Paging Monroe!

 Facing much more serious problems, the world is taking scan notice of several accumulated territorial grievances in the Western Hemisphere But they are the very stuff of which the Monroe Doctrine is made. And it is quite possible they will lead to a few skirmshes and compel the attention of the United Nations
 Guatemala has contended for long time that the territory of Belize, British Honduras, belongs rightfuly to her Never having been able to muster the force prestige to make the argument stick, Guatemala has not forced the issue And never hav- ing the cordial support of the United States the Guatemaans could not involve the Monroe Doctrine.
 Now, it appears the Guatemalans have taken note of the fact that Britain has given up Burma and India and Ceylon, and is preparing to abandon Palestine If the British Empire is breaking up so easily, the Guatemalans seemingly have reasoned they might well stand by to pick up Belize when it falls away. Certainly there other takers. Travellers who have taken a good look at Belize are not disposed to urge their home governments put in a claim for it.
 The Falkland Islands, well off the Argentine coast another disputed which finds Argentina perssting in a claim against Great Britain This issue has been argued back and forth through the decades in desultory fashion. And that Argen- tina is under the rigorous discipline of strong with pretensons to the status of great power there signs of new pressure on the British.
 Chile also is in the game, making strong bid for sector of the Antarctic continent. Whether this in the Western Hemisphere, and therefore covered by the Monroe Doctrine geographers and international lawyers might dispute for years.
 The stakes not large in any of these con- troversies although they may loom up importantly for the smaller nations concerned. And until there is more trouble than has developed so far, the world community undoubtedly will continue to look steadily in the other direction with eyes for graver problems in areas of more strategic importance

WAVE OF REVENGE

But they will not be used against any enemy in any surprise move To do so would be against the Christian concepts of humanity also against the century-and-a- half tradition of the United States that we have never attack ed another nation.
 Furthermore, for the United States to get the jump on the en- emy by dropping the A-bomb would mean such revulsion of world feel ing that we would lose our pres ent moral position in Europe, also start wave ot hatred in Russia bound to result in return war of revenge.
 The history of every war is that when people consider themselves wronged, they bide their time and build up their resources until they can come back at their conqueror.
 Another important point consid- cred by U. s. defense chiefs is the fact that the Russians have now obtained all the secrets of German submarines, will undoubt- edly use them to release rockets at major U. s. cities.
 Toward the close of the war the German sub could breathe under water and had g rubber skin which made radar detection difficult. They could also travel at the amazing speed of IS knots sub merged. These priceless secrets all fell into Russian hands.
 As result, Russian subs today could come close to American cit ies with V-2 rockets aboard, to be launched against U. S. cities from submarine decks.
 These gruesome prospects are some of the things U. s. strategists necessarily must consider. They feel there is no use shutting our eyes to them, in fact, that if we pre- pare to meet them, the prospects of war with Russia will be lessen ed.
 Though President Truman focused attention on the need of manpower, one overlooked fact is Army equipment Much of it is out-of date. Of the S1l billion for defense in 1948, the Army got only S3 billion, of which S2 billion paid the cost of occupying Japan, Germany and Korea. Result: Not a single new piece of equipment has been bought since V-J Day:

Idaho Set For
 Annual Dog Derby

ASHTON, Idaho, (P)-A seven dog team of Targhee hounds rated the favorite's spot today as this tiny eastern Idaho community waited the "come on" call for the l948 all-American dog derby.
 Thirteen teams - eight in the derby and five in the husky race are entered.
 Ten inches of new snow in yes terday's storm brougrt smiles to derby officials faces after a Sat urday night rain softened the pre- viously well-packed course.
 The town was crowded. Race of ficials predicted 10000 spectators would watch the l0-mile derby, scheduled to start about pm.
 A new derby champion was as Sured. The five-times winner Ev- erett Heseman withdrew his en- try last week when his lead dog developed a shoulder injury.
 That left the Targhee hounds of Austin Medley of Drummond in the favorite'S spot. Medley finished second to Heseman in l946 and again in 1947.

Commodities Take Steady Decline
Continued from Page OneJ

Continued from Page One)
 The government bureau found the biggest drops in pork chops, lard, bacon, eggs, and lettuce. Prices for fresh fruits and vege- tables rose, the report said.
 Price cuts have differed widely between cities and between stores in the same city. Some independ- ent grocers said they cut some prices to meet chain store compe- tition, regardless of profit mar gins. And Friday night the de- partment of agriculture at Wash ington attributed the price break in commodity markets to these things:
 Prices had gone too high in view of remaining supplies and in view of the fact that export purchases were largely out of the way.
 Action of Congress requiring crop year-end reserve of 150,000,- 900 of wheat, which is almost dou- ble that of a year ago.
 Feeding of wheat so far this crop year has been lighter than had been expected.
 Market prices of grains were so high as to discourage feeding to livestock.
 January weather was favorable to the winter wheat crop, thus in dicating a possible good crop which would help ease the short age.
 Marked improvement in crop prospects in other parts of the world.

MANNING, Ia, (P) - A gang land-style shooting occurred on the streets of this quiet western Iowa town of 1900 last night.
 After felling their victim on q. main street with three shotgun blasts the assailants placed him in a car and drove off, Sheriff Tom J. Finegan reported.
 The identity of the principals was not known.

 The witnesses told the sheriff a tall man ran down the street, pur- sued by two others. One of the two fired three times with a 20-guage shotgun. The tall man fell. A car roared out of an alley and stopped alongside. The two assailants placed the fallen man in the car when they drove off. The sheriff said he found the empty shotgun shells in the street. No one has any lead who the men were, the sheiff added.
