TIED UP IN DEBATE

Nearly everybody who has given SER
ious thought to the possibility of establish
ing permanent peace in the world under
stands the necessity of having an effective
international police force.
General Joseph T. McNarney, Ameri-
can representative to the United Nations,
declares that " there just isn't going to be
an international security force" until GER
tain basic differences between Russia and
the Western nations can be solved.
The General says that the United
States insists that each country Should
furnish armed forces according to it's abil-
ity but that the Russians insist that each
power should make available equal forces.
This, he declares would be fraud on
the smaller nations and prevent the ma
tions that are able and willing to supply
the units needed from making the interna-
tional security force highly mobile and able
to function.
* In addition. the Russians and the
Western powers are in disagreement as
to the right of the international force to
use bases and to fly across the territory of
United Nations members and also upon
the location of the forces when they are
not in use.

EVERYBODY AGAINST HIGH PRICES

There exists concerted movement.
independent of politics, trade unions and
big and small business groups, against high
prices. Three Congressional investigations
nave been announced by Senator Taft, and
attorney General Clark has ordered an
investigation of food, clothing and hous-
ing costs. He says that if he can convict
any profiteers that he will demand that
they be sent to jail and heavily fined under
the antitrust law.
BUSINESS spokesmen are blaming ris-
ing prices on high wages, shortage of ma
terlae and big demands.
But the CIO apparently has no shame
III oiiermg the nonsensical recommends
tion that Congress should reconvene and
put price control in force again.

British Cash Another Check
For 200 Million Of Loan
BY the Associated Press

Britain has cashed a check on the
United States Treasury for another
$200, ,000, 900 of the So, ,750 900 900 lent
her last July, Treasury records dis
closed today.
This brought Withdrawals In 10
months to 81, ,750 900 ,0o0-nearly half
of the total sum which British and
American officials originally figured
would last Britain at least three
years.
Recently, however. the original
estimates were revised and it was
calculated that Britain would with
draw 81 900 ,000, 900 in the first year
of the loan.
The loan was made as a Treasury
credit on which Britain could draw
at will. 1t is like mans borrowing
81 900 from a bank and having the
sum credited to. his checking ac-
count. The money stays with the
bank but he can draw it out as
