tance at this time"
Meanwhile, U. N. secretariat Off
cials considered the possibility of
constituting a special 55-nation
committee on Palestine to deal with
the problem after the Assembly con-
venes in New York September 16.
This was a move to give priority
to the Holy Land dispute by taking
it out of the category of problems
before the regular 55-nation Polit-
ical Committee.
A British spokesman, expressing
disapproval of proposals for the in
terim administration of Palestine,
said Britain alone could not be re-
sponsible for supervising the Holy
Land during the interim period be-
fore actual independence.
Economic Aid Needed.
Some sources said success of the
partition scheme appeared to de-
pend almost entirely on American
willingness to provide economic aid
and in all probability partial mill
tary assistance as weu-to support
a divided Holy Land. e
They. said even if Britain did not
call on the United States for as
sistance, the Assembly might 20 SO
far as TO press the United states
into helping administer Palestine.
The British spokesman said his
delegation was still awaiting official
instructions from the London gov
ernment. He made 1t clear, how
ever, that Britain was primarily
concerned with the implementation
Of the partition plan, ''r,.a> .,,, .tt, $500

Thus far the United States has
not made known the position it. will
take on the issue.
Some delegates believed that the
U. N. Special Committee on Pales-
tine had the United States in mind
when 1t specified that the Assembly
name one or more nations to assist
Britain in the Holy Land during the
two-year interim period before in
dependence.
Just how long the United States
will remain silent on the stand she
will take in the Assembly was a mat
ter of conjecture. But most dele
gates said there did not seem to be
any way for the United States to re-
main out of the fight.
Most delegates agreed that the
United States Is on the spot, since
she does not want to antagonize
either the Arabs or the Jews.

Bulgaria
Continued From First Paee.) 81

OF the manner In which the elections
of October 27, 1916, for constituent
assembly were conducted, the Faith
erland Front government was
obliged to concede that Mr.. Petkovs
adherents had polled over 100000
votes, or some % per cent Of the
total
For reasons we'll known to the
Soviet government. the Moscow
agreement was. not implemented.
On the contrary, the Fatherland
Front inaugurated a campaign OF
terrorization and intimidation
against the Bulgarian opposition
with the obvious aim Of attaining
its dissolution.
This campaign has resulted In
the scandalous trial, conviction and
sentence to death of Mr.. Petkov and
In the abolition Of the Agrarian
Party by parliamentary decree OF
August 26 as we'll as in various other
repressive measures against Agra
rian leaders.
Cannot Accept Soviet Position.
"The United States Government
cannot accept the position taken by
the Soviet government in your note
under acknowledgement. The Pet
kov case, involving the leader OF the
principal opposition party, obviously
vitally affects the existence OF rep
resentative government in Bulgaria.
Thus it is clearly within the
purview of the Yalta agreement IN
which the establishment of such a
government was declared to be OF
concern to the three powers and
warrants a review by them.
THE contention that the matter
Is of purely internal Bulgarian
concern cannot relieve the Yalta
powers from their commitment to
concert their policies in regard to
: developments of this nature. AS Tor
Bulgarian sovereignty, it may be re-
marked that Bulgaria is still under
armistice control.
Concerted Policy Urged.
THE Soviet attitude, therefore
violates Soviet obligations assumed
Mt Yalta and Is q negation of the
rights of the United States as q
signatory to the Bulgarian armis-
tice.
The Bulgarian parliamentary
action in abolishing the Agrarian
Union, which constitutes the latest
development in the repressive CAM
paign against the rights and liber-
ties of members Of that party, has
removed from parliamentary par
ticipation the last of the 80 deputies
elected by the Agrarians to that
body.
Parliamentary opposition to the
government Fatherland Front bloc
now consists of eight deputies OF
the opposition Social Democratic
Party in a chamber of which the
total membership numbers 465. Any
pretense that such a situation Il
consistent with the conduct OF rep
resentative government in Bulgarls
Is manifestly preposterous.
Accordingly, pursuant to its Yalts
obligations, the United States Gov
ernment requests that in addition
to reviewing the Petkov case, the
U. S. S. r., United Kingdom 'ane
United States also consult with
view to reaching a concert of pol.

cause we have not the production
or the resources to carry it out" he
said.
Refers to Treaty Talk.
Speaking of forthcoming talks on
a peace treaty for Japan, the For
eign Secretary said the Common
wealth Conference held in Canberra
was not a ganging-up for the nego-
tiations.
I'VE shall now proceed, soon
hope, to a conference to establish
peace treaty for Japan and to in
augurate a new era in that terri
tory, free from fear and strife" he
said.
"A great proportion of the United
Nations is doing vel" Mr.. Bevin de-
clared. The Security Council is
the most disappointing part of it
all. It has become largely q

with the things on the facts. Dts
agreements are too many. Vetoes are
being used absolutely stupidity. All
this antagonism is going on. Will
1t last? Maybe the peace with Japan
will show.
Greater than the peace confer
ence will be the. conference in No

it Is almost the last chance-almost
the last-of seeing whether we can
get the economic unity of Germany

Britain's workers last night that

they must combat the economic
crisis by accepting drastic measures

the shortage Of materials and their
costs, the availability Of housing
loans, especially to war veterans,

How Deeply Hos
Communism Pene-
troted Army, Novy?
nv CharIes d. Rowe

It's rather difficult to become
very greatly alarmed as one lives
among the always wonderful miracle
of spring these beautiful May days.
Nevertheless there was something
to set one to serious thinking in the
May day parade in New York City.
According to J. Parnell Thomas,
member of the national house of
representatives from New Jersey
and chairman of the house com
mittee on un-American activities,
Thomas states that officers and en-
listed men of the u. S. army and
navy marched in the parade under
the banner of the Communist party.
1t appears that the committee had
agents watching the parade and
photographers taking pictures of it,
some of them so close to the mar
cheers that faces can be identified.
Thomas stated his agents reported
that "one platoon of approximately
80 officers of the various branches
of our services marched in the
parade under the banner of the
Communist party of the United
States. The agents also reported
that approximately 1900 men in the
uniform of the American soldier
marched under the same banner.
Thomas further said, Il am sure
you will agree with me the Com
munist party in the United States
is in fact the agent of a foreign
power, and that the allegiance of
its members and officers rests not
with the United States but with
the Soviet union There is ample
evidence before the committee to
establish the fact"
Thomas offered to supply the
secretary of war with movie and
still pictures which committee
agents took of the parade
1t has long been claimed that
the reasonable Communistic doc
trine has been infiltrating into tee
United States armed forces. Judg.
mG from what took place in the
New York May day parade, that
infiltratiOn has progressed much too
far And to see officers and en-
listed men of our own army under
the banner of Communism is a

and then read statements to the
effect that the human animal of
today is considerably superior ply
sically to his ancestors.
We sometimes wonder. Not long
ago we stood on a busy corner in
large western city and watched
the ceaseless crowds passing hither
and yon. And the thought came
to us that by and large the examples
of humankind seen were nothing to
be proud of.
Few of the men or women pas
sing US could boast of much in the
way of beauty or physical develop
ment. Too many of them were
either too fat or too lean, hollow
chested and stoop shouldered, with
poor compilations. Few of them
would have been chosen with which
to breed a superior race.
AS we stood there the thought
came to us that while we may be
improving the human physical ami
NAL, science has a long way yet
to 60 in that direction. We can
produce livestock of the finest types
through careful breeding, but pro-
duction and perpetuation of the hui
man race is d hit and miss affair
It's too bad more do not follow
the teachings of eugenics in choos-
ing mates.
AS we stood on that busy city
corner, the thought also came to
US that the young people of our
little old home town had the city
people badly outclassed both in
physical beauty and bodily develop
ment.
The road is strewn with motor cars,
and folks would like to know
Why dangers stare us in the face
where'er we chance to 60.
Investigations come galore, COM
mittees probe the cause;
Men check the car, its bolts and
brakes, and scan the motor laws.
They search the reasons, buried
deep. but in the end reveal
That accidents are mostly caused
by the nut that holds the wheel.
