Turkey, such step could be taken
only under a recommendation by the
majority of the United Nations AS
senbly, which, according to the Or
ganization's charter, is not en-
powered to make any forceful de-
cisions for the U. N.
Only the moral support of the
great majority of the Assembly
might induce the American Gov
ernment, under a direct threat to
Greece's independence. to widen the
scope of help to Greece.
Those who expect such a step to
be taken believe that, because of
lack of unanimity in the Security
Council where Russia is using her
veto with vengeance, some men,
bers of the United Nations, in
eluding Turkey and possibly Britain
and France, could offer armed con-
tingents to prevent the collapse of
Greece, whose army is worn out after
seven years of heavy fighting.
Aware of Implications.
This possibility is preying heavily
on the minds of American policy
makers. They are fully aware of
the implications of such action, but
they are equally aware of the conse-
quences to the world in the event
that Greece is permitted to fall be-
hind the iron curtain.
1t Would mean not only the sacri-
fee of weak country to the greed
of great power, but would also
mean the total collapse of all our
efforts to bring some sort of order
INTO Europe under the plan proposed
by Secretary of State Marshall June
S at Harvard University.
The refusal of Russia and all her
satellites to accept Gen. Marshall S
offer has crystallized in the minds of
the American people the idea that
Russia does not want to participate
in any constructive scheme for
world rehabilitation, and wants to
keep the world in economic turmoil
for political purposes.

Labor Law Repeal to Be Clear Cut Issue
Between Parties in 1913 Campaign

The one exception is Gov. Dewey,
who, perhaps, has better chance
than any other for the nomination.
Some political analysts have tried to
make it point in his favor that
Gov. Dewey has conspicuously avoid
ed indorsing the law. But that is not
a good point. In the first place, it
is inconceivsble that Gov. Dewey,
when the time comes, will fail to
show sympathetic approval of an act
so overwhelmingly supported by his
party's representatives in House
and Senate. To take a hostile
position would be the surest possi-
BILE way to blight his concededly
bright convention prospects.
Issue in New York Race.
In the second place. Gov. Dewey
did not need to indorse the Taft
Hartley law to acquire the per-
sonal and political enmity of the
labor leaders, the radicals and the
Communists. He had all that in
New York in 1916 when ne ran for
reelection as Governor. In that
year, with almost unprecedented
the American Labor party,
the Liberal party, the CIO and its
PhC, the AFL and all the radical
groups fought him from one end of
the State to the other as an enemy
of labor" and tool of the in
terests." And, in the election, he
f1guratively murdered the lot. His
nearly 100000 majority exhibited
them as impotent buffers. His vic
tory was the most significant of any
in that most significant year. Since
then Gov. Dewey passed strike re-
stricting law in the New York Leg
islature which caused him to be de-
again as 'labor's enemy"
So, 1t Is plain that whomever the
nominate, in labor
propaganda iargon, is sure to be
"labor's enemy"-either because he
voted or Endorsed the Taft-Hartley
Act or because, like Mr.. Dewey,
he had already earned the animos-
ity of the labor bosses. This Is the
position into which the latter have
gotten as a result of their savage
assaults on every public man who
refuses to line up with them. In
evitably, now. they are tied up with
Mr.. Truman, as Mr.. Truman is with
them. But the Democratic Party.

be, on this issue Is less than half.
heartedly with them or with him.
In contrast. the Republican candi-
date not only will be in sympathy
with the law and against repeal.
but will have an almost solid party
backing. Most polls and tests of vari-
Gus kinds as well as the judgment
of the most experienced politicians
seem to show that the Republicans
have the popular side in this con-
troversy. At any rate, it is healthy
thing, after twelve years of double
talk and duplicating platforms. at
last to have clear division between
the parties on an issue everybody
can understand.

The Brazilian hummingbird is

two seconds to embalm one. What
a job this man has! Two seconds
of work, and he has the rest of the
day to fish, hunt, play golf, or do
whatever he chooses. And embalmed
hummingbirds are very popular in
Belem. People buy them to hang
in their windows, from the front
mirrors of their cars, and to carry
as good luck charms.

Just 60 down every Leap Year and

After my talk with the humming-
bird embalmer, l met Mr.. Jack
Hamm, Pan American special ser
vice representative. He greeted me
with a rather amazing remark. He
said, Henry, have you ever seen
bird that moos like a cow?"
No, told Mr.. Hamm. I had never
had that pleasure, and would like to
avoid same.
Orchids Like Daisies.
Well, the next thing I knew was

Mr.. Hamm called an attendant.

organized labor agree on any po-
litical question. But on this they
are solid. The aged Mr. Green and
the unctuous Mr.. Murray are no
more positive than the truculent
Mr.. Whitney and the defiant Mr..
Lewis that the act is evil, unconsti-
tutional, economically unsound, poi
sonously designed not only to de-
stroy the unions but to knock the
props from under the republic, cause
national industrial chaos and gen.
eral distress. All of which is echoed
and indorsed by the Daily Worker
and the Communist Party. And
all of which. of course, is nonsense.
Nevertheless. having gone to these
silly and violent extremes before
the bill was passed. the accumu-
lated impetus was such that the
opposing groups could not stop
abruptly once the bill became law,
but were compelled to proceed along
the lines of their unrestrained
propaganda for a fight to the fn-
jsh." This includes not only test
ing the law in the courts but fore
ing the issue in the election.
Truman Committed.
Having used in his veto message
the arguments, and almost the Ian
guage. of the CIO general counsel,
Mr.. Lee Pressman, making the same
miSstatements and exhibiting the
same indifference to the facts, Mr..
Truman is irretrievably committed
to that side and is clearly the only
candidate advocates of repeal can
support in l948 Even before the
veto there was slight question of
that. now there is none. just as
clearly the AFL, CIO. all the pro-
fessional liberals and all the radi-
cal groups, plus the Communists,
are welded together in hostility to
the Republicans no matter whom
they named for President. For. even
though the Democratic convention
fails to pledge the party to repeal,
the Democratic candidate, Mr.. Tru-
man, is personally bound to favor
repeal Although, as pointed out in
previous article, a majority of the
Democrats in Congress cannot fol-
low him III that without complete
qualification, nothing else, after the
attitude he took in his veto, makes
sense for the President.
On the other hand, the Repub-
licans in Congress voted for the bill
With such complete unanimity that
it is absolutely certain their con-
vention will indorse and commend
it, pledge the party to perfect and
strengthen rather than modify or re-
peal it. To do otherwise would be an
unthinkable reputation of tine Re-
publican record and make the Re-
publlcans in Congress supremely
ridiculous. In addition, it would in
dict practically every Republican
leader-Senator Taft and Represen-
tative Hartley, Speaker Martin and
House Majority Leader Halleck. Sen
ators Vandenberg. Bricker, Lodge
and Saltonstall. who voted to over
ride the veto, and also Ex-Governor
Harold Stassen, who publicly in
dorsed the bill.
| In brief, every man who has any
real chance of being nominated for
President by the Republicans sup
ported the Hartley bill and is
already on the list of those to whose
political determination the labor
bosses have now pledged themselves.

Man to Man
Comparative Figures on Coal Reserves
Declared Fantasticallv Serious

there are not two billion tons all
told. The Bureau of Mines shows
3l9 billions for Colorado. The lead
ing operator cuts this to about
three billion tons Moreover, of
the 600 millions of bituminous pro-,
duced in the country last year, about
l27 million were strip coal Only
coal that has a shallow cover can
be stripped.
Now I do not vouch for these,
figures. I am not prepared to say
that the United States Bureau of
Mines is not right, or even con-
servative But when there is such
a wide discrepancy between State
Geological Surveys, as in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. and the Bureau of
Mines, even disregarding entirely
the private estimates of experienced
operators, something ought to be
done to reconcile the figures. For in
stance, are the coal reserves of
Pennsylvania 103 ,000, ,000, 900 tons as
estimated by the Bureau of Mines,
or are they 44.O00, 900 900 as claimed
by the Pennsylvania Geological
Survey in 1927? 1t is important to
know just how much coal there is
in Pennsylvania and in other States
of the Union and the United States
Government would seem to be the
best and most impartial agency to
ascertain just how much coal we
have in reserve.
Inventories Needed.
While our economy depends on
coal more than upon any other fuel,
we ought also to know what we
have in the way of known oil and
known gas reserves. We should also
inventory our reserves of Ignite and
shale as we'll as of power, particu-
larly hydroelectric power. These
figures should be authoritative And
after we have ascertained what we
have and where it is, we should de-
eide, as matter of national policy
as between the different energies,
how they might best be used in
lime of peace and how they must
be used in time of war. I believe in
competition and private initiative
because, in the long run, they are
good for the country. They are,
therefore, in the common interest
But when uninhibited. or even wild,
competition means the waste of ir-
replaceable natural resources, on
which, in increasing degree. as they
become more and more exhausted,
future generations must depend,
then I believe that the common
welfare should be the paramount
interest.
But probably our most pressing
need is craftsmanship enough in
Washington to establish, within the
Interior Department. Division of
Energy, charged with the RESPONSE
bility to make comprehensive in
vestigation so as to furnish the Con-
gress with facts on which it might
enunciate a policy which, if not
compulsory. might at least furnish
a pattern for the guidance of those
who depend upon any of our ener-
gses for any purpose whatsoever.

This Changing World
Limited Military Assistance to Greece
By i. S. Still Seen as Possibility

Because Of the weakness Of its
presentation, the Marshall Plan
came to be regarded by Americans
as simply another Good Samaritan
like UNRRA or the World
Bank into which we poured billions
of dollars without even moral profit
The aim of the Marshall Plan is
to help those countries which wish
to recover economically. In the
process of doing so they necessarily
would eliminate Communist doc
trines of class legislation, regimen
tation of production and political
oppression.
The western governments which
accepted Americas proffered aio
realized that American interference
in their domestic affairs would be
less than would be the case in 8
commercial bank loan, but that
their people would be kept busy ano
would not hear the siren voices
from Moscow.
But after a long, disastrous wal
and an equally disastrous postwar
period the European nations out.
side the iron curtain possess q
powerful fear complex. They fear
that even if they 60 back to work.
Russia will interfere with them in
the same way that it interferes in
Greece.
Molotov Confirms Fear.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
confirmed this fear when he closed
the door in the faces of the Western
powers at the preliminary Paris
conference. What is the good of
accepting the constructive Ameri-
can plan, the Western European
nations say, when the USSR can
at any time blow up the works?
The answer to this question was
contained in the previously enunci-
ated Truman doctrine. Europeans
understood that If Russia inrerfered
with them the United States would
be on their side
Greece is the touchstone. The
Soviet government is doing it's ut
most to stir up the troubled Balkan
waters by preventing the U. N. from
terminating the undeclared war be-
tween Greece and her northern
neighbors. Military quarters expect
that Russia will do even more. AS
soon as the token British force is
withdrawn from Greece the gueril-
las and international brigades are
expected to launch a full-scale Of
fensive.
Military observers, who are cog
infant of the fighting ability of
Greek government forces, agree
that they are not capable of re-
sisting the gathering avalanche
from the north. If we and other
members of the U. N. remain as
mere interested spectators, letting
the Soviet satellites do their, work

Europe will collapse,

to document his doubts about the
Governments figures. He points
out that the Bureau of Mines gives
103 billion tons as the bituminous
coal reserves of Pennsylvania. The
Geological Survey of that State, in
1927, claimed only A billion tons.
Mr.. Crichton Is of the opinion that
there are not 10 billions in Penn
sylvania today. The discrepancy
between Mr.. Crichton's estimate of
10 billion tons and the A billions
of the Pennsylvania Geological Sur
vey in 1927 is a serious one. But
the difference between either esti-
mate and the 1O3 billions estimated
by the Bureau OF Mines is fan
tastically serious.
The Bureau of Mines credits Ohio
with 96 billion tons of coal reserves.
The State Geological Survey, in
$780, estimated only 10 billions.
Mr.. Crlchton's guess is six billion
tons. AS a matter of State pride
alone, it would hardly be likely
that Ohio would underestimate its
reserves.
Figures in West Virginia..
sIn West Virginia, another of the
important coal producing States,
comparable figures are: Bureau of
Mines. 155 billion tons; West vir-
ginia Geological Survey. 1865 bill
lion tons, which is admitted to be
high. According to Mr.. Crichton,
the oldest producer in Kentucky
says that the West Kentucky fields,
and most of those in East Kentucky,
will be worked out in so years. To
the contrary, the Bureau of Mines
still stands by it's figures of 1876
billion tons. In Michigan, the fig
ures OF 40 years ago were II billion
tons. These have now been reduced
to two billion.
The situation in the West is even
worse. In Utah. the U. s. Geologi-
cal Survey comes up with 1876 billion
tons. The Bureau of Mines, in the
same department of the Govern
ment, has recently reduced this to
101 billion tons, while the leading
