Mel lahon Sees Need
OF ReappIaisaI for
Atomic Negotiations

Senator McMahon, Democrat, oi
Connecticut last night explained
that failure Of the conference al
Moscow underlines the necessity fol
reappraising the negotiations In
New York for international control
Iof atomic energy.
TheA Senator, ranking minority
member of the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy, spoke at meeting
Of the District Bar Association in
the Mayfiower Hotel. The program
was under direction OF the Junior
Bar Association.
Declaring that international con-
troll OF atomic energy is the key to
world peace, Senator Mcmahon re-
ferred to the conference between
Premier Stain and former Gov
Harold Stassen, made public about
10 days ago.
Delay Tactics Seen.
He said that Stains apparent
willingness to reach international
accord on atomic energy had not
been transmitted to Andrei Gromy-
ko, the Russian representative at
the United Nations,
"At Moscow, the Russians evi-
denced no disposition to reach an
agreement on the reconstruction OF
Germany" Senator Mcmahon de-
cIared. Their refusal to accept the
40-year guarantee against German
aggression has disillusioned most
Americans about the sincerity OF
Russian protestations of a desire
to make peace settlements at this
time. Their objective undoubtedly
is to- wait until Europe is further
disorganized and in more desper-
ate state of starvation.
Russia, also is lndoubtably hop
ing for internal economic troubles
in America. 1t is my belief that she
reasons that If we have a depres-
sion, the American people will turn
their eyes inward, lose some of their
determination to resist aggression in
Europe, and elsewhere. In other
words, Russia seeks delay to get
what she conceives to be a much
better deal"
He said reports have reached the
Joint Committee on Atomic Energy,
that negligible progress has been
made toward international control
of atomic energy.
Events In Europe are undoubt-
ably leading to climax" he COM
mented. Europe cannot go on as it

Production Not Enough

THE EMPHASIS that some ex-
perts are placing upon indus
trial production, in connection with
the effort to keep our economy go
ing at a record pace, is not the
whole story of the crisis that
threatens to engulf the United
States.
The nation witnessed a famine
amid plenty less than 20 years
ago. There was no lack of produc-
ton, either of Industrial or agri-
cultural products in the Thirties,
but production did not, solve the
economic ills of the nation. The
crisis came on US because the proc
esses of distribution became clog
ged. They ceased because the oil of
distribution is money in the hands
of the public with which to buy.
The problem now confronting
the United States is not one of
production alone, but also of main
tanning the buying power of con-
sumers. This can be done in two
ways: (a) by raising the dollar
income of the buyers; and, o. by
reducing the price of goods. Either
way, the purchasing power of the
nation is increased.

M. E. Holly, president Of the
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Housing Co
operative association, reads the
name Of the lucky veteran who
will occupy the first house con-
structed by the organization,
ever, the house cannot be any big
ger than 1900 square feet (around
average size), and construction must
meet FILA standards and building
code requirements. Members can
have the coop build for them, or
they may merely purchase the ma
terials through the organization.
All labor is paid for, but members
can reduce the cost Of their houses
by working on their own or other
houses under construction. II a
plumber who is working full time on
other jobs spends Saturdays doing
plumbing work on one of the cooper
alive houses. he will be given credit
at the standard plumbers pay for
the hours he works. Quite a few
members have done this but most
Of them are men with Office jobs,
anxious to pitch In and get the
houses built. When they work on
the project. they are assigned as
laborers and receive credit at Ia
borers' pay. There are a few I'M
accustomed blisters and callouses,
but they enjoy the novelty. and
houses are going up fast.
AS you know, people in the South
west are more than mildly enthu-
siastic in describing their scenery
and their weather. But when you
try to get an Albuquerque Coop as
ISOLATION member to tell you about
himself and his work in the group,
he SHES of like skittery colt. He
wants to hand the credit to the other
fellow. Perhaps that's one reason
the coop building association OF
Albuquerque is real cooperative
and real success.

Advice From Mr.. Taft

CHARLES P. TAFT, president of
the Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America, is concerned
about the admitted economic poll
cies that are securing wide curren-
cy among people of good will.
Mr.. Taft says that most business
men, when faced with this situa-
tion, "join in a witch hunt against
the Communist DOGGY, instead of
learning to understand our system
and learning to promote and de-
fend it,
Business men should be interest
ed in what Mr.. Taft says and
adopt his suggestion of under
standing, promoting and defending
our economic way of life. Denounc-
ing Communism, Reds and radicals
is not the way to accomplish any
of the purposes outlined.

Sugar Supply Increases

THE END of the six-year sugar
shortage is in sight, according
to the experts.
The next month should disclose
whether prospects for. bumper
sugar production are sound. By the

ton.
Increased production is expected
in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands and Hawaii. Sugar-cane
crops in this country are expected
to be normal and the sugar beet
crop looks fair to be one of the
largest in history.

Big Wheat Crop

e. ri q
A HUGE CROP of wheat, expect
ed to exceed ,1,3 billion bushels,
means that the United States will
have plenty Of wheat for export
and that growers will make some
money. ~,
However, there are difficulties in
the way. Freight cars and grain
bins will be taxed in the harvest
time congestion. Storage facilities
are not adequate and it is quite
likely that wheat will be piled on
:, the ground, in school houses, old
2 churches and anything else that
will hold grain.
With many nations in the world
anxiously awaiting food for their
semi-starving populations, the big
crop in this country should be q
life-saver. Something like 400, O00,-
900 bushels will be available for
export, which compares with
around 75,0O0,0O0 bushels in thu
late TCiirties.
The billion bushel plus wheat
crop is about to be taken for grant
ed. Whether It results from the
Governments guarantee on wheat
or represents a permanent produc-
tion level is uncertain. 1t Is a GER
tainty, however, IL the crop con-
tinues to be of this size, some ex-
port markets win have to be found.

A concrete block manufacturer
furnished the blocks for one dwell

the landscaping without charge; an
awning company contributed the
awnings.
Other business firms wished
the association well; promised
to sell II materials at reduced
prices. But the contributions

houses being built by individual
members doing their own work, but
getting the materials through the
coop at reduced prices. and using
cooperative sub contractors for
plumbing and wiring jobs.
Membership has swelled to rs,
and because the association feels
that a new house In Albuquerque
means a vacant house for rent or

isn't limited TO just veterans.
