JACKSONVILLE, FEB. %. -
Whether orsnot Onslow county farm
producers will have a cooperative
cold storage plant CT their own
VIII he determined within the next
two weeks.
Du-ing that period Nhey will be
asked TO commit themselves favor
ably or unfavorably on the cooper
alive proposal, which for the past
month has been given widespread
discussion.
e. According to C.. c. Clark, Jr..
Onslow county farm agent. the
plant will be constructed without
delay if a sufficiently Ia &c nunber
of farmers manifest their approval
of the project by a WILLINGNESS to
invest in cooperative stock.
Between $40. 900 and $3a. 900 will
be needed to finance the plant con
struction and, in addition, provide
the equipment which would fit it
for The purpose Of processing any
type of surplus produce at any sea-
son of the year, Clark said.
The plant proper would, Of
course, be equipped with adequate
locker space to accommodate the
needs of the cooperating prod
ucers.
Just now the campaign for the
cold storage plant is in an educa-
tlonal stage for those operators of
Onslow's 200 farms who may not
be fully aware Of the opportunities
offered in the undertaking, Clark
explained.
In furtherance Of this campaign,
a special radio program has been
scheduled for noon Wednesday over
WING at Jacksonville.
This broadcast will take the form
OF a question and answer program
during which questions concerning
cooperative cold storage plant op-
Grafton will be answered by r. r.
Rich, Fender county farm agent.
and Louis Blake, marager of the
Fender cooperative plant located
ut Burgaw.
The questions viii be propou1ded
by Clark, and all interested prod
ucers are invited to hear the pro-
gram.
Clark explained that the Fender
plant at Burgaw is Of the type GEN.
orally favored in Onslow county.
No cold storage plant has ever
operated in Onslow, and this is the
first attempt al the formation of a
cooperative organization, Clark
said.
IT erected, it seems probable that
the Onslow plant would be located
ut Jacksonville by reason of it's
central geographical position in the
county.

sion, an incident that led our State
Department to press for a prompt
change in the situation in keeping
with Russia's commitments.
As a result of this pressure,
Moscow now declares itself ready to
arrange for a shift in control. If
the Nationalist government of
China is in a position to take over,
further delay in carrying out the
terms of the Sino-Soviet treaty
which has been in effect for well
over a year and a half-can hardly
be excused. Under both this treaty
and their Yalta commitments, the
Russians are pledged to honor
Chinese sovereignty over Dairen as
port open to the peaceful ships and
trade of all nations. The sooner
they fulfill the pledge, the better it
will be for them and everybody else.

The Breakfast QuurreI 4

AI gathering Ol WOIileH LII NeW
York recently. safety expert
warned against the danger of argu-
ments at the breakfast table. Such
arguments, he said, leave husbands
and wives absent-minded the rest
of the day, with the result that there
are a lot more industrial and home
accidents than there would be If
everybody made point of having
peace reign over the orange juice
and eggs.
The safety expert, of course, was
not referring to the really violent
type of breakfast argument, which
ends in knife throwing and other
kinds of mayhem, and which fortu-
nately is relatively rare. He was re-
ferring to the common, ordinary
type, which winds up with the wife
retreating to the kitchen in tears
and the husband gulping his coffee
and slamming the door behind him
as he stamps angrily out of the
house. This is the milder type, but
let no one suppose that it can be
laughed off. After it happens, the
woman involved goes around feeling
sorry for herself all day and dream
ing wiShful dreams of one kind or
another. Her mind, alas, wanders,
and suddenly she trips over rug
and bangs her head or falls down.

at the Office or factory, instead of
keeping his thoughts on his job,
thinks up smart rejoinders he failed
to think of in the morning, or per-
haps he tries to figure out way to
be friends again when he gets home.
Too bad for himl Before he knows
it, he knocks himself out by running
into door or gets his toe caught
in a piece of machinery. Thus, in
delayed-action fashion, the break

Such quarrels, moreover, do more

digestion at lunchtime. And they
leave a psychological mark. on all
who take part in them. Thus, there

The Trusteeship Council

The Trusteeship Council is one of
series of collateral agencies set
up under the Charter provisions of
the United Nations. It's function is
to assume jurisdiction over terri
tories not yet deemed ready for
self-government. In this respect, it
is designed to replace the Mandates
Commission of the former League
of Nations. Eight League Mandates,
either in tropical Africa or in the
Pacific, have been already trans
ferred to the Councils jurisdiction,
but several others await transfer
because the terms have not yet been
agreed upon. This is notably true
of the Pacific islands under Japa-
nese Mandate, conquered by Ameri-
can arms during the late war and
earmarked by us for our Trusteeship.
1t is likewise true of Southwest
Africa and Palestine. Furthermore,
there is strong probability that
Italy's African colonies and certain
additional Pacific islands hitherto
owned by Japan in full sovereignty
will be added to the TruSteeship
category. Lastly, the uncertainties
attending the future of other
colonial empires may best be met
by the Trusteeship method.
Under these circumstances, the
Importance of the U. N. Trusteeship
Council may become both more
extensive and more authoritative
than that of the former Mandates
Commission of the League. This
latter possibility is, however, as yet
uncertain, because the precise limits
to the Councils jurisdictional pre-
negatives have not been worked out.
Indeed, it is presumably owing to a
sharp divergence of views over this
issue that Soviet Russia abstained
from attending the Commissions
opening session last Wednesday.
Last December, during the session
of the U. N. General Assembly at
which the matter was considered,
the Russian representatives strongly
contended that the Trusteeship
Council, in the form proposed, was
illegal as conflicting with Charter
provisions, and when Russian objec-
tions and counterproposals were
voted down by a majority of the
Assembly, Moscow and some of its
satellites entered a formal protest
against the proceedings. The empty
chair designated for Russia at the
Councils opening session is gen.
orally interpreted as continuance
of this disapproval and as implying
an obstructive attitude on Russia's
part.
Russia's absence obviously threw
a damper over the meeting. All
the speakers, including Trygve Lie,
Secretary General of the U. N,
deplored the circumstance while
expressing hope that it might be
remedied. Moscow's action in this
instance is, however, logical part
of the pattern displayed by Soviet
diplomacy, alike within and with
out the United Nations. Wherever
Moscow cannot have it's own way
it usually refuses to play the game.

Russia and Dairen

In agreeing to take appropriate
steps" to turn over the Manchurian
port of H0iren to China, the Rus
SLAMS have not revealed just when
the transfer will be made. Unless
1t would play into the hands of the
Chinese Communists, however,
prompt Soviet withdrawal should
be executed. Actually, the Stain
government has long been COM
mitted to do this, and it's failure to
do it up to now has been source
of friction and suspicion.
Dairen's status was first decided
upon at Yalta in February, 1945. At
that time, while receiving numerous
concessions, Generalissimo Stain
agreed with President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill that the
city-like all of Manchuria-should
be part of sovereign China and open
to the commerce of the world. Later,
In the thirty-year Sino-Soviet treaty
of August, 1945. the Russians spe-
cifically obligated themselves to re-
gard the place as free port to be
administered and policed by the
Chinese. For their part, the Chi
nese agreed to lease to the Russians,
at no cost, half the port installa-
tions and to give them a voice in
the regulation of harbor traffic.
Considering that the Russians
lost Dairen to Japan in 1905 and
that it is. of considerable Importance
to them as a winter outlet to the
sea when Vladivostok is ice-locked,
the special leasing arrangement is
historically and economically under
standable. What is not understand
able is why the Russians have been
so slow about yielding control to
China. Instead of doing that, they
have held on to the place and
dropped an iron curtain around it.
A. few months ago this policy-a
policy making Dairen anything but
a free port-expressed itself in
high-handed order shooing away an

New Threats to Sufety

AS II tney old not have enough
worries with things as they are, the
Nations safety experts are begin
ming to worry about potential perils
of the dawning age of atomic energy,
jet propulsion and similar scientific
marvels. More than seven thousand
specialists on accident prevention
attending the annual Safety Con-
vention and Exposition in New York
City have been warned to prepare
for dire new accident hazards in the
era of unleashed atomic power and
supersonic speeds that lies ahead.
1t Is certainly not too early for
the safety experts to start thinking
about the accident problems of the
future, even though they have their
hands full in these relatively slow
moving times. The harnessing of
the atom for industrial use will mean
new kinds of danger for those en-
ployed on the project-risks, like
radiation exposure, requiring new
educational campaigns and new
safeguards for workers and the pub
lie. And, just as highway and air.
way authorities are exerting their
best efforts to promote safety of
travel, along come jet motors and
rockets to push speeds higher than
ever and, withal, to bring new
dangers to human life and limb.
These dangers will not, of course,
deter man from venturing further
and further in the field of scientific
progress. On the contrary, the very
dangers involved constitute a chal-
lenge which serves only to spur the
inventors and engineers to greater
accomplishments. These bold and
determined pioneers are running
risks far graver than those which
will confront the later users of
atomic power or the passengers of
rocket aircraft. AS with the rail-
road, the automobile and the air
plane, the accident hazards will
decrease as mans experience with
and knowledge of the new devices
increase-and as safety experts con-
tinue their worthwhile campaign
to reduce the accident toll on the
ground and in the air. Truly the
safety experts job is never done.

Omissions Noted

The most Important omission by
Mr.. Koran in the speech he made
on Wednesday, which is reproduced
in full on this page, is that Congress
is solely responsible for good-or
bad-government in Washington.
The "conglomeration of authorities"
of which he complains is all too true.
The sad part of it is that the un-
represented taxpayers of this city
are charged for the expense of in
efficiency but denied the power to
correct it. Anything that Mr.. Horan
can do to iron out the business will
bring applause from the people of
Washington.
But, please, Mr.. Horan, do not con-
fuse the inefhciencies and made
quacies of local government with
any lack of a feeling" of response
bility on the part of the people who
live here and pay their taxes for
others to spend. Washingtonians
are blocked off from any effective
assumption of responsibility. They
have no votes. They have no rep
resentatives in Congress. They have
nothing to say about the people
chosen by others to rule them. Help
them to WELD that great corrector of
what is wrong-the ballot-and
things will change.
AS for robbing the Treasury, people
in Washington were hopeful that
Mr.. Horan would leave that wormy
chestnut alone and get down to some
of the realities he wants us to face.
Washington taxpayers are in no
position to rob the Treasury, if they
had the desire. The only people
who can rob the Treasury are the
people with votes. All Washington
is asking is that Congress find out
the value of what the controlling
National Government receives from
its omnipotent control of the seat
Of government and pay for it. 1t
can dodge the payment, of course.
1t does all the controlling and de-
cides, alone, who shall do the pay
ing. But it had been hoped that
the time had come for change.
The more inefflciency and waste
that Mr.. Horan and his committee
can turn up at the District Building
or anywhere else, the louder will be
the cheers of the people here who
have to pay the bills. But why can
we not 60 after the waste and ineffi-
cheney, the duplication and the con-
fusion, without blaming it all on the
people who live here? They did not
cause it. Every little independent
kingdom mentioned by Mr.. Horan,
drawing its revenue from local tax
payers but subject to no local con-
troll, was set up and is maintained
by Congress. Let Mr.. Horan break
up the business and win stars for
his crown. But let him do it with
out jumping on the people who have
to pay for the duplication and waste.
Mr.. Horan is a most likeable and
earnest legislator and Washington
expects great things from him. But
the wrong way for him to start out
is by trying to shoot the piano player.

There is still another side of this hous-

a reasonable dividend and he built more

Wants Labor Costs Reduced
To the Editor OF The Star:
Much has been said about the sup
posed duty of some one, somewhere to
supply plenty of houses for people to
live in and the current high costs Of
building them.
However, little If anything, has been
said about reducing that part of the
costs that goes for labor which, it is
reported, amounts to from 70qo to
$50 of the whole.
1t would appear that If the entire
difference between the labor cost and
the finished house price could be elm
mated, the cost of building houses still
would be more than safe-minded people
could promise to pay.
How would it be for Senator Taft, Mr..
La Guardia, young Mr.. Roosevelt and
others who want the Government to
assume the high costs of building to
take the leadership in movement to
reduce costs where there is room for
it. that is reduce the costs of labor?
