politics with human suffering
and to appropriate 5000 million
to save the Indian people from
famine, American industrialists
once more approached the State
Department. They pointed out
that while relief for India should
not be subjected to political or
economic considerations, or 10
any quid pro quo, it might be
useful to ask the New Delhi
government to reconsider its
embargo on monozite sands.
American industry pointed out
that since 194e India had been
losing at least $31a million a
year from the export of that ma
terial: that India now has a
stockpile of at least 10000 tons
Of the sands, while the Ameri-
can government now has only
/ per cent Of the stockpile it
needs: and, finally. that Ameri-
can importers were willing to
pay cash on the barrelhead for
every ton of sand purchased
from India.
The top State Department
officials listened sympathetical-
ly to the industrialists' argu-
ments. But they pointed out that
1t would not be ethical and
would be prejudicial to our for
eign policy if our government
made friendly, direct repre-
sentations to New Delhi on such
a Commercial" matter at this
time.
Evidently our policy-makers
were afraid that America would
be accused of colonialisnl If we
urged a friendly government, to
whom we are expected to hand
out a large dole. to let us buy
some of its vast surplus Of
monozite.
Congress now intends to look
into the matter.

Labor union leaders have be-
gun a strike against their own
Government. Unless they can
make the rules, they will not
participate in the emergency
boards created by the Govern
ment.
This is the tragic situation
which confronts the American
people today as a group of labor
union leaders shows defiance
not only against the President
but against the entire effort of
the Government to bring about
some kind of stabilization in the
war against imitation.
When the Wage Sterilization
Board was appointed. three
members each were selected
from management, from the
public and from labor. The first
formula. which provided that
under certain circumstances a
10 per cent increase in wages
would be permitted. evoked the
opposition of the labor members
and they voted against it and
then walked out of the boards
meeting. They felt that 10 per
cent wasn't high enough and
not sufficiently inclusive of
fringe benefits" pensions,
automatic increases in con-
tracts and the like.
Since then the director of de-
Tense mobilization and the di-, j,
rector of economic stabiliZation
have endeavored to improve the
formula and to make it more
acceptable to labor's viewpoint.
But even this hasn't been per-
suasive. The labor members
have been given an opportunity
to come back to the board and
vote on the amended formula.
They have refused to do so.
The strike technique has long
been used to bend employers to
the will of labor unions, but 1t
has never before been used to
attempt to coerce the Govern

Alcide De Gasperi. the italian

and intelligent man, has warned
that the world will find itself
Eat the crossroads of war and
peace" by summer of this year,
and that events will either
take a decided turn for the

Why does the Italian premier
think this?
Obviously because the policies
being pursued by the two great
powers imply it.
1t is reported from Germany
that heavy arms have been
given the East German "Rereit-
schaft,," and from Poland that
extremely severe gasoline ra-
tioning has been introduced.
The Communist propaganda in
Germany has been stepped up.

trates on reunion, national lib

Czechoslovakia and East Ger
many overtures have been
made, beginning as long ago as
November, suggesting a solution
of the German problem on the
basis of unif1cation through free
elections and naturalization.
When Communist delegates to
the Berlin Peace Congress were
interviewed by Western jour-
nalists February 21) they re-
iterated that they sought peace

that the status of Germany is
not a cause of strain. We there

LESSON FOR THE NEW WORLD

YESTERDAY the New World had the opportunity Of
celebrating a double anniversary. October IL has been set
aside as the day when Columbus first sighted land, and low
cred his rowboat towards San Salvatore. This year marks the
500th year of the birth of Columbus, and the 459th anniver
sary of the discovery of America.
VOLUMES HAVE been written about Columbus. Mu-
sems over the world contains relics pertaining to his career,
and his birthplace is full of statues and plaques to his memory.
The history Of the discovery of the New World is known to
every schoolboy that he was born in Genoa in l45l, studied
at a nearby university; that he went to sea-; that Queen Isa-
bella Of Spain pawned her jewels to help finance his trip; that
he set sail westward in search of a route to the East Indies.
Later came other trips, and it was on one of these that he
dropped anchor at Salt River, which remains practically I'm
changed. When he died he was buried in Santo Domingo, in
the city known today as Cuidad Truiillo, where an elaborate
white marble tomb in the Santo Domingo Cathedral marks
the spot.
IN CELEBRATING the discovery Of America, historians
and philosophers refer to Columbus feat as more than a mere
discovery. Great vision and untold determination spanked
with a courage the like of which has rarely since been seen,
this young admiral refused to turn back, even when threat
ened with mutiny. And his courage becomes all the more
when it is recalled that the largest of his ships was but 100
tons. In this day of great ocean monarchs a l0Oton wooden
sailing vessel is but a speck.
H DISCOVERY of America has inspired many liter
airy works, among the most popular being the poem by Cincin-
natus Hines Miller, known as Quaquin Miller. The world
which Columbus discovered, according to the poem received
its greatest lessor. which it has taken to heart, the lesson being,
@On, sail on" AS a part of that new world which was discov-
cred because a Genoese admiral refused to turn back, we
might as well keep in mind the lesson as we observe the
occasion.
