offices maintained by the United
States in some rs countries.
The next main subject to remem-
Der is that the conduct of the foreign
affairs of a world power like the
United States with a population of
more than $50 million people re-
quires a highly specialized organi-
cation, specially trained about poll
teal, social, cultural and economic
aspects of the world.
These are further broken down
into specialized subjects such as
finance, aviation, human rights,
labor, agriculture, commerce, tar
ifs, reconstruction, standards Of
living and other technical fields so
that the department not only rere-
sents the people of this nation in
other countries, but ir acts as for
eign representative of all other de-
partments of government.
And since World War II and the
organization of the United Nations,
duties of the department have
tripled. For instance, during 1919
representatives OF our state depart
ment took part in 5000 international
meetings and received 100000 re-
ports from its Representatives from
throughout the world, all of which
had to be analysed and evaluated
as basis for policy decisions and
correlated in each case with those
of other interested government
agencies.
Today, headed by Dean Acheson,
the department of state occupies
more than 20 separate buildings in
Washington scattered about h e
city, with the beautiful new build
ing at 800 21st Street N. w. as the
hub Of its activities. The old state
building at 18th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, adjacent to the White
House, now houses only the library,
and the rest of the building has been
taken over by executive offices of
the presidential staff and some
other agencies.
AS he does every department Of
government in the executive
branch, the President heads up the
state department and is responsible
for the foreign policy adopted. The
secretary of state is a member of
his cabinet and is the chief execu-
tive officer Of the department.
Immediately under him is the
Under-Secretary of State James E.
Webb of North Carolina; Ambassa-
dor-at-Large Philip C. Jessup of
New York; Deputy Under Secretary
of State for Administration John E.
Peurifoy Of South Carolina; and
Deputy Under-Secretary Ebert G.
Mathews.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The de-
partment of state of the United
States of America is the official
channel through which the Ameri-
can people conduct their relations
with the other peoples and govern
ments Of the world. It is the oldest
Of the executive departments of
government and went into action in
1889 with Thomas Jefferson as the
first secretary of state.
Because of the fact that this ma
ton was additionally self-sufficient
and isolated and aloof from the rest
Of the world until the advances Of
technology conquered time and dis
lance, the people of this nation prob
ably know less about the state de-
partment than any other branch of
government.
However, since World War I the
state department has been grow
ing, not only in it's dealings with
the rest of the world. but in the inn
pact of its actions and its policy up
on the everyday life of every indi-
vidual American citizen.
What the American people are
concerned with now is just this:
What about the department of state
today? Who are the men and women
who comprise its personnel roster of
some $4,000 employees? Where do
they come from? How are they
chosen for the tasks assigned them?
And above all, what is the foreign
policy of this nation and how is this
policy formed? This series of ar
ticles, of which this is the first, will
attempt to deal effectively with
this subject and answer some of
these questions.
THERE ARE TWO main prem
ises upon which to spotlight the
state department. First, the de-
partment proper has about 5000
employees, most of whom are sta
toned in Washington. These COM
prise the general management and
functional and operational segments
of the department. Then second,
there are about $4,000 persons in
the foreign service who staff the
more than $50 embassies, legations,
diplomatic missions and consular

BOOKS TO READ

The past tire or four years has
produced some remarkable books on
soil erosion and depletions of land
fertility. Among these are Vanish
, ing Lands; Our Plundered Planet;
Road to Survival U. S. Nations Hand
book on Soils and now, Food or
Famine by Ward Shepard (The Mac
MILAN Co. 225pp, $3.50. This last
listed is, in my judgment, the best
written, most thoroughly reasoned
and most inclusive of all the list. That
is saying great deal for all of these
books have merit.
Mr.. Shepard starts with the SEN
tence "Can civilization conquer soil
erosion before soil erosion destroys
civilization" In beautiful style, stud
ded with dozens of RHETORICAL gems
of expression, he tells what erosion
is, how it starts, why it continually
spreads and accelerates and what it
will do to our food supply Of the fu-
ture. Some samples of his ficility of
expression can be found in the follow
ing quotes:

ments, but an equilibrium of dynam-

WHO PAYS The FREIGHT
FOR ANTIGUA fight?

The Pacific Northwest ''Develop.
ment" Association, anti-CVA front
outfit for the special interests, has
been challenged to make public its
1949 financial statement. The invi-
tation was issued by the leaders of six
Oregon and Washington farm and
labor organizations after a meeting
of the League for eva executive
board at Centralia, Washington.
(Note: A similar request may be
expected to be forthcoming from
eva forces in Montana concerning
the Upper Columbia River Develop
ment Ass'ns source of funds, in the
near future. This is the group that
is carrying the front in opposition to
eva in Montana)
The Pacific Development associa-
ton, which is headquartered in Port
land, was accused of scattering ''pro-
digious amounts of anti-CVA propa-
ganda into every corner of the Pa
cific Northwest"
In most cases, this material has
been distorted and misleading and in
cluded outright falsehoods and insults
to the intelligence of the people of
the Northwest" they said.
Such a campaign obviously
takes big money, and we believe
that this organization, which claims
to speak for the people of the
Northwest, should let the people
know just who is financing its eff
forts"
''If you do not accept this chal-
lenge, we will be forced to believe
that you are ashamed to reveal who
is backing you and how much they
are contributing" they said.

We are not so bereft of qualified
citizens but that such man can be
found-even though he may not of
necessity be part of the merrily
brewing political pot. But after he
is found-what then?
Leave him to fate?
No. But the Board of Examiners
must give him some authority-must
give him chance. A man of sound
ability can not long withstand the
humiliation of countermanding from
politically conscious office holders,
and certainly can maintain NO auth
ority when working against the pol
itically favored 'you can't fire me"
attitude.
Because Warm Springs is such
political dynamite, and because it is

the benefit of the patients, not the
politicians for the benefit of the
people, not the petty chiselers.
