poorly impressed with the admin
istrative abilities Of our special ERP
ambassador, w. Averell Hartman.
They say that the former Secretary
of Commerce still is imbued with
what Is described as the wartime
Harry Hopkins philosophy"
When Mr.. Hartman was our
lend-lease representative in Britain
during the war and later as am
bassador to Moscow he had a good
deal to do with supplying lend
lease goods to both those countries.
He followed White House instruc-
tions to Give them all they want,
and don't bother about the cost"
Others Deal With Spain.
Some doubt about the consistency
and wisdom of our economic policy
is raised by the fact that on May IS
Britain and France signed trade
agreements with Spain, in which
the latter country is to get $780,
100000 worth Of heavy industrial
machinery, and railroad and elec-
trical equipment over a period Of a
year. This was done at the same
time that we were refusing to have
direct governmental economic rela-
tions with Spain.
Our special representative In
Greece, Dwight Griswold, testified
before a congressional committee
that Greece has such a surplus of
olive oil-which We are supposed to
send from this country-that she
doesn't know what to do with 1t.
Many members Of Congress be-
lieve that mere military prepared
ness and political alignments with
foreign countries are not sufficient
to provide for the security of the
American people.
During and since the war we dis
posed of a large quantity Of our
national resources. Since vi day
we have spent in the neighborhood
of $18, 900, ,000, 900 in Good Samaritan
work. It is not the amount OF money
spent, however. which Is harmful,
but the fact that American sub
stance in many cases has been
wasted abroad.
Members of Congress are mindful
OF the fact that If We go on spend
ing recklessly we may be confronted
with a domestic crisis Of the first
magnitude. Such a crisis could be
utilized as readily by the U. S. s. r.
as a weapon against American Sc
curity as could troubled political
conditions in Europe.
Congress has approved the ERP
and is determined to make good
the pledges of the American Gov
ernment. But it sees q strong need
to strike some kind Of balance, In
our expenditures for world eco
nomic recovery, between what is
actually needed and what Is being
asked for without much thought by
our Government officials.

then carry it back to the postof1lce." "
Recently the Voice Of America
has got itself into hot water requir-
ing embarrassing investigation and
change of policy. But there Is one
Voice OF America million times
more effective than any words put
out over the air possibly can be.
That is the voice Of hundreds Of
thousands of conscientious, warm
hearted American families express
ing mute human sympathy in soap,
fats, sugar, coffee, underwear, and
shoes.
Every package that arrives from
America in a European home un-
does volumes of Moscow-inspired
propaganda against this country.
Out of this giving, correspondence
arises and contacts are established,
not between governments but be-
tween people. The government has
1t in its power to encourage this
communication; 1t should delay no
longer but put into practice the
powers allowed 1t in the European
Recovery Act.

gelist to pierce the general compla-
cency.
He is neither, and the show he has
put on the road Is the elderly New
Deal, formulated by President Roose-
velt for a depression psychology,
lacking any new twist or gimmick.
Hence such press-car comment as:
I'VE should engrave on this train,
The way to hell Is paved with good
intentions Truman Is sheep
in Roosevelt's clothing"
Political Intentions Clear.
The Presidents political intentions
became clear the first day. Inces-
sanity he points to the Republican
Congress as a terrible flop and por-
trays Harry S. Truman as the man
who has tried to make them protect
the peoples interests. In one brief
speech at Fort Wayne he referred
six times to what 81" tried to do for
peace and prosperity, despite Con-
gress-his party never being men
toned.
This is more than defiance to
the Republicans; it is notice to dis
contented Democrats that Mr.. Tru-
man considers himself Mr.. Demo-
crat and his fight the party's fight
1t is certainly purposeful and, SO
far as the Democrats are concerned,
unless something climactic occurs
to alter his intentions, it will be
successful. Born in the border State
of Missouri of Confederate ances-
try, the President considers himself
a Southerner. His point of view is
that his personal honor Is involved
now and he personally will fight 1t
out with all corners.
One experienced Democrat who
has garnered his millions Of votes in
happier times thinks the Presidents
defiant attitudes are a tactical
blunder.
Should Be More Humble.
Harry Truman ought to be a
little humble, as he used to be- this
expert said.

Hoffman takes advantage of this
section in the act, it will cost the
sender of such relief package only
II cents.
I am informed that such a reduc-

Of this month. 1t is essential that it
should not be postponed. For my

anticipating a change in the rates,
are holding groceries and food for

Letters Are Quoted.
The column I wrote on May %,
calling attention to the difficulties
and expense In sending parcels to
Europe, received volume of con-
firmatory testimony and also showed
the generosity and ingenuity of
American volunteer assistance.
One woman writes: "Our family
is assisting IA German families.
Since May 3, we have sent 49 pack
ages. Our postage was exactly
s1302S. Our cellar now is full of
clothing and groceries. We go to
rummage sales and buy seconds Of
hosiery and underwear from local
mills. But we must hold up sending
more now because we cannot afford
the postage"
Another: MY housemaid has
close relatives in Austria. Every
month she spends her entire wages
on food and necessities for them.
But the postage often costs as much
as the contents of the packages. "
Another: Our family has no rel
atives or friends in Europe. but we
send to a church group we heard
about. We get such grateful letters.
We could do more if the postage
were cheaper"
| Another: I'VE have so very little
money We can't buy much. but do
sort out and mend the children's
outworn clothing. Sometimes I Won
dered whether any one would care
for the scuffed shoes even when
they were whole and the soles
sound, but the letters are so CRATE
full. You also can get great bargains
in thrift shops. It's only the postage
that prevents us from sending
more"
Help From Postoffice Asked.
A correspondent also makes .

cognize that for shipping purposes
the postofhce must set a limit on the
size and weight of parcels. I do
wish, though, that the postofi1ces

and cord, which we could purchase
right there to rewrap our parcels
when the weight has been mis-
estimated. Household scales are
hardly ever accurate, and 1t is dis
couraging to have to carry heavy

your faithful servant; I have tried
to protect you; here is the record
you give the verdict
Harry Truman doesn't make an
effective knight in shining armor
But it is easy to sympathize with
him as an honest, decent man doing
his best. That sympathy is his best
bet."
In any case, no man OF stature
that the Democratic rebels can find
will consent to take on the Presi-
dent in this mood.
The crowds thus far are a dis
appointment to the Truman party
It has been eight years really since
Americans got a good, square look
at their President, heard him In
person report on his stewardship,
viewed him in such colloquial, ap-
pealing guise as 1t did Mr.. Tru-
man, marching afoot with his 35th
Division comrades, just another
gray-haired veteran, obviously pros
porous and with rather less tummy
than most.
Democrats Blame McKim.
But home-going Chicagoans did
not pause long for him. The sta
dium crowd that night cheered, but
it was a Swedish celebration and
they we're applauding a Swedish
prince and their own ancestry as
we'll. And as one Democrat gloom
lily remarked: That's one minority
we could never get-they're mostly
Republicans"
The first Of the inevitable mishaps
Of such a journey occurred here
when a fifth-full coliseum produced
one of those vacant-chair pictures,
like South Carolina's empty table
at the Jackson Day dinner last
winter, which make such unfortu-
nate propaganda.
Democrats blame the Presidents
friend, Ed McKim, the exuberant
insurance man who lasted only six
months as Mr.. Truman's admin
istrative assistant in Washington.
They say Mr.. McKim took over and
said, Its in the bag"-which pre-
sumably it was with the 35th Divi-
sion on hand. Mr.. McKim hustled
busily around all day at the Pres
ident's elbow and entertained the
visiting notables with huge cock
tail party at his home: somehow,
somewhere, the public never got
properly invited or shanghaied into
the hall.
Democrats here say they don't
even think Of Mr.. McKim as a
Democrat; he could retort with
some truth that he doesn't think
Nebraska Democrats are an organ
ization. They are rent with feuds,
some still quarreling over unhappy
things of the late George Norris
campaign; they have lost the State
repeatedly and are expected to do
so some more. The State chairman
who did not appear here, however,
had compelling personal reasons-a
death in the family.

The day that men begin going to
beauty parlors," you can write 1t
down for sure that Cupid will get a
great big set of black eyes and that
his arrows of love will be blunted.
The sales Of bridal gowns will fall
off IS per cent. Rice will be cooked,
not thrown. Old shoes will be half
soled, not tied on backs Of cars; and
canoes will be used for fishing, not
spooning.
Has Invaded Beauty Parlors.
| As a man who on several occa-
sions has had to invade beauty
parlors" to drag out his wife, can
swear that there is no worse sight
on earth. Why they are called
beauty parlors" only H. L. Mem
cken. supreme authority on the
American language, could possibly
explain. They should be called "hor-
ror parlors," or Boris Karlod
salons"
| It is a matter of record that no
man has ever proposed to q woman
| in a beauty parlor,' even in sub
pulp fiction. Once a woman enters
beauty parlor" she steps down
from the pedestal on which men
have placed her and becomes a
creature as unglamorous and un-
appealing as cross-eyed newt with
speech defect.
| A woman under a drier is safer
from the call Of the wolf than II

vault. Her hair is battened down
with aluminium clamps; she has a
net wrapped around her head; wads
of cotton protect her ears, and she
T. is perspiring like a stevedore on
July 8.
A man who would entertain ro-
mantle thoughts toward q woman
at a time like this would be stark,
raving crazy, and fit to make
fourth at bridge only If he could
shuttle and deal while wearing a
strait jacket.
Woman Becomes Pitiful.
No matter how lovely woman Is
out Of = beauty parlor," shs be-
comes almost an object OF pity once
she resigns herself to the care Of
Louise or Ruby or Mr.. Fred or Mr..
Charles.
To see a woman in the throes OF
facial Is enough to make q man
take the VOWS Of bachelorhood for
ever. There she sits, suffering, her
face smeared with more oil than
there is in the crankcase OF trans
continental truck, and her head
swathed in enough bunting to dec
crate a balcony at a political con-
vention.
AS for seeing a woman getting her
hair dyed-well, I am sure that even
the late and not lamented Helm
rich Hinmler would have turned
his head to avoid the sight. To
see woman's crowning glory
change from gray to black, or from
brown to gold, while a rubber
gloved attendant stands by, Is not
for boys or men.
For the sake of love, which means
for the sake of the home and the
family, men must not be allowed to
patronize the beauty parlors." I
prophesy that If men do start hang
ing around beauty parlors" as they
now hang around pool halls, bookie
joints, and pubs, this Nation soon
will be decadent.
