Navy from China. Several high
Nationalist officers told this cor.
respondent privately that they
could not hold North China against
the Communists without American
help.
The Americans are in China in
theory to help disarm and repa-
triate japanese troops, but many
observers believe they are de-
layed in this duty because the Ma
tionahst government-which Wash
ingten is committed to support
would be unable to reoccupy the
northern areas without the COM
bination of japanese and American
assistance.
The result has been bitter re-
sentiment among The Chinese Com
munists, eliminating several times
in open clashes with the Arneri-
cans, such as the occasional Com
munist attacks on Marine-guarded
trains. And politically, the Com
munists have been edging closer
to Soviet Russia.
American military commanders
on the scene believe that United
States forces could bring off the
occupation of North China if they
were actively committed to mill
tary operations in support of the
Nationalist.
But the question remains how
long the Kuomintang could hold
such an area once American aid
was withdrawn.

W.H-Qualified military observers
fear that the seeds of World War
three are being sown today on the
bleak plains and rugged noun
tains of Manchuria and North
China.
Some of the experts on the
scene 60 so far as to say the pres

the first battles of such conflict.

this is the actual situation in North

UNO Capital

There has been a general belief on bot
sides Of the Atlantic that the United Nation
Organization headquarters would be establish
ed in the United States. In fact, the recon
mendation of the Executive Committee a
e. rly as last October was that this countr
should be the UNO home, the vote being nin'
to three. The keenest kind Of competition ha:
existed among American cities ever since tt
be. the Geneva of the new league
Now it appears the matter is not settled a
all and that there is a growing disposition
among some members to establish it in Eu
rope. Writing from London, Erwin D. Can
ham, editor of the Christie Science Monitor,
after stating the case in broad terms, says:
But now the deliberations of Committee
Eight of the Preparatory Commission show
that the issue is still open. In fact, the delega-
tons in favor Of European seat have been
conducting a tenacious fight for their convic-
tons which, from seemingly hopeless start,
has made very obvious headway."
Mr.. Canham declared that decision to
place the seat in Europe or Ito ST. IL on the
issue for an indefinite tinle'' would likely have
these effects:
Il. That American public opinion will feel
surprised, disappointed, and rebuffed.
20. That American isolationist - or hemis-
phere isolationists will be given a power
full argument which they will use to augment
current trends.
3. That American apathy, always de- n
gerous obstacle to world organization, will be
fostered through the years.
Concerning the organization itself and the
problems it will be expected to solve, Mr..
Canham writes:
But Of even greater imports nee are GER
tain fundamentals: That the United Nations
must be set up on a new principle and with
new spirit, not hampered by the part of Gene
vas legacy which is limiting and discourage
ing; that the United Nations must be world
wide, not simply European or America n; that
its secretariat must be much broader than the
old Geneva hands; that the hope, enthusiasm,
and resolves Of the new world - in which
the British Commonwealth nations play so
large part - must inspire the new organi-
z; ton
To which We add that in addition to the
fundamentals he mentions, the United Nations
Organization, if it Is actually to be the in
strument Of world peace, must have sound
teeth and strong jaws and willingness to
clamp down hard on my budding movement
that threatens the security of any member
nation. Lack of molars killed the league of
Nations. The same deficiency must not again
leave the world at the mercy of agressors.

If the advance were granted the loss natu-

nitely on this basis without exhausting their

When this loss was reveal led a CLIO spokes-
man announced that even if the company

then the men would not be strikers but out

Little benefit would be gained by moving

reason to think it will, there will be need IN
a few years for still more room and an ID
dition to the present building would forever

If the city's business is ever to be adequate
ly housed under one roof, it could be done
by constructing new City Hall on another
site and surrendering the present quarters to
the library part of which could be utilized

to music.

U.S.. ISSUES BIDS
FOR TRADE MEET

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-tA-
The United States today invited
IA countries to a conference next
spring dedicated to the. reduction
of world trade barriers.
A State Department. announce
ment said the aim is to negotiate
tariff reductions and 'to prepare
projects for consideration" at later
general international conference on
trade and employme1i. tentatively
scheduled for next summer.
Countries invited to sit in on the
talks, which an, official said might
be held in Europe, are Russia,
France, Britain, China, Australia,
Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Czechoslo-
vakia, Holland, India, New Zealand,
South Africa and Belgium-Luxem-
bourg.
Government officials said one
of the major tass confronting the
participants would be to begin the
actual reduction of empire trade
preferences-a policy agreed to by
the United States and Britain dur
ing their recently concluded trade
and financial conversations.
The United States will seek to
negotiate reciprocal trade agree.
ments with nations not yet covered
by such. pacts and, to modernize
and and renegotiate existing agree
ments. @
"Those invitations have just
been sent, and there has not yet
been time for any of the countries
concerned TO reply to them,'' the
announcement said.
The State Department stressed
however that if and when the ma
tons invited accept 'the usual
formal notice of intention to nego-
tiate trade agreements will be pub
lished" and hearings will be held
in the United States to determine
what the American offer to these
nations should be.

TORY, by FaWn M. BrOdle
Knopf SN.
Joseph Smith, businessman,
drinker, wrestler, politician and,
the author c a i'm S, a husband
many times over, is the subject
of this biography.
Mrs. Brodie had the advantage
of working with extremely color
full and dramatic material. But
she has made the most of it; she
documents her findings with schol-
arly thoroughness and then lets us
have the story raw and strong
right in the face, as it were. It's
like something followed tensely
across the footlights, and every
curtain is thrill.
If Latter-Day Saints . they
number 1000, 900 dislike some
of the things she says about Smith,
Americans regardless of religious
beliefs will dislike, will indeed be
shocked by what they learn about
themselves, or their ancestors,
who in Illinois and Missouri perse-
cuted the seer and his hapless peo-
pie with an unbelievable ferocity.
The lay reader will be interested
in the facts about Smith: birth in
Vermont, removal to upper New
York state, search for treasure
with the aid of magic, the Book
of Mormon and its. authorship, the
settlements in Independence and
Far West and Nauvoo, run-ins
with the law, presidential cam
paign, belief in plural marriages
despite Smiths first wifs's objec-
tons -. Mrs. Brodie says Nor

get the magnificent immoderation

as biography but also as

Would Be Different

While reading recent days news we found
oursef unaccountably interested by &, couple
Of inconspicuous news items. And not only
interested but encouraged. One informed the
reading public that General Jacob Coxey,
at 81, had staged another march on Wash.
ington The second stated that the Duodecinlal
Society Of America, h,ving successfully rid
den out the war, had got around to making
Its annus' awards for 1914 and 1945.
General Coxey, we read, hadn't taken a
so00-man army Of the unemployed with him
this time, g he did 81 years ago. In fact,
his current trip to Washington had nothing
10 do with unemployment. It was undertaken
to make Congress more conscious Of its
powers, under the Constitution, ito coin
money, regulate the value thereof. and of
foreign coin, and fix the standard of WEIGHTS
and measures
Some OF the ultimate goals Of this one-man
invasion seem to slude the general himself.
But he seems to believe that a Congress fully
awake to these monetary powers might do a
lot OF good and maybe solve quite a few
problems.
The Duodecimal Society, which we don't
pretend to understand fully, also seems to be
interested in weights and measures, among
other things. However, it wants the weighing
ind measuring to be done on a basis of -.
like when you buy eggs or doughnuts 1t
would also like to see the world do its arithne-
tic and pursue the pure and applied sciences
by counting in twelves instead Of tens
The Duodecimal people don't come right ont
and say SO, but you can sense their feeling
that the adoption Of their system would do a
lot Of good and solve some problems too.
For Whlle we were puzzled as to why
these little stories should interest and en-.
cours &c us. Finally we decided that it was
their fresh, if slightly cockeyed, approach to
the worlds troubles.
