British Loan a Must
By ThOn1aS Stokes

to abandon gradually her system of empire pref erences.
 In this way, the loan and the accompanying trade agreements are part of the whole program of international rehabilitation to which we have com mitted ourselves This by creation of an international rocal trade program for mutual lowering of trade barriers with other nations by setting up social and economic organizations in the United Nations.
 These last are to promote agriculture all the world and more equitable distribution of food, to promote education health, transportation, all the clements of living in our modern society.
 As q matter of fact 1t is these phases of inter national living together that in the end will become political organization is dependent upon them. It is the lack of them that causes wars The reason for international political organization is to stop wars
 The British loan is a part of the whole fabric.
 The United Nations can become a debating soci- ety echoing in a big hall hollowly without these other things.
 We are making beginning on these other things the economic and social council will meet in New York to start its work Secretary Byrnes has taken to the Paris conference of foreign ministers plan to bring together in a common economic system over all Europe such necessities as food power trans portation and coal This is the necessary basis of political unity and Concord.
 None of this is going to be easy because of the state-controed systems of European nations, incud- ing Russia But, as Senator Smith (R.-N J0 points out in urging approval of the British loan unless we help Britain, she will be forced to lean toward the Russian pattern, with bloc training, bilatera deals exchange controls import and export quotas subSi- dies and the like This in turn will force us to regiment our own economy to meet it. and down We go again on the road that led to the last war
 We have a big stake in the British loan.

Generals Talk Peace
By Peter EdSOas

Their interests broadened from this beginning General Eisenhower became advocate for the American form of democracy. Marshal Zhukov was a defender of Soviet democracy. The Marshal crit ici1ed the American brand from his point of view, and Eisenhower had to defend and interpret to make it clear from the American viewpoint.
 For instance, zhukov would declare that the America idea of freendom completely selfish It glorified the individual It told him. in effect go out and get for himself whatever he could and never mind what that did to the rest of the population.
 In defense of the Russian form of democracy, Zhukov declared that the Soviet society was more idealistc It told the individual citizen that his own whole people was more important that the welfare of the individual It therefore encouraged self sacr fice-nOt SefiShneSS Eisenhower had to try to beat down these convictions by explaining the American concept of liberty.
 At another time they discussed freedom of the press primary American ideal One of Eisenhow- CTS greatest accomplishments was in getting group of S. correspondents admitted to the Russian zone in Germany Before that accomplished, Eisen- hover had to explain that the American newspaper men had the right to criticize anyone anything, in any way he wanted to- subject only to the laws of libel
 That took further analysis When Eisenhower got through with t, explaining that one's character could be attacked with intent to injre, the Marshal came back with the assertion that long as Amer lea had libel laws, 1t really didn't have press freedom
 The real Joint of this story Is that close personal relationships at top levels courd stand a lot or duplicating an over the world International nian- derstandIngs between leaders. If all leaders knew eaea othcy better, the resultant friendships might provide an Important first step towards better undefstand- lngs between peoples,

 AS important as this loan is to Britain, our war ally to help her get her feet 1t is just as import ant to US for another reason It is an integral part of our pledge of continued international cooperation International cooperation is not just an announce ent one fine day It is successive steps, day by day month by month to fulfill it.

 In the British loan literally face the test whether we are going ahead or whether we are go- ing to turn back as we did after World War l. It is exactly that If fail in this the whole structure of international cooperation to which our people have subscribed may begin to crun1ble No one needs to be told how tragic that would be.

Views of the Press

of Senator Mead, either as man or a statesman. When he led the Bonnet forces in the gubernatorial campaign of 1942, a campaign that didn't turn out well for MT. Farley, MT. Bennett or MT. Mead, he charged MT. Mead with deceit and said he was not equipped with the stability or the forthrightness to be Governor.
 For man who has been around as long as MT. Farley and has pre- sumably developed tolerance for human frailty in politics this was blunt and emphatic language. He may not be as popular or as influ- ential in Democratic affairs as he once was; but MT. Farley has many friends and they know that the for mer chairman is not given to in- pulsiVe judgments on his fellow man, nor to unnecessary acrimony.
 Perhaps MT. Farley's attitude is based on some deep personal af- front, or on the violation of some basic tenet of political loyalty. On the other hand, 1t is possible that the former Democratic chairman, being an old-timer, is judging MT. Mead by the standards of another political era, when errand-boy ser- vices in the Senate for pressure groups and postal clerks and civil service employees and ingratiating vote-getting appeal were less im- portant than statesmanship.
 Could 1t be that MT. Farley is measuring the prospective Demo- cratic candidate for Governor by the stature of some Democratic fig ures of his own expereince the late Alfred E. Smith, for instance? Time often plays tricks like that on elder statesmen.

time Morse attempted this strategy were Morse him self and Republican William Langer of North Da- kota.
 Liberal Democrat Warren Magnuson of Seattle Wash was presiding Had he immediately asked Senators if there was objection, there would have been none and the Anti-Pou Tax Bill would have passed. Morse had identified the bill only by num- ber so Magnuson did not at once recognize 1t. But to pass controversial bill without debate.
 He rescued from this dilemma by Senator Ernest Mcfarland Arizona Democrat, who quickly came to the floor and objected
 Since then, Senate mail has been strong with letters both objecting to the Morse attempt trick cry and supporting Morse the ground that his strategy was no more unfair than the filibuster.
 Regardless of the above merits, bipartisan group of ten Senators has determined that Senate rules must be changed. They seek to limit debate on any single bill to ten days which would bring up the Ant-Pol Tax Bill already passed by the House, before the Senate recesses. They are thinking also of bringing up legislation to create permanent FEPC-provided they succeed in winning their amendment to the Senate rules.
 The ten Senators are: Democrats-Pepper (Fla), Magnuson (Wash), Guffey (Pa), Glen Taylor Mead N Y); Republicans Ferguson 0Gich), Knowland (Cal) and Capper Kans.).
 This column recently revealed that Ed Stet- tinius, U S. delegate to the United Nations and former Secretary of State, tried to get the State DePaEuHeAI Vo aSSlsA HAIL sAoSC Wl9VeE @O vAe taxpayers expense to turn out @ new book under Stettinius name. Secretary James Byrnes, however, turned this down.
 We now find that in 194S Stettinius undertook to fabricate book on lend-lease for Macmillan's. Stettinius then Lend-Lease Administrator arranged for one full-time writer from OWI to be assigned to him to write the book while two fultime lawyers from the Lend-Lease agency helped the oWI writer
 All three worked full time for six months When the book was published, only Stettinius' name ap- peared despite the fact that the former Secretary of State had actually written only few paragraphs.
 Total cost to the Government for authoring this book was estimated at around $50000 Royalties from the book, however did not go to the Treasury. In-

MIR. FARLEY's STANDARDS
(New York Herald-Tribune)


 Elder statesmen in American pol itics are traditionally supposed to develop a mellow, philosophic atti- tude toward public affairs and hold themselves aloof from the clash of personalities. MT. James A. Farley kept his observations on a fairly broad, academic level when he talked to reporters in his Madi- son Avenue office the other day, yet 1t was quite clear that his warn ing against nasty action in select ing a Democratic candidate for Governor and his review of the qualifications for that office were directed against the candidacy of United States Senator James M. Mead.

visit to Russia. And when Eisenhower left Germany to return to Washington as chief of staff he made an agreement with Zhukov to continue their com- radeship-in-armS.
 The result is that the two top field commanders in Europe now keep up lively exchange of letters. This correspondence is probably one of the health- est influences in existence for promoting good US- USSR. relations
 This close association was not formed easily or quickly When Eisenhower and Zhukov first met in Berlin the Russian always had to be accompanied by his political adviser. Gradually this formality was broken down. Political advisers were left out, and frequently the two supreme commanders con- ferred on their own.
 The toplcs which Eisenhower and zhukov dis- cussed apparently covered everything At first they stuck to the business at hand, which vas governing Germany. But they were professional soldiers with mutual respect of each others abilities, and they had that common ground to start On Marshal Zhu- kov explained Russian tactics 70 the American, and General Eisenhower explained American tactics to the Russian.

BREAK FOR FATHER
Boston Post)

Thanks to modern chemistry, it seems, father need no longer worry about getting caught in the rain with his straw hat. A new kind is being introduced that has been treated with a water repellent com pound. This will save father, when an unexpected shower comes along, from deciding whether to save the hat but risk pneumonia by tucking 1t hastily under his coat, or leave the headpiece exposed to the ele- ments. It sounds like just the thing for our cratic New England weather.

FRANK COLBY.
What's the Oripino

@. How did the foreign-sound-
ing word cafeteria" get into our
speech? There is a Spanish word
''cafetera, meaning 'coffeepot." Is
there any connection?-W. A. S.
A. Let's start with the original
Arabic word qahwah, "a decoction
of berries" This became the Turk
ish qahveh, which became the Ital-
ian cafe, which became the French
and Spanish cafe and the English
coffee.
Now, in French and Spanish, cafe
means coffee" and. by extension,
a place where coffee (and other
beverages is served.
The French word cafetiere, "cof-
feepot," entered Spanish as cafe
terra, "a coffeepot; a woman who
gathers coffee berries; a woman
who makes and serves coffee"
In Spanish, the sufhX-ria COR
responds TO the English-ry, "a place
where something is done or made" :"
as in bakery, winery, factory. In
American Spanish, then, the word
cafeteria evolved and took on the
meaning, "a coffee shop" and is pro-
nounced: Kah-fay-tay-REE-ah
1t is uncertain why the name
cafeteria was chosen, for self-serve
restaurants were never coffee-shops.
Whoever it was that first used the
term cafeteria apparently knew lit
tie or no Spanish.
Therefore, cafeteria, "a self-serve
restaurant" has become a strictly
American word with strictly
American meaning and pronuncia-
tion. The accent has shifted from
the fourth to the third syllable,
which rhymes with beer, thus: KAF-
uh-T h-TEERee-uh.
