Selfshness and Confusion

Washington today is packed and
damned with lobbyists for n cause
or another, pressure groups, each
seeking their own selfish ends. One
group tries to pull congress n way,
urging this for one section, another
group works in direct opposition, for
the benefit of another section. There
is confusion in the minds of many
people here. many subjects. There
is confusion in the minds of the peo-
pie in the no. towns.
If your reporter has judged the
President rightly, he will not long
permit indecision and lack of lead
ership or a governmental policy to
slow up and confuse the issues now
before the American people and the
world.
During his terms in the senate,
MI. Truman gave ample proof that
when he nee made up his mind
he would forge ahead and let the
chips fall where they may. That he
has this courage was demonstrated
in his stand on universal military
training. Again he showed it when in
the face of a hostile congress he de-
clared his determination to carry
through on the entire Roosevelt pro-
gram. And this reporter predicts that
very soon the President will take
his cas- direct to the people over
the heads of congress.
1t is obvious that the heavy re-
sponsibilities and duties involved in
his job are already wearing on Pres
ident Truman. He realizes that our
economic security rests largely upon
him. Upon his shoulders hangs the
success or failure of the United Ma
tons organization for world peace
and cooperation. What this nation
does. both at home and abroad, will
affect, for good or i'll, the fate of
many other nations and the lives of
many millions Of people, as well as
settle Jul own destiny, for richer or
poorer, here at home, perhaps for
many generations to come.

CHINA:
Friendly Enemies

Once deadly enemies, Chinese ma

become brothers in arms in north

have been employed by the central
government for the protection Of vi

ordered only to guard American
lives and property in the battle zone.
Meanwhile, the nationalist pressed
their advantage with lend-lease sup
plies originally destined for use
against the japanese.
Though fighting ragged Throughout,
the whole northern area, attention
vas riveted on nationalist attempts
to smash into the industrial province
of Manchuria, which the commu-
nists repeatedly planned to convert
into a military stronghold. Early
fighting centered around Shanhaik-
wan, gateway city to Manchuria
lying at the eastern end Of the Great
Wall.

BIG TALK:
treasures II. 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 a multi-billion dollar loan from
the u. S. we're materialiZing.
Aimed 1t helping Britain get its
export : import trade functioning
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 n~ationalized 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 a representative
cross-section of liberal English So
ciety, with professional and business
men, and even aristocrats. joining

JAPAN:
Seek Trade

AS the question of reconstituting
the Japanese economy arose, Nip
ponese officials drew a pattern for
the nations future trade relations
with the world by recommending a
barter system to facilitate immedi-
ate imports of needed foodstuffs and
raw materials. Under terms of sur
render, japan will not be permitted
to produce some of the items for
merly exported.
Under the Japanese proposal for
the resumption of trade, Nippon
would receive substantial amounts
OF food, salt, cotton, copra, coal, iron
ore and non-ferrous metals, in ex-
change for gold, diamonds, silk, cot
ton goods, chemical products. med
ical supplies, machinery, hardware,
and tin.
The problem of recreating the
Japanese economy was pointed up
by revelation that the country had
been the sixth biggest prewar export
er, shipping out almost a billion
dollars worth of goods each year.
Of the total amount, China obtained
the largest part, with the U. S. and
India following.
OF the total amount, China OBJ
tanned 27.2 per cent; the U. S.. 1872
per cent; India, 60 per cent; Great
Britain, 81 per cent; Latin America.
3 per cent; Australia, 2 per cent.
and Germany or per cent. Other
European and Asiatic countries
took 81 and 81 per cent of the re-
mainder of exports respectively.

FOOD:
Europe's Need

AS congress wrangled over appro-
priation Of $3.50, 600, 900 to complete
the original government pledge Of
$3.50. 00O, 900 to the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation admins
tration, and President Truman
asked for another ST, $50, 600, 900 for
the agency, UNRRA officials abroad
estimated that liberated European
countries would need 5000, 900 IONS
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 a daily intake Of
only 1000 calories, UNRRA said.
Though receipt of 5000. 900 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 2,4O0 cows
to southern and eastern Europe,
UNRRA plans additional substantial
monthly deliveries through the win
ter.
Meanwhile, American grain mar
kets doomed upon the prospect of
heavy demand in the coming months,
with cash and December rye a sen
sational leader on the Chicago Board
of Trade.
Cash rye held a substantial mar
gin over cash wheat, what with dis
tillers scrambling for the grain in
view of a shortage of corn and sor-
ghum, while the December future
scared to almost 81. 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,-
600, 900 bushels in the 1914 rye crop
in Europe where the grain is an i'm
portant bread staple, and smaller
supplies in both the U. S. and Can
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 OF
emergency demurrage charges in
an effort to speed up unloading Of
box cars to ease the situation.

PEARL
Code Secrets

AS the Pearl Harbor investigation
got underway at Washington, D. c.,
before a joint 10-man congress
sional committee, intercepted mes
sages placed in the records dis
closed that U. S. intelligence Off
GERS had cracked the secret Japa-
nese code a year before the start Of
the war.
While the early intercepted mes
sages dealt with ship movements,
chief interest conferred in the diplo-
matte documents dating from July

Japan would work for its greater

been decided to set November % as

ment, after which things would
automatically happen" in case
of failure. Then on November &c.
Nomura told Tokyo of Hulrs ulti-
matum and the improbability Of
reaching a settlement.
On November 80, Tokyo informed
Berlin of the imminence of war with
the U. S. and later relayed the same
message to Rome. Meanwhile,
Tokyo warned its consulates on De-

lin WASHINGTON
BY Wolier Sheod
WNU Correspondent
Truman's Worries
Weighing Heavily
WNU Washington Bureau,
1916 Eye ST.. N. W.

A LITTLE over six months ago,
"A Harry S.. Truman took over the
biggest job in the world. He became
President of the United States under
highly dramatic circumstances, and
in the shadow of the nations be-
reavement over the death of Frank
Lin D. Roosevelt.
Your Home Town Reporter was
privileged to attend that first press
conference in the oval room OF the
White House. That meeting won Tru-
man the respect of all newspaper
men present. and stamped the new
President as a man of quick deci-
sions, forceful and aggressive, and
with a wide knowledge of govern
ment. When the conference ended,
the correspondents broke into spon-
taneous applause it had been
SO different from those to which they
had become accustomed for more
than II years.
But now, six months later, there
is a change -. a hardly perceptible
difference, and yet it is there, never
theless. For instance, at a recent
conference, announced beforehand,
as is the new custom =. the Presi-
dent seemed tired. He still had that
quick almost ingratiating smile
he still stood behind his desk as the
reporters fired their questions at him
and he still answered them readily
and decisively !. but it seemed to
this reporter that he was inclined
more to weigh his words . . that he
was more ready to pass along the
responsibility for his W For
instance, he would say, 'the state
department is considering that ques-
ton" or, Il may have something on
that within a few days." or Wash
ington wouldn't be Washington
without all kinds of rumors."
He was still fortnight, but he ap-
peared to have learned to be more
careful in his answers, and to meas
ure the effect Of his words. When
the conference was ended, the re-
porters scattered hastily to their tele-
phones or to their offices.

structive use, no advantage would
come from sharing its use. To work
out such safeguards permitting ex-
change of vital information on atom
ic energy for industrial purposes,
the Big Two recommended the crea-
ton of a United Nations commits
sion.
AS revealed by Foreign Minister
Bevin in the house of commons re-
Gently, Britain has expressed deep
concern over Russian demands for
trusteeship of Eritrea and Tripoli-
tania in the Near East, and estab-
lishment of a naval base in the
D~odecanese islands, inasmuch as
these territories lie athwart the
famed lifeline" of the empire
through the Mediterranean and Suez
canal.
Coincident with Attlee's visit to
Washington was the U. S. and Brit
ish announcement that a joint COM
mission of the two countries would
undertake a study of the ticklish
Jewish immigration question with a
view toward easing the plight of
European refugees.
Pressing importance of the is
sue was emphasized by contin-
ued Arab and Jewish riots in the
Near East, with scores killed
and wounded i'm widespread
demonstrations over the ques-
ton of making Palestine a ma
tional homeland for the He
brews.
Because they have been banded
into a league 80 million strong
spread over the entire Near East,
with control over rich oil deposits
cherished by u. S. and British con-
Germs, the Arabs have greatly com
plicated settlement of the Palestine
issue in view Of their stubborn oppo-
sition to large-scale Jewish immi-
grafton.
Taking the Arab objections into
consideration, the joint U. S. and
British commission will look into
the question of whether heavy i'm
migration would upset the Arabs
political and economic position in
Palestine. Consideration also was
to be given to providing remedial
action in Europe itself and allow
ing immigration to other countries.
