ing the past week. Harold Ickes,
former Secretary of Interior, was
the old curmudgeon himself,
having lost none of his colorful
flair for expression when he was
called before Senator Douglas
committee on ethics in govern
ment. Ickles blamed congress for
much of the so-called laxness in
government and for any lack of
confidence in government by the
people. Payroll kickbacks by
some congressman, lobbying by
former congressman, and Sen
atOrS, who even have the run of
the floor in both house and sem
ate, smears and character assas-
sinationS from the floor of both
bodies, undue influence of mem
Der of congress with government
agencies, such as the RFC; influ-
ence of pressure groups on con-
grcss all were pointed to by
Ickes as part of the blame for
lack of ethics in government,

said, Il never heard of a govern

Unemployment Hits
New Post " ar Low

The number of Ohioans seek
ing unemployment benefits
reached a new postwar low
during the month of May, it was
reported today by Ernest Cornell,
administrator of the Ohio bureau
of unemployment compensation.
The weekly average last month
was 26,974, a 80 decline from
April, Mr.. Cornell said.
Although the decline in the
number of initial claims was
general, 90 of the 81 cities in
which the bureau of unemploy-
ment compensation maintains of
fices showed increases in new un-
employment. These cities includ-
ed Cincinnati, Cleveland, Column
bus and Toledo.
Unemployment benefits paid
during May amounted to $1,905,-
482. The average weekly check
for total unemployment, which
has steadily decreased since jan
uary amounted to $21.94 in May.
The number of employers sub
ject to the Ohio unemployment
compensation law passed the 80,-
600 mark for the first time last
month. At the end of May, active
employer accounts totaled 80,050
as compared to some $4,000 at the
close of the war.
Fund balance available for the
payment of benefits totaled
1888, 148537.

Recent conversations at Istan-

United States agreement are at
Casablanca. Marrakech, Rabat-
Sale, Port Lyautey and Meknes.
American technicians already

bases. Under the agreement
the United States and France

The United States Navy has
had an air station at Port

Since the war, too, the United

to encourage Spain to support

It is nevertheless apparent
that Spanish airflelds would
occupy a commanding position
in Mediterranean strategy.
Also, Spain would be a valu-
able foothold If Communist
troops swept Western armies out
of the rest of Europe. The Pyr-
enees Mountains are often de-
scribed as very nearly proof
against ground forces. Spain
produces several important stra-
tegic materials, particularly
mercury.
Another development of pos
sible future Importance in the
Mediterranean is the reported
growth. of sentiment among
Italian defense officials for a

Mediterranean Area Important in u. S. PLANNING

Signing Of a French-Ameri-
can agreement for American
use Of five airbases in French
Morocco points up the impor-
tance attached to the Mediter-
ranean area by United States
strategists.
The agreement is OILY one Of
several recent developments in
volving the nations bordering
on this sea.
The United States and other
members of the United Nations
have once again dispatched am
bassadors to Spain after lapse,
in the case of the United States,
of five years. The U. N. had voted
to withhold ambassadors from

duced collective farming. Private
ownership has been adopted, with
redistribution of land, some farm
ers getting more land, some less.
What seems clear is that the
peasants at large find that Com
munist taxation is much heavier
than under the old order. This
was indicated in the prolonged
discussion of the peasant prob
lem by the Peoples Political Con-
sultative Conference (the Com
munist Parliament) last year.
Apart from taxation, there have
been heavy levies of grain, partly
to keep labor quiet in big towns
like Shanghai by supplying them
with cheap rice; partly to feed
the army. This was undoubtedly
the cause of the Anhui riots men
toned above. And one of the out
RACES cited by Peng Cheng, when
announcing the new penalties for
counterrevolution. was the mur-
der of transport men carrying
supplies for the Army.
Freedoms Restricted
It seems hardly too much to
say that the peasant now finds
that while the land is his. the
fruits of it are for others.
A subsidiary cause Of unrest
is the increasing restriction on
personal freedom. That China is
a police state Is inherent in the
Communists common program"
in effect their constitution. This
is becoming more and more felt
in practice. A year ago a Chinese
citizen still enjoyed some freedom
of movement. Now if he wishes to

alton, q contractual arrange

agreement was recently reached.
The field is not a military in
Stallation as such but If it
were to become one it might be
vital to defense strategy for the
entire area.
A base Is planned In Iraq,
however, as well as on the
British islands of Cyprus and
Malta.
Both Saudi Arabia and Tripoli
bases are used as rendezvous
points for B-29 training flights
from British bases.
There are three United States
bomber bases in England, al
though the greater part of
American air forces in Europe
is based in Germany. Recently
plans were announced for con-
Struction of two new United
States bases northeast of Mar
seille, French Mediterranean
port. These VIII have heavy
duty runways that can handle
the largest bombers as well as
Jet fighters.

he must report to the local off,
cials where, why and for how long
he is going.
One aspect OF this control is
that a Chinese is nervous of talk
ing even to his oldest. most init
mate foreign friends. A good
Communist, he is made to under
stand, cannot possibly be friends
with an "imperialist."
How far the war in Korea acts
on public opinion one cannot tell,
though if the American calcula-
ton of Communist casualties in
Korea is anywhere near true, it
certainly may have a considerable
affect. ...
It would be erroneous to regard
these signs of dissatisfaction as
constituting a serious threat to
the Chinese government. The
Communist Party is very strong.
The essence of its creed is to
make it ruthless. and Indifferent
to all humanitarian considerations
or moral principles. What is to
be noted is that the dissatiSfac-
ton exists Gas proved by the new
regulations) and the question is
whether the Communists will find
any way of dealing with it but
terrorism, which in so vast a coun-
try as China has never failed, in
the long run, to reap its own re-
ward.
The answer may lie with the
Red generals. who. after all. have
put the Communists in power.
Many observers wonder how long
they will take orders from remote
political doctrinaires. the sort of
people for whom the Chinese gen.
erals have an Unborn contempt.

pect of the return of Chang Kai-
shek's government. 1t goes with
out saying that the United States
Government would never support
an attempt in that direction.
From many indications it seems
clear that the basis of unrest Is
the peasants dissatisfaction with
the Communists agrarian policy.
Last June Peking radio reported
that a peasant revolt in Anhui
Zone Of the Yangtze Valley prov
inces) had been stamped out by
the army. The fact that this was
mentioned suggests that the rising
was serious.
Last July group Of politically
minded Chinese Christians, head
ed by the YMCA leaders, after a
conference with Chou En-lai, the
Premier, published a manifesto
confessing the errors into which
they had been led by foreign mis-
SlonarleS, the tools OF imperial
ISM" and containing the curious
pledge to do their utmost to make
the peasant understand the gov
ernment's land reform.
Lastly one may note the meas
ures announced in Peking on
February 10 to increase the pro-
duction of grain. These include
the formation and direction of
cooperative groups of peasants
by local governments: special hon.
ors for "Stakhanovite" farmers
who distinguish themselves in
cultivation, and remission of tax
alton on quantities of grain pro-
duced above last years level.
