to anything the rest of the UN wants. That,
we imagine, would put the UN into a deep
sleep that only nightmare noises would dis
tinguish from death. But how would that
differ from what we have now?
In all probability Mr.. Vishinsky is right.
The UN's existence, in its original conception,
probably does depend upon what is done
about the Little Assembly. If Russia can
bluff the rest of the world out of so simple
an action then the already futile UN will
die. If the rest of the world goes ahead and
at least tries to do something, then the Sleep
ing beauty may yet be awakened.
In one thing Mr.. Vishinsky is wrong.
Russia cannot kill the heart of the UN,
which is international cooperation for peace.
Is she persists in trying, there always is the
alternative proposed by Argentina's DR..
Jose Arce - to dissolve the v~eto-stymied
present organization and Immediately re-
create it without Russia.
That would, of course, be the end Of One
World. But do we have nj world now, or
two in an unnatural union?

Stores Display Yule Stocks

Wilmington merchants are today open
ing their stores particularly for Christmas
buyers. For the first time store-wide dis
plays of Christmas goods are being made.
This does not mean that other goods
will be crowded aside. Purchasers may still
find the customary great variety of wares
that characterize the stores service to the
public.
But it does mean that from today for.
ward the people of Wilmington and from
W~ilmington's trading area will also find
shelves and counters and windows stock
ed with the things that will help make the
approaching holiday season one to be long
remembered.
There is a distinct advantage in this
early start, both for the merchants and
Christmas buyers. Thus %thirty-five shopping
days are available. There are six weekly
%pay-days, three semi-monthly and one
monthly, according to the employers Gus
tom for handing out checks or envelopes.
AS a consequence there can be no need for
anyone to 60 through with the mental or
financial worries of a last-minute rush.
Time is available for leisurely and well
considered shopping. And especially there
need be no Christmas Eve crush in the
stores.
The merchants have done well to dis
play their stocks designed for Christmas
presents early. They deserve the cooperation
OF the people which can best be carried
out by shopping early.

Middle Eastern Cauldron

WASHINGTON, - When both
the Soviet Union and the United
States amazed the world by
agreeing on something - the
partition Of Palestine - there
was a general tendency to heave
signs of relief and assume hap
PLY that one problem, at least,
was on the way to solution. This
cheerful view was implicit in the
American proposal last week in
the United Nations that sepa-
rate Jewish and Arab states be
set up next July l, Immediately
after the British troops pulled
out. For the American proposal
clearly implied that the
two states could be established
without being imposed by force.
Unfortunately those who are
closes to the situation in Pales-
tine and the Middle East do not
share this optimism. On the con-
trary, they expect trouble, and
very bad trouble. One source of
this trouble is sure to be an
aging, crafty fanatic with a be-
nevolent face and a fierce hatred
of Zionism, Hal Amin Husseini,
the Grand Multi of Jerusalem.

Marshall Lists Interim Aid

Secretary Of State Marshall, whose re-
lief proposals lave been fully explained to
Senate and House committees dealing with
foreign affairs, has broken down his plans
for interim aid for France, Italy and
Austria.
These figures do not represent his esti-
mate of Europe's need for help over a period
of years. They merely cover what he be-
lieves is needed for immediate aid to the
three countries.
For France, he would have supplies pro-
vided in the following amounts: Wheat.
$4,000, 000; coal $116, ooo, 900; cotton $3s,
600, 1000; petroleum products $22, 900, 900; fats
and oils $40, 000, 900; fertilizer SO, 900, 900
coal from Germany $4,000, 900; milk prod.
ucts 3d. 900, 900.
His estimates for Italy are: Cereals
$128, 600, 900; American coal $36, 600, 900; fer.
tilizer and other farm supplies $19, 600, 900
petroleum $13,o O0,0 900; fats and oils $12,.

Natural Resources

Soon after the white man first set foot
on the North American continent, expert
calculators got busy estimating how long
this or that natural resource would last.
The gloomiest predictions have been made
concerning timber. More than a hundred
years ago a French b~otanist, after a swing
around a portion of the country, reported
that, There is an alarming destruction of
trees for building. The complaints of the
scarcity OF timber are every year becoming
more serious in America 80" Warnings have
been issued with clocklike regularity ever
since.
In regard to our present timber re-
sources, a spokesman for the timber indus
try makes the observation that, "When we
consider overall growth in every size of
product from Christmas trees up, plus losses
from fire, disease and insects, we find that
currently the national drain is being re-
placed by growth. This has been accomplish
ed in spite of the fact that we still do not
protect 80 per cent of our forest land from
the hazard of fire. >"
1t is an historical fact that most of the
estimates of the natural resources of the
United States have been woefully mac
curate. They have indicated an inability to
grasp the vastness of the nation and its re-
Operative powers. The proof of their mac
curacy is evident on every side, in the con-
tlnued development of the natural re-
source industries, such as lumber, which
according to the estimates, should have been
out OF business a half century ago.

Wrong AS Sin

It would be foolish to laugh at the an
nouncement that the Russians have per-
fected and tested the atomic bomb. The re-
port may be false, spread especially for con-
sumption within the Soviet Union. On the
other hand, it could as readily be correct.
Russia has scientists capable of splitting
the atom for destructive purposes quite as
successfully as the American, British md
Canadian scientists who first perfected the
atomic bomb. A dozen nations have been at
work on the process for some years. 1t is
even possible that some of them have as
much right to claim success as has Russia
but refrain from announcing it because they
lack the combative attitude of the Rus
slams, whose chief aim apparently is to en-
barrass the United States and the other west
ern democracies.
If Russia has indeed perfected the atomic
bomb it would seem that Moscow would be
as ready as the United States to agree to
absolute control, with all the facts face up
on the table.
1t is not unreasonable to think that with
Moscow and Washington submitting to in
s~pection, as Washington is willing to do, and
their stock of bombs revealed, neither power
would consider starting another war as both
would know the other would r~etaliate in
kind with such losses in people and prop
erty as neither could hope to recover from.
Vishinsky is as wrong as sin when he
claims the United States is blocking atomic
control agreement. 1t was he and his Rus
sian and satellite associates who prevented
acceptance of the Baruch proposal for atomic
control because of the Russian plan of
secrecy on all activities behind the iron
curtain. If it had not been for Russian op-
position the Baruch plan would even now
be in operation and the fear of an atomic
war removed from the world.
AS the situation which Russia has Gre
ated now lies, the worlds hope of escaping
destruction through atomic warfare lodges
in the knowledge that retaliation would be
inevitable.
It was only because Hitler knew the
United States was prepared to wage worse
chemical warfare if he employed poison gas
that prevented its use in World War II.

It would be
Truman and Rayburn to head
the Democratic presidential
ticket, Eisenhower and Stassen
for the Republicans if a poll of
1900 Very Important People
made for this column is any in
dication eight months ahead of
the nominating conventions and
a year ahead of the elections.
The amazing thing about this
poll, however, is the general
lack of enthusiasm for anyone
except the Democrats auto
matte loyalty to Harry S. Tru-
man as their party leader.
Eighty = seven per cent of the
Democrats said they wanted
Truman. Wallace and Byrd
were tied for second with three
per cent each, Byrnes and Mar
shall were tied for third with
two per cent each. Chief Justice
Vinson, ex- Undersecretary of
State VIII Clayton and Atomic
Energy Commission Chairman
David E. Lilienthal divided up
the remainder.
For the Republicans, while
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
was at the TOP, he had only
a % per cent vote, which is
a long way from a majority.
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio
ran second with 10 per cent,
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York was third with 10 per cent
and ex-Gov. Harold E. Stassen
of Minnesota was fourth with II
per cent. Sen. Arthur E. Van
denburg ran next with II per
cent. Trailing were Gov. Earl
Warren of California with IA per
cent and Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur with 10 per cent. Four
others were mentioned.
Members of Congress, gov
eminent executives, the state
governors, Washington repre-
sentatives of business and labor
groups, and the 700 daily news
paper editor-clients of this col
umn were included in the poll.
Only 88 per cent of those reply
ing were willing to take a
chance on giving their presi-
Dental and vice presidential
preferences, however. They d.
vided 80 per cent Democrats
and So per cent Republicans.
This is admittedly out of bal
ance with the popular vote in
the last election, but it is still
indicative.
What the poll shows, if any
thing, is that with the exception

Mufti's political armory is a
very old one - political assas-
sination. And the Multi, accord
ing to reliable reports, has made
his position entirely clear. Any
Arab who accepts public office
or otherwise collaborates with
the partition scheme, in either
the new Jewish state or
the truncated Arab state, will
not live long enough to regret
his action.
AS the Arab world knows, the
Grand Mufti's threats are rare
ly idle. Some time ago, one of
the Mufti's relations, a MAYER
lex Husseini who preached Arab
Jewish cooperation, was neatly
dispatched as a convenient OBJ
ject lesson. More recently, one
of the leading moderates in the
Arab office, an Arab who wish
ed to solve the Palestine prob
lem by political negotiation and
compromise, was called into the

Two Worlds Or One

The Soviet deputy foreign minister,
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, warns that the very
existence of the United Nations is at stake.
1t depends, he believes, on whether the AS
sembly creates an interim committee pop
ularly known as the Little Assembly,"
The American proposal that so pro-
voked Mr.. Vishinsky called for a committee,
including representatives of all member ma
lions, to sit while the General Assembly is
in recess and its delegates at home. Such a
committee obviously could not have powers
greater than its parents. The General AS
sembly's power is limited to talking, inquir-
ing recommending and - a power the
committee would not be given - approving
or rejecting certain actions of the Security
Council.
The world is in ferment. The Security
Council has been unable to surmount the
veto on one single important matter during
its lifetime.
Soviet delegates, and most particularly
MIR. Vishinsky, seem to find it difficult even
to decline cheese with apple pie without a
denunciatory Grafton. It is reasonably safe
to minimize the threat inherent in Mr.. vi
shlnsky's warning. Probably he does not
mean that Russia will resign from the UN.
She will stay, not to cooperate but to sabo-
tage. He means, we imagine, that she will
boycott the Little Assembly, as she has boy
cotted the Balkan fact-finding and the Ko-
rean election commissions.
He could mean, of course, that if the
Assembly overrides Russia's objection to q
Little Assembly, he and his associates will
retaliate by refusing to go along on any.
thing else. Maybe he thinks that is what he
does mean. But that is no threat, because the
Soviet Union hasn't gone along on anything
yet.
