The First Thanksgiving Proclamation

And therefore, 1, William Bradford
 (by the grace of God today,
 And the franchise of this good people),
 Governor of Plymouth say
 Trough virtue of vested power-ye
 Shall gather with one accord,
 And hold in the month of November,
 Thanksgiving unto the Lord.' When the Puritans fled to Holland from England in the latter part of the 18th century they found people whose practice of thanksgiving we'll established When the Puritans, deeply religious folk, landed the bleak New England shore in December 1920 they knet and gave thanks to the Lord for bringing them safely to their new home One year later after bounti- full harvest, Governor Bradford recommended as he states in his words: "A Day for Festival-that autumn in 1921 for Thanksgiving to God.' Have you ever thought what it would be like to live in Nome without church? We all agree that the church forefathers built is necessary force in any town

{ in Vienna during the summer. find in Washington a growing belief that. at London. the Rus sians will take a complete tactical about face. that instead of holding out. as they have done hitherto. against unification of the four zones. will insist on if: that they will now be the loudest 10 clamor for an early peace settlement with Germany.
 This will not mean any change of heart on the part of the men in the Kremlin It will not mean that they have suddenly been convert ed to the one-World theory when they, more than any other group, have been most responsible for the division of the world into two hos tile camps. It will mean only that having squeezed the German lemon dry in their own zone, to the point where it has become an economic liability instead of an economic asset, they now want to share in the economic develop ment, particularly the industrial output, of western Germany. They want a finger in that very import ant pie.
 It has taken many months of eff fort and many heartaches and headaches to achieve the economic unification of the British and American zones to which, before very long, the French zone is like ly to be joined.
 High officials of the American military government are now con- vinced that western Germany can be operated as a separate entity, that it can be made to prosper within the orbit of a western Flu rope whose economy is to be re- habilitated with the aid of the Marshall plan.
 The union of the Russian zone and the western zones in Ger many, which would have been a great boon year ago or even nine months ago, might, at this mo- ment, only result in retaiding Ger man recovery, they believe. That is why some American policy makers are insisting that it is not enough for this country to be prepared for Complete break down of the coming London nego- tiations. They insist that it is of equal importance that we be pre- pared for Russian gift horse, which, unless we are very careful, may turn out to be another horse of Troy.

Soviet AbOut-Face
(By Barnet Nover)

(By Barnet NOVer)
 WASHINGTON-In his recent University of Mich- gan address, Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, chairman of the foreign relations committee emphasized the par amount need for early German peace settlement
 In taking this stand, Senator Vandenberg was not speaking for himself alone His on this matter also happens to be the view of all American officials who have anything to do with the formulation of foreign policy.
 If the council of foreign ministers still deadocks this winter the Senator said it had better adjourn sine die The peace conference should be called by those who do agree to write practical reasonable peace for the German It is infinitely preferable for the council of foreign ministers to united terms But II am saying that disagreement or elsewhere cannot be allowed to postpone peace rehabilitation and lself-government forever"
 Judging by the general tenor of his remarks regard ing the state of the world and particularly the state of RussianAmerican relations, Senator Vandenberg is not very sanguine about the outcome of the next meeting of the council of foreign ministers which is meeting in London.
 His pessmism is widely shared Few now believe that Russia and the western powers will come to united terms on the German problem at that meeting A growing number reconced to such development. Some including high officials of the American military government in the former reich so far as to ar que privately that cear-cut failure at London would be preferable, from the viewpoint of American inter- ests to a patched-up compromise Those who take the latter view are not at all con- vnced that the stand which the Russian delegation will take on the German settlement at London will be the same the stand taken by the Soviet government at the Moscow meeting.
 At Moscow, the Russians stubborn unyieding and uncompromising They equally stiffnecked in the later discussions the Austrian settlement held

Let The Taxpayers Keep Half

(Rocky Mountain News)
 IT'S SUPPOSED to be poor politics for Harold Stas- to say he did that the government in peacetme should not take than 50 per cent of any Amer- cans income.
 The way to make votes it's said to talk soaking the rich
 But we're not so sure that Mr. Stassen pulled a pot cal boner.
 There is in the American people of fair play and fitness Of things which responds to the reasonable idea that citizen should be able to keep least half of what he makes by work ingenuity risk of his money In January of this year the Gallup Poll asked people about taxes taking hypothetical of a with wife and two children The questions asked and the answers indicated in the table below Income What People What People Approximate
 Think Tax Think Tax Actual
 Should Be Is Tax $s,ooO $ 50 $ 200 $ 131 10000 900 1000 TYPO 5O,OOO 75OO 5000 24OOO From which we deduce that the public rank-and file isn't nearly intent the politicians in soaking the rich Mr. Stassen, by his plain speaking may have frightened off some politicians in his for the Re- publican Presidential nomination But it seems possible that he attracted just plain folks who vote.
 Mr. Stassen's argument is that excessive tax says the incentive of citizen to work harder and plan and invest for the future
 Dynamic capital" he reminds us, is the source of American jobs and production and living standards It stands to reason that will look more favor ably upon proposition to risk his hundredcent dollars if he keep 50 cents out of each dollar of profit he may make, than if the government is to take 85 cent and he can keep 15-if he wins nothing if he loses Which, logically would mean more rsk-taking a greater volume of business jobs, production better living standards and, in turn, greater for the government
 After all, that's the formula under which America, alone among the nations is feeding clothing and structing the world. Makes sense VI D-.. |

thinking maybe you arranged

We all knew about the rivalry

but their eyes took in Doug's
bleeding ear, Hardin's purpling
eye, and the torn and dirtied
clothes, and it was clear they
guessed what had happened and
were glad the quarrel was over
for good.
After dinner they gathered in
the mess shack around a poker
game that went on internationally
for months. The hostility that had
thickened the air around Hardin
since Doug's arrival was gone and
the men relaxed and permitted
themselves comments that they'd
have held back before. One of the
men picked up Norway's accor-

But his absence during logging

cause for comment and some con-
Germ on Hardin's part. He de-
pended on Norway.

house the boss logger put in a
call to Elsa.
Norway didn't report for work

Ten minutes later the answer

Lilly didn't have date with
Norway, Bill. She said it wasn't
