PROTECTING SMALL BUSINESS

|
 Hotly debated in Senate cloak rooms this week has been the ques- ] tion of whether the Senate Small , Business Committee shall continue as an independent body or become subcommittee under the Senate Banking and Currency Committee. One thing which the 80th Con- gress did well-despite all its other faults-was to operate a fearless, fortnight Small Business Com mittee. This was due in part to the astuteness of it's counsel, George Meredith and in part to the ramhunctiors belligerency of Senator Wherry of Nebraska, who was loud and vocal il his cham pionship of small business though his votes on the Senate floor were sometimes the other way
 Despite this good job, many Democrats want to merge the Small Business c, mmittee which has operated in ;s own right and make it merely subcommit- tee.
 Part of this opposition is because the Small Business Committee has stepped on too many big-business toes. Part also is based on the fact that if the Small Business Committee remains independent, it will be dominated by kindly, able Senator Jim Murray of Montana a highly respected statesman, but who is expected to appoint his son as counsel and operate as one-man committee. This criticism may not be justified, but it exists. And it may influence the fate of one of the most important committees in the Senate.
 CHINESE FACE" ! The exit of Chiang Kai-shek re- calls a famous photo taken in the White House garden of Chiang's brother -in-law, T. V. Soong, to- : gether with President Truman, and the then Secretaries of State, War and Navy-Edward Stettin- jus. Henry L. Stimson and James ". Forrestal
 The photo was arranged by ex- braintruster Tom Corcoran, attor- ney for the Chinese government, through his close friend, Forrestal, in order to strengthen Soong's hand in China and make it appear that he was the bosom friend of the President of the United States and his highest Cabinet members. The photo worked wonders. Face" (we call it prestige) means everything in China, and Soong came back to Nanking ace-high with everyone Also, it strengthen ed the position of Chiang Kai- shek. He and his family were con- sidered to have the 100 per cent support of the U. s. Government.
 IL was at about this time that General Marshall went to China as special Ambassador, and used all his persuasive powers to oct Chiang to take other leaders into his gov ernment, form a coalition cabi net. But Chiang refused He had various tokens, such as this photo to make him think he stood well with Marshalls superior in Wash ington.

DEAR DIR. EDNlAN: In travelling, do
you think it is all right to strike up CON-
versations with strangers you meet?
ANSWER: have had the good fortune in
my life to have had many opportunities for
travel, and when hear someone say that
travel is broadening. l think that the banal-
ity is quite true.
The education have derived from it has
come chiefly from conversation, above all
from conversations with strangers. have
found that one misses a great deal by
following the old injunction not to
speak until spoken to. On planes and
ships, on buses and railway platforms, both
in this country and abroad. I've met some
of the most delightful persons and had some
of the most stimulating vistas opened to me,
just by overcoming the shyness that pre-
vents one from speaking first.
Speaking to strangers is matter involv
ing some delicacy and discretion. First.
it is important to note quite promptly when
a conversational overture is being turned
down. A mere tone of voice, a mere gesture
is sufficient warning that conversation is
neither invited nor encouraged.
SECOND, one need not - on the whole it is
best not to - begin with oneself or the
stranger as a subject of conversation. 1t is
wisest and most natural to begin with the
experience being shared in common.
That would be harder to paint than it
looks" remarked an Englishman Id never
met. when he saw me peering out of the
window in a hotel lounge at the arc lamps
cleaning on wet village-square pavement.
It was the beginning of fine conversation
and Towering friendship.
Third, if the discussion does turn to per-
sonal matters. try not to talk about your

BIGGEST INAUGURATION EVER

IGGES INAUGURATION EVER
YESTERDAY, HARRY S. TRUMAN was inaugurated in
Washington as the 33rd President of the United States, Radio
and newspaper reports leading up to the big event claim that
this was to be the biggest such event in the nations history.
And snch an eOent it tUaS. In this day when the cold wal" is
stealing the headlines, and the east and west are farthestI
apart than at any time in history, the gap being opened by
sharp differences in political, social and economic ideaIogies,
an Inauguration of a president of/the greatest democracy in
the world gives news indeed.
BUT THIS Inauguration is significant for more reasons
than the free way of life it signifies. Anybody, who, on Nov
ember LIST had dared to predict that Harry Truman would be
elected President would have been considered psychic, and
efforts would have been made to have his head examined. The
victory of the man from Missouri, in the face of strong opposi-
ton, and a split within the ranks of the party he led, created
the biggest news of the year, and perhaps the decade, This
Inauguration, then, so far as the experts were concerned, was
to have been one for a Republican President. But the vote was
otherwise.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN is the peoples choice. 1t was
he who held faith in himself, and the comman man, whose
vote put him back in the White House. He carried the fight
to the people, made promises, and reiterated them, convinc-
ing his hearers that he meant what he said, His message to
Congress on it's opening this month indicates clearly that hel
meant what he said. What the people wanted was a contin-
.uation of many of the basic policies of the New Deal. They
were not yet prepared to return to that rugged individualsm.
The experiences of the years had shown that in a highly or
gained state, where life and industry are closely mtegrated,
the government, because of its very nature, would have to
take a more active and larger part in helping to protect the
interests and welfare of the masses. 1t can now safely be said
that it was fear of turning away from this striking realism
which caused SO many people to vote for the President. His
Inauguration yesterday, and the display accompanying it
was therefore the celebration which follows the victory of

one who, according to the OPP
position, was never conceded
even to place in the race.
CONGRESS, shortly after
opening its session this month
voted $l0O, 900 for the inaugu-
ration. Every hotel was filled
to bullying, and over half a
million persons swelled the
population of the nations CAPT
tai over the long festive week
end.
BY MONDAY it will all
be over, and the President, his
Cabinet, and Congress will
settle down to face the very

Last week you were working to
prepare a delicious meal for your
family's Christmas dinner. This
week you're probably thinking
it's time to bring the left-overs
of the dinner from your refriger-
ator and wondering how to use
them.
If you had turkey or ham, why
not try making shortcakes from
the leftovers. All you do is roll
your usual biscuit dough very
thin. Cut out enough biscuits for
top and bottoms of the shortcakes
and butter both sides. Spread
creamed turkey or ham between
the top and bottom biscuit and
also on top of the biscuits. Then
cook as usual.
A similar trick with biscuit
dough is to mix in chopped-up
turkey or ham as you mix in your
milk. Bake the dough and meat
in a salad ring mold. When it is
done, spread with cheese sauce
and serve.
To bring new life into a stale
cake, slice it butter the slices and
toast slightly under the broiler.
Cover with a fruit or chocolate
sauce or whipped cream.
Put the small bits of cranberry
sauce in a CONCEALED fruit salad.
The SAGE will add color and fla
vor to the salad.

How rarely we come to grips with
ourselves in the present. We quar-
rel enough with ourselves, but US
ually at a distance. Our regrets
apply TO our actions of the past. We
become Disguised with ourselves,
not for what we are doing, but for
what we have done. When we ex-
perience genuine sorrow for what
we are doing, we stop doing it.
We give orders to ourselves for
the future. We make splendid reSo-
lutions-for tomorrow. Someday
we will certainly break the habits
that are muddying our life, dis
turbing our happiness, killing our
soul. We will be better Christians
-someday. Life moves on. and we /
easily become, not better, but more |
like ourselves.
