AUTOMATIC WASHER.
COOKING GREENS.

(From Mrs. +. N. r, Hy0ttsDtlle.)
There has been 20 much comment
about automatic washers ! would
like to say that II clothes are not
rinsed we'll they won't come from
the lire sparkling white, no matter
how they were washed. prefer the
wringer type washer myself. I wash
for . family Of six twice each week.
It takes me about III hours each
time I wash. I have had my pres
ent washing machine 10 years. It
has not been serviced except for oil
ing, which, was done by my husband.
Rinse clothes until all soap and dirty
water are removed.
To the lady asking about cooking
brecceli and other green's: ! have .
pressure cooker, which I use for
nearly Ill my cooking. I md it very
satisfactory for broccoli, cabbage
and all vegetables. It preserves both
flavor and food value. Broccoli
cooks In about minutes.

1t Is inevitable. Like all totalitarian
states, the Soviet Union tolerates
neither overt opposition nor basic
criticism within its borders. It is
likewise extremely thin skinned re-
garding foreign criticism of itself or
foreign opposition to its external
policies. Now, for the first time, it
finds itself major part of an inter-
national organization one of whose
organs-the General Assembly-has
the right to do just those things.
This rouses resentment in the minds
of the Russians and predisposes
them to overawe or suppress what
to them seems reprehensible and
dangerous conduct This theological
clash is fundamental issue implicit
from the start in every association
of the Soviet Union with the nom
totalitarian world. It's adjustment
is one of the thorniest problems
involved in genuine international
cooperation.

The British move offers the promise
that big beginning can be made on

Such federation of new states stretch

a vast new home for millions of stricken

equatorial heat to temperate climate in
certain attitudes. It would have broad
access to two oceans. And it would
have undeveloped resources of almost
boundless value.
Much of the pain of the world in past

This Changing World
BY Constantine Bro,yn

Americas UNO delegation in London
has received clear warning from Wash
ington that it must not dispose lightly
of the question Of the few strategic
islands which our military and naval
men consider essential for the defense
Of this country The view Of the mill
tary leaders is now being seriously taken
into consideration by members Of the
Senate, who have indicated that what
ever happens in London they want to
have the last word concerning American
rights in the strategic outposts in the
Pacific
The fact that Britain, Australia and
New Zealand have offered to place
under UNO guardianship the territories
inundated to them after the World War
has no bearing on our own position.
These territories have sizable popula-
tions and represent a high commercial
value.
The case Of America is entirely differ
ent from that of the other powers ex-
cept Russia.
After the World War, when German
colonies and possessions were distrib-
uted among the conquerors, the United
States received none of the spoils
Military and political men who were
cycling the Pacific with concern in 1919
advised President Wilson to put in a
claim for one or two of the archipela-
goes in the Western Pacific. Their lin
goistic" pleas remained unheeded, and
Germanys Pacific possessions-wi
some insignificant exceptions-wered di-
vided between Japan and the British
Empire,
When Britain and the dominions now
offer to place some of the former Ger
man islands at the disposal of UNOs
trustee organization, they merely con-
tinue the provisions of the mandates
system of the League Of Nations
After the World War Russia, which
was considered near enemy" by the
Allies, received none of the spoils of
victory. Promises given her in secret
agreements that she would be allowed
to take over Constantinople and the
Dardanelles were Cancelled not because
the Czarist regime to which these
pledges were given had been overthrown
but because Russia had broken the alli-
ance with the other Allies by making
separate peace with the Central Powers
in 1918.
The United States was too high
minded and decided to follow President
Wilson'S IA points scrupulously and did
not ask for any substantial spoils of war.
After the surrender of Germany last
May, Russia organized its strategic de-
fenses by the creation of puppet govern
ments as far south as the Adriatic.

On the Record
BY Dorothy Thompson

to overthrow the whole Iran govern
ment; independence" and sovereignty"
are myths, when the Iran government
is ordered by the Russians not to send
troops to quell rebellion on its own
soil. So what has become of solemn
covenants?"
If ever words and deeds, facts and
fancieS, were at greater variance than
now, cannot remember the time. Our
peace does not rest on UNO but on
the balance of power between the Anglo
Americans and Russians. Iran is en-
barrassing because it is located in an
area of vital strategical importance to
Britain. The Teheran pledge was real
istic, because it recognized that the in
dependence of Iran was vital to the
independence of Turkey, and that the
independence of both was vital to last
ing peace between the great powers.
Any peace of the powers must rest
on balance, and balance can be main
tanned only by checks to the expansion
ism of any. Expansionism can only be
checked by recognizing the rights of
small nations. Thus the Atlantic Char
ter, far from being idealistic, was the
last thoroughly realistic document of
elements Of international law and de-
cency.
The peace of the powers engineered
at Munich identical in theory with the
present peace broke up by the uni
lateral action of one So did the great
power peace of the Russo German pact.
Hitler compensated Molotov for Rus
sian benevolent neutrality. by the par
tition of Poland, and the award of part
Of Finland and part of the Baltic states.
Russia, however, wanted all the Baltic
states-and took them-and also a DOM
inant interest in Bulgaria, Yugoslavia,
the DardanelleS, and an outlet to the
Persian Gulf The latter was, I believe,
granted, the others not and the Soviets
were re-arming. 1t must have looked
to the Nazis as though all their ILL
gotten gains in Eastern Europe would
be snapped up behind their backs while
they were engaged in the war In the
west. Hence the breaking of the Ger
man-Soviet treaty of friendship" by the
German attack on Russia.
The present impasse will either be
solved by the restoration in full force
of the Teheran pledges, which would
mean that Russia would have to back
down: or by shelving the issue, which
would mean that Russia would proceed
without recognition of her acts; or by
the partition of Iran between Russia
and Britain, which would mean further
revealing the true face of the peace we
have made.

Army Communists

Pending disclosure of supporting
evidence, the statement from the
counsel for the House Committee on
Un-American Activities that Com
munist agitators inspired some of
the recent CT demonstrations will
be received with a measure of
Skepticism.
1t would be ridiculous to contend
that the demonstrations were not
indicative of real unrest among the
troops. The soldiers want to come
home, and in staging demonstra-
tions to impress that fact on their
Superiors and on the people in this
country they were not serving as
dupes of the Communists.
Nevertheless, it is rather evident
that behind the demonstrations
there was skillful planning and di-
rection. If this came from Com
munists in the ranks, their spec
tacular success was due, not to any
sympathy with Communism among
the troops, but to the fact that dis
content and idleness are the raw
materials of Communist agitation,
and that these materials were pres
ent in abundance at the places
where the demonstrations were
staged.
The matter is one which merits
investigation, and if the Commu-
nistS have been making capital out
of prevailing conditions in the Army
that fact should be made a matter
of record. 1t is no less desirable,
however, that the committee should
proceed with care, and that no &C
cusation to this effect should be put
forward unless it is adequately sup
ported by unimpeachable evidence.
