ESPIONAGE:
Dragon Seed

The dragon seeds of international!
espionage sown during the war sud-
denly had begun to bloom with a
vengeance and the nations capital
seemed to be overgrown with spies
and rumors Of spies.
First stone was cast by Miss Eliza
beth Bentley, self-confessed courier
for Soviet agents, who revealed that
much of her information had come
from sources in official government
positions.
She showed no hesitancy in NAM
ing names, among which were those
of Nathan C. Silvermas ster, board
of economic warfare and war assets
administration official; William W.
Remington, former commerce de-
partment official, and Alger Hiss.
former state department official ac-
tive in the establishment of the Unit
ed Nations.
There was no visible proof that
any Of the persons she implicated
ever had furnished information to
the Soviet espionage ring, although
some had Communistic backgrounds.
AS matter of fact, the FBIreported
that it had spent more than three
million dollars in an investigation
of the same matter months prior to
the current excitement. The G-men
finally gave it up because of lack
of documentary proof.
But congressional investigations
were under way in both the senate
and house Testimony included the
usual famboyant accusations and re-
ordinations but failed to produce
any concrete evidence.
Rep. Karl Mundt Rep., S. D.,
chairman of the house un-American
activities committee, added to the
national impact of the affair by as
serting that there is good reason to
believe Communist spy ring is op-
Grating in Washington right now y
His committee was investigating,
he said, although the public hearings
so far had dealt only with the testi-
mony that Red espionage system
was at work in the U. S. during the
| war,

RELIGION
World Council

ITO justify the ways Of God to
man" was John Millions expressed
purpose for writing his monolithic
epic poem of the Reformation,
paradise Lost"
Accidentally Milton succeeded
in providing that justification for
his own and an unknowable num-
Der of future generations Of Christ
ians. But since the 10th century
days of Milton human society has
turned an increasi singly cold cheek
to the spiritual values preached by
every great Christian since Paul.
Particularly since the outset OF
the goth century mans attention
has been claimed more and more
by the dramatic power of mate
rialism which has been brought
into full play as a result of this
chronological economy with its as
sembly lines, power politics and
repetitive wars.
Thus, the problem now is not SO
much how to justify Gods ways to
man as it is how to justify mans
society in the eyes of God. And if.
as many churchmen believe, no such
justification is possible, then how to
work a reasonable and beneficial
change in the society which men
have wrought.
It is that problem which the
World Council of Churches, COM
posed of 148 Protestant and Ortho-
dox churches from 40 nations, will
endeavor to meet squarely at it's
first world assembly in Amsterdam
August % to September 4.
Four hundred and fifty church
leaders laymen and clergymen
alike are determined, among
other things, Ito assess the
strengths and weaknesses of pres
ent-day Christendom" and Ito de-
fine a basis Of common principle
upon which Christians can CO
operate for world order"
Under the conference Cneme,
MANS Disorder and Gods De-
sign," the delegates will attack
such questions as: How to infuse
more spirituality into our mechan-
lied society without advocating the
destruction of all mechanization?
What action can the church take
among it's members to aid in es-
tablishment of world order and
what is the church's answer to the
amoral power politics of the pres
ent day?
If these are tough questions, the
World Council of Churches is likely
to prove itself spiritually tough and
realistic enough to go long way to-
ward providing some Of the ans
wers.

.COTTON:
Mechanical

Last of the great American farm
commodities to remain essentially
a man-mule crop, cotton finally is
becoming mechanical, thus elimi-
mating the necessity of maintaining
vast armies OF laborers to meet the
two peak labor periods Of the crop
cycle.
Mechanization is one of the ma
jor steps in the effort Of cottor
people from Virginia to California
to achieve lower production costs.
To the 1914 million people in le
states who derive all or q substan.
tial part Of their income from cot.
ton it is of paramount Importance
that they keep their crop competi.
tive cost-wise.
The answer lies, to a great ex.
tent. in mechanization. Thinning
and wedding equipment and har.
vesting machines are revamping
the farm picture in the South.
The mechanical cotton picker IL
capable of performing the work ot
40 to so human pickers. varying
with weather conditions. land sur
face, and other factors.
Typical result of mechanizatior
was the experience of Mississippi
farmer who used fame cultivation
to control weeds at a cost of 81
cents an acre at the same time hu
man choppers were costing SIS.
Of course. complete mechaniza
ton of cotton will not materialize
overnight. National Cotton council
representing the entire industry
reports that in 1947 less than pei
cent of the crop could be classet
as entirely mechanized. A consid
erable portion of the remaining
crop. however. was in various
stages nt mechanization.

HOLY LAND:
Optimism

Although the July 18 truce in
Palestine put at least temporary
end to the military bloodshed be-
tween Jews and Arabs, the struggle
for rights and power continues be-
hind the diplomatic scenes in the
Near East.
However, there is some reason to
believe now that many of the
troubles in the troubled spot may
be smoothed out when Count Folke
Bernadotte, U. N. mediator, pro-
poses his next peace plan in Sep
tember.
One of the reasons for such opti-
mism is the attitude of King Abdullah
Of Trans-Jordan, most powerful of
the Arab league states.
Abdullah has asked for full and
careful consideration of any future
proposal for permanent peace in
Palestine.
And, he said, his Arab nation
does not exclude any possible COM
promise that secures justice and
prevents unnecessary bloodshed.
I'VE would like that the efforts
of Count Bernadotte in the refugee
problem be successful, and after
wards that any new proposals which
lie will make should not be rejected
outright, but be fully discussed be-
fore they are put in final FORM"
Arizona sun., 1948-08-20

most of them would have flown
away" Many did anyway, and
Czech planes are turning up con-
tinually in Western controlled areas
of Europe. This occurs in civil
aviation too because many of the
pilots are former members of the
air corps.
But if the Red government can
not trust the air corps, it has even
less confidence in the Czech armored
I force. 1t has been necessary to
immobilize it,
But the greatest friction
caused by partial cOmmuniza-
ton is felt in the nations econ
Omy. Everyone suffers, at least
indirectly, because of this, but
it can be seen most clearly
among workers. Recent fig
ures, which were made avail
able to the public, indicate that
there is a sharp falling-off in
the man-hOur prOductiveness.
This could be attributed either
to conscious sabotage or to a =
feeling of Indifference and re-
sentiment caused by reduced
pay md restrictions on the
union labor movement.
Before the Russians moved in, IS
to 80 per cent of Czechoslovakia's
foreign trade was with non-Com-
munist countries. This has been
considerably reduced under pres
sure from Russia, but even now
some go to 70 per cent of her ex-
ports 60 to Western Europe.
Virtually the entire output Of tSe
great Skoda arms factory goes to
Russia. The output is largely heavy
artillery. Production of email arms
for Russia also has been stepped
up greatly.

Seek Big Noise
To Scare Fish

The United States fish and Wild
life service wants to find a noise
which will scare young salmon
away from the huge spillways and
turbines that have been built in the
Columbia river.
For years salmon have used the
river as they come from the seas to
seek fresh water for egg-laying. The
old-timers among salmon have
sense enough to use the fish ladders
and elevators. But young fish, born
above the dam, try to come down
the hard way, through spillways
and turbines. Thousands are killed.
If a noise can be discovered which
will scare the young salmon in the
right direction, lot of fish lives
will be saved.
Arizona sun., 1948-08-20
Greater Problems
Are in Prospect

Czechoslovakia is not yet thor
oughly communized. There is still
q certain amount of open criticism.
There have been no wholesale
purges. Undoubtedly, these will
come, but when they do-and herein
those who believe that the Soviet
position is weakening are encour-
aged-the prospects are that the
harder the Russians crack down,
the greater problem Czechoslovakia
will present to heI Kremlin over
Seers.
Before the coup that ended in the
death of Masaryk took place. 1t was
estimated that perhaps 20 per cent
of the people had been indoctri-
mated with communism. Another IL
per cent were sympathetic. chiefly
from a theoretical point of view.
My Czech informant declares that
it can be reliably estimated that
the taste OF practical communism
which the people have had now has
TSuuCGu LLldL SSO1 "
Is per cent.
He also confirmed the recent
statements about the army-though
he gave no figures-made by Gen.
Antonin Hasal who escaped to the
American zone Of Germany in the
middle of July. Hasal said that &c
per cent of the enlisted men and
on-commissioned officers in the
Czech army was anti-Communist
My informant put it this way:

members fought with the R. A. F.,

to assume that at least the govern
ments and the controlling Com
munist .ninoritieS which support
them nave been able to produce a
degree of mutual affection which
satisfies the Kremlin After Tito 5
action we wondered.
What about the frontiers between
these countries and Russia?
The answer came from an anti
Communist, recently arrived from
observation-disclosures of the many
persons who are seeping out OF that
and other satellite countries every
day. He was asked in my presence
if the frontier between his country
and Russia was open. in. the sense
that travel was permitted under the
same conditions that obtain between
normally friendly nations.
The Czech laughed. He said:
1.-The border between my country
and Russia is no tighter than dam
would have to be to keep drop Of
water from getting through"
I have heard the Russian frontiers
of other satellite nations similarly
described
My informant also outlined other
significant conditions in Czechoslo-
vakia, first reminding us of three
important facts:
l. CzechOsl0vakia is the most
industriaIized of all the satel-
liteS.
2. 1t is also The most demo
cratic in the realistic sense we
view j e m ocracy. In other
words the country is thoroughly
indOctrinated with the kind of
democratic methods we know.
This is due in part, Of course,
to the fact that so many of the
men responsible for formation
of the Czech republic spent
many years in the United States
and were made thoroughly fa-
miliar with American methods.
III is also Ouc I'd IHO AdCC Cudt
they had long period of prac-
tical experie ence in putting
these methods into effect in
their own country.
3. The Czechs had a very
high standard of living COM
pared to the other satellites.
These factors, taken together,
made the Czechs particularly vul-
nerable to Communist coup. When
it came, because of their demo.
cratic training and high standard
of living, the Czechs were partic.
ularly unhappy as an aftermath Of
Communist methods and Russian
domination. Ina other words. the
Czechs had more to lose than any
of the other countries within the
Red orbit.

That Old Oil

Oil is being consumed, in the
U. S. today at a rate exceeding
the total world consumption of only
10 years ago, according to an
article in a recent issue of ''Busi-
ness Comment, bulletin of the
Northern Trust company in Chicago
Demand for all oils in the first
quarter of l948 averaged 6.3 mil
lion barrels daily. an increase of 2
per cent over the corresponding
period of 1947.

CONGRESS:
UnuUiIIing

Probably the only accomplishment
of the special summer session OF
congress called by President Tru-
man was to provide both parties
with a bigger. and better supply
of political ammunition for the elec-
ton campaign.
Democrats would be able to say
that the COP congress simply sat
back on it's launches and did moth
ing about the pressing problems OF
imitation, housing and other nation
al issues.
Republicans could counter with
the assertion that, within the bounds
of their political beliefs and judg-
ment of what is best for the ma
ton, they did all they could under
the circumstances. To that they
probably would add the stock argu-
ment that the whole thing is the
fault of the 16-year Democratic
regime and that the ultimate solu-
ton must lie in the election of
Republican administration this
November.
One result of the special session
that might be clasSed as favorable
was that it served to sharpen the
rough edges of the wide cleavage
between the two parties over do
mestic problems and give the voters
q more clear-cut, definitive idea
of what they will be deciding on
November 2.
Despite President Truman's la
borious diatribes against congress
and his repeated warnings that con-
trolls alone will curb the now dan.
gerous imitation, in the final analysis
it remained foolish to believe that
the COP congress ever would take
the action he recommended. Re-
publicans simply do not approve OF
that method of handling the nation's s
economy.
Republican congressman agreed
only to string along with legisla.
