sumption here.
Emergency Food on Hand.
About 100000 pounds of meat
were on hand in September to 'fill
any dire needs" the Agriculture
Department said. This, it was ex-
planned, was meat left over from
purchases made the first half of
the year. Contractors were slow in
filling orders.
The Federal agencies generally,
responding to a directive by Presi-
dent Truman, discontinued meat
buying recently. This was to avoid
bidding for the available meat and
sending the prices skyward.
Six per cent of the total available
supply-about 314.400,000 pounds
was allocated to the armed forces
for the recent quarter. But this
fell below the quota, owing to the
Withholding of animals from market,
in anticipation of price changes.
No Recent Imports.
The United States has not i'm
ported any meat recently, the Ag-
riculture Department said. Nothing
came of discussions aimed at buy
ing meat from the Argentine, New
Zealand, Australia and Canada.
This country exported meat all dur
ing the war, mainly for relief and
for the armed forces abroad. as
well as to aid the Allies. Recently,
this Nation has not exported meat
in regular commercial channels.
The total meat production here
for 1945 was $4,000, 100000 pounds.
The armed forces got $500, 900 900
pounds of that. The export figure
for last year was 1000 600, 900 pounds
and the same figure is expected
to be reached for this year.

governments in order to enslave
their peoples.
Long before we entered the war.
President Roosevelt took the dollar
sign out of the war. He established
lease-lend as the arsenal Of democ-
racy and opened that arsenal to all
who fought for freedom. Europe
did not pay and was not asked to
pay to build or to replenish that
arsenal. That was done with Amer
ican labor and American resources.
The lease-lend settlements inau-
gurated by President Roosevelt have
been faithfully and meticulously
carried out by President Truman.
We want to assist in European
reconstruction because we believe
that European prosperity will con-
tribute to world prosperity and
world peace. That is not dollar
democracy. That is not imperialism.
That is justice and fair play.
We in American have learned that
prosperity like freedom must be
shared, not on the basis of hand
outs, but on the basis of the fair
and honest exchange Of the products
of the labor of free men and free
women.
America stands for social and eco
nomic democracy at home and
abroad. The principles embodied
in the social and economic reforms
of recent years are part of the
American heritage.
Extend Hand of Friendship.
1t would be strange indeed if in
this imperfect world our social and
economic democracy were perfect,
but it might help our Soviet friends
to understand us better if they
realized that today our social and
economic democracy is further away
from the Observation-Disclosures
philosophy of bygone days than
Soviet Russia is from Czarist Russia.
Whatever political differences there
may be among us, we are firmly and
irrevocably committed to the prln-
ciple that 1t is our right and the
right of every people to organize
| their economic ana political destiny
through the freest possible express
sion of their collective will. We OPP
pose privilege at home and abroad.
We defend freedom everywhere And
in our view human freedom and
human progress are inseparable.
The American people extend the
hand of friendship to the people Of
the Soviet Union and to all other
people in this war-weary world.
May God grant to all of us the wis
dom to seek the paths of peace.

Mr.. Byrnes deplored tendency

He also expressed "bewilderment'

by members OF the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee: ..-
La Toilette, Progressive, OF Wis

vigorously espoused the cause of a
just and democratic peace for
which he and Senators Connally
and Vandenberg labored at Paris.
Every loyal American will rally to
support their effort"
Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota-"It jibes with my
feelings that our foreign policy is
that we offer no insult and will ac-
cept none. I heartily support this
speech by Mr.. Byrnes."
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia. Byrnes is cor
rect in saying we shouldn't follow a
tough or soft policy with any one.
We should follow deliberate Amer
lean policy, founded on sound AM
erican principles"
Sees Steps Forward.
Senator Ebert D. Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah-"Secretary Byrnes
remarks show that while interna-
tional hard words are being uttered
daily, still constructive and contin-
ual steps forward are being made
toward a peaceful world. We can't
expect in a deliberative body to find
arguments laid aside
Senator Hatch, Democrat, OF New

prove of it."
Senator Pepper, Democrat. of

Chairman Bloom, Democrat, OF

foreign policy of Secretary Byrnes
will applaud it."

Must Retain Perspective.
We will continue to seek friend
ship with the Soviet Union and
all other states on the basis OF
justice and the right of others,
as well as ourselves, to opinions
and ways Of life which We do not
and cannot share.
But we must retain our perspective.
We must guard against the be-
lief that deep-rooted suspicious can
be dispelled and far-reaching diff
ferences can be reconciled by any
single act of faith.
The temple of peace must be built
solidly, stone upon stone. If the
stones are loosely laid. they may
topple down upon us.
We must equally guard against
the belief that delays or set-backs
in achieving our objective make
armed conflict inevitable. 1t is en-
tirely possible that the failure or
of the Soviet leaders to rid
of that belief lies at the
very root OF our difficulties. We viii

the suspicion, of alliance with any
Western bloc.
If the voting cleavage at Paris
was significant, its significance lies
in the fact that the cleavage Is not
between the United States and the
Soviet Union, or between a West
ern bloc and the Soviet Union. The
cleavage is based upon conviction
and not upon strategy or hidden de-
sign.
I should be less than frank if did
not confess my bewilderment at the
motives which the Soviet delega-
ton attributed to the United States
at Paris. Not once, but many
times, they charged that the United
States had enriched itself during
the war, and, under the guise of
freedom for commerce and equality
of opportunity for the trade Of all
nations, was now seeking to enslave
Europe economically.
Coming from any state these
charges would be regrettable to us.
They are particularly regrettable
when they are made by the Soviet
government to whom we advanced
more than $4,000, ,0o0, 900 of lend
lease during the war and with
whom we want to be friendly In
time of peace.
The United States has never
claimed the right to dictate to other
countries how they should manage
their own trade and commerce. We
have simply urged in the interest
of all peoples that no country
should make trade determinations
in its relations with other countries.
Not Dollar Democracy.
On that principle the United
States stands. 1t does not question
the right OF any country to debate
the economic advantages or disad-
vantages of that principle 1t does
object to any government charging
that the United States enriched it
self during the war and desires to-
make handouts" to European
