out an enemy and this proves to be
wrong, the nation will face defeat
in the next struggle unless it is
prepared to give battle in other
ways.
We hope that the Vinson Com
mittee will not dodge the question
before it and that thorough in
vestigation will be undertaken to
ascertain whether the possibility
Of strategic bombing has been ex-
aggerated. There must be more
than a publicity campaign for a
larger air force, the boasts of en-
thusiasts and the political tempta-
ton to help out to the public an as
ured and cheap victory from stra-
tegic bombing.
Why Not Scatter Government?
If the atomic bomb, presumably
to be used in the future conflict,
makes the eastern part of the
United States more vulnerable to
the attack of the. enemy, the danger
to the physical plant of the Govern
ment in Washington is obvious.
Consequently, Representative
Wright Putnam of Texas has in
PRODUCED a resolution to authorize
House committee to study the
question of shifting the nations
capital westward or establishing a
No. 2 capital beyond the Missis-
sippi River, particularly in the
Colorado area.
There can be no harm in the
study which the Texas wishes to
have undertaken. Moreover, there
exists no good reason why many
governmental agencies, now in
Washington, could not be estab-
lished in other regions. Certainly
the dispersion of governmental of
fices would be a partial protection
against unexpected and overwhelm-
ing bombing attacks.
There is no earthly reason why

Thus, it seems, despite the OPP
position of some anti-British seq
ments of our population, the COM
mon language, culture and civiliza-
ton are gradually exerting steady
pressure upon the two peoples EN-
phasized by the common threat
that presents possible peril to
their way of life. 1t is almost in
evitable that the two English-speak-
ing peoples, and their, democratic
associates, will work together to
preserve what the ages have pre-
scented to the present generation.
Will Republican Germany
Cooperate?
Theodor Heuss. 65-year- old. new
ly elected President of the Federal
Republic of Germany, is described
as a liberal professor and journal
ist. He is the first man to hold the
office since the death Of Field Mar
shall Paul Won Hindenburg, in 1894.
The new President of Germany
faces serious obstacles in connec-
ton with the affairs of his country.
Now divided into two segments,
with Berlin under joint Allied con-
troll, the natural effort of the Chief
Executive will be to accomplish, in
good time, the reunion of all Ger
many.
More serious, perhaps, will be
the effort to rebuild the shattered
economy of Germany This does
not mean that the near future will
see revival of German industrial
strength, but some progress must
be made, both for the good of the
German people and the welfare of
Europe.
President Heuss emphasized the
sovereignty of the eleven states
that make up the Federal Republic
and appealed for national unity but
emphasized that he was against
centralism, which he asserted, had
led to Nazism in the past.
1t is impossible for any one to
venture prediction as to the sue
cess of the present Republic in Ger
many or whether such a govern
ment would be able to succeed if
the component parts of Germany,
remaining after the war, could be
united. The earlier German Re-
public gave way to the propaganda
of Adolph Hitler, who blamed all
/ the ills of the Germans upon the
/ outcome of the first World War.
Herr Heuss, it is expected, will
not make the same mistake but
there is no telling whether another
demagogue like Hitler will arise to
mislead the German people.
1t would be matter of general
satisfaction if the people of Ger
many develop their democratic pro-
cesses and. in a spirit of loyalty
to freedom, join hands with the
Western nations Of Europe in the
defense of modern civilization. In

Informal Anglo. American Unity


For many decades the foreign
policy of the United States, in con-
nection with admittedly friendly
governments, has been to treat all
alike but the recent financial talks
in Washington give practical rec
ognition to a special relationship
between Great Britain, Canada and
the United States.
This fact is not pointed out in
the communiques issued by the
governments. In fact. our officials
have operated on the theory that
Great Britain means no more and
no less than any other friendly
country The pressure of facts. how
ever, has changed the picture. re-
CARELESS of official pronounce
ments.
We should not overlook the fact
that the Joint chiefs of staff, which
operated during the war to coordi-
nate the armies of Great Britain
and the United States, still exist.
Moreover, there have been an
Anglo American partnership in
Greece, a joint operation in Ger
many and the concept of con-
tanning Soviet Russia in Europe is
an Anglo-American operation.
The significance of the currency
conference in Washington is that
the United States treats a British
crisis as matter of peculiar con-
Germ to this country. American of
ficials have CONSULTED British Off
Gals in am effort to find a cooper
ative solution to the crisis and the
United States has promised that it
will try to do certain definite
things in order to help the British
weather their economic storm.
This development of policy is
somewhat apparent in the Joint
statement issued by Secretary of
State Dean Acheson and British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.
after the first of a series of explo-
ratory talks on the world situation.
Referring to a community of
views" on most of the issues and
a similarity of opinion toward OBJ
jectives," even when their govern
ments differed, the foreign policy
leaders announced that further
meetings would be held and that
the closest of consultations be-
tween the governments" would
continue.
The first talks of the Secretaries
and their staffs were concerned
with problems of the Far and Mid
die East, designed to analyze the
developments facing the two gov
ernments i4asstheses Gegions. NO at
tempt was made to reach specific
agreements but emphasis was
placed upon a common understand
ing of the situation and the de-
velopment of policy along parallel
lines.

Washington, D. c. - This is
bit early to be talking about base
ball in 1850, but since we went out
on a limb and took the Detroit
Tigers for pennant winners just
ten years ago, when everyone else
chose the Yankees, we will be the
first to do same again this year.
Everyone will probably take the
Yanks for 1850. We take the Tig-
ers.
True, the Tigers did disappoint
this year, for the first half, but
when they started rolling it was
like a distant rumble that every
one heard in the background. They
moved out of nowhere IN July up
to five and a half games off the
pace in early September. They had
a chance to make it. But the Red
Sox and the Yankees managed to
cool them off in four straight.
NeWhouser lost a 10 game in
the four defeats, and Trucks, HUGH
inson and Houtteman also bit the
dust. But they have not gone down
easily this year, and they have
won four straight on quite a few
occasions. At one time in Septem-
Der, the Tigers had wor eighteen
out of twenty games. That is base
ball in any mans league.
During the winter Detroit will
make a few trades. If they land
some powerful sluggers, they will
be even more dangerous than ex-
pected.
In the National League, we will
also go out on a limb and take a
shot at the 1850 winner-again,
the Cardinals. Now it may not be
and if it is true, the Tigers (as-
Stunning they win the A. l.. flag
under Red Folfe's rebuilding) will
be in for rough series play. In
1884 the Cards cooled the Tigers
and Mickey Cochrane In 1910 the
Tigers bowed to Cleveland. In 1885
they had whipped Chicago. In 1916
they again defeated Chicago to
take the Series. So you see, in
1885, 1910, and in 1915 the Tigers
have won A. L. pennants. Every
five years.
The Cards, it is true, are not
getting younger, but they have
two returned pitchers, Martin and
Lanier, and flock of others.
Musial may get off to a better start
next year. The Cards could sew it
up early in 1850 if they roll from
the start. Of course, there is al
ways Southworth and his manager
ial wizardry and Burt Shotton, and
tougher Giants, possibly. But the
Cards will have to get the nod, for
a while at least.

The bureau said that despite
the increase in unemployment
there also was rise In employ
ment from April to May.
1t said one reason the number
of jobseekers-outside OF farming
rose faster than the number OF
Job opportunities was because
school-age youths turned out for
summer or post-graduation work.
Because of the seasonal upswing
in farming, employment moved
