ton, and the Conservatives regain pow
er, who would head the new govern
ment? Former Prime Minister Winston
Churchill has been angling for the job
but was so overwhelmingly defeated,
and with Britain at war at the time,
he could not hope to win popular ap-
proval. There is Sir Anthony Eden,
whom many have long commended should
have become Prime Minister instead
Of Churchill, but it would take a strong
wind indeed to blow him into Downing
street. Despite his great grasp of the
international situation, his health is
poor, and he is in many ways Church
ills disciple.
As in it's economic crisis, Britain has
little to choose in settling its political

The FOrehanded Dutch

Any way you try, you can't beat
the Dutch. They have been notable
for thrift and foresight for many a
long moon.
The New York Tribune carried an
item a hundred years ago that proves
it. The Herald Tribune, which pub
fishes a little feature Zone Hundred
Years Ago." contained this item in its
August 10 issue:
"a writer in the Christian Intelli-
gencer, says that these immigrants
(from the Netherlands) have made pro-
vision for their wants in the lnad of
their adoption; for they brought with
them their own physicians, schoolmas-
tiers, apothecaries, mechanics-in fact
everything necessary to form a perfect
society; everything but lawyers"

Whole volumes of testimony will be
taken, wholesale disputes will be in
dulged in, press agency wires will dis
tribute tens of thousands of words to
newspaper members. hundreds Of thou
sands of newspaper readers will puzzle

Returning The Attack
An Editorial from the Wall Street journal

The State Departments point
by-point rebuttal of Marshal Tito's
charges against the United States
is ar encouraging sign of a policy
long needed. 1t is particularly
praiseworthy for its promptness-
the Yugoslav tyrant's attack was
released just last week.
In the political war which the
Soviet Union is waging against us
in Europe, nothing is more i'm
portant than propaganda, and few
countries have carried that propa-
ganda to greater and more revolt
ing extremes of vilification h a n
Yugoslavia. We need only recall
the stencil which issued from the
Belgrade press at the time of the
Trieste issue; that, however, was
only one noteworthy example of a
continuing campaign of calumny.
The present attack is typical in
the baselessness Of Yugoslav al
legations and the degree of hatred
they express. One of the charges
was tina t"unselfish, sincere help
is not to be expected from Ameri-
ca, whereas in fact, Of course, we
provided Yugoslavia with more
than $500 million worth of u D.

A Going Concern

The Farmers Cooperative Exchange
Of Robson, St. PauIs and Falrmont
is a going concern. At the annual meet
ing of it's stockholders and patrons in
Lumberton the announcement was
made that a plant is under construction
or the Lumberto -Whiteville highway
adjacent to the Seaboard Air Line,
which will cost $1,000 0 and which will
be used for grain storage, feed mixing
and wholesale distribution.
That such a plant is needed is in
dicated by the fact that the FOX did
a business in the last year amounting
to 1887, 887.76, divided among Lumber
ton $715,5 69, St. Pauls S89,844, and
Fairmont $82,464.
And the business was not a philan-
thropic venture either. The FOX, says
the Robesonian Of Lumberton, paid 6
per cent stock dividends on all stock
and patronage funds, with a per cent
for Robson and Fairmont and 2 per
cent for St. PauPs. The Exchange did
a business of $160,835 in Robson
county alone.
1t is such activities as this that
promise most for the future of eastern
North Carolina.

Britain's Two Crises

Britain's economic crisis is parallel
ed by it's political crisis. The main diff
ference is that whereas the United
States is more or less inclined to offer
relief in the first, the second is Britain's
W affair. No outside aid is available.
Nor would it be welcome if it could be
offered. It would be like Lady Astor
butting in at Washington, as she so
likes to do.
The political crisis appears to stem,
according to a writer in the Wall Street
Journal, from the Labor party's reluc-
lance to accept leadership. Labor"
says the Journal, in it's London Cable
column, wants the sort of chairman
who takes his orders from the national
Labor Party, from the parliamentary
Labor Party and from the Trades
Union Congress. AS a result that leader
is a compromise selection from these
contending forces"
Which seems to suggest that the
Prime Minister, Clement Attlee, holds
but an insecure position. He probably
will continue to hold office for a while,
says the Journal, despite strong triti-
cism which has undoubtedly shaken his
authority both in Parliament and the
country"
If he should be forced to step
down, with the Labor Party still in the
majority, who would be elevated to the
premiership? Perhaps Foreign Minister
Ernest Bevin or Herbert Morrison,
president of the Council. In any event,
the Journal writer foresees a split in
the Labor Party forces between the
stand-patters and the left-wing intel
lectuals.
On the other hand, if the Labor
Party should lose. out in a general cleo

growing pains and we trust the
Indians will value and cherish
carefully the freedom Waic!h they
now possess"
With the ceremony attending the
end Of two hundred years Of Brit
ish rule, the New York Times de-
clares 1.-The Indian people assume
among the powers of the esith
their own separate and equal
status, and establish for them
selves new governments which to
them seem most likely 70 effect
their safety and happiness.
"By the same token" adds the
Times, 1.-THE British Empire, which
has held dominion over one-quar-
ter of the globe and one-quarter
Of mankind, now enters into. a
process of self-liquidation which
removes from it what has always
been its backbone and richest
prize. Yet this dropping of an an
achronistic pomp and circum-
stance holds out the promise of
Transforming an empire of unwill-
ing subjects into a voluntary as
ISOLATION and commonwealth OF
free men"
The Times brings the rioting
and brawling that marked the
change Of status into the proper
perspective, we believe, when it
adds:
The birth of the new India
comes not without pain and vio-
lence. But this violence is taking
place between the Indians them
selves, not between the British
and their Indian subjects. And re-
grettable though it is. this vio-
lence is Of minor import COM
pared with the specter of an In
dian revolutionary war, which
could scarcely be confined to In
dia alone. Indeed, it is part of
the greatness Of the day that the
transition from British rule to In
Dian self-government is being &C
complished by mutual agreement
ard amid reciprocal good : will
eaualed in colonial history onlv
within the British Empire 'tself,
and outside of it only by the
American grant Of independence
to the Philippines"
And with its customary broad
vision, the Times leaves tnis
thought for people everywhere to
ponder as India's future, for veal
or woe, is unveiled:
1.-THE real significance Of the
dav. however, is that it marks the
twilight of colonialism every
where. The whole world of Kip
ling's imagery sinks into oblivion,
the captains and the kings that
strutted across the scene of In
dia's history depart, one hopes,
never to return. Yet at its passing
it is only fair to remember that
with all its grandeur and its
misery, colonialism, too, has per-
formed an historic mission in
bridging the cleavages between
different civilizations. and that the
British Raj in particular has been
not without benefit to the Indian
people."

vi. c.. Review
BY PETER S

That points up the need OF two
things. First, shifting government
of the occupation zones from mill
tary to civilian control. That is
now being worked on. In due time
the State Department will take
over this job from the War De-
partment, though Army police will
remain. Second is the making of
peace treaties with Japan and
Germany.
The Jap treaty is not expected
to cause great difficulty, because
in Japan the U. S. has major con-
troll. If Russia doesn't want to 60
along, the other Allies can make
separate peace. German peace is
something else again. The Big
Four foreign ministers meet in
London in November for another
attempt at writing a treaty for
all of Germany.
In the meantime, much can be
done to build up the German
economy. The problem is eco
nomic first, political second. 1t
becomes a political problem-how
to handle communism-only if the
business life of Germany is al
lowed to collapse completely.
Management Of the two combin-
ed zones, to make them self-sup-
porting by 1851. was set up on a
$3.50 basis. If the British want the
U. S. to pay more of the costs
and indications seem to point that
way-that will raise the issue Of
whether the U. S. will have pro-
portionately greater control.
Only good would come Of that,
for it would speed up the recov-
cry of Germany by breaking pro-
duction bottlenecks and putting
American policies and manage
ment over tagging German indus
tries.
The French, in the long run,
are expected to come along.
French leaders are still making
speeches against revival of Ger
man industry = for political pur-
poses.
In the desire to liquidate the
costly American occupation of
Germany, there may be some
noisy demand here at home to
turn the job Of running western
Europe over to the French. They
have done a good job in their
own zone. 1t is self-supporting.
But any thought Of turning the
Ruhr over to the French is out.
All that would mean would be
the bleeding of Germany. That
would throw the German people
into an alliance with the Russians.
That would mean the collapse Of
all Europe.

WASHINGTON - When young
Brig.-Gen. Charles E. Saltzman
takes over as Assistant Secretary
Of State for Occupied Areas, he
will assume policy making re-
s%ponsibility for a military govern
ment that is currently running
over 81 billion a year in the red.
This billion is the present cost OF
u. S, occupation in enemy coun-
tries. 1t is divided roughly one
third for Germany, one-thlrd for
Japan, the rest for Austria and
Korea.
All Saltzman win have 10 do in
the next few years is try to liqui-
date the business or come as close
as he can to making it break
even. It's a terrific job even for
a vice president of the New York
Stock Exchange. which is what
Saltzman gave up to come to
Washington. For the past few
weeks. he has been sitting in with
the present Assistant Secretary,
Maj.-Gen. John H. Hilldring, who
is resigning Sept. /. pretty
soon," says Hilldring, "I'l be able
to look at this thing effectively"
He has been in it up to his
ears for over five years. In the
War Department, before he moved
to State. he shaped policies for
the first U. S. military govern
ment in occupied areas.
Looking back on the record. he
can point to the fact that the Unit
ed States has stuck to the same
detectives all the way through.
This was to try to make the enc
my countries into democracies.
The methods of trying to achieve
that objective have been changed
from time to time-from the origi-
nal directive 1867, to the Potsdam
declaration, to the Byrnes Stuff
CART policy, to the recently revised
1867 and on to the Marshall plan
now being worked out.
General Hilldripg believes that
the U. S. can take pride in the
fact that the governments Of the
American zones in Germany, Aus
tria, Japan and Korea r most
successful and most popular with
the people. They have not yet
been made into democratic citi-
zens in the American meaning of
the term, but they have freedom
such as they never knew and their
education for democracy is taking
hold.
There comes a time, however.
when military government wears
out. General Macarthur has been
doing some talking on that in ia
pan. He puts the time limit be-
tween three ana i've years.

The National Guard

In general the records of history
show that compulsory military training,
which is the basis of conscript military
establishments, ultimately leads to the
defeat of nations employing it. So far
as the United States is concerned,
there are two schools of thought con-
corning it's employment here.
One school, including President Tru-
man and some of the country's high
military authorities, contends that COM
pulsory training is the only method
which can assure a sufficient and all
powerful defense force if we are again
led into war.
The other school holds that mas
much as the United States has always
depended on a citizens army, and has
always been successful in combat, a
departure from this system would
create a militaristic nation and so
jeopardize our chances of victory in
another conflict.
Free men, they say, fighting to re-
tain their freedom, have the advantage,
even against greater numbers, over
men forced to take up rms
To which viewpoint one clings ma
turally is a matter of individual choice.
The important aspect of the situation
just now is that the United States must
be prepared to maintain it's military
strength in face of the increasing threat
of war.
If enlistments in the regularly
armed forces fall below the number be-
lieved needed for this purpose, and if
compulsory training is to be avoided,
the obvious alternative is a strong
voluntary force which can be called
into active service in any emergency.
The President is calling upon the
National Guard, a citizens ~organiza-
ton, to start a recruiting campaign
next month with the object of enlist
ing a man a minute. National Guard
Week" is set to open on September 16
in all states, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
1t was seven years ago that the Ma
tional Guard was indicted into service
for World War II. How we'll it served
in that conflict is too we'll known to re-
quire special emphasis. The country
had an army at hand, already trained,
largely equipped, and ready to take the
field. Yet the members had not pre-
viously been required to suspend their
regular business and professional &C.
Invites, but had learned the trade of
the soldier while continuing the custo-
mary routine of private citizenship:
A strong National Guard is as desir-
able, in these times of international
turmoil and uncertainty, as the regular
Army itself. May the recruiting COM
paign initiated by the President far ex-
coed the goal.
