SPUD SPOILAGE

On recent trip to Canada took terrific "ribbing'

Canada will have shipped to this country of 00O
600 bushels Of potatoes while during the period
In excess of 22OoOo6 bushels of potatoes from American
potato-growers
What asound good friends to the north is that their
Canadian potatoes being sold in this country at
price less than Uncle Sam paying the American farmer

believe that government is selling of po
tatoes for acohomang purposes at &c bushe for 1c

dumped ravnes being sprayed with purple
ink to render it nedibe They marvel that while all this
nonsense going on the American housewife is paving
One Canuck rubbed it in with this facetous comment
s right neighbory you folks to dump your surplus po
tatoes that buy surplus at fancy price but
just don't get it, To this jbe was unable to make any
reply.
No wonder Canadian friends can't understand it.
For several months they listened bureaucras and poll
tcians during election campaign crying to the
high heavens about high prices laying the Blame on
lies and trusts while government ITSELF is the real cu
it approves and eorces to keep prices hgh-far higher
than they would be the law of supply and demand

Yes prices high because the government planned
them that way. What makes bad situation worse is

ridiculous that tax dollars being taken from the entire
citizenry to subsdize particular group group which
by stretch of the imagination be called under

We just went through the process of electing Pres-

The man who last November
2 made monkeys of the pollsters
and confounded all of the ex-
perts has golden opportunity
to be one of the truly great pres
idents of this nation.
Deserted by the leaders of his
own Democratic Party, he waged
a campaign, in the face of every
possible encouragement, that
aroused the admiration of the
American people, evening includ-
ing those millions who did not
vote for him. He just would not
be licked, and he wasn't. The
American people love fighter,
and today Harry Truman is be-
loved throughout the 48 states of
the Union (Maine included).
AS he himself declared on the
eve of his triumph, he owes moth
ing to any man, certainly not to
his party. He can be exactly the
kind of a president he wishes to
be-he is free and untrammelled.
No other president, with the
possible exception Of George
Washington, has ever gone. to
the White House with positively
no strings attached to him, ow-
ing nothing to anyone. Harry's
only debt is to the rank and file
of the American people who ell
ected him.
For one, I am going to believe
that 'The Champ" intends to
give this nation the best admin
istration he knows how. If he
fails to make a place for himself
in history as one of the 'greats"
among a handful of presidents,
it will be due to errors of judg-
ment, not to errors of the heart.
The election campaign waged
by our president and president
elect leaves no doubt as to the
Truman courage and determin-
alton. We can safely assume that
he will battle just as strenuously
on the legislative front as he did
on the campaign front for what
he sincerely believes is best for
most of the American people.
AS one of those American
people, 1 have an obligation and

And looked out to see who was there

And head of silvery hair.
What do you want? quietly asked,
He looked at and sighed
That he was old and weary
It could not be denied
Could you just spare piece of bread
And glass of water to drink?
TO see man in such a plight
Would make the poorest think.
And thought of our Master when here on earth
And how He said things ought to be:
In as much as ye did unto the least of these
Ye have done it unto me-
Oh how often do we hate to share
Our brothers sorrow and pain
We always reach for worldly things
And having them what do we gain?
Did not God send His only Son
To help us Jour burden bear
But how can we hope to wear His crown
If we will not His blessings share?
The poor ye have with you always
So help them while you may
Give them to eat and kindly speak
Ere they pass upon their way
And when our life's journey is ended
And day for working is DER
We will get our thanks for the poor we've helped

A Golden Opportunity
BY George Peck

a desire to be helpful. Please do
not consider me bumptious in Of
fering some advice to the man
who will preside over our des-
TIMES for the next four years. 1
would refer our president to the
erudite sayings of two great
Chinese philosophers-Confucius
and Lao Tzu.
Over 2,400 years ago in the 5th
Century, B. c., Confucius said:
Government is good when it
makes happy those who live un-
der it and attracts those who
live far away"
That most certainly describes
the kind of government we had
in America for a century and a
half.
And again Confucius said:
''The wise and good ruler is ben
evolent without expending
treasure; he lays burdens on the
people without causing them to
grumble; he has desires without
being covetous; he is serene
without being proud; he is awe
spring without being feTocious"
.'"~ That most certainly describes
the qualities of two of our great
president, Washington and Lin
coin.
And again, Confucius said:
'The wise and good Lao Tzu
said: in the highest antiquity,
the people did not know they
had rulers. In the next age, they
loved and praised them. In the
next, they feared them. In the
next, they despised them If
the government is prying and
meddling, there will be constant
infraction of the law The
people starved because those in
authority over them devoured
too many taxes The people
are difficult to govern because
those placed over them are med
dlesome, y.
Could it be that Lao Tzu had
in mind such things as price con-
trolls, rationing with it's black
markets, free medicine, federal
aid to education, public housing,
excess profit taxes, etc? 1t could
be, Mr.. President.

President Peron Will Halt
"Anti-Semitic Germs"
In Argentina
BY ANATOLIO LANDMANN

BUENOS AIRES, (JTA) -
President Juan Peron of Argen-
tina this week invited Ricardo Du-
brovsky, president of the DAIA-
central Jewish representative
body in this country as we'll as
the leaders of the pro-Peron or
ganization, "Israelita Argentina"
to confer with him. During a
conference which lasted one hour,
in which Foreign Minister Juan
Bramulgia also participated, Per-
on told the Jews that he wishes
to prevent the growth of "anti-
Semitic germs" in Argentina.
A spokesman for the deputation
told Peron that several Jews have
been detained for months in Ar
gentina as illegal immigrants and
also raised the question of wild
ening immigration opportunities
for Jews. Peron Immediately in
structed his officials to release
the detained Jews and grant them
the necessary papers. He also
promised the delegation that he
would legalize the status of those
Jews in Argentina who do not
possess the required identification
papers, and advised the represen-
tatives of "Israelita Argentina"
to look into this matter.
Peron also authorized granting
Arieh Chill, Jewish Agency repre-
sentative in this country, a more
permanent status than that of
tourist, which was the classified
ton under which he was admit
ted to the country.

pressed by the sincerity and pat
hos of the young girls letters,
they filed affidav1ts through
HAS for Dinah's immigration
In the months that followed,
HAS made countless representa-
tions before government officials
on behalf of Dinah, with ultimate
success coming at last in May of
this year.
Upon her arrival in New York,
Dinah found that she had acquired
not only a father and mother, but
also a big brother and a sister,
Renee, of about her own age.
Happy in the envelOping love of
her new family, Dinah now smiles
and laughs for the first time in
years. Her adopted mother, Mrs.
Shiclman, plans to accompany
her on a 1O-week vacation, so
that Dinah may have peace and
rest and quiet for the first sus-
tanned period of her life"
Dinah is one of the thousands
of Jewish D. P.'s whom HAS is
assisting to reach new lives
throughout the world, and for
which work the Society is this
year seeking $4,52O,OOO to carry
out it's urgent 1948 program.

The first major challenge to the
authority of the Provisional Gov
eminent came when an Irgun gun
runner, Vladimir Jabotinsky, at
tempted to unload a large ship
ment of arms and ammunition at
Kfar Vitkin, on the coast about
five miles north of Nathanya.
When the army halted this opera
ton in a battle with Irgunists, the
ship, captained by an American
Monroe Fein, was moved to Tel
Aviv where the Irgun made a Sec
ond determined attempt to land
the arms.

British Guards Replace
Africans At Detention
Camps

LONDON, (JTA) = A report
from Nairobi, capital of Kenya,
said this week that British guards
have been ordered to replace A
fricans in the Gilgil detention
camp where about $50 Palestin-
ian Jews are being held as polite
al prisoners. The new move was
allegedly taken because the Jew
ish detainees are said to be re-
stive over the fact that their
promised repatriation to Pales-
tine has been cancelled for the
duration of the truce period.
Meanwhile, a Foreign Office
spokesman denied that the Pro
visional Government of Israel has
informally asked the British Gov
eminent to grant it de facto rec
ognition.

Hers is one of the most bizarre
stories in the files of HAS. In
1916 the Shickmans 21-year-old
son, Sol, a sailor in the Merchant
Marine, found Dinah, during a
two-day shore leave in Gdynia,
Poland, among a group of 200
war orphans waiting to be dis
persed to children's homes in
France and England.
Moved by the loneliness and be-
Wilderment in Dinali's face, young
Shickman listened to her tragic
story of how her entire family
had been wiped out by the Nazis,
how for a year She hid with a
Polish family in WrOclaW, and
how she was later handed over
to the Germans when they raided
the city searching for Jews. She
recOunted at that time how she
had tOiled in slave labor camps,
and how much she wanted, above
all, to find a home and family
who would love her whom she
could love.
Deeply stirred, Sol wrote to his
mother, asking her to send the
girl parcels of food and clothing.
Thus began a correspondence
which continued almost two years,
during which time the Shickmans
came to consider Oinah their own
child. With the assistance of DR..
