FOOD WASTE:
Rats, Insects

Although the world is crying for
food, hundreds of thousands of tons
Of American foodstuffs are spoiled
each year by the de%predations Of
rats, mice and insects-and often by
the carelessness Of some producers.
Food and drug administration Of
ficials say the amount Of so-called
filthy food" they destroy every
year is enough to contribute very
substantially" to the hungry areas
of the world.
Filthy food" is the legal term
for food spoiled by Contamination
Of rats, mice, insects or other re-
pulsive foreign bodies" 1t is the job
of the food and drug administration
to find and condemn filthy food in
the channels of interstate commerce
and to prosecute those responsible.
Since FDA's power to condemn
filthy foods at their destination was
taken away a year ago, officials
estimate that, as a result, 20 tons
of such food appears in retail outlets
day.

Meat Supply

There is one vast source of meat
maybe an inexhaustible one-that
the US. public might have to con-
slider seriously if beef and pork be-
come as scarce and expensive as 1t
is predicted they will:
Rabbits.
That is a department of agricul-
ture idea. The department sug-
gested that the American people
take up the raising of rabbits as q
supplementary source of meat to exc
out the usual protein fare, destined
to become more scarce and costly.
National rabbit week, which was
observed during the week following
Easter, would be "a good time" for
families to plan to produce a year
round supply of this white, deli
cately favored, nutritious meat,
comparable to breast of chicken"
the department limited.
What does one need to begin rails
ing rabbits? Just rabbits.

TRIESTE:
Surprise

In a nov that surprised every
n from the Russians to American
congressman, the US. proposed
jointly with France and Britain that
the free territory of Trieste be re-
turned to Italy.
Trieste, long a storm center COW
eted by both Italians and Yugoslavs,
had been made a free state under
United Nations guidance in the six
months-old Italian peace treaty.
The proposal was, apparently, a
shrewd and calculated move to try
to help the anti-C Communist forces
in Italy win the April 10 election.
1t literally put the Russians on
the spot, leaving them with little
choice of reaction. If they support
the western powers proposal to re-
turn Trieste to Italy they will be, in
effect, turning their backs on their
previous arguments for a Yugoslav
Trieste, thereby kicking their Yugo-
slav cohorts in the face.
On the other hand, if Russia were
to side with Yugoslavia it would
amount to a rebuff for the Italian
Communists. Possession of Trieste
is a great political issue in Italy,
and it well may turn out now to
be a deciding factor in the elections
coming up there.
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, how
ever, lost little time in answering
the proposal of the us, Britain and
France. He simply rejected the de-
mand and proposed instead that a
plebiscite be held in the free state
of Trieste to decide whether it should
be Italian or Yugoslav.
Moscow diplomats were calling
the action another move toward
war" Said me-: THE beginnings
of international order which emerged
after the war are being destroyed"
But to those who were working
tooth and nail against the spread of
communism it looked like a master
one which might keep Italy
and all of western Europe out Of
reach of the Kremlin.

eve must be prepared to pay
the price Of peace OF assuredly
we shall pay the price Of war;"
Those words, spoken by President
Harry Truman to the U. S. con-
gress, could be the seeds of the first
genuine, effective foreign policy
this nation has had for half a CEN
fury.
Disregarding any political over
tones there might have been in the
Presidents speech, his address to
the joint session of congress re-
Elected the realization at the top
level of government that any sue
cessful foreign policy must be based
on the fundamental concept Of strik-
ing a balance between commitments
abroad and the national security
or strength at home available to
back up those commitments.
BY definition, the term foreign
policy" implies that any nation ex-
pressing such a policy possesses the
strengthen military forces and ALI
ances-to follow it consistently at all
times and to defend it just as con-
~sistently in case of war.
In that connection Mr.. Truman
specifically asked C 6 ress for
power to draft men to build armed
strength against the ruthless agrees
sion of Soviet communism.
He asked also for prompt enact
ment of universal training legisla-
tion," indicating that the draft should
be only temporary until universal
military training is giving the coun-
try the trained men it needs.
Finally, he sought swift passage
of the 5.3-billion-dollar European
recovery program the Marshall
plan for economic recovery of west
ern European nations which is set
ting the Kremlin's teeth on edge.
Bluntly the President ~upbraided
Russia for making a travesty of
peace:
Zone nation has not only refused
to cooperate in the establishment of
a just and honorable peace, but
even worse-has actively sought to
prevent it."

ABOUT FACE:
E1pedience

To many persons it looked as
though the United States, in aban-
doning its support of the Palestine
partition plan, had pulled a "Pon-
thus Plate" on the same
where the procurator of Judea had
washed his hands not quite 1000
years ago to sanction the Cruel
fixion.
In reversing it's role in the par
tition struggle, the us. proposed
that the Holy Land be made a
United Nations t~rusteeship, giving
Jews and Arabs a chance to reach
agreement on their own concerning
the future Of their country's gov
eminent.
Warren r. Austin, American dele
gate to the U.N., said that it was
obvious that partition could not be
carried out except by force, and
the us. consistently has demurred
against the idea of sending troops
to Palestine.
1t was ironic that the American
statement Withdrawing support from
the partition plan was undoubtedly
the death blow to that plan which
never would have been adopted by
the U.N. in the first place if it had
not been for American pressure and
influence.

the taxpayers come in.
That is the present outlook for

Western Pact

Lending force to Mr.. Truman's
scattering of the seeds of foreign
policy was the fact that, an hour
before he delivered his pronounce
ment, the just-completed five-nation
western European pact for common
defense against attack had been an
nounced officially.
Under the treaty, Britain, France,
Belgium, Luxembourg and the Meth
erlands pledged nj another military
aid in the event that any one of them
should be attacked.
According to the new Truman
doctrine" the United States would
be the principal %guarantor of this
five-power union. Without such a
guarantee of US. backing, the west
ern European treaty would be
meaningless.
BY his declaration in support OF
the western European pact Mr.. Tru-
man seemed to be guiding the us.
to a point of departure from its his
toric adherence to the diplomatic
enormity of refusing to engage In
"entangling alliances" even at the

ton to prevent such a development.
Best opinion holds that, while Rus
STA is not now seeking war, the
Communists have created a kind of
Frankenstein monster in Europe
that at any moment could plunge
out of control and involve the world
in another conflict. Secretary of
State Marshall is said to feel this
way:
The Soviets are motivated by a
sense of urgency to act before the
European recovery program begins
to function and before the union of
western European nations is firmly
established. Driven by this feeling
of urgency, the Soviets may not be
able to avert an incident which
would lead to a shooting war.

III Pct. Fail TO Pass
Draft Tests Here

Seventy-seven per cent Of the Dis
trict draft registrants now fail te
pass preinduction physical ano
mental examinations, compared
with a current national rejection
rate of 10 per cent, it was revealed
today.
Although District draft officials
expressed some concern about the
unusually high rate, Frank D. Nor
ton, deputy director, said they would
be able to fill the December quota
of rs men from registrants already
classified la by local boards.
The rejection rate, roughly dou'
BILE the wartime rate OF 35.8 pei
cent, is probably due to the fac'
that most of those now being ex'
amined are in the "a and Is veal
old groups.
The Army is planning to get most
of its recruits from those registrants
under % years and Col. Walter S
Welsh, District draft manpower di-
vision head, said the rejection rate
would drop when induction of those
in the lower age brackets begins
A large number of those being
examined now are men who were
looked over and turned down fol
physical reasons during the war
Three more men will be inducted
here next Tuesday to fill this

men to be inducted next month will

mander of the 9Th Army, said the

the seven men will be given "a rea-
sonable time" before they are
hanged, presumably at Sugamo
Prison in Tokyo. Only official wit
nesses will be allowed. Correspond
ents will be barred. Gen. Walker

Commenting on the prospective

Walker said: II have been ordered
by my commander in chief to pro-
ced with the executions. No one
can keep me from doing it until he
changes his orders"
Defense attorneys indicated they
will appeal to the high court on
grounds that Gen. Macarthur as
an agent OF the United States
Government convened the court,
which was in fact a military court
although it bore the title of "In-
ternational Military Tribunal for
the Far East" The attorneys argue
no international agreement by
treaty was reached on the trial of
japanese war criminals before Gen.
Macarthur designated the tribunal
and set up its charter. Therefore,
they argue, the tribunal was an
American military court.
Guilty of Grimes Against Peace"
None of the seven sentenced to
death are included in the five ex-
pected to appeal. The five were
convicted of crimes against peace"
The defense lawyers say there is no
such law on American statutes or
under the United States Constitu-
ton and therefore they were
sentenced to prison under a law
that does not exist. The seven
condemned men were convicted of
violating the laws of war, recognized
as punishable by death by military
tribunals.

case with a plea to people Of all

High Court Appeal Planned.
Attorneys for five defendants
planned to appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, which has
never yet intervened in international
war crimes cases.
Gen. Macarthur, in his statement
said he saw no reason for him to
intervene. Whether the prisoners
should have been prosecuted at all
was not for him to say. But the
two-year trial itself, he went on, was
a fair one; every safeguard was
made to "evolve justice"
Il therefore direct the command
ing general of the 9th Army to
execute the sentences as pronounced
by the tribunal.
I'm doing SO. I pray that an ON
nipotent providence may use this
tragic expiation as a symbol to
summon all persons of good will to
a realization Of the utter futility of
war-that most maglignant scourge
of mankind-and eventually to its
Pronunciation by all nations"
Those sentenced to death were

at the outbreak of war; Gen. Kenji
