MORE ABOUT YUG0sLAv INCIDENT"

Two inconspicuouS items appearing in the last few days
raise questions which almost certainly will not be answered.
One was A. j. Liebings story in last weeks New Yorker about
the death of a friend of his, a radio correspondent, who was
machine gunned back in 1943 while travelling in an American
transport plane flying off it's course over "friendly' territory
namely, Spanish Morocco. The plane, full of bullet holes, man
aged to get to French Morocco, but Mr. Liebling, then in Africa
assumed that the shooting had aroused great indignation in the
United States. When he looked through the Times files on his
return home, he found only the following notice under the small
est possible head:
Mrs. Eduard Baudry has been advised of the death of her
husband, 33-year-od Canadian Broadcasting Company cores
pOndent in North Africa. 1t was learned here today that Mr..
Baudry was killed by anti-aircraft fire when the plane in which
Morocco.
1t would be pleasant to attribute this almost excessive re-
straint to the fact that, with the war still going on, an occasional
small incident like a shot-at transport plane was bound to get
overlooked. 1t would be more realistic to suppose that the United
States wanted, at that moment to keep Franco in a relatively
friendly mood, while it sees no similar urgency about placating
Yugoslavia.
We were even more interested in an editorial note appearing
in the New Statesman and Nation of August 81. After taking
up in detail Tios charge of frequent violations of Yugoslav
cOuntably, his earlier complaints about British violations), the
London weekly reports almost casually, "The YugoslavS state
that a third plane was brought down, but that the evidence was
so discriminating that no American protest was made about il.
800" Do the Yugoslavs state this? If so, newspapers and radio
in this country have conspired to conceal, or the government has
censored, a most important piece of neWs-so important, in fact,
that we cannot believe the Yugoslavs would tolerate it's sup
preston. But the charge alone is enough to confirm acts of the
British government in Palestine" and calls for "a Just and not
a punitive peace for a democratic Italy" With a frankness and
courage rarely displayed in intraparty relations, it breaks sharply
with the Southern Democrats. Dissolution of the Rankin COM
mittee is called for, as we'll as an anti-lynchng law and abolition
of the poll tax. And its Senatorial nominee is pledged by the
platform to support measures legally to eliminate Bibo from
federal office and influence" We have yet to hear an unkind
word from Mr.. Dewey about comparable Affections in the
Republican camp-The Nation, Sept. IA, 1916.

Famine I'm India

The India Famine Emergency committee is urging the sending of
$50 600 tons of American grain to that unhappy country. A circular
from the committee explains that the lives of millions of Indians are
at stake.
The appeal is a familiar one. India has a famine every few years
The most recent one occurred in 1943, when 112 million persons died
in Bengal. Nearly every American Sunday school scholar of the last SO
years must have engraved in his memory a picture of a dark skinned
spindly legged Indian child who obviously needs help from Christians
in other lands.
Since Americans don't like to have anybody starving, the current
request for grain no doubt will be met a S it should be, bt. there will
be some misgivings about the arrangements. 1t is one thing to relieve
suffering caused by war or natural calamity and it is quite another thing
to keep O n substituting a system that produces its own recurrent calam-
tiles
Great Britain has been the master Of India for more than a century
and a half When the British came, India had prosperous textile and
other industries, but most of them were ruined by British competition
and control of tariffs and trade policies from London. AS a result,
millions of industrial workers had to return to dependence n agri-
culture.
Now there is less than a acre of land available per farmer. Pow
crty and iHteracy in turn have prevented the introduction of modern
farm methods, with the result that the average yield of crops is exceed
;ngly low. With the people constantly or the verge of starvation, every
drouth year brings a famine and the necessity for large food imports.
In recent years Britain has been making motions toward granting
independence to India. The independence proposals lately have fed the
flames of Hindu Moslem enmity and thousands of Indians have been
killed in riots.
Grating that Indias religious problems ae difficult, it may yet be
doubted that they would be half 81 difficult if the people of India had
been guided toward full use of their own countrys resources for their
own needs.
The United States is harvesting bumper crops Of grain this year and
can spare some of it to keep Indians from dying of starvation. 1t would
be comforting, however, if we could be sure that u shipments are
not used to prolong Britans strangehod over the economic life of
Tndia-The Chicago Tribune.

Claude R. Wickard, former sec
rotary of agriculture and now head
of the. Rural Identification Ad-
ministration, is a very conservative
gentleman, but the methods used
by the Power Trust" against the
farm electric 'co-ops" have opened
his eyes and made him "hot under
the collar" In a speech, Wickard
said:
At first, when the R.E.A. was
getting started, the Calamity
James of h e commercial power
companies predicted wholesale fail
ures among the cooperatives." But,
the R. E. A. proved a huge sue
cess.
When propaganda failed to stop
the R.E.A., the Power Trust turned
to more direct methods, such as
cream skimming" and spite
lines"
Some people may have the idea
that private utilities have stopped
such tactics" Wickard said, "but
I would like to give you a recent
example which has come to my
attention.

rural highway in Southwestern
Ohio had tried for years to get

If the collapse of the private

plenty of cause for jubilation right

Unfortunately, however, O t

there is a continuity in events and
that his immediate problem is the
natural consequences of what has
been happening up to this time.
And so it happens that a majority
of Americans direct their grippe
against everything but the private

TOM Stokes Has q Good Idea

Even coumnists can't stomach the "blah-blah" Whichc floods the
American press and radio. His fellow newspaper lei in Washington
have voted Tom" Stokes a reliable, accurate reporter. We think he
is frequently off the BEAM but he's very much above the average.
Therefore, the following, from one of his recent articles, is truly sig
rificant:
Perhaps the best thing to do OF a vacation is to get deep into the
Wnds somewhere, out Of range of newspapers and radios-f it's possible
any longer to find such a spot. This is the sober reflection of one who
didn't"
It's a grand idea. We have said something like it many times in
recent months. If the American people would shut off the radio, and
toss the daily paper in the ashcan, and stick to that policy for II months,
they would experience a tremendous uplift mentally and spiritually

Socialists should be very deter
mined to place the blame for pres
ent-day conditions where it be-
longs, and they never should COM
promise their sociology by merely
helping hapless victims of capital
ism to sob and squirm.
1t is important that the capital
ist system be indicted for it's own
actions because that is the only
way to sustain an argument against
the apostles of the same kind of
miS-named free" economy h
has got the world into it's present
mess.
Right now there is a tendency
to place Socialists, and not capital
lists, on the defensive. AS a result
of the government controls that
nave been ~inaugurated since the
beginning of the Roosevelt era, a
growing section of the American
people r prone to believe that
the economic evils of today are the
consequences of a controlled econ
omy. They have failed to under
stand that Roosevelt controls were
intended and planned that way
merely to give a new lease of life
to a dying economic order.
