Citrus Trees

Orange and grapefruit trees grown
on rough-lemon rootstock usually be-
come larger and come into bearing
earlier, and consequently produce
larger crops than those grown on
sour-orange rootstock. Also, on
rough-lemon rootstock the fruits av-
erage slightly larger and have a lit
tie coarser texture and thicker rinds,
but contain somewhat less juice on

Greek MuddIe

The scrambled Greek problem revealed
in bitter debates before the United Nations
is reflected by an equally muddled political
situation within Greece itself There, the
uneasy coalition government of Royalists
and Liberals threatens to break down,
with no parliamentary alternative In
prospect if the breakdown happens.
Somewhat over year ago, as the result
of a fairly honest election that was boy
cotted by the Communists and other
extreme leftists, the present coalition
cabinet was established. The Royalists,
calling themselves Populists and represent
ing the rightist elements, were the largest
single group in the new Parliament but
did not command a majority. The next
largest group, indispensable for viable
cabinet, were the Liberals. But the Lib
erals were split into two dissident wings.
The larger Of these was headed by vet
eran politician named sophoulis; the
smaller and more leftish wing was headed
by Sophocles Venizelos, son and political
heir of his famous father.
After prolonged negotiations, in which
our American advisers played construc-
tive part, the coalition was formed.
Sophoulis was given the honor of the
premiership, with cabinet posts assigned
in proportion to Populist or Liberal
strength. The Venizelos wing reluctantly
gave its support.
The increasing tension within the coan-
ton is due chiefly to the governments
failure alike to crush the Communist
guerrillas and to better bad economic
situation. The advent Of winter ends all
hope of cleaning out the guerrillas In
deed, sporadic fighting in many parts of
Greece has led to the proclamation of
martial law over the entire nation, with
attendant restrictions on civil rights.
All this increases discomfort with q
government which has clearly failed in
its appointed tasks and Venizelos threatens
to withdraw his support from the cabinet,
insuring its overthrow. But Venizelos and
his leftist Liberals could not make a deal
with the Populists, whereby alone parlia-
mentary majority would be conceivable.
And nothing could be much worse than a
governmental interregnum.
Unless the present cabinet can retain
Office, the sole feasible alternative would
seem to be an extra parliamentary regime
to deal with the emergency, perhaps
headed by military figure such as General
Papagos, who commands widespread popu-
larity and confidence In that case, Par
Lament would presumably 60 into recess
for some time. Such an emergency resims

The Press and Politics

One can imagine that those most anxi-
ously awaiting the results of this election
are the candidates, the jobholders (present
as we'll as prospective), and, perhaps, the
poll takers. But the American press should
be ranked close behind them.
The interest of the candidates and the
jobholders is too obvious for elaboration
Likewise, the interest of the poll takers
is not hard to understand. They declared
Governor Dewey elected long ago, and
they have stuck by their guns despite
charges from the Presidents camp which
range from suggestions that the pollsters
are shy some of their marbles to hints that
there is something phony about the polls.
The newspapers, however, have an in
terest which is little different from any
of the others. The poll takers, for instance,
have been right in most of their past
forecasts. But most of the newspapers,
during the Franklin D. Roosevelt era,
seemed to be possessed of a genius for
backing the wrong political horse In
election after election the bulk OF the
press was opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt, but
the people just as regularly returned him
to Office.
This stimulated the growth of a school
OF thought, or perhaps one should say a
school of expression, which claimed that
the press had lost all claim to leadership
In the community. Some of these indi-
viduals-Harold Ickes was one of them
were quite exuberant about it. They took
no stock in the notion that those news
papers which support political candidates
should support men they believe to be
best qualified for Office, even though they
know popular sentiment is against them.
All that these critics could see was
picture of the press being spanked by its
readers, and they rejoiced in their belief
a belief which they did not hesitate to
proclaim-that the American newspapers
because of their manifold faults, especially
their political blindness, If not venality,
had lost their influence with their readers.
Well, this is another election day. Once
again the bulk of the press is supporting
the Republican candidate And a good
many editors are awaiting the answers to
two questions: Cd Is the American press
at last going to be on the right side of
presidential election? t2) If so, are people
like Harold Ickes going to come right out
and say that the press has regained its
influence, that the people now look to it
for guidance?
The editors will know the answer to the
nrst question late tonight or tomorrow.
They already know the answer to the
second. Mr.. Ickes and his crew will say
nothing Of the sort. And If they were to
say 1t they would be Just as wrong this
year as they were four, eight and twelve
years ago. For 1t Is not the function of
the press to tell the people how to vote,
and no rational editor expects to be able
to do that. All that the press can do is
report the news and express such opinions
as it may have. But In the last analysis
and this year will be no exception, the
people will and should make up their
own minds

The DIP Arrivals

The 813 displaced men, women and chill
dren who have just arrived in this country
from Europe-the first of 205, 900 scheduled
to be let in by mid -1950-are immigrants
whose experience can hardly have failed
to make them uniquely appreciative of the
liberties, the duties and the opportunities
that will now be theirs in America.
OF many nationalities and faiths, they
promise to make good citizens. This is so
not simply because of their varied skills
or because of what they may be able to
contribute materially to our society, but
because the lives they have led must surely
have taught them that freedom is a
precious thing and that it can die all too
easily If it is abused, poorly guarded or
treated with indifference, as If it needed
no active affirmation or entailed no re-
sponsibility on the part of those who are
blessed with it,
Certainly, this is point that must be
burned deeply in the minds of all the
adults among these first DPS to reach our
shores in accordance with the legislation
enacted this year by the Eightieth Con-
gress. For every one of them has known
the misery and terror of living under
tyranny. Most of the 813 are refugees from
Soviet totalitarianism. A lesser number
are survivors of the Nazi scourge. Taken
as a whole, after what they have gone
through under absolute dictatorship, and
after their poignant period of waiting and
hoping In the detention camps, 1t is doubt
full that any group of people could be
better qualified to become constructive
members of our democracy-constructiv
particularly in the sense of understanding

1t were dangerous, they would not be so bold
at this time.
The thirty-frst anniversary Of the birth Of
the Soviet Republic finds Russia greatly
weakened As . result Of the last war Her
casualties amounted to over 100000, and
her entire transportation and productive sys-
TENS were disorganized. She cannot adequately
clothe. feed or house her own population.
The repercussions from the ill-starred Berlin
blockade have been most disastrous. Russia
has alienated the good will of the people
OF the world and lost what chance she had OF
winning the support of the people in Germany.
The rest Of Europe is making q remarkable
comeback with the aid of bumper crops and
the Marshall Plan. Russia alone is not show
ing any progress.
Throughout history communism always has
been = failure. 1t failed in Sparta 1000
years ago, 1t failed with the Aztecs in Mexico
when Cortez arrived in 1870, and 1t failed with
the 1ncas In Peru when Pizarro upset them
in 1888
There may be some exciting news for the
world coming very soon.
