WHAT'S COOKIN'2

/ We complain, and justly, about
our high prices of food, but for
those fortunate enough to have the
wherewithall, there is practically
everything in the markets to be
desired for the price.
But in England, one strip Of
bacon per week and one egg every
fortnight is the ration per adult.
England is doing her best to popu-
larize whale steak, but even it is
too expensive for working class
families.
1t is also against the law in Eng
land to purchase horse meat for
pets; it is only permitted for hu-
man consumption. Twenty cents
worth of meat per person is the
allotment per week and two ounces
Of cheese.
If we should go into meat ration
ing in April as suggested by Sen
ator Taft, and according to his plan
every adult is allowed to purchase
a maximum of $500 worth of meat
week, what happens to our $500
worth of meat if prices remain un-
lcontrolled-how much, or rather
how little will our $500 buy?
If we must go back to rationing,
the British plan is more fair, be-
cause the British have rigid price
control of meat to back up the
weekly amounts that may be
bought under their ration plan.
Our Department of Agriculture
reports that our spring pig crop
will be the smallest in 10 years,
resulting from the short 1947 corn
crop, being per cent smaller than

GLAMOR

Do you know that gray hair and
a mature figure can be a positive
asset for a woman who must have
a job? This cheerful little fact is
brought to light in a recent book,
Jobs for Women Over 35", by
Juliet X. Arthur.
That women past 50 do need to
work is emphasized by census fig
ures which show that more than 6
million of them are the chief wage
earners in their families. Mrs.
Arthur, in her book, points out
that for the older woman to get a
job she must have stability, adapta-
bility, vitality, and attractive ap-
pearance, poise and self-assurance.
She must also measure her own
abilities carefully against the cur
rent job possibilities. One of the
main errors to avoid is that 'of be-
ing willing to do anything" with
out having specific qualifications
to present.
Such jobs as insurance salesman
ship and real estate work give the
woman past 30 a positive advan-
tage over the younger women.

Those long so inch strands of
one size pearls are coming back
into style. Look in your jewelry
boxes and see if you don't find
some you've laid away long ago
and start wearing them in the new
fashion.
First try them as a belt with
a fussy afternoon or evening dress,
knotted at the waist. Or wind them
in two strands about the neck and
knot two loops, one in front and
one in back of your neck. Each lap
should be six or seven inches in
length. Or wear them triple strand
ed about the neck and tie a black
velve bow at the back.

(Rocky Mountain News)
 Paul G. Hoffman, the foreign aid administrator, has told delegation of Southern Congressmen and tobacco growers that he will the European recovery pro- gram to distort trade among nations abroad for the benefit of American producers.
 The delegation complained that European countries by buying tobacco from Greece, Turkey and Rhodesia cutting the export market for American tobacco It wanted Mr. Hoffman to do something about that. It gued that Congress- when it passed the European Re- covery Act intended that American products should be protected against development of unfavorabe foreign trade patterns.
 MT. Hoffman flatly rejected this argument. He said that he will not attempt to prevent European countries from using their currencies to buy tobacco and other commodities wherever they choose. He added:
 Tm sorry, gentlemen if you don't like it, but that where stand. don't believe that American industry and agriculture entitled to subsidy under this pro- gram. If that the intent of the law then don't be- long down here."
 MT. Hoffman is a successful American ndustrialist He has proved his deep for maintaining pros pery in the United States And by his statement the tobacco growers and their congressman think he has proved again that he belongs right where he ad ministrator of ERP.
 For, he said The most important thing earth is to keep the free nations unted That calls both for American prosperity and European recovery And Flu ropean recovery depends largely upon increasing trade among European nations in European products.

 dress, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey spoke earnestly and feelingly of the need of "a great European fed era ion," whose formation" he said, must be major objective of our American foreign policy"
 The governor went even fur ther. Praising the European recov- cry program as a great adven- ture," he argued that the ERP be used not only as an instrument to help restore the shattered ecOnO- mic systems of the participating nations but also as "menas for pushing, prodding and encourag- ingD them toward the federation goal.
 With all this few Americans, be they Republicans or Democrats, will quarrel.
 The need of such a federation at the moment more particularly of a federation of west European nationS-haS never been more ap- parent.
 The disunity that continues to plague Europe retards their econo- mic recovery and is a major fac tor behind their military weak ness.
 It is fair to recognize that the nations of western Europe have in creasingly recognized the urgent need of unity among them and have taken at least the first steps in that direction.
 At any other time but this, in fact, we would have reason to be encouraged by the progress al- ready made. The creation of the Belgium -NetherlandS-L customs union, the moves made in the direction of a similar arrange ment between France and Italy and the formation of the West Eu- ropean Union, consisting of Great Britain, France and the Benelux countries, are all constructive de- velopmentS pointing toward the goal envisaged by Governor Dewey.
 The same is true of the setting up of a five-poWer military high command by the western union bloc, with Viscount Field Mar shal Montgomery at it's head.
 It took six months for the latter arrangement to come into being. Many more months are, under the best of circumstances, likely to go by before the military power of the western union can begin to weigh in the scales.
 Even then, that may require not only a vast outlay of funds and productive resources which those nations badly need to achieve their economic recovery but also help from us.
 So far Washington has been si- lent on the subject of extending military aid, i. e., peace time lend lease, to nations whom we regard as potential allies in the event of another clash. Nor, in his Salt Lake City speech, did Governor Dewey touch upon this aspect of the de- veloping situation. Yet we cannot delay much longer graphing with this issue

"mperalists presumably reduced to state of atomic impotence the world would talk about treaty for the control of mass-de- struction weapons. In their new "compromse" offer, they suggest that these two matters be agreed upon simultaneously.
 Control" like so many words in the Soviet dicton- ary, however, has different meaning than in plain language of democracy To the Russians it does volve the three essential atomic safeguards demanded by the United States and supported by the rest of the non-Soviet world.
 These safeguards are, first international monop oy of ssionable materials and of all potentially dan gerOuS atomic processes second, foolproof system of inspection; and third Bernard Baruch declared in presenting the original American plan in June l946, "There must be veto to protect those who violate their solemn agreements not to develop or use atomic energy for destructive purposes
 When the Russians willing to come around on these points-whch incidentally, involve degree of international Socialism" beyond anything Karl Marx dreamed of-then shall at last be ready to control the atom. Until then so-caed compromises will be merely snOke-screenS to hide Russias continuing. fusal to get down to fundamentals.
 We need not and will not be frightened by the red faced fuinaons of Mr. Vishinsky with his assertions that Russia has already broken the U S. atomic monop oly He sounded for all the world like boastful school child's My dad can lick your dad"
 AS the able British delegate Hector McNeil told the United Nations, we don't know whether Russia has in ebomb or not On the other hand, everyone knows the United States has the bomb And equally everyone knows she is willing to make her information available for international control provided she obtains by ment reciprocity from other nations regarding nerna- tional control and inspection"
 The world is still confronted with what wise old Bar ney Baruch called "a choice between the quick and the dead" The failure to reach agreement wil if pur- sued lead to destructive and to the ultimate danger of atomic which could destroy civil ization
 But the Russians have limited field of choice If the alternatives in which the demo- cratic world holds tremendous lead in atomic science and technology unsafeguarded treaty which could be than piece of paper, then our decision is plain. We must choose the former
