Shameless GOuging
Washington Post

Charges of outrageous profiteering in wheat by the Argentine government have been confirmed by responsible American officials, of whom recently a purchasing agreement calling for payment in American dollars of s590 for bushel of Argentinas wheat It is difficult find words to describe this kind of shameless graspng for profits the expense of needy nations.
 It would be bad enough if the profiteers were private citizens but in this it is the government that is raking in the profits while paying the farmers less than fourth of it's selling price. According to report these ill-gotten gains being used to finance Argentna's industralization program and build up her military machine In view of the ill will created by such conscienceless proeering the Peron regime may well look to its defenses. For nation that hopes to benefit by exploiting the world misery is likely to be bereft of friends when if needs them.
 The policy followed by our Government offers a heartening contrast to that of Argentina though we cannot afford be compacent with wheat selling at present exorbitant prices However, the high prices we are charging foreign countries for wheat the result of mistaken domestic policies that have brought distress to Americans well as to countries dependant on us for wheat supplies
 The profits from wheat sales at least are return ed to the farmers and the traders of the country. For the Government buys at the market price and funds for foreign purchasing from loans and credits large proportion of which will probably be repaid Whatever it's fangs therefore, the United States Government cannot be accused of using our supluSes to rich at the expense of impoverished foreigners On the contrary it is committed poli- cies that impose additional burdens our heavily taxed people ard exact sacrifices from the consuming public in the form of high and rising food costs
 The people of Argentina, we know, must be hang ing their heads in shame the sorry exhibition at the bar of history that the Peron regime is affordng.

PROTEST FROM NOME

The old wreckng gang of the Department of the Interior apparently is still going strong under Secretary Krug as it did under 1ckes
 Word received here from Nome reveals that an Interior Department party held surprise hearing there August 18 for the purpose of discussing plan to establish reservation of 2300 square miles in the Shungnak area for the exclusive use and possession advance
 Reports the Nome Chamber of Commerce, testi- mony brought out these facts:
 l. The natives may have the reservation by a majority vote of the native residents of the Shung- nak District and the approval of the Secretary of the Interior.
 9 Given the reservation, the Interior Depart ment may lease the mining property if it desires to a company or companies.
 8 Whites could hunt prospect within the area only by permission of the natives and the Secretary of the Interior.
 Why the Interior Department continues to insist upon discriminating between classes of Alaskan citi- zens we do not know Why the department persists in believing that the plight of the Alaska native will be bettered by placing him reservation we cannot see
 We can see that if large reservations are estab- lished upon which the natives have control of large mining claims. timber. fish canneries or other re- sources the Interior Department would be able to enter the field of private business in behalf of the native employing thousands of government workers in an experiment in socialism.

Senate, shamefuly ridiculed the idea that the rocky, worthless Pacific Coast would be of any value to the then small nation the Atlantic Coast with it's frontier along the Mississippi Valley.
 He had travelled much farther than from his native New England to the national capital and had little faith in the reports and observations of others who had crossed the continent and had visual zed potenalties of great united nation stretch ing from coast to coast
 Whether he would have changed his mind if he had been able to sail around the Horn to the Golden Gate or to see the country by stage coach may be prouematical But his ignorance and disparagement Of the West well Illustrates the handicap any legislator has in not knowing. first-hand, what he is talking about.
 His example might well be recalled by present. day critics of this summers junkets of large num- Der of Senators and Congressmen."
 It is unquestionably true and it outstandngly true during the Roman Holiday known as the New Deal, that Congressmen will times take pleasure jaunts at public expense which result in value the people who footing the bills. That however, does justify condemnation of the practice of hav- ing he in whose hands the destiny of the nation lies know that nation at first hand. Even in these days truly transportation facilities the curse of provincialism in government persists and there is cure for it which compare with travel
 We feel certain that AlaskanS who met and dis cussed Alaska affairs with the recent Congressional visitors will agree that they in the main serious and open minded group of men and that they will approach the many Alaskan problems of enormous importance to the Territory and the Nation with more vital interest and a far greater measure of because of their visit
 A billon-dollar corporation should not begrudge the travelling expenses of it's board of directors who seek to inform themselves prior to reaching decisions of such magnitude as those which must be resolved concerning the future of Alaska

Speaker Joe Martin, reach ed by telephone in San Francisco, approved the food program but de- clined an invitation to go on the radio with President Truman. He sugges. ed Republican Senator White of Maine instead. Food Commit tee members were surprised to dis cover that the Agriculture Depart nent. up to last week, had issued no appeal to farmers to curtall fattening of hogs and cattle. The Agriculture Department is scaling down Europe'S l6-natiCn estimate of what it wll cost to implement the Marshall Plan. The farm eX- perts claim that some nations in- cluded grain for livestock as an emergency food need.

NO-SARONG SENATOR

A senator has no business doing strip-tease on a hotel veranda, even in tropical Guatemala, where saiongs are in vogue. And of ali the men in Congress, Senator El- bert Thomas of Utah would be the last expected to execute such a fancy dance.
 However, Washington society col umnist Countess Austine Cassini recently reported the austere Sen ator as having been spotted on a Guatemala yeranda stripped nek- kid 10 the waist

 You know what that means, MT. President. Unless we meet our re- sponsibility, the door will be opened to Communist instructions and a Red sweep of Europe" Truman said he was fully aware of this. He looked hard for some time at the colored slide and the meager amount of food on the { plate.

FARM LEADER SPURS TRUMAN

Albert s. Goss, master of the National Grange, the nations big eest farm organization, is mild appearing, he-spectacled, little man you might mistake for a professor on leave from an Ivy League col lege.
 However, Goss does some unpro- fessional slugging on issues that interest him, and although he re- presents the farmer he also strong ly believes in feeding Europe. Call ing on President Truman the other day, Cess urged drastic steps to deal with the food crisis.
 This is an emergency, compar- able to wartime emergency the farm leader told the President So we all must pitch in, tighten our belts and treat it as such.
 Until it is over, everybody business, labor and the farmers will have to be satisfied with a smaller margin of profit I am sure you will find the farmers only , too wiling to do their part.
 The Grange leader showed Tru- man a colored slide of a picture Of one weeks food rations in the American occupation zone in Ger many. taken when Goss was in Frankfurt during European tour last spring. It was enough tc cover a good-s.zed dinner plate, plus a small loaf of bread-a full week S supply for one person.
