policy to give even if one does not want to take It is now planned to give to Henry Wallace's Point Four Fiji Islanders, not bottle of milk, but cash money. The theory is that if nobody has the money to buy American goods, give it to them for nothing so that they can earn dollars, not to pay debts. but to compete with us. That way. we shall become rich!
 Bedaux foresaw the necessity Of doing plenty to the weak and back ward countries. He conceived tho wonderful idea of planting peanuts in Africa and building a pipeline across the Sahara Desert, through which to bring peanut oil to the Nazis. That the pipeline would also carry water and thus make the building of the trans-Sahara rail- road possible was incidenetal to bringing peanut oil to the Germans When Bedaux was prisoner Of the FBI, he made the point that he was really serving the United States, because he was diverting German steel from war purposes to peanut oil In fact, he figured that by 1946 he ought to be piping out 250,000 tons of peanut oil a year an enormous supply of edible fat.
 Well, Bedaux was caught, arrest ed, examined, and he committed suicide. But the peanut oil scheme is not dead That is now blossom ing forth as the British Socialists hope for Africa, to be paid for, of course, by the United States. The desert will bloom, the presses will crunch, peanut oil will pour forth as from a cornucopia.
 Now nobody can begrudge the Europena edible fats, whether from peanuts or otherwise; nor does one uuestion the British idea of develop ing great wealth in Africa to off set their losses in Europe and Asia. But the question does arise, what is it to cost the United States of America2 And after we have spent the money, what do we getY
 This is one of those Point Four propositions that is being present. ed so modestly to Congress that it looks like nothing at all. Just a few millions scattered here and
 there for charity! Actually, thS is the same grand old scheme that Henry Wallace once tried to oper- ate by establishing an international WPA, so that the meager 150,000,-
 900 Americans can carry t he bur den of supporting the entire hu- man race, even those who preferred to be let alone.
 Now, of course, this concept has a new twist, namely, the desire to relieve the British government of her responsibility for her colonial
 possessions, while guaranteeing ann pie profits therefrom. It means that we pay the bills, but they keep the colonies.
 This Point Four proposition, couched in the noble language of the Welfare State, can cost the United States lots of money before we wake up to discover that all we ] get is-peanuts

 Upshot of t all was that when five of the big 6-inch-gun cruisers came off the way, they had crack ed stern-posts-one of the most inn portant parts of the ship, for on it hangs the rudder. Not only did the stern-posts have to be replac- ed at a cost of sl50 o00-paid by the taxpayer-but all the new cruisers rolled so badly it interfer- ed with gunfire. This applied not only to the five cracked cruisers but to all of them. They had to be fitted with bilge keels and roll ing tanks.

Under the second method, the
