it can to alleviate distress in impov-

indicated his conviction and deter
mination that this is an obligation to
be served AFTER and not before
provision is made for maintenance
of the minimum living standards
upon which the health and strength
of the American people depend.
He pledged himself that only that
portion of the total American food
supply which is ABOVE the mini
mum needs of this country will be
exported.
Moreover, he further pledged
himself that hereafter, under his ad-
ministration, the American people
will always be told the TRUTH
about their food situation-includ-
ing whatever factors of mismanage-
ment that may contribute to
shortages.
THE American people are entitled
Il to know at all times how MUCH
food there is in the country and
WHERE it is going, said Mr.. An
derson.
In case of a shortage, they are
entitled to knoW Vhether or not the
shortage occurs from the failure of
nature, so-called act of God, or
from official NEGLIGENCE AND
STUPIDITY" he declared.
IL haze no sympathy Dith the
notion that it is any part of the func-
tion of public official to protect the
people FROM THE TRUTH"
The new secretary of agriculture,
according to the expectations of
President Truman who appointed
him and the hopes of the American
people who depend upon him, has
made very good START in his ad
ministration.
He has spoken with wisdom, and
now only needs to ACT with the
same wisdom in order to fulfill the
expectations and hopes of the Presi-
dent and of the people.

TT SEEMS to me that the case
i of Elliott Roosevelt is being
confused by the simple legal
fact that il is no crime TO bor-
row. money, 10 settle a debt on
the best terms one can make
and to get out of A bad trans
action.
Legally, Gen. Roosevelt is on
altogether safe grounds.
But legal right may not be
moral right. The law cannot
establish morality. The law
itself may even be morally
wrong. a, law may even be
extraordinarily wicked.
For instance. those who be-
lieve that marriage Is an lnVlol-
able sacrament cannot recognize
any divorce law As moral. Elliott
Roosevelt then must face this
matter OF his loans not as a
question Of law but of his con-
science.
VIIESTBROOK PEGLER made
w public a story which had
for some time been rumor. IN
fact. ever since Eugene Carey
was, under curious and inexplic-
able circumstances. forced 10 re-
sign as counsel of the congress
sional committee investigating
the FEC.
1t was then reported that
Eugene Garey's probings had led
him directly into the White
House.
Pegier has performed valu-
able public service in making
these facts public. but neither
he nor any one else has estab-
lished legal case against Elliott
Roosevelt.
What has been accomplished
by this exposure is infinitely
more important than Elliott
Roosevelt is now or is ever
likely to be.

Y Make the Peace PERMANENTLY Bring Our Boys Home PROMPTLY

We believe that nobody-none Of
the experts, none of the city or
state officials, none of the pressure
groups who have been loudly clamor-
ing and confusing the issue-knows
infallibly the ideal location for post
war airport.
We so believe because if peace
time air traffic expands as much as
it is supposed to, we will have to meet
it without any pattern of past per-
formance, and if it doesn't expand
that way it won't make any partic-
ular difference where we build our
airport.
We think it is pempous for tech
nicians to assume the character of
crystal gazers and announce that
such and such site is the only pos
sible one.
WE THINK it is selfish and short
w sighted for laymen to obstruct
a site because it may alphabetically
at some future date be a neighbor
hood nuisance.
We think it is silly for public servant
such as Maj. Sheldon Steers, state aero
nautical director, for instance, to assert
regally that Detroit MUST accept the
Ford road site and none other.
Mai Steers can't but add to the bieker-
ing confusion by trying to tell Detroit
how to run its affairs, as he probably real
lied after publication of his intemperate
ultimatum.
He can't tell Detroit anything.
The present position of the board of
commerce aviation committee is in pleas
ant contrast. 1t indicates a commendable
attitude.
1t provides good example for the
other quarreling factions to follow if we
want what we need, which is good air
port quickly.

THE new president, Mr.. Tru-
Il man. and his new state sec
retary, Byrnes, are being sent
on their way with the private
senatorial comment that they
are not men accustomed TO
giving things away To this
observation, one senator has re-
joined:
"Yes but we have nothing to
give away"
This may be somewhat true
in a territorial sense, but in a
more accurate consideration we
have the entire world to give
away.
The cause of these crises is a
developing imperialist policy by
Russia. Her army occupation
of European territory was
blocked off from all news. by
Moscow. for several weeks after
the surrender, until a few days
ago.
The commonly ascribed rea-
son for our exclusion, as offered
authoritatively. but privately,
here, is that Russia wished TO
liquidate all her enemies in
those nations before letting us
even into Berlin.

articles By Samuel CroWther on the United
Nations charter as drGWn up at the San
Francisco conference Chich Mr.. Cr0Uther
attended as an ObSerrer.
YTNHE Senate of the United States has
l. acted on one measure and is consider
ing two others, all originating in the
Roosevelt administration, which can be
administered to change profoundly the
government of the United States and the
welfare of its people.
These measures are grandly entitled
and they drip with nobility of purpose.
Not one of them has been candidly
presented for what it is.
THE ORDINARY CITIZEN HAS NOT
HAD THE INFORMATION EITHER TO
ANALYZE THE SEPARATE MEAS
URES OR TO ADD THEM UP TO SEE
WHAT THEY COME TO.
Consequently he is apathetic and has
left the field clear for the pressure groups
who do know what these measures are
and what they add up to.
IINDER these circumstances, it would seem
- to be the plain duty of the Truman
administration to drop the intricate special
pleading of the Roosevelt administration and
to give the people a simple picture Of the
position in which they are being put and what
may happen TO them.
WE ALL WANT TO BELIEVE THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMAN HAS SCRAPPED
THE FLYING TRAPEZE AND Is TRYING
TO PLANT HIS FEET FIRMLY ON AMER
ICAN GROUND AND TO LOOK AFTER
AMERICAN INTERESTS.
But it is becoming evident that he has
not had the time or perhaps has not the
ability to grasp the full meaning of certain
measures he is advocating and that he is fall
ing into the hands of and being moulded by
the same cotere that directed the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
1t Is not otherwise possible to explain why
his new secretary of state, Mr.. Byrnes-whO
Is primarily q elOakroom politician-should
have selected Benjamin V. Cohen to advise
him. For MIR. Cohen was the ultimate brains
Of the Neaw Deal and is believer in phoney
money, planned economy and the appease-
ment of Russia.
President Truman still retains in the White
House Judge Rosenman, who was President
Roosevelts chief speech writer; Lauchhn
Currie, who believes in national debt as
stimulus, and David Niles, who has been
political errand boy.
TINE three measures that can be used TO
i change the whole nature of our govern
ment and our economy are the United Ma
tions charter, the Breton Woods monetary
agreement-both of which will undoubtedly
pass the Senate-and the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act, which has already become
law.
THE DOCUMENT DRAWN UP AT SAN
FRANCISCO Is AT PRESENT A COLI.EC-
TION OF MEANINGLESS WORDS. THESE
WORDS CAN BE GIVEN A MEANING.
The ratification of what is now called
charter will not give the words meaning.
They will acquire meaning according to the
powers granted by the Senate to the Amer
lean delegate to the security council. If his
powers are sufficiently broad, the charter
can acquire a meaning and the American
delegate can direct the foreign policies of the
United States.
The scheme as it is now set up, cannot
be anything more than an international town
meeting of the air unless all the delegates 10
the security council have the absolute power
to commit their countries In that case, the
charter can create super-state.
