Egypt Stricken

Cholera, the dreaded black pla que
is spreading so swiftly in Egypt that
a total of 5000 dead has been pre-
dicted by years end.
With many stricken villages iso-
lated by troops, other small COM
munities are ringed with bonfires
day and night in the belief that fire
will keep out the disease.
Meanwhile, neighboring nations
were taking steps to prevent the
spread of cholera from the upper
Nile valley. Greece, Italy and Pales-
tine have discontinued international
traffic, while private shipping lines
will bypass Egyptian ports and air
travel is diverted away from Egypt.

disease is at minimum in Egypt

FINAL TOUCHES:
Marshall Plan

After caroming from praise to
criticism to condemnation for the
past few months, the celebrated
Marshall plan to help Europe re.
gain it's feet is being whipped into
final shape under direction of Secre-
tary of State George Marshall, its
progenitor.
One known fact loomed large in
the mind of the American taxpayer:
The plan may cost up to 20 billion
dollars for the four-year period dur
ing which it will be in effect.
Marshall, who abandoned tempo
rarily his debating in the U. N. gen.
eral assembly, returned to his
Washington Office to put the finish
ing touches on his plan, which will
be laid before congress when the
special session opens November II.
The Marshall plan, subject to late
revisions, may be outlined broadly
in these main points:
I U. S. would make available to
l. Europe next year a combination
of relief and recovery supplies total
ling about six billion dollars. Relief
supplies (food) would be free; re-
covery supplies (machinery) would
be financed with loans.
= Because of shifting conditions,
~ it will be impossible accurately
to forecast the amount of help Eu-
rope will need beyond the first year.
7 Sums from the U. S. would de-
-. crease each year as recovery
progress was made.
n The plan would be administered
T. in the U. S. by a new govern
ment agency and in Europe by an
organization representing the 16 ma
tions which drew up their estimate
Of needs at the Paris conference.

big United States loan, has been
arranged.
In the meantime, considerable
work is being done on refinement Of
detailed designs, improvement of a
master system for circulating peo-
pie and vehicular traffic through the
international zone and on prelimi-
nary surveys regarding interior de-
sign and furnishings.
Officials say u. N. may decide to
follow the example set by the
League Of Nations and accept fur
nishings from each member coun-
try, each nation contributing a
product for which it is faknous-liks

favors an even tougher policy than
the state department is following.
Answers to the question, 'Do you
think that in dealing with Russia
and other countries the U. S. is in
sisting too much on having its own
way?" were: Yes, IL per cent; No,
78 per cent; No opinion, 10 per cent.
Further, 62 per cent of the Ameri-
can people believe that the U. S. is
being too soft in its policy toward
Russia. Only per cent think it is
being too tough, and "a per cent say

FOOD PUZZLE
Meat Us. Wheat

Domestic food situation in the
u. S. is entering a critical stage,
with two aspects standing out in
sharp opposition to each other:
I The government, determined to
L. ship 500 million bushels of
wheat to Europe by next June, is
campaigning to save a major por-
ton of that amount by cutting down
on the feed consumption of cattle,
hogs and poultry. That line of
reasoning holds that smaller fiocks
and feeding to lighter weights will
save more grain than any other sim
gle effort.
, The supply of meat is going to
H' be considerably less than it has
been and the demand will be great
er. Meat prices are expected to go
much higher in 1948. Further cur
tailment of meat production by saw
ing grain at the feed trough will
intensity that already serious stu
alton.
There is no danger of bread or
food shortage of any kind this win
ter because Of the nations bumper
wheat harvest. The pinch, if it
comes, will appear after the middle
Of next year, precipitated by cur
rently threatening drouth and fail
ure Of the winter wheat crop.
Added to that is the fact that do
mestic uses, plus exports, will leave
from this years harvest of Ia bill
lion bushels only a 100 million
bushel carryover by the time of
the next harvest - too small vol
ume in the event of short crop.
Meat, which right now is a little
cheaper than it has been because
more animals are being slaugh-
tered, will continue in great de-
mand next year because consumer
buying power will remain high.
The supply, however, will be less.
The agriculture department esti-
mates there will be only 21.5 bill
lion pounds of meat produced in
1948, compared to 1872 billion
pounds this year. There will be 4
million fewer cattle on farms next
January than last January, small
er hogs will be sent to market and
there will be no increase in the
stocks of sheep. which are at an
80-year low.

Party Machinery

Democratic party machinery has

it was discovered that Roosevelt's
coat-tails were no longer strong
enough to put local candidates
into office. Gradually, precinct, city.
county and state organizations be-
gan to take far more interest in
electing local officers than they
were in working together as unit
for the national candidate. In Roose-
velt's case, that was hardly neces-
sary. And the White House got into
the habit of thinking 1t wasn't nec-
essary to do much for the local peo-
pie either. So the gulf widened.
1t is true that real ben-ringing
was carried on by the left wing or
ganized around the GIO-PAC, but
in some cases this support proved
the kiss of death. The Democratic
machine will have to work for the
cooperation of Wallace and the
present offshoots of CIO-PAC be-
cause it cannot afford to ALLEVIATE
that type of support. Gallup month
or so ago reported in survey Ct

of the American people favored

OF course, much depends on
who becomes the Republican
candidate for president. That
is the reason that the pOssibil-

mansion.

est point In 10 years. Three weeks
later, the survey was confirmed at
the polls with election of sRepub-
ican congress.
But today, Mr.. Truman's popular
ity is way up. A year ago the score
was SO to 47 in favor of the Re-
publicanS; in the last count it was
56 to a in favor Of the Democrats.
On the question: ''DO you ap-
prove or disapprOve Of the way
Mr.. Truman is handling his job
aS President?" the scOrebOard
said: Approve - 55 per cent
DisapprSVe-29 per cent. The
rest expressed no opinion.
Much water has flowed over the
dam since the two polls were taken.
More will flow; and, at any rate,
no poll can measure the imponder-
ables facing the Democrats. They
have been going through a whole
cycle of hopes and fears. The Octo-
Der poll may have been almost as
surprising as pleasing to party lead
ers. They know there must be an
end to all things. and it is pretty
hard to prove that the stream has
not been crossed and that the voters
who used, sometimes, to elect Re-
publican presidents, still shudder
at the danger of changing horses.
The one biggest abstract obstacle
to the election of the Democratic
president is the fact that, the Demo-
Gratis have just been around too
long. Undoubtedly the biggest con-
crete threat is General Eisenhow-
er. When that atomic boom first
threatened to break, the President
was on the high seas, but the de-
tails were reported to him blow by
blow-and it was quite a blow.
Probably the next biggest
headache is the internal cOndi-
ton Of the party. After long
delay and much dissatisfaction,
q new national chairman, Sen.
Howard McGrath (Dem., R.I.)
was selected, and welcomed in
most quarters. He has job cut
out for him because the Demo-
cratic machine has grown very
rusty in the last years, and it
is not only rust which has cor
rupted.
Nor is it the machine alone that
creaks. Will-o-the-wisp Wallace with
his constant threat of a third party
is threat to the Democratic party
itself. Nobody believes that a third
party candidate could possibly be
elected as things stand now.
But did you ever see that traffic
safety slogan: Don't try to guess
what child will do?" Democratic
leaders are up against the same
thing. They don't dare guess what
that problem child, Henry Wal
lace, will do. He is quite capable
of going ahead and starting a third
party with the full knowledge that
it couldn't accomplish anything but
the election of a Republican presi-
dent.
A third party would have not
