ARGENTINA:
High Bid

Argentina, one of the unknown
quantities in South America, has
hemisphere ambitions.
That fact was demonstrated rath-
er satisfactorily at the international
trade conference in Havana, Cuba,
when the nation announced that she
has offered five billion dollars in
long-term credits to deserving"
Latin American countries.
The scheme, described as a MAR
shall plan" for the Western Henri
sphere, was interpreted as Argen-
tina's bid for economic supremacy
in the Americas.
Diego Luis Molinari, chief Argen-
tine delegate to the conference in
Havana, who made the announce
ment of the loan offer, also urged
an immediate international none
tary conference. to which non-United
Nations members would be invited.
He heaped criticism upon the
U. S. for its possession of the ma
jority of the worlds gold and de-
clared with some rancor, "There is
no such thing as the Big Four
Everybody is equal"

Army Gets Mechanical Cow
Makes Better Milk Substitute

WASHINGTON. - The army came
up with a mechanical cow to make
a better substitute for fresh milk for
overseas troops.
The army said it had found a
method mechanically to recombine
powdered milk with butter, oil and
water.
The advantages, the army said,
are that the dry ingredients may
be shipped to such places as Guam,
Okinawa and Korea, where fresh
milk is hard to get, and may be
stored there for long periods until
mixed.
The new milk beverage is "high-
ly acceptable" the army said, and
resembles fresh milk more than any
previous connection. Lack of fresh
milk is one of the biggest gripes of
soldiers stationed in the Pacific.

We Still Travel to Grandmother on Christmas

Many families are making "split
trips"-the children going unes-
corted aboard flights from their
home to the destination airport,
where they are met by their grand
parents. Mother and father follow
later after completing various tasks
essential to a complete Christmas.
ITO grandmother's house for
Christmas. :" goes the old song.
And this year throughout the ma
ton the trip is being made by the
modern mode of air transportation.

THE SQUEEZE:
For Arms

Ever since the U. N. action which
partitioned Palestine into Arab and
Jewish states and the subsequent
outbreak of hostilities between the
two groups, top U. S. officials have
been hoping against hope that this
country would not be called upon by
the Jews to contribute arms and
funds to help them fight the Arabs.
Everyone agreed, however, that
such a request was virtually inevi-
table, and when Moshe Shertok,
head of the Zionist political depart
ment, arrived in Washington to lay
his case before U. S. authorities it
was apparent that the nation faced
a major crisis on it's Palestine
policy.
AS one state department member
put it, administration officials fear
that they will be damned if they
do and damned if they don't" agree
to Zionists requests.
Zionists believe the U. S. can and
should act on it's own initiative and
help the Palestine Jews without
waiting to act through the U. N.
They say the Jews are seeking to
uphold the U. N. decision on parti-
ton while the Arabs are attempting
to nullify it.
America, according to the Zionist
view, has a twofold obligation to
help the Jews-frst, as a member
of the U. NJ, and second, as the
leading advocate of partition.
Well aware of the moral issues
involved, U. S. leaders nevertheless
fear that if America intervenes in
the Palestine strife Russia is almost
sure to make an appearance On the
scene also. From such a situation
could arise the most dangerous kind
of complications with both Russia
and the Arabs.
Unless the present trend alters
profoundly, circumstances in Pales-
tine will build up to a crisis which
will burst upon the world next sum-
mer when British troops withdraw
from the Holy Land. What the U. S.
position in the conflict will be prob
ably will have been made clear by |
that time, with the November cleo
tons playing a big part in forcing a
definite stand one way Dr. the other.

Tourist Increase in Sweden

STOCKHOLM. - Never before
has Sweden received as many
foreign tourists as during the season
just past, according to DR.. Gustaf
Munthe, head of the Swedish Tour
list Traffic association.
Compared with 1888, the last sum-
mer of peace, the number of Ameri-
cans was three times as great, or in
all some 40, GOO. There were 10 times
as many from Norway. British tour
lists numbered between 10000 and
35, 10000, which is some 10000 to 49,
900 more than before the war.

DISUNITY:
Big -Four Fail

The lethargic, u%ninSpired ending
of the Big Four foreign ministers
conference in London was reminis-
cent of nothing so much as the
rather dreary business of tossing
out the Christmas tree after the
holidays.
There was a small amount of nos
talgia and regret expressed over the
abrupt finish of the unsuccessful dis
cussions, but there was also a thinly
yelled feeling that perhaps, after
all, it was a good thing the affair
was over. e.
AS seen dimly through clouds of
futility and illustration, what the
wind-up of the German and Aus
trian peace treaty talks amounted
to was this: The western powers
had failed utterly to reach any kind
of agreement with Russia on the
fate of Germany, and the failure
leaves Europe more firmly divided
than at any time since the war
ended.
Although the delegates were I'M
able to agree on any single issue on
their agenda, the point upon which
the conference balloon burst was
the problem of German PREPARATIONS.
To the inevitable question, "What
now?" diplomatic authorities were
answering with a prediction that the
United States, Great Britain and
France would begin negotiations
soon among themselves concerning
the unification of western Germany.
Russia would be out of it, and there
was no prospect of another four
power meeting in 1948 OF in any
other year.

TRAINING:
In Driving

If a training course in automobile
driving were made a requirement
in the curriculum of every high
school traffic deaths could be re-
duced by 5000 to 10000 a year, ac-
cording to DR.. Wayne Hughes, direc-
tor of National Safety councils col
lege and school division.
A safety council survey made
among Cleveland high schools be-
tween 1889 and 1941 showed that eff
fectual driver training reduced traf-
fc accidents by so per cent, the
council said.
at is our firm belief that if ev-
cry high school in the nation would
put into effect such a course we
would see miracles within five
years." DR.. Hughes asserted.
Officials pointed out that statistics
for 1916 proved that mile for mile
the 1924 age groupwas a third more
dangerous behind the wheel than
any other comparable segment of
the population. That group account
ed for 1873 per cent of the nations
fatalities in 1916.
At present only 10 per cent of the
Us, 900 high schools in the U. S. have
what the council regards as ade-
quate driver training courses. And
only a part of the schools conduct
ing such courses have actual auto
mobiles in operation.

KOREAN FATE:
Partition

Destiny of Korea, that almost for
gotten country, may be decided by
the U. N. early in 1948, and that
decision may involve a now rather
ominous-sounding procedure - par
tition.
A U. N. commission is expected
to ask Russia to help carry out a
U. N. decision calling for country
wide elections leading to establish
ment of an independent Korean gov
eminent. If the Soviet answer is no
and Andrei Vishinsky, Russian
delegate, previously had indicated
his country would, not cooperate
the alternative could be a course
leading to partition.
The Russians, firmly entrenched
as an occupying power in the north
ern half of Korea, are not expected
to sanction any elections or permit
U. N. observers to cross into Soviet
held territory. But the U. S., equally
firmly established in the south, has
sponsored Korean independence and
of course is ready to cooperate.
With the American-Russian split
dominating the situation, the U. NJ,
lacking Soviet approval of its plan,
will be faced with the decision ON
whether to proceed with the cleo
in the south only and estab->
fish a government there.
Such a step would be tantamount
to a partition of Korea. 1t would
leave the Russians alone in the north
to pull out their troops when and if
they pleased, after which they would
be free to establish a Communist
regime there.

CONGRESS-:
'StraU Man

Of the two pressing reasons why
President Truman called congress
into special session in November,
n had been disposed of but the
other kept hanging around like an
evil spirit as the year drew to a
close.
The senate and house had voted
strongly in favor of authorizing up
to 597 million dollars for emergency
winter relief for France, Italy, Aus
tria and China, but no such accord
was displayed in dealing with the
problem of imitation at home.
Rejecting President Truman's 10
point proposal for fighting initiation
by imposing wage and price con-
trolls and selective r~ationing, house
Republicans offered an anti-infation
bill based upon voluntary agree
ments for price reductions.
With a two-thirds vote needed for
passage, the Republican measure
house split almost exactly along
party lines over the bill, not one
Democrat breaking ranks to vote in
favor of it.
1.-THE President has asked for
bread and you have given him a
stone," said Rep. Brent Spence
(Dem., KY in summing up the de-
bate for the Democrats. Rep. A. S.
(Mike) Monroney (Dem., Okla.)
busted off another bromide when he
charged the COP majority with
"setting up a straw mar to combat
the menace of initiation"
That was the swan song for any
anti-infation legislation during the
special session. Although the senate
was preparing to act on the house
killed bill, there appeared to be
little likelihood that the Republicans
would be able to put through their
proposals.
Thrift Plan
Meanwhile, although congress
had given its approval to the propo-
sition that interim relief should be
rushed to Europe and China, the
emergency aid issue continued to
send forth echoes.
This time the struggle arose over
the actual bill to appropriate the
597 million dollars previously ap-
proved by congress. The house ap-
preparations committee, showing
the same cutting ways it had eX-
hibited earlier in the year toward
budget requests, knocked SO million
dollars off the original figure in pre-
pairing the bill for floor action.
Thus, the bill carried only 500 mil
ion for winter relief. The appro-
oriations committee, headed by
Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. W, said
The cut was represented by items
which would have been used by
France and Italy for payment of
interest on their foreign debts and
or making payments on CONNER
,ial accounts.
Aroused at the Republican dis
,lay of economy, Democrats Ia
,eIled the committees action as an
s~lndercover" attempt to hamstring
he aid program. They served no.
ice that they would attempt to re-
;tore the cut.
