 Enroute by air to the island, the 3C0 pounds of mail were dumped in- to specially prepared boxes with par achute attachments and when the village on the island was reached all was in readiness for the through the air delivery of the mail.

Alaska Mail .IsDeIivered in Many Ways

 air transport.
 A recent event in servicing the soldiers and civilians on Nuniyak Island, located off the central coast of Alaska and reached only by an occasional boat, served to demon strate the team work of the Alas kan Department postal section and the 54th Troop Carrier Squadron in performing this function.

smith was among the first in the country to predict a m | shortage and he, Ike other experts, maintains the shortage is not near it's end
 In addition to the present pros poets of a continued shortage in hog runs, another factor has creeped into the situation that will play an important art in the meat supply later this year.
 According to H NJ. Conway, di- rector of research of the National Livestock Producers association, the outlook for this years corn crop is rather serious"
 Weather Hurt Corn
 Due to weather conditions, corn crops got off to late start and the success of the crop will depend considerably upon su bs e q u n t weather conditions and the length of the growing period.
 Additional cultivation of corn may be impossible. due to the la bor shortage, Conway pointed out The situation, he added. is gel. eral throughout the corn belt
 Commission men agree h F while cattle receipts have remained fairly steady. the choice stoci that once was common in the p'.y!nS pens are almost a thing O. the past. Most cattle received today are grade stock of lig g ter weight, and the government takes the best of it, leaving the rest fer general distribution.
 AS a result, Mrs. Housewife, fer months to come, still will have to buy second grade steaks if sic can get any at all.

there is less meat today
 R. C. Pollock. general manager of the National Live Stock and Meat board. said recently that the total estimates of 1945 meat pro- dLction approximate 22,400,000,000 pounds. or 2,125.0o0,000 pounds less than in 1914 And you know low short meat was last year,
 Here again. the reduced 1945 figure is due to a drop Tn hog population and consequently in roduction of pork and pork products.
 There was some hope that the 50 cent subsidy to cattle feeders would increase the overall supply of meat, but Prairie Farmer in a recent survey polled group of corn belt feeders on the question and received a discouraging an swer.
 Only IS per cent of those an- swering thought an increase would be forthcoming; 38 per cent an swered perhaps, a little.' put Al per cent said no.
 Only five out of every hundred cattle feeders polled said they defi- nitely would put more cattle into the feed lot as a result of the di- rect subsidy of 50 cents a hundred for cattle weighing more than 800 pounds and bringing at least S14.25 per 100 pounds.
 A shortage of manpower, feed costs and dissatisfaction of farm CTS over price controls are mainly stock production, particularly hogs, according to Ed Smith of the Producers Livestock commission association here.

Central Press CoFTeSpONdent
 NATIONAL CITY, Ill = Mrs Housewife who read the nearten- ing news that there will be per cent more meat during the coming months is due for sad awakening when 1t actually comes to putting more meat on the fam fly dinner table.
 Such is the opinion of leading livestock brokers and commission men at this home of one of the country's leading meat markets, the National Stock Yards.
 The meat shortage. they say. is here to stay, at least for another four or five months. and nothing the government can say about big ger allowances to John Q. Pubic is going to make any difference.
 There is only one thing that can put more meat on the. table, ac- cording to these august opinions, and that is more meat" Right at the moment, there seems to be little prospects ot increased sup plies so that Mrs Housewife can get bigger and better roast for Sunday dinner.
 Why Outlook Is Bad
 Numerous factors enter into the predictions of livestock men that the meat shortage is not yet near an end.
 The first and foremost of these is the shortage of hog receipts that has been building up until marketing this year is far below the level necessary even to main tain military requirements.
 The shortage in hog receipts consequently creates lack of sup plies that must be taken up, wher- ever possible. by other meats.
 While cattle runs in the pas, nave been at fairly high level the stock has been of light weight and fails to offset the shortage oi pork and pork products, thus ere. ating a two-Way shortage.
 This years outlook for pork anc hog volume is discouraging The department of agriculture reported not so long ago that spring ane fall pig crop of 87,000,000 head i: indicated, number only slightly larger than last years crop O S6,753, ,000 head.
 What is more significant is tht fact that this indicated crop il 100000 head less than the mum Der required to meet actual de mand.
 The potential pork and lard ton mage from the spring crop show reduction of approximately 700, 100000 pounds from the tonnag of the spring crop in 1944, and cut of more than 4,0o0, 100000 pounds from the spring crop o 1943. That is one of the reason

A Key Provision

The renewal of the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act, already ap-
proved by the House, will accom-
pllSh little unless the Senate as a
whole undoes what the Senate
Finance Committee has done in
striking out the provision author
izing the President to reduce tariff
rates so per cent below existing
levels. This provision is the heart of
the measure. If it is not restored,
then there will be insufficient bar
gaining leeWay to make the law an
effective instrument in promoting
postwar international commerce.
In his message to Congress on this
subject last March, the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt explained his request
for the additional authority in these
words: Great Britain and Canada,
our largest peacetime customers,
still maintain certain high barriers
against our exports, just as we still
have high barriers against theirs
Under the act as it now stands we
do not have enough to offer these
countries to serve as a basis for the
further concessions we want from
them. The same situation confronts
us. although in a lesser degree, in
the. case of the other countries with
whom We have already made agree
ments.'
The bargaining leeway. in other
words, has been used up, and if we
want such countries as Britain to
make further tariff concessions to
us, we shall have to make reciprocal
concessions to them, but we cannot
do so unless the Senate resurrects
the key provision killed off by the
Finance Committee. Much will de-
pend upon the Republican members,
many of whom still think in terms
of traditional Republican policy in
favor of high protection. In world
that has grown so economically in
terdependent in the last 25 years,
however, that policy, as Governor
Dewey made abundantly clear the
other night, is dangerously out of
date. On the issue now before them,
Republican Senators would do we'll
to listen to the titular head of their
party.

No Bio Five PurIey

President Truman's diSapproval of
the French proposal for big Five"
conference to consider the situation
arising out of the Franco-Syrian
clash ends all likelihood of its adop-
ton. The proposal had already been
disapproved by Prime Minister
Churchill, while the Arab states,
through their delegates at the Arab
League meeting at Cairo, likewise
look askance at it. Thus all directly
interested parties with the exception
of France, or, perhaps more accu-
rately, of General de Gaulle and his
coterie, believe that the dispute be-
tween the French government and
those of Syria and the Lebanon
should be handled on localized
basis.
This would seem to be the wisest
method. De Gaulle's proposal to in
fate local issue into a generalized
inquiry into the whole nexus of
tangled questions embracing the en-
tire Near and Middle East, conducted
by the five great Britain,
China, France, the Soviet Union and
the United States of America-would
have spelled in practice something
like a world conference. Such con-
ference would have been most inop-
perfume at moment when a series
OF far more pressing problems in
Europe clamors for treatment which
must be prefaced by meeting be-
tween the big Three"-Churchill,
Stain and Truman-that is needed
at the earliest possible time and thus
acquires an absolute diplomatic
priority" From a world viewpoint,
the difficulty between France and
the two Levantine States is a rela-
lively minor matter which can and
should be negotiated on a diplo-
matically lower level.
Furthermore, aside from the gen.
eral equities of the matter, an i'm
portant time element is involved. To
call a big Five" meeting for gen.
eral eastern survey would imply the
drawing up of an elaborate agenda
that might consume months of pre-
liminary Spadework. During that
preparatory period, nationalistic pas
sions in the Orient would continue
to be inf1amed and mutual antago-
nisms would harden. This would be
bad enough at any time. 1t would
be doubly damaging while the war
against Japan was reaching its cli-
max and might be gtavely handi-

Strategy of Delay

The opponents of compulsory
peacetime military training have
rallied around what might be called
a central strategy of delay. For
variety of reasons. all of which carry
little conviction. they urge that the
decision in this matter be postponed
to some indefinite date after the war.
These people may be actuated by the
best of motives. But what they are
really asking for is not delay, but
defeat of the training program.
Some witnesses have told the con-
gressional committee considering the
legislation that military training
after the war would be indicative of
lack of faith in cooperative secu-
rity measures. They seem to feel
that weakness, as an evidence of
confidence in a lasting peace. will
tend to assure peace. But if this
argument is sound it would seem
that we ought to go the whole way
disband our Army. scrap our Navy
and relinquish all claim to strategic
bases. Logically. this is what they
ought bo want. But they do not ask
for it-possibly because we tried that
experiment once. only to be drawn
into the greatest war of all time.
Other witnesses have said that if we
adopt peacetime conscription other
nations might regard that as a
threat and retaliate in kind. The
answer to this is that the time to
adopt peacetime training is when
our relations with other nations are
harmonious. Then it cannot con-
stitute a threat to any one. But
If we wait until friction arises, and
then adopt conscription, it might
be regarded as a threat and GER
tainly would be opposed in this
country on that ground. The tragic
lesson of Guam should teach us this.
If we have learned anything from
two costly wars it is that unpre-
paredness does not pay. 1t invites
contempt and it encourages aggres-
sion. Hitler tried to conquer Europe
because he thought the United
States was too weak in the military
sense to interfere with his plans.
The Japanese struck us at Pearl
Harbor because they thought we
were not ready, that they could win
their war before we could recover
from the surprise blow and complete
our program of armament
The opponents of peacetime train
ing do not discuss these points. They
ignore the contention that our mill
tary weakness in the 1930s encour-
aged the aggressors and enabled
them to come within an ace of con-
quering the world. Instead of meet
ing these contentious squarely, they
counsel a policy of delay-a policy
which has made us weak before and
which will leave us weak again. In
the past the penalty of weakness has
been war: in the future it may well
be defeat in war.

I'm all thy ways acknowledge
Him and He shall direct thy
paths. Proverbs, iii, 3:6.
There is line in Dante reading:
I'm Thy will is our peace" This has
meaning for us as we seek to pos
sess within ourselves a quality of
spirit equal to the demands and ten
sions of living. Likewise, it points
us to Him in whose ways are the
pattern Of the desired and longeo!-
for peace among nations But the
phrase "the will of God" may fall
easily from our lips and mean little
in our lives. Since Gods will is so
consequential for the life of man,
we must seek to understand more
about it.
Consider in part what we mean by
the will of God. A great deal is
heard today of the beam-being on
the beam; being off the beam. The
beam is used to direct the fight of
planes. A pilot seeks to keep his
course on the beam. If he gets too
lar OH That directing beam, a buzZer
sounds in his ears. 1t says to him:
Keep on the beam and you will get
to your destination in peace
Gods will is like that directing
beam, Keep your life and the life of
men on its path and you find peace.
Wander from it and Immediately you
are in grave peril-pern of losing
your way, peril of crashing, peril of
death. Jesus put at the center of
the prayer He taught: Thy will be
done"
y 4
The question which follows is:
How am I to know Gods will?" A
pilot receives long and intensive
training, SO that he can recognize
and get on the directing beam. If
men are to have knowledge of
