INDONESIA:
U.N. Looks

It was a matter of regret, the
Dutch government said, that the
matter of the Dutch Indonesian
fracas was being brought before the
United Nations security council.
To few million other observers,
it was not so much a matter of
regret as it was surprise. U. NJ,
it seemed, was even then overdue
in its action.
Australia and India laid the prob
lem before the council, where it
Immediately began to vie with the
Balkan issue for priority of debate.
Although the Australian and In
dian delegations told the council
that the strife between Dutch and
Indonesian forces threatened world
peace, Dutch spokesman in Wash
ington said U. N. had no juris-
diction.
Netherlands authorities insist on
terming the struggle Dutch ''po-
lice action" designed to control re-
bellious Indonesians who hate to
wait until 1949 to attain their inde-
pendence as a sovereign state. The
Indonesians, however, say that the
Dutch are waging colonial war
and that it looks like imperialism
to them.

sonnel and other expenses will be
absorbed in Washington and state
offices, allowing local AAA Offices
to retain most of their present staff.
A farmer may sign up for any
number of approved projects, but
he is promised only a certain
amount of money with the provision
that he will get additional payments
if any funds remain after all farm
ers have been paid their minimum
guarantees.
The program will be cut drastic

WASHINGTON. Extensive oper-
ations of the AAA soil conservation
program were ordered resumed by
the department of agriculture after
congress finally approved 255 mil
lion dollar administrative fund for
the setup. Administrative expenses
are in addition to the 265 million
dollars which will go directly for
payments to farmers participating
in soil-saving practices.
Inaugurated in early days Of the
New Year, the AAA program offers
cash and materials, principally
lime and fertilizers, to farmers for
carrying out approved soil and
water conservation practices. Local
details Of the program are carried

The program was halted in May
when the house voted to appropri-
ate only 165 million dollars for the
setup this year and to end it alto
gether next year. The AAA had
worked out 300 million dollar pro-
gram and President Truman had
recommended that amount in his
budget to congress.
Although the 255 million finally
voted by congress is lower than the
sum asked. the soil program is be-
ing resumed on the same basis as
originally planned. The appropria-
ton for administrative expenses is

DEATH ROAD:
Safety Report

Compared with 1916, death is TAX
ing back seat on the nations high
ways this year, the semi-annual re-
port of the National Safety council
has shown.
For the first six months of 1s47
the cross-country death toll stood
at IA, 480. That figure is 9 per cent
below the 1880 fatalities recorded
for the same period last year. At
the same time, travel was II per
cent heavier this year.
According to the safety councils
report, 2,490 lives were lost during
June, which represents per cent
increase over the June, 1916, rec
ord. In view of the increased traffic,
however, it was marked improve
ment.
Even the larger cities in the ma
ton were decreasing their traffic
fatalities. New York whitfield its
deaths by Is per cent and Los An
geles by 16 per cent. Jacksonville,
Fla. was tops on the record book
with SO per cent decrease from
1916. Indication was that cities were
becoming more traffic conscious.

Even in the case of Great Brlt-
aims very mild revolution, which
was the result of popular vote and a
free choice, the traditional po-
litical and intellectual leaders were
swept out of office.
Americans are committed to
the idea that the majority
should rule and the theory al
ways has been that the people
would be wise enough to select
a person of sufficient intelli-
gence, experience and integrity
to represent them at the job of
ruling.
Of late, however, a number OF
persons approaching the problem
from quite different angles, have
expressed concern about the educa-
tion and training of the men avail
able for the responsibility of car
rying on the business of govern
ment.
I have been assured by old-timers
here who have been familiar with
the personnel of congress over a
number of years that we perhaps
have as high type of men, mentally
and morally, in. congress today as
we have ever had. In fact, / am
told they are making excellent use
of the greatly expanded sources of
information on the issues they have
to consider and are, therefore, bet
ter informed than any congress has
ever been.
Nevertheless, we hear from edu-
Gators, from economists and statis-
ticians, all sorts of dire warnings.
One that has recently stirred up
the press considerably was by Guy
Irving Burch, head Of the popula-
tion reference bureau. It seems
Burch read a survey made in Eng
land by Sir Cyril Burt at the re-
quest of the royal commission on
population.
SAs a result of his survey, Sir
Cyril suggests that in so years the
number of students of scholarship
ability in Britain will be approx
mately halved and the number of
feeble-minded almost doubled. This
conclusion was based on psyche

Bell thinks that what we do not

imparting to them what they ought
to know rather than teach them
what they would like to study; Sec

write, listen to and speak the
English language; third, they must
be taught decent manners, the
rights of others; fourth, they must
learn that honest and craftsmanlike
achievement is the only door to So
cial approval; fifth, teachers
must inspire reverence for the un-
seen and impart some objective
knowledge of what the various faiths

The canon isn't snobbish. He Is

ciety he takes his share of the blame
by saying that society has played

Montgomery returned to Great

4. officials, no longer able to stave
off frank admission, told the
world that England's plight was
desperate, that the tight little isle
was on the sharp brink of ruin.
Prime Minister Clement Attlee, as
sailed with charges of ''bungling"
and "failure to act," nevertheless
was given vote of confidence when
he sketched out plan which would
have British miners work an extra
hour each day to increase England's
coal production, key pillar in its
economic structure.
The British crisis was born out
of four factors: Shortage of Amer

have been used up by Christmas); !;
shortage of coal (not enough to per-
NIT industries to operate and re-
build stockpiles); shortage Of man.
power, and imitation.
, Morally weakened under the
-. threat Of domestic political and
economic crises, the London stock
market broke swiftly, as sharp sell
ing hit all sections.
And, although U. S. state depart
ment observers scoffed at the idea
that developments in England had
produced a reaction over here, it
appeared to be something more
than coincidence that:
A Shortly after London stocks

of nine to nine and one-fourth cents
bushel, while corn and oats
dropped of from three to four cents.
Industrial stocks also receded some

At the same time, it became ap-
parent that the U. S. government,
faced with high prices Of grain and
food and continued shortages
abroad, would issue call for an
other big wheat crop this year in
stead of reducing wheat production
goals as was planned previously.
AS the picture began to take
shape, the dominating motif ap-
peared to be economic insecurity.

Nation of DuLldrds
Seen in Future

Burch has studied population sta
tistics for the United States from
the standpoint of psychological
tests, educational attainment, eco
nomic status and type Of occupa-
ton. He says: 1--WE may reach the
general conclusion that the lowest
third of our people in each one of
these four categories has families
about twice as large as those of
the highest third"
And he concludes:
"As a voting participant in
helping to solve the many in
tricate problems of our complex
civilization a dull and backward
individual is almost as helpless
as an idiot. In fact, he may
be more dangerous to democrat
ic institutions because he is
easily commanded by dema-
gOgues and dictatOrs."
This gives us quite different pic
ture of the century of the common
man."
DR.. Francis Brown, staff associ-
ate of the American Council on
Education and the executive secre-
tary of the Presidents commission,
doesn't quarrel with Burch's figures
but he says: This population-intel-
ligence report does not give enough
importance to the possibility of i'm
proving intelligence by education. "
In other words. if we broaden the
base of our teaching we can regain
q lot of the potential waste ma
terial that Burch has discovered.
What the Burch report over
looks is this, says DIR. Brown,
''human intelligence never has
been developed to its fullest
among the great masses Of peo-,
! ple. No way has been found
I accurately to measure the ul-
innate capabilities of the human
mind"

Earnings Level

WASHINGTON, D. C-Average.
weekly earnings of $49.1 for pro-

factories showed practically no
change between July and August.
These figures were made available
here by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, of the u. S. Department of
Labor.
The workweek of 1913 hours also
remained at the July level, while
average hourly earnings of $1.23
represented an increase of less
than one percent.
These figures indicated a level
ing off in both weekly and hourly
manufacturing earnings since
June.
Continued price advances caused
some downturn in "reaP' weekly
earnings of manufacturing workers
expressed in terms of 1889 dollars.
Weekly earnings in the durable
goods industries as a whole gained
only slightly in August as average
hourly earnings increased by or
cents. The workweek continued at
the reduced July level of 40 hours.
In the blast furnaces, steel works,
and rolling mills industry, weekly
hours increased over July, reflect
ing greater availability of coal. In
contrast, most other components

ported decreased weekly earnings
