DETROIT, Nov. Is. - W.R The
auto hungry public can abandon
hopes of buying new cars for 81, 00C
or less until manufacturers get
well into volume production and
satisfy most of the huge market.
The sheapest standard sized 1916
model cars are priced above SLIGO
delivered in Detroit without acces-
series such as heaters and radios.
And prices may 60 higher before
they turn downward.
Auto makers are nervous about
the situation, although they feel
confident of selling all the cars
and trucks they can produce for
the next IL months at least, re-
CARELESS Of prices.
General Motors Corporation, the
biggest manufacturer, felt SO as
sured of the market that it raised
the price of all its cars by 500
this week, equalling the increase
in its OPA application.
Ford Motor company, having q
pricing advantage over GIN cars,
decided to hold the line. For the
time being at least, other compa-
MES are following Ford's lead
with the exception OF Willys-Over-

BAR RUSSIA FROM BULGAR
 CORNERSTONE?

8 Russia never declared war on Bulgaria until the war was over Thus. by her own rule, she could be barred from sitting on the Bull garian treaty commission. What happened was, after Bulgaria sur rendered to the United States and Great Britain, Russia found she was still at peace with Bulgaria. She had boasted to the world of her friendship with Bulgaria but despite this, with the war over, she belatedly declared war solely to have an excuse for dictating the Bulgarian peace treaty today. If the American delegation wanted to be as disagreeable as Molotov, it could raise cain with the Russians right to sit on the Bulgarian com mission. But the Americans remain polite and Sportsmanlike while the Russians yell to rattle the pitcher and argue with the umpire over every play in the game.
 Note-it may be that Jimmie Byrnes' gentlemanly sportsmanship will win out in the end, but unfor- tunately the smaller nations-fear we may lose the game on strikes and unfair decisions before we have time to score any runs.

to the President that of all food distributed from American supplies during the fiscal year which ended June 30 out of every six pounds went overseas, Foreign countries received than 40 per cent of our wheat more than 35 per cent of the rice, more than 20 per cent of the cheese, more than 10 per cent of fats and oils and about per cent of the meat
 Both the President and the Secretary of Agri- culture caution the American people that the time has not yet come to abandon the food-conservation program, however The deliveries already made have foresaed the threat of immediate starvation but the future picture shadowed with uncertainty. If har vests abroad should fail to come up to expectations this fall the continuing food needs of war-ravaged countries will again become critical. Another factor right is price control it may affect food supplies in this country. The Federal Govern ment temporarily has suspended purchases of wheat and other foods destined for overseas to avoid price competition with domestic users The plan is eventually export up 25OO00O0O bushels of wheat in addition to other commodities, next year All in all the need for further food saving to aay hunger in countries still suffering from food shortages mains urgent. Weighed against that need, continued belt tightening is little enough ask of sympathetic Americans

FAMINE RELIEF RECORD

Every American citizen who ate little less, every member of the food producing, handling and serving industries who practiced conservation, all, in short
 who joined in the Naton-wd campaign to avert star vation abroad will derive great satisfaction from President Truman's announcement that America has more than made good it's famine-relief pledges. Uphoding its traditions humanitarian Nation, the United States not only has shipped to famine threatened areas the minimum of 40OO00OO0 bushels of food grains promised when the "belt-tighening' drive was started but expects this month to reach the 417OOO bushel total set hoped-for goal

KENOkA, Ont, Aug. 10.-Attor- ney-G General George F. Barrett of Illinois told the Kenora Rotary Club in an address that Canada should sever her ties with the Brit ish Empire and seek statehood with the United States.
 While there may be those who rebel at the suggestion which I make because of certain sentimental at tachments for the Empire, ask you to consider the many sound and practical reasons why this is the reasonable and logical course for Canada and the United States.
 There is 8 closer kinship be- tween Canada and America than ever there was between Canada and the British Empire or America and England. We are friends and neigh bors not only because of our proXim- ity but also because of the sameness of our background and traditions. '

LAGUARDIA ACCUSED OF
 SHOOTING

It isn't being advertised but Lieut.. Gen Sir John Harding, Command CT of Allied Forces in Venezia Giulia, has sent a hot cable to the White House and the British For eign Office against dynamic eX- mayor LaGuardia of New York, ac- cusing the fiery Fiorello of snoop ing in Trieste. General Harding demanded that the White House and the British crack down on La GuarGia and prevent him from slandering the American and Bri- tish troops in Trieste. In fact, Gen eral Harding even threatened his resignation unless he got full sup port. As a result the British, which have some jurisdiction over La Guardia because UNRRA is inter- national, sent New Yorks former Mayor an appeal to pipe down.
 Apparently it did no good, how ever. It was after receiving the LOnuon appeal that FlOreIlo bOaSt- ed that 25 good New York cops could clean up the thieving in Tri- este. LaGuardia previously had de- manded that the Anglo American troops in Trieste prevent the wholesale disappearance of UNRRA supplies.
 Note-During the war. FDR promised LaGuardia a commission as brigadier general and the job Of helping to govern Italy but the Army brass hats blocked it. Ap- parently they figured they could never handle the ferocious little Flower British generals now think their American colleagues were right.

on balls and steal second too many times. Meanwhile, the Russians are on the umpire's neck, yelling them selves hoarse over every close de- ciSion
 They don't miss a trick. If a bunt down the first-base line is called a foul, the Russians will argue until blue in the face that it was a fair ball. Finally, the op- posing side gets tired of Wrangling and arguing and gives in.
 Thus, little by little, the Rus sians have won so many minor points that the score is already in their favor-even before the game really gets going good. Here are a few illustrations:
 l. Very quietly Russia stacked the separate peace commissions with so many Soviet stooges that she will have the dominant voice on each commission. Each peace treaty will be studied by a separ- ate commission and if Russia con- trols the commissions, it will report the kind of treaty Russia wants. The commission reports will be hard to reverse in the full con- ference.
 2. Molotov put across a ruling that no Allied nation which failed to declare war on an enemy nation can sit on the commission writing the treaty for that nation. Thus Brazil, not having declared war on Finland, can't sit on the Finnish treaty commission. However, two Russian stoogeS-the Ukraine and Belorussia-never declared war on Italy or any other enemy country. They were only recognized by Unit ed Nations at San Francisco Yet they will sit on all treaty con- missions and no one on the Ameri- can delegation has had the nerve to row with Molotoy over this.

stooges only once voted against their masters in the Kremlin. That was when Belorussia got it's signals crossed. Russia can be absolutely sure of the following votes on every rollcall, come hell or high water: Belorussia, the Ukraine, Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. Some times also Russia swings the vote of defenseless Norway, worried sick over it's easy striking distance from the Red Army.
 The lineup on the other side varies. It is significant that the British Dominions frequently de- sert England. This proves there's s real Democracy in the British Elm pire. Australia and New Zealand votes more than half the time against England: Canada about fifty fifty South Africa and India are frequently aligned with Eng land, though not always.
 The most fortnight leaders of the anti-Soviet bloc are Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil and Bel giui1.:.
 Note-The most pathetic satellite in the Soviet lineup is Jan Ma saryk of Czechoslovakia, now nick named The Prisoner of Zenda.' ' Son of old President Tomas Ma saryk. who founded the Czecho- slovak Republic in Pittsburgh in 1918 under the godfathership of Woodrow Wilson, Jan Masaryk $ sympathies are all with the United States and Britain. But with his country solidly surrounded by Rus sia, he votes consistently with the Russian bloc.

Governor Pinero
(New York Times

(New York Times)
 The appointment of Jesus T. Pnero Governor of Puerto Rico is courageous forward step in our relations with that country which will be applauded by thoughtful Americans as well by the Puerto Ricans. The Senate should quickly ratify it. That it obviously the right choce-to give the Puerto Ricans the Governor they had asked fordoes not make President Truman's act in naming MT Pinero any the less courageous Undoubtedly he under considerable pressure to de- serving Democrat to the post That, however, would have been a repudation of his attitude, of that of President Roosevelt and of the l944 Democratic platform. All had proclaimed Puerto Ricos politica! maturity
 MT Pinero, Resident Commissioner at Wash ngton carries heavy responsibility to prove that the trust of the Administration is justified and to fulfill the aspirations of the Puerto Ricans Both will watch the experiment with friendly, but critical eye If he lives up to expectations then further steps to greater self f-government will be made much easier
