II Ambassador Smith makes 1t
stick, it Is probable that no chances
will be taken on q political appoint
ment to replace him: instead q
career diplomat will be drafted.
This is the distinct preference Of
the Democratic National Commit
tee.
If the Presidents firmer atti-
tuGe toward the military in other
respects is a proper guide, 1t is also
improbable that the Army or Navy
will be asked to suggest a success
sor to Ambassador Smith. The
President believes that some, not
all, quarters at the Pentagon are
too war-minded; he has been doing
what he can to establish that he Is
free from that influence.
Assures Careful Press.
It is always possible that the
surprise" Truman visit to the testi-
monial luncheon honoring his for
mer partner In a Kansas City
haberdashery and his "of1 the cuff"
remarks were not quite as spon-
taneous as they seemed. There
have been occasions on which prior
consultations and rehearsals pre-
coded the outbursts Of Truman can
dor at an unexpected moment. On
one, 1t seemed politically desirable
to pep up a dull speech; on another,
it appeared q good idea to take
notice with seeming informality Of
reports not otherwise to be identi-
fed or recognized.
In any case the character of the
honest little man who speaks his
mind on important matters at odd
is being firmly built into
political legend. One re-
porter has put it that now he's
got q mandate to make mistakes;

That his reflections about the

is not surprising since he must deal

pear to think we are. So, get back
where you belong or take the conse-
quences."
These things we are saying In
these two critical areas as this old
year dies, and they may mean a
great deal to the new year now
a-borning and to the years to come.
They may mean a great deal to our
own country.
Greed Has It's Limits.
For what we are saying is that
greed has its limits. The greed Of
the Chinese ruling class has clearly
reached its limit. It has destroyed
the thing on which 1t fed. The greed
Of the Dutch ruling class passed
it's limits when 1t attempted to set
aside the best sense Of the United
Nations and to reclaim for itself
all the productive power of the prim-
tive people whom 1t had long ex-
plotted, but whom 1t could not pro-
tect from another and stronger pred
atory people, the japanese.
So we, through our government,
have said no to the Chinese govern
ment and to the Dutch government
and we can take pride in ourselves
for having done so.
It makes q good finish for the old
year and a good start on the new
year. How far it will carry us, how
ever, will depend on what we do
concerning greed in our own coun-
try. A good start also has been made
here at home. The element in our
society frankly representative Of
greed has been defeated In a free
election. Given two years in con-
troll of Congress, greed spelled out
It's character 50 clearly that the peo-
pie were able to read 1t and say 1t
wanted no more of it.
But greed is a deeply Embedded
instinct. It may be blind and 1t may
be stupid, but its power Of survival
has been demonstrated throughout
history. 1t will have its representa-
tives within and surrounding the
new Congress, all wholly unaware
that a limit may also have been
reached in this country.

lands government could easily have
made an arrangement with Hitler
in 1910 and spared Holland the
greatest devastation Of its history.
The Dutch government fully was
aware that the Nazis intended to
attack Holland on their way to Bel
GUM and France, but instead Of
yielding to the overwhelming Nazi
military might they preferred to
fight and see their country de-
stroyed. This was In keeping with
the true democratic principles Of
the Dutch government and the
overwhelming majority Of its people.
Today Holland, by entering the
five-power defense bloc, has become
one of the spearheads Of that Or
ganization. The Hague government
is fully aware that its attempts at
self-defense will not last long If
the Soviet Union ever decides to
launch an attack on Western Eu-
rope. In case Of such an attack
it is said that the Dutch govern
ment will be transferred to Java or
Sumatra rather than to Africa.
To Eliminate Subversives.
Because of this possibility, even
though it is somewhat remote at
this time, the Dutch government
is loath to see either Of those two
islands in the Indies controlled by
the agents of the potential enemy
The Dutch government has made
it clear that 1t does not intend to
do away with the Indonesian Re-
public. On the contrary, 1t wants
to strengthen it. But it Is deter
mined to do what some Of the
greater powers have been too timid
to undertake, that is to eliminate
the Moscow-trained subversives who
aim eventually to control the East
Indies, which contain rich sources
of strategic materials.
The Communists already have
scored a big success in China,
where Moscow-trained Mao Use
tung has defeated the forces Of
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
while the United States stood on
the sidelines, an uninterested spec
tator. The same thing could happen

For the sake Of its own security
and that of its Western associates,

in spite Of any wrong ideas her
rulers may have obtained in recent
years, this Is democratic country;
that the wealth 1t pours out in its
foundering efforts to make human
society everywhere more tolerable
is the wealth of all the American
people and it cannot be bestowed
without the approval OF all the
people, and that our people no
longer approve of what the
Chinese rulers have to offer in the
name of democracy. Therefore, we
are saying, the Chinese rulers are
on their own from this point for
ward, to make the best arrange
ment they can with all the millions
of their people now in revolt. II
and when China has q government
representative of and dedicated to
the interests of all the Chinese peo-
pie, our helping hand may once
more be extended.
Case of Indonesia.
In the case Of Indonesia we are
speaking not to the natives but to
the Royal Dutch Government, since
we have somewhat forgotten the
spiritual language Of the Indone-
sians-the language we knew so
we'll in the days when we fought
for and won our own independence.
To the business minded Dutch we
are talking as busineSs-minded
Americans and we are saying, "Ap-
parently, you got us wrong. Really,
we don't do business that way. OF
course, you've seen some Of the
things we've been doing in Ger
many; of course, you know how
busy our Big Business has been
everywhere in the world, seeking to
arrange all the broken bits Of in

and Italy thumbed their noses at

Please don't try to tell me how to

glasses. I have tried every known
method, as well rs many that aren't

in trying not to lose my glasses, as
to give up wearing them, with the
result that in my semiblindness I
knock them of the mantelpiece
and step on them. I have tried
gluing them on, and tying them on
with stout string, but invariably
they manage to get of and disap-

argues-with a good deal Of rea-
son-that in event Of another world
conflict the U. N. will be as inef-
fective as was the old League Of
Nations.
In private conversations in Wash
ington and Paris the Dutch point
out that If the nations which are
still outside the Iron Curtain had
genuine faith in the effectiveness
of the U. N, they would not be so
anxious to create and strengthen,
with all military means at their dis
posal, the five-power Western de-
Tense bloc, of which the Neither
lands Is a member.
The Dutch government has proved
conclusively that some members Of
the Indonesian Republican govern
ment are graduates of the Lenin
school, which prepares agents for
subversive activity abroad.
Off-Record Statements.
In off-the-record statements Of
their case to the governments in the
Western defense bloc, the spokes-
man for The Hague point out that
Russia and her satellites have ig-
nored everything the U. N. stands
for. To continue an unrealistic
policy by permitting the active in
filtration of Communism into areas
which are vital to the defense of
Western civilization, simply because
those areas do not conform to the
tenets of the U. N. in their political
organization, would be to run very
grave risk.
Moreover, 1t is reported in diplo-
matte circles that the Dutch diplo-
mats have cited some Of the facts
of life in their private conversations
with the representatives Of the
other Western governments, which
are putting pressure on The Hague
to order a cease-f1re and to with
draw its troops to the lines from

ton started.

House Report Unable
To Link Grain Profits
To Inside Information

A House subcommittee reported
today it was unable to prove that
grain spectators it investigated
last winter used inside Government
information to reap profits.
But it declared some lard dealers
realized substantial profits" wher
a Commerce Department employe
disclosed ALLEGATION plans two days
ahead of the official announcement
in September. 1947
The subcommittee headed by
Representative Andersen, Republi-
can, of Minnesota, charged that
Government grain buying during
the past two years was mainly re-
sponsible for high grain prices and
played major part in rising food
prices. The four Republican men,
bers signed the majority report.
Called Attack on Policy.
A minority report by Representa-
tive Mccormack, Democrat, of Mas
sachusettS, and two other Demo-
cratic members, retorted that this
criticism of Government grain pur-
chase policies was IAN indirect at
tack upon the great program of
world recovery which the United
States has been following since the
war"
I'VE have heard much of the BIZ
partisan nature of our foreign pol
icy and we have assumed that this
was an accepted fact" the mi
nority stated, 1T comes as a
shock, therefore, to learn that the
committee majority has chosen to
bring the effectuation of the policy
into question"
The report, the third made by
the subcommittee. covered Govern
ment grain transactions from July !,
1916, to June 30 l943.
The nearly 100000 900 bushels OF
grain exported by the United States
during this period was the con-
trolling factor which caused scarcity
and higher prices for grains and
feed for livestock, the report said.
The large exports, it added, also
led to decreased supplies of beef,
pork, poultry, and dairy products.
Total food exports, the report said,
were approximately 3S,200,000 tons
for the two years, plus about
100000 tons of such products as
cotton and tobacco. The value of
all exports was about $7,199, ,604 900,
the report added.
The report traced in detail the
record of Government grain pur-
chases. and said price fluctuations
generally followed the Govern
ment's buying schedule
An examination of speculation
during this period shows that sew
eral grain spectators sold wheat
and other grains short with large
profits accruing" the report said.
The committee has not been able to
prove that any of the spectators
had received advance information
from Government sources"

Not so in the case of lard, the
