Pacifying the Arabs

HANDLING ARAB CHIEFTAINS is
something at which the British have
long been adept. We ourselves haven't
done badly in recent years. The sys-
tenn is a combination of browbeat and
baksheesh. All during World War I,
Arab chieftains were kept in line by
constant stream of British silver. Dur
ing World War II their baksheesh went
under a different name-oil royalties.
Today, the kings of Arabia are
just as dependent on us as we are
on their oil-only more SO. They
don't want francs, pounds, or even
rubles in payment for oil-only
dollars. Without dollars their des-
ert monarchies would go up in
dust.
This leads to Palestine remedy.
Some years ago Herbert Hoover pro-
posed that the Tigris and Euphrates
valleys be developed by irrigation and
water power, making them-as in the
days of the Garden of Eden-one Of
the garden spots of the world.
Hoover's proposal now could be car
ried out for the benefit of the Arabs
and as a means of counterbalancing
Arab claims in Palestine. The projects
could be financed from the vast profits
of the Arabian-American Oil company.
In other words, we pay off the Arabs
for their equity in Palestine by setting
up a new irrigated homeland for them
in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.

The so Nothing Boys"

WHEN THE LAST SESSION of
Congress adjourned in July with one of
the worst "do-nothing" records in his
tory, Republican apologists freely pre-
dicted that the next session, beginning
in January, would be one of the busiest
and most productive. G. o. P. leaders,
it was explained, wanted to chalk up a
good legislative record to show the
voters next November.
Here is the Merry Go-Round fore
cast on what Congress will do about
major legislation:
PRICE CONTROLS action.
FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION
This legislation, providing for an in
crease in teachers pay and other pur-
poses, will be enacted by congress after
a hot battle.
MARSHALL PLAN-Despite heated
opposition, congress finally will ap-
prove expenditure of S5,300,000,0
RENT CONTROLS-The present in
adequate system of rent control will
be extended for another year.
MILITARY TRAINING-No action.
HOUSING-Despite the continu-
ing shortage of adequate low cost
housing, the Taft-Ellender- Wagner
housing bill will be kept in a deep
freeze by congressional leaders. So
will national health insurance leg
islation to provide low-cost medi-
cal care for the general public.
TAXES-The Republican $500 mil
lion dollar tax-reduction bill, which has
passed the House, will be reduced to 4
billion dollars in the Senate. Despite
Senate changes President Truman will
veto the tax bill and unless Republican
leaders write an excess-profits tax into
the measure to make it more attractive
to Democrats and G. o. P. liberals,
Senate leaders will not be able to mus
ter the two-thirds majority needed to
override the Presidents veto.

sets, the state from which it wrung
its independence only after the
sons of Maine performed brilliantly
in both the Revolutionary war
and the War of 1872. Maine was ad-
mitted into the Union as state in
1920.
STEPPED in History.
Although Maine was visited as
early as 1896 by Sebastian Cabot
and perhaps even earlier by the
NorSemen - it was not until 1907
that the first colony was attempted
by the British when George Popham
and Raleigh Gilbert founded a set
Element which was short-ived at the
mouth of the Sagadahoc. In 1913
French Jesuits established a mis-
sion that lasted only a year on
Mount Desert island. But slowly
and surely settlements were made,
small towns existed and Maine, a
part of Massachusetts, managed to
make its own history.
Maine was first in the United
States to build a church, first to
build blOckhOuse, first to build
ship. The first chartered city
in the United States was found
ed in 1641 in the present town
of York and called Gorgeanna.
The first naval engagement Of
the Revolutionary war was
fought off Machias. Off Mon
hogan island was fought the
historic battle between the En-
terprise and Boxer in the War
of 1872. The first European set
Element north of North Caro-
lima was made by the French
at St. CrOix island in 1904. After
all, Maine is old - older than
the Plymouth Rock landing of
the Pilgrims. Through the three
centuries and more which have
followed, Maine has been one of
our most historically interest
ing states.
1.-THE Maine Woods" - magic
words! Maine is heavily wooded,
mostly with coniferous trees. Its At
lantic shoreline is irregular, fringed
by islands, indented by numerous
bays. 1t has a shore line of 1000
miles, although straight line would
show little more than one-tenth that
distance. Its entire shoreline is pic
turesque, much of it bordered by
sandy beaches with thick forests
reaching to the waters edge. There
are more good harbors on the coast
of Maine than on the coast of any
other state on the Atlantic seaboard.
Land of Variety.
Maine is variety. Its waters abound
in fish. Its forests are filed with
game. Its climate is intensely cold

county holds the worlds record in
BURBERRY production. Aroostook is
the principal wheat-growing county
of the state. The Mcintosh apple
grown in Maine is widely known for
its excellence. A recent census cred
tied Maine with leading all other
New England states in production
of potatoes, apples, hay, oats, bar
ley, sweet corn, wheat, eggs, butter,
buckwheat, plums, dried fruits and
vinegar. 1t is little wonder that
Maine farms are more free from
mortgage debt than are those OF
any other of the 81 northern statesl

forests are more than beautiful

Der is tremendous. Among its
wood products are clOthespins,
spools, bowels, bobbins, mallets,
tool handles, furniture, toys,
barrels, boxes, casks, floor
ing, Grating, meat blocks, ship
timber and scores of other arti-
cles.
In addition to wood products,
Maine factories turn out metals and
machinery, brick and clay products,
clothing, shoe findings, snow plows,
cement and hundreds of other util-
ity items. The electric cranes in use
on the Balboa docks of the Panama
canal were made in Maine. Rock
land and Rockport are the largest
lime producers in the east. Maine
granite is used to pave streets and
build houses all along the Atlantic
coast. India considers Maine-made
cotton twill one of the best for tropi-
cal wear. Along the rivers are
many water-power driven textile,
tanning, oilcloth, boot and shoe, can

The sportsman finds the game he
wants in Maine, too. Deer is by far
the most important game animal,
but there is much grouse shooting.
The black bear is at home in Maine,
as well as many other fur-bearing
animals. The woodcock breeds
over nearly all the state. Pheasants
are being released along the coastal
areas where there is less snow than
farther north. Native black ducks,
together with flights from the north,
make duck hunting popular sport.

Sportsmen Hear Conservationist


A large group of fishermen heard
Clarence F. Clark, fish management
agent for Northwestern Ohio, dis
cuss the Buckeye fish program at the
meeting Of the Bluffton Sportsmen's
Club Monday night.
In regards to the condition at the
Buckeye quarry and loss of fish life
at certain periods each year Clark
explained there are many reasons
causing a lack of oxygen in the water
which destroys the balance necessary
for fish life.
In his opinion decaying vegetable
matter uses up the greatest amount
of oxygen. Decaying leaves, branches,
trees, rusting metal, and concentra-
tions of fish and other marine life all
consume oxygen.
Incoming springs are practically
devoid of oxygen, he stated. The fact
that the quarry is we'll sheltered de-
prives the body of water from wind
and wave action which could supply
oxygen. Lack of sufficient plant life
is another factor. Snow-covered ice
in winter also retards oxygen produc-
tion in plant life, he stated.
Means of aereating the water
caused considerable discussion. Clark
stated that any method which would
agitate the water would be benefi-
clal in adding to the oxygen supply.
Use of outboard motors to churn
the water, spraying the water in the
air, diverting a small stream into the
quarry, providing the stream had an
adequate oxygen content, would all
be beneficial in relieving the situa-
| tion.
A program of removal of leaves as
they accumulate in the water would
be of great benefit. A large amount
of decaying matter on the bottom of
the quarry uses up oxygen as it is
disturbed by the movement of water
from bottom to surface as weather
conditions change. Chilled water on
the surface sinks to the bottom and
causes the rotation.
Apparently no one thing can be
done to alleviate the situation entire
ly, but combination of many plans
for adding oxygen to the water may
| bring about a balanced condition
again.
Clark concluded his talk with a
recommendation that an analysis for
oxygen content be conducted period
ically so that trouble can be averted
before it starts.
Sportsmen club directors plan a
| thorough program of investigation
and establishing a plan to aid the
situation before additional restocking
is attempted.

gave the main address of the evening
to the sportsmen and talked later to
the town council. Clark discussed the
condition at the Buckeye quarry last
fall when thousands of fish had to be
transported to other bodies of water
after the quarry became depleted of
oxygen.
