is possibility of its paying for
itself, in part, regardless of those
two considerations.
Few men who fought and
fought well in World War I or in
World War II had two years of
actual military training. Much is
being said now of the very brief
training given a large part of the
troops sent to Korea. There is no
question that many of them
should have had more. Barring
the necessity for foreign service,
however. there can be a question
of the need or the benefit of their
having two years of straight mill
tary training in camps, or where
ever, here at home, while wait
ing to be called to fight, if they
ever are called.
Proved Value In War.
If this is so 1t might be worth
while to consider the reverse of
a suggestion frequently made dur
ing the years of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps. The suggestion
then was that the CCC boys be
given military training. This
wasn't done, but in World War
II the boys who had received CCC
training gave exceptionally good
account of themselves. Many of
them had been built up physically
in way they never otherwise
would have been. Boys from city
slums had learned to hold their
own against the forces of raw
nature, as soldiers in the field
have to do.
Several hundred thousand
boys, mostly from underprivileged
homes. had this beneficial expert
ence and they paid for it in real
service to the country. They ad-
vanced the Nations conservation
program very greatly. improved
the national forests and parks and
left enduring memorials to them
selves from one end of the coun-
try to the other.
There is still vast amount of
the same sort OF work to be done.
AS we take up universal military
training the lessons, of various
kinds, learned from CCC should
not be disregarded.

On the Record
Tension Between Israel and Arabs
Heightened by Palestinian Refugees

Each has budgetary and social
problems of its own. When the
exodus started in vast numbers
two years ago, the refugees were
wholly dependent on local hosts
or on the international voluntary
agencies which could most quick
ly mobilize. But both refugees and
hosts thought their condition tenn
porary. have talked with scores
of refugees in Syria and Lebanon,
and their stories are always SINH
lar. They fed. either because their
towns or villages were attacked
before the British withdrew
though the mandate was nearing
its end; or. because they feared
terrorism, which was rife. or be-
cause they were helplessly caught
in the lines of fire. But they ex-
pected, once the war was over, to
return to their homes, as recon-
mended by the U. N. There
fore few made any attempt to sal
wage more than what they stood
in.
Since then the United Nations
Relief and Work Administration
(UNRWA) has moved in to try
to handle what has become an
apparently insoluble problem.
World Cares But Little.
Refugees are not new to me.
I have visited camps in Europe
from the Polish frontiers to Aus
tria. But never have I seen such
conditions as exist for the Pales-
tinians in the Near East. To say
that normal Arab living standards
are low is meaningless, for the
notion that the refugees are living
anywhere near the lowest of
normal Arab standards is totally
incorrect. When a prominent
American lady publicist remarked
in print some months ago that
the Arabs are nomads and don't
mind moving, her words echoed
through the Near East as evidence
of American ignorance and heart
lessness.
Nomads are a minuscule pro-
portion of Palestinian refugees
and these previously had fiocks
and grazing lands. The over
whelming majority are cultivators
who owned some land and worked
the land of others; craftsmen
or clerks; merchants and pro-
fessionals. Some, now absolutely
INDECENT, were wealthy. A not
neglible number are of high
learning and even international
reputation. The president of the
Arab University of Jerusalem is
among them, and numerous grad
yates Of the American University
of Beirut.
But perhaps worse than their
physical suffering is the feeling
that the world, and especially
America, cares nothing and, in
deed, knows little of them. and
that they are helpless pawns of
world politics.
Thus are seed beds of Commun-
ism created, even in the least likely
milieu, which is the Moslem world.
And the Communists have begun
to harvest the fruits.

critical as the rest of their fellow
citizens. They'll take their cold
baked potato and cuss me under
their breath.
Speaking for myself, don't feel
that it is the thought, not the
gift.
Speaking for myself again I'll
say, in the clearest type this type
writer possesses, that I care more
for the gift than the thought.
If that isn't clear enough. let
me put it this way.
Rather Have Check.
I'd rather have a check for
$26.50 from a man who despised
me, who would like. to meet me
in a dark alley with my guard
down, and who, to get him to
part with the check for me, had
to be lassoed by Hopalong and
branded with a hot cup of cocoa,
than get a home-knit tie from
Aunt Deda, who'd all but give her
life for me, and gladly.
Did you ever try to cash a
home-knit tie at a bank? Ever
try to pawn one? Worse still, ever
try to wear one.

homemade things are better than

through parts of no less than 10
Chinese Red divisions. While our
losses were heavy, those of the
enemy were incomparably greater.
Trend Toward Compromise"
Following the Truman Attlee
conferences a definite trend to-
ward a compromise solution" of
the Korean affair has been noted
in high administration circles. The
Chinese, whose moves are entirely
controlled by Moscow, are willing
to compromise, but on their own
terms.
The Chinese terms, as far as can
be aScertained through the cloak
of secrecy which surrounds the
conversations at the United Ma
tons headquarters in New York,
are in fact a demand for surren-
der. They do not go so far as to
ask the capitulation of United
Nations forces. but they do insist
on a complete political surrender,
which would seriously undermine
Americas position in the world.
We may be faced with the ne
cessity of Withdrawing our forces
from Korea, although the view of
some qualified military men is that
we can hold at least one and
probably two beachheads. A mill
tary withdrawal from South
Korea, imposed by military ne
cessity, will not be seriously
damaging.

great profits, he said, made the
request reasonable; if the automo-
bile companies were not willing
to cooperate then mandatory
controls were certainly in the
picture.
The Congressional leaders Of
both parties who will go to the
White House tomorrow can ex-
pect to hear reviewed the history
of the Presidents efforts to stick
with voluntary controls. 1t is true
that the President has steadily
Jagged behind Senators of both
parties on this issue and has been
deaf even to the cautious pessi-
mism of some of his advisers.
To Face Mr.. Republican.
For the first time the President
will face Mister Republican at a
bipartisan conference. Since it
will be about economic problems,
Senator Taft is logically included;
he is the ranking Republican on
the Joint Committee on the Eco
nomic Report and on the Labor
and Public Welfare Committee
and second ranking on Finance.
Actually the White House well
coined the excuse to include Sena-
tor Taft, having been tipped of
that he was taking dim view
of his exclusion from the various

This Changing World
Marines Epic Retreat Should Be Lesson
To Chicken-Hearted Politicians

There is not a single nation in
the world which. even at the
height of its military power, has
not lost a battle. The situation can
be corrected by hard work and
strong concentration to offset our
Korean military setback by action
both in the Far East and other
theaterS.
Could Be Disastrous.
But a withdrawal dictated by
diplomatic expediency can be dis
astrous. In this particular instance
it will certainly mean surrendering
the whole of Asia to our enemy
by a confession that we cannot
cope with the Asiatics who have
temporarily overwhelmed us. 1t
may also mean a surrender in
other parts of the world to the
Russian conspirators. 1t will
mean, necessarily, that we shall
withdraw into isolationism, wheth-
er we wish it or not.
Congress. which has so literally
provided the billions for Europe.
unquestionably will wish to re-ex-
anime this country's position in
the event Europe continues it's
slow rearmament pace. High
sounding words and fine blue
prints no longer will suffice to
convince Congress that it should
continue the present rate of spend
ing abroad.
The advocates of continuation
of the battle in Asia have lost con-
f1dence in the effectiveness of the
United Nations. On December 5 a
resolution was drafted for the u.
N, declaring the Chinese Commu-
mist armies numbering hundreds
of thousands had started an un-
declared war against the United
Nations forces, which were on a
mission to put an end to the North
Korean aggression. 1t was expected
that the resolution would have top
priority and would be debated at
the earliest possible moment.
That resolution was still on file
yesterday. Under these conditions,
and in view of the lukewarm in
terest of our British friends in the
fate of Asia, there is a definite
feeling in some quarters in Wash
ington that rather than surrender
politically to the enemies of free
dom we should continue to make
every effort to remain in the Far
East.

bipartisan gestures on foreign
policy. Senator Taft was only
being realistic when he appeared
to think his counsel should be
sought; anything he can be in
duced to consider possible has an
excellent chance of graduating in
to fact.
But he is not member of For
|eign Relations which reviews for
'eign policy nor of Appropriations
which allots the funds for it. The
title of minority leader belongs to
Senator Wherry and the position
from which Senator Taft exerts
his unique influence is chairman
of Republican policy which is a
party, not a Senate position.
Hence the past omissions of his
admittedly potent presence.
Only Part Of Problem.
In the almost continuous con-
ferences now taking place at the
White House. it Is realized that
while controls are headlines and
the outward, visible sign to the
man in the street of great ma
tional effort, they are only part
of the problem.
Chairman Keyserling Of the
Council of Economic Advisers puts
it that controls are the answer to
the menace of imitation: they are
not the answer to the menace of
aggression. They must be accom-
panied by a vigorous, robust de-
fense program with very high
goals and a consistent overall
plan for the distribution of scarce
materials. Put another way, OPA
can't win a war without war
production board and an efficient
military machine.
Consideration of all these ele-
ments has the effect of raising
the White House sights far be-
yond the Presidents requests Of
last summer. The departments
among which the original tasks
were parcelled out already are
complaining of too little time and
too few personnel. How much re-
organization how soon will take
place in this sector is not yet
clear but some is inevitable.

did.
You see, everybody I know
strings along. at this time of year,
anyway, with the old saying that
it isn't the gift but the thought
that's behind it.
Why Waste Money.
Well, why waste my money on
fairly expensive presents. which
will put a deeper dimple in my
bank account. when a cold baked
potato will do? After all, I can
think sweet and loving thoughts
over a baked potato just as well
as I can over a hand-painted tie,
a soup tureen, circa 1913, or
pint of baguette diamonds.
Truth is, can think MORE and
BETTER thoughts over a baked
potato than can over the things
mentioned above. AS fine as am,
as pure as Is my heart, as un-
selfish as are my aims, parting
with expensive ties, museum piece
tureens, and diamonds, would fret
me. Somewhere deep inside of
me (and I am plenty deep at the
moment. now weighing close to
180 on my own hand-rigged bath
room scales) I would hurt at let

high school be taken into the mill
tary service for a full course of
training. President James B. Con-
ant of Harvard proposes that this
be for a period of two years-or,
as he states it, for only two years
unless our country should be in
volved in global war.
These recommendations come at
a time when Selective Service is
still struggling with the trouble
some problem of student defer
ment. They would seem, coming
from the source they do, to set
that problem aside. If not perma-
nently, at least for a long time,
as long as it remains necessary for
the Nation to be prepared to de-
fend its place in the world. And

No Question of Benefits.
ANY program of this kind con-
templates the possibility of COM
bat service for those receiving the
training. 1t also contemplates the
possibility that many of those
trained will never be called on to
fight. In fact, one of the argu-
ments for having the country thus
prepared to fight is that our very
preparedness will act as a deter
rent on any nation disposed to-
ward aggression.
