NATION CAN'T AFFORD IT,

Former Secretary of Agricul-
fure and former Vice President
Henry A. Wallace says he is not
the father" of the Brannan
farm plan.
While the Brannan plan 'has
much to commend it," Wallace says
ut is obvious the nation cannot
afford it as long as the cold war is
going full blast"
Wallace gave his views in letter
to Representative Reid F. Murray of
Wisconsin. Murray had written Wal
lace about reports that the former
cabinet official had originally pro-
posed the program.

A group of women readers sent
me this comment: Every time you
write about the thoughtleSs
women who don't take their hats
of In a theater. we mean 10 ask
you to remind the men at games
to take their hats of. We've never
seen it fan. at every ball game we
get behind big man who keeps
his hat on. Why not put some
thing in your column for men?
I'll bet if you do you will get big
hand from the women!"
I am surprised at this question.
Usually the rows of outdoor seats
are very steeply staggered. If a
very tall man were sitting in front
Of a very short woman he would
probably be willing to remove his
hat if he were asked to do so.
Fomily Picture for Cords
Dear Mrs. Post: I have a very
lovely picture of my three children
which ] thought I'd have repro
duced on Christmas cards. My
husband feels that a family card
should also have the parents on
it. He doesn't think Just the chill
dren would be suitable.
Answer: Your husband is right
in thinking it more usual to send
a picture of the whole family. in
Guiding the children and parents,
and even the family pets. But the
children alone will be entirely cor

Invitotions to Distont Friends
Dear Mrs. Post: I understand
you say it is a compliment to send

foregone conclusion that they can
not be present. I'm still puzzled

our Allies all over the world to

carefully, maneuvering the best
we can.
OF course. Mr.. Hoover Is right
that our European Allies must help
themselves, that we can't expect
to defend Europe alone, that we
can't send over enough men and
material to do the whole job

very plainly. Nor can we, as Mr..

Familiar, indeed, is the talk
about retiring behind our oceans.
1t is an echo of a dozen and Is
years ago. The American people,
after full debate and soul-search-
ing, refused that route and have
followed our present route since
through hot and cold war, through
sacrifice, through mountains of
appropriations and piles of taxes,
and in tracks of blood across the
snowy hills of Korea.
Time to Settle Doubts.
1t is ventured here that they
will hold fast to the present route.
But this is a good time to have an
other day of decision. a good time
to settle any doubts. once and for
all.
Korea has been a reverse. for
us and the United Nations. But
we have not been heretofore the
sort of people to quit after our

make terms after our Bull Runs,
nor run up the white flag after our
Pearl Harbors. In the end we

Missouri.

is the spirit of our people, the
spirit of free men, and the spirit
we can inspire in free men every

This Changing World
Hoover's Call for Hemisphere Defense
Seen as Warning to Lagging Allies

as a strong warning to western
Europe of what we may be COM
PEELED to do for our own defense, it
has served an excellent purpose.
Washington for the last IL
months has timidly urged the
Western Europeans to arm the
Germans. Because of the mild
ness of our suggestions we were
turned down cold, particularly by
the French and the Benelux coun-
tries, which insisted on creating
the Atlantic pact as an exclusive
club, to which no outsiders should
be admitted.
Lack of Political Unity.
Only Wednesday-one day after
the Brussels conference ended
the French National Assembly re-
fused to permit the appointment
of an ambassador to Spain, al
though all military men are in
full agreement that Spain's man
power and potential air bases
could be of great use in the event
of Soviet aggression. The French
action was taken as evidence of
a lack of political unity among
the Atlantic allies, since both the
United States and Great Britain
already have designated new am
bassadors to that country.
1t was only after long and
heated discussion that France and
her BeneluX associates agreed to
the creation of a limited German
army. Had this consent been given
last spring we might have had by
now a force to be reckoned with,
Now it may be too late.
On December 18 the East Ger
man radio. which mirrors the
Kremlins views faithfully, con-
tanned this ominous warning:
Form and content (of the Soviet

menD are extraordinarily grave

ignoring similar grave warnings

The members of the Atlantic

But judging by the slow tempo of
rearmament, it is highly question
able whether this manpower can
be mustered and trained in time.
