Probation Best

There Used to be a practice by at least
one religious sect, and perhaps more, which &C
cepted new members on probation II at the
end of year the novice had deported himself
creditably and in accordance to the sect's
rules he was taken into full membership
Our mind reverts to this custom in connec-
ton with the attitude of other American re-
publics toward Argentina and wonders if the
accordance of Argentina into full fellowship
at once without a period of probation, is the
best course.
Argentina may be honestly repentent The
Farrell government may be truly sorry Tor
its previous conduct, and determined to CO.
operate in all ways with the other American
nations Her declaration Of war on the Axis
would indicate that change OF heart has
taken place in Buenos Aires. But it is still
to be demonstrated that along with repent
ance Argentina is able to shake off the Axis
influence which has dominated her policy in
recent times.
The possibility that the Nazis have strangle-
hold on Argentina n nc be sidestepped.
Therefore it would seem desirable that h e
Farrell regime first prove its worthiness of
fellowship with the other American nations be-
fore being accorded full diplomatic relations
by them and given pat on the shoulder.
As the decision to accept Argentina into the
community Of American nations has been
made, nothing can now be done to alter that
action But we cannot refrain from entering
this protest against it.

Help For Sibelius

Jan Sibelius, the 8O-year-old Finnish COM
poser refused to allow British admirers to
hold series of concerts for his benefit, say
ing he did not want any favors. II am just
an ordinary Finn and I don't want to be
treated differently than my fellow country
men," While we disagree with him that he
is just an ordinary Finn, preferring to con-
slider him an extraordinary man of genius,
his reluctance to accept favors is understand
able.
But because of the war, royalties for per-
Torrance Of his works have not been going
to him as they should, so, cognizant OF his
plight and his contribution to the worlds mu-
sic library, the Philharmonic Symphony So
ciety of New York has sent, or is sending,
him $1,000 'as an expressions of gratifica-
ton for the many great works it has been
privileged to offer its audiences"
Because OF the imitation in Finland conse-
quent upon the war, Sibelius pension has
been reduced to a pittance. At 80 he cannot
do strenuous work to earn a livelihood. The
money from New York is but fraction Of
the total due him in royalties, but at least 1t
will tide him over for a while. And as it

Judge Scores OPA

The harassed public will cheer federal
Judge in New York for his stern reouKe OF
the Office of Price Administration for con-
earring itself with "nonessentiar' prosecu-
lions. The judge Murray Hubert, trying
case against a dealer charged with selhhg
hedsprngs above the OPA ceiling price,
scored OPA for its activities in cases involv'
ing bedsprngs, women's slips and toys "nen
the black market in food has become SO
STRONG in New York that although poultry
has not been rationed it is harder to BUY
chicken than steak or lamb chop
Judge Hubert sentenced the offender be-
fore him but had something to say aoou'
the OPA which deserves to be quoted.
..Jf the bows on the other side can sleep
in trenches he declared, 1--WE certainly can
sleep on the floor and won't have to worry
much about the price Of bedsprings, which
we can't eat
But like the boys fighting the war for US,
we also have to eat While we can't ask Tor
ANYTHING better than they get, we nave TO
ask for as much as is necessary to keep
us fit and at least should get as much as
the prisoners of war get over here.
1.-THE last time I sat in the Criminal Fart
Of Federal court, during the summer OF 1884,
OPA cases involving overcharges OF ceiling
prices for nylon stockings, toys laoles SIPS
and other nonessentials were brought before
me. When some cases involving overcharges
for oranges came before me I promptly i'm
nosed substantial fines and Jail sentences. l
understand that such action broke up the
black market in oranges.
"Now the OPA brings in case involving
overcharges for bedsprings, which we can
not eat I hope the OPA will not overlook
the necessity for giving consideration TO 1ne
need for prosecuting cases involving necessi-
ties which people have to depend upon Tor
the sustenance of life
From the start the OPA has wasted valu-
able time upon "nonessentials.' 1t is this pre-
disnosition. we believe, that has had most to
do with creating a strong feeling OF disgust
with its activities by the public generally.
We could no longer have cuffs on our trousers.
We could not buy sliced bread. Butchers could
not cut meat any longer as they hao oone'
but must cut it according to Leon Henoer-
sons instructions. Things like this were well
calculated to breed contempt for the OPA'
particularly as men with no solid training
for their tasks were put at the head OF OPA'
multiple branches and apparently devoted
their time to figuring ways to befuddle and
harass the people generally.
It can only be hoped that Judge Hubert S
excoriation will be heard at OPA headquar-
ters and accepted at face value.

WASHINGTON CALLING 8
by MZLM
MARQUIS CH1LDS &",3|

WASHINGTON - Human be-
havior is sometimes unbelievably
strange. Take for example the
frame Of mind in which we find
ourselves today.
Delegations of statesmen from
all over the world are about to
get in solemn conclave at San
Francisco. Judging from advance
indications, they will agree on a
security organization that will
bind the member nations to send
their arms and their men to keep
the peace of the world.
We will agree, in other words,
to send our most previous COM
modify. Yet today we glover sus-
piciously at the rest Of the world
and say, in effect, not one more
pound of butter, not one more side
of bacon. not one more pound OF
flour. AID that comes after we
have sacrificed nearly a million
young men already in a war for
security.
This state of mind seems to me
to be fact of paramount impor-
lance. 1t is stumbling block in
the path of the peace planners,
and it is such a big obstacle it is
hard to see how they can step
over it.
People with empty stomachs are
not very much interested in po-
litical ideas or ideals. And a great
many people in Europe, to say
nothing of other parts of the
world, have empty stomachs. Mil
lions, literally millions!
heard it put this way. If you
are sick-and Europe today Is a
sick continent-the doctor comes
and writes a prescription for some
medicine he believes will make
you well But the prescription has
to be filed at the drug store.
You can't eat rhe paper it is writ
ten on.
Well, it's a little like that with
the Dumbarton Oaks plan and the
amendments and improvements
that will come out of the San
Francisco conference. That is the
political prescription. But the pa
tient is suffering from prolonged
malnutrition and he cannot eat a
piece Of paper.
We are, of course, not the only
people reacting with a nervous
kind of nationalism to this mat
ter of food shortages. Everybody
over his shoulder to see whether
his neighbor has more on his plate
than he has.
A headline in a London iaily
says, 'sU. S. meat ration five times
Britain's." The Canadians can
show that in 1914 we ate more
meat per capita-that is, Ameri-
Canada. Now, with no meat RAJ
tioning, they are ahead of US. But
apparently with more shipping
space available so that shipments
can 60 to England again, Canada
will restore rationing.
It is all tied up in one package,
this question Of food supply. The
Canadians tell me that at one
time last year they wanted to ship
live cattle into this country to be
slaughtered here. Cattle growers
in the west didn't like that. Up.
parently their political pressure
was sufficient to keep the Cana
dian livestock out.
So here We are looking jealous
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-04-11

w into each others windows. Can.
ada has a porterhouse steak for
supper tonight. We haven't had a
porterhouse steak on our table for
five weeks and therefore we are
resentful and angry.
That, it seems to me, is a dead
end of Illustration. Coming at a
time when hungry millions in Eu-
rope need the bare essentials, it
can wreck the best laid plans Of
the great assize in San Francisco.
Why not look at it in another
way? Why not ask ourselves
whether it would not be possible
to eat 10 per cent less during the
next IL months than we have been
eating?
The first impulse is to say that
this could make no difference
when there are so many under
fed. But 10 per cent of our total
food supply would feed $4,000, 900
people. For most Europeans, rs
per cent supplement to their pres
ent diet would mean the differ
ence between lasting harm, both
to bodies and minds, and we'll
being.
Therefore you can multily 49,
100000 by four and you get ST.
100000 That covers all the i'm
portant cities of liberated Europe;
and the countryside in most in
stances is self-sufficient. Under
that kind of approach, a problem
that has seemed insoluble in its
magnitude melts down to reason
able proportions.
Charity, you say; we can't 60
on feeding the world forever. But
hunger produces decay and dis
Indignation and eventually new
revolutions and new wars. It is
just possible that little food
spared now might save the young
men of another generation.

Whether that can be traced TO
Nazi preference to see most of
Germany everrun by Allied troops

be seen, but events point that way
now. The test will come when the
main Russian drive for break
through on the Oder-Neisse line
for a junction with Allied forces
at the Elbe is launched. Berlin has
insisted for weeks it was impend-
ing if not in progress but without
confirmation from Moscow.
At the moment, the most proc.

looks to be somewhere east of
Leipzig. A broad American drive
is pushing into the wide falkland

of the Harz mountains. 1t obvious

the supply difficulties of extending
lines that are restricting Allied
movements.
The Russians on the southern

have tougher terrain to cross to
