u. S. Senator MakesCharge
 Against Brii.
Declares Nation Is "Using Our Own Loans
 Against Us"

WASHINGTON, May 27-tR- Senator OMahoney tD-Wyo) con- tends that Great Britain is using our own loans against us" in a battle for world trade centering around such products as wool and cotton.
 The Wyoming Senator, who voted for the s3,75O,oOO,0oo British loan when it was approved by Congress d year ago, told a reporter he re- gards recent action by the British Parliament as putting an end to private cotton trading.
 (Parliament earlier this month passed a b.li banning private inn portation of cotton and closing the Liverpool cotton exchange. The bill provides for a government commis- sion to buy the fiber in bulk lots as was done during the war Eng land also maintains controls over wool transactions)
 We are up against a wall of state monopo!ies in the sale of wool and cotton and any international trade agreement is doomed to fail ure until we succeed in getting Great Britain and Russia to agree to a private trading system again, OMahoney declared, adding:
 "The British are using our owr loans to finance these operations The Russians are doing the same thing in the way of operating state monopolies.'

Following Old Trails
(Cinclnnati Enquirerl

Travel and transport have tendency to follow old trails This is true in part of the world from ancient China modern Western United States. The newest of roads in the Far East parallel routes used centuries also by plodding caravans. Railroads in our Western States still east and west as did the original prairie wagon tracks. It is most df- ficult for a traveller to go by train, from Billings, Mont. to Denver Colo. for instance. The two places are much farther apart than the airline miles which separate them.
 In his recent book Inside America" John Gunther remarks on the fact that North and South Dakota, although borders touch comparative strangers The bulk of commerce which passed thorugh heads either east west Seattle, Wash seems nearer Bis mark than Mobridge s.

DEWEY'S CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED

COP. Representative Frederic R. Coudert of New York certainly had his tongue in his cheek when he glibly told reporters that the big dinner he threw for Gov. Dew ey was nothing more than a friendly" testimonial with no ac- cent on politics.
 Here is what actually happened. First the guest list-about 100 Re- publican House members and one Senator, Irving Ives of New York was carefully culled from among the members Of Congress who are either friendly to Dewey's presi- dental campaign or 'on the fence" Great majority Of the ban queters were from eastern and New England states.
 Second, Senator Ives. red hot Dewey man, was one ot the three speakers, the others being House COP Ma jority Leader Charles Hal leck of Indiana and Dewey him. self House Speaker Joe Martin, though present, did not speak. Coudert acted as toastmaSter.
 Ivesc, who was put in the Senate by Dewey and has turned out to be all Al choice, made 1t clear that he was out to win support for Governor Tom He also drove home some hammer blows for par ty solidarity in the coming cam solidarity, which. he left no doubt. could be attained by backing the guest of honor
 "A political race is like a horse race" Ives asserted at one point in his rousing address You can't win without unsnimity"
 The New York Senator let his listeners guess that Dewey was unquestionably the right horse" for l948.
 Dewey. when called upon to speak, also stressed the ''unani- mity' theme He illustrated 1t by telling about his meetings with COP leaders in the New York Legislature every Sunday night

DEWEY SLAPS MARSHALL

With this as an opener, the New York Governor proceeded to get Tn some hot licks against the ad- ministration's handling of foreign aid-particularly the omission ot China from the S597 100000 in terim relief bill now before Con- gress. In fact, Dewey so empha- sized China that some speculated as to how great the Chinese vote is in New York City.
 Citing Chinas history of friend ship" with the United States, Dewey declared that 1t was in- conceivable that China should be lelt out of the aid plan unless you considered the "incompetency' of the officials directing the aid program. While he did not men tion Secretary of State Marshall by name, his jabs obviously were aimed at Marshall.
 Dewey explained that his re- marks did not necessarily mean that the supported the Chiang Kai-shek Nationalist government, but rather the Chinese people.
 T have a deep and abiding faith in them fthe Chinese people," he asserted. If we thing in terms of united world, it can't be done without China"
