Irish I'm America Owe Aid to Negroes Says Priest-Editor

New York-"I think of nc group that has stronger reas ons for extending sympathy and aid to the Negro in Amer ica than those of Irish birtl or descent," the Rev. Charle. Keenan, S.J., a native of Ire land and managing editor o1 America, told the members ano friends of Catholic Interracia Council at the Councils Com munion Breakfast on Marcl 18th.
 Rev. Basil Matthews, O.S.B. well-known Negro priest o1 Fordham University, also was a speaker.
 Father Keenan reviewed ir brief the history of Ireland < fight for freedom and noted that "the tremendous advances made in two generations by the Negro in America indi cates ''the presence among them of the same love of free. dom and the same determinA tion to achieve it that charac. terize the Irish. ; "And nc one can doubt that the out. come will be equally success ful," he said.
 Declaring that the Irish in America would be untrue to their traditions if they were to be indifferent to the struggles "of their Negro fellow citi- zens', Father Keenan pointed out that the person who values freedom will be jealous of any encroachment on the human rights of his brethren.
 Daniel O'Connell, whom Ireland halls as one of its great liberators, showed that he un- derstood this when he welcom- ed the Negro leader Frederick Douglass to Ireland; and when he refused a subsidy for his campaign for Irish freedom that was offered by certain Southerners who were known for their opposition to the rights of the Negro, the speaker said.
 As a second reason why the Irish in America should be es- pecially interested in the cause of the Negro, Father Keenan recalled that ''the Irish owe a debt of gratitude for opening to them the opportunities and ways of life and offering to them a freedom denied to them in their homeland. '
 "How better can we repay than by bending every effort to strengthen and preserve that American democracy which has so endeared us to our adopted country?'', he

distillers. but it is only one-tenth of the goa!
set for American saving in the present con-
servation drive.
It is not our intention to lake a by-patn
into the question of prohibition or the rights
or wrongs of alcoholic beverages, beyond re-
calling that the distilling industry is a legltl-
mate one, legalized by the majority WILL
which enacted the 21st amendment to the
Constitution. Our point is that the o's-
+i1,erv shutdown is a narrow and speclallzeo
attack upon a broad problem.
The eo-day closing will not work any par
~tic,lar hardship on the proprietors Oh 1hese
distilleries. But it will work a hardship upon
the families of the 10000 workers. par'lco-
larlv with food costs at their present levels
Thus far, voluntary food saving ana tne
c,osine of the distilleries are the only IN
etr,,ments of conservation which have oeen
brought into use. There is every reason ior
all Of us to observe this voluntary 1ooo
savine-it not as a penance of THANKSGIVING
then as a means of stretching our Inflated
dollars. There might even be a reason ioi
r,,ttine 10000 out of work if somethlne
commensurate were done in other fields.

No Common Ground

Representative Garfield of New Jersey
voices a belief that President Truman and
Joseph Stain, the Russian premier, mlgh1
smooth the way to peace and understanding
if they could get together in a "face to face
shoulder to shoulder" talk.
Mr.. Garfield is more optimistic than real
istic. The fact is that Premier Stain is not
the top man in the Soviet Union, despite MS
title. The boss in Russia is Foreign Minister
IMolotov, and Mr.. Molotov's obsession IS
communlzed world.
In all of his public ~utterances, Premier
Stain merely gives voice to the principles
and ideas written or dictated by Mr.. Molo-
TOW. Furthermore, the communists of Rus
STA are so bitterly opposed to the existence
of a capitalistic world that any personal ne
Igotiations between the UAted States Presi.

Protect The Shore

These recent winds which were on the
rim of hurricanes did no irreparable dam
age to our coastal resort area. But they gave
unmistakable warning of what could happen
if winds closer to the center of disturbance
should sweep our shore.
It would be wise, we believe, for our
county authorities, with the benefit and aid
of the Army engineers and the State Of
North Carolina, to draft a comprehensive
program for coastal protection, which neces-
sarily would have to include seawalls ano
%jetties.
The Star has long advocated an e%splanade
along the shore. Could there be a better time
to start such a project?
TIL idea is that by constructing an ade-
quate seawall and necessary %jetties the high
tides and laundering waves accompanying
tropical storms would be less menacing and
that a broad paved drive along the seawall
would vastly enhance property values and
attract new wealth for investment in coastal
dwellings.
Of course the project would cost millions.
On the other hand the millions thus invested
might prevent the loss of equal or more
millions if nothing is done to protect the
shoreline.

If the nation takes seriously
to the conservation of food in
order to feed hungry Europe
this Winter, some good
old Southern recipes may be-
come fashionable in homes
which thus far have known them
only vaguely, by reputation.
At least that's what hopeful
members of the American Diete-
tic Association, in convention as
sembled at Philadelphia, have
told inquiring reporters.
Florida "hush puppies" and
Hopping john from the Lone
Star State, are mentioned
among Dixie comestibles which,
they say, could lu1 the nations
palates away from the fleshpots
of Egypt.
A Florida State University
dietician put in a good word for
black : eyed peas and turnip
greens, popular anywhere below
the MASON = DIXON Line. She
says the combination lean be
served to a family of four in
New York City for Is cents"
and that it contains as much
nutrition value as "a plate of
bacon and eggs"

Inadequate Planning

New York. Chicago, Atlanta, Milwaukee
and Omaha bakers announce their intention
to boost the price of bread from one to two
cents a loaf. AS in all similar cases, the
bakers of other cities doubtless WILL &c
the same thing.
The reason given is the soaring prices OF
grain. AT about the same time bakers oe'
eide to make their contribution to the ao-
vancing cost of living comes word that d
half-million bushels of wheat is on the POM
of spelling in Kansas because freight cars
are not available to move it.
Perhaps there is no truer example OF the
unbalance of American economics than tais"
The price of grain goes up not only oecauSe
large quantities are sent abroad to relieve
the suffering of war-ravaged countries, ou1
also because we are unable to meet trans
portation needs at home.
And these transportation needs are made
ouate, not only because the railroads per-
formed a service during the war far above
the normal capacity of their rolling stock
but also because of the need for war equip
ment the manufacture of new rolling stock
and the reconditioning of old was necessarily
suspended, and because of the steel short
age has not yet been resumed on anything
like the scale it ought to be.
Because we have not worked out a syste-
matte economic schedule the price of breao
is to advance. A shortage of twenty thou
sand freight cars would seem to be at the
root of the trouble, but it is deeper thar
that. The real cause is u failure to plan
adequately for foreseeable postwar require
ments.

Backing Into The Problem

Hungarian workers in England are now
engaged in dismantling one of the country's
most up to-date textile factories, piece by
piece, for shipment to Budapest. The mill
was shut down in 1941, and it has been i'm
possible to reopen it because of a manpower
shortage.
At the same time, British distilleries are
going full blast, and the distilling industry
there has announced that it intends to step
up rather than decrease it's production. Not
long ago the British government allocated
to that industry $4,000 tons of cereal grains
or more than $500, 900 bushels.
The reason for this distilling activity. Of
course, is a shortage of dollars. Scotch whis-
ky is a valuable export commodity. and q
ready source of dollars. But British textiles
are also valued on the world market. Fur
thermore, the United Kingdom is suffering
from a shortage of food and clothing, as well
as of dollars.
Yet the British government has seen fiji
tc remove $4,000 tons of edible grains from
British tables for the balance of 1947. It has
also seen fit to dispense with a modern fac.
tory which might have turned cut goods tina
could be sold for dollars without further re.
ducing the British diet.
Meanwhile, in this country, the distilline
industry is preparing for a 60-day shutdown
which will put some 10000 persons out O.
work. The object is to save TO- 900, 900 bushels
of grain. This is nearly four times the
Inount recently allocated to the British

The Truth At Last

Al the time Henry Wallace made his Maol-
son Square Garden speech, which all but
wrecked the United States foreign policy,
the White House denied that Secretary OF
State Byrnes, then in Paris attending the
neace conference, offered his resignation TO
president Truman. Correspondents ana
Washington newspapermen were convinced
that the denial and not the reports OF MT
Byrnes' resignation were untrue.
Now Mr.. Brynes confirms their view. IN
his book, speaking Frankly" which is re-
ceiving such widespread attention, he in
cludes a teletype message to President Iru-
man when word of the Wallace speech
reached him. The message reads:
"If it is not completely clear In your
mind that Mr.. Wallace should be asked to
refrain from criticizing the foreign policy OF
the United States while he is a member OF
YOUR Cabinet, I must ask you to accept my
resignation Immediately. At this cfl1lcal
time. whoever is Secretary OF State must
he known to have the undivided support OIL
vo,1r Administration and, so far as possible
of the Congress-.
It would appear that even with TINS
frank declaration from his Secretary Oh
State Mr.. Truman did not recognize the
notentialities of the situation Mr.. wallace
had created. For in a second message NIL
Byrnes declared:
"When the Administration is itself dlVloeo
On its own foreign policy, it cannot hope 10
convince the world that the American people
have a foreign policy.
"When the representatives OF other govern
ments know that as soon as the conference
;s over. we will again have conflicting state
ments made by your Secretary OF State ana
YOUR Secretary of Commerce, your delega-
ton here cannot contribute much to the max
inc of the peace. AS a matter OF tact, since
these attacks upon us by a member OF tne
Cabinet, our efforts have been greatly hanol-
capped"
It was not until he received this message
that President Truman forth with dismissed
Mr.. Wallace from the Cabinet.
This book of Mr.. Byrnes will prove more
and more valuable as the historians seek

vestment is not to be Ruthless.
Therefore, the signs are here in
Athens that MacVeach and
Chamberlin will recommend
American assumption of a
third, really crucial responsible
ity in Greece-the responsibility
for advising the Greek army on
the actual conduct of its opera
tions against the Communist
guerrillas.
The Greek government has
taken the initiative in request
ing this further assistance, and
has indicated willingness . at
tach a very special weight to
American military advice" If
plans laid here 60 through, the
Griswpld mission will be sup
plemented with an American
military operational staff. The
staff group will be composed of
a top echelon to work with the
Greek general staff, skeleton
staffs to- be attached to each of
the Greek army crops, and op-
irrational liaison units to work
on the brigade and battalion
levels.
