Double Harvest

And it's hard bitter work in the hot sun
And easy to forget In needed sleep,
Small aoonder that a man might call 1t

But there's an older harvest for the taking.

The Old DAYS Are Gone

Years ago young and old could amuse them
selves in shooting galleries and receive Is shots
for quarter.
In those days, the bulls eye when hit
would resound loud and clear.
Nowadays the best one can do is to get from
to 10 shots for quarter and the "bull's eyes,
are SO "mufaed" that you can't hear them
even if you should hit them.
Presumably, these present-day shooting gal
1ery operators can't stand the noise, because no
doubt they want their customers" to get q
little something for their money.
Why don't operators "wise up?"

ate-the assistance will not be on blank
check basis.
Although he is willing to advance money
to be spent for American goods, Senator
Taft will have no part of the pretense
that these advances will be loans in any
real sense. He says, and it is time it was
being said, that the loans in all human
probability will not be repaid. In the end
we will be better off If we start out with
this clearly fixed in our minds.
Believing in this, however, Senator Taft
makes it plain that he is not going to
agree to what he calls "an international
WPA." II do not believe" he says, "that
America can save the world with money
We can only help the world to save itself
if it wishes to be saved and makes its own
utmost effort"
Here again he gets close to what is in
the minds of many people. Will the
nations of Western Europe, given American
aid, put forth the requisite effort and make
the necessary sacrifices in their own be-
half?
It is the exception rather than the
rule for man in public life, aspiring to
higher public Office, to come out in the
open and say the things Senator Taft has
said. He evidently believes, and The Star
concurs in the belief. that the effort to
save Western Europe must be made, even
though it's success cannot be assured. But
the Ohio Senator is going into this business
with his eyes open, and he does not at
tempt to hide his doubts behind double
talk or discreet silence. That is unusual
in American politics. It is also refreshing.

Speculation Over Break.

Before Senator Taft delivered his foreign
affairs address, there were those who speculated
whether he would not break with internation-
alist Senator vandenberg on the question Of
foreign policy-and, indeed, with other potential
Republican candidates for the presidential NOM
ination. The thought was he might have to
stand out as offering a radically different
alternative in foreign policy. But Mr.. Taft
is not given to political expediency or to COM
promising principles for possible convention
votes
1t is clear that on the question Of foreign
policy the Ohio Senator will stand with those
who believe the United States must play its full
part in world affairs-for peace-from now on.
1t is true Senator Taft took some shots at the
system of reciprocal trade agreements in his
address, which he called the Hull ll-Clayton
theory of free trade, and at the manner in
which the British loan and others had been
handled. But at the same time he recognized
that the United States must give economic aid,
for its own sake, to tottering Europe.

To the Editor of The Star:
was interested in recent letter appearing
in your paper from Enoch D. Chase, relative to
the experience of himself and his wife when
the latter was applying for naturalization Prior
to becoming counsel for the Senate District Of
Columbia Committee and particularly in the
period when I was the Americanization chair
man of the District of Columbia Bar Associa-
ton in 1945, I had very frequent contact with
our local immigration and naturalization Office.
I also had occasion to appear professionally in
several cases, and always was impressed with
the courteous, efficient and orderly manner in
which the business was dispatched.
There may be some criticism of the housing
which the service now enjoys. Unfortunately,
the building is not Government-owned and was
temporarily used during the war period How
ever, this condition shortly will be remedied
when the entire immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service, including units now located at
Philadelphia, will be housed in local Govern
ment-owned building.

Direct Political Attack.

His most direct attack-in political way
on the Democratic administration is found in
his statement that certainly the administra-
ton, whose policies have produced these results

people for further confidence on the ground
that they are peculiarly fitted. or fitted at all.
to administer foreign policy"
1t has the sound of looking forward to the
new political campaign in which the Demo-
cratic high command already is planning to
sell President Truman to the country as great
champion of international peace-the man who
knows how to keep the peace.
It is also a reply to the 1910 Roosevelt cam
paign, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was put
forward as the one man in the country who
knew how to handle this countrys foreign
relations so that the United States would not
become involved in the war then raging in

To the Editor of The Star
AS lawyer who has had considerable
practice before the Bureau of immigration
and Naturalization in the District, wish
to make some comments in connection with
points raised in letter to the Editor of The
Star, published recently.
The quarters in which the local bureau is
housed are truly deplorable and below the
dignity Of such an important bureau of our
national Government. These premises def
nitely create very bad impression on our
new citizens and shock the natives.
It has been my experience, however, that
the uniform courtesy, sympathetic understand
ing and the high efficiency of the personnel
impress prospective citizen so deeply with
our American way Of life that the handicap
OF these unsuitable quarters is more than
overcome
1t is quite apparent that the heavy case-load
borne by an inadequate staff, together with
the pressure of time, makes it necessary that
cases be handled with a maximum of dispatch,
and for this reason the personnel could not
be expected to have time for social amenities
and pleasantries. Had they done these things
they would be accused of ineffciency and
wasting of Government time However, as
1t is the work is done expeditiously and
efficiently. MABEL BENSON SAKIS.

The Political Mil
Toft's Foreign Policy
Disuppoints IsoIutionists
Aligns Self With Vandenberg on Major
International Issues
By Gould Lincoln


TACOMA, Wash, Sept. Ex-senator Taft of
Ohio in his foreign affairs speech here, def
nitely aligned himself with Senator vanden-
berg of Michigan on the major issues of
foreign policy of the United States. BY so
doing he disappointed isolationists in his own
party-and he probably disappointed Demo-
cratic leaders, who have been calling the Ohio
Senator an isolationist and who would like to
go on doing so should Senator Taft win the
Republican presidential nomination next year.
1t would be difficult to find material difference
between the stand taken by Mr.. Taft on
foreign policy and that of other potential
nominees of the Republican Party-Gov. Dewey
OF New York, Gov Warren of California and
even Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, although
the last is recognized as the farthest over in
the international collaboration book
Further, Mr.. Taft, in this first and important
speech on foreign policy since he took to the
road, has definitely gone on record in support
OF nonpartisan, bipartisan foreign policy He
gave every indication he intended to uphold
the hands of President Truman and Secretary
OF State Marshall, He wants no foreign ma
ton put in q position to say that the United
States is divided on this all-important ques-
ton of foreign relatons-particularly Soviet
Russia.

Arofses Democrats.


The fact that Senator Taft went back into
past history of the conduct of the countrys
foreign relations and severely criticized the
Roosevelt Truman Administrations conduct Of
our foreign affairs not unnaturally has aroused
deep resentment on the part of Democrats.
Such criticism, in itself, is sufficient to bring
from the Roosevelt idolators charges that
Senator Taft is in reality an isolationist and
opposed to international collaboration. Policy
and administration however, are two differ
ent things. His complaint was that the princi-
Piles of the Atlantic Charter had been thrown
into the discard by President Roosevelt when
no protest was made against Russas refusal
to relinquish her hold on Latvia, Lithuania and
Esthonia. In fact, the greater part of the
Taft criticism was lodged against what he
called too soft" policy toward Russia, begun
by President Roosevelt and continuing into
the Truman administration.
This too soft" policy, Senator Taft admitted,
has now been corrected Its genesis, however,
he traced to the New Dealers IN the Roose-
welt administration-among them the late
Harry Hopkins and former Vice President
Henry A. Wallace. AL of this is calculated
to rouse to frenzy the leftists who supported
the late President.

Unless it is unseasonably cold dur
ing the next few weeks, we should
have another bountiful fruit crop
in 1947 Every bushel of fruit we
produce and use properly will help
insure better health and financial
condition.
Fertilizing fruit trees literally will
help to increase production this
year and next Apply fertilizer this
month. The amount needed depends
on the age of the trees and the
amount of new growth made last
year.
Nitrogen is the most important
plant food for fruit trees. Liberal
amounts of manure are good and
should be scattered under the
spread of the branches. Other sourc-
es of nitrogen such as nitrate of soda
should be applied at the rate of
one-fourth to one-half pound for
each year of age of the tree.
On the soil lacking PHOSPHORUS
and potash, trees should receive COM
plete fertilizer such as 6-3-4 and s.

year of age of the tree up to 6 to 8
pounds to the tree.
A good rule to follow: Use the

 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.


 NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-R-The guys who appear the least con- cerned about Bob Rodenberg' s threat to buy the St. Louis Browns and transfer them to Baltimore are the International Leaguers, who would lose some of their most valu- able territory if the deal should go through.
 Ioafing around Proxy Shag Shaughnessy's office just before taking off fer Florida, Leo Miller the Syracuse Clubs chief volun- teered. T can give you the answer to that; George M. Cohan was going to buy Major League Club for 40 years, but he never did.
 "A couple of years ago a bunch of us started figuring how much It wculd cost to move the Browns iotting down various items. We reached 2la million so fast we just gave up.'
 Miller went on to explain that it was at the International Leagues $ insissence that the rule on draft ing" territory was changed so as to give the invaded league full com pensaticn and Shaughnessy added: "Baltimore isn't Major League city with a last place club-ano that's what they will be for several years, at least.
