communism started in their pro-
vince and would end there.
Beyond the alien character OF
Marshal Tito, who is a deeper enig-
ma than Stain, and the Montene-
grin predominance among his i'm
mediate aides, the character of the
Communist regime which holds
Yugoslavia in such tight grip is a
conglomeration of Southern Slavs
with a generous sprinkling of Rus
sian agents. The present Yugoslav
Army is reputed to total about 500,-
900, of which perhaps 100000 are ac-
tual Communists. Added to this are
the various local and national police
agencies. especially the notorious
Ozna, whose background is so filled
with terror that it will soon acquire
new name in an effort to cloak
it in respectability. just as the Rus
slams abandoned the Cheka for the
OGPU and finally the NKVD.
Beyond the conscript army, the
Communist-ruled police and the ex-
tremely small membership of the
Communist Party, Marshal Tito's
regime rests on no popular founda-
ton, but the Yugoslavs are more or
less resigned to their fate as for
gotten people, at least until some
hope rises Of liberation from Com
munist rule.

YugosIavia Is Dominated by Few Rulers

There is no visible encouragement
for the Yugoslavs anywhere on the
horizon right now. There is moth
ing in Ango- American foreign policy
particularly toward Russia, which
could keep alive even spark of
optimism that the country's release
from Communist tyranny is any,
where in the foreseeable future.
Both the United States and Britain
are more interested in Russian will
iingness to adopt a conciliatory at
titude than they are in pressing for
liberation of the Yugoslavs from
communism.
Italians Could Help.
The one hope they may have is in
the victory of anticommunism in
Italy, which may serve as stimulus
for reaction against communism in
France. If these two spearheads of
Communist penetration in Western
and Southern Europe can be bitten
of, the front against communism
can be established in Yugoslayia,
perhaps with Italian armed help.
Meanwhile, Marshal Tito is en-
|trenching himself in power by va
rious means. The jail walls are ris-
ing around all the Balkans, promis-
ing to inclose the peoples Of South

These securities are to be sold

In September, 1946, Maj. Cooper

Science Can Find Way.
DR.. Parran and his staff at the
Cancer Institute believe that in
time the secrets Of cancer can be
discovered if enough scientific brains
huddle over the problem, as they
did over the atomic project.
THE cancer problem today and
the atomic bomb situations in 1941
are quite dissimilar," says DR..
Parran.
For instance, in 1941, the funda-
mental knoWledge regarding atofHic
fission was much more complete
than is our current knowledge OF
cancer prevention.
Intensified studies, broadly based
to find the cause and cure of cancer
probably will be most fruitful If di-
rected towards the fundamental
problems of cellular life, the inter-
action of groups of cells and organ
systems in this most complicated OF

First impressions of England un-
der a Socialist government are
vivid, stimulating and, in large
measure, favorable.
The people themselves are just
about the most courageous, cour-
teous, good -humored and self-dis-
ciplined of any on the face OF the
earth. Their patience under the
trials of war and postwar misery
is awe inspiring.
Anyone, no matter what his po-
litical prejudices, would bow in res
pect to the determined effort now
being made by the Labor govern
ment to feed, clothe and house
these people better and more
equitably. ,
Ancient injustices as between
classes are being wiped out. In
the national registration offices
where the ration cards are issued,
the poor and the rich stand in
line together and share equally in
the necessities of life.
Revolt Based on Fair Play.
There is revolution under way
here, but it is of new kind. It
is British and, therefore, is based
upon fair play, justice and a de-
cent consideration for the rights of
all concerned. 1t is quiet, blood
less, legalistic revolution.
And there is a reason@ for it.
The needs of the people could not
be supplied by obsolete machinery
both in industry and in govern
ment. Methods, forms, social re-
lations, class distinctions had be-
come SO .antiquated that they had
to be reformed or abolished.
, Every one knew that Britain's
basic industry, coal mining, was
hopelessly inefficient, that the edu-
cational system was in need Of
more equipment, more teachers and
longer terms, that the distribution
of electrical power was too costly
and too muddled and that some
thing should be done about these
and a host of other problems.
Something is being done about, it
now. Right or wrong, the labor
government is speeding up its
socialization program and simulta-
neously dealing with related affairs.

Thus, the authorities have given

tive which forbade any restricted

In nonrestricted flrm-unless
soap approved the transaction.
These moves completed the plan
for dissolution of the Zaibatsu hold
ing companies, leaving them hand
cuffed and unable to move in any
financial direction without soap
permission.
The Recommendation plan fol-
lowed. soap ruled any company
which was subsidiary of a re-
stricted firm-in which the latter
had owned up to 10 per cent-or any
affiliate of a restricted concern
any company Of previously named
subsidiary in which the subsidiary
owned up to 10 per cent of the
lholdings-could not hold corporate
shares either in another subsidiary
or affiliate. soap also outlawed
existing interlocking directorates
and intercompany agreements in
restraint Of trade
The plan further restricted finan-
cial concerns from holding more
than 10 per cent control in any COM
pany. This broke the zaibatsu
chain through which money had
flowed from the parent company peg
down through the links to the sub
sidiaries and affiliates.
Controlled Production.
Maj. Cooper believes the anti-Zai-
batsu plan now is completed but its
execution is yet to be effected. Z"
Within. 80 days we will have
sheared the Zaibatsu of the assets
which gave them controlling power
over operating sections of the Japa-
nese economy below them," he de-
clared. t.r
That controlling power bulked
large. Some soap officials estimate
zaibatsu firms controlled and di-
rected 10 per cent of the entire
japanese productive capacity. These
same sources place total zaibatsu
corporate wealth at between zoe, ,000,-
600 900 and 40O, ,oOO, ,Oo0,0 yen.
Japanese were shaken to their f.
nancial roots at the scope of the
zaibatsu measures, but Maj. Cooper
thinks the results will be beneficial.
Everything We do contributes to
the rehabilitation, reconstruction
and reconversion of Japan's economy
to the peacetime levels permitted
under terms of the Potsdam agree

millions of Americans can be saved
from cancer deaths if more money

public about cancer and expand

means of curing and preventing
cancer It now has laid down this
policy:
/. Federal action on a scale much
larger than heretofore is greatly

2. Increased Federal support is
necessary mot only for research

States and local communities in ap-

a new organization that might be
created outside Government.
These policies were made by the
