By MelDtn X. Whiteleather

BY Mary.Carfer Roberts

BY Mary.Carfer Roberts
Everybody knows by now that the
world has shrunk. Everybody knows
that nations once weeks away are
now within few hours travel. And
everybody is feeling sort of un.
certain as to how the new intimates
are going to settle down in their
new intimacy. Melvin K. White
leather, veteran. Associated Press
correspondent and more recently
writer for the Philadelphia Bulletin
undertakes to survey our own
movers-in in the light of probable
mutual attitudes.
He takes up the cases of Great
Britain, France, Russia and Ger
many in Europe and China in the
Far East. A good deal of his book
is mere review of history, but his
conclusions are sensible and COM
mend themselves as likely to come
true.
OF Great Britain as "neighbor," :"
he says that trade agreements be-
tween her and us will be of the
utmost Importance. Her vital neces-
sity will be to export her manu-
factures in a substantial increase
over her prewar output and we must
not set up tariffs or other trade
barriers which will prevent her
frem doing So Good will will
depend on this, because Britain's
life will also depend on it. For
her part, Mr.. Whiteleather believes,
she has been shaken out of her
complacent provinciality, and while
continuing to function as world
power, may also govern herself as
one.
In France, he believes, we are
going to encounter considerable op-
position to any postwar cooperation
because of our support of Gen.
Giraud. Nothing in the diplomatic
history of the war is worse than
this episode, in Mr.. Whiteleather's
view, which he lays at the personal
doorstep of Mr. Roosevelt. AS
result of it, We will have to deal
with a French government which
has reason to feel hostile toward us.
On the subject of Russia he is
pretty orthodox, holding that that
country will want to take its place
as a great power among other great

Pvt. George J. Nemence, 42 Giles street, and Pfc. John J. Grasso, "A Linden street, were members of the l01st Airborne Division which pulled into Bastogne two days after the start of the Battle of the Bulge, and the division was completely sealed from outside help. When the Ger mans demanded surrender, acting division commander, Brigadier Gen. eral Anthony c. McAuliffe, an- swered: Nuts.
 The defense was to attack con- tinuouSly. At one point, the am- intuition ration was II rounds to a gun. No planes were able o break thorugh low ceil:ng to bring support and supplies. There were too many wounded for the medics to handle.
 But seven days after the encircle- ment, the battle of the Bastogne pocket ended. A corridor had been established with our own troops. The 101st Airborne had completde an- other chapter fn Its historic march through the battles of World War II.
 In addition to participating in the Battle of Bastogne, the 506th para chute infantry regiment played a major role in the success of the Normandy and Holland campaigns, It took part in the fall of Caren- tan and later liberated Eindhoven, in Holland.

 Trees Bloom

Washington, March 2e - (U.P)- The cherry trees which the Jap- anese gave us as a token of their everlasting esteem and affection are in full bloom. think maybe they are blushing.
 These trees are beautiful phonles They make with the silvery flowers with red spots in the middle which cause 'em to look pink from a dis tance), but they produce no cher ries.
 The Japanese gave us 1900 trees but only 1929 are left. A misguided patriot went to work on one Q couple of years ago with an ave. GAS If that would do any good).
 The trees are around the tidal basin and even Jugs like me are in- clined to get poetic in attempting tc describe 'em. I will skip 1t and re- port that Japanese cherry blossoms have no odor. The only smell could notice in their vicinity was fishy.
 Some people claim that this con- signment of trees brought along a blight which spread through cher ry orchards that really do give cherries. Federal experts insist this is not true. What actually happens makes one of those weird stories about east meeting west:
 Mrs. William Howard Taft was making tour of Japan in 1907, see. and Japanese newspaper reporter asked if she didn't think the land was beautiful. She said she certainly did. Particularly the cherry trees in bloom. There was piece in the Japanese papers about this and speeches in the diet (meaning the Japanese congress) and pretty soon the government of Japan sent over 8 consignment of young cherry trees.
 The Japanese ambassador said these trees were a token of his countrys everlasting love for our

The Unsuitable Passion for power and the creeping itch fer interference with the af- fairs of individuals, which have characterized New Deal bureau crats since they took over our nation. are keynotes in OPA Ad- ministrator Chester Bowles' lat est cry for help.
 To his utter horror, he dis covered his agency had no speci- fic authority to control admission prices to amusements. So he ask ed that great promulgator of perfect labor relations, New York's Senator Wagner, as chair man of the banking and currency committee. to rectify this heinous oversight forthwith.
 Bowles, whose regulations of meat, butter, cigarettes, chickens, gasoline and most other commo- dities have been so sparklingly successful, wants to ceilingize box-office prices at all theatres, ballparks, etc, to curb what he call extraordinary increases.
 This should give Senator Wag- ner a chuckle. His union legisla- tion has kited the cost of pro- uction and projection to unheard- of peaks. And, at this moment, the Wagner-fostered and New Deal-created War Labor Board has lost control of the film studio workers, who have tied up most of the industry with a jurisdic- tional dog fight which the ex- ultant disturbers hope will spread to all the movie theatres in the country.
 J. Caesar Petrolli, who told the VILE where to go, and paid a similar compliment to President Roosevelt-all under the protec tion of Senator Wagner's labor ws-h has blackjacked other amusement enterprises into help less surrender to arbitrary arro- gance and high-handed extortion
 The head shakedoWn artists of the stagehands' union have con- fessed that they blackmailed Hol- lywood for millions.
 BoWles' fellow bureaucrat, Jim mic Byrnes, has just done a job of skipping a midnight curfeW on thousands of theatres which gave late shows, mostly to swing shift War-workers and servicemen.
 Hollywood has been the patsy for every chiseling tax and re- strictive regulation that the bright boys in Washington could conceive.
 The war has closed vast foreign markets for pictures.
 Though the industry has come through phenomenally for every patriotic cause-money and mo- rale-it has been harassed by antitrust suits adverse labor rulings, limitations on supply, ir- responsible Congressional "inves- tigations," tremendous wartime Government demands, with no manpoWer, travel, or shipping privileges.
 The cost of production naturally has multiplied. Only part of the

added outlay is reflected in the slightly advanced admission prices. Here, in New York City, where we get the cream of the output, we cannot believe that the public, which so eagerly patronizes our theaters, agrees with Ldministra- tor BoWles that the increase has been "extraordinary"
 This is being written by the edi- tor of the Mirror. Through the editors desk funnel the complaints of cranks and crackpots as well as sensibly indignant persons. Gripes or almost every nature, some of them preposterous, many fthem well grounded, are written to the editor of every large metropolitan newspaper.
 This editor does not recall one squawk about theater admission prices.
 Our playhouSes are taxed with out mercy. By their very nature, they require the best realty loca- tionS. They must be well heated in the Winter and well cooled in the Summer. They are overbur- dened with make-work unionism. Film rentals and costs of other shows are continually rising. The American demand for approach to perfection, which is healthy manifestation of our character, grows as it feeds on splendid pro- duct, Superbly acted, mounted and presented.
 Yet, Administrator BoWles feels that he should get his clumsy hand into this finely adjusted, in- tricate and intensively specialized combination of art and industry, so that 1t can be dislocated and disjonted, as many other and far more smple businesses have been, by inexpert meddlers whose only qualifications for assuming such tasks are their New Deal voting and promoting records.
 Theaters are not bread, nor are they coal, nor are they water. They are luXuries wholesome. precious luxuries. The natural law of supply and demand can be trusted to regulate the prices of luXuries.
 And in this instance we suggest 1t would be wise for even the Ad- ministratlon to let one natural law alone.-Editorial, New York Mir TOT.
