DRAFT:
O. K. Extension

Allowed only hours in which to
act to prevent the extinction of the
selective service act, the senate ac-
copied stiff house amendments to
the draft calling for cessation Of
inductions of fathers and teen
ayers.
Passage of the measure extend
ing selective service until July 1
resulted from rapid-fire Bngres-
sional action in the midst il senate
deliberations over approval of the
multi-billion dollar British loan and
restrictive labor legislation. With
the senate pausing in its discussion
of these issues to ok. existing draft
legislation until July / to beat the
expiration deadline, the house took
advantage of the time element to
dilute the draft and force its re-
mittance to the upper chamber for
reconsideration.

ing right now, just what will happen
then. It's still more fun for the old
timers because they know that the
voters who may not love you in the
autumn often seem very palsy in
the spring-and vice versa.
Since there isn't much use in spec
ulating on who the Democratic pres
idential nominee will be, it's more
interesting to talk about Republican
possibilities.
Perhaps that is why, along about
the middle of May, the heavy back
ers of Bob Taft began to be heard
from. Up until then, most of the
talk in the couloirs was how Bricker
was the No. l boy, and how Stassen
mustn't even be mentioned above a
whisper. Even Stassen's own men
decided it was better for the young
man from Minnesota to keep his
head down so he wouldn't attract
any lightning until he had found out
whether his forums were more po-
tent than the against-em's.
Now it's getting to be more
serious fun to talk about Taft.
Taft wants to be President. He
has wanted to be President be-
fore. He is pretty much mas
ter of the Republican Organiza-
ton, but even If he weren't,
Bricker, his present friend and
rival, is more "beatable," de-

DIPLOMACY:
On Dollar Basis

Having used its great material re-
sources to balance the scales for al
lied military victory over the axis,
the U. S. now is acting to employ its
tremendous wealth for the stabiliza-
ton of political conditions abroad to
promote free exchange between ma
tons.
Popularity known as dollar diplo-
macy" the administrations first
open application of the policy in the
postwar period was to Poland and
China, where Communist influence
has been strong and shaped to
serve Russia's political and eco
nomic interests.
In the case of Poland, the U. S.
suspended 80 million dollar credit
to the Soviet-sponsored Warsaw
government on charges that it had
violated it's pledge to increase free
dom of movement within the coun-
try. First, the U. S. said that the
government had censored an Amer
lean reporters dispatch regarding
critical speech made by a Peasant
party leader, and second, it had
failed to publish terms of the U. S.
credit providing for political free
dom in Poland.
Taken back by the U. S. action,
the Polish embassy in Washington
declared that it could categorically
deny that any censorship existed in
Poland, and explained that the
terms of the loan had not arrived
in Warsaw in time to permit their
publication up to the time of the
U. S. credit cancellation.
Meanwhile, Gen. George c. Mar
shall was given full control over a
proposed half billion dollar loan to
China in his efforts to weld the Ma
tionalist and Communist forces to-
gether into a central government
and create a unified country.

WASHINGTON DIGEST
Taft Looms as 1913 COP Hope

spite the good impression he
made on his speaking tour be-
fore the last convention
what with the leftist look in SO
many veterans eyes.
Bricker has a staunch and solid
conservative following. But it is a
little too solidly conservative. Taft
could hardly be called a radical. In
fact, his political garden has never
produced even pale and lonely
pink. On the other hand, his sup
porters prudently can point to many
constructively liberal measure
which has had his blessing.
Only the other day, was talking
with an ardent administration Of
fetal who has been battling for a
measure badly battered by conserv-
atives of both political stripes. I
asked him if he could expect to re-
trieve in the senate a certain pro-
vision in his legislation, lost in the
house. 1 .
"Oh, yes" he answered, "Bob
Taft will 60 along on that"
And Taft has a good liberal rec
ord on such mass-appeal measures
as housing.
The Republicans don't have
to deal with the Old-line bosses
to the extent that the Demo-
Gratis do and in two of the larger
cities where the Republican
machine is vital-Philadelphia
and Cincinnati - everything
would be jake so far as Taft
is concerned. He, himself, is
kingpin in his home state organ
izatiOn d. and Mr.. Pew, who
makes the Republican wheels
go round in Pennsylvania, want
ed Taft in 40 and "A. 1t is to
be presumed he'll feel the same
in '48.
This doesn't eliminate other bril-
liant possibilities, including Messrs.
Stassen and Vandenberg.
Mr.. Vandenberg has done a lot
of the molding himself. This could
work both ways. On the one hand,
the energy and devotion with which
Mr.. Vandenberg has applied HIM
self to foreign affairs, and the pow
erful influence he has exerted, have
greatly increased his silhouette on
the international horizon. On the
other hand, these activities, both in
quantity and quality, have taken
him far afield from the usual polit-
ical approach to Republican presi-
Dental nomination.
It may be there is a niche in the
making that would need man of
his proportion to fill but one Demo-
crat said to me the other day:
Sometimes it looks as if Van would
rather be right than President"

LABOR:
Busy President

Coal strikes, rail strikes and,
demands Of labor and industry are
heavy burdens on President Tru-
man these days. If one threaten
ing strike is settled, another one
is threatened, or breaks out. La
Dor and industry are in an all
out battle, and the President is
caught in between them with the
great mass of American people
clarnoring for action. Congress,
too, is finding the seats on Capitol
Hill steadily growing warmer. The
OPA and the British loan were no
small worries either.
The pressure of the United Mine
Workers, the American Federation
of Labor and the Congress of In
dustrial Organization, on the Pres
ldent was matched by the manu-
facturers, mine operators, railroad
owners and big business and in
dustry in general. Lights burn late
in the White House, and daily Wis
itors to the President are greater
than ever beforel The people of
the United States have a busy
President. And when all the pres
ent zsstrikesz are settled, negotia-
tions for new contracts will begin

INDIA:
Seek Compromise

As result Of the collapse in
negotiations for Indian independ-

for a separate state, the British

In originally making its offer
for Indian independence, the Brit

FAMINE:
Hoover Reports

Back from his globe-girdling fam
inc survey, former Pres. Herbert
Hoover called for additional volun-
tary food conservation on the part
of Americans and also declared
that the cooperation of Russia and
South American states would great
ly assist in tiding hungry areas over
the critical pre-harvest period.
Though stating that he saw no in
stances of actual starvation on his
global whirl, Hoover was quick to
add that available food supplies
were at dangerous low in many
countries and famine would result
if supplies were not replenished.
Even after trimming re-
quests of some countries,
Hoover declared that over IA
million tons of food were needed
until the next harvest, with the
United Kingdom requiring g.

In asking Russia to share some of
it's surplus grain and calling upon
South American countries to step
up deliveries, Hoover said the U. S.
shipment of $50 million bushels Of
wheat during this crop year is an
unparalleled achievement. In all,
the u. S. is expected to provide
4,22O,000 tons of cereals; Canada,
100000; Australia, $4,000; Argen-
tina, 2,375, 1000; Russia, 100000, plus
lesser amounts from the United
Kingdom, Brazil, Burma and Siam.
HOover's announcement of
world food needs followed close
upon the department of agricul-
lures prediction that continu-
ing drouth in the Great Plains
states would cut winter wheat
production by So million bushels
under the April l estimate. The
crop now is set at IA, 1857 900

HOUSING:
Get Going

Welcoming final passage of the
veterans housing measure de-
signed to push construction Of g.
100000 new homes by 1947, Housing
Expediter Wilson Wyatt cheerfully
exclaimed: ''The program now
can be thrown into full gear"
Worked out by house and senate
conferees, who labored to draw up
a common bill from two different
pieces of legislation, the measure
represented a victory for the ad-
ministration forces in that it pro-
vides subsidies of 400 million dol
lars to increase the production of
building materials. Earlier opposed
by the house, the subsidies later
were approved on the strength of
administration arguments that
such payments would boost the flow
of construction supplies without in
creasing the cost of new homes.
In addition to the subsidy provis-
ion, the new housing bill authorizes
the government to increase home
mortgage lending by one billion dol
lars; extends priorities and alloca-
ton power to channel materials into
low-cost and medium-priced resi-
dences to December 81, 1917; estab-
fishes preference for vets in pur-
chasing or renting new structures;
gives the housing expediter broad
authority to order changes in mate
rial pricing regulations, and en-
powers him to limit the export of
lumber as long as scarcities exist in
this country.
