FOOD WINS FRIENDS

Farmers aren't supposed to be public speakers, but these two told brief but eloquent story of food and the job it could do as means of winning friends and keeping the peace.
 In other words, fairly represen- tative cross section of the USA is fully aware of the fact that food can be an important instrument Of American foreign policy, as import ant as guns and tanks, more con- structive than atomic bombs. Food isn't the only thing that We need to help Europe, but can probably do more than white spats and am bassadors, provided the people of Europe know where the food comes from. And that's the purpose of the Friendship Train-to drama. tize the story of American gener- osity.
 Note-Refusing to take a back seat when it comes to generosity, the people of Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma are organizing a special wheat section of the Friendship Train, leaving Wichita November 20 and arriving in Philadelphia about November 26.

Bipartisan Approach
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Sen. Arthur Vandenbergs firm declaration in support of the Marshall Plan for aid to Europe is welcome indication that the bipartisan approach Will be maintained in considering this vital question. Naturally there will be plenty of dissenting opinions in respect to the aid program to be placed before Congress when it convenes There will be doubts as to our ability to finance the gigantic program now in prospect There will be fears of serious nflaonary results to flow from such argess. And there probably will be objections to the mechanism MT. Truman recommends for administration of the assistance to Europe
 All this however does not mean that the Marshall Plan is become political football, despite the ap- proach of those political tensions which mark every presidential election year. Senator Vandenberg him self made it clear that he is not going to take any Marshall Plan program ready that he has yardstick of his by which to measure any program put before Congress.
 This is as it should be. The President has the responsibility for the formulation of foreign policy But the Congress has the final responsibility for ap- proprating funds, and for passing Judgment on any broad course of policy, foreign or domestic
 It seems probable from the comments of Con- gressional leaders both parties that the most heated debate will not concern the Marshall Plan itself or the sums to be made avaiabel for Europe. Rather, it will concern the inflation measures to be pro- posed for combating the upward of prices that might otherwise follow expanded shipments overseas. The problem is made difficult by the lapse of various controls The end of limitations on ln- stament sales for example, just effective this week, is manfestly inflatonary in tendency. Additional bonus payments to veterans in New York and Ohio likewise will be inflationary
 The danger to be guarded against, therefore, as the Congress convenes once more is not so much a partisan break the Marshall plan cleavage on party lines respecting the anti-nfation program to accompany aid to Europe.

AMERICAS AID

According to the Bureau of Labor Statlstics' the weekly earnings of those employed in factories and manufacturing plants in the United States has hit a new high of more than $50 week, more than double what it in 1889. Adjusted to the present purchasing price of the dollar this represents an n- crease of 30 per cent in wages.
 But this increase must be further discounted when it is realized that Americans paying the high est taxes in history.
 still the average American, who cannot com prehend dealing in billions is amazed to find out just how much he and his fellow citizens contributing towards the support of the war devasted foreign countries. To say that since the beginning of the war the United States has contributed more than 5S billions foreign countries means little. Coumnist Samuel Penttengi has reduced this figure to some thing the average American comprehend.
 At s8OOO per house, this huge sum would build more than seven million homes.

enthusiastic crowds celebrated the loading of bulging boxcars as then token of friendship. They were in- terested in two things; one, that their aid went direct to the people of Europe; and two, that food builds for friendlier human rela- tions with the rest of the world
 Then on across Iowa, and up through Illinois and Indiana-the score of boxcars kept mounting. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Boone, Ames, Cedar Rapids-with seven big box cars of rolled oats-Clinton and Davenport, until Iowa had rolled up the biggest total of all Then Sterling, Illinois, supposed to be in the heart of the Chicago Tribunes isclationist area, but which hooked two cars onto the Friendship Train.
 In Iowa, two farmers came aboard-L. c. Peterson Of Stanton, and Otis Futile of Norway. They had joined twenty other Iowa far mers in paying their own way to Europe last summer to see what the food situation was like. It was one of this group, when COP Con- gressman John Taber of New York said he had seen no hunger in Europe, shot back: Yes, I saw no signs of hunger in Europe-around the big hotels"

GENEROSITY AND TEAMWORK

Therefore the people at the At lantic coast end of the line may not realize the effort, generosity and teamwork that went into this symbol of American friendship. They may not know for instance, that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen on the New York Central lines east of Buffalo volunteered their services to operate the train; so also did the train crew on the Union Pacific; or that at Spencer, Iowa, freight train on the Mill waukee road stopped opposite radio station KICD while the train crew trudged through the snow to the radio station to contribute to the Friendship Train
 Most people know the railroads carried this train free but they have no conception of the pains taking details worked out by the roads in collecting boxcars, getting them hooked on in time, and keep ing this train moving across the continent in II days.
 Most people know that an en- thuslastic parade gave the train a rousing sendoff in Los Angeles. But they do not know that musicians local 1T contributed eight 40-piece bands for that parade-free Nor do they know how the teamsters- union locals in many cities furn- lshed men to load and pack box cars: or how the Hershey Chocolate Company started boxcar of sugar by beat from Cuba on the same day the Friendship Train left Los Angeles in order to meet the train ln New York; or how the little town of Sidney, Nebraska, popula- ton 4.000, rolled up two full car loads of wheat-twice as many as Omaha, with a population of a quarter of a million.
 II was the small towns of Ameri- ca which, without seeking credit, made some of the most amazing contributions-Julesburg, Colorado, one car of wheat, though not on the line of the train; Gering, Ne braska 1000 bags of dried beans; Beatrice, Nebraska, Tulare, South Dakota; Marshalltown. Iowa; Man itowac County, Wisconsin, far off the main line of the train, with one car ot condensed milk; the Farm CTS Union Grain Terminal at St Paul with one car of special Semi nola Flour, of which spaghetti is made.
