First Week At Rio


The first week of inter-Amerlc an
defense consultations at RIO de
Janeiro has ended on a jarring
note after all Of the fine and pur-
poseful expressions of hemisphere
solidarity. For reasons as yet IN
explained. Argentina has sudden
ly proposed that the projected de-
Tense treaty binding the twenty
one American republics should ex-
c]ude the use of force to put down
an act OF aggression by one of
the republics against another.
Armed forces would be called into
operation under the Argentine pro-
posal only in case of aggression
against h e Western Hemisphere
by some power outside it. This is
a wholly unrealistic idea. and. as
an unidentified delegate remarked
at the mountain resort Of Petro-
polls, it would be a retreat from
the very principles Of the Act of
Chapultepec Of ls45. to which al
though not an original party. Ar
gentina ~afterward fully sub
scribed. For the act laid it down
explicitly that every act of a
state against the integrity OF the
lnVlolability Of he territory. or
against the sovereignty of DO
lltical independence Of an Ameri-
can state, shall be con-
sacred as an act of ag-
erosion against the other states
which sign this act" In other
words, aggression is aggression,
within or without the hemisphere.
But the Argentine proposal has
even worse shortcomings, and
Senator Vandenberg put them into
capsule form when ne remarked
that 1t would turn the proposed
inter-American treaty INTO an
armed alliance against the rest of
the world. That. of course, would

that he has launched a program
aimed at conspiracies to maintain
or to increase present prices in
the food, clothing and hous-
ing fields" Then, like in the
ancient Greek theater, you hear
choruses either moaning or ap-
plauding to point up the action.
In this scene you get means from
the NAM side of the stage and
applause from the labor chorus.
Scene three is the office OF Tom
Clark's boss, President Truman.
He says yes, he approves Of his
boy Toms action. But then the
audience moan when the boss ad-
mits it probably won't have any
thing to do with lowering prices.
All during the play messengers
rush on the stage from the vari-
Gus government bureaus to shout
wildly that prices are gong up,
that the dollar is only buying tour-
bits worth now. and that things
don't look so good. After each an.
nouncement all the actors lush out
and moan with the chorus. And
there is plenty of audience parti,
cipation at these points.
You also keep getting bulletins
Of off-stage action. Congress is in

places. There's the inference that
catsup at 3 half-buck a bottle is
more sinificant in Labaddie than
in New York. Anyway, it's prob
ably cooler investigating out in the
country than it would be in Wash
ington. But it certainly ISM going
to surprise anybody when thew re-
port that shirts and boomers are
too expensive in Coloma as well
as Pittsburgh.
The word is that the show
promises to improve as il goes
along. That's welcome news be-
cause any change in it would 90
for the better. 1t couldn't be
more corny than it has been so
far.
Anybody in the audience could
tell the actors or producers in a
minute what is wrong with the
show. TO make it a success. all
somebody has to do is rush out
on the stage and say, I'm going

prices Or they could just saw

WASHINGTON - Thus far. this
country has gone through the
world economic crisis like a nation
in a dream-an opium dream of
peace, plenty and pleasure. A
single fact should be sufficient to
arouse eve the most torpid.
When Sir Wilfrid Eady and his
colleagues of the British delega-
ton made their presentation at
the Treasury last week. they
warned the Americans across the
table that without immediate aid,
Britain would be forced to pull out
OF Germany. This was no trifling
nonsense about being unable to
pay the full British half share of
German occupation costs. 1t was
a %despairing report of a despair
ing decision by a %despairing Brit
lsh Cabinet. And the decision was
to get out of Germany bag and
baggage, troops, administrators
and mimeograph forms. if the
price of staying there was to be
starvation for the British people.
Such was the inward seriousness
of the British crisis. When Secre-
tary OF the Treasur. John 1yder

The British withdrawal from
Germany, fortunately only con-
ditionally projected, and now put
off, would have openly proclaimed
the disastrous effects of che three
vices of American policy-being
too little, too late and too loud.
1t would also have faced the
American policy : makers, all I'M
prepared as they are, with a grim
choice. That choice would have
been between doubling our own
German occupation burden in
men as well as money in order

The Show Must Go On
BY LARSEN

WASHINGTON, - The first cur
tain has now gone up on the new
Capitol extravaganza entitled
High Prices, They're All Your
Fault" Compared to the last
show, which just closed here for
the summer, and which starred
Howard Hughes and Senator
Brewster, this one previews like
a real turkey.
Unfortunately, every U. S. citi-
zen has paid dearly for front-row-
center seats, ana now has to at.
tend whether he wants to or not.
The whole thing has a sameness
peculiar to so many washington
productions.
Almost the first actor on the
stage is Emile REEVE, a CLIO vice
president. His lines 90 something
like this:
THE high cost Of living is the
fault Of big business. 1t is taking
excess profits. The promises Of the
National Association OF Manufac-
%turers and the Republicans of low
err prices with high production
haven't materialized."
He says the President should
call a conference Of labor, indus
trial and agricultural leaders to
work out a voluntary program O.:
price reduction. But it develops in
ensuing action that Mr.. REEVE adj
mits such a conference probably
wouldn't be successful anyway,
and that his idea Of cooperation
is to have industry and agricuI-
ture cooperate with the CLIO as a
sort of moderator. He also throws
in a vague line about return to
controls which, naturally, wouldn't
include any wage controls.
The next actor is from the NAM.
He rusaes on the stage. throwing
handouts and press releases to the
audience. He says that if it
weren't for high wages and de-
creasing productivity of labor,
prices would 60 down.
1t is obvious that this particular
dramatic action was borrowed at
the last minute from the Hughes
Brewster production. It is known
as the "I'm-right-you're : wrong
techniqre. In this show if lust
doesn't have the same effect. You
have the feeling that the audience
suspects it is more Of a ''both-o.-
us-are-wrong' sort of thing.
In the next scene you see A.
torney General Tom Clark, finger
ing his bow tie and announcing

ticket. A candidate must have the
signature of fifty voters in each county,
with the petitions on file with the
county election commissioner, to be AZ
sured a place on the ballot.
With Mr.. Rankin a candidate it il
probable that the campaign will revolve
around the explosive subject of race

tor Bilbo's life.

1t must be understood, more
over, that nothing has really been
solved by last weeks simple act
Of releasing the British Treasury
from its obligation to pay out dol
lars for. pounds. The exchange Of
letters between Secretary Snyder
and Chancellor of The Exchequer
Hugh Dalton merely halted the

bank to solvencv. Two things have

tive. On the negative side. no way
seems yet to have been found to
relax the loan agreements trad
ing clauses. That means the Brit
ish cannot yet conserve their
dwindling dollars by channeling
their purchases to soft money
areas. On the positive side. the
remaining balance of the British
loan-$4Oo. 900. 900 - has been froz-
en- by our government. This is a
vital fact. 1t is hardly apparent
through the murky bureaucrats'
English of the Dalton-Snyder cor
respondence, yet sure to provoke
the most bitter reaction in Lon
don.
C~uriously enough, the State de-
partment representatives were re-
sponsible for freezing the loan
balance. They argued that if the

A newcomer to the Local II

Parry Unit team. This team will
be entered in the American
Division of the League and will
play their games on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings at Will

NOTRE DAME, Ind. -
Twice elected captain of Notre
Dame basemall teams, catcher
Tom Sheehan, of New Haven,
Conn, is seeking to earn his
fourth baseball monogram at
Notre Dame while pacing the
Irish nine to one of the most
succ full seasons in Notre
Dame baseball history.
Sheehan, who captained Notre
Dame baseball teams in 1914
and again in 1946, holds the
lead in the individual batting
race on the Irish diamond squad
at the halfway mark of the 26l
game schedule with an average
only shade under the 800
mark.
T8he big, powerful athlete,
who stands g. 2" and tips the
scales at 210 pounds, has attrac-
ted the attention of several
major league scouts during his
collegiate career with his power
full hitting and able field general
ship and he hopes to play in
organized base b all after his
graduation from Notre Dame
next month.
Noted also for his uncanny
ability to handle" pitchers and
for a strong throwing arm, Shee-
han was chosen on the West
squad in the first annual East
West College All-Star game held
in Boston last year and was the
starting catcher for the West
team in that contest.

there is no need to use gut or
nylon heavier than 2x at the
terminal end. Most of the ex-
perts agree that is heavy
enough to set the hook of a
No. 6 streamer, heavy enough,
too, to turn over large fawn-
ing dry flies which give
trouble in headWinds with
lighter gut.
For all-around fly fishing
3x probably is a better diam
eter with Ak reserved for
small flies and difficult fish
ing in very clear or low
water. Most of the experts
seldom use leader shorter
than 712 feet with 9 feet pre-
ferred by some.
For the majority of trout
that are being stocked these
days the rainbow and the
brown, most success has been
achieved with drab, natural
looking patterns, tied to re-
senble duns, brakes and
midges. There is probably no
one best fly. Fortunately,
most bottom or mid-water
feeding trout take insects as
they come along, big or little,
mature or in larvae form.
Scrupulous attention to
water conditions, no two runs
or pools being exactly alike,
with a view to getting ma
tural, slack-line drift through
the likeliest places, pays divi-
dends. A brook trout will
usually chase a fly that is
bucking the current.
If an angler fails to take
fish by floating flies, or drift
ing or wet flies, he may use
a streamer or bucktail. This

lure, probably at the zenith
of its popularity, is regarded
as the easiest to use and is
often very deadly. Fished to
initiate a darting minnow, it
is usually worked to best ad-
vantage across current.
Whatever type of fly that
is used-and if fly fishing has
any virtues above other types
of angling, this is probably its
greatest-the fish brought to
net in the majority of cases
can be released without
harm. This grows increas-

425 Winthrop st. A chairman
for the committee will be ap-
pointed at this time and rules
will be made, with final plans
being discussed.
There will be many prizes for
the golfers this year, and, as in
the past, it will be a handicap
affair. However, in respect to
the ability of the lowest golfers
in the Local IL shops, a special
prize will be awarded for the
lowest actual score. 1t is thought
that competition will be keen
for this award as most of Tole-
dos good golfers are employed
in CIO shops and will be entered
in the tournaments.
The plans call for a com
plete day of entertainment and
refreshments for the tournament
golfers. The dates tentatively
selected for the two Journeys
are June 21 and August %.
Members of the committee are
Chuck Johns son, Champion
