excitement what are really inconsequentias.
 It takes a sequence of seemngly-broken scenes to make act It takes series of acts to show which way the plot is developing and what the play is all about.
 The dispatch of an American aircraft-carrier to the Mediterranean may in itself be nothing of lm- portance Yet if memory arght, the battleship Missouri recently concluded another of these goodwill tours to the same region.
 Then there was the little incident of an American transport plane being forced down by military aircraft of Yugoslavia There another little incident in which a few American soldiers ambushed at Trieste.
 There is fear of Yugoslav coup in the territory around Trieste, bordering Italy. There Is lncreas- ing participation of the United States Government in the affairs of Palestine
 There is consideration of proposal to have the United States replace Japan one of the governing nations of the MontreuX convention, under which the Dardanelles controlled There are American loans to Greece and Saudi Arabia
 No less figure than Assistant Secretary of State James C. Dunn, sitting with Secretary Byrnes at Paris is to be the first U S. ambassador to Rome.
 In the light of all these other incidents the Sec retaryS pat of encouragement to Premier de Casper takes on significance.
 Add up all these incidents and what is the an sWer? Is the United States becoming more involved in Mediterranean affairs than it has been since the days when the Algerian pirates were cleaned out by the infant Amercaii Navy? Dsd the landing at Casa blanca plant Uncle Sams shoe firmly on the shores of the Mediterranean that it be wthdra avn?
 The tremendous trifles are well worth watching Taken together. they make the history.

citizens, who came here immigrants, proved their complete loyalty in two great wars. There is much evidence that the process of Americanization has made excellent progress. It cannot, therefore, be said that low ering the immigration bars to a modest degree at this time, will en- danger the future of this country. The quota figures set were purely arbitrary and there is no logical reason why they should not be re- vised.
 The United States is not only the arsenal of democracy in time of war to crush the aggressor, it means also to be helpful in time of peace in the alleviation of agonizing dis tress. The plight of the Jewish refugees would seem to represent an appeal and a challenge that cannot be dismissed with words telling oth- CTS what to do. The deed should join the word.

economic and political blackma of weaker neighbors by greedy and powerful state.
 The world is frightened of Russia. She exists in it's imagination monstrous and invincble power against whose demands it's futile to protest. But United States of Western Europe could be far powerful than Russia especially if allied to the Brit ish Empire and working in amty with the United States.
 The population of Russia is 1S5. 100000. To that, at least for the present. must be added the Europeans living to the East of the iron curtain They proba ply number 95,00O 600. That makes grand total of about 28o0ooooo for Russan-domlnated powers
 A United States of Western Europe might ul- timately comprehend Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Great Britain, France Portugal Spain, Italy Switzer land, Western Austria and, fast but not least South ern and Western Germany. These populations amount roughly to 246000000. And these are all highly civ ilized Europeans whereas the bulk of RusSias 105- 100000 fairly primitive Asatics. Moreover, to the numbers of the Western bloc might well be added another 20000O00 highly civilized Europeans inhab- iting the British dominons, plus the native popula tions of the British French Dutch, Belgian, Spanish and Portuguese colonial empires which together amount to 322,000000.
 The grand total would amount to about 59000O,- GOO, which would be 30 percent of the population of the world-and this without counting India, which Britain's Labor Government has pledged to vacate. Thus, the total population of United States of Europe added to that of colonial empires would be than double the population of Russia and her satellites.
 It's idle to assert that the gradual formation of such merger would alarm the Russians. They not fools. They must realize that all the Western world desires is peace and federation designed for the security and prosperity of the world whole, not for a crippling and disastrous
 Holland and Belgium have shown us the way. We should learn from them and go ahead with the idea of one world minds The unity of Western Europe must set example to the world. And per haps Russia may learn that merger of several countries be effected for the benefit of mankind rather than for the dsconorre of the Soviet Union.

EDITORS NOTE Drew Pearson, following his return from the Paris Peace Conference, writes another column tense relations with Russia and how can prevent our present dangerous drift toward war;
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-There is reason to be- eve that at the end of the Soviet Russia looked forward to virtual alliance with the United States. The worlds two greatest powers the Russians felt, had no conflicting interests, could work together. Great Britain, the Russians figured did not count. She out of date, wiped up finished.
 However no two nations can the world with out reaping the ill will of the rest of the world and eventual catastrophe. So, fortunately, the United States did not become ar ally Of Russia.
 Unfortunately however, have veered far in the other direction that foreign diplomats generally consider us not only an ally of Great Britain but owned body and soul by the charming gentlemen in the British Foreign Office.
 This not only snarls up our relations with Russia, but lessens effectiveness with other members of the United Nations For 1t IS by playing our our cards straight across the United Nations board with abso lutely big power alliances that maintain the world leadership which is for the asking.
 Ever since Britain and Russia combined to stop Napoleon in 1815 their armies and navies have been looking down the muzzles of each others guns. For 100 years they have been the two most powerful most suspicious, most opposite rivals in all Europe. And today England, weak old and fighting for survival, figures that her only salvaUon is playing off the UIS.t,. against the U.SSS.
 
 Tons a9 8 .nse when ine SlIieS UIeiIge6 1o the principles of the Atlantic Charter and world operation, Britain has gone back to the outmoded, troube-breeding game of power politics And she has played her cards skillfully that she has just about euchred the U4s-A into being the No. enemy of the USS.R.
 One trouble with the British is that bond of sympathy with them is so close that they know they can take advantage of us Like an old man with weakness for going benders the British know that when they get into trouble their :ndugent will always bail them out.
 Palestine is in point. The organization which mandaed Palestine to the British-the League of Nations-is nonexistent. The British have absolutely legal rights in Palestine other than the power of armed force. And if they had any regard whatsoever for American friendship, which they badly need long they would have turned Palestine back to the United Nations-Where it belongs
 Instead they have used the most brazen trickery to outsmart President Truman. For instance, the President recently received report how two secret cables which he had sent Judge Joseph c. Hutche- son. Chairman of the Anglo-American Palestine Commission, opened and read by the British Consul in Geneva before being delivered to Judge Hutcheson.
 Truman also has report from Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury, Ed Foley on how the British

 For several weeks I have been trying to interest some G,I Vet. w. w.

Naturally the building will need tearing down which should not be difficult and what better use could a Vet with spare time on his hands put to better advantage.

The Firing Line
 By D. N. T.

A Red Army newspaper charges that Fiorello LaGuardia offended the Soviet Union in "an irrespon- sible manner" at press conference in Paris Wednesday.-NeWs item.
 AT LAST
 For much too long we've been
 poles apart, The LISA and the Soviet U., At odds, it seems, from the very
 start, In all the things that we say and
 do. The Tanks give Ivans the run
 around; The IVans always reciprocate; Never the common line is found That is, up to recent date. Theirs is vodka and ours is rye; Ours is white and the Russians,
 black; Why can we never see eye to eye? Why are we ever back to back? They hate our style and they hate
 our food; We hate their food and we hate
 their style; Each to the other baldy rude, Never wasting a praise or smile. Comes the dawn of a day that's
 fair, Comes an end to the sheer and
 glover; We have something, at last, to
 share And that's the wrath of the Little
 Flower.
 A recent release from the War Assets Administration, 500 Wash ington Street, Boston, was headed; Sale of DNT and HeXachloroe- thane." We feel bad enough about being sold with them throwing in a Greek outfielder in the bargain. We can see some excuse for lot of these high-pressure expressions sponsored by the military and Big Business in their dealings during the war. but somehow or other We just can't stand ''knoW-hoW' mo- how.
 Another boost in the price of bread is in the offing, according to word from Washington. If it keeps up, we'll soon be ordering bread sandwich - a pat of bread between two slices of hamburger.
 A survey made for the PrOvi- ience Journal shows that 3O,00O people are receiving unemployment compensation in Rhode Island while 25,OO0 jobs are going begging in the state. We're offering ten to one that there are more than 5000 clear consciences, though.

 BRUSSELS-The proposed economic union of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg cannot be regarded as end in itself. It would lead to much greater things.
 Jigsaw puzzles are popular toys in the Western world Parents who buy them for their children probably get fun out of them themselves, for there is great fascination to be had from recon structing broken picture But no child adult, attempts to solve puzzle by hurlins all the pieces on the ground in the hope that by good luck, they will fall into coherent pattern.
 This seems to be the rather optimistic technique of the United Nations. It also seems to be the tech nique of the q nations meeting in Paris. But sensible wishing to put jigsaw puzzle together starts off bit by bit From the joining of three pieces here and there the pattern begins to emerge and, the joined sections grow larger they link up with other sections If the puzzle is difficult one, it takes time and patience. Only by starting on l small scale will 1t ever be solved We must seek the ideal of Wendell Willkie. One World" must be our aim, for nothing less than that will allow mankind to exist i.l peace and pros perty. The solving of the world puzzle will take time and patience As with jigsaw puzzle, we must start off bit by bit and gradually increase our joined tions until the pattern of one world begins to emerge The process has begun in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg, and from their proposed union should draw hope and encouragement. It will be slow pro- cess but there is hurry. The world certainly has 20 years, if of peace, at leas5 Of uneasy arms tce ahead of it. And mergers of nations built slowly one by one Will prosper petCer than the more ull4- verSal but possibly hearted agreements that may ultimately emerge from the bckeTings at the Peace Conference.
 l The greatest obstacle in the way of this idea is Soviet Russia At the merest mention of cooperation between two Western countries. Foreign Minister V. M Molotov, in accordance with instructions from the Kremlin, starts screaming about a Western bloc" At the time, Russia goes quietly and i efficiently ahead with her asorption of Eastern Europe But the union of Eastern European countries with Soviet Russia is very different story from the possible union of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg There is all the difference between friendly agree

government announced today that
18 persons, described as members OF
the "well-known MarshaD Tito Pro.
letarian Division" entered Greece
from Yugoslavia Sunday and at
tackled Greek frontier station
north of Florina.
A statement issued by the press

as Macedonian Slavs who had taken
refuge in Yugoslavia, and said Greek
guards held of the assault until re-
Inducements arrived and drove the

Florina is in Northern Greece, near
the juncture of the Greek -Yugoslav-

observer who recently completed q
two-and-a- half month survey of the
area described it as "Greece's next
trouble spot"
