Frances Coal Problem

officials have hope that the Four-Power
Committee of experts which was ap-
pointed upon the insistence of the
French to investigate all problems re-
lated to the production of German coal
and to its distribution between German
consumers and the liberated countries
might be instrumental in bringing
happy settlement to the frictions arising
from the divergent claims of the British,
Americans, Russians and French in
their occupation of Germany.
There is in Paris growing uneasiness
over what is deemed to be gross mis-
management in the British zone. The
output of coal from the German collieries
under British supervision is steadily
diminishing. This is interpreted to mean
that the Germans have rightly gagged
the weak British attitude toward them
and that they are getting out of hand

Palestine via Germany did. in fact exist
and was attested to by Jewish journal
lsts-and that this migration was partly
political and not wholly the result OF
persecution.
There are bitter factions within the
Zionist movement itself, both in and out
OF Palestine. These are understandable
amongst people gathered from so manv
different backgrounds and Civilizations
But the result of such factionalism Is
Always the same-the leadership passes
TO the most ruthless extremists. George

nlllty IN MS farewell address; Hitler won

The same dangers
But American Zionism holds the purse
strings OF the movement. Without the
How OF funds from the United States
the whole experiment would break down.
American Jewry is also and especially
since the tragic destruction of the Ger
man Jews, not only the economic, but
the intellectual elite of the Jewish
people. American Zionism can count
amongst its adherents two dead and one

Yet, 1t seemed to me, when was In

that this adversely affected the admin

too many of the leading members of the
jewish agency-or so 1t seemed to me
originate. bringing with them their DO

distasteful to them.
Certainly. though violence breeds

This and That
BIZ Charles E. TrdceDeH.

NINE lEEN II = NEIL.
Dear Sir:
"I noticed recently that you advocate
feeding birds in summer
1T seems to me that If this is done
the birds neglect their duty of eating
bugs, of which there are plenty to keep
them well fed.
From my window I see dozens Of
japanese beetles flying around and eat
ing up a lovely wall covering of Viz
ginia creeper.
Birds should eat the bugs instead of
bread.
yours truly, o. A. S."
Birds have no duties, except to each
other and their young.
The fact that their eating habits
often help mankind is another matter.
The fact Is that no amount of sum-
mer feeding Will keep them away from
the insects, because such raw, live food
is natures own.
= The fact that it moves gives bird
an irresistible urge to eat it.
You can't stop them from eating
insects, millions of which they take to
their nests for the young.
All the bread in the world would not
stop this.
Nature demands protein material for
growth. Insects and beetles of many
kinds, including caterpillars, fall into
the NAV Of our songbirds.
This is all to the good.
No one should fear that riding his
hobby of bird feeding, even in the hot
test summer, will be anything but q
benefit, provided he has enough sense
to use something else besides bread.
Bread won't do
Deprived of its germ and bran, and
now even made tasteless by Govern
ment edict, Americas bread is pretty
poor stuff.
Birds fed on 1t will grow fat and
lazy and the young will become help
less, unable to move, deformed and
finally lifeless.
But seeds and grains and raisins and
bits of ground meat make flne bird
food the year around.
BY feeding in summer. many more
birds are brought to yard.
These extra birds, often as many as
several hundreds, where feeding is car
ried on properly, will naturally clean
up more insects than the comparatively
few species which nest In and fly across
yard where no attempt is made to
help them.
ANY one can prove it by for himself
On the other hand, this column has
always stressed the plain fact that
birds have lived for centuries without
help from man and that feeding, as
it is known and done today, is as much
recreation as anything else.
No finer recreation exists, we believe.
1t is home recreation, primarily, and
it tends to develop in those who exer-
else its many good traits and habits.
Let us underline the fact that we'll
fed birds want live food and will get
it, no matter how many seeds they eat.
All species need protein food for
their babies. Seed eaters, as much as
any other sort.
We would advise our correspondent. If
he wants to get the birds to eat up his
Jap beetles. to put out more food.
When they are thus attracted, there
will be so many more of them around
that even If each bird devotes only a
few minutes a day to insect catching,
thousands more beetles wilk 20 down
hungry Threats. More and more birds
are getting the taste for them. Spar
rows and starlings are among the
greatest Japanese beetle destroyers.
Both of these may be attracted by plain
bread, but seeds and grains are better
In every way.

cause they had some reason to think he
shared in their view that, contrary to
British practice, coal from the Ruhr
ought in the first place to be set apart
to help in the reconstruction of the
liberated countries in Europe.
But here is the snag: The British au-
thorities will not allow the committee
with its Russian member to circulate
freely in the Ruhr district and to try
to ascertain on the spot what is wrong
with British management unless the
Russians grant the committee similar
facilities in the Russian zone, where
nobody ever went to find out, for in
stance, what has become of the Ignite
mines in Saxony now under Russian
control.
1t may be that, after all, the Russians
would give the needed freedom of access
to such body and this would be note
worthy departure fraught with favorable
consequences. But were the Russians
to close their zone to the Four-Power
Committee, the latter would perforce be
nothing more than a sedentary BODY
collecting statistics. 1t would not be
able to supply the four foreign ministers
with any new data, and the problem
OF German coal would threaten more
seriously than ever to breed lasting dis
cord between France and England

United Nations can be heard, In the
hope that they will generate compro-
misses and settlements which will bridge
the gap now existing between Russia on
the one side and the western democ-
racies on the other
Undecided In the italian treaty are
the following: The exact frontiers with
Yugoslavia and the Free Territory of
Trieste, reparations to be paid to France,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania and Eth
opia, the statute for tine Trieste gov
eminent and its international port. and
the formula for settling the fate of the
former italian colonies
When the conferees come to the Hun
garian treaty they will be confronted
not only by certain accomplished facts,
in the form Of Russian Hungarian eco
nomic development organizations, but
also by Secretary of State Byrnes' APP
parent determination to break Moscows
stranglehold on that country
Russian reparations are already being
drained from Hungary to such an extent
that the country has been thrown into
fantastic and tragic imitation. The
re-establishment Of Hungarian finances
inevitably will come into consideration
In connection with the peace treaty and
whether Russia will continue to sap her
life's blood will have to be decided AS
1t stands Russia has been taking not
only capital equipment from Hungary
as she insists on doing in Germany
but also has taken the greatest part of
Hungarian industrial production. This
question OF whether reparations will
come from production or equipment
must be decided eventually.
+
What Is done with respect to Hungary
may go a long way to settle matters
subsequently for Austria, where Russian
reparations seizures of alleged "Nazi"
assets Is proving heavy drain on the
country. The Austrian assembly's ac-
ton In Matchmaking 81 key industries
10 OF them in defiance of Russian de-
mands-and its decision to appeal to the
United Nations for defense of its integ-
rlty In accordance with the Potsdam
agreement are but two indications of
the storm that is brewing over Austria
when the moment arrives to settle its
late. 1t is unfortunate that the Aus
trlan case may be delayed longer, but
1t is apparent that no real decision
could be made on 1t until the issue of
RUSSIAN negemony in Central Europe Is
fought to some kind of decision.
The peace conference convenes with a
large number of bitter disputes on It's
agenda and much Ringing on the advice
1t can give the Big Four foreign min
listers. 1t will justify its existence if it
arrives at reasonable overall formula
for peace settlements in the Balkans,
Italy and Finland. Russian refusal to
accept the considered judgment of the
conference will only indict Moscow
again as chronic opponent of lasting
peace.

Siom's Appeal

AS the first nonmember of the
United Nations to submit an appeal
to the Security Council. Siam has set
a good example for the future In
proclaiming beforehand, without
qualification, that it will abide fully
by whatever decisions may be
handed down on the issues it has
raised.
Technically a state of war still
exists between France and Siam,
but there is de facto peace. Ac-
cording to the Siamese, however,
this peace is threatened by sporadic
frontier attacks against them from
French ndo-China. Also at issue
Is an area of some 10000 square
miles of former 1ndo-C Chinese terri
tory awarded to them early in 1941
on the basis of a Tokyo ichy
agreement.
For their part the French claim
that they have not attacked the
siamese but have merely been carry
ing out wholly legitimate police
operations against aggressive ban
dts, raiders" and "irregulars" along
the border AS for the territorial
question, the present Paris govern
ment has served emphatic notice
that it refuses to recognize the va
1idity of the Tokyo-Vichy award,
which was made some months be-
fore the outbreak of the Pacific war.
The fact that France and Siam
have not yet ended their technical
state of war may tend to compli-
cate the case for the Council. Never
theless there appears to be no ques-
ton that the Siamese have pro-
ceeded correctly under the U. NJ
Charter in filing their appeal, even
though it is not the Councils func-
ton to deal with matters that can
be handled through Negotiations for
a peace treaty.
1t remains to be seen what
Frances position will be when the
case comes before the Council. The
French will have the right, of course,
to employ their veto power, but in
view of their past voting on ques-
tions like those dealing with Iran,
it seems highly unlikely that they
will attempt to impede considera-
ton of Slams appeal, especially
since the Siamese have agreed in

Wild Strawberries
We are interested. of CO,

We are interested, OF course, when
an item in the paper reports that
a gardener has raised strawberries
that rival hens eggs in size. Straw
berries are the finest fruit of all,
and other things being equal, 1t Is
logical to assume for farming pur-
poses that a good, big strawberry
is better than good small one.
But like many logical assumptions
in an increasingly scientific age, the
superficialities of the situation
camouflage underlying principles.
Therefore, the countryman has no
hesitancy in declaring that no cult
. waited strawberry has yet been
developed to the state where it can
rival wild one for deliciousness of
flavor. There is a tangy and yet
smooth consistency to the wild
berry, it has much more juice. So,
in the Northeast on Sunday in
July, the countryman likes to take
a f1ve-quart lard pail and wander
up across the field to the ravine in
the upland pasture.
Wild strawberries grow biggest
and thickest on the south slopes of
thin soiled sandy spots. Most farms
have few spots where a man knows
he can get pailful in two or three
hours. Of course, the main object
of the expedition is to get berries.
A man wants shortcake-made of
very short biscuit dough. Two
opened biscuits on the bottom OF a
soup plate, generously soaked with
home churned butter, and then COW
cred with a pint of the well-crushed
juicy berries is very satisfactory
way to end a supper. But picking
wild strawberries is more than
harvest of fruit. It is good to pause
a few minutes from time to time.
Song sparrows carol, brown thrash
ers fly in and out the bushes, a
hawk sails the air currents high
in the blue sky: perhaps fox trots
out, looks, and turns back to the
sanctuary of the woods. The mate
rial harvest is important, Of course.
But in wild strawberry time there
are certain intangibles that help
feed mans needs.

and Gulf Coasts will welcome the
news that a better hurricane warn

has been the inadequacy of storm

orologist to know definitely and ac-
curately the hurricanes course as
1t approaches Florida from It's
obscure West Indian birthplace.
Hurricanes cannot be relied upon
to follow an established course.
Usually they curve sharply north
eastward on reaching the South At
lantic Coast and blow themselves
out at sea. Sometimes they keep
right on across the Gulf of Mexico.
On rare occasions they swing inland
