 Evidence grows, despite disclaimers, of the Soviet hand in other grievous industrial te-ups, notably the coal miners strike which has already caused much economic ruin in Australia and where responsible government and labor leaders also urging against the te-up.
 It is little wonder that Canadian unions are moving to purge their ranks of Communists It is to be hoped they will keep control that reparable damage may not also be done in this country where the unionsts who and exercise have so far been able avert major industrial catastrophe through ill conceived and reckless strike action.

FOOLISH STRIKES

With the strike in Hawaii still unsettled, editorial comment on the recent London strike, made by the Prince Rupert Daily News pertinent and under the head, above, says
 The folly of i-advised strike action has once again been demonstrated with the decision of the London dock workers go back to work after having seriously tied up the great port for nearly month, causing much economic damage to the nation in the hour of it's extremity.
 The dockers are going back to their jobs on Mon day after having lost lot and gained nothing unless it may have been some bitter experience Not only the Labor government leaders but the union chiefs them- selves had pointed out to the dockers the fooshnes of their walk-out but they paid no heed until Harry Davis the leader of the Canadian Seamen's Union, came along and told them they had better give t

U. S. ARMY SWAPS FOR
 POLISH RYE

The Senate watchdog committee is investigating a deal whereby the Army plans to acquire 100000 tons of Polish rye from behind the iron curtain.
 The deal includes the British, who have been trading with Po- land and have thereby acquired 300,000 tons of Polish rye as part of their trade agreement
 The British people don't eat much rye, but the German people thrive on it. And, since rye is cheaper than wheat, the U. s. Army is satisfied to feed the Ger mans as much rye as they will eat.
 U. s. millers, realizing this, bought up several million bushels Of Canadian rye, but the Agricul- ture Department, which buys for the Army, won't take the Canadian rye off their hands for fear of dis couraging US. rye production. This leaves American miIIers hcldlng the rye tags.
 Meanwhile, however, the U. $ Army still needs more rye Tor Ger many and now is bartering U. s corn to the British for Polish rye Though the deal is being made with Britain, the, effect is to take rye off the hands of Polish millers while American millers are stil. holding the bag. In other words / we are bolstering the economy o1 an iron curtain country at the sacrifice of our own.
 Note-The Army made one other deal with Britain for Polish ryt last winter. At that time, 50,00(

 However, directive, Truman said, would obviate the need of the legislation sponsored by Engle ant Senator James Murray of Men ana, which provides for price sub sidies on domestic metals to enable American producers to compete with lower priced metal imports.

COL. McCORMICK'S INFLUENCE
 AT QUITO CONFERENCE

Although the fifth Inter-Ameri- can Press Congress, held in Quito, Ecuador, July l1-17, put up brave front and passed some highly com mendable resolutions, it was pri- vately a sad disappointment.
 Despite the best efforts of the organizing committee. headed by Carlos Mantilla, editor of Quito's leading daily, Fl Comercio, repre- sentation at the meeting was any thing but ample. Of the more than 100 delegates who turned up, only about 10 were sent by newspapers of any size or standing.
 Notably absent from the Con- gress were the big dailies of Mex ico City. Caracas, Rio De Janeiro, Montevideo, and Santiago, Chile. La Prensa and La Nacion, the only Buenos Aires papers invited, failed to send representatives.
 4 modest contingent from the U. S. press was present. The New York Times, Louisville Courier Journal and Chicago Tribune were the large dailies. with men on hand.
 The most entertaining character in the latter group was eager beaver Jules Dubois of the Chicago Tribune, whose attitude through out the Congress reflected the new found enthusiasm of his employer, Col. Bertie Mccormick, for Latin America.
 When the bombastic Tribune publisher made a fast dash around South America five months ago in his converted B-17, he formed some beautiful friendships. Colonel Ber- ties violent anti-British sentiments reused warm echoes in many a Latin who would like to see Eng land forced to relinquish such western hemisphere outposts as the Falkland Islands, British Hondur- as, and her Antarctic territories.
 Now, based almost wholly on this single common bond, the Tribune's traditional down-With-everything- foreign policy has been sharply modified where the other Ameri- cas are concerned The papers readers, accustomed to nothing but a snarl for any land where the Stars and Stripes doesn't fly have recently been treated to a some what naive series discovering" the virtues of our southern neighborS.
 The Quito Press Congress likewise offered clear evidence of political conditions throughout the contin- ent. Although all Caracas dailies were invited, every one of them re- fused when the military junta now running the country stepped in and took charge of the Venezuelan dele gation. As result, that nations contingent was headed by twC | priests who edit sectarlan weeklles in the interior
 The Dominican Republic grouI also showed, in it's scrupulous uni. formity of speech and action, what l9 years of Dictator Trujillo's rule has done to freedom of press il that land.
 Peruvian delegates, too, had only words of careful praise for Gen Manuel Odria, the fascistmindet little army leader who has govern ed their country by decree eve since he seized power last October No newspaper may operate in Perl unless it's give Ordias regime l0 per cent editorial support
 Facing this motley gathering a the opening session, hard-hittin President Galo Plaza made al eloquently outspoken attack oi forces which would restrict, regi ment, or seek to control the ire press. More than one delegat squirmed uneasily when Plaza, wh
