THE COLD WAR

It may be that the Soviet
Union, though committed in
principle, will not in fact agree
to a settlement which means the
evacuation of Europe. If her
purpose is the domination of
Europe and of a large part of
the world, she will never agree.
For the military evacuation of
Continental Europe would not
be one of those tactical ma
neuvers" against which, quite
rightly, Mr.. x tells US to be
on guard.
1t would be a strategic change
in the balance of power. For
once the Red Army had been
withdrawn behind the frontiers
of the Soviet Union, it could not
re-enter Europe without COM
hitting an obvious act of mill
tary aggression, which would
percipitate a general war. The
pressure of the Soviets upon
Europe by propaganda and in
filtration would continue, but
that pressure would no longer
be backed up by overwhelming
military power throughout east
ern Europe and by the threat
Of military intervention in west

Crop Loss Heavy

Truck growers in New Hanover county
are said to be facing a loss of at least $780,
900 as a result of heavy rainfall. At the
present time it appears there are no truck
crops growing or harvestable in the county.
The hurricanes have passed us by, but
the rains accompanying them, which have
spread over areas far from the center OF
disturbance, have caused irremedlable dam.
age. With the season so far advanced the
best the county farmers can do now is to
plant cover crops, to protect their soil, from
which there is no profitable cash return.
The loss thus created can not fail to nave
some effect on prices, not only hereabouts
but in markets to which New Hanover truck
crops are sent. Nor can it fail to have a
hurtful effect on the grower, whose w
living costs will increase with those OF
everybody else.

basis, honestly, unqualifiedly, wholehearted-
ly, and with no suspicion of cheating on the
part of anybody.
"Such a remuneration of war, not in words
but in actual practice, cannot be achieved
unless there stands solidy behind it a very
genuine and universal will to abandon war
on the part of the people as well as by their
political leaders. And here again it is inn
p~erative that all peoples, making up all ma
tons, subscribe to the proposition. The exist
ence of a twill for war or even a willing
ness to entertain or tolerate the thought of
war on the part of a single nation, or people,
however small, would jeopardize the whole
proposition.
While all this is directed to all nations, and
properly so, it would be helpful if the propo-
sition that war should be renowned in
actual practice as well as words could be
brought home to the Soviet Union, which is
the disturbing element not only in the United
Nations but the world at large. And if it
cannot be, then world peace would be in
finitely easier to re-establish through the
agency of the United Nations if the Soviet
Union were outside looking in.

Enduring Peace Possible

Writing in the current issue of the Ro-
tartan magazine, Mr.. Trygve Lie, secretary
general of the United Nations declares that
lasting peace in our time is possible, pro-
vided men can be turned from preparing
for war to preparing for peace. 1.-The first
BASIS for an enduring peace" he writes, is
the acceptance by all people of this idea
of "permanency' not as a dream or distant
goal, but as the immediate bare minimum
of what they desire and demand"
There is a high idealism here that cannot
be over emphasized. The difficulty, now as
always in the past, is in gaining wider &C
ceptance of the principle, which is literally
at the roots of Christian civilization.
Mr.. Lie pointedly and correctly says it is
ILLOGICAL to divert wealth into ornaments
when we cannot satisfy even the barest
needs of our peoples for food, shelter, heat
and clothing" to say nothing of the normal
amenities of human existence"
To those who argue that the United Ma
t;ons cannot prevent war because it is not
vet perfected, Mr.. Lie answers:
Our difficulty arises partly at least from
habit. We of my generation have known two
elobal wars; the world has been at war for
about one-third of our adult lives. Conse-
%ouently, we can be excused if we have come
to accept war as something that does hap
pen. Yet l do not think we can continue to
be excused if we refuse to shake ourselves
out of this pernicious habit of thought and
if we do rot beat into the collective brains
of humanity the. realization that war does
not lave to happen again.
Unfortunately, simply stating this prob
lem does not solve it. The trouble is that
you cannot persuade people that there is
going to be permanent peace SO long as ma
tons continue to prepare for an unecessari-
" inevitable war. Paying lip service to the
ideal of peace, on the one hand, and plling
up ornaments, on the other, simply does not
make sense. But you ann expect the lead
ing nations of the world to cease prepar-
ing for war unless it is done on a collective

himself, seems to border or the inapprecia-
tive, to say the least.
When this writer, writing in Russia, Civ
ing Russian views, demands that our con-
gressnen who talk war be prosecuted and
condemned, he is inviting a national slap
that may prove most unhealthy as time goes
on. When the American people, EVER tolerant
of the view of other nationals, and generous
to a fault in aiding others, finally become
angry they can, history shows, be the oppo-
site from the g~ood-natured sap many are
prone to call US.
A suggestion to Russia, and her so-ca1led
writer's: BY writing such unfounded fiction,
it is they who are more likely to be subject
to the charges they have hurled at our
leaders.

considered the work of some half-wit writer.
Should this nave happened in the United
States, and Stain was the target of the at
tack, we could understand why the author
was permitted such latitude in his publish
ed views. But coming from Russia, where IT
is not hard to believe Stain knows what IS
to be published along the diplomatic front
before the printer receives the copy, this can
only be construed as an official attack on
two of our greatest leaders, men who are de-
.termined at all costs to make the United Ma
tons work and keep world peace.

If the Kremlin really means
to dominate Europe, it will not

on the vulnerable frontier of
Italy, the Kremlin is in a far
better position to advance
farther west than it can be if
it withdraws and stands on its

of the army is, therefore, the
acid test of Soviet conduct and

The Money Situation

individuals in the United States have
about $3.50 billion of cash and government
securities, as contrasted with $40 billion IN
1888, Non-financial corporations have in ex-
cess of $38 billion, as contrasted with $l1
billion in 1899. This unprecedented condition
has been one of the most powerful factors in
our present boom.
There has not been an excessive credit ex-
pansion, as there always has been in adj
vance of every serious economic depression.
Consumer credit, though it has increased
81 billion above the 1859 average of $6.4
billion, is still below the prewar ratio in re-
lation to consumer expenditures. Consumer
credit will increase somewhat when the re-
naming government controls are removed
on November !, but a general belief that
commodity prices will eventually be lower
will considerably restrain purchases on
credit.
This country is not using up it's liquid saw
ings to maintain business at the present
level, as has been claimed. Consumers ex-
penditures as a whole still are less than their
total incomes.
There is little danger of a bank-failure
epidemic, such as occurred in 1888.
These conditions of extreme liquidity will
act as a stimulus to business activity for a
long time, lessening the danger of inventory
dumping, unjustified price reductions and
laying off of workers.

It Won't Work
BY PETER EDISON

WASHINGTON, - Biggest is
sue facing every American fami-
~ today is whether it would be
willing to ration itself on food
going on a diet of one or two
meatless and wheatless days a
week - just to help feed Eu-
rope.
No - it's only the second big
gest issue. Biggest issue, of
course, is how to make enough
money to keep up with today's
high cost Of living. Lower in
come families are already hav-
ing their meatless days. They
can't afford to pay present high
prices. So voluntary rationing
would work no extra hardship
on them.
But, as the pressure OF high
prices is increasingly felt, the
movement for some kind of vol
untary rationing grows.
It's worth noting that this agi-
tation for meatless and wheat
less days is so far an entirely
American SELF interest PROPOSE
ton. The aim is to force down
prices for U. S. consumers.
The idea that American ra-
tioning of some kind may be
necessary does not seem to have
gotten across. Government Off
Gals dealing with the interna-
tional situation talk about
it more and more. But reports
from around the country indi-
cate that the mass of the people
are not aware how badly off Eu-
rope is. If they do know about it,
they aren't concerned, or else
they think the situation hope
less, so why bother.
The great American taxpayer
can, perhaps, be pardoned if he
views this whole business some
what cynically.
It is all very easy for experts
to figure on paper that, with
the U. S. now eating 400 mil
lion pounds of meat a week, one
meatless day would save 81 mil
lion pounds and two would save
ia million - all for relief. The
next step is to estimate how this
would back up and make avail
able for Europe one or two-sev-
enths of the rs million tons OF
grain being fed livestock.
Some of these people
want President Truman to leap
at a microphone and dramatic

ing on the big-hearted American
people to sacrifice again as they
have come through before. Well

thusiasts are. they may be for

Hoover's voluntary meatless-day
plan of 1918 was higher that it
was in either 1917 or 1919. There
may be a gimmick in that, how
ever, for there was a drought in
1918, which forced more meat
animals to market.
But many restaurants had
meatless days during World War
II, and the per capita consump-
ton of meat went up, even with
rationing.
Then, in 1916, there was a
Famine Emergency Committee.
President Truman, Hoover and
others went on the air
in a dramatic appeal to the
Americn people to cut down on
their food consumption and
make more available for
war victims. There were ads in
the newspapers, Everybody got
in on the big drive to save food.
What brought the results, how
ever, was taking the necessary
relief shipments out of U. S. sup
plies before they could be dis
tributed in regular trade. chan
nels to consumers. Commodity
Credit Corporation was made
sole purchasing agent for these
supplies. It raised prices to
make farmers sell the produce
needed for relief.
On top of that, the flour ex-
traction rate .ws raised for all
millers. Their inventories were
limited. Use of grain by distill-
ers and brewers was prohibited.
Use of grain for livestock feed
was limited.
All these things were done by
executive order under the Sec
ond war-powers act: That act
has now expired. It is a question
whether Congress will put back
such controls. Also it is a ques-
ton whether it would be wise for
the government to raise prices
again, just to get the farmers to
mrket food supplies now held
on farms.
The value of the publicity cam
paign in 1916 was to explain the
shortages to the public. Psyche
logically, it helped make people
satisfied with the smaller sup
plies of meat and cereals avail
able. But this appeal to the great
heart of the American people
wasn't the only thing which
brought out the extra food that
prevented the war = torn world
from starving.
Practical food men, who have
been all through this battle Of

rationing and postwar relief, are.
in general agreement that volun-
tary.food rationing wouldn't do
any more now.

Why The Omission?

Both Senator Taft and Speak
er Martin of the House, conser-
vative Republicans, follow SEN
ator Wagner, New Deal Demo
crat, in calling on the. United
States government to take a
prompt and positive stand on the
Palestine problem in favor of
the recommendations of the spe-
clal United Nations committee,
Tor partition Of the Holy Land
into separate Arab and Jewish
states and the immigration of
$50, 900 Jews.
In one of his addresses in the
Far West, Senator Taft declar-
ed his belief that "the majority
report submits a sound COM
promise of the dangerous con-
.troversy' and that prompt &C
ton by the government will tend
to solve one of the most serious
problems that face the world"
And in Washington on the
same day, Speaker Martin de-
clared "the report points the
way to an early solution of one
OF the worlds most troublesome
problems, and I hope this solu-
ton will come speedily" He re-
minded that the 1914 platform of

mean parties contained 'sstrong

posed Jewish state.

Rep. Clark On Initiation

Representative J. Bayard Clark, who told
Wilmington Kiwanians at their Tuesday
session that despite its faults, he supported
|OPA because it offered some means of hold
ing the price line, dwell convincingly on the
perils this nation faces unless initiation is
halted and the inevitable subsequent de-
preston avoided.
If depression should come, the United
States would lose its commanding position
in world leadership. If the United States
should be unable to meet its commitments,
pledged or in prospect, to the nations o
chiefly dependent upon it, chaos would be-
come worldwide. And though he did not
mention Russia, it was obvious that ne fore
sees, as does everybody else, that only a
strong United States stands between world
Only the United States, we may believe,
is capable of turning back the tide of COM
munism, and can do so only if it maintains
its domestic security. The most serious
threat to domestic security is the threat of
wildfire initiation, not only because of its
own power to disrupt the economic structure
of the nation, but because it most certainly
would be followed by a destructive depres-
sion.
Having lived through two depressions, MIR.
Clark is in a position to know what such
things do to the country. And another one,
as he pointed out, would be infinitely worse
than either of the two he knows about be-
cause of the tremendous increase in the ma
tional debt, the interest on which now
EQUALS or exceeds the total legislative op-
preparation obligations only a few decades
ago.
Mr.. Clark said he could not agree with
President Truman that voluntary price re-
would effectively stop the ever as
cending price spiral. He feels that some
thing more must be done-something under
compulsion, to get the nations economy
back on a sound foundation. In this he
spoke the mind of tens of thousands OF
Americans. But it is questionable If the
restoration of OPA could turn the trick, un-
less, forsooth, the resurrected OPA coulo
be purged of bureaucratic m~ishandling.
