for a war which the Russian peo- ole don't want, but which the IA men in the Kremlin have to jus tify.
 During the war we spent millions of dollars dropping leaflets, cakes of soap, packages of tea over other nations in order to convince them that we were friendly to them as people (though not to their dlcta- tors). This expense was fully jus tified on the ground that it short ened the war and saved lives.
 How much more important, and how many more lives could be sav- ed by preventing war in the flrst place by going over the heads of the Kremlin and getting to the Russian people.
 The State Department, of course, is trying to do this in a routine sort of way through it's Voice of America. However, radio sets are few in Russia and probably only fraction of the people ever hear our propaganda.
 So here is my suggestion.
 The 60 giant B-29s you have sent to Europe will have their eff feet on the Kremlin. Let's also make them felt by the Russian people-in an entirely different way by having them drop mes sages of friendship.
 Actually, the planes will not fly over Russia, so the messages could not be dropped direct. But they will fly a few miles from the border over Germany, and the wind currents are such that small balloons released from the B-29's would float over Russia.
 The War Assets Administration informs me that it has half a mil lon small balloons left over from the war, previously used for wealth CT soundings. The government has been selling these Tor. 37 cents apiece. In my opinion they could be worth about S3,700 apiece in good will and in war prevention If they floted down over Russia with hundreds of Russians in the vil- lages scrambling for them and talk ing about them.
 Can you imagine the difficulty the Kremlin would have in ex- planning away these balloons!
 During the war, the Japanese took advantage of the weather cur rents to float balloons all the way across the Pacific Ocean carrying explosives. They were balloons of death. We can reverse the process with balloons of friendship.
 Furthermore. we can reverse the process with no expense to the government. F. w. Danner of Ak

Elections in other countries in recent years have served to reveal the comparative indifference of Am ericans to the privileges of citizenship At the gen. eral election in Italy in April 80 per cent of the eligible voters to the polls. In France, the con- stituent assembly election brought out 81 per cent of the voters At the general election in England 76 per cent of the eligible voters turned out.
 Canadas election in l945 attracted "A per cent of the voters A parliamentary election in South Korea last month outdd all these scores It was estimated that 90 per cent of the voters cast their ballots
 The United States trails behind them all. Only per of the voters took part in the presidential election in 1914 and only 38 per cent voted in the 1946 Congressional election. It is not record in which Americans, with all vaunted devotion to democracy, can take much pride.

 Sending the two groups of B-29s is interpreted as the first step to establish bases which could be used in case the United States had to withdraw other bases from German soil.

wheat reached the mills of Europe
and the product reaches the peo-

On the question of continued

For farmers who wish to make
wheat donations, arrangements
have been made at the Vista ele-

contact with one of the committee
should be made before delivery
in order to have the elevator open
to receive it.
