I rue Greatness
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Believes
Food Is Answer to World Peace

world federal government to which
he now devotes himself and for
which he will use the proceeds of
the Nobel Prize. A few weeks ago
he presided over the Congress of
World Federalist Organizations at
Stockholm.
BY recognizing his endeavors in
this field, the Nobel Prize Com
mittee has pointed dramatically to
this only sure and certain road to
world peace, and has given an
impetus to the world federal gov
eminent movement.
When you hear the rugged
Scotsman talk about the problems
Of food and of world federation
you become confident that both
can be solved, that these are not
idle dreams. For there is nothing
OF the theorist about him. He DOS
sesses that fine combination of
common sense and vision of one
who has come up from the soil and
has devoted his life to the prob.
lens Of agriculture and nutrition.
in which he is a scientist, and, at
the same time, he is q practical
sort of philosopher who instills
trust by his warm, human ap-
proach, and by a penetrating wit
that quickly recognizes the foibles
Of human beings. AS, for example
when he said:
Dividends in Well Being.
II can get. farmers interested in
the nutrition of their animals be-
cause I can prove it returns divi-
dends in hard cash. But I cannot
get them interested in the nutri-
ton Of their own BARNS, far less
in the BARNS Of other folks. Think,
man, the dividends that can pay
in human well-being, in lives full
filied-aye, and in hard cash."
He is fully aware of the ways of
men and nations, of how they raise
barriers against one another that
hinder development and distribu-
tion Of resources, including food,
and aware, too, that it is the re-
sulting poverty and hunger that
causes people to revolt against
their condition and cause wars.
"If," he says. "the governments
OF the world would begin to CO.
operate to develop the resources Of
the world, that would be the first
lstep toward world unity and
peace"

press.
There is also an argument over
to what extent the japanese vol
unfairly adopted democracy as
compared to what was imposed
from the top. An informed guess
is that a ratio of rs soap and Is

Whatever the true proportions,
the fact is that the United States

over Japan and is now paying her.
in effect, reparations. The Jap
anese are intelligent. practical and
the best-educated people Of the
Orient; this Is not lost on them.
Can't Criticize Occupation.
japanese are not allowed to
criticize the ocupation-a demo-
cratic practice?-and in any case
they have adopted. great and
small. an attitude Of invincible po-
liteness toward "the visitors" All
those interviewed praised United
States motives invariably but per-
mitted themselves to suggest that
sometimes the occupation appears
to go too far too fast; that the
customs and habits Of nations are
not so readily changed.
This hint that more gradualness
would be more successful comes
from sources with q long record
Of association with and friendship
for the West.
Toyko, of course, is not Japan
and the hurried visitor cannot
hope to read the people. This
task has been undertaken by,
among others. the noted Quaker,
Nora Vain. author of ''The House
Of Exile" and Reaching for the
Stars" who Is putting her conclu-
sions into the Atlantic Monthly,
the Saturday Evening Post and a
book. Miss Vain is rarely in
Tokyo. She lives among the
people, in their inns and in their
homes. She seems to feel that, as
yet, the new democracy touches
them but lightly.
Americans Behaving Well.
The major paradox. of course, is
the administration Of democracy
by an occupation. But there are
others.

very minded, the British
government has approved the
placing in active service of three
battleships and as many auxil-
iaries as the budget will stand.
What good these ships will do is
a question. but British tradition
demands that the navy be ready
for anything.
The ground forces are limited
to the money the government is
willing to spend on enlistments
and on production Of the neces-
sary mechanical equipment. This
is not much. If everything goes
we'll, Britain may have three new
full divisions within the next two
years.
Britain's fighter aircraft are
considered among the worlds best.
But. of necessity, they are not
numerous. BY stepping up pro-
duction of military planes, and
particularly jets in the develop
ment of which the British excel,
Britain may have about 1000 new
planes Of this type by the end of
1850.
Promise Another Division.
AS was the case in World War
II. the bulk of the British fighting
forces is earmarked for the de-
tense OF Britain itself. Intermi-
nable arguments still rage at
Fontainebleau - military head
quarters of the Western European
Union-between the British and
their European colleagues over the
size Of the force Britain could
send to the continent in the event
of Soviet aggression.
For the present all that the
continentals have been able to
obtain from the British is a
promise that their forces on the
Rhine might be increased by an
other division and fighter plane
forces in Europe might be ex-
panded by 10 per cent. The rest
Of Britain's forces, it is insisted,
must remain in the British Isles
to defend them against any pos
sible threat of invasion.
The home guards, who had been
expected to defeat Hitler's landing
forces in 1910 and 1941, have been
alerted for an emergency call. And
the air GEOGRAPHICALLY inter-
ceptors-has the task of defend
ing the islands from Soviet air
attack, even at the price OF leav-
ing the ground forces in Europe
without the protection of an air
umbrella.
The British government is So
concerned over the defense of its
own islands that 1t has been COM
PEELED to renege on its promises
to provide the French with 20 new
Jet planes by the end Of this year.
The French general staff was in
formed early In September that
because Of the particular needs of
the Royal Air Force only five such
planes would be sent to France in
1949.
Capacity Exceeds Output.
OF course, the productive capa-
city OF British aircraft factories is
far greater than the present re-
stricted output. The need for a
much larger commercial air fleet,
together with the hope that the
new British commercial jet planes
will find an export market in the
United States and other hard cur
