Peace, It's Wonderful
(The Denver PoSt)


 GRANDPA soon can regain his dignity and hand down that wartime sport shirt to Sonny Junior can stuff that crazyqult threetone outing jacket in the ragbag. And dad can tell the storeman, "A suit of clothes with two pairs of pants, please.
 Yes sir, those minor blessings of peace on the way. The wholesaler has sent out the word and the taller is picking it up.
 Grandpa had to that sport shirt and Junior the patchwork jacket because of oophoes in the OPA regu ltions The garments required just much goods any regular smlar-szed garments, but they carried catch The makers, under the regulations, allowed to kick up the price Accordingly this type made, and granddad and Junior could not find anything else.
 Any offce-going dad knows that with two pairs of trousers suit will last twice long. But that extra pair required extra scarce goods in wartime Uncle Sam said double orders. The question then rises If two-pants suits last twice long, did Uncle Sam actu ally save more goods? For the sake of those seamy shiny sngepair pants it's probably fortunate that the war lasted no longer.
 To the economy-mnded, bargain-seeking white col lar worker, this about twopants suits world shaking as a stock of nylons in womens shop. It means heater dressing on smaller budget, more wear for less money.

Our Stake In China
(Rocky Mountain NeWS)

(Rocky Mountain NeWS)
 THERE IS IMMEDIATE need for a clean-cut author itative statement the official American atluoe toward China It should be made by no one less than President Truman or Secretary ByrneS.
 A loyal heroic wartime ally is being undermined at critical moment in it's history by such speeches as that made in New York recently by John Carter Vincent director of Far Eastern affairs in the State Department
 By inference, MT. Vincent indicated China could ex- pect no further financial assistance from the united States as long much of Chinas income devoted to military purposes.
 He neglected to explain that China is forced spend so much money for military purposes because Chang Kai-Shek is defending his country against Communist attack He did say that the Chinese people could not stand much adversity, which another way ot saying that China might be the verge of colapse-a warning Mr. Vincents assistants have been sounding for many years.
 This kind of innuendo and doube-talk by official spokesmen cannot help resulting in further deterora- tion of the Chinese situation It reflects form Of dpo macy" most certainly not to credit.
 If our government is planning to walk out on Chiang Kai-Shek ought to have the courage to say and MT Truman his secretary of state not of the ond lieutenants, should do the talking As 1t is, weakening the Chinese government by slow poiSOn which is as cowardly as it is unwSe.
 Whether we deliberately kick the props from under Chiang Kai-Shek merely slip out the back door and leave him holding the bag the effects will be the and should face up the issue and be the inev itabe consequences are what want.
 If American withdrawal from China brought collapse of the Nationalist Government, as it probably would the door would be thrown wide open the Communists
 That would add 45O million people to the ever-ex- banding Russian orbit and give the Krenlin pool of manpower dwarfing anything the world has ever known. The implications are staggering.
 We have every reason not the least of which self interest for keeping faith with China and have no reason be apologetc about it. We should back our faith with money and if it necessary to keep our handful of marines there discourage the Russians from coming n why should it be denied? Our civilza- ton is fighting for survival and the contest won't be won by backing and filling.
 But the decision about is of such tremen- dous gravity that should not be delayed It should be announced at the highest policy level, where respons- biity is vested and where we have right to look for leadership and guidance.
 MT. President the issue is up to you Where do we stand?

AGAIN, THAT SIMPLE PRESCRIPTION

PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S Council of Economic Ad- vsers surveying the prospects of full employment in 1947, published report of 26 pages The sense of that report-and good sense it s too-can be boiled down to one sentence:

 percent.
 What about the damage done b,, this coal strike? The health. ws, fare and lives of millions Of neo pie were endangered. Widesp-e,a suffering resulted when thousand, of families couldn't get fuel 10 hea, their homes. Approximately ons million workers were laid off aS result of the coal strike. Have ,,ay no recourse?
 In the opinion of many a.tor. neys, individuals and businesses who suffered monetary and other losses on account of the coal strike cannot maintain damage suits against Lewis and his union. But as a matter of right, they should be able to collect damages. If Lewis automobile struck and in. jured an individual that person would have the right to sue for damages. He should be just as lia. ble for the damages done to the American people by his miners union under his dictation.
 Congressman Cast of South Da- kota is absolutely right in saying that the coal strike should be warning to the country that we should not leave the destinieS and welfare of the public in such a shape that any one man al one time can hold the economic life of the country in his hands. We should have adequate legislation to see that such situation cannot be repeated" The most important job for the next congress is 70 en- act the legislation needed to make impossible a repetition of the coal strike and similar tieups. Whoever decided that the Wine coff hotel in Atlanta Go., needed no fire escapes because it was fire proof should have his head exam Ined. Approximately l20 persons perished there in the worst notel fire in American history. Al the time the fifteen-stOry stee. and concrete structure was erected in 1913 the builders were not requir- ed to install outside fire escapes because the building was supposed to be fireproof.
 Even if the walls and floors are of materials which VIII not burn. adequate fire escapes still are needed in every large hotel. The furnishings are inflamm D e. Smoke can suffOcate and kill peo- pie even if they are in no danger of burning to death. Some emer- gency avenue of escape must De provided. Undoubtedly many lives would have been saved if the ] Wlnecoff hotel had been equipped with fire escapes.
 Highly significant is a statement made by Clinton 5. Golden, as- sistant to President Murray of the CIO, that labor leaders must use their heads" if industrial relations are to be improved. "A lot of peo- pie have come into power" he said in reminding that labor now has the upper hand which manage ment formerly had.

UNRRAAide Describe!
Suffering Of Greeks
AT Press Farley Here
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

A dark picture OF Greece, where
every other citizen is utterly desti.
tute" OF food and clothing, was
painted at press conference yester-
day by Brig. G. F. H. Stayner
deputy chief administrator in that
country for the United Nations Re-
liet and Rehabilitation Administra-
| ton.
Here to report to UNRRA head
quarters, Brig. Stayner, British
Army officer who served during the
war with the American 5th and
British 9th Armies in Italy, told
newspapermen that '1n no other
country were the Nazis more
thorough in their destructiveness."
Outside of Salonika, he said, ap.
proximately 4 miles of locomotive,
and rolling stock are smashed be.
yond repair by the Nazis may bt
seen. Brig. Stayner pointed Out
also that the Greek Ignite mines
and ocean shipping had beer
wrecked by the GermIls.
The internal transport system oi
Greece has been wrecked and thai
is a fsctor which makes UNRRA
operations there extremely difficult
he said. Food and supplies car
be delivered to open ports, but the
main problem is getting 1t to in.
land towns, he added.
To-day" said Brig. Stayner, "some
81 per cent of the entire Greek
population is utterly destitute with
regard to food and clothing. At the
end of June, major Greek indus.
tries were operating at only 35 pei
cent of prewar capacity, due tt
smashed or worn-out machinery OF
lack of raw material"
Greeks, the brigadier said, are
profoundly grateful for American
secondhand clothing and shoes
which they receive from the United
States, Great Britain and more for.
tunate countries.
They are desperate" he said
"for clothing of all sorts"
Seated beside Brig. Stayner at
the press conference was an Amer
ican Army nurse, 1t. Col. Kathe-
rine Dodge, who discussed health
conditions in Greece. Col. Dodge
has been attached to the UNRRA
mission there.
