Russian Parable

This is retelng of the wryly humorous story about Mr. Byrnes MT. Molotov, and their brief discourse on repeating because believe is excellent digest of present practices in international relations.
 It is really twopar story. In the first MT. Byrnes, who had given Mr. Mootov some whisky, asked him why he didn't drink it. and added the remark that vodka much stronger Mo- said MT. Molotov, vodka wasn't
 Then MT. Byrnes pointed out that MT. Molotov had made him drink three vodkas the night before Whereupon the Russian minister, without comment took small sip of the whisky.
 The second part concerned Mr. Byrness joking sugges ton that the foreign ministers should meet every night at o'clock after cocktail party beginning at 6:3O Then he remarked, they might things. MT. Moloov gave the suggestion careful and serious consideration Then he answered. "Yes, but should have the conference at o'clock.
 Whether that story true in every incident true spirit No who has followed the troubled of the Paris conference doubt it. In fact think belongs among the instructive tales of some modern Aesop prime example of Russian diplomatic technique It might be called Compromise Over Cocktails or The Parable of the Three Rockers of Vodka
 it isn't beaboring the point, Mr. Byrness three vod- kaS typical of American gestures of good will to- ward Russia Mr. Molotovs initial refused to make simi lar gesture is also typical painfully And do not think impossible that MT. Moloov may have reasoned along these lines:
 Mr. Byrness insistence that he drink the whisky was simply another example of the western powers trying to impose their will Russia and disregard Russas egiti mate interests Wasn't clear that he didn't want the whisky?
 Of course he'd drink it rather than cause an inerna- tiona incident. But that remark about vodkas being stronger ridculous-just another attempt beltte Russian institutions and the Russian way of life.
 What about Mr. Byrness three vodkas? We'll MT. Mootov might have reasoned that he liked vodka Russia Byrnes should accept it gladly Whisky? That was diff ferent matter entirely.
 Such line of reasoning typical of Russian egy in many serious matters And the remarkable thing that MT. Molotov did consult with Moscow be- tore replying to Mr. Byrness peasantres Russian dplo mats minds just seem to work that way.

Hoover sat in the White House watching the bonus army of veterans daily grow larger until it reached the unruly total of 10000 men, and finally was driven out of the city by General Macarthur, leaving @ black mark against the Hoover admins tratiOn never to be lived down.
 As Roosevelt came into office, bonus army vet erans continued to enter Washington But F.DR, without any fanfare, sent them to Ft Hunt Va, where they were fed, clothed and sent to areas where work was most available.
 Tn handling the threatened coal strikes, Roose- velt also tried to meet the issue before it met him Sixty days in advance of the contract osadnne- 4, one of his strongest Cabinet members, start knock ing Lewis and the mine operators heads together. And at one time he was all set to go on the raoio with the most scathing denunciaton Lewis had ever received, when John L., tipped off in advance yeid- ed.
 Roosevelt, of course, had the full force of mo strikes in wartime" behind him. Truman didn't However not only did Truman delay intervention between the warning incorporation factions, but neglected all the many steps he could have taken, both to soften the coal miners and cut the ground out from under Lewis
 Last Autumn, for instance when Lewis pulled his aortive strike to recognition of the fore- mems union Tckes advised Truman that Lewis was on sl1aky ground that his miners weren't behind him. that then was the time to weaken Lewis by Ickes knew the miners already were struggling back to work, would welcome a plea from the White House. They had sympathy for foremen's union. But Truman didn't act.
 Ickes also urged that the two government-owneo pipelines built during the submarine crisis to bring oil to the Atlantic coast, to be turned into natura gas lines to tap Texas gas fields. For gas competi tion against coal is what Lewis fears most.
 Two applications from reputable groups to buy these pipelines have been on file with the Fedora Power Commission, but nothing has happened. Whil it would take some time to get the pipelines oper ating, not one preliminary move has been made. Ever the threat to open these lines would send shiver down John L. Lewiss back.
 Finally the miners have a legitimate grieyanc regarding mine safety never have they been abl; to get satisfactory safety law passed by Congress In his Aprivate conferences, Truman has taken tho position that this must be worked out by the oper- ators and the miners; but n instead of waiting for this, he had urged Congress to pass a mine safety law he would have pulled the rug from under one of Lewis's best arguments.

DOUGLAS FOR CHIEF JUSTICE?
(Portland Oregonian)

tPortland Oregon1an)
 President Truman, we believe, will appoint Justice William O. Douglas to the chief justiceship.
 That opinion is reached, of course, only on the basis of the logic of the situation. And the President, being absolute so far as the ap- pointment is concerned, except for Senate confirmation, there is no certainty that he will conform with logic. He hasn't always.
 However, there is no reason to think that anything but the best of relationships exist between MT. Truman. and MT. Douglas. Nor do We have reason to think that MT. Truman has any personal friend- ships in regard to this appoint ment, or that he would permit such friendships to sway him even if he did have them. Consequently, the people look for an appointment intended to satisfy the country and strengthen the position of the ad- ministration. And in these par ticulars there is no use trying to get around the arguments in favor of MT. Douglas.
 He was the co-choice with MT. Truman for the presidential nomination when MT. Roosevelt served notice on the Democratic convention in Chicago in 1944. Ex- cept for his unwillingness to leave the court and become involved, he might well be the president today. And it is beyond question that a large part of MT. RooSevelt's per- sonal followers - perhaps the great maJority-look upon him as the man in public life who holds most ruggedly and intellegently toward the directions. if not the admin istrative processes, of the New Deal. There can be no doubt that so far as the great body of the Democratic party is concerned, as that party has been constituted, he would be the most applauded of all possible choices.
 Then there is MT. Truman's per- Sonal problems. There is still AAO CACdI AAuACdGlO1l as to WIleCQer he desires to run for reelection or step out. But it has to be one or the. other; and, regardless, the elevation of MT. Douglas would be politically wise. If MT. Truman decides to run, then MT. Douglas as chief justice, and Truman ap- pointee, would not consider it ethi- cal. But if MT. Truman decides not to run, what would be more logical for him than to call upon the chief justice? And, of course, by virtue of his office, MT. Doug last prestige would then be de- veloped to the full.
 Only one political reality mili- tates against MT. Douglas. He is the victim of his would-be friends Every time he is mentioned for

NOT FEEDING EUROPE, BUT THE PROPAGANDA MILL
(New York Sun)


 Fresh restrictions imposed on the distilling industry by the Secretary of Agriculture make grist for the mills of die-hard prohibitionistS, because those restrictions have been linked, without justification, to the supply of food to Europeans on short rationS. In one of its most productive years the distilling in- custry used sixty-nine ten-thou- sandths of 1 per cent of the wheat supply. Of all grains distillers use about 1 1-2 per cent of the total supply and this use includes the consumption of corn unfit for human use. What is more, all but the starch content of the feed, rein- forced by properties of yeast, is used for animal feed as distillers' dried grain-a byproduct in the distilla- tion of liquors.
 The same observations may be made about the brewing industry, though the figures and the raw ma terials are not the same. Brewers use even less grain proportionally; the bulk of the raw materials used by the industry, such as malt from barley and corn and rice, would never enter the market place for consumption by, human beings.
 No wonder the prohibitionists try to make capital out of the situation. The facts are not in their favor, but when Federal officials choose to fool themselves and others with this tilting at windmills, the drys would be remarkably scrupulous if they failed to exploit it.

 Davies was to get $l0OO0 a year in government salary, and Standard of California was to kick in $47OOO more to make the $57,000 which he had been getting senior vice president of the company That wasn't too good an arrangement, but if the general management of Standard of California had expected to receive special favors because one of its men was directing government oil policies soon found out it had another think coming.
