few positions available in normal times that do not set 8 minimum of hi ghschool education for appli- cants. Boys or girls who shortsight- edly quit school prematurely to work frequently live to regret 1t.
 One does not expect to find an old head on young shoulders, and in this drive to get boys and girls back to school parents should exert full pressure. It may be nice to have boy or girl bringing in a weekly pay envelope, but the ultimate cost in lost opportunities far outwelghs that temporary gain. Nor is there any longer the strong appeal of war pro- duction to justify such employment. Manpower shortages no longer exist, and employers are fully justified in adding their counsel to that of par- ents in seeing that every boys or girl under eighteen who would pro- fit from further schooling does so when school doors open in Septem- ber.

AN AID TO TRADE
(New York Sun)

(New York Sun)
 After an interval of three and a half years the listing of foreign buyers now in this country and of export and import opportunities has been resumed by the Foreign Com merce Weekly, official organ of the Department of Commerce. Now one can learn again from that maga- zine that MT. X has come from Singapore in quest of machinery and general merchandise; that MT. Y. from Australia, wants paper making machinery and paper; that MT. z, from Medelin, Colombia, would like to buy moving picture equipment, drugs and cosmetcis. He can be advised that a merchant in South Africa Is in the market for summer suits; that in Bombay there Is a market for secondhand cloth- ing; that a dealer in France wants bakery equipment; or that in Ar riaga, Mexico, 00,000 feet of "huan- acaxtle" logs are waiting for foreign buyers.
 Resun1ing this service, abandoned QIl UIlc u6C4dGdGAJAA VI W0A WAASAA s~Ss foreign trade became subject to gov. ernmental control, the Department of Commerce says that 1t Is aware that many of these trade leads are not immediately susceptible of de- velopment." Many of the items most sought still are under restric- ton for either domestic use or ex- port. Shipping space also remains at 8 premium. But, as the publica- tions says, 1t is not too early to be- gin negotiations looking to further trade. It adds that the re-estab- lishment of this service is symbolic of the departments interest in tie restoration of information trade to its normal private channels at the earliest possible moment, consistent with the best interests of the na. ton. The resumption of the listing of opportunities Is an important aid to this end.

BURTON w. WALKER ANSWERS DEMOCRATS EDITORIAL
 ON UNIFORMS

7 September 6, 1945. Editor, Waterbury Democrat, Waterbury, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 Your editorial in Wednesdays edi- ton of the Democrat entitled "Poli- tics and The c. I. Uniform" ap- pears to be a vain effort on your part to bolster Democratic organi- zation that is fast slipping and not near as well oiled and smooth run ming as you would like 1t to be nor as 1t was in former years. It is also possible that you are trying to justify the fact that there was no place on the Democratic ticket for veteran.
 The G. I. you evidently refer to as a possible candidate is a former Republican member of the Board of Fire Commissioners, @ former worker in the Republican party and delegate to many of our past conventions. feel his past Repuh- lican activities entitle him to con- sideration for a place on the Repub- lican ticket, if he SO desires. Your editorial would deny him that right because he wore a uniform and fought for his country. Is that gratitude?
 You would be more help to the Democrat party of Waterbury if in- stead of destructive criticism of the Republican organization you used your good offices in convincing the present leaders of the Democrat party that their anti-labor practices will never pay dividends in Water bury.
 Yours very truly
 BURTON w. WALKER.

BACK TO SCHOOL
(Hartford Courant)

Those boys and girls who have left high schol to enter industry will be wise inded if they heed the advice of the Connecticut Child Welfare Association and return to school next month. In this back-to-school drive the Association has the warm backing of the War Manpower Com mission, which agrees that the primary obligation of youth under eighteen now is to take full advan' tage of their educational opportun, itieS.
 Many youths, blinded temporarily by higher wages than normally would be paid for those with little experience, may be loathe to return to school. But in doing so they will be enhancing their own ernnlovr'"~t prospects in the future. There are

They were obviously good soldiers. Most of those we saw were sentries, and their discipline was ex- cellent. It was likewise unbending. Told to guard gate road, they guarded the gate or road Faced with an unexpected decision, they sometimes were little pathetic, but they never sacrificed their dignity such as they've been, come from the fact that we didn't realize how literal they are how unaccustomed to the role they now find themselves in, and there- fore how careful and metcuous they feel they must be in order not to make mistakes-in order perhaps to get all they feel they're entitled to.
 There is no question about the fact that the Rus sians are stripping Germany. We first saw their Sob- diers at Magdeburg on the way-that IS. we were on the way-to Berlin from Weimar. Their occupa- ton forces were moving south to occupy the place we had left It was a cold rainy day. Progress war slow because that's where the temporary bridge over the Elbe and the narrow by-pass leading froI the autobahn to it was muddy and hard to negotiat with heavy vehicles.
 We were passing the Russian column for milei and were sometimes stopped beside it for as long
 haf-hour due to traffic trouble in both their nn' and ours. First came their trucks. They were pig numbering and funny looking, Next came their tank and self-propeled guns, but there was nothing funn looking about them. Once in while came Icn column of foot soldiers marching
 But at the tag end came caravan miles lcnI of horse-drawn farm wagons, evidently stripped iron the countryside These were mostly great pig oio' fashioned hay Ticks They were halffiiled with hay but the rest was women, kids and household surni' ture. don't know who the women and kids were Maybe they were only giving them ride. But theFt were sewing machines, ironing boards, tables chaitk and even pianos aboard Behind most of the wagons couple of cows were tied II looked like mammoth gypsy caravan.
 But in all this "liDeTating" or looting and t zoe clear up into business stocks and industries need to Do remembered that the Germans did brita job on the Russians first Ths Russians claim theyF only getting even, only taking back what was stcler from them, or sts equivalent lt remains for the Preparations Commission to give the official score,

spokesman rather than their taking orders from him
 This is going to be Jimmy Byrnes greatest prob lem will he despite all his other fine qualities, get sucked in by the career experts who for decades have made speciality of taking new Secretaries of State into their camp?
 For instance, here is what happened to ccrdel Hull During the first months of his administration he ran into a personal feud with Prof. Raymont Moley the brain trlster whom Roosevelt had madt Assistant Secretary of State and who rushed to Lon don for the ayowed purpose of rescuing the Londcr Economic Conference. Hull was leader ot that con ference and quite rightly felt that he didn't nees anyone to rescue him.
 The man who helped Hull at London was tn State Departments Chief of Protocol, Jimmy Dunr whose job 1t was to make hotel reservations arrang place cards at dinner, and check on all pnyNcat aE rangements for the Conference. Dunn is one of the incest most likeable men in the State Department, and simultaneously of the worst reactionaries He makes up in charm for what he lacks in brains.
 But Hull never forgot Dunn's help with the fore malities of running the London Conference. And later when Jimmy paOseo % ontevseo n Se became permanent fixture Huls closest State department adviser It made no difference that Calvin Coohdge had picked Dunn as chief arbiter of social affairs Tn fact, he bacame Hulls most trusted confidant on intricate political problems
 And. as such, his influence was almost always thrown against Russia even after she became an Ally and for Franco Spain, even when It was opv1- ots that Franco was kept in power only through the Axis.
 What diplomatic observers are watching as the chief barometer of Jimmy Byrnes as Secretary or State is whether Jimmy Dunn can take him into camp as he did Cordell Hull The betting odds so far are in favor of Dunn. The newshawks In the State Department press roo whose job it is to watch every move of the Secretary of State, are betting strong that Dunn again will emerge as the fair- haired boy again will run the State Department.
 However. this columnist, who has watched Bynes over period of many years has different opinion. When Byrnes became War Mobilizer. 1t was geneTany reported that Bernie Baruch, his close friend ana political godfather would control Jimmy. But ne didn't Byrnes went his own sweet way, to sucn an extent that Baruch got indignant and went around telling people what mess Jimmy was making O things.
 So this columnist is betting that Byrnes, as Sec retary of State will eat out of nohodys hano-neitnei Hulls nor Jimmy Dunn's, nor anyones. Byrnes VIII rely on his own mature judgment in his difficult job of trying to achieve the hopes and ambitions Of mankind for the future peace of the world

first things first. Maybe they want more background. Just, maybe, too, it's those things they're really thinking of when they ask one of the questions most frequently heard: What are the Russians really like?
 Prom my observation the Rus sians are swell. We can make them our friends and it's going to be the most tragic mistake in all history if we don't. One swal- low doesn't make banquet, nor doee me fast frin make an exnert.

 Tartars. From the time that they're brides
 in their loveliest youth, They're plainly and constantly

 blind;
 I sing 'em, toast 'em. I greet 'em! A question, however, Is loose in my
 mind: Why Is 1t that men never meet 'em? Japan already is making a bid for the pOst-war tourist trade. At that, there may be some mOrbidly curious people who want to go and see where what used to be ain't.
 Secret budget documents in Ger many reveal that Adolf Hitler's in- come ran as high as six million dol- lars a year during the war. We know why he kept his uniform on as long as the war lasted. He couldn't lift 1t of.

 Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King says: We must retain control of the sea and all areas vital to our de- fense. This Is a good time to make such a statement and put it into action; a year from now. as experi- ence has proved, several hundred thousand Americans, at least, would shout that the words were inspired by lingo.

the tangled sken of misunderstanding, through the international jeaousies, the rvaries the clashing interests and personalitiesto the difficult, elusive goal of permanent peace
 Few men in history also have more rounded background to prepare them for being Secretary of State than Jimmy Byrnes. He has known what 1t to battle things out in both Houses of Congress for 26 long years He has sat the highest court of the country He occupied the all-important, nerve rackng job of coordlnatng war activities under Roosevelt He has had experience in every walk of government life. &4
 Some of Jimmy's old friends on Capitol Hill will tell you that he is ambitious, that he is an oppor tunist that he is always out for Jimmy Byrnes, that he undermined the late Sen Pat Harrison of Missis- sppi with F.D.R. Some Senators, such as the ven- erable Tom Connally of Texas and Walter George of Georgia much preferred having cooperative Ed Stet tnius Secretary of State and weren't at all enthu- sastc about having Byrnes assume that office even though they reluctantly went through the motions of endorsing him. They figured he would be headstrong and uncooperative.
 ideally suited to be Secretary of Staeexcept for one defect He has no first-hand, intimate knowledge of foreign affairs.
 In other words, Byrnes will have to take the word of his foreign affairs experts. If they give him the wrong word on certain situation he may stub his toe He is largely in their hands.
 This is danger which always exists in one of the so-caled "career departments of government. It is hard for Secretary of War or Secretary of Navy or Secretary of State to come in green and go counter to the officers who have functioned permanently for decades

 On the street. or soldier level, our relations with the Russians were happy and even hilarious. Their army, as 1t. is lot of jubilant rabble It was strictly having hell of time It was helping itself to the country but it seemed to be operating upon the theory that that was the way conquering armies should proceed, and 1t was inviting us to come in and take what VIC wanted, too.
