BERLIN:
Reds Want Talk

II the United States and Britain
looked with a jaundiced eye on
Russia's public offer to lift the Ber-
lin blockade, it was thoroughly I'M
derstandable. Too often the Soviets
have held out the olive branch or
made apparent o%vertures that
never materialized to ease, the
crisis the Reds may have been de-
veloping at that time.
HOWEVER, the western powers
had virtually accepted the Russian
proposal to lift the Berlin blockade
in exchange for a four-power con-
ference on Germany. But it was
made very plain that acceptance
was based on the condition that
Russia had no secret strings at
tached to the offer.
A U. S. state department official
was quoted as saying that if Mos
cows policy actually stands as it
was reported in a dispatch by Tass,
Russian news agency, the way ap-
pears clear for the lifting Of the
blockade and a meeting of the coun-
Gil Of foreign ministers"
At the same time, however, It
was learned that the Russians were
told that the United States, Brit
ain and France do not intend to de-
lay their plans for unifying western
Germany and creating a German
government, probably by July Is.
SOME TOP officials believed the
Russian offers real purpose was to
delay this action, and indicated that
if this were the case it was most
uncertain whether a real and final
agreement on the Berlin blockade
would be reached any time in the
near future.
The Russian proposal was con-
strued as suggesting three concrete
means for reducing international
tension. These were outlined as %
proposal for a meeting of the coun-
Gil of foreign ministers on the SUBJ
Ject Of Germany; co lifting the
Berlin restrictions as soon as a
meeting date was fixed for that
meeting, and 90 direct negotiations
between Premier Stain and Pres
ident Truman on basic conflicts
between the United States and the
Soviet union.

FARM PROGRAM.
Who's Confused?

The administrations bold new
farm program was becoming SC
muddled that even its proponents
seemed to be less than certain OF
just what its purpose is, to say
nothing Of how much it will cost.
When the program was first pre-
sented, the general impression gen.
Grated by its proponents was that
it was a duality Of beneficence, as
it were-a device that would keep
up the price of farm products while
at the same time resulting in less
cost to the consumer.
TO CRITICS who callously
pointed out that it would require
tax money to finance such a pro-
gram and that both farmers and
consumers would have to pay those
taxes, the plans advocates an
swered that such persons simply
didn't understand the aims of the
proposal.
Then along came Agriculture
Secretary Charles F. Brannan with
a statement that indicated he didn't
quite understand it either, or if he
did, it was a new conception. Now,
the secretary vas saying, the plan
wasn't meant as a consumer SUBJ
sidy at all. No indeed, it was a
farm price support measure, aimed
at giving the farmer a fair re-
turn on his investment and his
labor.

leans in Shanghai, the entire U. S
fleet fled suddenly from Shanghai
evidently having abandoned Their
current plans for evacuation Of
American nationals from the scene.
THE GOVERNMENT was send.
ing some marines to Chinese troub.
led spots, but these were to do
only sentry duty.
United States action came despite
admittedly great p~rovocation. The
Chinese Communists, in their tri-
umphant surge across China to
Shanghai, had invaded the home
of U. S. Envoy ]. Leighton Stuart
in Marking and limited he was to be
held in custody.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Reds
broadcast a demand for American
and British officials to evacuate all
their aggressive forces" from
China.
Already British warships had
been fired upon and it was assumed
American fleet elements had fled
Shanghai in order to avoid any
such predicament as was exper-
fenced by the British vessels.
THE COMMUNIST threat to
Shanghai was increasing hourly
and despite Nationalist decision to
battle to the end, it appeared the
city's plight was hopeless.
Communist victory in China
would put all the western nations
in a ticklish position. For, with the
Reds in control of all China, those
who opposed communism would
be helpless and hopeless in event
Of a western-powers move to ap-
ply economic sanctions, if such a
step should be taken. If this pro-
cedure were not to be followed, the
western powers would be put in
the paradoxical position of recog-
nizing and trading with proponents
of an theology with which they
we're struggling in a cold war.

AUTO LABOR:
Floreup Looms

The nations coal mines didn't
present the only likely flareup in
labor-employe relations as bargain.
ing time rolled around in various
industries. Those who were in posi-.
ton to know held the opinion that
it was an uneasy peace" which
hung over the automobile industry.
UNION FLAREUPS had been
quelled at the Packard and Ford
motor companies and a temporary
work stoppage had halted body pro-
duction at the Briggs manu-
featuring company's plant.
The future Of labor relations in
the industry was as confused as it
was uneasy. Recent action by man.
ufacturers in cutting prices of auto
mobiles had brought accusations
from labor that the reductions were
only token" cuts, and did not rep
resent a fair action on the part of
the manufacturers.
However, with prices of other
commodities beginning to spiral
downward and easement of INSTALL
ment buying widened, it began to
appear that labor would be in a
vulnerable position by the time con-
thanksgiving time rolled around.
WHILE there was little in the
press about the intentions of dyna-
mic Walter Reuther, head of the
United Automobile Workers union,
there was slight doubt that the
fiery redhead would be in there
pitching for his union members
when the time came to sit down at
the bargaining table.
Would labor attempt to overreach
itself in bargaining or would it
recognize the trend of the times
and be content to hold present
gains? That was the question whose
answer would be anxiously awaited
by the citizen who is always in the
middle in such struggles-the aver
age American consumer.
