GERMANY:
CTS to Stoy

Russia might do as she pleased
about occupying Germany, but the
western allies intend to keep their
troops in that country whether or
not the Russians pull out.
THAT was the statement of a
west German government spokes-
man who indicated this was one
of the decisions reached at the
big three Paris conference.
U. S. secretary of state Dean
Acheson and German chancellor
Konrad Adenauer had agreed upon
the need for keeping western troops
in Germany.
This same spokesman said the
appointment of Soviet Marshal
Konstantin Rokossovsky as COM
mander-in-chief of the Polish army
was construed to mean that Rus
sian troops would be Withdrawn
from eastern Germany soon.
EVEN THOUGH the Russians
should withdraw their troops, this
same source said, the Russian
secret police and the Soviet-trained
German peoples police still would
remain.

ITALY:,
New Weapons

Experience, though ha r d
teacher, is supposed to teach well.
In international events, however,
this doesn't always follow.
FOR INSTANCE, Italy, two-time
foe of the democracies in as
many world wars, will be rearmed
soon if top-planners of the Atlantic
pact countries have their way. Dis
cussions looking toward rearming
the Italians under the Atlantic pact
already were underway between
high-ranking u. S. and Italian mill
tary officers and diplomats.
James C. Dunn, U. S. ambassa-
dor to Italy, attended the first of
a series of closed sessions aimed
at undermining and re-equipping
Italy's treaty-limited armed forces
under the Atlantic pact's defense
system.
ITALY'S RECORD in connection
with disservice to the democracies
smells to high heaven. In World
War I the country started out with
Germany and the Central Powers
and turned coat only when it was
evident her side was losing. In
World War II, she started out with
II Duce Mussolini and forsook him
only when it became apparent she
was on the wrong horse again.

FARM RATS:
A Formula

The farmers in the Rio Grande
tomato fields were beginning to
get results in their interminable
war on rats after garnishing their
crops with poisoned grain.
A FEW WEEKS AGO the rats
were swarming into tomato and
green pepper fields near La Grul-
la, Tex. They spread methodically
up and down the Rio Grande until
the invasion covered a 15-mile
strip, one to two miles wide in
places. Farmers lost first pickings
completely in several fields.
Then they began to dust their
crops with poisoned grain. Said
grower Ralph Jones: "That poison
sure does the business. It's stopped
the losses"
But not before serious damage
was done to 1000 irrigated and
cultivated acres.

RAILS:
Fares Up

The third fare increase for east
ern railroads in the past three
years has been authorized by the
interstate commerce commission.
The increase this time amounted
to a 1875 per cent hike in rail
passenger fares in the East, esti-
mated to give the railroads anoth-
er 1913 million dollars a year in
revenue.
THE RISE applies to the area
east of the Mississippi river and
north Of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers. Commuter fares were not
to be affected.
In 1947 these same roads were
granted a 10 per cent boost in
passenger fares, and last year
another hike of approximately II
per cent. Southern and western
railroads did not apply for the in
crease granted the eastern roads.
THE NEW RATES, it was said,
would raise eastern coach fares
to about 3.37 cents a mile, and
parlor-car and sleeping-car fares
to about As cents mile.
| In New York, a railway official
said the new increase would boost
one-way coach fares from New
York to Chicago from $27.30 tc
$3O.75. First class fares would be
raised from S36.35 to $4089.

Study Business Failures

Although small business failures
are not happening at an alarming
rate, and as matter of fact are
far below the rate which was con-
sidered normal back during the
lush years of the 1905, a joint
congressional economic committee
has been studying the causes and
effects of these failures. One rea-
son considered was the lack of So
called "risk" capital. Commercial
banks are not permitted to make
this type Of loan today. And so one
proposal is to form number Of
capital banks in each federal re-
serve district which would make
risk loans to smaller enterprises.
The banks would operate under the
authority of the federal reserve
bank and under general policies
laid down by congress and ad-
ministered by the federal reserve
board.

STRIKE ENDS:

Armistice day, with the CLIO steel
workers winning demands for an
industry-financed insurance pen

PEACE TRY:
Reds Asked In

Russia's Andrea Vishinsky had
said, in effect, to United Nations
members: Set up an atomic con-
troll system of periodic inspection
Of manufacture and materials, and
Russia will let you in to inspect
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, this
week and next week-but instead
you want to inspect from minute
to minute. day by day, week by
week.
THE U. N. didn't 60 for that.
Russia, its members claimed, was
referring only to declared manu-
facture and materials, but what
of the hidden and undeclared'
production and stockpiles. Vishin-
sky got nowhere with his proposal.
Then, the U. N. turned around,
placed the shoe of warmongerlng
on the foot upon which they felt
It belonged. The United States and
other western powers called upon
Russia to stop its campaign of
hate" and cooperate in l2-point
program for peace.
The IL points were: Stop threat
ening or using force contrary to
the U. N. charter. Stop interfering
with the independence of any other
country and the fomenting of civil
strife. Carry out in good faith al!
international agreements. Afford
all U. N. bodies full cooperation.
Promote full freedom of religion
and political expression and full
respect of all other fundamental
rights. Promote higher standards
of living for all peoples. Remove
information barriers. Participate
fully in the U. MS work. Settle
international disputes peacefully.
Cooperate in ornaments control.
Agree to exercise national sover-
eighty jointly with other nations
to attain international control OF
atomic energy. Urge five big pow
ers to broaden their cooperation
in the security council of the U. NJ,
and to exercise restraint in using
the veto.
THE FIRST REACTION of those
conversant with Russian policy as
it has been manifest thus far must
have wondered if the western pow
ers had taken complete leave OF
their senses in making any such
proposal to Moscow. They might
as well have asked the Russians
to turn over the Kremlin to the
Christian Endeavor society, enroll
Joe Stain as Boy Scoutmaster
and to turn the politburo into
Sunday choral society. Even g
kindergarten child would have
known better than to expect Sovie
agreement to any of the IL points

A-BOMBS:
Men at Work

According to British-licensed
Berlin newspaper, the Telegraf,
Russians are operating a plant
near Berlin to produce explosives
used solely for making atomic
bombs.
THE PAPER, giving no authori-
ty for the source of its Informal
ton declared, nevertheless, that
the plant where the explosives are
being made is the peoples owned
Teerchemie plant in Erkner, SUBJ
urban east Berlin. The newspaper
story said 600 workers were en-
ployed on the project.
1t said the plant produced a
chemical called "carbazol," which
the paper described as highly ex-
plosive.

SWEDEN
ToIks Back

The United States senate, COL
lectively and individually, has
been called by some colorful and
lurid names-but it remained for
some Swedish editors to hurl the
most devastating blast at that au-
gust body.
A SWEDISH NEWSPAPER, the
liberal afternoon Expressen, had
this to say:
"The U. S. senate is certainly a
high assembly, but it is also
dumping place for all sorts OF
quaint characters and the most ig-
norant politicians from the dark
est corners of the union. And it
must, be pretty dark in Oklahoma
The shaft was aimed, really, at
Oklahoma's Senator Thomas, a
Democrat, who was critical of the
way Sweden had received a sem
ate appropriations subcommittee
visiting Marshall plan countries to
see how u. S. funds were being
used.
Sweden, it appeared, had re-
ceived quite a bit of Marshall plan
aid, but had sort of "snubbed''
Thomas and his committee. Thorn
as declared the country to which
he referred" in his criticism. ex-
pressed in Vienna, "had helped no
one in the past 1876 years." and if
it got any more Marshall plan
funds, it would be over his pro-
test.
The "QUAINT CHARACTERS
and "most ignorant politicians
the Swedes referred to in the sen
ate, or who had ever been mem
Der of it, included some right in
fluential fellows who might have
much to say about continuing
Marshall plan aid - among them
President and former Senator Har
ry S. Truman.

Power Issue Spreads
IN WASHINGTON


WHEN ONE THINKS of hydro
w electric power, the average
person at once turns to the far
west or the far northwest, where
these great dams have been con-
structed to harness the rivers for
the development of cheap public
power.
Therefore, it seems almost in
congruous that hydro-electric pow
er and the cost of private power
has become burning issue in the
highly industrialized New England
states.
The facts are, however, the
power question has become so
important it is involved In the
coming political campaign with
the Democrats promising to
harness some Of the rivers in
.he New England section to
provide cheap public power and
the Republicans pointing to the
coverage of the solidly indus
trial sections, even the rural
areas, with privately owned
electricity.
There can be no denying the
fact, however, that New England
as a whole has the highest indus
trial and residential electric rate
in the nation. This question is not
new one in New England. 1t has
been seething since industry began
to move away from the New Eng
land states, starting with the tex
tile industries. And labor leaders
declare it is not southern labor
which has lured so many of these
industries away from New Eng
land and into the southland, but it
is the high cost of electricity.
