further study and refinement will
make it completely safe. Heretofore
quinine and atabrine have been the
main weapons against all types of
malaria, effectively suppressing the
nonrecurring form but giving only
temporary relief in the relapsing
form. Now, as result of what was
done in our wartime laboratories,
there appears to be good reason for
confidence that in time the disease
may be totally conquered and eradi-
Gated.
What this means in human terms
speaks for itself. In our own coun-
try, principally in the South, about
100000 persons are the victims of
the most vicious type of malaria, and
in the world at large according to
reliable estimates, no fewer than
800,000,000 individuals suffer from
the disease in one form or another.
What our scientists have accom-
plished in this field may be much
less spectacular and revolutionary
than their creation of atomic energy,
but as far as the life and happiness
OF mankind are concerned, only time
can tell which will prove the greater
achievement.

be liberal-or they may be the opposite.
which Is authoritarian. The authori-
tartan Is one who believes that a par
ticular group, in government in labor or
in business, has a special mission to plan
the whole pattern of society and to
require all individuals, whether they like
it or not, to fit into that pattern" Both
Fascists and Communists fall into the
authoritarian category.
Getting down to cases in the interna-
tlonal field, Mr.. Ball asserts that among
the great powers only France, Britain
and the United States have the demo-
cratic concept of liberty-with China
moving in that direction Russia, on
the other hand, is committed to the
authoritarian state, where small group
counts for everything.

The United States, he contends, must
fight against the extension of the veto
power in the Security Council of the
United Nations and seek it's eventual
elimination. 1t must seek to implement
those expressions of concern for indi-
Vldual rights and freedoms now written
into the U. N. Charter and press for a
real international bill of rights for in
dividuals capable of enforcement
In order to make it possible for the
United States to exert its influence on
the side of true liberalism this coun-
try, according to Mr.. Ball, must do
two things. 1t must first be strong,
militarily and industrially. And here
Mr.. Ball breaks with some of his Re-
publican colleagues, for he supports
military training for Americans and a
unified department of national defense
Secondly, the country must protect
the individual freedom of its citizens
They need protection from the present
administration which is seeking to
force on them so-called complete eco
nomic security-at the price of indi-
Vidual liberties.
Let's face the clear fact" Mr.. Ball
said, that the great threat to freedom
today is not from the political right,
but from the extreme political left"
In the last decade in this country
man has been dubbed liberal" if he
supported any and all legislation IA
vored by labor and subsidies for all
kinds of people. Mr.. Ball is not op-
posed to labor, but he insists that
labor must not dominate the people
any more than capitalistic monopoly.
To be liberal under Mr.. Balls def
milton is the desire of many-but few
have the courage it takes

Too Many Scraps
From the Media (Pa) News

From the Media Pa) News.
1t has been said that five million hun
cry families in other parts of the world
could live on the scraps from American
tables.
The question is: How are we going
to get those scraps to them?
When we scrape the plates to feed
the dog. or reluctantly throw good food
into the garbage, we may feel a sense
of guilt over throwing away food when
there is such a great need for it all
over the world. Yet there seems to be
nothing to do about it,
1t is true that we can't gather up our
leftovers and ship them abroad. But
we can contribute to starving humanity
by seeing to it that we don't have so
many scraps, that we buy less food so
there will be less left over. If each
housewife in our country would make
it habit to buy only enough food to
satisfy the minimum requirements of
her family, instead of over-buying to
meet their maximum appetite, the
amount saved would be enormous.

This Changing World
BY Constantine BrOipn

Communists, headed by Maurice ThoreZ
are making strong bid to capture at
least 30 per cent of the popular vote
and Russia is willing to help them
along. This was demonstrated by the
spectacular announcement that 500 900
tons of wheat was being sent from the
U. S. S. r. to help feed the French
people.
But outside this indication of good
will on the part of the Moscow delega-
ton which is intended to strengthen
the position of the Communists at the
Forthcoming election, there is no sign,
SO far. of any progress toward arranging
for peace treaties, in the real meaning
of the word
\ X
In the Balkan and Central European
satellite states, the Russian imposed
puppet governments are ruling by terror.
The chances of Russia agreeing to with
draw its large forces are still limited.
Secretary of State Byrnes is expected to
talk strongly about the necessity of with
drawing these troops, which add con-
siderably to the shortages of food and
housing in all the puppet states. The
Russians are expected to reply with the
same vigor.
They are fully aware that as soon as
the Red armies are removed from Bull
garia, Romania, Hungary and Austria
the population will overthrow the pup
pet regimes and establish true repre-
sentative governments. The free cleo
tons in the American occupied zone in
Germany, where the Communists polled
little more than 5 per cent of the vote,
have shown the Soviet government the
Importance of keeping their forces in
areas they consider in Russias orbit.
Peace treaties require the immediate
withdrawal of all conquering forces
from the former enemys territory. This
Russia can i'll afford these days.

among the Big Four leading to the con-
clusion of peace treaties such as were
signed after the First World War are
considered extremely remote. In the

task force is flrSt-rate weapon of war
as well as of police: in a world in which
direct naval opposition is unlikely, at
least for a good many years to come,
the seas offer to the United States and
Britain vast freedom of action and q
vast area of security. If all the modern
warships in the world, save American
and British, were gathered together
under single command, they would not
be able to offer any great opposition to
single such American or British task
force. Outside the American and
British Navies, there is not modern
aircraft carrier in the world, and there
is only one reasonably modern battle
ship (the French RichelieU.
Then there is amphibious power,
speciality of the United States Navy,
which was applied with such vast sue
cess in the Pacific. AS police weapon
it is of the greatest value, and as the
spearhead to the strategic employment
of land-based air power or armies, it
is always a vital factor in American
strategy. The increased reach of our air
power, and its increased destructive
ability due to the atomic bomb, has not
taken away the necessity for following
up its efforts, for gaining new bases, for
protecting our own outlying bases
against land attack.

they have been overrun by ground
forces. To an American this means
either that we can send our ground
forces outward from our shores to do
this job as they have done it before, or
that if we have to fight at all we shall
fight on our own soil.
Our hope, of course, is that we shall
never have to fight another war. But
that hope will surely be aided toward
accomplishment by the realization on
the part of others not only that we are
too formidable to be attacked with any
prospect of success, but that we possess

In Re: Editorial on Union Mercer

In Re: Editorial on Union Mercer
To the Editor of The Star:
Congratulations for the timely edito
rial in The Star (April "a issue) on the
merger of the United Federal Workers
and the State. County and Municipal
Workers, both CIO afiliates. Citing the
unions sharp attack on the administra-
tons foreign and domestic policies, in
conformity with the new Communist
party line, you correctly warned Federal
agencies to be on guard against these
forces. In Washington, where our Gov
ernment's policies are determined, your
newspaper, along with other Capital
da1lles. have special responsibility for
turning the spotlight on potential
dangers, such as any C. P.-dominated
organization is today.
Now that you have taken the COM
rades" well in hand, it can be expected
that campaign of vilification and boy
colt will be conducted by the smear
bund against your newspaper.
I am unable to understand why Presi-
dent Truman sent message of con-
gratulations on the merger to the union
convention. Certainly the President and
his labor advisers were aware that the
leaders of both unions are consistent
c. P. liners, and that an attack on his
policies was forthcoming. Many of us
still remember the days of the Hitler
Stain pact, when the comrades" were
calling President Roosevelt war
monger' and were picketing the White
House on the day Germany attacked
Russia.
The thousands of Government en-
ployes VINO are members of the newly
merged union, until now unaware of
their leaders Communist sympathies,
should consider whether they wish to
be pawns in the Russia first" quest
for world domination.

Conquering Malaria

Not all our wartime scientific prof.
ects were devoted to keeping ahead
OF the enemy in perfecting offensive
and defensive weapons in a deadly
contest of destruction and counter
destruction. Since VI day numer-
Gus secrets have been revealed to us
to show how the chemists, physicists
and laboratory technicians, during
the dark years of bloodletting and
devastation, also labored creatively
for the physical betterment of man.
The latest revelation to this effect
has to do with malaria, and it means
nothing less than that the world is
on the threshold of achieving one of
the greatest health advances in its
history.
AS told for the first time to the
American Chemical Society, this is
the story of a wholly constructive
effort yielding results whose value
can be measured in terms of the
well-being of almost half the earth's
Inhabitants. The project began over
four years ago as part of the medical
activities of the Office of Scientific
Research and Development. Carried
out secretly in scores of laboratories
throughout the country at cost of
$7,O00,000, this most concentrated
attack ever launched against the

ton of some $4,000 new compounds.

Sea Power Needed
By George Fielding Eliot

1t is sometimes Said-rather too glibly
that the day of sea power is over, that
navies are obsolete, that air power plus
the atomic bomb and the guided missile
have brought an end to the importance
of floating power.
This Is a proposition which the
American citizen will do well to examine
very carefully indeed. 1t is true that in
doing so he will need a new pair of
glasses, or rather new slide-rule. The
old standards by which he used to meas
ure his naval needs are, indeed, obsolete
There are no rival navies save that of
Britain, and it will hardly occur to any
American to measure our fleet against
the British, Indeed there seems every
evidence that responsibility for the
policing of the high seas will now become
joint Anglo-American responsibility,
task to be divided between them and
conducted by common agreement under
the general terms of the Charter of the
United Nations as major contribution
Of the English-speaking nations to the
task of world police.
But if there are no rival fleets in the
sense of possible enemy fleets, why do
we need such a big navy? This question
the citizen. the taxpayer, has every
right to seek an answer.
First of all, of course, there is the use
of naval power as mobile police power.
The United States has many outlying
bases, but there are large parts of the
world in which our base facilities are
limited or nonexistent. Moreover it is
not to be anticipated that we can scatter,
our land-based air power around the
world; much of it must, for purposes of
training as well as security, be kept
concentrated in the North American
continent and the islands Immediately
adjacent thereto. The naval carrier
task force provides an admirable means
of carrying out distant police mission;
it is, in essence a mobile floating base
for air power, which can be sent
wherever it is needed, or at least can
bring its planes within striking distance
of targets which cannot be as quickly
reached by any other means as quickly
and readily available to us. 1t is far less
expensive to maintain two or three such
task forces in each of our-two oceans
than it would be to maintain the neces-
sary system of bases to attain equal
mobility for land-based air power to do
the same job.
Aside from police operations, however,
sea power is still of immense Importance
in our national strategy. The carrier

World Law Leuoue

In pursuance of resolution
adopted at its meeting last Decem-
ber in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Ameri-
can Bar Association Is proceeding
with a novel plan to organize the
lawyers of the world in the interest
of international understanding and
cooperation in the field of juris-
prudence and, incidentally, in the
broader field of general good will
among nations. A committee headed
by Robert N. Anderson of this city
has submitted to the bar associa-
tions of all foreign countries a draft
OF a proposed constitution for an
International Bar Association, COM
posed OF recognized organizations of
lawyers in the respective countries.
Briefly stated, the international
Bar Association would seek to estab-
llSh friendly relations among law
yers of all nations, to promote the
cause of Jurisprudence on a world
scale, particularly as regards the
study of comparative law; to contrib
ute as feasible to the administration
of justice under law throughout the
world, to aid in solving legal prob
lens of the United Nations Organi-
zation and to create a meeting
ground" for lawyers called upon to
practice before the international
Court of Justice. There should be
real opportunities for service by
such a forwardlooking organiza-
ton in world striving with in
creasing fervor to establish a rule of
law and order in lieu of one based
on force of arms.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The definition of a llberal-1946 va
riety-made by Senator Ball, Republican,
of Minnesota, constitutes an arresting
document which is worthy of study.
Boiled down, a liberal, Mr.. Ball said.
stands for the freedom of the individual,
in opposition to control by capi-
tai, by organized labor or by gov
eminent. Too great concentrations of
power in the hands of any group or
government are dangerous to that free
dom of thought and action for which
mankind has struggled through the
ages.
Speaking at the commencement exer-
clses Of Syracuse University-during
which Senator Ball was given an LII. D.
honorary degree-he cut sharply across
the usual, haphazard definition of
liberal in this country today.
Many proposals are being advanced" >"
he said, under a false label of liberal
ism, designed to assure all the people
in this country high standard of liv-
ing, regardless of what the individual
does for himself, simply by passing a
law"
What Mr.. Ball stands for-and other
liberals like him-is the greatest pos
sible degree of equality of opportunity
for all in the economic and political
fields. What measures are necessary
to achieve this goal must expand, not
curtail, individual freedoms. In
scramble for economic security for
every one, this goal is lost sight of by
many of the so-called liberals
I'VE have a tendency he said. ito
confuse economic security with freedom
Actually the most secure individual in
our society is a prisoner serving a life
sentence. but he is hardly free The
people of Germany in the early 1930s
were so intent on achieving economic
security that they permitted their lib
critics to be liquidated without even
fight" And this, in the opinion of
Mr.. Ball, could be the fate of American
liberties
The true American liberal is faced
with the. problem of maintaining liberal
policies in both the international and
domestic fields. Mr.. Ball does not re-
gard conservatism as the opposite of
liberalism, certainly from the political
point of view. A conservative, he insists.
is merely one who would go slow about
destroying present institutions. The
opposite of a conservative is a radical
and both conservative and radical may
