Richard Whitney in Comeback

Former President of

grand larceny in connection with

Whitney is happy in his sur

enthusiasm that comes of hitting
the comeback trail and with faith
in the enterprise which he heads
Ramie Mills of Florida, Inc, a
corporation which early in May
will begin building a textile mill.
When that comes about, Whitney
and his associates will move to

SEOUL. Korea, April 20 What
goes on north of the 3sth parallel?
Blackbooted Russian guards with
tommyguns stand at points along
that invisible geographical line
which partitions Korea into two
distinct countries. They don't like
visitors.
You can get into the Soviet zone
if you want to-by taking a noun
tain trail and sneaking across. Ko-
reans do it. Sometimes they get
shot-by whom is not clear-but
traffic remains heavy, especially into
the American occupation sector.
A strict keep out" policy applies
to the tWo-flfths of Korea north of
the 38th. However. a few Ameri-
cans officially have travelled into the
industrial north with passes from

What the Americans know about
Northern Korea today is based on
refugee reports, smuggled editions
of northern neWspapers-and pre-
occupation information that pictures
a rich reservoir of mineral deposits

Here are random notes ON the

1t has the only remaining COM
mercial forests in Korea. 1t for

nesium and aluminium resources;
important iron ore fields: the bulk
of Korea's important coal mines;
the country's sole manganese mine
and most of the tungsten, nickel,
mica, copper. lead and zinc deposits.
Northern Korea has four-fifths of
the country's iron-making capacity;
ammonia and sulphuric acid plants;
four flfths of Korea's hydroelectric
power an important arsenal; one of
Koreas largest pulp mills.
South Korea grows rice, but
North Korea does we'll agricul-
turally. The north produces 80 per
cent of the millet and buckwheat.
Is per cent of the beans. 10 per
cent of the Irish potatoes and most
of the native cotton.
Northeastern fishermen handled
Al per cent of the fish catch. con-
tributing to the north's Sc per cent
of marine industrial byproducts.
Facts Not Clear.
Of the current situation, the facts
are not clear. Rumors are plentiful.
Once refugees slip into Southern
Korea, they are both voluble and
sometimes all too obviously mac
curate. Most refugees admittedly
have come with a grudge
1t seems to be fact that North
Koreans are running their own
government under the name of the

control it and the Russians super
wise it. A sweeping land reform
act is reported being carried out.

IRON CURTAIN
By Kneeland stranahan

The phrase iron curtain has been
plugged like a hit tune-over the
radio in the press (and in headlines
as well as in editorials and column
lists commonly, and from the public
platform. Credit for coming the
phrase has been given to ex-British
Prime Minister Churchill.
A copy of the February 2S, 1915
Manchester (England) Guardian, how
ever, which the writer obtained while
still overseas, proves that first
award, if any, should go to ex-German
propaganda minister, Paul Joseph
Goebbels.
Entitled "Goebbels on Third World
War, the Manchester Guardian re-
port, consisting of a Reuters dispatch
and based upon an official German
News Agency broadcast, quoted the
former No. nazi as warning of war
between Russia and the western world
by 194S.
At the end of the second world war,
cried Goebbels. "the whole of east and
southeastern Europe, together with
tho Reich, would come under Russian
occupation. Behind an iron screen,
mass butcheries of peoples would be-
GIN" etc, etc.
Thus warning of another war" and
talk about an iron curtain" or
screen" were first broadcast to the
world before We day by our late nazi
enemy.
Fear, unreasonable distrust and mis-
understanding of Russia, brought
about in part by pre-war axis propa-
ganda, helped cause world war II. 1t
would be ironical, indeed, as well as
tragic, if similar misunderstanding
and lack of cooperation, encouraged
by the echoes of dead Goebbels,
should lose us the peace.

Football-Not War Is
Top Topic With
Russians

It's hard to get true picture of
Russia because most of the reports
appear to be prejudiced one way or
another. Eddie Gilmore has been
the Associated Press correspondent
in Moscow for many years. He is a
regular contributor also to one of
the nations largest conservative
magazines. We believe that his
views are unbiased. That is why we
reprint herewith his most recent
Associated Press dispatch from Mos
COW, to which he has just returned
after several months back here at
home.-Editor.
Returning to Russia after a 5-month
absence, one is Immediately struck by
the startling difference in what peo-
pie are talking about abroad and what
they're discussing here.
In the United States it was a third
World War, fear of it and a definite
pessimism about the prospects of
peace.
In Britain it was war and fear of
war, but to a somewhat less extent
than in America.
In Russia there is little or no talk
about war, certainly no expressed fear
of it. The question of burning interest
at the moment is football
The Russians I've talked to-and
they include officials-are startled at
these reports from abroad.
Football and Peace
There is great talk about peace,
about gigantic plans for the future,
about better living conditions, about
new jobs, about new clothes, apart
ments and furniture and prospects of
getting them but above all about
football.
Russia is getting back on her feet
after a terrible war-but slowly, for
she was grievously hurt and her land,
broad and long, contains 190,000,000
people.
There is conviction that there exists
an organized effort to gang up by vote
and declaration against the USSR.
There is more confidence tnan
have ever seen before in Russia by
Russians-confidenc in the govern
ment and the men at it's head.
There is no anti-American or anti
British feeling as such here.
There are articles of criticism in the
Russian press and radio about the
United States and Britain, but l would
be very untruthful reporter if l did
not say that there is three to five
times as much anti-Russian sentiment
in the American and British press and
on the radio as there is here against
those two countries.

elimination League. Others, no doubt.
get the idea, but so long as they are
not directly and personally concerned
they prefer the easier way of aloofness
and nOn-activity At any rate here is
the blueprint:
During a strike of Miners to secure
small increase in wages, the idea
that unorganized personnel should
show loyalty to the more fortunate
personnel who inhabit the Sixth Floor
of the Hennessy building rather than
to the men who go down in the drifts
and slopes and get out the rock, is
completely crazy. 1t savors too much
like God Bless the Queen" or God
Save the King" and that is too much
for the stomachs of the Montana Anti
Discrimination League. and we are
not weak in that part of the anatomy.
1t (the A. C. M. blacklist) has no place
in the magnificently large state of
Montana in the U. S. A. The ACM's
concept of loyalty is contrary to hui
man decency and completely repug-
nant to free men.
1t is possible for the cases of dis
elimination against the ACM company
to reach the supreme court of the
United States In that event, irrefut-
tble evidence, which will also be pre-
scented at hearings in, Butte, will be
offered showing that all of the per-
sonnet Disseminated against (and III
Guiding the Miners) were loyal to the
United States government all during

against the charge of disloyalty to the

suppose any other outcome than YER
dict for the men Disseminated against
The idea that men who proved them
selves of loyal caliber during the war
should transfer that loyalty to the

men (the Miners) during a labor dis
pute is nothing less than qrotesque,
and cannot be entertained by men of
honest intentions and unselfish devo-
ton to the welfare of other working

policy of refunding excess taxes to in

the vast majority of voters are not

For other reasons l would say that
Truman has bungled his job badly
in the last year in dealing with labor
especially. He seems to have acted
most of the time on the decisions of
advisors who were not qualified to act
in this capacity. His actions leading
up to the dismissal of Secretary of
Commerce Henry Wallace were de-
plorable in the extreme. Such about
