before she crosses" pointed out Mr.
Brunson. Then, in the middle OF
the street, Knee-Hi rolled over and
lay still, and her master warned,
That's what can happen if you are
careless" Later, the dog proved she
would not go into the street between

Mansfield Cheered.
A cheer went up for Inspector
Mansfield when he appeared to
greet the citizens of the area where
he was q precinct captain for 10
years.
Its a real pleasure to return to
No. Precinct and Trinidad" said
The Star safety director, who since
his retirement has devoted his time
to giving safety chalk talks in the
schools. TITS a pleasure to help in
struct Knee-Hi so she can teach
safety, too," he added.
Let me remind you Of the things
she won't do. She won't go between
parked cars, or ride on the handle
bars of bicycles, or cross at any place
except the corner, or play in the
street. She's showing you just the
way to play safe yourselves"
One small boy showed he was
learning the lesson. Scurrying to
find a better vantage point, he
started to go out into the street,
then turned around and said to his
buddy, Nope, I'm not going between
parked cars

STUDENT MISSIONARIES

Mutual understanding is two-way ocean. That is why is important that European students visit ing in the United States this is that Amer can students are again landing in Europe.
 Both hosts and visitors will do well to look beyond superficial appearances.
 The 73 foreign graduate students from 17 nations currently at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will learn, it may be hoped, more than the United States latest technical advances Some of them come from "iron curtain areas As valuable any technical information they might take home with them in Sep- tenber would be the conviction that behind the glitter and dazze the United States is willing to cooperate for peace as to fight for it.
 The 3OO-odd American graduate students and teach woh participating in tWo-month University of Vermont tour of the Marshall Plan in action will have opportunities both as students and as missionaries.
 Sharing the same food, housing, and general living conditions as the and of the ERP countries for two months will not in itself deeper under standing of European problems. But it should help. Their intelligent interest could do much to encourage Europeans to realize that Americans have genuine conern for their problems.
 Although these exchanges represent only micro scopc proportion of the total populations involved they nevertheless indicate flowing of interest across oceans that adds to the understanding between nations.

among European buyers and sellers themselves
 Granted that customs unions cannot be created in day, or cratic money rates brought into line night the Western Europeans must start in that drec tion soon if they to arrive.
 Even if they do their part fully there will be two problems beyond their control One if the East-West split which sewers part of nterdependent Europe from the other The other is American price imitation, which is cutting the purchasing power of Marshall Plan appropriations.
 But these obstacles to full European recovery, which America is trying to overcome make it all the inn perative that the Marshall Plan nations get with their part of the job quickly as possible.

WHEN IS A FACT?
Christian Science MOnitOr)

! In the old days when tariff schedules put to- gether by friendly legislative game known logroll ng statistics tossed hitehr and yon with delight full disregard of their authenticity. Times apparently haven't changed where the tariff is an issue
 During the debate in Congress certain Republicans asserted that their refusal to extend unchanged the Re- cprocal Trade Agreements Act "a necessary un- dertaking to American labor from the competi ton of pauper labor in other lands To which Repre- sentative Harold Knutson added the statistical bit that already 5000 shoe workers at Lynn, Mass out of work and that another 3OOOO soon would be walking the streets"
 To reader of newspaper in Montana, who had just paid $15 for pair of shoes which not long ago $850 this didn't make sense He wrote and asked for the facts.
 i This is what investigation on the ground turned up about the situation as of few days ago:
 There only some 32OO employed in the shoe factories of Lynn during 947 Obviously double that number couldn't be unemployed now).
 Out of 50000 workers in all Massachusetts, 5000 were working part time; about 2O0O unemployed
 The of the layofs? Industry representatives ascrbed them to CD high labor costs cheaper wo- mems shoes (2) competition from shoe manufacturers in other states, (3) the usual annual slack season. Il On the basis of this picture about all can see for MT. Knutson and his associates to do about Lynns ghostly unemployed when Congress meets again is to | CD reduce by law the wages of Massachusetts shoe workers, CD set up system of protective tariffs within the United States that the pauper labor of | say Pennsylvania Florida, and New Hampshire can't l undercut the price of Massachusetts shoes.

WANTED: MORE ERP DRIVE
(By Jack Foster)

Administrator Paul Hoffman at the Paris conference is reminding Marshall Plan governments of some of the facts of life. If they don't keep their part of the bar gain the flow of dollars from America eventually will be shut off The warning is needed:
 To say that MT. Hoffman is getting tough with them would miss the point On the contrary, he is most sym pathetic He is merely being fair to all concerned in pointing out while there is yet tme that the Marshall Plan in letter and spirit is program of self-hep.
 Unless they can make the dollars multiply in their economy lubrcating their stalled machinery for much bigger production and wider trade the whole thing will be flop This requires courage, initiative, and skill too often lacking in the past Above all, it means vautng national barriers, which cramp the minds and impoverish the business life of separate countries, to achieve European economy
 Just as the individual 48 states of American union could not survive much less prosper if cut off from each other, so European recovery depends on rapid development of interstate operations
 One of the worst difficulties of course, is the rency chaos Barter is not elastic enough for multiple foreign trade Until currencies be stabilized and monetary exchange ratios fixed in relationship to international purchasing power the Western European nations will continue to seek American supplies and markets while ignoring those nearer home.
 Far too much is being drained from America which should be produced and exchanged for mutual profit

Territorial Tax payers Association

al Taxpayers Association, an or ganization formed to study Alas ka's basic tax structure and to foster legislation designed to at tract new industry to Alaska, was announced by w. C. Stump, Ketchikan, attorney.
 The group is Territorial wide and the following well-knoWn AlaskanS are serving as the first board of directors:
 z. L. Loussac, mayor of An chorage; Dan Lhamon, Fairbanks; Henry Hogue, Juneau; Theodore Kettleson, Sitka; Emery F. To- bin, editor and publisher of the Alaska Sportsman, Ketchikan.
 w. C. Stump will act as execu- tive secretary.
 "As permanent residents of the Territory, we are vitally concern ed about the taxation base" Stump said. ''No one wants to pay more taxes but we recognize that the present needs of the Territory require more funds and the future development will not lessen that need. Studies should be completed and submitted to the people of the Territory regarding the financial needs of the Territory and the equitable distribution of the tax burden in the Territory. All pro- posed legislation should be stud jed with a view to it's effect on our tax problem. Legislation should be encouraged that will favor development of new indus try and not penalize private en- terprise."
 "The Territory today is in the position where it's entire future depends upon attracting new in dustry and developing our natur- al resources. Only a diversified economy is the solution to Alas ka's future and permanent popu- lation."
 Stump pointed out that Alaska must compete with other regions, including other foreign countries, who are eager to attract new in dustries. He pointed out the long fight that Southeastern Alaska has made to induce the pulp in dustry to utilize the perpetual supply of timber available in that area.
 Alaska has much to offer ven- ture capital-our natural resourc- eS are one of the greatest treas ures of our national economy" Stump continued. Before en- barking on venture in a new, untried field, investors demand that the taxation program be a fair, equitable one. They want to be sure that tax laws don't make it impossible for them to get a fair return for their savings. That is the basis for our American sys- tenn of free enterprise. The resi- dents of Alaska must carefully consider any legislative program in this light"
 The new Association is inter- ested in receiving pertinent infor- nation on the subject of taxes from any interested citizens or groups. The association has con- tacted the Tax Foundation, Inc, of New York, a national philan- th r0raic orn rizntia., ...h;ol, ...o,.lzs
