UNION WITH CANADA

Ever so often there is a revival of interest in a possible plan for union of the United States ana Canada Recent polls, taken in Canada show consid- erabe favorable reaction such suggestion although large preponderance of opinion in the Dominion op- noses it. Millions of Americans strongly in favor of union provided it built within the structure of government now enjoy.
 There of course, is the rub While Canada and the United States much alike, still our govern ments are different. In event of union, most U 5. citizens would expect all Canadian citizens to fall under our forms Naturally enough, Canadians don't like the idea They would be perfectly willing, We presume to accept a partnership provided Canadian administration would predominate = something to which the United States never could accede
 It is better, then, to continue as we are-along a course of mutual assistance and understanding, Such program has it's disadvantages, of course At the moment Canada is short of dollars, while U $. housewives are paving much for meats than are the housewives of Canada Union might eliminate both difficulties would stir up scores of others more vexing and doubly complicated Let's tread, peaceably and amicably-as we have for many years the common ground. As time and customs pass, perhaps the common ground will become broader per haps eventually these two great lands can come to- pether as single powerful democracy. But that time is not now many differences; too many points Of issue still exist

"Niggardly" and Unfair
(NeW York Times


 President Truman used justifiaby strong language afixng his reluctant signature to the Displaced Fer sons Act of l948 This measure as he said is flag rantlv discriminatory; it reported, after long and nexcusabe delay, without single public near ng" it was delayed in passage until the last days ol the session; it's provisions such that they must have been deliberately directed against refugees of the Jewish and Catholic religions and shamefully nigeardly conditions imposed on those who will be permitted to enter MT. Truman signed the act solely because it seemed him little better than none at all He hopes as must all r-minded people, that Congress will remedy this gross discrimination at US earliest opportunity"
 No enlightened critic of this law would ask that there be dscrmintion in favor of the followers or any faith Such selection would be contrary to the letter and spirit of our laws The principle Of selection should have been human need We should have helped those who suffered most under the Hitler terror and those who have since fled from another terror This would have been in keepnig with hu- mantv we like to think of American It would also have given us good and useful citizens able to do thel ful part in building up this country These new citl- zens would have been in harmony with great Amerl- can tradition for the very beginning the pocal refugee has contributed nightly to the national char acter bringing with him passion for freedom and democracy
 The Eightieth Congress, if 1t meets agan, the Eiohtv-rst if the Eighteth does not meet can rectIy this dismal error We hope that both sets Of national candidates in the coming campaign Will lnslst, as MT Truman has done that it be rectified.

Kommandatura serves notice that the Soviet intends pursue it's claim that the conditions requiring four power occupation for the city have ended It possible that every imaginable device or annoyance will still tried make Berlin unnhabtable for the Western Powers
 Soviet diplomacy goes on the theory that it never hurts to try" In Berlin the Russians may not be satisfied until they have exhausted all potential means of pushing Britain and America out But they will drop any particular weapon is staunchly and effectively countered. So now we can expect tangible results from pending negotiations
 General Clay has probably been ready for some time to help difficulties caused the Russians by the American switch in currency and to make other adjustments But the Soviet to starve Berlin had to be dealt with first Otherwise any American concession would looked like effort to buy off the Russians.
 Now all diplomacy makes the best bargain it But those who have negotiated with the Russians declare that they especially prone to push their demands to the last notch and to regard any cession as weakness This characteristic enters into every calculation of the possibility of arriving at understanding with Russia"
 This newspaper has deprecated efforts to build up hate of Russia and also the proposals of those who declare war is inevitable But we are convinced that many who urge settlement with Russia mistaken in thinking that it is simply matter of a few kind words or diplomatic concessions. They ignore basic factors in Soviet thinking. They discount fanatcism which is sure the world must be saved by Communism They overlook the fact that Russian leaders accept the doctrine of inevitable conflict and regard any agree ment with non- Communists merely a temporary expedient.
 major of the power of Russia rules is this doctrine of conflict They insist that all capitalism is brutal monopostic and lmperlallstlc Much of their reason for being would vanish if 1t became ap- parent that this concept of the democratic countries was untrue and that conflict unnecessary. So IS understanding which implies real friendship IS not attractive to them But neither is war for their people are weary and their country devastated
 So there is some hope that with firmness in the West an agreement to disagree settlement ad- vantageous to both Russia and the WeSt-can eventual ly be achieved

GOVERNMENT REACTION

Here is the first blush reaction of Government officials to the idea of getting these peace appeals via weather balloons to the Russian people:
 Weather Bureau--It's perfectly feasible to float small weather bal looms from Western Europe to Rus sia. About T out of 10 would get there. By gaugins the amount of gas in the balloons it would be possible to fix the approximate point for their landing inside Rus sia. eThe Japs measured the dis tance across the Pacific during the war to land balloons in the Pacific Northwest.) Best launching place would be Germany or Northern France. They would drift at a speed of from 25 to 50 miles an 'hour once they reached the upper wind currents.
 Air Forces Unolficially, think the idea is good. However, exper- fence shows that balloons released from planes in flight crash against ths fuselage and break. Therefore, it's proposed that the balloons be released from the ground. (Weath- CT Bureau says this is feasible.)
 State Department- Unofficially and very cautiously, thinks the idea might be all right
 War Assets Administraticn-H large supply of balloons on hand, but now they're sold out. Army Signal Corps and Weather Bureau have certain number which could be borrowed and replaced later i If it is imcor,ant to get friend ship messages from the American ! people to the Russian people, then ways and means can be found Tor doing it. Various patriotic Ameri- cans have volunteered to print the messages free. donate candy. wrist i watches, etc, to be sent with the messages. The Government has plenty of resourcefulness to put across this propaganda-if it wants | to.
 In wartime we make any sacrifice

PROPAGANDA BALLOONS
 TO RUSSIA

Secret..:y for Air Stuart Sym ington and Air Force officers are giving serious consideration to the idea of having B-29s drop propa- ganda messages to the Russian people at the same time that the B-29s reinforce our position in Berlin.
 Purpose of the idea would be to remind the Russian people that the American and Russian armies battled as comrades to win the recent war, that our right to re- main in Berlin was part of that victory, that the American people do not want war with their former comrades arms and that the propaganda fed them by the Mos COW radio that we are panting for war is so much poppycock.

the fact that the IA men in the Pclitburo alone can put Russia ln- to a war-unleSs there is strong negative urge among the Russian people not to go to war. And the only way to give them that mega tive urge is to go over the Krem- lin's head to make them under stand that the American people do not want war either.
