Western Pact

Lending force to Mr.. Truman's
scattering of the seeds Of foreign
policy was the fact that, an hour
before he delivered his pronounce
ment, the just-completed five-nation
western European pact for common
defense against attack had been an
nounced officially.
Under the treaty. Britain, France,
Belgium, Luxembourg and the Meth
erlapds pledged one another military
aid in the event that any one of them
should be attacked.
According to the new Truman
doctrine" the United States would
be the principal guarantor of this
fve-power union. Without such a
guarantee of U. S. backing, the west
ern European treaty would be
meaningless.
! BY his declaration in support of
the western European pact Mr.. Tru-
man seemed to be guiding the U. S.
to a point of departure from its his
toric adherence to the diplomatic
enormity of refusing to engage in
'entangling alliances" even at the
price of its own welfare.

High Farm Income

Employment, income and produe.,
ton, the three important indica.'
tors, currently reflect a high level
Of business activity. The past year
has set a record for farm income
in the country as a whole. In the
first five months Of 1947 farm cash
income ran about Is per cent high
er than in the same months Of
1946. This increase primarily re-
fleets prices which average about,
80 per cent higher than year ago.
Income from meat animals is up
by more than so per cent; dairy
products are bringing in about 40
per cent more than in 1946 on the
basis of market prices; poultry and
eggs are about 10 per cent higher
and crop income totals about 10
per cent over last year. The key
question in the farm outlook is
how long will these high cash in
comes continue. The answer to this
question depends on what will

ABOUT FACE:
E1pedience

To many persons it looked as
though the United States, in aban-
doning its support Of the Palestine
partition plan, had pulled a "Pon-
titus Pilate'' on the same scene
where the procurator Of Judea had
washed his hands not quite 1000
years ago to sanction the Cruel
fixion.
In reversing it's role in the par
tition struggle, the U. S. proposed
that the Holy Land be made a
United Nations trusteeship, giving
Jews and Arabs a chance to reach
agreement on their own concerning
the future of their country's gov
ernment.
Warren R. Austin, American dele
gate to the U.N., said that it was
obvious that partition could not be
carried out except by force, and
the us. consistently has demurred
against the idea of sending troops
to Palestine.
It was ironic that the American
statement withdrawing support from
the partition plan was undoubtedly
the death blow to that plan which
never would have been adopted by
the U.N. in the first place If it had
not been for American pressure and
influence.
Arizona sun., 1948-04-09
RABBITS:
Meat Supply

There is one vast source Of meat
maybe an inexhaustible one-that
the us. public might have to con-
slider seriously If beef and pork be-
come as scarce and expensive as it
is predicted they will:
Rabbits.
That is a department of agricul-
ture idea. The department sug-
gested that the American people
take up the raising of rabbits as
supplementary source of meat to exc
out the usual protein fare, destined
to become more scarce and costly.
National rabbit week, which was
observed during the week following
Easter. would be "a good time" for
families to plan to produce year
round supply of this white, deli
cately favored, nutritious meat,
comparable to breast of chicken"
the department limited. 4-
What does one need to begin rails
ing rabbits? Just rabbits.
Arizona sun., 1948-04-09
TRIESTE:
Surprise

In a move that surprised every.
one from the Russians to American
congressman, the U. S. proposed
Jointly with France and Britain that
the free territory of Trieste be re-
turned to Italy.
Trieste, long a storm center COW
eted by both Italians and Yugoslavs.
had been made a free state under
United Nations guidance in the six
months-old Italian peace treaty.
The proposal was, apparently. a
shrewd and calculated move to try
to help the anti-Communist forces
in Italy win the April l8 election.
It literally put the Russians on
the spot, leaving them with little
choice of reaction. If they support
the western powers proposal to re-
turn Trieste to Italy they will be- in
effect, turning their backs on their
previous arguments for a Yugoslav
Trieste. thereby kicking their Yugo-
slav cohorts in the face.
On the other hand, if Russia were
to side with Yugoslavia it would
amount to a rebuff for the Italian
Communists. Possession of Trieste
is a great political issue in Italy,
and it we'll may turn out now to
be a deciding factor in the elections
coming up there.
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, how
ever, lost little time in answering
the proposal of the U. S., Britain and
France. He simply rejected the de-
mand and proposed instead that
plebiscite be held in the free state
of TriesteFt to decide whether it should
be Italian or Yugoslav.
Moscow diplomats were calling
the action another move toward
war;" Said one: THE beginnings
of international order which emerged
after the war are being destroyed.
But to those who were working
tooth and nail against the spread OF
communism it looked like master
stroke, one which might keep Italy
and all of western Europe out OF
reach of the Kremlin.

FOOD WASTE:
Rats. Insects

Although the world Is crying for
food, hundreds Of thousands Of tons
of American foodstuffs are spoiled
each year by the depredations OF
rats, mice and insects-and often by
the carelessness of some producers.
Food and drug administration Of
ficials say the amount Of so-called
Filthy food" they destroy every
year is enough to contribute very
substantially" to the hungry areas
Of the world.
Filthy food is the legal term
for food spoiled by contamination
Of rats, mice, insects or other re-
pulsive foreign bodies" It Is the job
of the food and drug administration
to find and condemn filthy food in
the channels Of interstate commerce
and to prosecute those responsible.
Since FDA's power to condemn
filthy foods at their destination was
taken away a year ago. officials
estimate that, as a result, 20 tons
of such food appears in retail outlets
every day.

REACTION:
Divided

What are the true facts? Just how
potentially lethal is the situation
with regard to Russia?
Senators and representatives were
asking those questions after Presi.
dent Truman's ''let's get strong
message. Many of them were de-
manding answers before they would
consent to go ahead with any legis-
lation endorsing a military draft or
UNIT.
Congress was divided, but the split
was not along party lines. It re-
flected isolationism, discomfort with
the Truman foreign policy and in
some cases an almost unhealthy re-
spect for Russia's power in Europe.
Greatest fear seemed to be that
conditions in Europe, as precipi-
tated by Soviet actions. may get

Protection from Diphtheria

Approximately two-thirds Of an
cases of diphtheria occur among
school children. according to the
Illinois department Of public health.
For this reason parents are urged
to have their school-age children
immunized against this disease.
For best protection the inmuniza-
ton should be given when the child
Is six or eight months old, with an
added booster shot, when he en-
ters school. Confning child to the
school room where he comes into
close contact with other children In
creases the hazard Of contagious
diseases. especially those like diph-
theria that affect the lungs. Unless
school children are protected
against diphtheria, they also may
carry it home to their younger
brothers and sisters.

Young Evangelist breaches,
Sings and Plays Accordion

LOS ANGELES. - Little Marjoe
Gortner, three and one-half-year-oM
preacher, is the talk Of Los An
geles evangelist circles.
The curly-haired son Of the Rev.
and Mrs. Vernon Gortner, both Long
Beach, evangelists, made his pulpit
debut at a local downtown meeting
and since has given several SER
mons, followers say.
His average sermon lasts about
10 minutes. He also sings and ac-
companies himself on the accordion.
Marjoe's best sermon, say his
hackers, is 1.-THE Last Roundup" in
which he comes on singing, dressed
in cowboy suit, and concludes with
a short message on the general
theme.

THE PRICE
Peace and War

1--WE must be prepared to pay
the price Of peace or assuredly
we shall pay the price of war;"
: Those words. spoken by President
Harry Truman to the U. S. con-
'gress, could be the seeds of the first
genuine, effective foreign policy
this nation has had for half a CEN
tury. .....
Disregarding any political over
tones there might have been in the
Presidents speech, his address to
the joint session of congress re-
GLected the realization at the top
level Of government that any Sue
cessful foreign policy must be based
on the fundamental concept of strik-
ing balance between commitments
abroad and the national security
or strength at home available to
back up those commitments.
By definition, the term foreign
policy" implies that any nation ex-
pressing such a policy possesses the
strengthen military forces and alli-
ances-to follow it consistently at all
times and to defend it just as con-
Sistently in case of war.
In that connection Mr.. Truman
specifically, asked congress for
power to draft men to build armed
strength against the ruthless aggres
sion of Soviet communism.
He asked also for prompt enact
ment of universal training legisla-
tion," indicating that the draft should
be only temporary until universal
military training is giving the coun-
try the trained men it needs.
Finally, he sought swift passage
of the. 5.3-billion-dollar European
recovery program - the Marshall
plan for economic recovery of west
ern European nations which is set
ting the Kremlin's teeth on edge.
~ Bluntly the President upbraided
