A Thought For Today
Food-Too Little and Too Late

It is not likely that any active politician would have dared propose did Herbert H. Lehman retiring director general of NRRA that compulsory Tatonng be remposed in this country help feed Europe hungry people, It IS less likely that the proposal will be acted upon If it were there would probably unbecomng storm of protest not pleasant to witness. That is not atterng thing to say about the American people, Perhaps it is unfair Yet quick glance about reveals uncomforaby ample supply of support for that statement.
 As people to have learned little from the war We have made an and deliberate effort to forget it quickly possible That is natural reaction but in the light of and political obligations it is neither very humane very wise We suffered little during the war; compared with the people who allies Since the ended have not been entirely unmndfu of this or ungenerous toward them But help has been far short of sacrifice.
 In broadcast the of his departure for Europe Herbert Hoover asked each American family to imagine that of the helpless and hungry women or children o Europe invisible guest at it's table and to put aside enough feed that guest the family naturally would feed neighbor who helpless and hungry.
 That was difficult request Most of us instnctVely help neighbor in time of trouble. But remote are from the physical evidence of Europe anguish it requires
 real effort realize and admit it's existence and to do something about it. That be one reason why Mr. Len that voluntary not enough and that food has moved into civilian consumption channels it is too late to recapture it for shipment abroad.
 It would be of nations proudest evidences ot charity kindlineSs if submit again to the mild self-dena of raonng in the knowledge that we should thereby be saving human lives and health But who say that the reestablshment of ratonng would not bring return of grumblng and of back-marketng In an aggravated form? It also would probably raise question of legitimacy: How could be- if rationng re- turned that UNRRA would do its part of the job with zeal untainted by jealousy and pocs And how could we be that the answer would be accurate?
 The operation of UNRRA is vast and complicated, There have been cloudy and confusing claims of neciency and bad fah-some malicious others arising from honest doubt There have been cloudy and conflicting replies Thus the sad story ends with the sad moral that in spite of long and elaborate preparation help still be too little and too lae And for all the noble and selfish effort being put forth it appears that of the neghbors in this shrinking world will eat immoderately we'll while others starve

taking since the end of the war, by their attempts to confuse issues to the end that people will be divided. In democratic country invite this since have freedom of speech and political action and the only effective resistance we have to it-and 1t i5 mighty one-is the strength of our own free institutions.
 It would seem logical if are to cure our ills and meet the needs of a changing economy and thus preserve institutions in their strength that measures must be considered in the light Of their contribution to systems strength It is no time to be frightened by shouts of communism" and "social- ism. Clear thinking is needed.
 Nor is 1t helpful when groups in Congress who clamor most about communism adopt the tactics of Communists as. for example, they are doing now in connection with the bill before the Senate to raise the minimum wage from 40 to 65 cents.
 No clearer statement of liberal American policy on this and other issues of the day. has been given than that by Senator Morse (R, Ore0, who can hardly be called Communist Tn a Senate speech he said it is the duty and obligation of repre- sentative government to see to it that minimum economic and social standards are established and maintained so as to protect the economic weak from

No Plan for Palestine

The British to have rejected the plan American engineers suggested for settling the long unsoved Palestnian dispute by the development of irrigation and water power The British attitude is reported to be that the required money could be spent better elsewhere and that the Arbewsh quarrel creates bad atmosphere for the pro- posa.
 This rather lame dismissal of plausible sug gestion There of for the violent dis agreements in Palestine other than the ability of the land to support greatly increased population But if the land could be returned to fruitful abundance way might be opened for settlement of the political and religious disputes
 In Old Testament times Palestine bossomed like the Neglect and erosion brought it to it's present barren tate American engineers who have studied the country believe that through terracng and irrigation the desert 1oud be made to bloom again They point to the fact that Zionist settlers have already made good start in that drec ion.
 It pity if the British, confronted with ap- Parenty nsoube situation ready give up sens ble and hopeful scheme without try.

Views of the Press

I uary and February will be reason- ably certain of accommodations; those who were sufficiently far 1 sighted to have taken care of this summer last summer are all set. But the man who has been prom ising himself and his family a nice vacation" for the past four years; who, has religiously saved against that happy day; and who is waiting until May to do something about it might just as well plan to stay at home.
 Northern New England, which does a tremendous annual vacation business, will break all records this year Tumble-down old hotels which have been in decay so long they have the reputation of being haunted are being polished and fur nished against the expected tourist tide.
 Canadians who have been reliev- ed of wartime money restrictions are expected to spend a lot of that loose cash in Maine and New Hampshire. Why don't they spend 1t in Canada? Possibly for the same reason that Americans like to take their vacations across the bor- der.
 No one has been able to go any where for so long that this will be the summer of the great migrations. Everybody wants to go somewhere else But for the man who doesn't want to compete with the travelling horde; who is prejudiced against the idea of a 300-mile- day drive with no place to sleep at the end of it. who dislikes being gouged at the dining table and the book ing desk, there is always home.
 Maybe a few family picnics; a run down to a beach for the day and home the same night; round of golf on the local courts; a ham, mock in his own backyard-these possibilities are going to become more and more enticing, as he pom ders the bursting of his travel bub- ble.
 For the past four years there have been hundreds of places to go, and no way to get there. Now the facilities for travel are unlimited but there's no place to go.

Atomic Mud -Slinging

a continual turnover of top personnel the lab- oratory and the universities exchanging scientists all the time. Los Aamos today is the worlds great physics laboratory Scientists can be brought in here for research then go back to the universities to teach what they have learned training new men to send to Los Alamos for still further work And vice versa.
 The idea that everything is still under wartime security regulations is exaggeration Dr. Bradbury says Material is being declasSified all the time and reports on nucear physics research being grad ualy released through scientific journals They don't make much of a splash in the newspapers because most of the stuff can't be understood by laymen. More will be released when Congress passes the atomic energy control laws.
 In the light of this report, it appears that the atomic research bottleneck over the past hall year has been not so much military control congression- al ipaction. By monkeyng around for seven months. uahle to make up its mind on the most fundamental principles of government organization. Congress has set back atomic energy development just as far as has the War Department, with its silly hnah-hush ruies.
 The fear Of military control has been stirred ID, in large part by scientists taking their first plunge into the political pond Make no mistake about it, they, themselves have been doing terrific lobbying job They have blasted at the War Department lobby and. under the leadership Of DF.

SUGAR SNOW (NeW York TimeS)

Toward the end of March and during the first days of April, when the sap run has ended or is drawing to a close among northern hills and valleys, capricious Weather Man often scatters a thin layer of snow over the countryside. It's difficult to predict the coming of the last hurries of the season. After a clear blue-black night, when all the sky's candles have been lit and a dawn that brings deep blue overhead with a few scattered white, puffy rag bags of clouds, in midforenoon gray curtains are drawn suddenly and the sun Is shut from view.
 Minute by minute the grayness deepenS The mountains across the valley are hidden, the top of the upland pasture behind the farm house becomes dim blotch against the horizon. Then the sugar snow begins Big moist flakes wander down through the quiet air At first the flakes are few and far be- tween. After a short prologue the tempo increases and the acts move swiftly to the climax. The fast falling snow quickly covers the brown bare patches on the south slopes of the fields and in a few minutes all the landscape is white.
 There is peculiar quality to the light. A white-grayness rests like a blanket over the land. The roofs of barns, houses, sheds and corn cribs have thin clean covering; the RED. box by the roadside has a jaunty beret and the Weathered rocks of the Stonewalls are chain like pattern of white end dark gray. The sap buckets in the sugar or chard catch the snow on their cov- CTS, and among the gaunt naples the old saphouses make softly etched picture in the height of the storm. Then suddenly the curtain is pulled; gray clouds hurry to the wings, and springs stage is set again with blue skies, bright sun and casual white clouds. Sugar snows play dual role; they are the last reminders of winter and the heralds of the new season.

States won every single round It was the first World Monetary Conference, and the man responsible for the American victory was hard-hittng Fred Vinson Secretary of the Treasury.
 His chief battle was over the location of the Tnternational Bank and the stablizaton Fund to be established under the Breton Woods plan. The Brit ish wanted the Bank and Fund located in New York, but Secretary Vinson wanted them in Washington When he finally tried to pin down Lord Keynes as to why he didn't like washington, Keynes replied:
 "1ts too political"
 But during the war;" shot back vinson, when you had large mission here working on lend-ease, you didn't find it too political"
 That ended the debate When the vote was taken, there was only one vote against Washington-Lord Keynes vote.
 Harry Truman and Jimmy Byrnes are now pay ing off a blank check they signed last June. It was check they gave Edward R. Stettintus when they made him American delegate to the World Security Council Unfortunately 1t affects the future peace of the world and the lives of the next generation
 Here is the inside story of what happened: During the San Francisco conference, vvacious George Allen flew out special emissary of Presi- jdent Truman to break the news to Stettinius that Jimmy Byrnes was to be Secretary of State Allen told the then Secretary of State that Truman had nothing against him, but wanted his old friend with whom he had served in the Senate to step into this top Cabinet job | But as a sop, Stettinus was told that he could become American delegate to the United Nations Stettinius asked for A hours to think 1t over then agreed.
 Since then both Truman and Byrnes have re- sreted the offer. Settnius, who Is one of the best- hearted and willing men ever to have served in government, simply doesn't have enough on the ball when it comes to delicate, difficult international negotiations At the London Conference, 1t was noticed that he read his remarks from statements previously okayed by Byrnes or Dean Acheson About the only time he departed from prepared text was when he proposed that the meeting adjourn
 About three weeks ago, Stettinus returned to Washington and asked Byrnes to name deputy delegate to the United Nations, he would not have to carry the burden alone" Byrnes said he would think 1t over; but he did not think very hard For privately 1t is hoped that Stettnius will ease himself out of the United Nations picture.
 That is the inside reason why Byrnes himself is representing the United States at the current New York meeting Instead of having deputy to help Stettinius, "Stet" will be Byrnes' deputy.
 Actually Byrnes would much prefer to remain in Washington and let some other capable diplomat carry before the Security Council. However be- cause of the blank check given Stettinius at San Francisco it's difficult to ask for his resignation and so far he hasn't taken the hint. State Department officials, however, are still hoping.

the economic strong"
 He pointed out that when men in Congress only 25 m 30 years ago argued for the eisht-hour day the proposal attacked "Socialstic" He also pointed out that recently as ls3S, when the 70 cent min- mum was enacted into law "there were in this country great establishments in which the average wage was below 25 cents an hour" He recalled too, that during Senate debate then the 40 cent min mum, members in both House and Senate said this was only beginning.
 Ours, he said, "is a dynamic society. If 1t is to grow and strengthen, it cannot stand still We must move ever forward to higher standards of living for oil our people Such road will not lead to the de- strucon of the free enterprise system of this con try but will lead to it's perpetuation"
 This Minimum Wage Bill is a vital part of the program to strengthen our economy and our system. There is another vital issue that has been confused by injection of the communistic issue This is whether there shall be civilian military control of a+omc energy said that many Communist and Communist-front organizations had come out against the Vandenburg amendment to the McMahon Bill which would set up military liaison committee in the proposed civilian commission.
 Senator McMahon O., Comp thinks that such committee. with the powers as defined. would de- stroy the principle of civilian control, and so do number of distinguished scientists who are deeply concerned about the freedom of science to develop atomic energy So do a number of eminent persons ir other walks of lfe-not by any stretch of the imagination Communists.

close friend and Herbert Hoover was one of Frank lin Roosevelt's bitterest enemies.
 On the day after Hoovers appointment was an- nounced, Lehman recalled to friends the way Hoover used relief for political purposes after the last war and he was convinced that Hoover would repeat the same errors in 1946.
 Lehman was not even consulted regarding Hoov- CTS appointment. The one Roosevelt Cabinet men1- Der who was consulted, Henry Wallace, protested vigorously But in the end he went along as good soldier" under urging from President Truman and Secretary of Agriculture Anderson.
 Even before the Hoover appointment, however, Lehman was on the verge of resigning For months he had been warning that world famine was inn- minent. He had appealed for the continuation of ratoning and charged at inner government con- ferences that the Administration had wept crocodile tears for the rest of the world while duckng ration ing because of political expediency.
 Lehmans experts estimated that another 5,000,- 900 to 100000 tons of food could be exported by rationing and that this amount would spell the diff ference between life and death for 100O00OO people
 Another of Lehmans battles involved the Com- bined Food Board composed of Canadian, British and American members which has virtual death grip on the assignment of food for export Lehman felt that many of its decisions were frankly political and that food was being used weapon to influ- the politics of certain nations not friendly to England. Finally, when he saw he had lost on all these fronts, Lehman, gentleman and loyal Dem- ocrat politely cashed in his chips refusing to issue 8 critical blast against the Truman Administration.
 During the heyday of the Roosevelt Admnlstra- ton, Vice. President Jack Garner gave dinner for the late Will Rogers at which the cowboy humorist, commenting on forthcoming international confer ence, said:
 This country has every war, but lost every conference"

 The campaign is statewide with $l75OOO the quota. Each community assumes responsibility in helping this worthy cause The local quota of modest proportions should easily be met The society does splendid service and last year over 800 were helped.
 Buy seals again this year and aid in this charitable cause In Waterbury last year little less than S35OO was raised This year the sponsors hope to raise larger sum- hey depend greatly on the generosity of the public because the Society ls private no-Vro6t organization.

CHOCOLATE BUNNIES
Boston Post,

Chocolate bunnies, one of the children's delights at Easter time will be once again missing from the scene this year. These delicacies, which made so many of us happy in our younger days, have not been seen since two years before the war, and the situation this year is worse than ever, with chocolate so short and sugar so much shorter. Man ufacturers just haven't the supplies to go in for such novelties, so the best we can hope for is that 1t will be a different story in 1947.

WASHINGTON March 2e-The tight veil of secrecy which surrounded the resignation of Herbert Lehman as director-general of UNRRA can now be lifted.
 The excuse that the former New York governor resigned because of poor health was mere odipomatic
