Our Suvinqs

Before VI day, when it was hard
to find anything to spend money on
and when War Bonds were being
bought by most of us. statistical
studies showed the American people
with accumulated savings OF scores
of billions of dollars. To many
economists this seemed to be an
economic fact of long-term signifi-
canoe, suggesting that most OF us
would have plenty of cash or liquid
assets in the bank for good number
of years to come. '
Actually, however. a large part OF
our wartime savings appears to have
gone with the wind since VI day.
In his economic report to Congress,
President Truman has attributed
this to several factors, chief of them
being the return of civilian goods at
much higher prices. People have
been buying lot of things that were
unavailable couple of years ago,
and to buy them good many ap-
parently have had to supplement
their current incomes by taking
money out of the bank.
The Presidents statistics on this
point are illuminating. In 1914,
largely because of shortages, price
ceilings and bond purchases, Amer
lean consumers saved about % per
cent of their total disposable income.
Since then the rate has fallen down
to little less than 10 per cent, which
is not much greater than the 1885
1889 level. Moreover. as indicated by
recent surveys. "a per cent of the
Nations families "held no War
Bonds or bank accounts in 1945, and
20 per cent held less than $500 of
savings in these FORMS"
These are sobering figures. #
accurate or not oversimplified, they
mean that more than so per cent
of us have precious little to fall back
on. Millions of us apparently are
spending what we earn, and dipping
into our savings as well. Apart from
its implications in terms of promot-
ing long-term national prosperity,
this would seem to suggest that a
little more frugality-in this period
of virtually full employment-would
do none of us any harm.

Red Cross Record

Every man, woman or child who
assisted the American National Red
Cross between July, 1889, and July,
1946, has reason to be proud of the
record of those years now disclosed
by Basil O'Connor, national chair
man. It is report of an achieve
ment probably unequaled in the
history of philanthropic endeavor.
The program represented in it ex-
tended. to the ends of the earth,
embraced all nations and all classes
of people, served on every fighting
front and carried on in the battle
areas in aid of civilians after hostil-
tiles ceased. It still continues to
alleviate hardships caused by every
sort of disaster-and is expanding
into additional fields of safety,
health and general welfare effort.
The number of individuals who
supported the Red Cross with gifts
of money was 56,550,733. Literally
millions volunteered their labor
through a total of 3,755 chapters.
Members of the organized special
corps of canteen, hospital and rec
reation helpers were 3,838,000 in
1923. The list of paid employees
included 2,098 persons in 1941 and
24,378 persons in 1945. Contributions
for the period indicated reached
$784,151 300. Expenditures during
the seven years we're $3.50, ,749, ,169, of
which $685., ,816,S1S went exclusively
for services to the armed forces and
veterans. The roster of volunteer
blood donors, MIR. O'Connor said,
shows 6,663 ,121 names. Altogether,
13,326,242 pints Of blood were given
between February, 1s41, and Sep
tember, 1945.
Such figures are too vast to be
comprehended easily. To illustrate
their astronomical" character, it
is suggested that the average indi-
vidual life in the United States in
the twentieth century runs about
GA years and the labor given the Red
Cross from 1889 to 1946 without con-
sideration of wages of any kind

roughly 3S2,07S ordinary lifetimes!
What matters most, however, is the
fact that the whole tremendous
globe -encircling enterprise was and
Is free of. even the slightest shadow
of compulsion. It is a cooperative
fellowship into which nobody is
pushed or driven. The quality OF its
ministrations is even more note
worthy than their variety and ex-
tent. Henri Dunant at Geneva in
1862 and Clara Barton right here in
Washington in 1881 "builded better
than they knew" Those who have
followed them have been worthy OF
their example. No wonder the
solemn and cautious Encyclopedia
of the Social Sciences declares of
the modern Red Cross: ITO its
founders its present scope would
have seemed an impossible ideal"

Cunodiun Citizenship

On New Year Day an event oc-
Cured north of our national border
the significance of which has not
attracted in this country the atten-
ton it intrinsically deserves. For,
with the incoming of 1947, there
came into effect the Canadian citi-
zenship act, under which every
natural-born Canadian and all who
henceforth take out naturalization
papers become Canadian citizens.
To the average American this
news item may sound either super
fuous or puzzling; because most OF
us know, in a general sort OF way,
that Canada is, to all intents and
purposes, a sovereign nation, with
its own diplomatic representatives
and full power to manage its own
affairs. OF course, we also know
that Canada forms part OF that
almost metaphysical entity, the Brit
ish Commonwealth of Nations, but
the precise relationships between its
component parts is a matter that
does not usually concern us.
It will therefore come as sur
prise to most Americans that, until
now, there was no distinct Canadian
citizenship, all inhabitants of the
Dominion being legally British sub
jects." To be sure, under the act,
they still remain British subjects,
since they continue to be subjects of
King George in his capacity as King
of Canada. But. unlike these. bear
ing allegiance to the King in other
parts of the commonwealth, Cana
dams will now be able to emphasize
their specific Canadian citizenship
within their wider commonwealth
loyalty.
In American eyes. all this may
seem of more sentimental than prac-
tical significance. Yet it has its
practical side. The chief effect is
expected to be the strengthening OF
q common Canadian" consciousness
which will tend to lessen the historic
distinction between the English

The Four-Purt Atom
m the st. Louis post-Dispatch.

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Frederic Joliot-C -Curie, son-in-law Of
the great Nine Curie, and Nobel Prize
winner in his own right, has announced
that he has discovered how to break
the atom into three and four fashionable
parts, against only two parts into which
it has been broken by scientists in the
United States. M. Carie announces fur
ther that he will make no secret Of his
discovery, but will tell the world about it.
Here Is an important scientific
achievement, but 1t win have no early
effect on atomic weapons. Those who
would make atom bombs must have
uranium, and they must know how to
induce the suto-catalytic processes-to
borrow big phrase-that set of the ex-
plosive energy Of the atom In bomb.
In every important Western nation
and in Russia there are scientists who
can give an accurate general description
of nuclear fission and its application in
military explosives. But they don't
know the details of the process and, on
the st-informed estimates, won't find
out tn less than five years.
The United States still has time to
press Its advantage to obtain interna-
tional control of modern scientific weap-

ments, which has produced so much
friction in the past. In similar vein,
1t is expected to hasten the ANAL
gamation of immigrants from other
lands than the British Isles, on the
pattern of what has occurred in the
United States.
1t should be emphasized, however,
that, to virtually all Canadians, this
emphasis upon their nationhood
connotes no desire to break the
bonds which unite them with Brit
ain or the other members Of the
commonwealth. There is every in
dication that the two loyalties will
continue harmoniously to co-exist.

he permitted his name to be presented
to the Democratic National Convention
in opposition to- Mr.. Roosevelt, and the
nominating speech was made by the
late Senator Carter Glass of Virginia.
Those Democrats remaining in Con-
gress who were strong supporters of the
late President may be expected to vote
against the resolution for a two-term
limitation. Already some of them are
saying the proposed amendment is
slap at the late President, hoping to
rally enough opposition to head it of in
Congress, and if 1t passes Congress, in
the States which must ratify all consti-
tutional amendments by three-fourths

The Congress will have to determine,
IN dealing with this question, whether
a part of a term in the White House
constitutes a term" The Michener
resolution specifies that any part of a
term is, in effect, term" in the mean
ing of the amendment. The Baldwin
resolution limits a man to two consecu-
tive elective terms. President Theodore
Roosevelt, who succeeded to the presi-
dency upon the death of President Nc
Kinley, considered that he had served
two terms. President Calvin Coolidge,
who became President on the death of
President Harding and who was elected
to the presidency after the Harding
term had expired, did not choose to run
for what would have been third term
under the language of the Michener
resolution, although he was strongly
urged to do so.
Senator Kilgore of West Virginia,
Democrat, has proposed an amendment
to the Constitution to eliminate the Vice
President from the Office of President OF
the Senate, and transferring the Vice
Presidents field of operations to the
White House, where he would be an
assistant to the President, able to serve
as acting President" in the event of
absence Of the President, and to care for
such executive tasks as the President
might set him. If this plan were carried
out, the Senate would elect its own
presiding officer-just as the House
elects its Speaker.

nothing without the one thing which
makes all revolutions-arms.
The supply Of arms to any insurgent
movement in YugoSlavia Is impossible
except from one of her neighbors. No
arms for an anti Communist movement
will come from Hungary or Bulgaria.
On the Greek border, Yugoslavia herself
Is carrying on an offensive, so that pos
sibility is ruled out. Britain, already
involved in Greece and Palestine, is not
in position to stir up fresh troubles
for herself. It has not been the policy
of the United States to run arms for the
overthrow of governments with which
we maintain diplomatic relations.
The masses OF Yugoslavs, virtually
and unable to emigrate, would welcome
an anti-Tito leader who could provide
arms for revolt against Moscow's
puppets. The only border across which
these arms could be provided Is the
Italian border which includes for this
purpose the Dalmatian coast.
Once the Italian people and the Vati-
cam have won their, fight against the
Communists and removed them from
any semblance of power in Rome, 1t will
be possible to incite their brother Cath
Ollie Croats and Slovenes-as well as the
Orthodox Serbs-against the tyrannicd
rule of Marshal Tito and his handful
Of henchmen.
\ X y
II there is little active resistance to
Marshal Tito in Yugoslavia, it is not
because the Yugoslavs do not resent
his rule. A complex of hostilities within
Yugoslavia was further aggravated dur
ing the war not only by German con-
quest but by misleading Allied policy
which left the Yugoslavs thoroughly
confused as to what the intentions of
the Western democracies might be.
On a continent where the United
States is committed to a continuing
battle against the spread of commu-
nism, Yugoslavia represents the most
fertile ground for an early victory. How
ever, this aim can be most readily OBJ
tanned by supporting the forces of anti
communism in Italy and, in the face
of that country's dire economic needs,
any economic assistance given the De
Gasperi government will not be lost.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The Republican majority in Congress
is intent on letting the American people
say, through their representatives in
State Legislatures or in specially called
conventions, whether there are to be any
more third-term or fourth-term Presi-
dents of the United States. Ever since
it became apparent that the late Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt was pre-
pairing to break the tradition, established
by George Washington, which limited
a President to two terms in the White
House, Republicans have been knocking
at this door. With the Democrats in
complete control of both houses Of Con-
gress and their committees, it was i'm
possible to get a resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution con-
sidered.
Now the Republican leadership in
Congress Is prepared to get as quick ac-
tion as possible on such a constitutional
amendment. Speaker Martin has sug-
gested that it would be feasible to have
the necessary resolution ready for House
action by February l. Already resolu-
tions have been introduced in both
House and Senate-in the House, Repre-
sentative Michener of Michigan, slated
to be chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, has offered one, and in the
Senate, Senator Baldwin of Connecticut
is sponsoring another.
X .
A resolution proposing Constitu-
tional amendment can only be adopted
by a two-thirds vote in each house OF
Congress. This means the Republicans
must have the aid of some of the Demo-
Gratis to pass the resolution. In the
Senate there are 81 Republicans. Should
they all support the two-term resolution
they will still need 13 Democratic votes
to make the required two thirds. With
the total House membership Of 435-a
two-thirds vote is 286, or 40 more than
the 246 Republicans elected last Novem-
ber.
The supporters of the constitutional
amendment are confident that the pro-
posal will receive the votes of enough
Democrats in each house to make
possible its adoption. 1t is we'll under
stood that many Democrats were op-
posed to third term for Mr.. Roosevelt
in 1910, on principle Notable among
them was James A. Farley, Postmaster
General and chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. So strongly
did Mr.. Farley feel on this subject that

Winston Churchill once spoke Of the
soft underbelly of the Axis. The sue
cessor to the hxis-Russian communism
also has soft underbelly.
Yugoslavia, at this point, has been
pretty generally written of to COM
munism under the iron rule Of Marshal
Tito. Yugoslavia votes with the Slavic
bloc in the United Nations. We main
tain an ambassador to Marshal Tito's
government and Marshal Tito main
tairs an ambassador in Washington.
No attempt is being made by the
United States to foster the growth of
revolutionary movement against Mar
shall Tito. His representatives are &C
cepted in all international councils
without question despite the fact that
Tito enjoys the support Of no more
than 10 per cent of the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes.
There is, however, the nucleus, as
Washington official quarters see it, of a
hope that the tyrannized 80 per cent
Of the Yugoslavs may one day rid them
selves OF the scourge which Russian VIC
tory in Eastern Europe brought upon
them.
which the Italians and the Vatican are
waging against communism in Italy.
The detection of large bloc of anti
Communists from the Italian Socialist
Party is only the latest evidence of the
positive italian swing away from CO.
operation with the Communists. Re-
cent addresses by Pope Plus XII have
found their mark among the devout
Italians.
AS matters stand today there would
be little or no hope of overthrowing
Marshal Tito by an indigenous move
ment in the immediate future. In spite
Of the fact that only 100000 of Tito's
100000 men are firm Communist men,

today any organized and centrally led

Gagging the Services
By George Fielding Eliot

The budget figures for the Army and
Navy, as submitted by President Tru-
man. do not represent the considered
Judgment of our military and naval
leaders as to the needs of our national
security The budget figures are far be-
low what those leaders consider neces-
sary.
But they can't talk about it. They
can't even tell Congress about it when
the time comes for budget hearings.
They have been specifically and def
nitely gagged by presidential order, re-
inforced by continual repetitions at
every turn of the road,
7 have had a good deal Of experience
in reporting the progress OF military
and naval budgets, but have never
encountered a gag situation as strict as
this one.
It Is, of course, the usual practice to
bar any direct and open criticism Of the
budget figures. The service Secretaries,
the Chiefs of Staff and the department
and bureau heads are supposed to ap-
pear before the Appropriations Commit
tees to defend the budget, not to criticize
it. But it has always been the practice
that members of the committees could
ask for and receive professional opinions
as to the adequacy of the budget figures
on any particular point. Not this time.
An officer so questioned by member
Of Congress can only say, unhapplly,
that he is not permitted to state his
opinion-by order.

1t looks as though it is going to be
difficult matter for the Congress and
the people to get the facts necessary to
enable them to make up their minds
whether, in this troubled and by no
means secured world, they are taking
adequate steps for their security during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1948.
What they are getting now, let me re-
peat, is not the sober judgment OF the
Chiefs of Staff and the military and
naval planners as to what the national
security requires. What they are get
ting is the Judgment of the Bureau Of
the Budget as to what part Of the ma
tionaI expenditures should 60 to the
Army and Navy. II this were confined to
a simple statement by the Budget Blu
reau to the service departments OF
limitation, in amount or IN percentage,
of the total sum available, the situation
would not be quite so dangerous as 1t Is.
If, in effect, the bureau said: Look,
boys, all you can have Is so much. NOW
you cut your coat to flt that pattern,
there would be less ground for anxiety.
Unfortunately, the Budget Bureau does
not work that way. It goes into details
which 1t Is not competently stained to
decide. 1t tells the services that certain
specific items must be cut out or re-
