SIS, OOO, OO0, 900 to $4,000, 900, 900 to fight
starvation since the war, a ceiling not
higher than $1,000, 000, 900 should be
placed on relief for the current year,
and that no penny of American money
should go to any nation maintaining
large armed forces. They should put
their manpower to work, he insisted,
and whatever is distributed in needy
areas should be in the form of food,
seeds, medicines and fertilizers, with
repayment demanded.
Despite this country's great resour-
ces, they are not inexhaustible. To con-
tjnue to distribute them with the old
lavish disregard of their limitations
would effect the whole world d~isadvan-
.tageously. Altogether, the worlds
greatest authority on relief has given
Congress something to weigh carefully
and, hopefully, to accept.

NLRB's New Ruling

The National Labor Relations Board
has ruled in the Reed Roller Bit Com
pany case that labor unions and en-
ployers may make two-year contracts.
The board declares: "The time has
come when stability of industrial re-
lations can be better served. without
u%nreasonably restricting employees in
their right to change representatives,
by refusing to interfere with bargain
ing relations secured by collective
agreements Of two years Duration"
1t may be said that the time for this
came long ago. But it is a notable ad-
vance from the boards old position
and so is welcome.
Now that there is growing up ir
the country a strong. sentiment for re.
vision of labor laws through which
workers as we'll as employers may be
freed from the oppression of union boss.

service by erecting legs elton neces

The Buggs Island Project

Congress having appropriated four
and one-half million dollars for the
Bugs island reclamation and dam prof
ect, the State Legislature delays coop
eratlve action on complaint of oppos-
ing members.
These members complain that even
though many thousands of acres below
the dam would be saved from floods,
farm lands above the dam would be
subject to overflows, and that the dam
age to the one would offset the benefit
to the other.
This position is not sound on the
ground that in event of excessive precip-
ltation above the dam spillways could
take off the high water, reducing the
reservoir, or lake, Level within the mar
gin of safety and at the same time pre-
vent a costly flood below.
The states agricultural resources and
production would be largely increased
with the Buggs island project complet-

posed vote on Wednesday will commit
the Old North State to it's completion.

Hoover Is Right

Former President Herbert Hoover is
entitled to a public vote of thanks for
his proposal that the United States sus-

Appearing before the Foreign Affairs
Committee. following his inspection tour
abroad at President Truman's behest,
he urged Congress to take Europe's
needy nations off the charity list and
require rayn~nt for all future aid.

His many tutors found him a
difficult pupil. He was very OBJ
s%tinate, and as he did not wish
to speak German, there were many
outbursts of temper. Happily, how
ever, he became attached to Count
Dietrichstein, who was very kind
to him and treated him with great
wisdom. This was all the more
fortunate. as his mother married
again, after his fathers death, and
from that time onward he saw
little of her.
He admired his father so much
that he was delighted when he
learned that his grandfather wished
him to become a soldier. 1t was
a great day for him when he got
his first uniform, though he was
only made a corporal. He was a
clever boy, but lazy, and promotion
was held out as a reward for dill
gence in his studies. No pains were
spared to train him to be not only
a good soldier but a great man.
But his days were numbered, In
the spring of 1882 he fell i'll, and in
July he died. When the news of his
death was heard in France, it
caused but a ripple of interest.

other small Italian states. The
title of King of Rome was taken
from her son.
This was 1914. The next year it
seemed for a time as if the boy
might be emperor of the French
after all. Napoleon escaped from
Elba. and gathering a large army,
marched to Paris and turned out
Louis XVIII. But the emperor's
second reign lasted so short a time
that it is called the Hundred Days.
Waterloo put an end to it for
ever.
After Napoleon had been Danish
ed to St. Helena, the little boy
was given the title of Duke of
Reichstadt by his grandfather, and
it was decided that he should never
rule. By this time Marie Louise
had zone to live in the duchy of
Parma, but she did not take the
duke with her. His grandfather
undertook his education. He was
brought up as an Austrian subject,
instead of a French prince, and so
all his French attendants were
sent away.
He was placed in the care of
an Austrian gentleman named
Count Dietrichstein. He was still
SO young that it was hoped that
he would forget all he had been
told about his father. But he never

them with weak eyes, a tendency

This dramatic story consists in
substance of a succession of gaps,
apparently unabridgeable, between
Ralph and Molly on the one hand

against five teams in Rio. They
won every match. Their smallest
win was 600 points, while one
match was won by $500 points.
Today's hand was one that gave

THE AGED SAINTS CONCERN

l was having an intimate con-
v~ersation with an aged friend OF
many years-she is 87-When sud
denlv she turned the talk to a per-
sonal concern. Il think a great
deal about my brother Walter. AS a
child he was lovely, and in boy
hood he became an earnest Chris
|tian. But in young manhood he fell
into bad company, and grew ad-
dicted to drink. He has been dead
many years. His children and
grandchildren have developed into
fine personalities. But about Wal
ter himself? Where is he? Has he
been punished, or forgiven?'
That spiritually-minded saint,
sorely troubled, represented one
of the griefs of the world, and one
that impinges upon eternity. What
would you say, reader, if bluntly
confronted with such a problem?
For myself, 1 could only say,
eve have to leave the fate of the
dead in the hands OF God, who
is a forgiving Father. His know
ledge is complete and His patience
is beyond u understanding. If we
are concerned over the fate of a
dear one. and of the billions who
have died in darkness, we may be
sure that He is more concerned.
For the love of God is broader
than the measure of mans
mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
is more wonderfully kind"

Preparing For Moscow

Secretary of State Marshall called
in former Secretary Byrnes' chief aides
at previous international peace nego-
tiations the other day and went, over
the policies the United States, through
his craftsmanship, will employ at the
forthcoming Moscow conference which
will deal principally with a treaty for
Germany. Senators Vandenberg and
Connally, Mr.. MarshalPs conferees, both
said later the Secretary had reviewed
comprehensively the problems that will
be before the Moscow session. AS
neither is to accompany the Secretary
to the Conference but both hold vital
posts in the Senate, it was obviously
wise for Mr.. Marshall to 60 over this
nations position, as we'll as it can be
defined, as a means of fortifying the
governments case in Congress in adj
vance.
The Secretary explained that so far
as he is concerned United States policy
has undergone no change from it's def
imitation by Secretary Byrnes in his
Stuttgart speech on September 6 last
and the commitments of the United
States at Potsdam, where the Big Three
agreed that Germany should be treated
as a single economic unit and to pro-
vide for its political and economic re-
Mobilization. Mr.. Byrnes' Stuttgart ad-
dress is generally regarded as the log
ical development of this thesis.
1t may not be possible to carry out
this program in all details, especially
as the United States has not consider
ed the present German-Polish frontier
as permanent, but it is gratifying that
Secretary Marshall proposes to adhere
to this program as closely as may be
done.
1t is also gratifying to note that
President Truman is as firm in his stand
for bipartisan participation in the Mos
COW session as he was when Senator
Vandenberg, a republican, was chosen
as one of democratic Secretary of
State Byrnes' chief advisers. He has
selected John Foster Dulles, republican
foreign policy expert, to stand at Sec
rotary Marshall's right hand in Mos
COW. Mr.. Dulles is a tower of strength.
cool in debate, capable in Judgment,
and a staunch believer in the admins
tration's foreign policy.
1t has been pointed out that Presi-
dent Wilson made a grave mistake when
he failed to take a leading republican
with him to Versailles. Observers at
that time, and down to today, believe
that if he had followed this course and
included Senator Lodge in his official
party the Senate would not have pre-
Vented this country's entry into the
League of Nations.
With Mr.. Dulles on the scene, the
strong probability is that the Senate's
attitude toward a treaty for Germany,
provided the administrations policy is
approved at Moscow on major points,
Will be vastly different from that. This
is more likely inasmuch as Senator Van
denberg, who is even more powerful in
the Senate now than Senator Lodge was
then, supports the administrators pro-
gram.

Bednarik and Swiacki
Named as Repeaters
On A||-Eastern Team
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Charles
Bednarik, Pennsylvania center, and
Bill Swiacki, Columbia end, are the
only repeaters on the 1947 all-East-
ern college football team selected
today by the Associated Press after
consultations with coaches, scouts,
officials and newsmen.
1t was Swiackis amazing pass
catching that brought an end to
Army's victory string in midseason,
and it was Bednarik's stellar de-
fensive play that enabled Penn to
hold the Cadets to 7-to-7 deadlock.
Those two contests brought an
end to Army's dominance in the
East and also opened the annual
Eastern all-star selections to play
ers from other schools, in contrast
to recent years, when Cadets took
virtually all the ahonors.
Eight schools placed men on the
first team this year. with Pennsyl-
vania, Columbia and Army grabbing

honored were Villanova, Penn State,
Franklin and Marshall, Rutgers and

backf1eld along with Frank Burns
