Helping Business
from the Clay Center (Kansas) Dispa

FROM the Clay Center tkAn1aO Dfspatch.
II the Government will devote its at
tention to plans which would not inter-
fere with business providing jobs for
workers in the postwar days. rather
than trying to figure out ways by which
the Government could or should take
care OF workers, 1t will be much better,
though such might not be vote-getters
for the politicians. There is no justin
cation for the 5000 900 job propaganda.
But If business is given square deal 1t
will come nearer providing that many
jobs than to have many workers feeling
that there. is no need for worry, that
the Government viii take care Of them.

methods IN manufacturing and, at the
same time, no increase in prices of the
things they buy. They ask for 80 per
cent increases in wages. But that Is
10 times the average yearly gains In
industry from improved machinery and
manufacturing methods. Perhaps they
have been Influenced to believe that the
gains In manufacturing methods, reg
istered during the war, represent a nor
NAL increase in efficiency. But those war
gains were made because Government
could persuade, cajole, threaten and
compel management to move faster.
Who Is to put on the pressure now?
About all the Government can do is to
persuade and cajole. Right now it is
too confused even to do that.
Molotovs demands fnd the British
and Americans unprepared. The basic
reason for confusion in London seems
to be failure by Russians, British and
Americans alike to distinguish clearly
between what must be settled soon and
what should be discussed over q period
of q few years. Had this distinction been
clearly made. trading could proceed,
with demands and counter-demands
limited to Immediately pressing prob
lens. But to gain an immediate ad-
vantage in the Balkans, Russia Is OPEN
ing the long-range question Of the Med
iterranean.
The net result Of throwing all de-
mands on the table at once Is con-
fusion and failure.
Again and again, the advice of Her
bert Hoover, two years ago, needs to be
emphasized. This peace-making BUSH
ness Is long-range affair. It might be
well to stretch it as long as i've years.
Give things chance to cool on. Settle
immediate and minor problems, and let
the world start to recover.

Deep Brazilian jungle Memorie

Deep Brazilian Jungle Memories
To the Editor Of The Star
Congratulations to Harry Lever for
his dramatic story in The Sunday Star,
September l6, which told of 1000 men
(who) died carving this railway through
jungle"
From what personally know of the
Brazilian wilds that dangerous saga Is
no fiction of an imaginative writer. His
subjects were pioneer Americans In
such a mass of earth's living growth is
found world of contrasts.
My own jungle experience was CEN
tered around Matto Crosse and Goyaz,
along the Araguaya River which joins
the lower Tocantins near the mouth of
the Amazon. My father-in-law, A. N.
Allen, an American missionary who
served the Seventh-day Adventist Mis-
sion Board for 80 years in Latin Amer
lea, had carved mission home in the
jungle. A homestead of II square
miles -four miles along the river front,
to a depth of three miles into the
jungle) was the nucleus OF that project
to civilize a few tribes of Brazilian In
dians.
My wife and spent seven months in
the tropics during the widest portion
of the year. There we were swept by
torrential rains and surrounded by
floods, while we sweated out the humid,
torrid days. and welcomed the slight
relief OF darkness.
Our rifle and pistol practice were on
the fair prey of the river-alligators-
the terror of the jungleside. Vicious
piranhas bit our fishing lines in two,
or sting rays clung to our hooks.
Boa -constrictors slithering about,
jaguars roaring at night; chattering
monkeys, and squawking macaws in
heavy, but colorful flight; toucans with
ponderous bills, herons In graceful poise
near white beaches; the emu ostrich Of
the South American hinterland; romp-
ing ariranhas, like great otters, gracing
Jungle river courses-all these, and
many more, are unforgettable memories
of our jungle honeymoon.
But lest readers conclude that Brazil
is nothing but jungle, we should add
that the country cradles a rapidly grow
ing population OF 5oooo,ooo inhabitants
in 20 states one territory, and the fed
eral district Of Rio de Janeiro.
This vast territory Of South America,
endowed with unlimited natural re-
sources, is slightly larger than our own
native land OF America. Civilization is
limited to wide coastal strip which ex-
extends from the Amazon to the borders
of Uruguay, near the La Plata.
The whole country, whether devel-
oped or undeveloped, is tourists para
disc. And as all refined Brazilian people
would say in their colorful tongue, the
Portuguese language, "Sois bemvindos =
nossa terra" meaning, You are welcome
to our country.

Blames Exhibition Policy.

Blames Exhibition Policy.
To the Editor Of The Star:
On behalf of the theater going public
in Washington, wish to protest against
the policy of theater managers, which
prevents movie lovers from seeing some
of the best pictures produced in Holly
wood.
I recently returned from Atlantic City
where class A attractions are changed
every week, only to find the same pic
lures running in Washington for weeks
at time, before being transferred to
other downtown houses and exhibited
to steadily diminishing audiences.
For the past three weeks, have been
unable to see new picture, although
the backlog Of frst-grade pictures must
be tremendous Washington needs at
least two more downtown movie houses
of first rank to combat the shor.-sighted
policy now pursued by local managers.

Trusting Gen. Macarthur

Trusting Gen. Macarthur
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial on Our japanese
Policy" is to be commended as much
needed word to calm the implusive
criticism Of Gen. MacArthurs approach
to the occupation of Japan.
Certainly. when he was chosen as the
supreme Allied commander, the Ma
ton was most enthusiastic about such q
wise choice.
Now, let us. who are far from the
scene, be less hasty to criticize man
who knows the Japenese so well from
long years of experience. Instead, let us
show our appreciation OF Gen. Mac
Arthur's work by giving him our faith
and patience.
MRS. HELEN F. CoUNT1ss.
TO the Editor of The Star:
The criticism of General MacArthur'S S
methods in Japan reminds me OF Ebert
Hubbards remark in THE Message to
Garcia" that any home in the country
could furnish one or two persons per-
fectly confident of their ability to ad-
wise the President Of the United States
on how to do a better job of being
President.
Your editorial on the subject was ex-
cellent and Gen. MacArthur's own
answer was mastery w. S. MEAD.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O-(P)- A special investigation made for Secretary Byrnes on political con- ditions in Romania and Bulgaria may hold one of the keys to the success of the approaching Big Three foreign ministers meeting in Moscow.

Gen. Hurley
 Again Testifies

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-(P)- Maj. Gen. Hurley charged Under secretary of State Acheson with wrecking the policy approved by President Roosevelt for fighting foreign monopolies, particularly British, in Iran and the Middle East.
 Hurley, former Ambassador to China, returned to the witness stand of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee immediately after Acheson told the meeting his of flee, in which participants almost came to blows over the charge by Hurley that the young assistant of Acheson had had military service and should be in the army.
 Acheson denied earlier asser- tions by Hurley that he had wrecked the American policy in Iran. Acheson said he disagreed with some recommendations made by General Hurley.

SHREVEPORT, La.-Because OF
the recent clamor in some quarters
for increased Federal support OF
certain medical projects. Louisiana

study to the general question OF
"socialized medicine" at their re-

DIR PAUL T. TALBOT. secre-
tary-treasurer OF the Louisiana

placed the members OF the medi-
cal profession solidly against So
cialized medicine as a federal re-
sponsibilitiy. There is some indi-
cation. he pointed out. that future
programs and increased services on
the part OF the medical profession
all over the state will certainly be
forthcoming by way OF multiplying
certain objections now held by the
general public

and pharmacists into three distinct
