BURGLARS GET SIS
FROM REDWOOD SCHOOL

Theft of approximately SIS
from the Redwood high school
building was reported to Sheriff
H. S. Roosa, Monday. The theft,
second at the school this year,
took place some time Saturday
night or Sunday by burglars who
broke glass on the boiler room
door.
Supt. II. R. Fisher discovered
the burglary at 8 a. m. Sunday
and Immediately called Sheriff
RooSa. Efforts were made to
break open small safe in Supt.
Fishers office, but were in vain.
Papers were also scattered about
in the search for money, in both
the superintendent and princi-
pals offices.
The Redwood school was also
burglarized last fall, following a
football game, when 5000 was
stolen.

How We EARN Our Profit

In addition to providing market for livestock and
many other agricultural products, Swift performs
many essential services for producers and
Most people can't go to farms to buy their meat
neither retail dealers Swift brings the meat to
them We have been doing this big, necessary job for
62 years, efficiently and economically.
Here are the services Swift & Company performs
to its small profit:
u We buy livestock and many other products that
farmers and ranchers raise; then process and dis
tribute them
p We process, brand, and perform all the many
necessary operations to prepare our products for
market and consumption.
81 We utilize all by-products. Every part that
be used is processed and sold in various forms. The
income from this increases the price of live
stock to producers, decreases the cost of meat to
consumers.
4) Our research finds new uses and new markets for
farmers and ranchers' products
81 Our Martha Logan experimental kitchens test
foods under home conditions, SO that Swift prod
ucts may give consumers the greatest possible salts
faction and value per dollar.
g. We pay transportation charges on our finished
products delivering them to dealers in all parts of the
United States. This makes broad, nationwide mar
ket instead of limited local market for the products
of livestock producers.
y We provide employment and a livelihood good
wages, good working conditions and security-for
$1,000 people who work for Swift & Company.
Our earnings for all this we're one cent on each
dollar of sales.

Conservation of Our
Land Resources
by Fl. II. kildee, Dean of Agriculture
Iowa State College

During recent years we have become increasingly
conscious of the Importance of conserving our land
resources. Accordingly, have initiated conserva-
tion programs and practices which are sound and
logical. Such action and is urgently needed not
alone for the current generation but as obligation
to generations yet unborn AS result of the pro-
grams adopted, much land (which because of its
character and slope was being destroyed by erosion)
has been turned back to grass Thus expanding live
stock production has become an increasingly impor-
tant part of the program of conserving our natural
resources.
Continual sale of crops off farm or ranch results
In serious loss of plant food But the maintenance of
plant food elements in the soil is urgently needed if
our crop land is to continue to provide adequate
quantities of human food Livestock farming is help
ing accomplish this. For when land is used for graz
mg rather than for crops soil erosion ceases and the
unnecessary loss of plant foods is checked

This Changing World
3.Nation Protest on Communist Seizure
OF Czechoslovakia Seen Futile Gesture

posed his European Recovery Pro-
gram last June, the country retained
vestige Of liberty and democracy
which now has vanished.
Russian communism thus rounds
out its Iron Curtain around all OF
Eastern and Central Europe-ex-
cept for Greece. where American
arms and American military ad-
visers are providing sinews Of war
and guidance for those who are
actively fighting communism.
The casualty list OF those states
which have fallen to communism is
impressive Romania, Bulgaria,
Yugoslavia, Albania, Hungary, Po-
land, Finland and now Czechosl0-
vakia. The democratic affinities of
all the others may be called into
greater or lesser question, but there
could be no doubt of the firm estab-
lishment of democracy In Czecho-
slovakia after World War I and of
its remarkable success in spite OF
the heterogeneous character OF the
people.
Seen as Heavy Loss.
To this extent the loss OF Czecho-
slovakia as a fundamentally demo-
cratic state-even though its actual
policies were frequently integrated
with those of Moscow-is a heavy
one. just as the passage OF the
Czechs under Hitlerite rule at
Munich in 1888 was a signal loss
for the nations which were opposing
Hitler. SO their passage under Com
munist control now is an irretriey-
able loss.
It took a war and the sacrifice OF
millions of lives to free all the ma
tions which like Czechoslovakia
were enslaved by Hitlerism. World
War II finally became inevitable
when the anti-Nazi powers came to
realize that Hitler's seizure of ma
tions would never cease until he was
defeated by force of arms.
The world Is in the presence of
the same cold, hard fact today. The
anti Communist nations are grad
ually coming to realize that yeSter-
days Hungary and today's Czecho-
slovakia will be followed by tomor-
rows - Austria, Finland, Italy
France? The coercion of states into
the Communist fold will go on and
on until it is halted by a stone wall
coalition of states which refuse to
permit further Russian aggrandize-
ment.
The American people-like every
other democratic people In the
world-must begin to pay serious
attention to the question of how
far they will suffer communism tc
expand. They have already in.
dorsed the Truman Doctrine under
which Greece is being preserved a
a bastion of democracy and they
support, with some misgiving over
the cost, the Marshall Plan fo1
Europe's rehabilitation. Without
doubt they would 60 farther anc
support a much tougher policy o1
anticommunist action than any W.
have hitherto pursued, particularly
after the events of the past week.
Evening star., 1948-02-27


by now. Look Constantine Brown.
ing back over the protests which
the Western powers have made over
repeated Communist coups in Eu-
rope, one realizes that Washington,
London and Paris might well have
spared themselves the effort, If they
were not so concerned to keep the
record straight.
The record, indeed, has q certain
limited importance, but it will have
no restraining influence on gang
which has NO respect for the record
and, in fact, looks forward to writ
ing its own record when the world
is safely under Communist domina-
ton.
Victories Won With Ease.
Needless of the record of world
history, Russia has moved from
victory to victory with q degree
of ease which should make Adolf
Hitler and his henchmen green
with envy. Only in France and
italy did the Reds suffer anything
resembling a setback, and that was
only in the nature Of a temporary
|repulse.
In the wake Of those reverses Rus
sia needed another quick coup,
both to enliven the French and
Italian Communists and to put new
spirit into Communist parties every
where. Czechoslovakia offered that
opportunity.
1t was not a spectacular victory.
for Czechoslovakia already was
under the shadow Of the Kremlin
before the events of the past week
began to roll up another tide Of
Communist success. But 1t was an
important victory in that it showed
that communism continues to
march in Europe and will continue
to march until it is faced with the
iron hand which says, mo farther. "
Was Under Red Influence.
Although the Czech government
was already heavily Communist in
filtrated-with Communist premier
and seven other Communists in the
cabinet-and Czech foreign policy
already was heavily under Kremlin
influence, as we found out when
Secretary of State Marshall pro-
