World trade, our best
guarantee to world peace
URGENT

Within the next few davs the Senate will
vote on the renewal of the Hull Trade Agree.
ments Act. The entire world is watching thi.
vote. Will the Government of the United
States continue to press forward along the
path of economic cooperation or will it turn
back toward economic isolation?
The Hull Trade Agreements Act, first
passed in 1884, authorized the President to
reduce tariff up to 500 in return for equal
concessions on the part OF other countries.
Under the influence of mutual tariff reduc-
from wear to year.
In one of his last messages to the Congress,
the late President Roosevelt. in order further
to expand trade, asked the Congress for au-
thority to reduce tariffs up to 5Oec from pres.
ent levels.
President Truman Joined our late Presi.
dent in appealing to the Congress to grant
this authority.
Within the past week the House of Repre-
sentatives has responded to this appeal, with
intelligence and with vision 1t has passed
bill granting the authority requested.
Whot Senate Is Doing
The Senate will vote within the next dav
or two The bill before it. however. is not the
same as the one passed by the House, and it
denies the President any additional power to
cut tariffs. This bill could accomplish little,
if anything, because under it our Govern
ment would have little to offer in exchange
for tariff reductions of other countries
under it our President is deprived of the
strong bargaining position he ever must be
in, when dealing with other nations
1t is now within our power to take the lead
In organizing world economy based upon
the principles of free enterprise and expand
ing trade. The House bill seizes this oppor.
tunity. The Senate bill would throw it awav.
No nation can afford to make firm plans
for the future until it knows what the United
States is going to do. If we move boldly to
expand the volume of trade, the world will
follow our lead. If we hesitate the world will
hesitate, and we shall find ourselves once
more in world of stagnating trade uner-
ployment. and, before long. political up.

fairs. We cannot be good neighbors and still

while refusing to reduce the barriers of trade.

Today's hand has two very good
lessons in it. AS a matter of fact,
it could almost be referred to as a
Sylvia hand, but I think that East's
is too good to call it a Sylvia play.
Now of course the natural thing
to do when you win the opening
spade lead is to lead the ten of
diamonds and play low from dummy.
I suppose few players with the
queen and one diamond would re-
fuse to win this trick.
But you can see that if you win
the trick, regardless of what you
return, the declarer has no prob
lem making the hand
Therefore the real defensive
play is not to win the tick with
the queen. Naturally the declarer
will continue the diamond and will
probably flnesse again.
However, a good player will pro-
tect himself two was on this hand.
He will lead the ten of diamonds
and play the jack from dummy

Beet culture is similar to that
of carrots, but the gardener must
make sure that the soil is slightly
on the alkaline side. Garden
lime, worked into the soil during
preparation will do the trick.
A fact about beet seed that
many gardeners do not seem to
know is that each is a pod con-
tanning three or five germs, each
of which vii lsprout, Therefore.
SOW the seed an inch apart and
when the plants are a couple Of
inches tall, thin them to stand
three to four inches apart. There
is no green more delicious and nu-
tritious than beet Trimmings. In
fact, many folks grow a row of
beets just for the greens.
Perhaps the best beet to grow
for all crops is Crosby's Egyptian
which normally natures in two
months. Detroit Dark Red is rec
commended for those who enjoy
greens. and the beets themselves
are excellent. For picking and/o
canning, beets are pulled when an
inch and half in diameter. In
order to be of high quality, beets
should be grown rapidly. Tough
and woody beets are usually the
result of slowing down in
growth, so in dry weather, water
ing is necessary. Use a fertilizer
low in nitrogen; most AHA fer
tilizers are satisfactory.

of Casablanca. Following the ad-
vance from North Africa, Lieut..
Hindman was sometimes only four
miles behind the lines as our army
took Naples, Casino, Anzio, Rome

Twice the hospital ships she
was abroad were bombed out from
under her. She was rescued from
the first sinking after struggling to
keep her head above churning wa
tiers for an hour and a half. The
second time her ship was hit. she
was more fortunate and was picked
up within a matter of minutes. The

NEA Staff Writer

National Baby Week, April % to
May 5, spotlights the problem of
mothers working in war plants who
have small children to feed at
home. The time devoted to war
work cuts the time normally de-
voted to meal planning, but the
need to feed growing children nu-
tritiously is just as great as it ever
was.
One Meal For All
When there are young children
to feed plan a "One Meal for All,
it simplifies cooking. Avoid high
ly seasoned and fried foods. If the
family likes popped up flavor,
that can be added after the food
for the younger ones has been
served. For example-broiled fill
let of founder, faxed for the one
year-old and topped with Spanish
sauce for the adults.
Remember Three IBIS"
Remember the three BIS when
planning your meals - broiled,
boiled and baked. Foods prepared
by these methods are permitted for
any child eating strained, ground,
chopped, or whole foods.
Menus require organization, par
ticularly when time is devoted reg
ularly to jobs outside of the home
and the daily food requirement for
each member of the family is so
important for good nutrition.
Children should be considered as
one of the family as soon as pos
sible, where food is concerned
Plan your meals accordingly and
make the most Of your precious
time.
