States would support their right to make
their own choice in the matter of foreign
concessions.
This American stand has greatly heart
ened the Qavam government, which has
presented to Parliament broad program
of internal reform and development,
coupled with an assurance to the Deputies
that the Premier had always sought to pre-
vent foreign interference in his country's
affairs.
There, for the moment, the matter rests.
1t remains to be seen what Moscow in
tends to do. In weekend statement from
its embassy at Iran, it has insisted that
its position has been misrepresented, that
it seeks only fair oil contract and that
it has no political designs on the northern
provinces. This differs sharply from its
earlier threatful pressures. Perhaps it may
be deferred from fresh provocation by the
American attitude and the possibility of
another appeal by Iran to the United
Nations.

Food Prices as Criterion
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
History repeats. Remember man by the name
OF Hoover and his words on Belgian relief
in 1919? See any difference today?
Now let's evaluate the results of his Loose
preachings: From 1919 to 1929 Except for a
short time in 1s20-ls2D the cost of essential
foodstuffs caused prices to rise far more
rapidly than wages could be pushed up. Con-
sequently go per cent or more of the people
were unable to pay such prices and had to
live on such food as their money would buy.
The result was lack of balanced meals, and
the grave results showed up 20 years later
when doctors started examining them as can
non fodder for World War H. The numbers
OF 4-Fs were appalling all because the parents
could not pay the price of balanced meals for
their children
AS I see it, let labor, all labor, force wages
up until 1t doesn't care how high prices 20,
it can pay for the essentials OF good health;
and when the "big boys" see there is no profit
in raising prices, they will stop and America
can come to her senses.
At least, let's see that American children
have eggs, milk, meat and other balanced foods
that their dads can't afford to buy.

Perhaps it could be made to steer clear
OF mountains and other obstacles, by
means of radar. When that day comes,
as it no. doubt will, flying should be a
greal deal safer than 1t is today. Unfor-

Push-Button Aviution

The amazing transatlantic fight Of
the robot-controlled air force C-54 trans
port plane provides more than a preview
of what guided missile warfare will be
like. 1t heralds the slow but sure ap-
proach of push-button aviation in peace
time, as well.
AS matter of fact, the successful
twenty four hundred mile test flight of
"The Big Push" from Newfoundland to
England is of more immediate interest as
q safety contribution to commercial avia-
ton than as development in aerial war
fare. For although the electronic brain"
which few the big ship from take-of to
landing is adaptable for regular airline
operations, its use in war is restricted by
the fact that at present the device will
follow only friendly radio beam, Thus,
unless 1t become possible to set up an "un-
derground" radio homing transmitter
close to an enemy target, the sending Of
such plane into enemy territory would
be hit-or-m proposition. During the
war Allied radio-controlled planes, loaded
with explosives, were guided by mother"
FLAMES close to German bases and then cut
loose but the results of the experiments
were not gratifying.
The prospect of using the guided-missile
technique in commercial aviation, how
ever, is alluring to those who have heard
30 much of pilot failure" and human
error" in accident inquiries. The me-
chanical marvel which sent the skymaster
from the runway, held it on the beam
across the Atlantic and then lowered the

Political Murder

There are two main lessons to be
learned from the hanging of Nikola Pet
kov peasant leader, by the Bulgarian
Communists.
Petkov, although probably the repre-
sentative of dominant political sentiment
in Bulgaria, had tried to collaborate with
the Moscow trained Communist leader,
Georgi Dimitrov, after the Russian armies
occupied his country. He tried because he
had to try. And he failed because Com
munists everywhere will work with other
political groups only until such time as
they are able, by force or otherwise, to
liquidate all opposition.
The experience of Bulgaria was typical
first campaign of dishonest propaganda,
then terrorism, then rigged elections and,
finally, the execution of the opposition
leader and the failing of his colleagues
on trumped-up charges. There are those
in this country who believe, or pretend
to believe, that political collaboration with
Communists in popular front governments
is feasible, and that this Government
should advocate the formation of such
coalitions in countries where the Com
munists are factor to be reckoned with.
They should not be permitted to forget
what happened to Petkov.
The second lesson has to do with the
futility OF attempting to restrain the
Communists, once they have seized power.
The United States and Britain, knowing
that Petkov was the victim of a frameup,
did what they could through diplomatic
channels to save him. But the effort, so
far as results are concerned, might as
well not have been made. The Soviet
government, which is, of course, the con-
trolling power in Bulgaria, and therefore
the real culprit, would not lift finger
to save Petkov. Consequently, our repre-
sentations and those of the British were
brushed aside and Petkov was hanged.
We have denounced this political murder
as travesty on justice and the British
have called it crime against civilization.
This is language to be remembered when
agitation Is revived in this country for
establishment of a coalition government
in Greece, or for the granting Of measure
of political power to the Communists in
some other country.

Tobacco Plant Migration
Via Anturcticu Traced
Scientist Offers Hypothesis on How
Species Reached Australia
By Thomas X. Henry


The now ice-covered and lifeless Antarctic
continent once must have been a great miera-
ton road of South American plants to Aus
tralia
This Is the only hypothesis which ade-
quately will explain the distribution of wild
tobacco in both continents, according. IN
report to the National Academy of Science
here by DR.. T. H. Goodspeed of the University
Of California
NATIVE tobacco now Is confined to three
contlnents-South and North America and

IL originated in the first, because of the pres
ent numerical proponderance of South Ameri-
can species and their wide variations Probably
the center OF distribution, he holds, was the

Andean System Traced.
THE discontinuous distribution" he saws "is
explicable on the assumption that suitable
paths for migration connected South America
with each Of the other two continents in
which species are today native. The obvious
suggestion that such pathway to Australia
included Antarctica and Tasmania is supported
by tracing continuation Of the Andean sys-
tenn into the Antarctic continent the indica-
ton that temperate fora lived there at a
relatively recent time, and that migration from
Antarctlca to Australia actually occurred"
1t Is more difficult, he says, to explain how
tobacco got from South to North America. n
the land connections had been the same as at
present the plant would have had to cross the
tropical equatorial zone and it Is extremely
sensitive to hot, damp climates. 1t could have
come over the present route, he says, only II
there was considerable decrease in tempera-
ture in Central America during the glacial
epoch"
From Central California to Mexico and
from Chile to southern Peru" he says "a
previously greater westward extension of land
has been postulated. Had similar extension
once existed between Mexico and Ecuador an
other pathway between central western South
America and southwestern North America
might have become continuous"
Species in Vigorous Age.
Supposedly native tobacco also Is found on
some Of the South Pacific islands where it
probably has spread from Australia by the
agency of primitive man.
Native tobacco as a species, DR.. Goodspeed
says now seems to be enjoying a vigorous
middle age with plenty of vigor for further
evolution since different varieties mate easily
with each other Its presence in three conti-
nents probably assures it against extinction
for long time because climatic change which
would be fatal to it are unlikely to affect all
three at once
1t is often stated that the earth now is in
the closing days of the last ice age and that
sooner or later there will be a hotter, dryer
climate This would be ideal for tobacco Dr.
Goodspeed says, and probably bring about q
great spread of the native species as more
lands became suitable for them. Weaker

Duplication in School Nursing?


To the Editor OF The Star:

inadequate nursing service in the public schools

full-time registered nurses are employed in

are performing the same functions as the Pub
lie Health Nurses in the schools with the ex-

The First Aid Nurse Assistants activities
apparently are omitted when school nursing
services are mentioned in print. Does the
Public Health Nurse include the results of the
First Aid Nurse Assistants activities in her
report, or how is it accounted for? Every effort
should be put forth to prevent duplication of
