Autonomy for the Foroes

In these grim days, when the basic rights
and sovereignty of peoples, large and
small, are being brutally trampled under
foot, it is a heartening affirmation of
civilized idealism to see the wishes of a
minute segment of humanity voluntarily
granted by the larger power concerned.
This exception to the retrograde trend
is the Farce Islands, which have been
granted by Denmark an autonomy so
complete that it is only one step short
of independence. Except for the conduct
of its foreign affairs, which stpl remain
in the hands Of the Danish government,
the will of the Farce Islanders, as ex-
pressed through its local Parliament or
Lagting, Is supreme. The islands will
even fly a flag of their own.
That the Faroes should wish thus to
stand virtually alone in troubled world
is itself noteworthy fact, attributable
largely to the desire for local self
government which seems to be innate
in the Scandinavian peoples This re-
mote archipelago lies midway between
Scotland and Iceland, being trifle less
than 300 miles from either. Farce"
means "the sheep islands" and denotes
it's chief source of livelihood since early
times Despite their northerly latitude
the Faroes have relatively mild climate
since they are washed by the edge of the
Gulf Stream. Frequent storms and prev
alent high winds hinder the growth Of
trees, but abundant moisture favors the
coarse grass on which sheep thrive.
The islands themselves, twenty-one in
number, and probably of volcanic origin,
rise boldly from the surrounding ocean
to heights often exceeding 1000 feet, with
many plateaus and miniature plains,
often intersected by deep fjords There is
good harbor at Thorshavn, chief town
and capital Of the group. and center of
the fishing industry which is the islands
next important occupation. The total
land area of the group is $40 square
miles, the population being slightly under
$4,000.
/ Like Iceland, the Faroes were originally
settled by Norwegian Vikings; and, as in
Iceland, the Norwegian tongue persists,
| though both countries passed under
| Danish rule when Norway itself was
united with Denmark in the fourteenth
century It is presumably due in part to
| the revival Of Norwegian nationhood early
in the present century that Iceland re-
| Gently acquired an independence volun-
tarily granted by Denmark without demur.
The same spirit appeared In the Faroes,
and was further quickened by British

to prevent these potentially strategic
islands from being occupied by Nazi Ger
many. While Denmark was under Nazi
occupation, all contact with Denmark
ceased and the economic life of the Faroes
was diverted to Britain.
The Farce independence movement
reached its climax in the autumn OF
1916, when its advocates carried plebi-
scite on the issue, though by very small
majority. Thereafter, prolonged negotia-
tions ensued between the local authorities
and the Danish government which have
finally eliminated in the compromise
already described. Thereby. the Farce
Islanders are complete masters in their
own small house while retaining the
benefits of diplomatic protection from
Denmark. It would seem to be an en-
lightened solution of the problem.

Conoress and the Soviet Prod

Last January, when Congress began its
present session, only an optimist would
have been willing to bet on the adoption
of the European Recovery Program by
April /, the date set by President Truman
and Secretary Marshall.
Yet, for all practical purposes, that
deadline has been met. The only thing
that remains to be done is for Congress
to ratify the conference compromise
between the Senate version and the one
approved overwhelmingly by the House.
After that, within a matter Of hours, the
historic measure will be ready for the
Presidents signature.
The fact that Congress has seen fit to
approve this great and far-reaching
enterprise with reasonable speed and
resounding vote Is largely attributable to
q witness who has never appeared before
any House or Senate committee but who
has nevertheless testified most eloquently
In favor of prompt action. The witness
has been none other than the Soviet
Union. BY word and deed-by violent
propaganda against the European Recovery
program, by frankly stated resolve to

Czech coup and by an overall pattern
of conduct betraying an Unsuitable appe-
tite foB dominance through direct and
indirect aggression-the men OF the
Kremlin have offered by far the most
convincing case for the ERP. Had it
not been for them, had they played
possum, had they been less aggressive
in their behavior, Congress today might
still be debating the measure and offering
enact it.
Similarly, as things look now, the Soviet
Union is looming as the best possible
witness in support of swift congressional
action to revive the draft and inaugurate
Universal Military Training. Certainly
there could be few more powerful argu
ments for both projects than the high
handed and potentially explosive Soviet
decision to deny us the right to move
Nor could the timing of the decision be
better calculated to prod Congress into
undertaking other measures to revitalize
and strengthen our armed forces.
All this constitutes one of the mysteries
OF our time. BY their own acts, the
Russians seem crazily intent upon forcing
us to adopt the very measures they in
weigh against. Or is there some method
in their apparent madness? Are they
deliberately trying to incite us? And If
so, why? Whatever the answer, there
can be no doubt that they themselves
have been furnishing the most effective
arguments Of all for the free worlds self

This Is Hard to SwaIIow

Former GIs will find the culinary news
from Fredericksburg, Virginia, hard to
swallow. It seems that three Army cooks,
maintaining perfectly straight faces and
exhibiting the traditional brashness of
the corps, entered the annual Virginia
chefs contest the other day. This is the
big tournament staged by the Virginia
Chamber of Commerce to advertise the
wonders of Southern cooking in general
and Virginia cooking in particular.
The Army cooks, fresh from Camp Lee,
were well aware that the gourmets from all
over the country who composed the board
of judges had not come to Fredericksburg
to sample such military delicacies as baked
beans, SPAN and slumgullion. But, being
the resourceful souls that they are, they
did not let that faze them. They pro-
ceeded to cook up number of other
dishes, including some that have never
seen the inside of an Army kitchen in
any war to date.
Yes, 1t happened. The trio, without
batting an eye, ran of with top honors
for such tasty connections as baked shad,
apple fritters, candied sweet potatoes,
gingerbread and Il naturally - scrambled
eggs That should give GIs a general
idea of what the Army has come to since
General Eisenhower ordered Army cooks
to make things more appetizing for the
boys in the chow line. More specifically,
he ordered cooking schools set up not
only for the cooks, but for the officers in
charge of food buying and serving.
The Army cooks in the State contest
actually were instructors at the Camp
Lee cooking school, If they are teaching
the future crop of Army cooks to turn
out such mountaineering dishes as they
offered to the tournament tasters, a
miracle is taking place in the Army. If
the Army goes step further and makes
1t court-martial offense to serve "hot
cakes" cold, to boil dishrags in the coffee
or to pile meat, vegetables and dessert
into one merry mixture, the miracle will
be even more amazing.

Red Move in Korea

fresh complication in the tangled
problem of Korea appears to be in the
off1ng. The Communist regime in Russian
occupied Northern Korea has invited "all
South Korea political parties and organ
izations opposed to separate elections in
South Korea" to attend joint meeting
with North Korea groups, scheduled to
convene in Pyongyang, the North Korean
capital, on April ID. The object Of this
meeting will be "the establishment Of a
national Government"
The aim of this Red move is clear. It
is to disrupt and discredit the elections
occupied South Korea for native Gov
ernment. These elections were decided
upon by the United Nations Temporary
Commission which has been investigating
the Korean situation. Boycotted by Soviet
Russia and refused admission to North
Korea, the Commission has taken the
position already recommended by our own
authorities that native Government
should be set up in our zone of occupation.
This project has been bitterly opposed
by Soviet Russia and its native stooges in
both zones. The action of the North
Korean puppet regime indicates that 1t
is moving from mere opposition to active
competition with the u N. project Per-
haps the most interesting aspect of the
new Red program is its inclusion of certain
Rightist leaders in South Korea in the
invitations to the Pyongyang meeting.
Those leaders, while anti Communist, have
objected to the South Korean elections
because they did not cover the entire
country and an American spokesman in
Korea takes the view that it might be good
for these leaders to see at first hand what
is going on in the Soviet zone. From
their extreme nationalist viewpoint, II
would be better to have no native Gov
ernment anywhere than one which tacitly
acknowledged the zonal line which now
bisects Korea. The North Korean Reds
hope to capitalize on this ultra-national-
ist feeling; because they clearly aim te
proclaim Peoples Government" assert
ing jurisdiction over all Korea.
Meanwhile, the Communist-inspiree
campaign of violence against the coming
elections in South Korea is mounting II
intensity. Isolated police stations ART
attacked, acts of sabotage are committed
by terrorist bands, and civilians ar
warned MOTTO go to the polls on threat o
dire penaltie,. The indications are tina

Price Regulation a Mistake

To the Editor of The Star:
Is 1t not remarkable that the greatest busi-
ness Institution in the world, the Government
OF the United States, is conducted by men
who have little or no technical training for
their work, and who, as rule, remain In Office
only for short time?
Years of special training are required for
the professions and other callings. But it is
assumed that familiarity with political econ
omy, the science of statecraft, is not necessary
to the conduct of governmental business The
responsibility of administration is given to
amateurs instead Of to experts.
A good illustration of this has been the
Governments unfortunate regulation of prices
and rentals. The operation Of free competi-
ton, supply and demand, determines with exact
justice all prices and rentals. Merchants auto
matically fix prices which are the maximum
for the seller and the minimum for the buyer.
The same rule operates with equal justice
for. the benefit of all concerned in the fixing
OF rentals. The margin of profit is thereby
kept at an irreducible minimum Now when
the Government arbitrarily fixes prices or
rentals this results in the robbery either of
one class or the other.
Confusion and disaster are certain to follow
interference with natural law. Our colleges
and universities should lose no time in re-
storing the science of political economy to its
rightful place. HENRY WARE ALLEN.

Traffic in Easter Pets

70 the Editor Of The Star:
It Is hoped that the traffic in baby chicks,
rabbits and other small animals which usually
takes place at the Easter season will be curbed
or abolished. These little creatures suffer
unspeakable torture at the hands of callous,
ignorant or thoughtless adults who know
nothing Of their proper care and who buy
them for Easter pets. and by children too
young to understand the suffering they are
causing the helpless victims. Dealers should
not be permitted to sell the animals without
receiving full assurance that they will be raised
according to humane standards and giving the
customers complete instructions as to the
proper method OF caring for and raising the
animals. MINNIE BAILEY.
