As Safeguard in Wartime
BY the Associated Press

Gen. Eisenhower advocated again
today the adoption of universal
training so that-should war come
again-it shall not find us unready."
The principle of democracy i'm
poses on each American ''the duty
of service in the manner: most ef-
fective for the preservation for our
way of life" the Army Chief of staff
said in statement. He added that
selective service is the wartime ap-
plication of that principle and Its
logical peacetime application" is
universal military training. Contin-
uing, he said:
so long as the use of force has
not been forever and effectively
barred from international relation
ships, this responsibility must be
met soberly and seriously by the
United States.
Universal military training as
proposed by the Presidents Advisory
Commission Is an important clause

DC. More Dependent
Than Guam OF Samoa ,
Publisher Declares
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. al The de-
pendency of residents of the District
of Columbia on the Federal Gov
ernment exceeds by far that of the
people of Guam, Puerto Rico or
Samoa" Philip L. Graham, pub
Usher of the Washington Post, told
the New York Herald Tribune
Forum last night.
mot even the forms, of self-gov-
ernment allowed to the conquered
Germans and Japanese are granted
to the residents of Washington" he
added.
THE people of the District are
not incapable of self-government, "
Mr.. Graham said. I'm point Of
fact, they comprise a higher per-
centage of college graduates and
high school graduates than any
community in the country. And
government is their principal occu-
patton. But the sorry truth is that
there has descended upon them to
some extent that apathy which is
characteristic of dependent peoples
everywhere"
Only 10 Per Cent Backed Self-Rule.
Mr.. Graham said that results Of
an unofficial plebiscite on self-gov-
ernment taken last year in Wash
ington showed only 10 per cent voted
for loco1 Sc1f.UOvarpment
1T must be admitted that there
are shabbier reasons than mere
apathy behind some of the opposi-
ton to home rule for Washington" ="
he said. "It would be dishonest to
avoid mention of them. In its cul-
ture, Washington is essentially a
Southern city.
I'm the Capital City of the worlds
greatest democracy, formal racial
segregation is extensively practiced.
Undemocratic racial ideals work
with multiplied force in the un-
democratic atmosphere of COM
munity deprived Of the right OF
self government.
They work in q vicious circle.
The lack of local government keeps
the citizens from gaining any prac-
tical experience In working out
racial adjustments on local level.
This begets a climate of ignorance
and blind fear which, in turn, has
led many white citizens to be will
ing to give up the franchise them
selves rather than permit the Negro
to vote"
Sees Congress Efforts Wasted.
Mr.. Graham said the present sys-
tenn of governing the District
through committees of Congress re-
suits in Senators and Representa-
tives wasting away their energies
passing local ordinances for Wash
ington."
Ernest H. Gruening. Governor of
Alaska, and Joseph H. harrington,
Delegate to Congress from Hawaii,
urged that statehood be granted to
those territories.
Gov. Gruening said the present
political status and economic condi-
tions of Alaskans "are more closely
akin to serfdom than to sover-
eighty"
1T is my conviction" he told the
forum, shared by the majority of
Alaskans, that territoriality is the
major factor in retarding growth
and development"
Mr.. Harrington said statehood
"W0Il1d greatly enhance the inf7,I-
ence of the United States in the
Pacific and among all dependent
peoples"
ITO compel the people of this
Territory to continue in their pres
ent status would be not only the
violation of a promise, but con-
trary to the wish of the people
themselves, who voted, by a ma
jority of more than 2 to /, for
statehood in a plebescite in 1940,"
he declared.

Declaring that Russia is clingins
to one idea of government, while tht
United States holds fast to another
Secretary Forrestal said that lit i:
better to live In two worlds than tt
accept force as the means to impose
our views or our system"
Addressing the 18th annual New
York Herald Tribune Forum, Secre'
tary Forrestal said the "externa
world is not now in equilibrium,
and added:
TT seems to me that men must
face the fact that equilibrium OF
balance of power rather than any
single formula of either politics OF
economics is the answer to an OF
derly and decent world"
Must Be Prepared.
II am confident that most of our
citizens are also in agreement that
the surest way to avoid war is to
have any possible group of enemies
known that the risks of engaging
us are too great to make it worth
while"
Asserting that Americans hate

Forrestal said I'VE have the deepest
revulsion against its brutality, its
economic waste and its sacrifice
of the young and the brave Yet
they are some alternatives to wal

Concentration camps, life in a

in constant fear of the midnight
knock on the door and the summons
to answer for the alleged crime OF
having his own opinion-these are
some of the alternatives to which
we believe even war Is preferable"
John G.. Winant, former Ambassa-
dor to the Court of st. James's, tolo
the forum that world stability de-
pends largely upon the stability OF
the United States.
"A new danger in the aftermath
Of the present war, to private enter
prise here and to peace abroad, is
unprecedented profits in combina-
ton with the high costs of the
necessities of life," he said. 1T
creates dissension at home and runs
counter to our foreign policy" he
said.
Questions Food Exports.
"The worker who cannot buy sui :
ficient food for his children at home
queries our economic system and
because of his difficulties, questions
our program to export foodstuffs
abroad; and yet the same man does
not want his children to grow up
only to be killed in another war.
I'm unwilling to believe that the
good sense of the people or the co.
operation of private business ane
the government cannot find ar
answer to this grave problem"
Earlier, Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder said that the American
Interpretation of freedom "encom.
passes far more than mere escape
from economic or political slavery,
and declared that this country's
quest for security is based on its
system of free enterprise.

Swedish Beet-Dieeing
Machine Saves Labor
And Money

STOCKHOLM - The Swedish
Sugar Company has for several
years past been carrying on ex-
periments with a view of con-
structing a labor-saving machine
for beet-digging. The first speci-
mems of this machine were put into
practical operation during last
year
Although all difficulties have
not yet been overcome, promising
results have been obtained. The
machine is drawn by tractor and
is followed by two trailers. for
heets and beet-tops respectively.
1t is calculated to dig beets from
an area of nearly 2l2 acres a day.
1t requires three or four persons
to serve the tractor, the machine
and the trailers, whereas it now
takes 1920 persons to dig the
same quantity of beets.
One of the advantages of the
new machine is that soil is re-
moved from the beets more effec-
lively than at present by means
Of vigorous shaking.

The relations of the Democratic

ty have not been satisfactory. The
kuomintang distrusted the group
and so did not recognize it. Since

party The members are hoping
this will lead to the regeneration
