Communists abroad do not want
to see their countries aided by
American capital and by mutual
development programs which will
raise standards of living. This
:. will give them less reason for
stirring economic and social dis
content.
''The petroleum Is ours" the
Communists scribble on walls all
over Brazil in an effort to dis
courage the government from
permitting foreign companies to
explore for petroleum. Peru is
self-sustaining in petroleum prod
ucts because it has permitted for
eign companies to come in.
Guarantees that the countries
involved and their people get the
major benefits from development
programing are essential to pre-
vent a revulsion against the in
vasion of foreign capital.
Issue Believed Clouded.
Many Africans and South
Americans I have talked with be-
lieve that the appropriation asked
by President Truman for re-
search and technical aid will be
better written out of the program
They believe that having the
American Congress argue about
these relatively small appropria-
tions clouds the issue and leads
Americans to believe they are
being nicked for another charity
donation.
Actually, much OF the technical
assistance program already is In

Guest Farmers
Praise Delaware

Two of 80 young Dutch farmers
in this country to study American
agricultural methods are living on
Delaware farms under the auspices
of the governments of both coun-
tries and American farm organiza-
tions.
AIRY de Bloois, a poultryman, is
staying on the farm of William
Richter, near Dover, while H. Con-
stance Van de Borch, who is in
terested in fruit production, is on
the farm of Frank Richardson at
Rising sur.
This is the first trip to this
country for these men and their
immediate answer to the question
How do you find the agriculture
in this country?" is that their agri-
culture is difficult to compare with
ours.
Though much of Delaware agri-
culture seems intensive to us, they
consider farming in Delaware eX-
tensive. They consider Delaware
farms large. In the country many
of their farms are "family-size
farms" of about two acres. There
are, of course, larger farms-some
fruit orchards are as large as 300
acres, with the average orchard Is
to 20 acres. There is considerable
mechanization on their farms ex-
cept the small family units which
are too small for machinery to be
operated.
Farmer Van de Borch says that
in spite of the intensive farming
in his country, Orchardists in H9l.
land are plagued with many of the
same production problems as those
J in Delaware. He says that he i:
all too familiar with apple scab
coddling moth, curcullo and ret
! mites.

The Most Valuable Player

The turmoil and the shouting, one
way or another, over the selection
of Ted Williams as the most val
liable player in the American
League for 1949 is fading out. But
there is one detail that will be re-
membered by those conducting this
poll-this is the matter Of waiting
until the two big league races are
over.
In this last season the poll
was ended with a week left to
60. This was like calling a
horse race In the stretch with
half a furlOng left. II Is a very
simple matter to wait until the
final play Is over. When Ted
Williams was voted the most
valuable player, It looked as n
the Red SOx were sure to win.
Up to that point Williams had
been big factor in the pennant
race. He was then the leading hit
ter in the league. He was In front
with runs driven in.
The judges who failed to give
RizzutO a vote must have been
covering basketball or the
races. They certainly saw no
ball games or looked at no rec
0rds. Or they would have select
