Shek In two constantine brown'
ways. First Of all, we agreed to sell
the Chinese government 130,000.0 .00(
rounds of rifle ammunition, criti-
caily needed by the hard-pressed
Nationalist forces. In the second
place it was made clear to the
Chinese that although they had
failed to qualify for a $500, 900, ,00C
American loan, financial aid could
still be provided through the
Export Import Bank for specific &C.
ceptable projects.
Most important, perhaps, of these
two was the assurances that Ameri-
can economic aid is still available
for Secretary of State Marshall's
earlier statement that China coulo
not qualify by June 80 for the half
billion dollar loan caused the Chi
nese dollar to sink near the vanish
ing point There may be no way
now of rescuing the Chinese cur
rency from its fantastic imitation
but there is the prospect Of Ameri.
can economic help when the means
are found to re-eStabl1Sh the cur
rency on a stabilized basis.
Message to Indonesia.
No less important than the action
with respect to China was the mes
sage which the State Department

nesian republic, supporting the

ventlon decisions are taken, II tIlal
proves necessary
These are the ambitious resolu-
tions reached in a quiet, week-long
meeting in Chicago of the liberal
forces aligned with the Progressive
Citizens of America. Every State
director of Pea was present for
preliminary surveys OF the Stately
State situation. Over the week end
the executive board met and re-
viewed their findings. The aims
above-stated were then agreed to
without dissent.
Wallace Not Member.
The Pea program insures fiery
noisy and possibly confusing cam
paign. 1t probably adds up to a
peace party" that will ask the
voters for their franchise on the
ground that the opposition is lead
ing the country into war. An In
triguing angle is that such a party
would attract isolationists who are
predoninantly conservative, and
pro-Russian radicals.
Pea is taking it for granted that
Henry Wallace will be their stand
ard-bearer if their siege OF the
Democratic convention fails ano
their third party materializes. Ex-
perienced politicoes close to Mr.
Wallace have already warned them
that their assumption takes in lot
Of territory.
Mr.. Wallace did not attend the
Chicago parley. He is not member
of Pea and never was. He was
never a member of the old Political
Action Committees which, with the
exception of CIO-PAC, coalesced
with other liberal groups to form
Pea last November.
Mr.. Wallace is not a calculating
politician: he acts on his own i'm
pulses. Those who have tried te
guide him along orthodox politica.
lines are the first to declare him un-
predictable.
Brush Aside Cautions.
| Pea leaders have brushed aside
these cautions. They are building
on Wallace and they will be caught
short If Wallace's mood fails te
catch theirs at the given moment
The decision to get ready now
stems from the State election laws
which make spur-o -the-moment
third parties impossible. At best

ment, provided for in the Cheribon
agreement last year, has been de-
layed by the insistence Of one group
Of Indonesian extremists on full
independence now. The Cheribon
agreement specified, however, that
Dutch sovereignty was to continue
until January l, 1949, and it was
insistence on respect for this part
of the agreement which led last
week to the resignation Of Premier
Sutan Sjahrir.
Both the Chinese and Indonesian
developments are symptoms Of the
active foreign policy which the
United States now is pursuing
throughout the world in defense of
its international political position.
We cannot hope to maintain our ma
tional prestige and accomplish our
aims in the European arena, 1t is
felt in Washington, If we permit
strife and chaos to persist in the
region which is most vital to us
strategically - the great Pacific
basin.
Lesser Of Two Evils.
AS much as criticism Of General
issimo Chang Kai-shek's regime In
China is justified, as much as we
realize the depths to which graft
and corruption have penetrated the
National government, 1t Is still the
lesser of two evils. American policy
trainers believe communism Is total
ly unacceptable, either in the inter-
est Of the Chinese or In our own
interest, and it Is not the policy Of
this government now to stand idly
by while the Soviet-supported
Chinese Reds take what they want
in China.
AS far as Indonesia is concerned
our chief interest is to see conditions
settled in that part of the Pacific so
that the new political entity can be
drawn into a healthy economic rela-
tionship with the United States and
with the other Pacific peoples. AS
long as Indonesia remains disturbed
it remains q fertile field for elements
which would subvert the democratic
system which is being created in the
former Dutch colonies. To prevent
that we use our economic strength
to support our political representa-
tions to avert the outbreak Of fresh
fighting.
At a time when we are graphing
with q shrewd opponent for preser-
vation Of a free and democratic
Europe We require peace and stabil-
ity in our own back yard.

So quietly as to escape public at

Innocent-sounding Bills.
Last week q subcommittee of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee heard power company wit
nesses on two Understanding
bills introduced In April by Repre-
sentative Miller, Republican, OF
Connecticut. This week part Of one
day will be given to the Federal
Power Commission, at the urgent
request of the commission members,
who discovered at the 1lth hour
what was going on.
Among the things they discov-
cred was a purpose to change the
definition of stream "navigability"
to make the term apply, as one
commission lawyer expresses it, only
to streams capable of floating super
dreadnaughts. The judicial con-
cept of navigability followed by the
Supreme Court for hundred years
and finally fixed, it was thought, for
all time in the famous New River
case, would be disregarded.

Report On Fertilizer Conference
BY E. H. Agnew. President
S. G. Farm Bureau.

About $50 fertilizer manutac,,
turers, dealers and salesman ana
experts from various agricultural
agencies and a few farmers at
tended the Clemson Fertilizer
Conference on July 1916.
w. A. Minor, Assistant Secre--
tary of Agriculture, was banquet
speaker on the subject The Fer
tilizer Outlook" His remarks
were authoritative and lnloflila'
tional but not very encouraging
to farmers. He said that supplies
of Nitrogen would be snghlly
larger in 1948 than in 1917 Dt'i
that most of the increase would
be in the form of solutions to 60
TO manufacturers Of mixed lei
tilizers and not in solid form lor
armer use.
Imports of nitrates will be less
and exports will be less--aVall-
bic domestic supply about the
same as last year. Slight lncreaS--
es in tonnages of phosphateS ana
potash will afford no appreciaple
elief from present shortages due
o greatly increased domestic de-
mand.
The sum and substance OF the
whole conference was that all
kinds of fertilizers and materials
will continue short. Plants under
III. S. Army control are making
$4,000 tons nitrateS per month
| for export to Germany, Japan
and Korea.
Farm Bureau advises South
Carolina farmers to continue on
the alert and take delivery at eV-
cry opportunity for their l94I
| fall and 1948 spring requirements.
Crops requiring heavy nitrogen
and potash applications IN add
ton to mixed fertilizers will
likely suffer if planted in e%ce&,
sive acreages. Heavy use OF mixed
fertilizers this fall will mean Il
shortage of mixed goods next
spring.
Much stress was placed by var
ious specialists in the fields 81
