Case Against Sovicts.
Where the Army was playing
slightly dumb on the Russian situa-
ton, UNRRA people were outspoken
and realistic. They live at the core
OF the problem; they have watched
the tide of displaced persons ebb
and then, of late, increase from the
east. They are sure in their own
minds of the answers.
Their case against the Soviets be-
gins by pointing out how very diff
cult 1t is normally to pass through
the Russian zone of occupied Ger
many-how you must keep to the
beaten path. For example, all traffic
from the American zone must pass
via one route which means much
roundabout travel The Russians ex-
plain this will "avoid incidents"
but it also gives rise to countless
dark stories.
Yet unnumbered Jews, paperless
and propertyless, filter without diff
Guilty through the Russian zone. Why
is it so easy for them? The inf1ltrees
avoid answering. They say they
won't imperil the chances Of those
who must follow, which is plausible.
UNRRA workers don't go so far as
to suggest the Polish prosecutions
are deliberate. They are sure the in
filtration is deliberately made easy
because the Jews, with their quite
understandable monomania for
Palestine, embarrass the British In
the Near East while arousing Aneri-
can sympathies.
UNRRA blames nobody. They do
see the ali-over pattern and they are
realistic about it. - ~

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-(NEA)-SaIe of IL S. surplus property to the Chinese government which the Senate War Investigating Committee timdly stuck its nose into the other day probably the crazest business deal conducted On the hand, the U. S. sold approxima telv 1500000 tons of cilan-type goods on which it could offer no inventory They were scattered in China and on nearly score of Western Pacific islands includ- ing Guam, Sapan, Okinawa, Eniwetok Kwaialein included every military item the Army and Navy had with the exception of the stuff they carried into the Philippines Japan and Korea. On the other hand the United States took in part payment for this junk the cancellation of worthless paper money, Yuan dollar" debt of dln- known size The U. S. said it owed this debt to China But our government had no idea how big it was Estimates given by Office of Foreign Iioudation vary from $5oOOO to $250OOOo0o with the former as the far Hkelier figure.
 On the third hand, the U S. had to set LID fund of $3O0O0O0O to pay the Chinese for chartering American ships go the islands pick up the stuff and haul it to China All China furnishes is the coole labor to do the stevedoring
 Announcement of this deal was made in Shang- hai nearly month ago by the new retired Foreign Liquidation Commissioner, Thomas B. McCabe The announcement made it appear that the U. S. was re- ceivng the equivalent of $l750C0OO0 for supplies costing $825 00OO0. That would give the U S. about 2l cents on the dollar
 But the full import of this deal is just now be- ginning to register and it will probably be investigated further.

 Whenever the Army wanted to build an arfield. It would call on the Chinese government Executive Yuan for Chinese money. The printing presses would rol and out would come lot of bills with big num- oers and Chinese writing them The Army would spend these bills to pay coolie labor and buy materi alS land or what had they.

SPOKANE, WASH.-To put it plainly, this trav- eler is sucker for dams. We all are no doubt It's our admiration for the builder.
 No tour of country is complete without a pilgrimage to our grandeSt monument in concrete Grand Coulee Da1n which throws itself athwart the Columbia River about 100 miles from here
 Nearly decade ago this traveller had one of his greatest thrills when he first looked upon it. Then it only partly complete but the vision was all there like the rough sketch in charcoal one of the nobleSt conceptions of nation of builders It was not the first. or course. IVA in Tennessee and Boulder in Colorado, and Bonneville in Oregon came before it. It will not be the last
 On the first visit we came up the old gorge of the Columbia, riding in a procession behind Franklin ID. Roosevelt, perhaps foremost among our builder presidents. There from below the great wall of con- crete burst upon the sight. It was beginning to rise against the mighty river.
 This time it burst upon sight from the other direction, the around the last hill There below was the valley of the future the valley or hope, the great waters of the Columbia shining under the sum- lying calm against the great wall of concrete giant cup formed by the hills which rise on every side.
 It is an inspiring sight from the top of the dam which IS quarters of mile and 500 feet high, as tall as the Washington Monument in the natona! capital On one side, to the North you look upon the lake-Roosevelt Lake-which disappears around bend but extends 151 miles to the Canadian border
 The dam created that lake. On this same side toward the Eastern end of the bridge you can see Tar below the tunnels carved under the rock wall through which the waters of the river will be pumped up under the hills and over to form a new lake 26 miles long. Through system of canals and rriga- ton ditches it will be spread million acres of now barren and unproductive land to the East
 And, over the other side of the dam you look down upon the waters as they fall like hurtling

Inedible Explanations

 That might to indicate that short of live stock But Secretary of Agriculture Anderson espyng silver lining Tt is to the interest of the American people to markets slowed temporarily and hard to find while 52000000 head of cattle 58 head of hogs 16000O tons of feed into top grade beef and pork"
 Our largest beef cattle population only 54 5S5OO0 head in 944 according to figures of Mr. Anderson critters Mr. Truman that the dire predictions of meat famine without basis. But Sen. James Mead Rep Adoph Sabath and CIO cost of living committee have been talking about the terrifying meat famne which they attribute to the drive of packers in creating artificial shortages in order to end price controls.
 MT. Anderson meanwhile doesn't chide the packers but farmers to release their livestock to market and aban don their oneway attitude" toward price control Some is justified because mo effort being made enforce price control But OPA enforcement official in New York says the black market getting substanta portion of avail able meat and that the situation under better control day than other time the history of the meat forcement program
 And it goes Yet the basic facts behind the short comparatively simple and the basic arguments thriceamiar We know that the setup of growers pack er distributors retailers and customers hasn't changed the days when meat could be bought the counter 1t deonsraby that there are beef cattle and hogs in ample number to feed the country It is like wise demonstrab true that meat price control without meat rationng has not been
 The big argument whether in the face of higher costs and subsidies and packers produce meat proftaby under present ceilings Many and pack President Truman present livestock ceil lngs fair and equitable OPA says Somebody's wrong The shortage has continued for too long time already We doubt that arises from problem that IS insouble enough good will and good is applied energeticaly to its solution.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-Franklin D. Roosevelt, IT,, recently comparing his father with the man who succeeded him in the White House. His general conclusion was that Harry Truman | certainly is not lacking in courage Father never stuck his neck out the way Truman does, said young Franklin. 'He never wrote letter to Congress demanding that they pass the FEPC He was all for the FEPC and the anti-po tax bill but he let other people get out in front and carry the ball" It was hard for friends to say whether young Franklin was paying tribute to Trumans courage or his fathers Sagacity.
 Trumans position regarding racial injustice is strong partly because he has two conscientious southerners at the head of his Justice Department. The Attorney General Tom Clark is from Texas while the head of the Criminal Division Lamar Caudle, is from North Carolina Both have been vigorous in attempting to prevent racial injustice When the riots broke in Co., urnba, Tenn, for instance, Caudle unable to get air. plane transportation, drove all night in his car to reach the scene of the trouble
 Again when Isaac Woodward, Negro veteran was permanently blinded after altercation with South Carolina policeman Caudle-as chief of the Justice Departments Criminal Division-brought criminal action against the policeman. Such step by the Federal Government is almost unprecedented, and the fact that it taken by North Carolinian with the support of an Attorney General from Texas is significant.
 NOTE Governor Ellis Arnan of Georgia and other southerners argue that the problem can
 
 
 When the Army puts on it's next enlistment drive 1t is going to have hard time with certain CHS who recall the promises made the last time they en- listed. One of those promises that those who enlisted for year would get thirty days extra frough in addition to their regular thirty-day fur lough It was that basis that they enlisted for one year and month.
 Now, however they find that the extra furlough is not going to be forthcoming It's out the window
 War Department circular 251 cancels the re- enlistment furough promised to GIs, and there Is nothing the men who took the Army at its word can do about it.
 The War Department explains that it was forced to cancel this furough under the Armed Forces Leave Act passed by Congress last Summer In other words the Army that after promised the extra thirty days leave Congress took it away This was done when Congress voted to put enlisted men on the same proportionate basis officers regarding terminal leave, at which time it also voted that en- stment furlough leave counts against terminal leave
 How much the Army did to guide Congress on this legislation is not known. Usually the Army can be quite potent on Capitol Hill AL any rate good many thousand enlisted who signed up for year are now sore blazes and will think twice be- fore signing up again.

Landmark of Justice

In the days when German military power was at it's height the enemies of fascism used dream what hopeless dream. of day when the defeated Nazi leaders would be brought to the bar of justice for trial by an international tribunal representing outraged humanity
 That, it seemed would be the great of vndca- ton world history Actually the Nuremberg war crimes trial somewhat less impressive The arch criminal Hit Ter not there And what promised be the spec tacuar courtroom drama of all time assumed ponderous the ground and sfted great grst evidence for than 10 months
 There flashes of drama to be sure. But gradually the trial slipped back in the paper from Page One many of it's reporters slipped away resher assignments Even the thousands of crimes of Nazdom when cataoged counted in the Palace of Justice benumbed the mind their sheer massive weight
 Perhaps, too thought of the defendants too much the ragag mob that they they in the dock The contrast between this pald haggard rabbe and their former srutng overdressed arrogance could be looked discounted Yet there the temptation as read of the sniveng and buckpassng in which those 21 ndulged to allow past crimes shrink the present stature of the criminals
 But the high drama and immense significance returned to the trial at its close That is fortunate for help the worlds millions who suffered from and fought and hated to realize the full truth-ha the trial the Nazi criminals indeed landmark in the history of law and justice.
 The physical existence of criminal of such crm nals as these is of little ultimate importance. Bento Mus soin and Adolf Hitler died violently in the midst of such violence that their passing only of momentary The passing of the Nuremberg criminals will be of similarly small importance It cannot expate housandth of their crimes. The slaughtered Nazi victims will be just dead The devastation of the Nazi will be just ruinous

Yuan-dollar note became worth about 12 and half American cents.
 From one-third to one-half a triion Yuan dol lars worth of this inflated stuff was spent by the U. S. in China The arrangement was that the "debt" would be settled sometime in the indefinite future Disposal of the Western Pacific non-mitary sur pluses provided the opportunity to wipe the slate clean.
 The principal negotiators for China were Dr. T. " Soong, president of the Executive Yuan and General Kiang. The general did most of the dick ering His principal worry was that he didn't know what he was buying the condition the stuff was in.
 He could be shown aerial photos of acres of automobiles and trucks this island miles of naval supplies on that island, mountains of building ma terlas some place else, warehouses said to be full of canned foods-all the stuff being marshaed for the invasion of Japan proper.
 But tropical jungle growth was rapidly covering everything. The Army and Navy had just had to walk off and leave it. with minimum guard and no possible maintenance crews their haste to get the boys back home And nowhere was there an inventory that could be guaranteed
 General Kiang kept insisting he was buying A cat in bag. He couldn't the cat. He didn't even know whether it was alive or dead Tom or Mamma a-cat or just a kitten. How could he buy?
 U s. negotiator McCabe, working with Assistant Secretary Of War Howard c. Peterson and Rear Admiral H. c. Cotter for the Navy had to admit if was cat in bag, While they couldn't let the gen eral see it, he could at least feel it so determine II was cat he was buying, not rabbit or a pig
 They closed the deal on that basis
 Actually the U. s. will get very little cash money at all and that in 20 years. It will get the equivalent oI $3o0OOOOO worth of embassy sites and buildings in China. And China agrees to spend the equivalent of $2O,0OO,0O0 improving cultural relations
 what the Yuan debt settlement amounts to is tnat the O gives back to China the arfieds built ana paid for with nearly worthless paper money
 Alter the goods get back to China they will be the property of the Chinese government to use in rebuilding the country to sell to it's nationals Any money the Chinese government gets from these sales, it will keep.
 All the U. s. gets is rid of the stuff At a cost oi S3U0ooOOO is paying the Chinese to take it away
