 For generations both management and labor have considered the foremen in the shop arrangements s representative there. It has been the duty ot the foremen to to it that production levels main taned that the front office received full value for wages paid. Under the unionization program, man. agement contends that the foremen would cease to represent the employer, and would give first loyalty to the union and the unions members.
 Heads of the prosperous and efficient business concerns naturally feel that, if unionzaon becomes complete they must install other representatives in the shops and factory lines This it seems, would be only fair and sensible since maintenance of production and the production rules necessary to the life of any industrial concern But if management thus is forced to add personnel to take part of the obligations carried by the foremen, pay rolls tainly will be increased. And with increased pay rolls increased costs-whch the consumer even- tually must pay.
 It obviously unfair to business to ask it to sacrifice all representation factory nes-and that is what unonization of foremen would mean But it would not be unfair to management alone America whole would suffer-suffer through decreased production and increased prices Cincinnati Enquirer

A ONE-WAY STREET

"A OI\E- WA | S REE
 DRESIDENT TRUMAN, REPLYING TO a sugges- tiOn that exchange visits by Russian and American educators and officials would promote better relations between the two countries, said the trouble with the idea is that it IS One-Way street.
 MT. Truman told the Young Mems Christian As socation of Portland Me- which had made the sug- gestion to him. that the United States has already perimented along that line and has learned it is a process of "all give and no take.
 We have been unable to get either newspaper publishers or professors from this country any travel rights anywhere in Russia" the President wrote.
 'The members of our embassy staff are not al- lowed to go anywhere without being accompanied" "
 On the other hand, MT. Truman continued:
 We have had Russian correspondents, newspaper men and professors and great many other people of that nature here, and have entertained them roy ally, but never get a return engagement.
 In other words it is easy matter to flood the United States with curious visitors from Russia and to let them go where they like and what they want and say what they please both during and after their sojourn in this cOuntry-and have in fact done that very thing, as President Truman says.
 But it is an entirely different matter, he iron ically reports when the privilege is cough in be- half of American visitors in Russia
 What few Americans get into Russia at all enjoy freedom whatever of either movement or observa- tion
 They see nothing in Russia except carefully pre- pared exhibits.
 They are not permitted to send any word out of Russia without approval of the Russian censors
 And after they return home, if they express any opinions concerning Russia contrary to the formal pol icy of the Russian government they viciously mal igned by the official organs of world Communism. including the Communist Party in the United States
 President Truman has given the proper answer to the Portland suggestion.
 Too many American groups view the matter of American relations with Russia "one way" pro- position with the United States extending all the tesies and showing all the good will and with Russia avaling itself of all the preferred privileges in this country but granting to Americans.
 International amity is not to be attained in that manner and in seeking do the United States has not only failed to gain to vital information side Russia, but has earned only the contempt of the Russian government which has played Americans for suckers and has been abetted in that purpose by the Americans themselves Seattle Post Intelligencer)

Truman Names Krug

President Truman caught the coun-
try off guard when he announced his
selection of julius Albert Krug to sue
coed Harold Ickes as Secretary of the
Interior. It is reported he did not even
take the White House inner circle or
other of his advisers into his confidence
until Tuesday morning and it is assum-
ed he would not have made the an
nouncement at his press conference, as
he did, except that leak had reached
the Senate, but would have sent the
nomination in without previously adj
vising anyone of his decision.
He would have been we'll within his
rights as Chief Executive if he had done
so,~ but his judgment may reasonably
be questioned on the score that his
chief councillors would be justified in
resenting his lack of confidence in
them.
, There is evidence of at least sur
prise, if not resentment, in the Capitol
as many Senators had urged him to
name a man from the West to the In
terror portfolio, and although Wiscon-
sin, Mr.. Krug's native state, once was
on the western frontier it can no long,
err be so considered.
This, of course, has nothing to do
with Mr.. Krug's fitness for the office.
Mr.. Truman told the reporters he has
proved an liable administrator" and
that it was on this ground he was
chosen. He must have some high attri-
butes as he got along pretty we'll as head
of the War Production Board with
President Roosevelt as Donald Nelson's
successor. Toward the end, any man had
to have exceptional ability to do that.
Though there is some opposition in
the Senate, not to the nominee but the
region from which he halls, he will prob
ably be confirmed by the upper branch
of Congress, and as he is reputed to be
Democrat his strength will not do any
harm when the 1913 national cam
paigns are under way.

Chinese Can Pack More Into Their
Ching Paos Than Indian Can In Ugh

/ Services, whose work, incidentally,
is just as mysterious, however i'm
portant, to me as those Chinese
characters.
The paper Mr.. King showed me
was one he sent to his home here
while he was still in China. He sent
it from Running, which was the
original home of General Chen
nault's Flying Tigers.
Printing Of Chinese newspapers,
as I get it from Mr.. King, is hit
or-miss proposition at best. 1t was
particularly so when there were
so many Japs around and the Chin
csc still insisted on imparting all
the information possible to their
fellow country men. They had some
antiquated printing presses they
cached here and there. But then
they could print their ching pao in
most any old corner. All they had
to have was handful of that pink
ish paper and few characters.
Mr.. King wouldn't make any
comment about the matter, but
the Chinese seem to me to be able
to get about the most done with as
little as any race / know. Think OF
the philosophers they've raised
over there. How did they manage to
get in all the reading which is
supposed to provoke a lot of the
philosophers h u 6 h t and his
musings?
Certainly, man like Lin Yu
tang could read a thousand such
paos as MIR. King showed me ir
little or no time. What would they
do If they wanted to get out a
Gone With the Wind or an "An.
thony Adverse" or one of the other
lengthy tonnes that pop out so ofte.
from American presses?
Maybe their secret is in letting
one small character do the work o:
thousands of our printed words.
I do not know whether Mr.. King
or any of the hundreds of thousands
OF other Americans who became
familiar with China in the past few
years. will agree with me, but I'm
sold on the Chinese as being very
clever.
They can tell you almost as
much IN one cultural as the Am.
erlcan Indian is supposed to with
the monosyllable Ugh"
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-28
see how anybody, including the
Chinese, could tell anything about

I see how anybody, including the
Chinese, could tell anything about
those characters.
That is where you are not up on
your languages, Mr.. King inform
ed me. The Chinese can say much
more in fewer words than we can.
That is why the Chinese newspaper
does not have to be as large as the
American ones to tell all the news
about what's going on.
Each Chinese character may,
with the addition of brusa-mark
here and there, tell whole story.
This is why those three characters
could tell about the Japs sarrend-
ing to all those nations"
Mr.. King says when you under
stand it, Chinese is really very
simple. Hardest thing, the most
difficult thing. is being able to spell
what the Chinese are saying in
English, or to figure out the English
way to translate those Chinese
chara cters.
Well, Mr.. King should know about
this. He spent couple of years in
China with the Office of Strategic
