factual from beginning to end and 1t went on for three or four rather lengthy paragraphs. But let me tell you that the most diSheartening part of the story came in post script.
 The editor added that he was merely reprinting what he had writ- ten of the state of Europe on VIE Day and that he had returned his editorial to the printer one year la- ter with a notation used in the printing trade, "stet", let it stand" The devastating part of the story came home to you with full force when you realized that twelve months of opportunity had passed by and the present state of Europe seemed not one whit better than when Cease fire" was ordered a year before. We thought we had 1t in our power to begin the world over again, we knew that something desperate and revolutionary must be done and that quickly, and yet time slips by and the plight of Europe and the state of the world generally seems to be getting worse instead oi better.
 Agrees With Spellman
 I note that in the first public statement made by Francis Cardinal Spellman, archbishop of New York after he became cardinal, he laid the emphasis on mans need to re- turn to God. think we can agree with the cardinal - although we we would interpret that return in other than Roman Catholic terms We do not believe that free Amer lea can fulfill her destiny in the modern world, if she embraces the kind of politics and religion we find in Spain. We need freedom in reli- zion, democracy in religion, but we like the cardinal, must confess that we need a return to first principles We need something that will lift our thinking and our service above com mon, selfish levels. When we rec- ognize that Gods ways and higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts and when we strive nightly to think His thoughts after Him and follow in His ways our hopes for the future will bright en, and not until then.

WASHINGTON, Nev, l-If President TrunAA had roaa Che Ravxe EepeVt on Mad te-ups with hisn-ap Americans, he might ven have saved John Rosses dismissal from the Justice Department
 For, m reading the report he probably would have compared it with certain things which gre hap penlnE between Americans and NaSis today.

Navy on submarine sights,
 Today, however, some interesting things are happening in Germany ell over again. Among the first Americans to arrive in Germany after V-E Day were three vice-presidents of International Tel ephone and Telegraph One of them K. E. StOckford, was even dressed in u. s, Army uniform. The other two were Mark Sandstrum and Frank Page.
 
 significantly the men they conferred with were Baron Kurt von Schroeder, the big Maxi banker who financed Hitler and pr, Gerhard Westrck the Hitler agent who came to the United States in Sa0 to urge American business leaders, including I. T. a T.. to keep the United States neutral These two powerful NaH figures were not then prisoners but lived in German castle-thanks to their friendship with AmSrlcan pl8 puSnaeSS
 All this happened just after the end of the war.
 Now to get the significance, you have to study the suppressed Rogge report to see what happened at the start of the war President Truman obviously intends that this report shall stay suppressed but this column has obtained @ copy and is able to publish Westricks version of his attempt to pre- vent the United States from aiding the Allies.
 It will be remembered that Hter,S whole strategy was to bring all of Europe to its knees before leth- argic U S. public opinion could realize what hap pening. To this end Dr. WeStrick was sent to the United States. The Rogge report tells the rest of the story.
 "Westrick was well equipped with money" ac- cordng to the testimony of Won Strempel, secretary of the German Embassy in Washington, He could use funds double way. He had dollar fund and he said he could influence prominent businessmen through unfreezng their blocked credits in Germany According to Thomsen (Nazi Ambassador in Washington, Westrick received a salary from the Embassy of about 5000 month

PLEASANT ANNIVERSARY
(New York Times)

The national and international cauldrons have not settled down to steady sinimering but time can well be taken to acknowledge the l5O anniversary of pleasant event. It was in l796 that John Mcintosh of Mcintosh Corners, Ontario, de- cided to preserve a certain clump of wild apple tree seedlings that he discovered in a fence corner. Trans planting the shoots to a likely site by his homestead cabin, he watched over the growing trees through the years By 1880 all his original trees except one had been discarded. Trees planted from seed to seed do not come true; this pioneer or chard was failure.
 Except for one tree that grew tall and spreading. The fame of It's fruit spread among the farmsteads of the region. Farmers were given scions from the tree that produced apples with rosy - red skins and tangy-sweet flesh,. John Mcintosh carried on his fathers work with this tree; he grafted scionS on wild root stock. In 1893 a farmstead fire scared one side of the aging tree but 1t kept bearing until 1908. News of the unusual apple had crossed the border; farmers in the United States sent for young seedlings grafted to the variety.
 One cannot find Mcintosh Cor ners on a map; long ago 1t was changed to the town of Dundlea, DundaS County. But simple granite monument stands on the farm where the original tree was discovered. The inscription reads, The Original Mcintosh Red Apple Tree stood about twenty rods north of this spot. It was one of num- Der of seedlings taken from the border of the clearing and trans planted by John Mcintosh in the year 1796. Erected by popular sub- scription in 1912" It was Pliny the Roman scholar who wrote, There are apples that have ennobled the countries whence they came, and many apples will immortalize their first founders and inventors" There are some 2,000 varieties of apples known in the temperate zone of the world. This 150th anniversary year is a good time to pay our respects to one of the best.

Southern Progress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The SOuths struggles to shake off the bonds of economic bourbonism and to free itself from political methods and institutions that encourage boss rule and demagogtsm are re- echoing in numerous places here
 Involved was the old question of how much the Federal Government can, should do for the South and how much the South must do for itself. The answers were varied.
 Basically the South has lifted itself in recent years economically, due partly to the speed-up Of industriazaton by the and the success of labor unions in organizing and improving the workers lot
 Another outstanding contribution has been IVA.
 And one of the most encouraging developments in that direction President Trumans appointment of Gordon R. Clapp for many years general manager of that agency, to be chairman of IVA succeeding David Lilienthal named head of the atomic energy commission.
 The President thus resisted pressure to put poli- tican at the head of IVA and assured its continu- ation an independent, non-partisan agency, regionally operated Under Mir. Llienthal 1t was so successful that has become the pattern for develop ment of other U S. river valleys and has been copied abroad
 Gordon Clapp is fully cognizant of the continued resistance by Mir Lienthal to the efforts of Senator McKellar O., Tenn) to use IVA for patronage pur- poses and to transfer financial control to Congress MT. McKellar is chairman The Senator feuded con tinualy with Mir. Lilienthal and tried to prevent his re-appointment last year
 Undoubtedly Senator McKelIar will renew his fight but Mir Clapp will have the backing of Presi- dent Truman who said the new chairman had dem- onstrated that he is "a formidable and resourceful fighter when IVA was under unfair attack. By "un- fair attack" 1t was inferred that the President in cluded the Senator's activities and the continued attempts of private power interests to hamper IVA IVA pgOmosas puslic welfare in the South hv

Toward Necessary Repair

Mr. Truman's creation of the Presidential Research Board to coordinate federal activity in the field of science is welcome first toward necessary job of fence mendng
 This country of all the major Aies seem to have in dulged in prodigal expenditure of potential scientific talent during the war. While other nations were excusng nucleus of young scientists from military trann or care fully continuing their instruction under military auspices we have put promising youngsters into uniform with little or no regard for their qualifications.
 The result is the predicted shortage of traned scle tists Mr. Truman has wisely made inquiry into that shortage the boards first items of business
 Peace health prosperity and defense all require that this country maintain equal place with other nations m scientific research and development There is doubt that we have that equal place today To regain there will need to be intelligent participation by the government Tn planning, direction and financial support.
