CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HEALTH

Wartime America hos been lucky in the matter
of health but its good luck is no accident Health
thorites have been vieiIont and active. Many phys
clans have done the normal work Of two three
men. Government food and price control, however
much criticized, has kept within reach Of all food
supply normal in quontity and nutrient value, and
only slightly curtoed in variety and quality.
But our health authorities must continue to be
vieIont and industrious, and the country must con-
tnue to give them its support wherever possible One
opportunity for such support is found in the 18th
nuo Christmas Seal Sole Of the National Tubercu-
Iosis Association.
The association may toke share Of credit for
the foot thot our tuberculosis deoth rote declined
slightly in the psf year. But other less encouraging
figures reveal that the death rote rose in z indus
tro states This rise is due TO such factors crowd
ed or poor housing, long hours Of hard work. and in
sufficient rest.
To connbot the rise, the Association cooperotes
with public and private health agencies, maintains
clinics and public health nursing and consulting
services and carries rehabilitation work ond mass
industrial x-royne. This lost activity is doing much
to discover unsuspected tuberculosis in the early,
readily eurobIe stoee
The National tuberculosis Association is finonc-
ed solely by its sole Of Christmas Seos And the
should not make forget that modest contri-
buttons still needed in the conquest Of disease
thot hos taken more American lives since Peor Hor-
Dor thor hove been lost in bottle.

SOVIET FOREIGN POLICY

The Soviet Unions six-pont statement Of foreign
policy issued in this country by the Soviet Embassy
is welcome and enIiehtenine document 1t rules
out differences Of political system deterrent to
cooperation and friendly relations with another no.
ton. and makes love Of freedom and peace their
prime requisite 1t further renounces inPeroIIsc eH
nonsio1 by the Soviet government at the expense OF
any other nation.
BUT most Americans will probably find greatest
interest in the officially announced principle Of non-
intervention in the internal affairs Of other sotes
This reoffirms the honds-otf policy implicit in the
Cominterns dissolution and, for all apparent Pur-
poses, lays the persistent ghost Of Soviet govern
ment-sponsored world revolution.
These principles of foreign policy issued over
the Signature Of Col. A. Calm, who identifies them
as the program which the Soviet Union hos consist
emily followed throughout its existence.
We may conclude then, that frequent similarity
between the thoughts and actions Of the Communist
Parties in the United Soes and Soviet Russia is not
to be construed as an alliance between the American
Communists and the Soviet government, Of which
the Russian Communist Party is the dominant poIit-
cal body.
We may also conclude that those who before the
recent elections attacked critics Of American Conn.,
munists as persons bent alternating our Russon
oily we're nor completely in1onmeo Tor IL IS Ceo' w
the light Of the Soviet foreign policy statement that
these critics were no more likely to inure Russo
American relations than the authors Of articles
in the official Soviet poper lzvestio which criticized
American Republicans
Some may say that these six principles have been
controdicted by the Soviet Union in its 27yeor his
tory and thot the Russian definition Of such terms
as imperialism" or "non-inteVention" do not COIN
eide always with ours And Others may answer that
few governments can point to history free Of con-
traditions between principle and action, can soy
that immediate aim has never dictated policy.
The point is that the Soviet government hos pub
Iished considered statement Of admirable policies,
and has thus invited its Allies and the world to judge
its future octnns In accordance With them

The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1944-11-30
BY PETER EDISON

The principles of the United
Nations organization agreed to
by representatives of the United
States, Great Britain, Soviet
Russia, and China meeting at
Dumbarton Oaks are set forth in
Chapter III of the proposals for
a United Nations charter.
The first principle is that all
peace loving states should have
sovereign equality-equality in
the CONDUCT of their own affairs
and equality as members of an
organization charged with keep
ing world peace.
This does not mean that every
nation would assume equal re-
sponsibility in enforcing peace,
nor an equal share Of the cost in
men or money, since some ma
tons are obviously richer and
bigger than others.
The specific obligations which
each nation would be expected
TO assume are not spelled out in
detail in the proposed charter.
That is one Of the phases Of or
ganization left to be worked out
in special agreements, thus keep
ing the charter free from being
ciuttered up with too many tight
limitations which might restrict
its activities.
In general, however, nations
agreeing to United Nations
charter would bind themselves
to settle their disputes with other
nations by peaceful means and
to refrain from threat or use of
force in settling international re-
lationS.
INTERNAL AFFAIRS
WOULDN'T BE POLICED
An important point here Is
that the nation would be re-
strained from using force in its
relations with other nations
only-not in policing internal
affairs. If a "home rule move

upright.
Evening star., 1944-02-27

well pruned mock-orange has large
flowers from base to tip of branches.
while one that has been neglected
soon becomes bare-legged with small
flowers. The pruning of grapes is
especially interesting in that we
regulate the amount of fruiting
wood by pruning. The side shoots
are cut back to one or two buds
and even these should be restricted
so that there are not more than
sixty 600 on a moderately strong
vine. Similarly we prune our roses
to the number of buds that the roots
can support. If we want six strong
canes the bush is cut back to six
buds. If a dozen are desired the
plant is not cut back quite so
severely.
Fruit tree pruning should prevent
weak limbs dorks); keep the center
Of the tree open to admit light
and air; reduce the number Of fruit
buds (on peaches and grapes); and
keep the tree compact and strong.
Allowing suckers to develop Is to
take the strength from the fruiting
buds. A tree that has the center
covered by a canopy Of branches
and leaves does not bear fruit ex-
cept at the tips of the branches
and has more difficulty with dis
ease

in the spring.
Pruning has three objectives
/. Maintaining health and vigor
2. Keeping the plants within bounds
and 3. Encouraging the formation
of flowers and fruit.
To maintain health and vigor OF
shrubs and roses We remove q few
Of the older canes each year, clear
ing the way for the formation OF
new canes. These canes are free
from infestations Of insects and dis
eases, while the older ones are likely
to be infested. Old canes bear their
flowers and fruits at the tops, leav-
ing the base bare and unsightly. Old
canes tend to deteriorate. Unpruned
bushes produce too many flowers
and fruits, hence the quality Is not
as good as on pruned bushes, especi-
ally where the Towering wood Il
restricted to that which the roots
can maintain.
Keeping the plants within bounds
through pruning is to keep the yard
and garden neat and trim. Un.
pruned shrubs often look wild
Pruning keeps the branches out o,
the way Of pedestrians and vehicles
Roses that are not pruned and KEEP
tied up may produce beautiful
flowers but their thorns can pro
duce nasty scratches. Many shrubs
such as the arbor-vitae, soon be
come open and noppy unless givel
an annual pruning. Forsythia, Will
1t is ordinarily pruned after flower
ing. needs this annual care to keel
1t from occupying more than it
share Of the shrub border.
Pruning to encourage flowers ant
fruits Is generally practiced OF
grapes and fruit trees rather tina,
on Towering shrubs. However, /,

says:
Now that the buds are beginning
to swell on the maple trees, gard
enerS should watch and be ready
to take advantage Of every op-
portunity to prepare their land for
planting. When the ground Is just
moist enough to hold its shape
when squeezed In the hand but
will still crumble easily' when
pressed with the thumb, 1t is in
proper condition to be turned over.
II wetter than this, turning 1t will
do more harm than good. but drier
will still be all right.
BY turning over q small portion
OF the garden at time and plant
ing that before proceeding further
the task Of spading the garden is
made much easier. Much better re-
suits are also obtained II very small
quantities OF earth are turned each
time rather than turning large
chunks. BY starting right away to
prepare the garden enough space
will be ready for the planting OF
those things which are planted In
this area around the 1st to 18th of
March. These include cabbage, kale
lettuce, onions (sets), peas, radishes
spinach and turnips. The arrange
ment Of crops in the garden should
follow a well-thought-out plan, 50
arranged that when these early ones
are harvested other vegetables can
be put in the space.
The importance of q we'll
organized plan cannot be too
strongly stressed. Good planning
is as important as any other phase
