offers to supply foreign visitors with special voucher books permitting purchases up S100 it's equivalent
 in foreign curencies of raoned clothing items Tour ists bringing into the country their automobiles will also be given liberal gasoline allowances enough for 100 miles of driving during the first month of their stay. Judged from a strictly economic view point this relaxation of the rgors of austerity is no doubt justified it is intended primary to attract Americans and encourage them to leave more dollars in the country Purchases of British goods by foreign visitors can properly be regarded kind of export transaction and so long as the British remain short rations in order to stimulate exports it rational enough to permit some buying the spot by foreigners.
 Sensible though this procedure may appear as device for obtaining dollars it to phychologi- cally unwise to encourage tourists to buy clothing while the severely rationed British have to put up with shabby garments. The sight of fortunate aliens shopping about is almost certain to create re- sentiment not only against individuals but against their country And that means against the United States Even more irritating feel sure will be the spectacle of American visitors touring the country pleasure bent while the inhabitants, denied even gallon of gasoline for pleasure driving forced to patronze public conveyances or go about on foot.
 It is our belief that American tourists intending to spend their vacations in countries where goods are rationed should scrupulousy avoid giving offense They can do this only by submitting to the restrictions imposed upon the resident population That is good rule for nsurng welcome reception, and it is also the best way to have good time. For only minority of insensitive people really enjoy being set apart from their fellow men and allowed privileges denied to others merely because they happen to be the pos sessors of coveted dollars

hurt American prestige more than our sudden somersaalt on Pales- tine. Comparing US foreign pol icy with British policy, diplomats point out that the British are at least consistent. Even though you disagree with them, you always know where the British stand.
 But American poucy is unpredic- table. It is one thing one day, and another thing the next.
 For many years western Europ- can nations were in the habit of following Britain's lead. She was the strongest nation in the western world. But now, with the United States the most powerful, they prefer to follow us-provided they know where we are. However, it hurts any nations prestige to have to explain that its vote was re- versed because the United States turned a handspring.
 Note-Remarked one diplomat: "The United States is like the banker in a small town. You have many mortgages on other peoples houses. So we always tip our hats to you, and usually vote with you. But the small-town banker isn't loved by the people who come to him for money, and that's why we don't always love you"

No Arms for Russia
tNew York Times,

In a dispatch from Washington to this newspaper recently James Reston listed some of the principal reasons why the State Department is opposed at tnS time to general embargo on the exports of American products to Soviet Russia and other countries behind the Iron Curtain Among these reasons are CD the belief that if all-out trade war should develop between East and West this country would be called upon to provide indefinitely the materials that west ern Europe is now receiving from Eastern Europe-a development which would put still heavier strain on our economy-and (2 the fact that in such trade war the United States would lose 25 per cent of its manganese imports and 29 per cent of it's chromium exports both of which come from the Soviet Union MT Reston reported however that the GOV ernment was expected to announce a tighter ana tougher policy in the matter of licensing exports
 This has now been done with the Presidents proclamation recently under authority of l939 laW) that such items as airplanes and airplane parts, machine guns small and range-finders are war materials" and, as such may not be exported rom this country to Russia and other Eastern European countries without a license. This is sensible ana necessary measure obviously overdue in the light of recent disclosure that DC-3 and CAT transport plane engines have been sent from this country to Russia Certainly there strong and obvious reasons to De found in the record Soviet aggression why We should halt at once and entirely the sale to Russia of any thing that so directly strengthens the military might of Russia

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS

The first of the ten Hollywood screen writers, charged by the Thomas committee with being Communists, is now 'on trial. Of the ten, inside word is that six are Communists and four not. The latter refused to answer questions because of honest conviction that Congress had no right to ask a man what party he belongs to.
 Two years ago, D. c. jury re- fused to convict Dr. Edward Rum ely for contempt of Congress when he refused to answer questions about who contributed money to his Committee for Constitutional Government.
 Rumely was backed by some of thes big oilmen, by some, of the Anderson Clayton cotton executives and by Frank Gannett, New York's powerful chain newspaper publish- CT. Rumely himself had served time after being convicted for trad- ing with Germany during World War I.
 However, the jury let him off when he refused to tell Congress who his financial supporters were.
 What influenced the jury was a charge by Judge James Proctor that the jury must be convinced Rumely did not willfully default in failing to produce the required records" and that "the word will fully must Ee interpreted as hay ing been done knowingly and with evil intent"
 Judge Proctor has now been promoted to the Court of Appeals, pr. Rumely still has failed to in form Congresses now required

UNPARTITIONING PALESTINE

AS delegates to the United Ma tions assemble in New York to consider unpartitioning Palestine most of them will have in the back of their minds certain back stage things which happened when they first voted for partition.
 For instance, the Liberian Gov ernment. largely dependent on the United States and the Firestone Rubber Company. last winter got a phone call from Harvey Fire stone. asking that Liberia vote for partition Haiti, also economically dependent on the USA, got a call from Adolph Berle, former Assis- tant Secretary of State, now ad- wiser to the President of Haiti. I The French Ambassador, follow ing hints from State Department friends urged his government to vote for partition. The Chinese Ambassador did likewise. Mexico, New Zealand. Colcmbia-all were discreetly pressured from Wash ington during the U. N debate in November.
 And having been told how to vote on Palestine last year, these nations now don't like to be told to vote the other way They con- sider themselves sovereign states, not puppets voting as Uncle Sam cracks the whip and calls the roll

SEPARATE STATES

A sensible suggestion on statehood for Alaska comes from U S. District Judge George w Folta who recommends that if the Territory is granted such status more than one should be created from the vast area that now makes Alaska
 It is quite probable that statehood will come some day When that time will be- no one can predict It is worthwhile, however. to consider the opinions of Judge Folta on how should be accomplished when it becomes fact.
 The Judge points to other former Territories oi the United States such as Oregon Louisiana ana Southwest Territories. These vast areas of land which were split up and admitted to the Union separately.
 Judge Folta believes that Southeast Alaska should he set LID as different State than the remainder of Alaska if we must have statehood. He explains that this area is isolated to a certain degree rom the vast wilderness that makes up the balance of the Territory.
 He points out that Southeast Alaska is compact init in it's present form and would be both easy and economical to administer. The Judge also says that the large number persons in this area, would then escape being saddled with the huge expenses o gov ernment which will be necessary to govern the other portions of the Territory.
 We don't recommend statehood at this time put we do feel that when it comes, Judge Fotas sug- gestions bear much value.
