PACIFIC: Doorsteps TO U.S S. Defense
Bouoht With Blood

The United States, with wary eye
on the future, indicated it intended TO
keep the strategic chains of Japanese
mandate islands in the Pacific to in
sure American security. Many of them
were purchased with American blood
during the last war.
The State Department formally
submitted draft agreement to Secre-
tary-General Trygve Lie and MEM
bers of the United Nations Security
Council which asked the world organ
ization to place these stepping stone"
islands under American administra-
ton.
Regardless of UN. approval the
us. made it clear it had no intention
of giving up the islands considered
so essential to American defense.
The 623 islands, including most of
the Marshalls, Marianas and Carolines,
extend north from the equator about
1900 miles and range about $500
miles from east to west. They have a
total land area of only 829 square
miles and a population of about $4,000.
With the exception of Guam in the
Marianas, an American possession re-
ceived from Spain, these islands were
formerly German possessions, man.

Q Two holdup men took S40O from a
Bronx, N. Y, pharmacy, made the

swallow six. Then the owner and
customer walked in, were stripped OF
their money and forced to take two
pills each. After the bandits fled, the
owner removed the pills from under
his tongue, the clerk took an emeuc

hadn't been much in his wallet any

ent national labor laws. In the field of
foreign affairs, Republicans have
shown the beginnings of basically diff
ferent concepts of economic AID
abroad and the reciprocal tariff pro-
gram.
A month ago joint Senate-House
committee began study of President
Truman's budget request for the fiscal
year 1947-48, which called for $37,-
5O0,000,000 The Republican majority
recommended cuts Cotaling S6,0O0,-
100000, including a slash of Sl,750.-
100000 in the Presidents request OF
200,000,000 for national defense.
Unsettled World Conditions
The President warned that his
budget requests were rock bottom"
and military leaders testified that the
proposed economies would ham
string" the armed forces Secretary of
State George c. Marshall declared
that in the face of the unsettled inter
national situation the United States
must remain militarily strong until
effective world safeguards were eStab-
liShed.
The recommendations of the joint
committee went to the House and
Senate where they met different fates
In the House, the Republican major
ity barred amendments to the reSolu
ton calling for the S6,0O0,0 900
budget slash. A conference of Senate
Republicans, however. voted to hold
the proposed budget cut to S4,500,-
100000 rather than $4,000, 100000.
There were indications that the
Senate and House later might confer
with the probability of a compromise
on a cut of about $4,000, 100000.
Pending Labor Curbs
The House and Senate Judiciary
committees readicd bills clarifying
the portal pay issue under the wage
hour act, law which Justice Robert
H. Jackson declared had been OBJ
scured by elastic and somewhat IN
predictable Supreme Court decisions
Labor's two warning factions the
American Federation of Labor and
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, decided to confer about merg-
ing.
The President asked Congress fol
laws to put an early end to many
emergency powers.

Press agents used to write With six
adjectives to the noun and if any
noun wasn't strong enough to stand
six adjectives they'd just strike it out
and let the adjectives stand alone
Times and writing styles have changed,
however, except possibly in British
and American government bureaus.
The London Times, august arbter
Of the Kings English, lashed editori-
ally against government preoccupa-
ton with personnel"
The French-deriVed synonym for

Subsidy
Hot Potatoes

One of the most hotly condemned
New Deal policies during the depres-
sion was the practice OF blowing un-
der portions of certain crops to pre-
vent surpluses from running govern
ment-pegged farm practices. For
time farmers even were paid not to
raise some crops A decade later
Washington is in much the same posi-
ton. This time its problem is literally
hot potatoes.
Under a subsidy program to keep
farming profitable, the government
bought at S220 bushel the surplus
of last years record potato crop. Tons
OF them now are rotting in ware
houses and at open air storage points
and the Department of Agriculture
has tried desperately to get rid of
them, regardless of price. without de-
stroying the domestic market.
Efforts TO unload them through for
eign governments and international
relief agencies have been unsuccessful
because refrigeration, dehydration and
shipping costs are too expensive
The government offered potatoes
for commercial export at 35 cents 6
hundred pounds. A piddling 5,O000OC
bushels were taken by some foreigf
governments, principally Belgiu m
taly, Spain, France and Portugal
| LAST week the government cut its tirs
offer to cents a hundredWeight.
In desperation as storage stock
continued to rot, the government or
dered the start OF potato dumping fo
use as fertilizer. Farmers ploWed ther

COVIET Russia, preparing to ad
~ as host to the Big Four con.
ference of foreign ministers in
Moscow on March 10, is exhibiting
a bewildering yet characteristic
tOu9hnesS.
In rapid succession within the past
few weeks, there has been an official
protest over remarks of a US. diplo-
mat, rising anti-American campaign
in the Moscow press, a studied re-
fusal to discuss settlement of Lend
Lease debts and a traditional reluc-
tance to open the country to foreign
visitors.
Vyacheslav NJ. Molotov, Soviet for
eign minister, protested that testi-
mony of Undersecretary of State Dean
Acheson before a Senate committee
constituted a gross SANDER hostile to
his country. Acheson was called TO
testify on the fitness Of David E.
Lilienthal to become head of the U. S.
Atomic Energy Commission and un-
der grilling by an avowed opponent
Of Lil;enthal replied that he was quite
aware that Russian foreign policy was
AN aggressive and expanding one
The Moscow protest was rejected
with the explanation that under Amer
lean law, public official testifying
under oath before Congressional
committee. has to express his views
t:uthluliy and fully, if required.
Republicans Attacked
Icre&tia, a Moscow daily, charged
that Republicans in the United States
were ready to join Britain in Il mill
tary attack against Russia and ac-
cused John Foster Dulles Of seeking
to wreck American-Soviet relations
on the eve OF the Moscow conference
by urging u western bloc in Europe.
The article said the reason for the
so-c2lled antl-RusSian campaign was
that the Soviet Union had succeeded
during recent U.N meetings in show
ing up the United States as military
and imperahstic state"

press and radio, evident in December

INA: Both Sides Blame War on H. s.

NHINA'S warning factions at
~ last have found something to
agree on: they both blame Amer
ica for China's civil war.

American aid to China went to

ing for a truce in the decades-lo long
fcud between Nationalists and Com
munists. Some of Americas best eco
nomic and diplomatic brains, includ-
ing Donald Nelson and Gen. Marshall,
now Secretary of State, sought the
formula.
Cool to Gen. Marshall
Reports from Nanking had Chang
cool all along to the insiStence of
President Truman and Gen. Marshall
that he halt internal strife and reor-
9anize his ore-party government be-
fore they would agree to hand over
more millions to his Kuomintang
Party.
None of these conditions were met
after more than a year of patient
American mediation and now U S.
forces and credits are being with
drawn
Repeatedly determined to wipe out
Chinese Communists, Chang is said
to be bitter at the American refusal
to continue sending him arms and
money TO do it.
Americas Fault
Now Charc Will have 10 get along
on his aoWn, fighting the Communists
with what hc has left from the war
materiel and money previously sent
him. 1t means protracted war, per-
haps extending two to five years. So
in Chlang's mind, it is said, it is all
Americas fault.
The Chinese Communists have
charged repeatedly that funneling OF
!. all aid to China through the generals
simo is the real cause of China's con-
| tinuing civil strife. Without outside
t aid Chang would have had to form &

but with American funds he has SCI
