OLD-TIME PRICE CEILING
Riverside Daily Press)

1t was rather surprising and most en-
couraging to learn that in recent poll
of automobile owners, 76 per cent of those
questioned said they would not buy new
car if postwar prices were 25 to 80 per
cent above the peacetime level
After repeated predictions by econom-
lists and others, lot of us had taken it
for granted that the release of wartime
savings would start buying spree that
would exceed healthy bounds and make
price control necessary for long time
after the fighting had stopped.

COLORADO RIVER WATER
TREATY AND FINAL TEST

Action of the Senate Foreign Affairs
Committee in its recommendation that the
Colorado River water treaty be ratified
comes as no great surprise. Neither does
the statement issued by Senator Tom
Connally, Texas, committee chairman in
his statement after the vote of Is to
was announced.
Said the Texan: ''It is of tremendous
value to the people of the Rio Grande
Valley"
And a summary of Connally's attitude
during the entire hearing on the treaty
we'll could be taken to mean that the
chairman in another breath as we'll said:
"And a defeat for California"
Not a small part of the support OF the
treaty stemmed around the water Mexl-
co will release TO Texas from the Rio
Grande And so Connally is entitled to
boast about the benefit to Texas-at the
expense of the Colorado water users.
One of the most unfair as well as un-
fortunate circumstances surrounding the
treaty hearing, and one the proponents
used to the limit, was the convening OF
the Inter-American parley at Mexico.
Time and again Connally injected this
into the hearing saying once that 1t would
'ruin the influence and standing of the
United States at that parley if he, Con-
nally, had to walk into the Mexico City
meeting and admit that his country would
be unfair to sister Republic" and so
on.
The proposed treaty should be talr
enough to stand on its own, and lntroduc-
tion of such far-fetched notions into the
hearing served only to show that the
state department never had taken INTO
consideration the actual far-reaching ef-
of
water from the river will have on the
lower basin states.
A well-oiled propaganda machine was
evident during the hearing, and nothing
was left unsaid that tended to suggest
that California alone would benefit IN
defeat of the treaty.
Said one propaganda, who probably
never has set foot outside the capital or
Atlantic seaboard areas:
california doesn't contribute drop
of water to the Colorado"
IJnfairness of such statements is en-
phasized when it is fact that Mexico
contributes nothing to the river the SEN
ators now would give over to that coun-
try.
Il is to be deplored that the whole mat
ter came to be fight on a single state,
even if that state is one of the major ben
eficiaries of the river.
The real issue was buried by the gov
ernment. And that is how far can and
will the federal government go in inter-
fering with rights belonging to states and
in ignoring contracts the government it
self makes with states, and surrendering
rights to alien countries.
If the treaty is ratified, time will re-
veal the mischief done, and then it will
he too late.

Attempt Bombing West
U.5.by free" Balloons

WASHINGTON, May % = The
War and Navy Departments re-
ported today that the japanese
have been making a fantastic eff
fort" to bomb the western U. S.
mainland with free" balloons.
The long range balloons, made of
paper and carrying small bombs,
are unnamed. Some of them are
known to have landed or dropped
explosives in isolated sections but
there has been no d a m a &c to
property, the joint statement said.
This was the first time that the
public generally had been told OF
the balloon attacks, although they
were known to many newspaper
men and others.
The joint statement said the dis
closure was being made so that a
public safety campaign could be
undertaken to prevent possible
damage or injury from the balloons.
There is always possibility, the
statement said, that unexploded
bombs may be found in isolated
spots, concealed in wooded areas
or buried beneath melting snow.

With, the approach of warm
weather and the end of the school
season, the statement added, lit
is desirable that people and es-
pecially children living west of the
Mississippi River be warned of this
possible hazard and cautioned under
no circumstances to touch or APP
proach any unfamiliar object"
The Army and Navy said they
wanted to reassure the nation that
the balloon attacks are so scat
tered and aimless that they do not
constitute a military threat.
The balloons, which carry a few
small bombs, were described as
being of gray, white or greenish-
blue paper and about SO feet in
diameter. The main purpose of the
bombs, it was said, is believed to be
to set brush and forest fires. The
balloons are unnamed and can
not be controlled by the enemy.
However, the two services warned
that the bombs are dangerous and
should not be touched by anyone
who is not familiar with them.

Trieste
Trouble

Marsh al Tito Executes
Abouf-faee Toward
Occupation Of Port

LONDON, May % Yugoslayia's
Marshal Tito appeared today to
have executed complete about
face in his attitude toward the
occupation of Trieste and the sur
rounding area, giving rise to specu-
lation in London that he might
have received friendly suggestion
from Moscow to change his stand.
Diplomatic sources close to the
British Foreign Office said the
situation was definitely improved
and there were indications of an
early solution.
Tito was withdrawing his Parti-
san forces from southern Austria,
one of the points of dispute, and
Yugoslav occupation headquarters
had been removed from Trieste,
although both British and Partisan
troops remained in the Adriatic
port.
To Discuss Status
There were indications of Tito's
apparent readiness to discuss with
Italy a long-term status of the
disputed territory and with the
Allies the present status of occupa-
ton. Sources close to the British
Foreign office believed the matter
of immediate occupation would be
settled through diplomatic chan
nels, rather than through direct
talks with Field Marshal Sir Harold
Alexander, Allied Mediterranean
commander.
It was believed in London that
the Yugoslavs we're prepared to
agree to a peaceful but temporary
settlement of the dispute and would
press their territorial claims at the
peace conference.
No Annexation
This was borne out by Bel
grade broadcast of an editorial
which appeared in the Communist
Daily Borba, published in the Yugo-
slav capital. The paper declared the
Yugoslav Government had stressed
that it does not intend to annex
these territories unilaterally before
peace conference that will finally
settle the question of the Slovene
coast line and Trieste, lie. before
the possibility of a direct agree
ment between Italy and Yugo-
slavia.
The editorial added that for
these reasons, Yugoslavia is pre-
pared to discuss the situation
so as to find. in agreement with
the Allies solution that will sat-
isfy both parties and will not be
contrary to the interests of the
population of these territories"

BRITAIN IS
TO ELECT In
COMING JULY
Coalition Government Ends
Parliament Now 10
Be Dissolved
BY James F. King
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondent


LONDON, May 22-Prime Minis
ter Churchill, faced by the Labor
Partys decision to withdraw from
his Coalition Government, was ex-
pected today to ask King George
VI to dissolve Parliament and
thereby precipitate Britain's first
general election in 10 years.
Political circles predicted that
Parliament would be given about
three weeks to wind up its affairs
and that the election would be
fixed for July 5-provided Churchill
acts by Thursday. If he delays until
May 80, the alternate date for the
election probably will be July IL.
The developments brought from
the London press-which has been
urging an early big Three" con-
ference to settle the Polish issue
and other European problems-the
assertion that such meetisg now
is out of the question until late
July or August.
While Churchill would name an
interim "caretaker" Government
pending the election, British edi-
torial writer's expressed belief it
would not carry the full weight OF
authority necessary at an interna-
tional conference.
Termination of the Coalition
which was formed in
the dark days of 1910 when the
Germans were rolling the British
Army back toward Dunkerque-
became certainty yesterday when
/ 100 delegates to the Labor Party
convention refused to sanction fur
ther labor participation.
Are you in favor of our ministers
remaining in the Government until
the end of the war with Japan?
the chairman asked the delegates
Only two hands went up.
Labor Party leaders previously
had demanded a general election
next fall and had rejected Chur-
chill's proposal for "Yes-or-No'
referendum on whether the present
Parliament should be prolonged.
The decision promised prompt
withdrawal of Labor Ministers from
the Churchill Government to pre-
pare for the expected election cam
paign. Liberal members also are
expected to withdraw, and Chur-
chill probably will have to appoint
80 ministers and Junior ministers
to complete his Interim Govern
ment.
