WE CANNOT explain or eve,


W understand what power of mind,
and heart and spirit is in men who
accept and win over the odds of
battle which confronted the men of
the Franklin.
We can only HONOR them.
Are we to account it defeat for
them, that they refused to abandon
their ship when it was torn by ex-
plosives and turned into a blazing
inferno, with more than a thousand
of their comrades dead and dying
about them?
Are we to say there was battle
lost, when the devotion of these men
to their duty, their callousness to
grief and pain, their utter inability
to comprehend the meaning of de-
feat, enabled them to bring their
stricken vessel first out of it's slough
of fire and then veritably to breathe
life back into it, and finally to sail
it for thousands of miles and under
it's own power to safe harbor?
The Franklin and her men have
given America more than victory.
They have given their country an
immortal story of a fighting ship that
would not die, and of the fighting
men who would not let her die.

Franklin is one which makes the

BY all the ordinary standards of
war, we must probably account the
battle in which the Franklin partici-
pated a great disaster and major
defeat.
The casualties among the crew
were horrifying.
The vessel itself is incapacitated
for many months, if not for the dura-

this great victory, and we may be

FOOD:
Europe's Need

AS congress wrangled over appro-
priation of $3.50, 000, 900 to complete
the original government pledge of

Relief and Rehabilitation admins
tration, and President Truman
asked for another $3.50, 000, 900 for
the agency, UNRRA officials abroad
estimated that liberated European
countries would need 100000 tons
of foodstuffs this winter to avoid
starvation and serious malnutrition.
Because of Interruptions in farm
ing caused by the war and drouth,
European agriculture will be able
to furnish metropolitan districts
with food assuring daily intake Of
only 1900 calories, UNRRA said.
Though receipt of 9,000,000 tons Of
food would boost this figure to 1000
calories, the diet still would fall be-
low standard nutritional require
ments.
Investigations in Czechoslovakia,
Greece, Italy, Denmark, Holland,
Belgium, Yugoslavia and Norway
revealed that there was a pressing
need for feed to help rebuild the
cattle and dairy industries, serious
ly depleted by butchering of con-
quering armies and the diversion
of grains to human consumption.
Having already shipped 2,40O cows

monthly deliveries through the win

Meanwhile, American grain mar

Cash rye held substantial mar
gin over cash wheat, what with dis
tillers scrambling for the grain in
view of shortage of corn and sor-
ghum, while the December future
scared to almost $1.90 a bushel, top
ping December wheat for the first
time since 1921.
Another bullish factor In the mar
ket was an estimated drop of 287,-
100000 bushels in the 1914 rye crop
in Europe where the grain is an inn
portant bread staple, and smaller
supplies in both the U. S. and Cam
ada.
Because of the slowness in deliv-
cry of grain to coastal ports, many
experts feared exports in the early
half of 1916 might fall below ex-
pectations. Railroads clamped on
emergency demurrage charges in
an effort to speed up unloading of
box cars to ease the situation.

BIG TALK:
treasures u. S.

In the nations capital to discuss
disposition of the horrific atom bomb
and touchy international questions,
British Prime Minister Attlee also
found time to address congress and
outline the democratic detectives of
his labor party just as negotiations
for multi-billion dollar loan from
the U. S. were naterializing.
Aimed at helping Britain get its
export import trade frnctioning
again and tighten the load of six bill
lion dollars of debts to wartime cred
itors, the projected multi-billion dol
lar advance was attacked in some
circles. as an aid to the labor party
in socializing the United Kingdom.
In addressing congress, Attlee de-
clared that British businesses were
only to be nationalized when they
had grown into monopolies detri-
mental to the economy.
No radical in speech or appear
ance, the short, mild-mannered,
mustached British leader described
the labor party as representative
cross-section of liberal English So
ciety, with professional and business
men, and even aristocrats, joining
with the working classes in its men,

In determining to retain the secret
of the know-how of Harvesting the
atom, President Truman and Attlee
declared that until effective safe
guards were set up against its de-
