P. G. STROMBERG

TN HIS SPEECH at Stuttgart
4 last week Secretary of State
james F. Byrnes gave expression
to Americas position regarding
Germany's future which will
likely rank among important
State papers. While giving the
impoverished Germans some
measure of hope for the future
he still condemned them in
round terms for
"IJ. S. Will having contri-
Not Step buted to their
Backward" own predicament
through adher-
ence to Hitler. And at the same
time the American Secretary of
State let Soviet Russia under
.tand that the United States
stood ready to defend her po-
sition. Russia could take from
Mr.. Byrnes' announcements a
definite warning that America
would not step backward. He
warned Messrs. Molotov, Vishin-
sky, ct al, that further APP
peasement of Russian demands
could not be expected.
The fact that harsh criticism
came from Russia, some spokes-
men in France, and particularly
from Poland, indicates that
American insistence on fair
treatment of a defeated nation
is contrary to their conception
Of dividing the spoils to point
where an important nation like
Germany could
OF Russia never again con-
Appeasement tribute her bit
At End towards making
the world bet
ter place in which to live. That
Germany should be kept disarmed
for at least generation is un-
questioned by the Secretary.
That she should be made to pay
for the havoc and destruction
wrought was made plain. How
ever, that she should be given
some measure of hope for future
generations, the Secretary in
sisted, was Americas idea of
imposing workable peace on a
vanquished nation.
The speech of Secretary Byrnes
has a direct relationship to the
Maritime strike at home. 1t
seems that there is a definite
Communistic influence in the
ever-recurring strikes. The cur
rent strike is influenced from
several standpoints, 1t is chal-
lenge on the part of the Ameri-
can Federation
The of Labor lead
Maritime ers and the au-
Strike thority vested in
the Wage Sta
bilization Board. Another unfor-
tunate phase of the Maritime
strike is that the union is at
tempting to dictate our national
policy in that they have refused

The
Maritime
Strike

bilization Board. Another unfor-
tunate phase of the Maritime
strike is that the union is at
tempting to dictate our national
policy in that they have refused
to permit UNRRA ships to be
loaded with relief cargoes des-
tined for Yugoslavia because of
that country's shooting down
American planes. While many
OF us are inclined to be sympa-
thetic with this attitude more
mature reflection tells us that
we cannot countenance assump-
ZION on the part of any group
Oh determining any phase of our
foreign policy. So it appears
that the bungling has placed
even our State Department in
an embarrassing position.
Communists of Russia find
nothing to their liking more than
big strikes within our borders.
Nothing is so distasteful to them
as a smooth working democracy.
however the present strike is
9e''led it will remain a blot on
''e Truman administration.

Between Us Neiighbors
By Arthur l.. Johnson

Despite the many things that are every where clamoring for oul attention, OPA, buyers strikes control of Atomic energy and the every day pressing need for sur vival, there are oft times that we pause to remind ourselves that today life is also worth living and in times past, there has always been the helter skelter of just existing.
 I was made quite aware of such a pause the other day when stopped at a store where l used to buy licorice on the way to gram mar school. The same little old lady was in her accustomed place, where she was held forth for the past twenty-five years. Mrs. Rose Grant has been in the grocery business for twelve years alone since the death of her husband.

JOHNSON SPONSOR


 OUTING
 Mrs. Mary A. and Sidney M. Johnson of the Johnson's Funeral Home, 2016 Main St., sponsored an outing last Sunday. A char tered bus was engaged to take the party up to the Moorish Ma tional Homestead, located in the beautiful Berkshire Hills in Great Harrington, Mass. The weather was ideal. Dancing and roller skating were enjoyed and a most appetizing chicken dinner, that more than filled all empty spots, topped the day.
 MT. Johnson showed his ability to entertain thirty-one (mostly widows) along the trip by point ing out spots of interest between Hartford and Great Harrington. Most interesting was the beauti- ful home of James Weldon John son, internationaly-known Negro composer who wrote the Negro National Anthem"
 Two other male companions as- sisted MT. Johnson on the trip: Freddie Chappelle, roller skating expert, just re-enlisted in the Navy for another two years, and Roland c. Irving, pianist and or chesetra leader at the Club Alden.

and west, he SAID. From the star
it looked too high for a landing
and when it was over the area Of
the terminal building, it still was
high
There was a terrific downpoul
at the time. We could barely see
the runway. Then the ship over
shot the field entirely, crashing
on the other side of the highway

A heavy wind doubtless added
to the pilots difficulties as HI
endeavored to bring the ship in.

it will live up to its name.
Thirty members were present
