A Thought For Today
Promises For Palestine

Under League of Nations mandate, Great Britain in 1922 committed itself to eventual independence for Pal eStine Britain also undertook to establish Jewish Ma ona Home there and to safeguard the civil and religious rights of the Arab population.
 Although the United States declined to accept the League of Nations mandate it has recently gotten n to the picture by making promises both to the Jews and Arabs.
 Such is the background-a background of broken Both the Jews and the Arabs tired of conflicting plans for solution of the vital and delicate Palestine problem demanding fulfilment of these promises
 That the confct-Which has ragged intermittently for
 quarter of century-now is at critical stage is evil denced by the fact that the pressure both sides Is stronger than before The international movement fo

 The League is meeting in Cairo, where most of stand the Palestine problem well other Near East questions including the Arab position in all North Africa from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Persian Gulf
 This problem, involving the question of home for Jews against the rights of the Arabs is too dangerous to postpone solution The British and U S. policy of prom ises and delay will only the situation permitted to continue AS in the other trouble spots of the world action needed quickly prevent the problem from becoming any more deep-rooted than it is.

 It looks like small business, which both Roose welt and Truman talked so much about protecting, is going to get the small end of the deal. During the war, big business got most of the prime con- tracts More than 50 per cent of all orders went to just six companies. Now, by seight-of- hand operation Smaller War Plants, chief protector of little business is being gutted. Funny part of it is that the gutting of Smaller War Plants is probably unconstitutional since what is created by Congress can't be transferred without Act of Congress. Despite this, the main functions of Smaller War Plants being transferred to the RFC-namely loans to small busness-while the leftover dregs going to Henry Wallace's Con- merce Department This is taking place just after Congress got through voting Smaller War Plants the money to hire 800 extra to sell surplus goods to veterans. .

such things to create postwar boom.
 The other side of the picture is more optimistic. It is based the belief that what lies ahead is merely little readjustment recession following the pattern of 1919 It takes encouragement from the belief that business gets squared away and begins operating under lower taxes in 1946 there will be big pickup and things will begin to get good. Under this line of thinking, there won't any eight million unemployed next spring.
 In support of this latter view, it must be admitted that from the V-days up to Nov. l, the shock of employment has been a darn sight less than most of the prophets of doom have been Waling This can be seen best in reports state unemployment com pensaton figures. It is impossible to chart these fig ures and project them to show what the situation will be next spring
 It is pretty well established that end of the war and cancellation of contracts threw over six million workers out of jobs.
 There are no accurate data what has hap pened to these six million ex-War workers, says Evan Clague, director of the Bureau of Unemployment Security But there pretty good indications. They show that three million shifted to peacetme jobs immediately Two million have filed claims for unemployment compensation. One million are

those experienced during the de- preSsion of the ThirtieS.
 Labor is organized, business is organized, and thetwo groups fight as If they were the whole people.
 But they are not. Organized labol is a mere faction of the workers of the country, and while the big manufacturing and industrial or ganizations represent big business thousands of little business men are represented only by themselves.
 Who represent the common man the average citizen, the ultimate consumer, the unorganized worker the white-collar worker, the ordin- ary, run of the mine citizenry Whc are so anxious these days concern ing wages, salaries and living costs jobs and taxes?
 The Government of the United States is assumed to represent all the people, all of the time. But il doesn't, at present, appear to be rep resenting anybody. Leadership Is la- mentally lacking at the top levels today. President Truman, we re- gret to say, has shown neither gumption nor resource. as strikes and disputes and confusion. have mounted. Neither has Congress Neither has Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach, who took over from the intellectual Mrs. Per kins with so much fanfare.
 The need for leadership was never so great as today. Yet where are the strong, powerful, effective and outstanding leaders we need? We produced magnificent leaders to head up our Army and Navy Macarthur, Eisenhower, Patton Nimitz, Ki!lg, Halsey incompar- able men who knew what to do who could inspire men to high deeds and victory. these. Where are our civil leaders? Where are our political leaders, or statesmen?
 We need inspired and effective leadership, here, now not tomorrow The best possible politics the ad- ministration could play at this mo- ment would be to forget politics, to remember all the people. the well fare of the entire 132,000,000 Amer jeans, few of whom are capitalists and few of whom hold union cards

fore the fighting outfit is disbanded. One reason, probably is because few divisions finished with any distinct regional flavor. But New England's chance is the 43rd, now reported on its way. There those who feel that review of at least the New England left in it should be staged at Fort Devens where friends and relatives could pay formal honors. Maj.-Gen. Leonard F. Wing of Vermont is the commanding general But far as is known nothing is planned for the division division or the New England representation remaining. The 43rd made great record in the Pacific It started in the Solomons and finished in the Philippines That's going the distance.

Chester Bowles Said It

Chester Bowles, head of OPA, has spoken his piece on the future of price control through his glasses He has told Senate Investigating committee the country is headed for what he calls boom-andb bust period unless agency keeps prices stable level There too much hot money the pockets of the American people he insists and there is universal urge to spend it. Denied many things during the past four years Bowes believes the people out to get them regardless of cost
 Perhaps the immedite remedy for situation such as the OPA head describes price control But permanent cure will come only when normal production brings competitive market Reconverson of industry de- pended upon to bring about that desirable situation Unfo tunaey reconveron has been delayed by nfatonary nands by labor unions and wartime scarcites being continued
 Price control never be made popular in peacetime when the need for it could be easily eliminated It is spurious remedy for condition which should not be to eraed Industry today should be supplying the things which the American people greatly desire and for which prices.
 The government should concentrate its efforts eIim mating the need instead of endeaVorng to continue price control at best un-America idea Nor will anyone be greatly scared by boom predictions by Bowes.

FARMERS WANT MORE, TOO
Hartford Times

Having become accustomed to fed eral friendliness along with organ ized labor, agricultural leaders were quick to express their desire that President Truman's proposal for in- creased wages be expanded to in- clude larger subsidies to farmers Chairman Pace of the House Agri- cultural Committee has submitted legislation which would increase parity prices by approximately 3l percent.
 In support of this increase is urged the argument that parity as first formulated, based on farm cost-income relation in the 1909- 1914 period, did not include labor costs. That item has increased near ly four-fold since that time. Hence, the demand for upward revision of parity.
 The formula revision would boost many parity prices by approximate ly 3l percent. For example, the gov- ernment under present conditions would consider 23.4 cents a pound a flair price for cotton" instead of the present 21.7 cents parity level; $202 a bushel for wheat, instead of $l.55, and $147 a bushel for corn instead of SIP. The House has ap- proved the parity chance twice in recent years but the Senate has not gone along.
 Let no one be surprised if the farm-bloc in both branches of Con- gress goes into action on this mat ter. It has demonstrated on more than one occasion that it can neat ly override party lines, draw SUD- port from all agricultural areas of the nation and register surprising winning margins of votes on legis- lation favorable to the farmer. Cur rent federal subsidies are being paid at the rate of approximately $l,- 900, 100000 a year.
 A further increase in the price of farm products would automatically raise the cost of living. It would be an inflationary factor. It would be a thrust through the price-ceiling policy of the wartime period, a pol icy which the President Is trying to maintain even though he fayors wage increases, The attitude of the farm-bloc in Congress will disclose whether the President can help la Dor without also having to extend similar aid to the farmers.
