Power Politics

Because Yugoslavia tiny country thousands of miles away, and the United States is mighty world power, 1t would be very to overlook the significance of the rent dispute between our two countries.
 If it were true that Yugosavia is just little nation standing alone her feet that had done damage childish tantrum, then surely could afford to accept her grudgng amends and give Tito whatever satisfaction he might find in the last word
 Unfortunately that is the The matter is not really between little Yugoslavia and the big United States It is between the United States and powerful Russia.
 Tito is merely Stains puppet. He has been any thing He is Communist agent trained in Moscow before the sent back to seize his native land for Russia from the legal government that fighting whoe-hearedly with the Allies against Nazsm. Under Tto Yugoslavia has independent existence It is nce and tool of the Soviet It does nothng internally externally, without assurance that Moscow approves.
 When Tito had American planes shot down, he did 1t in full knowledge that San approved and would back him A indeed he had explicit orders from Soviet govern ment that ostensiby is our ally and friend
 The issue that has been raised is not of national dignity Newfoundland ignore the yappng of toy terrier It issue of world peace Even Newfoundland afford very long, to let himself be pushed around by around ignore her agreements with interfere with our internal affairs, slap us physically.
 Her fighter panes just for sport have harassed our transports occupied Austria While she banned Amer flights Siberia, her planes daily cruise our Alaskan defense Now, through her cats to she has had two unarmed American transports shot down.
 Grudgingly Tito has complied with much of our ut- maum He has released those shotdown flyers known to be alive He given full military funeral honors to those known be dead taking them from the grave into tossed their manged bodies He has given orders that American planes are to be shot down.
 All that is we'll In addition, have right to an apology from Russia through her puppe and to undertaking be let alone We should not be satisfied until get those things.

In Today's Mail

Experiments or tests could be made under authority and by direc- ton of person in charge and the groups formed there could help each other with the same idea or object
 Knowledge is gained by experi- ence with the aid of books, equip ment, instruction, and practice.
 Personal interest will arise with the desire to help others and gain fame or renown for onself.
 Politics should be used because only it like nothing else, can always get and keep everybody interested in public affairs, as this one is.
 If am elected U. s. Senator this Fall, it will help me organize the people here right and they in turn will help carry on throughout the world as benefit to mankind. We must now start the people in the correct way and with time and practice will strengthen and in- crease this power to do good for all. Hard work is pleasure when done for the right thing. We all want to be like a few who made the world better place to live in. This plan can teach people so much about humanity in general, they will work together instead of having war.

 The headlines and the radio voices roll in, even as the waves building up crisis in foreign affairs You get the impression that some influences on which you can't quite put your fingers are steering us toward another war-and (Ony year ago, at the beach, celebrating the return of peace and-we hoped-a new sort of world.) Involved are deepseated and inexplicabe prejudces and ways of doing things, and lack of understanding No one can fix the blame exactly.
 and so do all the others. We all Snarl and threaten in strange and sometimes almost childish ways, or so it seems. Diplomats defy one another and take positions for the sake of national pride and national customs and ways of thinking and many people say things that sweep quickly around the world and often without knowing what they are talking about There are so many experts who are not that at all
 There is also, shouting from the headlines and radio the confuSions the home front with which we are more familiar Everybody bent on get ting everything for himself and right There is a spirit of national strike abroad in the land-by businessmen refusing to sell except higher prices workers who seem to think of the immediate financial rewards than of the job at hand Farmers and cattlemen holding back their products and the small and laWless element always with us who are now operating the black markets.

 Isn't it about time to take stock of ourselves to sit off for moment and look ourselves as we appear in the mirror of the headlines and the radio bulletins, and bring ourselves back to true values?
 And to be moderate and patient?

But to See Ourselves

WASHINGTON-Perhaps the best thing to do a vacation is to go deep into the wilds somewhere away from modern so-called civilization out of range of newspapers and rado-if it's possible any longer to find such spot.
 This is the sober reflection of who didn't.
 At any of our resorts there always papers handy You must the headlines at least This has become necessity, at least it is an insdous temptation not to be resisted except by wills stronger than possessed by most of us especially by one who makes his living in the world of news and newspapers.
 Then there is always the radio It's part of the bag and baggage that is hauled off to the beach the mountains in the present stage of our cviliza- ton And every often there is the news broadcaster commentator, talking in breathless headlines with his voice nervous and startled and filled each second with significance. Crisis succeeds crisis in do- mestc and foreign affairs all day long in the news paper headlines and in that brisk excited voice over the radio.
 When you in the midst of public affairs working at your job daily, you lose yourself in the false security that you part of what is going on and may have something to oo with it merely because you are watching it closely.
 But when you drop out for brief period and sit the sidelines watching and listening from a dis tance you undergo an experience of illustration You begin to see things then through the eyes of the onooker-that Is, most of Suddenly you are overwhelmed by what must be the feeling of futiity Of the average citizen he reads and hears about the swift tempo of events today and realizes he can do nothing about it.
 And so your perplexity grows as you sit on the beach and watch the ceaseess wash of the sea There is little solace in the always inspired by the ocean, symboi1ng as it does the eternal pas

Still Missing the Boat 1y Douglas Larsen

(Guest writer for Peter Edson while on vacationD
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-(NEA)-For the last few years American shipping interests have had reason to believe they would be able to move in on the world passenger business with the revival of tourist trade after the
 Before the war it never considered fashion able to travel on American lines. That feeling dem- onstrated Americas second-rate position on the high far as passenger lines went. The Dutch, Swedish, French and English lines were considered better and got most of the business.
 Then during the the Maritime Commission went ahead with plans to build some new liners which would be able to compete in luxury and speed with foreign passenger ships It proceeded with the ap proval of President Roosevelt and under authoriza- tion of the Maritime Act of 1886 Part of the plan to help ease the shipping industry back to peaceime basis Naturally the shipbulding industry and potential American line operators were happy about it. The Navy all for it, too, because it meant having reserve of fast troop carriers in the event of emergency The U. s. troop carriers used for the war were extremely slow.
 But the other countries had the same idea Eng land started building new and faster passenger liners before the ended Sweden got luxury ships launched even before peace came and they're carry Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeh which expected to begin making regular runs soon
 Then a couple of weeks ago came the blow which has the American shipbuilding industry all in father. Reconverson Director John R. Steelman sud- denly ordered construction halted on two U S. super liners which would have been used for South Amer ican trade. He said the work taking materials away from the veteran housing program and he said further the Maritime Commission should make study to reevaluate the whole passenger ship con- Struction program to make it complies with the Maritime Act of 1886.

 The streets full of tearing along observing few rules and making nusances of themselves within city limits and the highways Careful drivers having time of it avoid accidents brought by careless drivers who are slowly but surely becoming menace.
 At the busiest hour of the day in places like Waterbury, speed along pull out of line and the jam is such that any number of traffic police unable cope with them
 Another menace and disturbance is the horn blower. The air is filled with the sound of horns blowing The pedestrian crossing the street at the time reaches the halfway mark the light and the automobile driver a foot away blows terrific blast his horn Actually he do this with mpuny because the light tells him to but how about the pedestrian who is stymied half across the street?
 There is constant danger in driving today, danger to those who cautious the streets and the highways One thing certan reckless drivers should be pulled off the road allowed in circulation that has any defective part

PIan to End Wars
Waterbury, Conn,

Waterbury, Conn,
 Sept. 10, 1946. Editor of The Democrat:
 For some time past I have been working on plan to prevent an- other war. Thinking that school was the best and earliest place to start things right I wrote to the president of one of my colleges and received a very favorable re- sponse which was in substance: That everyone should learn certain things. The way to learn is to use the five senses in a manner both physical and mental.
 The place to learn is at school or in the home. The best method to use is the Lesson Question and Answer as proven by years of ex- perience in every school of our country. The attendance could be entire without anyone of the fam fly leaving the house. The hours could be made satisfactory to all acting as whole or in separate bodies. Equipment or tools for use could be had at certain designat- ed place such as part of a library or school in each town containing rec ords Of lessons, maps, spheres, etc.

WITH A TOUCH OF BLUE
(NeW York Times)

Day by day autumn draws on. This is the season when earth pauseS for an interlude to marshal its strength for the glory time ahead. The ninth month bring another sampling of midsummers heat. It may suddenly grow stern and brusquely fling a blanket of cold over the land. One senses that time is running out as sumac leaves turn purple-wine and scat tered branches on the swamp naples hold forth scarlet pennants.
 Now for a period September broods over the countrysid ewith touch of blue. There's rich depth of color in the sky these quiet days. Hours pass with the blue reaching from horizon to horizon; then great white cumulus clouds wander casu- ally along sky trails, emphasizing the color around them.
 There is soft bluish haze on mountain brows and over the up- land mowings. Beneath the bright sun there is tinge of blue on the stands of spruce, hemlocks and pines.

 Final decision for the Jimmy Byrnes speech Germany was imparted to high officials in Washing ton about 12 days before he made it. The suspicion is that the Russians learned about 1t at the time
 Byrnes phoned President Truman about 12 days in advance, told him the Russians the page that nothing could be done to satisfy them He therefore proposed that the United States and Great Britain try to set up German government which could be over to democracy and which could as bulwark against Russia
 President Truman who has come to put complete trust in Byrnes judgment, agreed.
 Whether or not the Russians tapped the trans Atlantic phone, or whether they had other ways of knowing what going on is anyones guess. Maybe it was just coincidence
 Anyway, it was shortly after this that Foreign Minister Molotov made his sudden mystery flight to Moscow. Simultaneously, inspired stories began to leak out of Poland that Russia would take Slesia away from Poland and give it to Germany.

ranted blow at the shipbuilding industry as well as the American Merchant Marine, at most critical time"
 Steelman's answer made it clear that he had President Trumans backing in the move and that he had no intentions of backtracking. He further planed what apparently will be Trumans future policy on the whole question. He wrote:
 Frankly it seems clear to me that healthy United States Merchant Marine will be developed, not by the government taking the initiative and sole financial responsibility for building and operating uneconomc vessels but by private operators develop ing with the aid of the shpbuders, vessels in which they willing to invest their capital"
 Trumans position this matter is all right if he would have America remain a second third-rate nation in the passenger line field officials at Mari time Commission say U. s. passenger lines cannot compete with foreign lines profit and loss basis It is known that the English and Swedish govern ments feel it important enough to have top-flight passenger lines to the extent that they underwrite losses Neither the Queen Mary or the Queen Eliza beth is believed economical to run because of size They lose money on each voyage. But the British consider the existence and operation of these ships valuable enough in the matter Of national prestige and for use in emergency to subsdize their opera tion This is the competition American lines face.
 The ships on which steelman ordered construc- uon stopped to be Americas first bid for the big money in the passenger business They weren't to be as large as the two Queens" but size was to be compensated for in speed anc comfort Their speed the experts claimed was to make them profta- ble to operate.
 The whole dispute is likely to result in another re-evaluation of just what Americas basic policy should be toward its passenger and merchant fleet
 The shipbuilding industry is urging that such study be undertaken jointly by the Maritime Com rfnonn fhn If Dnn arCin and Mobilization and representatives of the shpbuid ing industry.

WASHINGTON Sept lI-Inside fact on the jumbled maritime strike Is that both the AF.L and monthly increase early as last June if there hadn't been friction between two powerful labor leaders Harry Bridges of the West Coast longshoremen and Joe Curran of the Maritime Union.
 What happened was that last May Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach and Granville Conway, war shipping administrator, had talk with Hoyt Had dock, Washington representative for Curran's CIO. Maritime Union. Both agreed that the seamen were entitled to substantial wage boost. The tentative figure of $30 month mentioned, with time and a-hah for work over 48 hours.
 Paddock later sent telegram to both Bridges and Curran reporting this and to his amazemenS got hot wire back from Bridges telling Haddock to mind his own business. Bridges even told Haddocx to go back to Schwelenbach and Conway and inform them to disregard their previous conversation This Paddock did.
 Later, when the CIO maritime strike called public reaction flared. The railroad strike had cured only short time before and Congress seething with labor resentment. The Case Bill under discussion and labor leaders knew that if the CLO. maritime unions went out strike, drastic anti-abor legislation not only would pass Congress but would not be vetoed by the. White House.
 So in the end, CIO. leaders settled for $175O month increase. This far below the $30 figure tentatively discussed by Paddock with Schwelenbach and Conway before Harry Bridges had wired him to mind his own business
 On June 26 just twelve days after the $175O award was 1lXed, Capta1n conway, who, as war shipping administrator, operated 70 percent of the nations ships completely ignored the $1750 for the CI.O. and agreed to $2250 for A.FL. seamen.
 Obviously this meant bitter war between the CI!O. O.-AFL. rivals Also it meant trouble with the Wage Stabilization Board, which had just set the in crease at $1750. However, MT Conway blundered ahead just the same.
 So later, when the Wage Stabilization Board scaled down the AF.L's $2250 to the CLOS $1750 the AFL struck The whole tie-up could have been avoided by little government foresght-large- ly on the part of Captain Conway. While the diplomats battle publicly dis placed persons" and migration to Palestine big busi ness is battling privately displaced agency" in Washington.
 The Securities and Exchange Commission exiled to Philadelphia in 1942 wants to come back home. But reachonary Congressmen and bureaucrats I secretly egged on by big business, are opposed. SEQ watchdog of the stock market was one of Franklin Roosevelts first and best reforms Remem- bering the watered stock and phoney deals which helped bring the 1929 crash, nobody can deny SECS importance. However, pro-bg business and
