism. Many CongreSmen put their wives or relatives on the payroll sometimes with the wife more than earning her salary, but fre- quently with the wife or relative absent from the office most of the time. Mrs. Martin Dies, for instance, wife of the Congressman from Texas, is drawing $500 a year but has not been in Wash ington for perhaps half of the Congressional term. Under the new provision, she gets 5000 only Martin won't be back here any more.
 However, with Congressional salaries low and living expenses up, this sort of nepOtism some times is almost essential if 8

 NOTE: Economy-minded Con- gressman Jack Cochran, chairman of the House Accounts Committee, is supporting this new provision for increasing the allowance for Congressional clerk hire. It is also being supported by the lead- CTS of both parties. Cochran planned his strategy in consulta- tion with Speaker Sam Rayburn and Republican leader Joe Mar tin after the provision had been proposed by Rep. Leo Allen of Illinois, ranking Republican on the Accounts Committee.

Contradiction

The temper of America is away from isolationism, as the result of the Novem- Der ' elections proved. Our European Allies had right to rejoice in that result, since it was as much to their interest as to ours. But now the political aftermath of liberation in Europe almost makes 1t seem as if these same Allies were invit- ing us to return to cynical, isolationist frame of mind. Certainly the role Of liherator is a delicate and difficult one. old discontents could not be forgotten in countries where the end of Nazi domina- ton meant the chance to start over with a clear political slate. Nor could liber- ating forces avoid the task of maintain lne osder until a stable, popularity accept able government could be established. xet t1e task is being complicated by Alashes Of deslres between the llberatlng

Selected Poem
TO A CANARY

Stanton A. Coblentz, in The New York Times) Perched in your swinging golden cage
 Within sunlit room, Do you recall your heritage
 Of glade and forest gloom? IN thsl live-yelow sprightly head,
 Cooked with a puckish twist What shadows flit of pnions spread
 In woodlands vaguely missed? But "Cheep cheep, cheepl" is all you say; Those dot-like sparks your eyes Regard me brightly, yet betray
 No dream of alien skies. You are more cheerful Cor more sage) Than We of lordlier birth, Perched in this swinging, golden cage.

Wallace in Wonderland

Vice-President Henry Wallace'S recent speech criticizing the publishers of Amer ica had us completely bewildered since the first U. P. report we read in The Democrat few days ago, but we have clarified it's context-by the simple eX- pedient of turning to copy of AIce-1n- Wonderland.
 For example, Wallace urges the pub fishers to attempt to learn "the algebra of the circuit flow of money. Now that may be baffling at first, but if you turn to Alice's conversation with Humpty- Dumpty when the latter translates the poem for our heroine you readily under stand what he means.
 Remember that poem? The first few lines went along like this:
 Twas brillig, and the Sl1thy toveS
 Did eyre and gimble in the wabe:"
 Now refer back to the algebra of the circuit flow of money" and everything becomes clarified.
 MT. Wallace then admonishes the pub fishers for failure to "realize the deep underlying forces which are remorselessly pushing the world ahead".
 We exposed that last one to X-rayS, Niolet-rays, acid tests and the like and couldn't penetrate it's hide. Its accusing accent, however, recalls to mind the Queen in Wonderland who at the trial said, "Lets not make sense-bring in the sentence first-the verdict afterward."
 Henry then concluded by stating that the American publishers - "do not realize that the American revolution, the Christian religion and modern science, have combined to let the genie of world revolution out of the bottle. The old fashioned reactionarieS think they can lure the genie back into the bottle again and put in the cork of normalcy."
 Well, that one stopped us cold. Our only consolation is to be found in the similarity of the words of Humpty- Dunpty-to wit:
 'sWhen I use a word-or expression it means just what choose it to mean neither more nor less"

WHAT THE FARMER IS BUYING
;. Christian Science MOnitOr)


 Surveys Of real estate transac- tions in Americas agricultural areas since Pearl Harbor reveal that the bulk of farm buying has been done by those who already own farms. Does this imply thatt he farmers are making the same mistake that they did at the end of the first World War?
 The answer is reaSsurlng 'No". The farmer is acutely aware that the family size farm is shrinking not in actual acres, but in the hours required to operate it efficiently In an earlier day, the farm of av- craze size required the full-time services of the owner, his sons, and a hired man. During 1943 and 1944, the farmer, deprived by war of these aids, and relying largely on thet ractor and combine, man. aged to plant and harvest (with the aid of volunteer help) record-break- ing crops.
 Realizing that the time has passed when he and his boys need devote their entire energies to single farm, the husbandman has begun to acquire new acres. In mary in- stances these purchases are with an eye to maturing sons. or fol soldiers overseas. The land he is buying is within easy driving distances of his farmstead. Suitcase farming" is definitely out of the picture. And today's farms are being purchased at prices that assure a reasonable return on the investment. As many successful business man has done, the farmer is "enlarging his store"

 FOR CONGRESS
 The deficiency bill before the House of Representatives carries an innocent looking provision for increasing the Congressional all lowance for clerk hire from $6,- 800 per year to $9,500.
 This is an indirect method of giving a slight salary expense lift to CongresSmen.
 Actually, Government experts outside of Congress long have O41dV NOAAeS4 CooAOA4eA4 salaries are too low. With the cost of living up. with campaign expenses increased, and with other wages throughout the coun- try upped, Congressional salaries remain stationary. Few congress- men can live and support fam fly on what they get from Uncle Sam alone.
 But you can hardly find one scared legislator willing to whis- per about a salary boost, in view of the furOre which broke forth throughout the country several years ago when pension for Congressman was voted.
 That is the reason for the in creased appropriation for clerk hire. Actually, though the boost is deserved, it will probably mean more nepotism or more salary kick-backs from clerks. (Kick- backs were what defeated Con- grcssman Kleberg of Texas, owner

OLD IRON KETTLES
(eNew York Times)

The old soot-covered kettles are still in use on many farms. They are not so common today as a genera tion ago, when almost every farm had It's kettle for boiling the small potatoes for the pigs. Or perhaps the farmer had e favorite formula for combining cooked corn meal, turnipS and carrots for those last few weeks before butchering time.
 Tn long ago days there were out- door kettles for soap making, clothes-washing. hogswill and apple butter.

put now IL seems uKely 10 come 70 a definite head some time during the next Congress.
 One thing which has renewed talk of a probe is the British proposal to use some Lend-Lease goods for re-eXport in order to build up British trade. This was discussed by Lord Keynes when he was in Washington to renew the Lend-LeaSe agreement.
 Another factor disturbing Con- greSS is the reported misuse of Lend-Lease goods in various areas. Authentic reports have come back regarding Italian work battalions employed by the British to remove American trademarks from goods and apply British trademarks be- fore they are distributed in Italy.
 Still another report reaching the State Department involves a request from the Iraq govern ment for 100 trucks and trac- tors. Because of American mili- tary shortages, the request was refused. WhereupOn U. s. Of- ficiaIS were amazed to find that Iraq got the trucks and tractors from the British. The British had lend-leased them from the United States, then .magnani- mOusIy turned them over to the Iraq government at our ex- pense and for their own diplO- matic benefit.
 The U. S. orlcial who has writ ten the most Scathing reports on British misuse of Lend-Lease is Mai. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, neW- ly appointed Ambassador to China. Strongly seconding him is James Landis, U. s. economic minister to the Near East.
 SOMETHING IN RETURN
 There is a growing feeling that, with the American army new bear ing the brunt of the fighting. the pressing need for Lend-Lease to both England and Russia is dinl- finishing and that, before we turn over Lend-Lease goods for Brl- tish re-export, we should get something in return-such as a pledge that Britain will revise its policies in Greco, Italy, Belgium and Ethiopia, where British inn perialiSm has kept those countries in political ferment.
 While the United States is not directly interested in the politics of Greece, Italy and Bel gium, it is an unfortunate fact that we are getting part of the blame for British pOlicy-because United States arms and Lend Lease munitions are used by the British in these areas,
 NOTE: Congressional investiga- tors want especially to probe cer- tain letters written by Secretary of State Ed StettiniuS when he was Lend-Lease Administrator, reportedly taking the platinum hair down and giving his shirt away to the British.
