Prosecution of War and
Persecution in Peace

Short memories" are tricks en-
ployed by totalitarian demagogues.
Short memories" have no place in
democratic craftsmanship and de-
cent and honorable International
relations. To hit the nail on the
head let us turn to a significant
statement by Acting Secretary of
State Grew on February 8, 1916:
Furthermore, in view of the
co-belligerency of Italy, it has not
been necessary to apply the terms
(armistice) as originally drawn
up. Italy's economy is being de-
voted to the prosecution of the
war in the same sense as is that
of the other countries fighting
Germany"
Hail the truth! Long may it
live-and never may it be forgot
ten by peaeemakersi If Italy was
good enough to have her armistice
terms softened or even dropped
now and then. why impose on
her a harsh and brutal treaty OF
peace? If Italy's economy was
devoted to the prosecution of the
war in the same sense as. that
of the other countries fighting
Germany" then why treat her as
conquered enemy? Why not
treat her like we do the other
countries which fought Germany?
What sense or justice is there
in prosecuting Italy in peace be-
cause her economy was devoted
to the prosecution of the war;?
We hope and pray that the
Senators will ask themselves these
and similar questions before they
act on the Italian treaty. We know
that the honorable and intelligent
members constituting our Senate
will then refuse to ratify this set
tlement without first getting it
revised so as to make a just and
proper rather than a punitive and
pernicious pact.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., May Is
This is the story of little excur-
sion into misery. The miserable

town of about 10000 inhabitants,
40 miles north of Moshcow. Some
body suggested it might be a good
place to see if l wanted to take

Women Conductors
Most of the railroad conductors
are women, and so are the switch,
tenders and the gate tenders at
grade crossings.
At almost every station at
which we stopped there was a
statue of Stain, looking wise and
benign. In the seven weeks
spent in Russia I have seen at
least couple of hundred statues
of Stain. They are in hotel lob
bies, government buildings, thea
ters, parks and squares.
The really revealing part of the
trip, however, was the steady pro-
cession Of beggars through our
car.

Chile Fights the Comintern

The Chilean governments expulsion of
two YugoSlav diplomats and Yugoslavia's
consequent severance of diplomatic rela-
tionS with Chile are events of manifold
significance whose effects may be far
reaching. From every aspect it is
diplomatic sensation of the first magni-
tude Governments seldom expel the rep
resentatives of foreign nations from their
territory without very good reasons In
this case the action of the Chilean gov
ernment is abundantly justified If the
official statement concurrently issued
states the facts correctly. Certainly, no
more fragrant abuse of diplomatic privilege
could we'll be conceived than the conspira-
torial activities of the expelled diplomats,
one of whom was the Yugoslav Charge
ernment accredited to Chile.
The official statement charges that this
man has long been a major, instigator of
local Communist agitation aiming at
nothing less than a revolution, precipi-
tated after Gripping strikes should have
paralyzed the country's economic life. 1t
was this agitation which led President
Videla to abandon the experiment of
coalition government including Commu-
nists and to purge all Communist officials
from his administration.
But this is only the beginning of the
story. The offending charge d'affaires,
named Cunja, was carrying out instruc-
tions from his government-the regime
headed by Marshal Tito; and those in
structions, in turn, were supplemented by,
others emanating from what the Chilean
government describes as "the Communist
international organization cat Belgrade)
directed from a satellite power of the
Moscow government" Further. the state
ment describes Communist international
organization for the whole OF Latin Amer
lea, which transmits the orders received
from Europe and co-ordinates Communist

More to Come

From the Parsons (Kans.) sun
The farm population still is shrinking.
Government figures show 5000 900 fewer per-
sons living on farms than before the war,
although the total Is 23600 900 higher than the
wartime low reached on January !, 1945.
The exodus from farms has been going on
for long time. Mechanizstion Of farming op-
erations has made possible the farming OF
larger acreages with fewer persons. This has
not only meant d smaller farm population but
also smaller population In the towns depend
ent upon farm dollars. Fewer people in the
rural regions require fewer services and goods
in town.
The end of the farm population decreases
is not yet in sight More 11echanization Is in
the ofang for the farm. Farm States OF which
Kansas is one paust look to other sorts OF eco
nomic endeavoz If they are to hold their own
in population.
The city has beckoned many residents Of the
rural regions. For Others city life has become
q necessity Their means Of livelihood on the
farm had disappeared. The movement promises
to continue for some years yet. The satura-
ton point has not been reached on farm mech
anizatton.

Fat in the Fire

Multitudes of fat men and women are
going to be mighty displeased with DR..
Hide Bruch of Columbia University. He
has let himself in for something-but bad
He has said that obesity stems primarily
from psychological rather than metabolic
or glandular causes. He has said that it
is chiefly defense mechanism, that people
acquire it because they feel insecure and
suffer emotional stress, that they develop
1t as protective wall against the outer
world, that they are really timid souls
who seek strength, safety and power" IN
the cultivation of great wads OF flabby
flesh.
To add seeming insult to seeming in
Jury, moreover DR.. Bruch has gone on to
say this: "The obese adult, like the fat
child. is emotionally immature, passively
c.2pendent and helpless in meeting the
e1igencies of life. He seeks comfort in
overeating in the face of failure and
frustrating experience" Further, he tends
to steer clear of exercise and social con-
facts because such activity is associated
with the Concept of danger, threat and
insecurity" He prefers, instead, just to
sit around and eat. And why? Because
he finds in food IAN exaggerated positive
value" that stands for love, security and
satisfaction"
DR.. Bruch, of course, has said all this
with the best of intentions, winding up
with an appeal for the doctrine that
great slimming down could be achieved
If only the obese would see good psychl-
artist, diet properly, take regular exercise
and be more active socially. This may or
may not be true but even If 1t is true, DR..
Bruch will have to do an awful lot OF con-
vincing to dispel the wrath he has surely
invited upon himself. Jollity is said to
be part and parcel of fat but in this
instance he had better be on the lookout
for Fury with thunderbolt in each hand.
AS matter of fact, even the thin among
us will want DR.. Bruch to explain his novel
theory just bit more. How does he fit
1t in with Henry VIII, for example? Henry
was fat, but he certainly was socially
active. Then, too, going from the gross to
higher levels, what about the great Thomas
Aouinas or the hearty William Howard
Taft of more modern times? Perhaps
these and many another obese but lively
individual of the past and present are
merely the exceptions that prove the rule.
Still, even the lean must wonder while
the corpulent fume.
This seems the more true because just
before Dr. Bruch spoke, a colleague speak
ing at the same place declared that mans
body is not equipped to cope with today's
unprecedented worries, pressures and
stress. But these are the very things
which we are now told are at the roots OF
obesity If so, why is 1t that we are not

The ICC and District Buses

The Interstate Commerce Commission S
refusal to approve discontinuance of the
curious transfer arrangement between the
Capital Transit Company and two Virginia
buslines serving the Pentagon and other
Federal buildings across the river is In
line with it's previous assumption of au-
thority in this matter. 1t, is an exercise
of authority that has been challenged by
the District Public Utilities Commission
and that has been attacked in suit filed
by Capital Transit in District Court.
The PUG and the Capital Transit Com
pany did not contest the jurisdiction of
the ICC over Capital Transit bus fares
when, during the war, buses of the local
company operated across the Potomac
River to Government Offices in Arlington.
The Capital Transit buses then were tech
nically engaged in interstate operations.
But when these District buses discon-
tinued service across the river, the 1CC
refused to give up its claim of jurisdiction
over Capital Transit fares, insofar as they
affect the bargain-rate joint transfer ar
rangement with Virginia buslines. Under
this plan, employees in the Pentagon,
NAVY 1llIlCh d1ll OV1lC1 CoSi Oh poAAoAASo
in nearby Virginia are permitted to buy
tickets at the rate of 1872 cents each, en-
titling them to transfer from District to
certain Virginia buses. The effect is to
discriminate in favor of one group which
can ride on District buses at less than even
the weekly rate charged other patrons OF
the Capital Transit Company. Both Capt.
tai Transit and the two Virginia lines
assert that the proceeds from the tickets
are inadequate to pay for the service. They
petitioned the ICC to abolish the ticket
plan Instead, the 1CC now proposes to
study the present fare and to consider,
also, a possible revision of the formula for
dividing the proceeds.
Meanwhile, the District PUG remains
convinced that the ICC is overstepping
its authority in retaining the tickets or
in considering any modification of it.
There are legal questions involved which
may be settled by the suit now pending
in District Court. 1t is safe to assume
that such controversies would be elimi-
mated for all time if there were Metro
politan Area Public Utilities Commission,
set up by compact among the District OF
Columbia, Virginia and Maryland. The
need for this REFORM long advocated by
The Star, grows as the area grows.

An American Manifesto
Rebirth of Comntern Calls for Proclamation Of Our
Own theological Standards
By Raymo ond MoIev

The average Americans thinking on foreign
affairs will be clarified by the creation Of the
new Conintern. He can view the new situa-
ton as challenge in q long political war
which need not become a shooting war. He
will sharpen his interest in helping Western
Europe. He will view with justified suspicion
left-wingers here who loudly declare that
American capitalism is rotten at the core
He will demand more positive action against
communism in America. And he will finally
believe that, If there are to be two theological
worlds, it is time to clarity and rationalize
what our side of the world stands for.
His conclusions ought to provide the prtn-
ciples through which we should mobilize our
selves for long political conflict.
There is no question about the challenge
which Russia and her satellites have offered.
The basis of the new manifesto is quite unlike
that of the old Comintern, which once called
itself the International of Deeds" It appealed
to the proletariat Of all countries. And Lenin,
its high priest, called for the end of the
state" and hence of all old concepts OF
nationalism and sovereignty. The new Com
intern pictures the same enemy, capitalist
imperialism" But its appeal is to nationalism,
national sovereignty and democracy"
Against this torrent of propaganda, Ameri-
cans, together with free people everywhere,
must build their defenses. Our aid to the
nations of Western Europe ought to take on
more positive form. 1t cannot be mere dole
to more-or-less shaky governments which offer
us no assurance that they have a common
interest in the economic unif1cation of West
ern Europe. 1t Is not the mere reconstruction
Of Germany that we seek and the bolster1ng
of ti-Communist governments in Italy and
France. The concept OF Western Europe must
be an economic union built around the great

Whut-No Needle?

The medical corpsmen in the Army and
Navy who seem to get so much pleasure
out of sticking needles In enlisted men and
oficers-especially ofacers-are not going
to like DR.. Edward B. Tuohy's new tangled
hypospray. Not that this revolutionary
method of injecting "shots" through the
skin is any less efficient and effective than
the customary hypodermic needle. 1t is
probably more so. But it is entirely
painless.
If the Army. Navy and Air Force should
substitute this new high-pressure spray
gadget for hypo needles, what fun will
there be for the needle welding boys? No
longer would they gleefully 60 about their
work of daubing alcohol on sensitive
spot, jabbing saberlike needle up to the
hilt and pumping the plunger with a
vengeance-while the victims vince and
groan and sometimes pass out. Instead
they would take little gadget resembling
flashlight, load it with charge of serum,
place the business end of the instrument
against the skin and press the trigger.
Instantly the serum would be injected into
the tissues in the form of spray propelled
by compressed air, without hurting the
patient or leaving visible puncture.
That would mean a cheerful line of pro-
spective shot recipients instead of the usual
collection of reluctant, worried and pale
subjects. What satisfaction would this
namby-pamby method provide for q
needle -jabber who dislikes colonels in gen.
eral and one in particular? How would
the morale Of the hypo brigade be main
tanned If their victims enjoyed meeting
them at the lineup? If, instead OF yelling
"ouch, you're killing mel" they remarked,
Wow, that tickles"? This would be carry
ing scientific warfare pretty far Hardly
anything would be left then for the corps
men to torture GIs with but castor oil,
iodine and throat .swabs. The effect on
recruiting should be tremendous, however
a fact that cannot be disregarded In
weighing the military possibilities of Dr..
Tuohy's novel device.
