Matter Of Fact
BY JOSEPH S

some property actually Ameri-
can owned, such as the Ameri-
can interest in vital Zisterdorf
oil resources.
Nor was this all. Totally in
credible as it may seem, the
Soviets blandly announced, in
the recent fruitless meetings of
the Austrian Treaty Commission,
that they were the owners of
Austrian roads. The Nazis had
constructed autobahnen in Aus
tria after the anschluss. The So
Wet negotiator, Novikov, had the
marvellous gall to claim
that both these roads and the
land underlying them belonged
to the Soviet Union. By the same
token he laid claim to a number
of public buildings. But as a ges-
ture of infinite generosity, he Of
fered to trade off these roads
and buildings, against stock in
industrial plants which even the
Soviets could not call German.
In total, the property thus
claimed by the Soviets is valued
at between $500 and $500 mil
lion. If it remains in their hands,
it Will give them control of key
sectors of the Austrian economy.
1t is an immense weapon of lev
erage, both to force Austria into
her destined economic place in
a Soviet-dominated Danube val
ley, and in the long run to add
political subsection to economic
domination. The management of
the Soviet properties has been
carefully planned for this pur-
pose. Except for the Danube
Shipping Company and the oil
wells, all the industrial plants
have been gathered into a single
gigantic holding company, US.

Soviet sympathizers who are al
ways seeing cartels under the
bed). And political use is al
ready beginning. In the food
riots last May, many of the dem
onstrators were workmen in So
Wet plants given time off for
the purpose.

this system, the Soviets are
refusing to sign an Austrian
treaty until they have been
granted economic extraterrito-
riality in Austria. What they
want would have brought the
blush to the cheek of the British
in the period of the opium war.
They insist that their holdings
and the profits" there : from
must be untouchable by the Aus
TRAN state. And when asked to
define profits for the Austrian
Treaty Commission, Novikov
blandly declared that his govern
ment would tell the Aus
trian government what the word
meant. later on.
The Americans and British at
Moscow and in the sessions of
the treaty commission firmly re-
jected> any Austrian treaty in
Guiding this kind of open threat
to Austria's independence. Thus
there is no treaty and the cruel
and Gripping occupation con-
tinues.
Leading Austrians like Chan
.cellor Figl and Foreign Minister
Gruber are ready to risk grant,
ing about one-third of the Soviet
economic demands in order to
terminate the Soviet military &C.
cupation. Indeed, the Austrians
felt that General Mark Clark
was far too unwilling to nego-
tlate in Moscow.
But neither in the sittings of
the treaty commission, nor in
the direct but informal Soviet
Austrian talks, have the Soviets
shown the slightest sign of abat-
ing their demands. Thus far,
their position is that of Shyloch.
Austria is being held to ransom
for a Soviet pound of flesh which
will kill her if she yields it. Under
the circumstances it seems a
trifle puzzling that our Henry
Wallace should bleat like so
many heifers over the American
air bases in the unihhabit-
ed wastes of Iceland.

A Powerful Lesson

North Cardinals tobacco markets will
re-open Monday after an emergency holl-
day prompted by the withdrawal OF Great
Britain's buyers but whether this inter-
ruption in the flow Of cash to the farmers
will be a warning for greater crop d1versl-
~fication remains to be seen.
It certainly should be a red light none
could ignore.
It is almost impossible to think OF a
more striking example Of the producers
of a commodity being at the mercy OF a
foreign market. Last year, Britain pur-
chased approxima tely 80 per cent OF the
American leaf crop for export. But the
dire necessity of conserving her dollar
credits for food forced her to stop buying
several days ago.
The Federal government rushed to the
aid of the farmers and, through the Com
modify Credit corporation, agreed to pur-
chase approximately $25, 600, 600 worth OF
tobacco during the remainder of the sea-
son. 1t was not the first time such relief
had been forthcoming. In 1889 and 1910,
when the emergencies of war forced Brit
ain out of the market, a similar procedure
was followed.
Meanwhile, Fred S. Register, president
of the Bright Belt Warehouse association
and chairman of the 15-member flue-cured
marketing committee, said he would not
attempt to forecast the trend of prices
when auctions are resumed. But, he
added, everything possible has been done
to support the average price.
How can the farmer remove himself
of economic conditions far beyond his con-
troll?
The answer is Investigator
Instead of putting all his facilities, time
and labor into one crop, he should give
some attention to other money-producing
ones North Cardinals climate and soil
encourage Investigation. It is not neces-
sary to go far from Wilmington to see
excellent examples. The man who had half
his crop producing resources in truck,
Strawberries, sweet potatoes, live
stock, dairying or any one of a score of
agricultural enterprises was just half as
worried about the effect of Britain's &C.
IlOu OH LODdCCO DIS IHG ldIllleI VIII Gull
centrated on the leaf crop and ignored
all others.
Diversification eliminates or reduces the
gamble in farming.
Should tobacco prices take up and main
tain a downward trend, the agriculturist
who staked all on this crop is going to
suffer serious financial damage. He has
no opportunity to recoup on another one.
He is simply the victim of having placed
all his eggs in one basket.
The tobacco holiday offered the best of
all opportunities for proponents of diversi-
fication to preach their well-founded
theme. They are not overlooking this
chance. But whether the benefits of their
program will be recognized as they should
is up to the individual farmer. How the
tobacco producer, in face of the recent
treatment he has suffered, can ignore
them is something we cannot see. The
necessary holiday was a dramatic, force
full lesson but whether it is needed as it
should De will not be known until the re-
ports on the 1948 acreage paintings are
in and tabulated.

But don't let it cheer you up too much.
