not merely to communism, which Is
only one phase Of it, what do we
propose to do about the Fascist
regime of Peron in the Argentine?
If we are too deeply involved in
Greece and Turkey to bother about
this dangerous example of Nazi
totalitarianism that is much closer
to us, would we be willing that the
United Nations, or one of our Allies,
helped to sweep our own doorstep
clean while we are engaged else
where? Perhaps Great Britain, or
even Russia, might undertake to
act as the deputy of the United
Nations in cauterizing Naziism in
the Argentine.
The fact seems to be that while we
now become so belligerent at the
very thought Of communism, our
blood turns to skim milk when we
are asked to face the menace of
fascism, which is so much the twin
of communism that they cannot
be distinguished. We have allowed
Peron, the dictator of Argentina, to
thumb his nose at us. While Spruille
Braden is still an Assistant Secre-
tary of State, he has apparently
been hamstrung.
Meanwhile, we are misrepresented
by Ambassador George S. Messer-
smith, who has endeared himself
to this totalitarian apple which
has the potentialities of corrupting
all OF the others in the South Amer
ican barrel.

But to me it was not a reply at ALL
1t was diplomatic circumlocution
that ignored important facts which
should have been stated frankly so
that the Congress and the country
might draw their own conclusions
as to the possibility of eventual war.
Acting Secretary Acheson did not
elaborate on what he meant by
Strengthening the forces of democ-
racy and freedom" Why decorate
lily and scent a rose? Does he
regard Turkey as a democracy or as
a champion of the cause Of free
dom? Where was Turkey during
the First World War? And just what
in the way of aid or comfort did
it hold out to the Allies when they
were SO hard pressed by the Nazi
gangsterS during the second con-
flict? While tragedy was threaten
ing democracy and freedom" every
where in the world, Turkey black

essential war material, to Hitler. No
one will deny that modern Turkey
is strongly nationalistic and wants
to live unto itself. However, it

word democracy" except possibly
as an interesting abstraction.

full cry. Jean shook out pocket
books that she had crocheted as a
girl and came up with a 10-lira
note in a beaded bag she had
bought in Italy when Leonardo
was an art student. We placer

emptied tea pots, and ripped open
mattresses.
We found a lot Of interesting
things, but little or no money-our
total haul being $685., a good share
of it in pennies that had turned
green. We found an old shoe coupon
which, in the days of rationing,
every one in the house had accused
every one else of making off with.
Old Letter Found.
We found an old letter written by
me from the South Pacific in which
I pledged my undying love and
promised that once I got home I
would forever be the ideal husband
and would love to NOW the lawn,
pick up my own clothes, wash my
razor, do most of the marketing,
stop gambling, and never utter an
other cross word as long as I lived
The snorts of derision which this
brought forth from the gal it was
written to more than Offset the
finding of the $685. insofar as ]
was concerned.
We decided that this emergency
would never arise again and that
next March IS would find us not
alarmed and frantic but with ample
cash on hand to pay the whole
years tax in one whack. To do
this would be simple we figured.
All we would have to do would be
to cut down on little extrava-
gances and sock the money away
in the bank under a special income
tax fund.
I told Jean right off that she
could cut out most of the money
she spent at the hairdresser's. I
painted her a glowing picture of
to wash their own hair in rain
water they had caught and saved
and how they always gave them
selves manicures and how nice they
always looked.
Counterpreposal Offered.
She received this with little or no
enthusiasm, pointing out that if I
would give up smoking, we could
save more than the hairdresser
money. We let these two chances
to save slide by. Then Jean sug-
gested that, if I played golf for the
exercise, just as I always claim I
do. carrying my own clubs would
be extremely beneficial.
I countered by saying that any
one who talked as much about
being a poor card holder might as
well cut down on the number of
bridge sessions.
BY this time q little nastiness
was creeping into the conversation.
Jean said it wouldn't hurt me to
do my own shoe shining and I
wanted to know why women had
to have so confounded many pairs
of shoes when they could wear only
one pair at time.
Then we decided to compromise
by saving on things that would af-
feet us both equally, such as stew
instead of steak, using regular in
stead of special gasoline, using the
cream off the top CT the milk in
stead of buying cream, and always
taking buses instead of taxis. We
were both perfectly happy with this
solution because each of us knew
there wouldn't be any living up
to it,

n Affairs Committee last Thurs
by strengthening the forces of
retary Acheson had in mind when
ne spoke of the forces of democ-
racy and freedom" High-mindedly
the State Department seems to think
of King George as an unimportant
Ifgurehead. But would we be up
holding a real democracy in Greece
with King George still occupying
the throne. supported by the most
selfish and reactionary elements in
Greece?
If we send these huge sums of
money to Greece and Turkey, they
ought to be to invest in democracy.
Undoubtedly Greece needs financial
help now more than Turkey. Greece
had no chrome on which to build up
a great war fortune, in addition to
which Greece was in the war on
the side of the Allies and so learned
by personal experience how cruel
and deadly the Nazi gangsters were.
King George III is sustained in
power by the wealthy Greeks. And
they are buttressed in their posi-
tion by an ineouitable tax system
which rests most heavily upon the
poor. It is one thing for this coun-
try to propose to share the burden of
maintaining Greece, but it is an
other thing for us to permit the
money that we pour into Greece to
be siphoned off into the hands of
a few, including the Court. Those
who now hide secure behind a tax
system designed to favor. the well
to do should also be willing to make
the same kind of sacrifices that the
income tax payers in the United
States are about to be called upon
to make.
We ought not to establish a new
doctrine that "the United States
helps those who do not help them
selves"
What Of Argentina?
Another question that might have
been asked of Acting Secretary
Acheson or some other representa-
tive of the State Department Is
whether we are undertaking holy

streets? Is it economical?-H. H.
A. According to the American
Public Works Association, rock salt
is used for snow removal in Hart
ford, Conn, with good results
Rock salt was sprinkled literally on
the streets after every storm to melt
the snow and plows are used only in
the residential districts. The method
is effective and economical, and
cheaper than the exclusive use OF
snow plows.
