SECOND GUESS:
Unnecessary War

Herbert Hoover, the nations only
living ex-president, turned UP in the
news with startling theory that
might have saved lot of lives If 1t
had been thought Of in time.
He was quoted in a magazine
article as saying that it was not
necessary for the U. S. to have en-
tered World War II, and the Japa-
nese never would have staged the
Pearl Harbor attack ''if we had not
given them provocation.
The 73-year-old Republican was
quoted as adding, my theory is
that, If we had kept out of the i'm
mediate conflict, we could have put
our sword on the table, with our
economic resources intact, and
made a decent peace when the time
for peacemaking came" He said
he never believed that Britain was
in danger of defeat.

Draft time had rolled around
again for millions of ex-G.I.s, but
this time it was more in the nature

Virtually every city reported that
hordes of veterans had descended
on banks in an unprecedented rush
to convert their hard-won bonds
into coin of the realm. Millions of
former Joes stuffed millions Of dol
lars into their pockets.

Better Building Bricks

Hitherto worthless waste products
now may be used to make building
bricks as result of a new process
developed at the New Jersey ceram-
les research station at Rutgers uni
versity. The new brick is said to
be cheaper and stronger than those
made from clay. It is manufac-
tured from fly ash, precipitate of
SCOT, and Stag collected from fur
naces in which powdered soft coal
has been burned.
John H. Koenig, director Of the
research station, said the outstand-
ing economic aspect of the new
brick is the location of the raw ma
terials in areas where demand for
the product is greatest.

ISOTOPES:
U. S. Offer

Radioactive isotopes-products Of
American atomic research-have
been offered in limited amounts to
all foreign nations for use in man.
kinds worldwide and unending
fight against disease.
The gesture, marking the first
sharing of the fruits of U. S. atomic
ovens, doomed more significantly on
the uncertain frontier Of g1obal
peace than any loan or economic
aid so far conceived.
Described as the most important
medical research tool since the
microscope, the isotopes-radioac-
tive forms Of basic elements-are
utilized in the same manner as ma
chine gun tracer bullets. introduced
into the body or blood stream, they
can be used to trace life processes
and plot the course Of various dis
eases.
They are Of paramount impor-
lance in current cancer research
and one day may provide the clue
leading to control and cure Of that
disease.
Strings attached to the U. S. offer
of 20 radioactive isotopes to foreign
nations are few: Foreign research
ers would have to report all findings
for the mutual benefit of all ma
tons, and the atomic energy COM
mission will require that progress
reports be made every six months
and that laboratories be opened to
qualified scientific visitors who may
wish to make observations.

CRISIS AGAIN.:
TRANSMISSION?

Life these days, Secretary Of
State George Marshall has discov-
cred, is bounded on all sides by one
crisis after another.
No sooner had he returned to the
U. S. from Brazil with the mutual
American defense treaty tucked
safely under his belt than he was
beset with calls for succor from
debilitated Europe which appar-
emily, was sliding swiftly down the
ways toward utter ruin.
Insiders said the European
situation really was desperate.
Undersecretary of State Robert
Lovett had sounded the first
alarm shortly before Marshall's
return when he said that Eu-
ropes economic structure was
cracking up faster than anyone
had expected.
The fear blowing in on the winds
from Europe intensified. Precari-
ously balanced Britain remained at
the heart Of the trouble, but more
grief was added by the news that
bad weather had struck hard at
crops in many European countries
this year. Most nations had been
forced to use their meager produce
for domestic consumption rather
than for export. There was no profit
in, that, they said.
Grave doubts were expressed that
Europe could stave off complete
economic failure until next spring,
when the Marshall plan is sched-
uled to go into effect.
In The u. S., it began to APPEAR
more likely that q special session of
congress sOoWld be called this fall to
study the situation .snd perhaps set up
tbs apparatus for another economic

Erosion Peril

If the present rate Of soil erosion
continues, one-fourth of the nations
crop lands might be damaged be-
yond repair by 1860, soil conserva-
ton officials have predicted, adding
the further warning that another rs
per cent Of the land faces per-
manent injury between 1860 and
1875. Continued retirement Of broad
areas from cultivation each year
was recommended as a possible So
luton to the problem.
Erosion now is making its most
vicious inroads on the rich middle
belt Of the country, according to the
soil experts. The Midwest, long con-
sidered permanently rich
bread-basket, has been badly de-
pleted in the last few years by the
intensive production Of crops inn
portant to the war effort. Millions
Of acres of precious topsoil have
been exposed to wind and rain.
The so per cent Of available crop
land now suffering from critical
or serious erosion totals 225 mil
lion acres, and another 210 million
acres are being eaten away slowly.

FARM INCOME:
Crent Cnia

Latest round in heavy barrage
Of statistics apparently destined to
make the American farmer feel
that he is an unbelievably fortunate
man was an agriculture department
report that the nations farm own
ers are taking in more money than
ever before.
It was estimated that total farm
cash receipts during the first eight
months of 1947 were 17.4 billion dol
lars, a 81 per cent gain over the
same period Of 1948, itself a record
year.
The report said that the average
farm operator realized a net income
of 1854 from agriculture and gov
eminent payments in 1916, and this
year farm income skyrocketed still
higher as result of continuing I'm.
precedented demands for produce.
''An increase of "a per cent in
prices" was singled out by the re-
port as the chief reason for the
booming income.
But the picture has another side
that Of farm expenses. Operating
costs continue to increase and, al
though no estimate was made for
1947, the farmers expenses went up
8 per cent in 1916. Nevertheless, if
the agriculture departments esti-
mates are accurate, the increase in
farm income greatly outweighs the
simultaneous rise in expenses.

laps Return Home

About go per cent Of the Japanese
Americans removed from the West
coast at the start of the war have
returned to their former home
areas, the U. S. interior department
has announced. In a final report Of
the evacuation progr am, 1t was re-
vealed that SIS per cent of the Japa-
nese-Americans in the U. S. now
live in Washington, Oregon and
California, as compared with the
pre-war ratio of ssl5 per cent. .

LESS MEAT:
Higher Price

To date, the most important gas
Economical forecast for 1948 has
been made by r. J. Eggert, associ-
ate director of American Meat in
stitute, who predicts that Ameri-
cans will eat less meat and paw
more for it next year. Average
meat consumption in 1948 will be
148 pounds per person, compared to
an estimated 1853 pounds in 1947.
High prices will show up in the
high quality meat cuts, he said.
Eggert pointed out, however, that
many foods have shown greater
price increases than meat. ''While
meat prices have advanced since
OPA controls were lifted, the in
crease in the real cost Of meat has
not been as great as a comparison
of current prices with fictitious
OPA ceilings would Indicate"
His estimate Of less meat in 1948
was based on current high prices of
cattle and curtailed output of feed
grains. But, he said, there still will
be about 10 pounds more than our
per capita consumption from 1889 to
1941. --.-

RAILROADS.:
Steamed Up

American railroads and their en-
ployees, generating a full head of
steam, were getting ready to pull
out for long haul along the infa-
ton route-or at least it looked that
way to some economic experts.
First of all, a million railroad
workers, members of II non-oper-
ating brotherhoods employed by 1870
class / roads, were awarded 151s-
cent hourly wage increases by an
arbitration board. The unions had
sought an increase Of 20 cents an
hour.
Pointing out that the wage boost
will cost railroads an additional
$438, $4,000 annually, the Associa-
ton of Western Railways found it.
self a loophole by asserting that
greater revenue now would be need
ed to offset the pay increase.
It was Immediately apparent
where the greater revenue" would
come from. Major railroads, which
already had presented the interstate
commerce commission with a re-
quest for an average II per cent
freight rate increase, were thinking
strongly Of asking for an even larger
boost on freight rates.
One of the more ominous notes
sounded by the railroads was the
report that they were considering
an increase Of S to 10 per cent q
ton on the cost Of hauling coal

would be a great advantage-but
there is gold which already has been
mined and it is doing nothing"
And in what might have been a
sly attempt to rally U. S. public
opinion behind him, Bevin presented
this clincher: ''My own conviction
Is that the United States handi-
capped herself and caused high tax
alton in her own country by failure
to redistribute the Fort Knox gold.
