hardly worth an argument. Deci-

Secretary of the Interior, he asked
for an ALLEGATION of petroleum prod
ucts to meet military needs"
This meeting was too casual about
oil for civilian use. Significantly, it
was said that, after the military
needs had been met, it would be
necessary to "apportion remaining
petroleum products to commercial
consumers" This was an admission
that there would not be enough oil
to go around, but it was not a bold
facing of the problem Of what an
insufficient supply for civilian pur-
poses would mean.
ITO apportion" means ito ration, u
and ito ration" means ito limit. "
In the Middle West the price of
gasoline has already been raised,
which is one way Of "apportioning.
And recently the Sun Oil Co. in
creased its price for fuel oil, with a
frank statement that this was done
to serve notice that fuel oil would
be in short supply next winter.
Nfmitz Calls Oil "Lifeblood."
Admiral Nimitz declared that oil
supplies are the Nays 'lifeblood:
without them we are immobilized. +"
1t. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg said that
urgent instructions have been is
sued to all commands to con-
serve fuel. A. minimum
reserve of petroleum products should
be established and maintained be-
yond the quantity needed for train
ing and operations, and lacking a
reserve of such fuel, the Air Forces
will become. instead of a force in
being and ready to 60. a force on
paper only"
The newspapers do not indicate
whether the collected Secretary
Forrestal was rebuking Admiral
Nimitz and Gen. Vandenberg, or
merely giving assurance that there
was nothing to worry about. OF
course, he was right in declaring
that there should not be "hys-
terical appeal. He might have
added, every day, in every way
the world grows better and better
This being true, of course, no one
need worry ABOUT gasoline for the
armed forces. Then it would be
only a matter of short time when
we could disband the Army and
Navy and spend our time in philo-
sophie contemplation of our navel

sign.
According to reports from Brazil
it appears that the differences
which have developed between the
United States and the Latin Amer
lean republics have arisen from the
fact that Secretary Of State Mar
shall and the rest of the American
delegation are world minded,
while the Argentinians and repre-
sentatives of some other South
American states are strictly "hemi-
sphere-minded."
The group headed by Argentina
wants to use the present conference
as a clear demonstration of the
New Worlds determination to re-
sist Communist aggression and in
filtration. just as it went on record
IN 1910 in Havana in opposition to
Nazism.
Resolution Is Urged.
This intention was demonstrated
by the Dominican Republics repre-
sentative, who suggested that the
seventh resolution of the Havana
conference be adopted at the pres
ent parley. That resolution called
for measures ito eradicate from the
Americas the spread of doctrines
that tend to place in jeopardy the
common inter American democratic
IDEAL"
The resolution also recommended
that the American continent guard
itself against political activity by
foreign agents, associations, groups
or political parties, no matter what
form they use to disguise or cloak
such activities"
Since the Nazi and Fascist gov
ernments of Germany and Italy
have been destroyed, and agents Of
their philosophy exist only in iso-
lated groups and individuals, it is
obvious to the American delegation
that adoption of such a resolution
would be interpreted in Moscow as
a demonstration against the
U. s. s. r.
The American delegation went to
the conference in Brazil with the
expectation of getting all the ma
lions in the hemisphere to band

British RetiCenCe
English and Americans Leave Much
Unsaid in NEGOTIATIONS for Loan

Truman administration would work
it out.
The harsh realities postponed in
the present talks will come to the
fore next month in London where
Treasury Secretary Snyder will dis
cuss future British needs and pros
poets with the Labor government s
top officials. The British departed
with diminished apprehensions re-
garding Mr.. Snyder who had rather
scared them by his previous refusal
to get excited about their deepening
distress.
Hews to Marshall Policy.
Mr.. Snyder hewed to the Marshall
line last week In contrast to earlier
alterations from the policies set
forth by the Secretary Of State. If
he stays in line with State Depart
ment policy the British will be en-
tirely satisfied.
President Truman is taking great
pains to avoid a congressional chal-
lenge of his actions. The letter of
the loan was carefully studied so
that he knew what he could not do
and why as we'll as what The could
do. The administration is well sat-
isfied that they are within the law,
SO far. It is because they were not
certain they could relax the anti
discrimination clauses Of the loan
that the point was deferred for
further study.
A special session to deal with the
growing mass Of international prob
lens Is still q possibility. The Of
fetal explanation of the Presidents
position: He can and will call spe-
cial session when Europe's recon-
struction plans are sufficiently con-
crete for Congress to 80 to work on
them.

Forrestal's Lack of Hysteria in Oil Issue
Seen No Substitute for Justified Concern

Certainly Mr.. Forrestal displayed
no hysteria prior to Pearl Harbor
although, there was plenty Of 1t
afterward. There was no hysteria
about the large number Of Japanese
living along the Pacific Coast be-
fore Pearl Harbor, but a lot OF 1t
thereafter. There was no hysteria
in the Navy, and even less in the
Army, when it was insisted by
civilian department that, If we
were going to win the war, we
would have to build the Big Inch
pipeline and then the Little Big
Inch. There was no hysteria in
the Navy when, in operating the
Elk Hills Naval Oil Reserve, 1t
calmly permitted the Standard Oh
Co. of California to sink wells, Just
outside of the limits of that reserve
through which naval oil was
drained, without 1t ever once &C.
curing to the Navy that common
sense alone dictated the digging OF
off set wells.
Hysteria Versus Interest.
During these critical periods
Secretary Forrestal continued plac-
idly to smoke his pipe, something
which no one with the slightest
disposition toward hysteria, or even
possessed Of anxious interest, could
possibly do.
Fortunately, there are men in the
armed services, such as Admiral
Nimitz and Gen. Vandenberg, who
do not mistake for hysteria a
necessary, If somewhat belated, in
terest in our oil supplies. It is per-
fectly true, as Admiral Ninitz SO
aptly put it, that oil is the "life-
blood" of the Navy. It was fortunate
that during the war the duty OF
supplying oil to the armed forces
was an expertly performed civilian,
rather than a military, duty. At no
time during the war did Secretary
Forrestal for the Navy, or any one
for the Army, have the imagination
to envisage the amount Of oil that
would be needed.
Col. J. F.. Drake, a prominent oil
executive, at the meeting referred
to, urged the creation Of central
procurement agency which would
forecast petroleum needs (for the
armed forces) in advance" Certainly
this was not "hysteria." But If the
armed forces are to be given what
they need, plus a reasonable margin
of safety, as they should be, care
should be exercised that they are
not supplied with more than they
need. Even during the war, the
Army and the Navy were VIGOROUSLY
wasteful of petroleum products.
A bare start has at last been made
in the right direction. but it is
urgently important that the Govern
ment, forestalling possible hysteria.
should look between the eyes the
fact that we are producing less
petroleum than the country needs
There is the even more important
problem of how we could supply
petroleum If we had to fight an
other war. Certainly, some concern
short of "hystefia" is called for now,
lif we are to avoid, perhaps In q
not too distant future, the degree
of hysteria INDUCED in by the
armed forces at times Of crisis in the
past.

He pushed q button and one Of
his military aides, handsome 1t
Lafaiete Moreira Freire, appeared
at the door. The Governor explained
that he was going into the interior
that day to study the needs Of my
people" and that the lieutenant was
to show us the city and anything
else we wanted to see. He made
1t clear that he wanted us to see
the Sac Paulo Hospital.
Views Free Hospital.
The lieutenant took lis everywhere.
First we looked at the hospital, q
vast establishment which has no
equal in the United States. It is for
the poor, and treatment is free.
Then the car, with the Governors
tags giving us the right Of way,
took us to Santos, over the newly
completed road between Sac Paulo
and Santos, Via Anchieta.
Sac Paulo is As miles inland, on =
plateau. Santos is on the Sea, and
there Is almost q sheer drop Of
5000 feet between the two towns.
Via Anchieta must be one Of the
worlds most breath-taking roads,
comparable to the one from Nice to
Monte Carlo. Hairpin turns, breath
less views of mountains, the valley,
the sea.
Then lunch at q hotel built in
the old days when roulette wheels,
chemin de- fer, dice and bird cage
picked up the bill. Gambling Is
finished now-illegal. But what
food! Being a man who never
spared the whip when dining at
a lunch wagon or an all-night diner,
I tried a bit Of fish smothered with
shrimp, both fish and shrimp hav-
ing been caught few hours earlier.
I found it much better than ham
on rye and cuppa java.
Thank you for your kindness,
Governor de Barros. Thank you,
lieutenant. If you ever come up my
way I'll give you q mess of turnip
green's and ham hook.

together for the common purpos,
of defending peace not only in th'
hemisphere but in the rest Of TIT
world as well.
The Washington administration
hoped that without giving the i'm
preston that an American bloc
was being formed at Rio, thu
American nations would stand to-
gether on all major issues involv'
ing protection Of our peace doc
trines.
American Delegation Hesitant.
This was regarded as particularly
important in the event that TIT
United Nations General Assembly
which meets September is in New
York, Is called on to recommend
application of Article 81 of the U. N
charter, which may involve mill
tary measures.
But while all these things were
hoped for, the American delegation
which is composed of the highest
ranking State Department officials
and members of Congress, was re-
luctant to throw down the gauntlet
to- the Soviet Union and approve
recommendations which Moscow
might describe as hostile.
Secretary of State Marshall and
his colleagues are fully aware that
Russia already has system Of po-
litical, military and economic alli-
ances with the countries behind the
iron curtain, all of which are aimed
at other countries.
The American delegation knows,
as does every other delegation, that
Russia has fifth column organiza-
lions in the Western Hemisphere
which make those maintained by
Hitler and Mussolini fade in COM
parison.
They know that while the Nazis
attempted merely to infiltrate bust
ness circles and the so-called upper
class, the Communists have infil-
trated the labor unions and working
classes.
All the Rio conferees know that
millions of dollars in Russian gold
are being spent by local organizers
most of them native-born-to ad-
vance Moscow's disruptive plans in
the Western Hemisphere.
American statesmen believe, how
ever, that any formal action by the
American nations against Commun-
list infiltration might have disas-
trous consequences. And they still
hope that some diplomatic formula,
rather than force, may prevail in
our dealings with the conquest
hungry Soviet government.
The Argentine proposal does per-
NIT the Interpretation that it is an
armed alliance against non-Amer-
lean nations. But Juan Bramuglia,
the Argentine foreign minister, is
reported to have pointed out that
