HIGHWAY PROBE:
Graft CHARGED

Spurred by charges that hum
dreds of millions of dollars are be-
ing grated on the construction Of
the inter-American highway linking
the u. S. with the Panama canal,
the senate war investigating com
mittee prepared to undertake a
probe of all projects on foreign soil.
Launched by the war department,
the inter-American highway came in
for the major attention. with Rep
resentative Arends Qn.) pointing up
the charges with the declaration
that while a private construction
firm botched up a road building job
in Nicaragua for $4,000, 900, army
engineers laid a similar stretch per-
fectly for only S. 900, 900. Miles Of
the private job are Of soft road bed
and virtually impossible in many
parts, he said.
Echoing charges of Senators Fer
guson Mich.); Moore (Okla.) and
Robertson (Wyo.), Representative
Arends also declared that most Of
the graft is made under arrange
ments whereby private contrac-
tors rent their OWL equipment to
the government for use on a prof.
ect. Monthly rental of a D-8 crawl
er type tractor is SITS whether the
machine is worked or left idle. he

underground elements resisting Ger

the people. In the case of Greece,
George II finds himself unable to re-
turn to Athens because of internal
opposition; in YUgoslavia, Peter has
been forced to bow to the Partisan
Tito, ex-metal worker; in Italy, Vic

strong Catholic party plus SYM
pathetic elements from other politi-
cal parties. Though Britain has pro-
fessed open neutrality in the Bel
gian dispute. Leopold's mother has
been active in his behalf in London,
where strong attachment to mon
archy continues to exist particular
ly because of the opportunity it af-
fords for welding alliances through

UNITED NATIONS:
Chart Peace

With final deliberations of the par
ley marked by concessions to the
smaller countries, the United Ma
tons whipped their postwar peace
organization into shape at San Fran
cisco, with major responsibility for
future stability d%evolving upon the
Big Five - the U. S., Britain,
Russia, France and China. The pact
must now be ratified by member
countries.
Right to air a grievance before
the all-powcrfCi security council bull
warked by the Big Five as perma-
nent members, and the privilege to
discuss all matters falling within in
ternational relations, were the two
prerogatives won by the smaller
nations in the closing sessions OF
the parley after Russian opposition.
Despite the smaller nations last
minute victories, however, chief
powers of the postwar peace organ
ization remain in the hands OF the
Big Five, with virtually they alone
able to arbitrate disputes, impose
economic sanctions to bring poten-
tial aggressors in line and call up
the international air, sea and ground
forces to enforce peace. Converse
ly, any OF the Big Five could veto
such action.
Creation Of the international air,
sea and ground force under a gen
eral military staff with regional
branches marked the first time in
history that such an organization
had been established.

Although no peace conference was
held at San Francisco, the United
Nations postwar organization pro-
vided for international trusteeships
over conquered enemy territory and
the eventual attainment of self-rule
or independence for so-called sub
ect' people. Under the arrange
ments, the U. S. would be permitted
to retain Jap possessions for de-
fensive bases until congress agreed
to turn them over to the peace or
~ganiZation.
In addition to providing for politi-
cal and military action, an interna-
tional court of justice was set up
for the settlement of legal disputes
among nations, with the security
council empowered to enforce deci-
sions. Special bodies looking toward
the social, as well as economic de-
velopment of nations, also were es-
tabliShed.

Sentence Poles

In a case typical of swift Russian
court procedure, IL Of the Polish un-
derground leaders charged with car
rying on subversive activities behind
Red army lines were found guilty
and sentenced to Imprisonment,
with three acquitted. Also typical of
the conduct Of defendants on trial
in the Soviet, the accused wholly or
partially admitted their guilt and
virtually c~o-operated in the prosecu-
ton against themselves.
During the brief trial, the defend
ants said that the Polish under
gound had been ordered into hiding
by the government in exile in Lon
don and advised to form a military
political organization designed to re-
sist alleged Russian encroachments
against Polish independence. Charg-
ing the Reds with trying to set up a
communist : dominated rule in
Poland, the London regime long has
been at loggerheads with Moscow.
Russia's arrest of the under
ground leaders after allegedly invit-
ing them to discuss political ques-
tons first provoked a stir in U. S.
and British circles, with one of the
detectives of Harry Hopkins recent

Foreign Insurance
The life insurance companies Of
the United States have never shown
any great inclination to write life
insurance in foreign countries, add
ing that today there are few Ameri-
can companies operating outside the
continental limits of the United
States. Several Canadian companies,
however, have a fairly large life in
surance portfolio overseas. In this
connection the countries chosen by
the United States and Canadian COM
panieS operating in the foreign field
are generally more stable and con-
sequently there is less risk of dis
turbance to foreign corporations in
such countries.

Tidal Waves

Whether or not a river has a tide
depends on the slope of the river
and whether or not a dam in the
river prevents the tidal wave of the
lower reaches Of the river from 60
ing upstream. Large lakes, gener-
ally, have tides, but in many, such
as the Great Lakes, the tide is COM
paratively feeble.

Indian HarSes

The American Indians did not
have horses before the arrival Of
Europeans upon this continent. Dogs
we're the only animals used by these

believe that all the wild and Indian
horses of the West sprang from a
few which escaped from the troops
of Coronado in 1541.
