Pattern for World Union

1t takes courage these days to stand up and defend Great Britain against the charge of Imperialism But doughty old Field Marshal Jan Christian Shuts Prime Min ister of the Union of South Africa has done that and Speaking at the New York Herald Tibunes annual Forum Current Problems he dared inevitable not only by absovng Britain of the charge but by suggesting that the British Commonwealth might serve as pattern for world government
 As soldier of the old Transvaal Republic Marshal Shuts fought British imperialism half century He fought it to the end of the Boer War which he maintains also marked the end of aggressive British expansion.
 Five years after the Boer War the marshal reminded his audience Britain gave full segovenment back to the Boer republics British history since has recorded the growth of the Commonwealth and a gradual surrender of colonial power.
 Marshal Shuts may have overemphasized the sovereign status of the Domnions The Empire still exists, but it is not the Empire of Rhodes and Kpng Today ndas halt the road to independence seems the fault of India than of Britain It impossible that this generation all the major British colonies achieve sefgovern- ment.

 Marshal Shuts defense, then not an easy assign ment But he made out persuasive case lie cited the equality of all the Commonweahs sovereign states their power to determine their policy and destiny and their common bond of a common crown.
 The marshal emphasized that the Commonweath's com consultation does not common policy, and that the various members obliged to support each other in waras witness Ireland Tn the recent connct put he recalled that these various states cannot go to war with each other without seeding from the Commonwealth and that during the time of their sovereign existence there has been perpetual peace among them.

decision to take off the controls He did it Wednes- day the day the Shoe Fair closed. Molster learned about 1t when he got back to Washington Thursday.
 Because oPA Director Paul Porter had only a short time before made strong statement against taking controls off shoes he had to be taken off the hook. So Steelman had to give him a directive and let tine White House take the responsibility.
 Just haw much political good this shoe business the meat cotton and other decontrol actions did the Democrats is open to question. Probably not much Officials of the White House staff in ne Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion 1ich issued the directives for most of this decon bling insist with a straight face that none of these actions had anything to do with politics. Their story is that these things took place before elecion only by incidence.
 They say further that if these actions had been politically inspired they might not have the effect of raising prices temporarily the Democratic Ad ministration had been angling fon votes it would have hung onto controls as long as possible in an effort to keep prices down.
 Democratic Chairman Hannegan said to fear that the high prices resulting from meat decontrol would cost the party many votes Certainly actions of the administration in the past month have not been in accord with the hold .the-lne policy mapped out solidly last January.
 Prices have risen 20 percent since the old oPA bill died last June 30 Only 60 percent of the omy has been decontroled up to election As con- rols are taken off the other 40 percent further 10 to l5 percent increase in the cost of living may be expected.
 Reconverson people is that the present price con- trol law is unavoidable, as the President said 1t would be And pressure from every side caused the administration to give ground.
 IT that's the way it is, credit must be given to the industry people and the Republicans which may be one and the same thing. for forcing the admnis- tratons hand It was smart politics. Whether it was good politics remains to be seen

Presidents Plight

WASHINGTON, Nov. s-One of the outstanding developments of the campaign was the retreat of Harry Truman, President of the United States and leader of the Democratic, Party.
 Because of all that was at stake, it is somewhat of mystery. This may be explained by later events
 Herbert Hoover. facing similar odds, battled on to the end.
 Harry Truman at the finish stood muzzled-on advice of campaign managers who didn't want him to speak. out for fear would hurt rather than help Instead they put the voice of his dead predeces sor in Ihe desperate eleventh hour.
 The party leaders silence was symbolic of the silence about him from party orators during the whole campaign. He was, truly the forgotten man. They talked lot about Franklin D. Roosevelt, most sparngly about the present President.
 This of itself was indicative of the trend.
 In such a situation as the party faced this year there was need for someone to speak out strong someone shouid be the party leader in the White House.
 But, as the campaign progressed the part leader dealt himself out of issues week after week In trying to please everybody. in trying to be every thing to all men, he came in the end to stand for little to anybody.
 After making a courageous fight for the con- sumer against imitation some time ago, he gave way in the campaign on price controls, most conspicuousy on meat Although on the record against irresponsi ble union leadership. he surrendered to John L Lewisis maneuver which seemed to, be timed for political effect
 He has espoused before Congress numerous social and economic measures. In the campaign in which these were fundamental issues-for he had made them his own program-he was not moved to spaa up for them.
 During the last Congress he tough. hard and sue cessfuly for to implement effective inter- national cooperation. He knew those who had tried

WRITER CAUTIONS COP WINNERS
 IN VICTORY

Editor of The Democrat:
 Now that the Republicans have been elected it will be interesting to see what they are going to do with their power.
 If they are foolish enough to be- lieve that the people have given them blank check to do exactly as they did after the first World War, they are as crazy as their campaign slogans and their phoney cry of Communism.
 The people undoubtedly register ed a protest vote against things in general. They didn't pick the Re- publicans because they had any program. For in truth, the Republi- cans didn't dare reveal what they really want to do.
 They haven't said we want to get into office to protect the eye glass, the vitamin and other medi- cal trusts from being brought to justice for charging the people far too much for glasses and vita mins They didn't mention that they will NOT guarantee workers the same rights and projections as President Roosevelt did. They didn't say that We are going to protect the rich against paying too high taxes, against labor unions" If they had said these things they would have told the people just what they stood for in the past-and how they fixed things for the country to go

 It may have been, of course. that nothing could check the trend against him and his party. The American people seem to want change periodically. But it would have meant much to progressive ele- ments in the party now and for the future, if he had spoken out for progreSsivism They are shat tered and the election leaves them iI confusion
 However the election went-uniess there had been smashing pmocratc yictory-President Truman still would haya been boxed in, as far as his domestic alliance with Republicans. Some Democrats comfort themselves by saying that it may be better to have Republicans win so they can be held responsible
 
 The election served to throw in bold relief what has happened to the Democratic Party.
 It is no longer the fighting progressive political instrument that MT, Roosevelt created and held to- getner longer than might have been expected. This change or complexion due partly to the fact that under PresiAent Truman the conservatives gradual moved in and took over direction of the party here at the top, in the Cabinet and among his advisers. Dynamic New Dealsm disappeared

A Wise Silence

Secretary of State Byrnes and Senator Vandenberg poyed that handy political phrase, "No comment" very wisely it us when they asked to comment Henry Waaces charge that Vandenberg and the military have been needing MT. Byrnes into risking with Russia
 That is how the former Commerce secretary views bi- partisan foreign policy approved by the President and it is evident by the majority of Americans He offered facts specific accusations It strictly the personal opinion of Private Citizen Wallace which, Mr. Byrnes said he has right to express.
 But the charge of those Have you stopped beating your wife things which if answered might have disrupted this countrys united front foreign policy.
 The principals refusal to comment, however forestaed any immediate possibility that Private Citizen Wallace could show the world another such damaging and embarrassing division Secretary of Commerce Wallace succeeded in creating with his Madison Square Garden speech.

High Cost of Chaos

In recent series of articles Gin this paper S. Burton Heath spelled out of the costs of postwar industrial upheavaoss of pay by idle workers which increases will not repay for years loss of profit by industry loss of soreyneeded goods to consumers. Now comes Charles E. Wilson, president of General Motors to add other item on the bill
 in article in Golfers magazine called You've Got to Make Profit" Mr. Wilson computes part of the General Motors strike losses in taxes The corporation originally estimated that reconverson would cost about postwar year to avoid using the carryback provision of the wartime tax law, which credit the profits taxes of converted industries that might be used to the cost of reconversiop in the first postwar year.
 But says Mir. Wilson, it cost $lO000OO00 to keep the company going during the nproductve strike period That and subsequent delays have raised the estimated sion cost to $75OOO0OO0 GM has borrowed $l25OOOOOO and will have to accumulated reconverson funds and yet undetermined millions of carry-back credit.
 That carry-back is of tax money that would have been paid reconversion had been speedier Doubtless ether similar will be employed by other companies for similar It all adds up to lot of taxes that haven't been paid but will have to be paid day by youknow who, commonly referred to as little John Q.

Your Health
By WILLIAM BRADY. N. D.

Here is the pattern on which any one over eighten years of age may build his or her own correc- tive vite diet. AS it stands it is a good reduction diet for any one over eighteen. Incidentally, in my opinion it is dangerous for a child to attempt to reduce by dieting un- less he or she is under the constant care of a physician.
 Breakfast
 Glass of orange juice or better, the oranges-l00 calories.
 Two eggs cooked as you like l66 calories.
 Fresh fruit in seasOn-sO calo- ries.
 Glass of milk-l60 calories.
 One-third head of lettuce - l6 calories.
 Tablespoonful of oil dressing or maynonnaise-93 calories.
 Two fresh vegetables-80 calories.
 Two glasses of milk-320 calories.
 Fresh fruit in season-80 calories.
 Dinner
 Meat-l90 calories.
 One-third head of lettuce - IS calories.
 French dressing or mayonnaise- 93 calories.
 Two fresh vegetables-sO calor- ies.
 Pat of butAr-95 calories.
 Glass of milk-l60 calories.
 Frensh fruit in season-80 c ories.
 Handful of nuts-l40 calories.
 Cheese-90 calories.
 That adds up to approximately 2250 calories a day. with a leeway of a couple hundred calories more or less.
 Don't try to count the calories accurately-unless you measure and weigh out each item and each in- gredient or component of the item, as in a scientificlaboratory study, you can make only a rough esti- mate of the caloric volue of your diet in any case. by assigning to each item a round number for the average serving.
 When Mrs. F. P. R. told us here the other day that she had lost six pounds in five weeks on this basic health or yite, a lot of dizzy-I mean many gullible readers prob ably lost interest. What, only six pounds in five weeks? That's far too slow to suit the fancy of the naive.

 Among. several footnotes to his- tory written in the course of Tues days balloting was a final decision here in Connecticut on three pro- posed constitutional amendments that had already been voted on by most Of the State, including all the large cities. Ten towns cast hteir votes in favor of the modest rise in the salary of our State legisla- tors from $500 to $500, and for a companio1 proposal that the Lieu tenant-GoveTLcr-elect should suc- ceed the GoEerror- -elsct if the lat- ter were to die before his inaagura- Both these suggested amendments had already won support among the communities that voted on them last year.
