Matters were terribly ugly for
far too long a time, and our pres
tige suffered tremendously and
even our recent victories are not
calculated to restore our nation
to the confidence of that part of
the world that looks to us to save
it from the onward sweep of COM
munism.
And while our victories should
give us heart, they should not in
the least give us Complacency;
for if the Korean campaign has
taught US any one thing, it has
taught us that we are not pre-
pared to wage a bloody struggle
with Russia for world supremacy.
Only a miracle saved us from be-
ing "Pearl-Harbored" again. 1t is
not a healthy sign for a little
people like North Korea to stand
up to us and fight us to a stand
still-for even a few weeks.
AS an old prize fighter was
wont to say, never let a weak
opponent in the ring stay there
too long before being put away
for keeps; for the longer he stays
there the more confidence he
gains and the more trouble to
finally dispose of him" It was
even so with the North Korean
communists, they stayed in the
ring with UN forces entirely too
long, if their confidence is not to
be considerably strengthened.
Congressional hecklers led by
reactiOnary Robert Taft were In
great glee over what appeared
to be IA terrible Korean debacle
for our fighting units.
They had just sat back and
were ready with the cry, I'VE told
you sol" But our current victory
has taken the wind out of their
sails and they are left sorely be-
reaved of campaign issues aside
from that political negativism
that has all but destroyed the
once mighty Republican party.
This writer is glad for Tru-
mans sake that there will be no
failure in Korea to spark the
warmed over campaign of the
politically bankrupt Republicans
and dixiecrats. Taft is quite
favorite with certain elements of
the south who admire him not for

his astute craftsmanship, but be-
cause he is one of the souths
chief allies in defeating Trumans
civil rights proposals. Whereas
most of the dixiecrats hail from
the gulf states, Taft, a dixiecrat
at heart, halls from Ohio, long
noted for it's part in the fight for
human rights and betterment.
OF course, the incurabIe Ne

Truman and club him with the
Korean disaster, had there been
one.
Good news from Korea is bad
news for the defunct Republican
party. But more important than
this the political aspect of the
Korean Campaign is the larger
issue of world peace which has
received a tremendous boost by
what is transpiring in Korea. The
outlook for world peace is to this
writer brighter than it has been
for many years.
Now that Russia knows we will
fight and will not be pushed
around, she will be more careful
of her plots and plans. This ma
ton has paid too dear a price for
the liberties and freedom it en-
joys to sacrifice them without a
bitter struggle. Instead of trying
to heckle Truman, the world
should hail him as making one of
the mightiest strokes for peace
ever made by man.
Harry Truman has put the
peace-loving world deep in his
debt. He is greatly to be common
ded for refusing to allow the high
strung southerners to prod him
into hurting the atom bomb in
this war; for to have hurled the
bomb in the name of the UN
would have destroyed every rea-
sonable hope for peace within the
next two or three generations.
Peace prospects are brighter for
the good news from Korea.

GRANTED, underground mining of iron ore is no
way to get rich. Labor costs are far higher than
for Open-pit mining. You have to buy forest of
timber, carloads of explosive and the electric
bill is something to behold. All told, it costs about
three times much to unearth ton of under
ground ore, compared with Openpit ore.
But Minnesota is in no position to ignore ore that's ex-
pensve to produce If to stay in the iron mining
business, have to go after both the deeply buried
ore and the low-grade ores In so going we'll be prac
ticing true the life span Of
our high-grade ore.
The lOw-grade ores cost plenty, too. Having less
iron and more waste per ton, they must be extern
sivey treated. And the leanest of them-tacOnite
rOck-must undergo what amounts to a manufac-
turing process before any SHOEMAKER will use it.
Still, production costs must not go too high-not if
Minnesota wants to keep thousands of her citizens in
business and payros Today, for the first time,
this state faces real competition from other areas
Our costs must be right product is to meet this
competition.
Minnesota producers hope they can soon see
their way clear to large-scale investments in new
mines and plants. Minnesota people can encourage
the producers by insisting that this industry be
treated the same as any other industry whose sue
cess is important to the states economy.
Why we publish these facts
We of the iron industry want to stay in Mime
sota-permanently.
We want to insure the future of Minnesota's iron
wealth by investing the millions of dollars needed
hasten development of lowgrade and taconite ores
We want to help make 1t possible for the people of
Minnesota to enjoy even greater benefits from this
expanded industry-both in dollars and jobs-for
many generations to come.
We publish these facts SO that no matter who YOU
are where you live, what you do for living You
may rest assured that
