Wheat Or Meat

Herbert Hoover suggests that we restrict
use of wheat for animals and save it for
humans as a step toward feeding a starving
world. This is good enough advice from the
cost viewpoint, because bread is the cheapest
human food. But from a nutritional stand
point, Mr.. Hoover is on thin ice.
Proteins are absolutely essential to health,
strength, growth. Wheat is not a complete
protein itself. But feed it to cows, hogs, sheep
hens, and it comes out as he complete pro-
TEN, in the forms of meat, fowl, milk, cheese
and eggs.
The only complete protein that can be
produced without grain is fish. Unless we
propose to live on fish, in view of the
draught-caused corn shortage we must feed
wheat to animals to get the proteins that
make the difference between lowest-level
subsistence and -%healthful, zestful, produc-
tive living.

It Could Be Eisenhower

One of the correspondents who has been
looping the loop on the Pacific coast with
Senator Taft writes that the most potentially
formidable, the most popularity discussed
presidential prospect along the line OF march
is General of the Army Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
Not especially solacing for the Ohio Sena-
tor, is it? Well, he went west, as Horace
Greeley advised young men to do some
generations ago. He wanted to discover. how
he stood out in the right hand of the Con-
tinent. Obviously he is learning plenty:
This correspondent who has sharp and
seeing eve says there is a strong Eisenhower
for-President boom in the making. line
materials for it are visible at every hand.
It has begun to take form and substance IN
the past two weeks"
It would be wrong, however, the cores
pondent explains, to state there is as yet a
strong Eisenhower political tide running
above the surface" 1t is beneath the sur
face "and it is plain that the politicians de-
tect it. feel it, and are talking a lot about
it." AS he puts it:
"There is as yet apparent in this part OF
the country and probably not
except in Kansas no significant organl-
cation support among republican leaders Tor
General Eisenhower's nomination.
"There is apparent significant and substan-
tial responsiveness to the Eisenhower talk.
There is resistance to it which comes from
the feeling of republican leaders that they
would really like to nominate a candidate
who has come up through the party ranks.
But there is manifest receptivity to it by
republican leaders who are quickly con-
WINGED that in General Eisenhower they
would be winning the election in the same
act"
What are the republicans liable to do about
this? It would seem that as they have no
avowed or other potential candidate who
could sweep the country in the forthcoming
presidential election they would be eager
to fix upon General Eisenhower as their
obviously strongest prospect.
AS the General has said that he wants
nothing to do with politics, but at the same
time adds that he has known men to change
even their religion, he centrainly has not
closed the door to the nomination.

It's Passing Strange

!. This story going the rounds Of the news
papers about an eighty-five-year old man in
. northern Ontario who has always worn
woman's raiment because his mother de-
cided to raise her sixth son as a daughter,
and who finds no discomfort in long skirts,
is reminiscent of an incident told by General
Clusters widow in her book on The Last
Stand.
There was a woman" cook in the from
tier post, she -says,-a burly creature, who
shaved in secret daily, wore calico dresses,
spoke in a falsetto voice, and prepared
marvellous meals considering the quality of
the supplies available. Finally "she" took
sick and died, when the Army doctor re-
,vealed what he had known all along. The
cook was a man.
: Unable to make his way in a mans world,
his strength, he decided that he
could better make a livelihood as an imita-
ton woman in an Army kitchen.
There is this difference between the
Canadian and the Army cook. Whereas the

Up To Russia

Undoubtedly, it is trite to say that the
United Nations faces it's greatest crisis.
Everybody-even the diplomats who tried
hardest to hide their concerns saying
that the UN has been pushed to where it
must put up or shut up
It's trite, but it's true. It's so true, and
SC important, that it can't possibly be re-
peated too often. The more sincerely one
hopes that the UN eventually will succeed,
the more it becomes his duty to insist that
the world peace organization must abso-
lutely find some Way-and soon-of set
ting international arguments without ex-
ploding atom bombs.
We don't nave to ask whether the UN ex-
pertinent was worth while. 1t was more
than that. 1t was inevitable. There had to
be a table around which spokesmen for the
nations could S. and substitute words for
bullets. We provided such a table. 1t is
the United Nations.
AS of now, the UN is not fu%nctioning. With
her veto, Russia is stopping dead every eff
fort to attack a potential cause of future war
She has the Security Council stymied. The
General Assembly has no veto, but neither
has it any power to take positive action on
other than procedural matters.
Now the United States wants to build up
the Assembly to fill some gaps left by the
Councils impotency. Unfortunately, the
possibilities along this line are very limited.
The Assembly can remain in permanent
session through a standing committee, and
it can provide special committees-which
Russia forbids the Council to do-to watch
aggression. These expedients can make the
Assembly a better sounding board for the
worlds conscience.
But, as the battle proceeds to build up the
Assembly in hope of saving the UN, we must
keep in mind practical things.
There is no way to give the General AS
sembly any positive powers without revls-
ing the UN charter. Such revision is subject
to exactly the same veto that Russia has in
the Council. It is not conceivable that the
Soviet Union will withhold that veto against
a move to get around the veto.
If Russia would cooperate to the extent
of not vetoing such a charter change, she
would cooperate to the extent of not abus-
ing her Council veto. And then the charter
change would be unnecessary.

ROME.-Here in Italy, it is
easy to foresee and describe the
consequences of American mac
ton in the present world eco
nomic crisis. If we do not
promptly meet the challenge,
Italy's barely reborn freedom
will meet an early death. And
thus will be set in remorseless
motion a chain of events which
must end with political and
strategic disaster, utter, COM
plete and irretrievable except
by the terrible expedient of
war, for us in the United States.
1t is less easy, yet equally
important, to estimate the eff
fectiveness of the remedies
which the United States can Of
fer. Yet after exhaustively con-
sulting all available authorities,
this correspondent ventures the
opinion that Italy is a present
ly good investment in this in
evitably risky world.
Reams of statistics could be
offered to support the statement
that the Italians have already
achieved a triumph in postwar
reconstruction. In every minis

basically procedural. 1t can't be resolved by
tinkering with the machinery. It can be
stated simply:
The ,non-Soviet powers lave compromised
and backed water until their backs are
against the open sky. One more step and
they totter over the cliff. Russia presses
forward She refuses to concede or COM
promise.
We, and those who share our viewpoint,
have made a stand under Secretary of State
Marshall. The crisis is here. It involves one
vital question:
Will Russia bull it through and break
up the UN? Or, discovering that we have
backed as far as we can 60, will she play
ball for world peace?
