FORT RENO, Okla. Aug. 49,
Remember the 100 sweating GIs
gentling 1000 United States mules
for the Greeks?
They're a quiet bunch tonight.
The last straw has just fallen on
their aching backs.
They are going to Greece as
nursemaids to the mules.
And it will be no sightseeing touI
AS soon as they get the mules
sent as part of a 4O0,000,000 United
States Greek Turkish aid program
safely to a Greek port they will
turn right around and return to the
United States.
The mules and the GIs will not
all go together, however.
Five hundred of the mules and
50 of the GIs will sail from New
Orleans around September l, Col
Morris M. liable, commander of the
remount station here, was advised
Then-so no partiality will be

One of the saddest looking mule
skinners. when word of the trip
seeped out, was Pfc. Charles Nc
Grath, who lived in San Francisco
Calf. before he took up the Army
as a career.
Il was all set to get married
next month";" he moaned. And now
what have I got ahead of me?
"A honeymoon with mule
instead"
Others among the group took the
news philosophically.
"As long as it's a round trir
ticket and I'm coming back, what
can I lose but a little skin?" Thoma.
Ritchie of Hazard, KY, said a!
he applied salve to rope burns or
his hand being hauled around by
one of the mules during ''gentling
session.
Anyway, the mules are staying
in Greece
The mules have been in training
here since the later part of June
and have been taught to carry
packs, both as led and free animal!
and have undergone a gentling pro.
cess in sessions which looked like
amateur rodeos.
In addition, they have had theil
hooves manicured and their fetlock:
sheared in trimming pen where
they were thrown and tied to keeE
them from taking the trimmers
apart.
The pack animals will be shipped
without shoes-a point that brought
a grin back to even the most glum
looking GIs.
"Wait'll the Greeks try to shoe
some of them," they chuckled.

of evidence that this is true. But I
submit that Soviet leaders must have
serious qualms about such policy,
from the viewpoint Of ultimate So
viet-and Kremlin--security.
It is assumed in this country that
European Communist revolutions
would continue inevitably to accept
Kremlin dictation. Only If they
should do so could they be instru-
ments of Russian hegemony. I,
however, suggest that Soviet leaders
are by no means certain of such an
outcome.
Mr.. Stain, Mr.. Vishinsky, and Mr..
Molotov know lots more about revo-
lutions than we do. The Russian
Communist revolution has not dis
played unbroken " ideological' con-
tinuity. 1t started with a coalition
of left-wing parties, gradually purged
out the non-Bolsheviks, and finally
assumed full power after a terrible
civil war.
| Factions Develop in Party.
But that was not the end OF
troubles. Bitter factions developed
within the Russian Bolshevist Party.
Purges of social revolutionaries and
Mensheviks extended to almost all
original Bolsheviks and might, had
he lived, have included Lenin as well
as his old comrades - notably
Trotsky.
Furthermore, the Russian revolu-
tionaries have learned, and thereby
been warned, that national patriot
ism is still the strongest mass emo
tion-even in Russia. Not COM
munism but the fatherland was the
rallying cry of the Russian war.
Now, in trying to put myself into
the Russian mind, should think
those two experiences would give
the Kremlin pause in contemplating
European revolutions. Thirty years
of almost continuous purges have
made the Russian Communist Party
reliable. But is there any reason
for counting on similar reliability of
European parties?
There is not and Mr.. Stain, at
least, knows it.
Under their present leadership
European Communists are reliable
Messrs. Beirut, Gottwald, Tito, Ra-
kosi, Groza, PECK, Togliatti and
Duclos are Moscow-trained. indoc-
trinated disciples of Stalinist theory,
with docility recognizing the Krem-
lin as the center of European politi-
cal decision. But there are only
handful of such men, and they are
only three-quarters in power where
the Russian armies stand.

this was not pleasing to the Attor-

was not to the liking of Secretary
Krug, whose department Is respon-
sible for the public lands. Both are
willing to wash their hands OF the
whole thing. even If they have te
wash them in crude oil.
President, Truman's attitude ir
this whole affair Is hardly matter
of conjecture, since two members o1
his cabinet have undertaken te
ALLEVIATE rich Government oil prop
critics. Moreover, the stipulations
went pretty far to commit President
Truman to the proposition that he
too proposed to do whatever he
could to nullify the decision Of the
Supreme Court.
Since these stipulations, in effect
would overrule solemn decision ol
the Supreme Court, 1t would seem tc
me that their authors are in con-
tempt of the Supreme Court. Nc!
only is it the purpose to whittle dowr
the area covered by the decision
under bizarre theory of what really
constitutes an INLAND waterway,
it is proposed that everything skal,
remain in statu quo until legisla
ton shall be passed by Congress.
Naturally, if Congress should never
pass any legislation, which might be
the easy way out, especially in a
campaign year, then the United
States might theoretically own valu-
able property, from which favorite
individuals would be reaping the
profits. It even seems to be the in
tention not to ask for an accounting
of the royalties that have been col
lected by California, and by certain
political subdivisions of that State
OF course, the operating companies
can be required to pay these royal
ties but surely the honorable State
of California would protect them
from paying again what the State
has already collected.
This oil-rich property belongs tc
the United States. The Supreme
Court has said so. officers OF the
United States who, in weak mo-
ment, seek to set aside such an i'm
portant finding of that high tri-
bunal, are more than contemptuous
of the Supreme Court. They thumb
their noses at the people, whose ser
wants they profess to be. They con-
spire against the public interest.
If these oil lands belong to the
people, as the Supreme Court says
that they do, then the profits belong
to the people. Californians are en-
titled to their shave, but no more.

conclusion that Moscow is stock-pil-
ing food for military emergencies.
Efforts of some Western European
governments to purchase some OF
Russia,s excess food have failed
Moscow has not even bothered to
discuss the proposals of some coun-
tries which need grain to feed their
hungry people.
The French and italian people
have been told through the propa-
ganda of local Communist parties
that so long as they have ''reac-
tionary Socialist governments" such
as those headed by Paul Ramadier
and Alcide de Gasperi, not bushel
of wheat will come from behind the
iron curtain. Their salvation will
come about only when they indorse
good Communist governments with

Thorez at their head.
Food Weapon of Russians.
In other words, the Russians, who
loudly accuse the United States OF
using food and raw materials as in
struments for political domination
demand that their stooges take over

slightest reason to assume that II
all Europe went Communist, this
condition would long continue be-
yond the liquidation Of rightist
opposition. Thereafter the church
and other MARKHAM parties would
have to be purged. The process
would throw up new leaders and
new slogans bidding for mass sup
port, and one slogan certainly would
be: Down with the false Com
munists and foreign agents" Mean
while, European Communists really
would have power-and Red armies
In short, to use communism as an
instrument of Russian hegemony
the Kremlin must control elemental
revolutions. In all history has that
ever been possible? In the French
revolution? And when by foreign
dictation? What guarantee, to put
it bluntly, has the Kremlin that
European revolutions would be Stall
mist and not Trotskykist? Or that
the bitterest opposition to Russian
hegemony would not come from a
Communist Europe and Communist
armies led by new Trotskys?
The Kremlin has no such guaran-
tee. The bitterest wars in history
the Thirty Years War, for instance
have been fought over conflicting
interpretations of the same religion.

know this, and know that through

leaping into the abyss.

tation of the 16 European nations as
suggested by Secretary of State
Marshall. He realizes that this is a

discussed after full investigation.
He also realizes that unstable po-
litical conditions in Western Europe
may make many members Of Con-
gress doubt the advisability of pledg-
ing a large part of this country's
resources when there is no clear
proof that the democratic European
governments can maintain them
selves against the onslaught Of
strong Communist minorities. But
he wants Western Europe to be given
a fighting chance to resist Mos
cows offensive.
In addition to the mistakes OF It's
previous administrations, France
had4a poor crop season because Of
weather. Bread is the most impor-
tant food item in that country. At
present the bread ration is about
half a pound per person a day. and
unless more wheat and flour reaches
France soon, this will have to be cut

ounces.
Put Food Before Politics.
The hungry population, which
thinks In terms of food rather than
politics, blames the government for
its misfortune and pays attention
to the Communists propaganda that
under their administration the peo-
pie would not lack bread. The
French revolution broke out IN 1888
when the housewives could obtain no
flour to make bread.
The French governments only
chance to survive and carry out a
democratic rehabilitation lies IN the
immediate shipment of a limited
quantity of wheat or flour to France,
according to Mr.. Bidault.
If this does not serve the purpose
and the government succumbs to
Thorez' threat, America stands to
lose little. The French contend 1t
is a worthwhile gamble for us, for

ing that the United States has ex-
elusive control of the tidelands,
which, In California, are rich in oil
The three men in question have filed
stipulations in the Supreme Court
which, in effect, apologize for the
effrontery of the Government in
claiming title to these lands.
Proposing to deprive the people
of the United States of any present
or even prospective, benefit from this
oil, Messrs. Clark and Krug over
looked the fact that no executive
officer, but only Congress, may
ALLEVIATE property of the United
States. These stipulations not only
would have the effect of taking
money out of the United States
Treasury for the benefit of Cali
fornia; the purpose plainly is to
whittle down the property that be-
longs to the United States.

These supposed servants of the

way" Under this doctrine, any
State abutting on the ocean, or any
city located on the shore line, could
create an INLAND waterway by
building piers, which would take
title out Of the. United States, even
although it would not take salt out
of the water.
Another effect OF these stipula-
tions is to put the Supreme Court
strictly in It's place. The court has
decided that these tidelands belong
