duction.'
There was no such downturn,
of course, and prices now are above
the break high. But the tremor
of uncertainty" has not been for
gotten by the politicians.
Suppose, they are saying, SIM
liar break should come again. At
ter all, crop prospects are excellent
and corn prices only yesterday broke
because of reports of even greater
than expected crops ahead. The
February break turned to be,
in the words of the economists, cor
receive rather than disastrous. But
suppose the next break doesn't
do the same? Who will get the
blame?
Especially, if the break comes be-
fore the November election, who
will gel the blame?

By ChoImers M. Roberts

Winds of fear are blowing on
Capitol Hill, fear on the part OF
both Republicans and Democrats
that an economic bust is coming
and they will be blamed for it.
The first week of the special ses-
sion made it entirely clear that the
Republican, controlled Congress will
have none of the Democratic Ad-
ministration'S price control and
rationing schemes. But it made
equally clear that members OF both
parties are worried about the high
cost of living and its effect at the
polls in November.
Republicans and Democrats who
have sampled the feeling back
home have been telling reporters
frankly that the public is thoroughly
aroused over today's price tags
But the trouble with anti-inflatlon
moves is that everybody suspects
but nobody knows-thev would pull
the whole rug from under the high
cost of living and head the Nation
into another 1929-33 type of bust.
The result is that each party Is,
in effect, telling the other to go
ahead and do something about
lnflation-so that in case OF a bust
the other party can be blamed.
Gives President Campaign Paint.
The Democratic president called
Congress to pass laws to stop in
flation. He knew the chances of
Republican approval of his program
were practically nil. He will talk
about it at length during the COM
ing campaign.
The Republican Congress. the few
leaders who run it, that is, keep
saying Mr.. Truman has the power
now to stop imitation. If any steps
are taken. they want him to take
them-and the blame, if there is
a crash.
Occasionally, some one says both
sides ought to get together and
act. Senator Tobey, the New Hamp-
shire Republican, said last week:
Woe to the party that thumbs its
nose" at the public by doing nothing,
But nobody on the Hill paid any
attention. even though the state
ment got a hand from the crowd
in the Senate gallery.
Part of Weeks Record.
Here is part of the past weeks
record as Congress sought to un-
wind the tape connecting the high
cost of living to the coming cleo
ton:
The two Republican leaders who,
in the last analysis, hold the fate
of the Presidents program in their
hands are Senator Taft of Ohio
and Representative Wolcott OF
Michigan.
The Senator, who heads the Sem
ate Republican Policy Committee
on Friday declared the President
now has power to stop imitation
but is not using it because he
knows if he did SO farm prices
would go down. and very likely to
some extent there would be unem-
ployment.'
Across the Capitol, the soft spok-
en- Mr.. Wolcott, who heads the
House Banking Committee, was
making the same kind of charge
as former OPA Administrator Paul
A. Porter was arguing for the Tru-
man price control scheme. Mr.

The vote was seven to two, with
France abstaining.
His face Redeemed. Mr. Vishinsky
took the floor after Mr.. Thierry had
spoken. He quoted the Thierry
statement and then flung out his
arms and exclaimed:
In other words we are facing an
ultimatum.
This is the language of dictators,
of bosses. of corporations.
I'VE will not accept such ultima
tums. We will disregard them. We
will pass them by
He then opened the door for the
Western powers to walk out.
Pressure Charged to West.
He charged the Western powers
with using pressure to get their
way and of daily violations of in
ternational agreements"
He cited the treaty of 1881 on
the Danube and said the big West
ern powers had excluded Russia
from participation in that confer
ence, and had changed it twice
without abiding by stipulations re-
curing a tWo-thridS majority.
Mr.. Thierry and Sir Charles Peak
for Britain argued that under in
ternational law the old treaty must
be abrogated by all signers before
it can be replaced
Mr.. Vishinsky retorted that Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Belgium and
Greece all signed the 1921 conven-
ton.
If we follow your reasoning" he
said. such a convention could not
be changed without their approval.
Why didn't you insist that they be
invited?"
Turning to the British delegation,
he said, You, Sir Charles, must
recognize that times have changed.
For new times. new tunes are writ
ten, and in new times no one should
sing old tunes"
The United States has announced
its interest in the conference is as
an occupying power in Germany,
which has a direct interest in the
Danube.
Treaties Provided fer Talks.
The Balkan peace treaties pro-
vided for a Danube conference to
implement treaty provisions calling
for free navigation and commerce
on the international waterway.
On the other hand the Eastern
bloc has taken up the slogan, The
Danube for the Danubians"
The vote on Austria demonstrated
again that the Russians and >Yugo-
slavs are keeping their quarrel
strictly within Communist Party
bounds and are not allowing it to
spread to a governmental level.
Aies Bebler, assistant foreign min
lister for Yugoslavia, told a reporter
today that relations between the
Yugoslav and Russian delegations
had been extremely cordial both ir
and out of the conference.
