surance that If these loans are not made,
war will remain aloof. Indeed, the
chances are far more favorable for the
outbreak Of war If Communist Russia
oyerruns these countries and gathers
them into her sphere Of influence"
Speaking OF communism, Mr.. Wal
lace said in one Of his English addresses
mo powerful idea-and communism is
a powerful idea-can be countered by
guns or money" He might have re-
dected, before he made this comment,
that another powerful idea"-fascism
in Italy-and its counterpart In Ger
many and Japan, have recently been
countered by both guns and money.
The Government of the United States
is seeking by the policy which Mr.. WAL
lace now denounces, to make it unneces-
sary to use guns and money to counter
the Communist threat. 1t is seeking
to rehabilitate Greece and to strengthen
Turkey, so that they may be able to
resist the armed Communist terrorists.
1t is apparently Mr.. Wallace's aim to
convince his hearers abroad that the
'25, ,000, 600" who voted for the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt in this country
are in line with the Wallace attitude
on foreign policy. Considering the fact
that the vast majority of the Democrats
IN both Houses Of Congress, many of
whom were ardent supporters of Mr.
Roosevelt, are supporting the Truman
foreign policy, this seems disingenuous
to say the least.
Mr.. Wallace was asked, in one of his
English meetings, if he intended to head
a new third political party in the
national elections here next year. He
replied he didn't think So He might
have said he knew well he would not
head such a party; that he would have
little or no following II he sought to
launch it. His value today in American
politics, except for a slight nuisance
value, is nil. He might, of course get
the backing OF the Communists in this
country.
Gael Sullivan, executive director Of
the Democratic National Committee,
was recently slapped on the wrist be-
cause he said he saw no place for Mr..
Wallace In the Democratic campaign
next year Even President Truman
spoke up and said he hoped to see Mr..
Wallace in the Democratic ranks. Per-
haps Mr.. Sullivan was right after all.

Trumun and Wallace

It is a question whether there Is
much that the President can do, or
ought to do, about Henry Wallace's
extraordinary TRADES in Britain. To
do anything OF a striking nature
might have the effect Of making
Mr.. Wallace appear to non-Amer-
leans to be more important than he
really is, or it might have the effect
of seeming to dignity the mans
offensiveness towards his own Gov
ernment.
OF course, the President might
take back what he said the other
day when he told news conference
that he had no desire to read Mr..
Wallace out of the Democratic
Party But would 1t be wise to stage
a spectacular political excommuni-
cation? Might not such an event be
embroidered upon abroad-notably
in Russia-as evidence of Mr.. Wal
lace's significance or of our Govern
ment's unwillingness to let promi-
nent Americans speak out in
opposition?
After all, last September President
Truman repudiated Mr.. Wallace
about as completely as any man
could be repudiated. AS Secretary of
Commerce, MIR. Wallace was then
doing his best to undermine Secre-
tary of State Byrnes-who was at
the Paris Conference of Foreign
Ministers-by attacking American
foreign policy for allegedly being too
tough toward Russia. Mr.. Truman
finally resolved this by firing Mr.
Wallace from the cabinet and re-
tiring him to private life.
Today, as a private citizen, Mr..
Wallace seems to be well within his
legal rights in saying the things he
has been saying in Britain. Apart
from sounding more like Ilya Ehren-
burg than an American, his offense
is that he has been showing a vast
amount of irresponsibility and a
shocking degree of improperly.
Capitalizing on the high honors
once accorded him by his country,
ue mas been grossly misrepresenting
the motives of our Government, wit
tingly or unwittingly, through dis
tortion and otherwise, painting a
lurid picture abroad of the United
States officially bent on course of
ruthless imperialism"
Under our laws, this sort of thing
is permissible not less for Mr.. WAL
lace than for others equally thick
skinned, reckless or lacking in good
taste. The President may find that
his Wisest course is to allow Mr.. Wal
lace to run down, like a clock that
somebody decided not to wind again.
Actually, as far as the overwhelm-
ing majority of the American people
are concerned, Mr.. Wallace has been
pretty effectively repudiating him
self. As for an answer to- what he
has been saying, resounding con-
gressional support Of our foreign
policy will be answer enough

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Henry A. Wallace, former Vice Presi-
dent and Secretary of Commerce, will
never go down in history as the man
who toasted: my Country, may she al
ways be right. But right or wrong, my
Country" Mr.. Wallace is at present en-
gagged in q campaign, telling the British,
the French, and particularly the Rus
slams, how wrong the United States is
in its efforts to head off the spread of
communism. He has become, before the
world, the major critic of the foreign
policy of his own government, which,
clearly, has the overwhelming backing
of his own countrymen.
Americans generally will agree with
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, Re
publican, chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, who said: 1T
is shocking thing when an American
citizen goes abroad to speak against his
own Government" And Senator Full
bright OF Arkansas, author of resolu-
ticn in the House, of which he was then
a member, first committing the United
States to policy of international COL
laboration, commented on Mr.. Wal
lace's speech: "It sounded just as though
it has been written in the Kremlin."
Mr.. Wallace first broke with the Tru-
man administration over it's foreign
policy early last fall, when he went to
New York to deliver a speech starting
the congressional campaign. At that
time he denounced the policy of getting
tough" with Russia and struck out on
an appeasement (of the Soviet course.
He announced, at the time, he had the
approval Of President Truman for his
address. 1t created Juror, here and
abroad. The President finally fired him
from his cabinet post, and Henry went
into more or less political oblivion. Many
of the speaking dates which had been
made for him were Cancelled, and there
was general desire to avoid Mr.. Wal
lace as Democratic campaigner.
AS editor Of the New Republic, Mr..
Wallace has continued to illuminate at
times against the Truman administra-
tion's policy. But now when he goes
abroad and seeks to make other peoples
believe there Is any considerable group
OF Americans who believe as he does
that the United States Is launching out
on an imperiaiiStic course-he again
crashes the headlines. This may be
good advertising for the magazine OF
which he Is editor.
The proposed loans to Greece and
Turkey-designed to bolster those coun-
tries against the encroachment of Com
munist Russia-are the immediate tar
gets Of Mr.. Wallace's attack He insists
that they are first sure step toward
wT. But Mr.. Wallace can give no as

Of League governance; union with
France, or union with Germany.
Despite the economic advantage Of
either OF the first two alternatives,
the Saarlanders showed their ma
tionalistic preference by voting over

Reich.
Secretary MarshalPs present pro-
posal excludes political union OF the
Saar with France, and the French
government has not urged it, SEEM
ingly agreeing that the Saarlanders
should have their own citizenship
and the right to manage their own
affairs. What the political effects
of their complete economic integra-
ton with France would be in the
long run is something which only
the future could reveal.

Pan American Ideal

The celebration OF the fifty
seventh anniversary of the founding
OF the Pan American Union will be
in progress all this week. 1t started
yesterday with meeting at which
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan urged the acceptance by
Canada Of the twenty-second chair
in the assembly room of the Govern
ing Board in the Pan American
Building. His proposal was applaud
ed enthusiastically, and the people
OF the United States will hope that
the Dominion's adherence will fol-
low without further delay.
: Need for hemisphere solidarity
perhaps now is more notably obvious
than ever it was in the past. As
MIR. Truman said, "the inspiration
and example furnished by =
peaceful collaboration Of the Amer
lean republics have contributed to
the development of worldwide inter-
national collaboration through the
United Nations for the welfare and
security of all peoples everywhere.
No community in the newer half
OF the globe has anything to gain
by abstaining from cooperation.
On the contrary, it has been shown
again and again-especially during
the Second World War-that the
whole inclusive civilization of the
Americas is advantaged by con-
sistent mutually.
The pressure of events increases
the value and the significance OF
the Pan American Union as the
decades pass. What has come to
be known as the Inter-American
System Is a demonstration OF the
efficiency with which friendly gov
ernments, cultural institutions, COM
mercial organizations and social and
civic groups can work together.
The basic ideal represented by
the current celebration is not new. It
was best expressed in the Scriptures
in the words: Behold how good and
how pleasant 1t is for brethren to
dwell together in unity" At Bogota,
Colombia, in December, the Ninth
international Conference OF Amer
lean States will put that principle
into practice. It will be the more
successful If by the date Of its OPEN
ing Canada has acted upon Mr..
Vandenberg's constructive sugges-
ton.

making substantial contributions to
overall knowledge of cancer"
Outstanding accomplishments in out
side institutions supported in whole or in
part by grants from the National Cancer
Institute have included, DR.. Parran
declared

Meanwhile, among many outstanding
achievements of the National Cancer
Institute have been those showing that:
There is no single cause Of cancer and
that conditions which bring about cancer
in one organ or tissue may bear no rela-
tionship whatever to the conditions
which bring on cancer in another organ
or tissue.
'Enzyme content and patterns of nor

have shown that over three and one-half
cases of cancer exist for every recorded
DEATH
Everybody's Help Wanted.
AS to individual participation of
citizens and group volunteer effort, DR..
Parran argued
I'm my view, cancer, like every other
great national health problem, is not
solely responsibility of the Federal
Government. This is problem
which involves the whole people, who
should share in its solution through
their benevolence and philanthropy.
"The Federal Government, I believe,
has its part; the individual research
and educational institutions have their
part to play. The State and local health
departments, the community hospitals,
the medical profession, have their part
to play. And finally the rank and file
of the people themselves, if they are
interested in this problem as they seem
to be, and If, as hope, it is not merely
a passing wave of hysteria, if they are
sufficiently interested to give their own
dollars and dimes to the support of
organizations which carry on research
and service in this field, I think 1t is q
very encouraging sign. Our program
contemplates cooperating with these
voluntary groups, including notably the
American Cancer Society"

(This second OF t,uo articles repiew-
ing recent testimony OF Surg. Gen.
Thomas P1rrdn before a congressional
committee comedies ,Dith the opening
tn Washington of campaign to raise
funds in great national effort to
right cancer)
The history and the prospects Of the
national war against cancer were dis
cussed by DR.. Thomas Parran, Surgeon
General, United States Public Health
Service, in his testimony on the Labor
Federal Security Appropriation Bill, l948,
in language both starkly realistic and
hopeful.
Congress in past years, he told the
subcommittee of the Committee on
: Appropriations, House of Represent
atives, "has not been niggardly In
dealing with this problem. The Cancer
Institute Act was passed only in 1887
BY the time the institution was con-
structed, the war or threat of war was
upon us. The war obviously drained the
scientific resources of the country There
was limitation initially in the Cancer
Institute Act Of $780, 900 a year. would
have you recall 1t was less than 10 years
ago that in testifying concerning the
pending cancer control bill before the
Committee on Commerce of the Senate,
the general manager and official spokes-
man for the American Medical Associa-
tion testified against the Government
spending that much money for cancer
research because it would throw out of
balance all Of the medical research in
the country If as much as 100000 per
year were authorized for this one pur-
pose.
II cite that not in criticism, but to
illustrate how the sentiment Of the
country has changed SO radically in the
meanwhile. We have been criticized
because the Cancer Institute hasn't
solved the cancer problem That fact is
incontrovertible. We have not solved the
cancer problem. Came the war, and
some Of our scientific personnel having
experience in radiology were needed to
cooperate on the Manhattan district
project, the atomic bomb project. Other
scientists concerned with the problem of
growth were diverted to work in the
Chemical Warfare Service. Still other
scientists and doctors were needed to
treat wounded sailors on Coast Guard
transports. And generally speaking, our
scientific staff was necessarily diverted
to some extent from this problem to war
tasks; other members of the staff
entered the Army and Navy ON their
own, where they served with distinction.
"At this point would like to revert
to the third essential, as I have stated
earlier, in support of cancer research,
and that is continuity. We have been
afraid of mushroom growth which
might collapse and put on relief the
scientists who had undertaken to make
life career in this field
Money Spent Thus Far.
DR.. Parran then explained that
appropriations for the National Cancer
Institute, beginning in 1898 and running
up to and including 1916, totaled "a, ,529,-
87o. An additional $2,500,000 was ear
marked by Congress for grants to the
States for cancer control during the
present fiscal year. These grants have
helped so different institutions, most
Of them universities and hospitals,

How to be graceful though gardener:
Ii woman, wear slacks, not q short
skirt. Nothing looks more odd than 4
lady bending over in such garment.
II a man, do not lean too forward too
much In the various chores of the yard.
1t Is not necessary to emulate the
leaning tower to push q lawn mower.
The exaggerated lean is easy to ac-
quire, difficult to give up, once 1t becomes
a habit.
This desired gracefulness is mostly for
the person involved, because 1t makes
for easier gardening
One OF our local gardeners has written

1t is not necessary to put as much
steam into this work as many would
have you believe.
Take squatting. for instance.
The full squat is one of the most firing
attitudes In the world.
II Furnishes the thighs, and Ia un.

Trimming is nuisance, but often 1t
has to be done.
Various clippers and trimmers are on
the market, some with handles that work
one way, and some the other, but IL Is
the STOPPING that causes the trouble.
The one knee stand Is the solution,
unless you have clippers on the end of
long sticks.
Whatever you do, don't squat.
There Is nothing that takes the Joy
out OF little gardening more quickly.
Many an ardent gardener has given
up the task because Of the squat, without
realizing that this was 1t.
Bend down some other way, II you
want to continue at gardening tasks.
Wear gloves, II you can.
Not all persons can, but these must
run the risk of an allergy.
1t Is not always realized that there are
other things in the garden besides poison
ivy that are able to make your skin burn,
itch. grow painful.
Some of these come from vegetables,
Poison ivy is easy to detect and can
be given the cold shoulder, but some of
the other things are poisonous only to
an individual now and then.
Like all fungus afflictions, they are
difficult to end
The best way is to wear gloves, If you
have a sensitive skin. and can work in
them. Some people can't.
The biggest laugh in the magazines
this spring is the handsome male
gardeners all dolled up in perfect slacks,
hats, etc.
Next to camping, when one can let
the beard grow, the garden is known as
the perfect stamping ground for sloppy
clothes.
1t seems that most men get on the
oldest and worst clothes they have for
gardening. and they are right. Such
garments make for grace, ease and good
gardening.

in his trousers could set out plants, NOW
