CHRISTMAS:
A FuIse Guiety

The world-that part which still
celebrates the Birth of Christ
went all-out for Christmas 1850,
but it was a false gaiety. Those
parts of the world where there was
no strife could not forget that men
still died believing in the dignity
of man and the principle of free
dom.
But people tried to make it a
merry Christmas in many lands.
In the United States department

them feared it might be the last
Christmas before World War III.
sent sales records to new heights in
the stores, buying for feasting and
giving which would hide from their
children the frayed nerves of their
elders.
Britain, too, was determined to
put the best face on matters and
enjoy the holiday.
Brussels set the tone for Bel
GUM. The city was gaily festooned
for the holiday, the mood of wor-
ry successfully hidden and the cele-
bration testifying to Belgium's re-
newed economic strength.
West Germany tried to forge,
that she was the object of a tug
of war between Communism and
non-Communism. Christmas sales
hit postwar peak.
In East Germany there was no
observance. There were no display.
in the stores and no decoration.
anywhere except for a few forlorn
wreaths here and there, hung up
by the less timid householders
That was the world on Christmas
day-divided into two parts, one
trying to be happy with a false
gaiety, the other grim and fore
boding.

CHINA:
Refuses to Negotiate

If the world held any hopes that
the Chinese would talk peace In
Korea, they were killed when
China's Foreign Minister Chou En-
lai said they would not negotiate
with the nUited Nations Korean
truce team.
Chou then went on to name his
price for peace in Korea.
/. Removal of the United States
seventh fleet from Formosan
waters.
2. Withdrawal of foreign troops"
from Korea.
8. A seat in the United Nations
for Communist China.
Thus ended any hopes that the
Chinese Communists would dicker
with the three-man truce committee
set up by the General Assembly to
try to bring about a cease-fire in
Korea. Peiping did not even bother
to transmit a copy of its blast to
Lake Success, seemingly content
to let its radio demands remain
the last word.
The Chinese statement contained
the usual propaganda lines.
Meanwhile, a warning to China
by Malcolm Macdonald, Britain's
commissioner-general for southeast
Asia, that they are heading for
disaster caused a stir of comment
throughout the east.
Macdonald said in part: &c. {.
Should the Chinese government stay
hostile to the western nations, op-
pose the Asian powers who strive
for eastern and western co-opera-
ton, and defy the United Nations,
then we could only adapt our attl-
tude accordingly"
Observers were quick to point
out that such a statement would
not have been made unless previ-
ously approved by London. 1t would
seem blunt warning to Peiping
that Britain is getting fed up. For
this reason many observers be-
lieved it was the first indication of
a get-tough policy by the British.

CASUALTIES:
The Price of War

The horrible price Of war was
brought home to the American
people with the announcement that
1864 United States troops were
listed as dead, wounded and miss
ing from the time the Chinese Com
munists attacked up to December
IL.
With previous defense depart
ment figures, total American cas-
ualties for the war exceeded 10000
The report said the Chinese Reds
had suffered approximately 100000
casualties during the same period.

previous total of casualties, whose
next of kin had been notified, num-
bered 36,421. These included 5,518
killed, 25,587 wounded and 5,316
missing. Of the wounded 662 died
later.

HOOVER:
A New Foreign Policy

Herbert Hoover demanded a new
foreign policy for the United States
in a major radio-television speech.
He urged the US. to concentrate
on holding the Atlantic and Pacif-
ic oceans with the island outposts
of Britain, Japan, Formosa and
the Philippines. He then warned
against sending more men and
money to Europe.
The former presidents speech
created a buzz of controversy in
Washington. Democratic officials
called it frank isolationism" and
even some top COP. policy max
ers, including Sen. Robert Taft of
Ohio, did not agree in all respects
with Mr.. Hoover.
This is how Mr.. Hoover saw the
situation:
at is clear continental Europe
has not in three years of our aid
developed a unity of purpose and
that will power necessary for its
own defense.
1T is clear that our British
friends are flirting with appease-
ment of Communist China.
1T is clear that the U.N. is in a
fog of debate and indecision on
whether to appease or not to ap-
pease."
He then went on to outline his
seven principles and action for
American policy:
l. Preserve this western hemi-
sphere Gibraltar"
2. Hold the Atlantic and Parific
oceans, seeking the cooperation of
Great Britain.
3. Arm our air and naval forces
ito the teeth" free Japan and help
her rearrn, and stiffen the defenses
of Formosa and the Philippines.
4. Reduce other expenses, balance
the budget, and roll back initiation
S. Aid other nations that show
spirit and strength" in defending
themselves against the Communists.
6. No appeasement anywhere, mo
more Tehrans and Yaltas."
7. Watchful waiting in Europe
pending its own development of
unity and will' to resist ag-
gresSion-
Much of the criticism against
Mr.. Hoover's proposals centered
around the belief that the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans can be made
a defense line. Some critics pointed
out that failure to continue aid to
our friends and allies would isolate
us and eventually we would find
ourselves without any friends in
the world.
President Truman issued a state
ment shortly after Hoover's speech
which amounted to a firm rejec-
ton of the former presidents de-
mand that troops and money be
withheld from Europe.
The President said the Atlantic
pact nations had shown they "mean
business" about setting up a COM
mon defense and asserted the pro-
lection of western Europe was vital
to United States security.
LET there be no mistake" Tru-
man said. 1.-THE unity of the nations
of western Europe and the North
Atlantic area is vital to their Sc
curity and ours"
He then announced that soldiers
of pact nations - presumably in
GLIDING u. S. troops-will be train
ing together within the next few
weeks"

Limited Controls

TT looks as if the cost of certain
l key food items isn't going to be
controlled very soon, after all.
Price Administrator Mike Di Sale
who came to Washington prepared
to do a job for the housewife got
rude shock when he read the
price-control law thoroughly. For
the farm lobby had neatly inserted
certain exceptions to price control,
and one of them is grain. In brief,
Di Sale has no power whatsoever
to control the price of grain or any
food made from grain.
So Di Sale will have to 60 back
to congress in January and get the
law rewritten.
Aside from this the new price
car has decided that he will not
try to control whole variety Of
prices, but will stick chiefly to
few cost-of-living items plus basic
metals and war production raw ma
terials.
Note-Di Sale arrived in Wash
ington from Toledo, Ohio, to find he
had no telephone, no staff, and no
full legal power to stop price rises.
All he had was heap of angry let
tiers from housewives. At first he
was tempted to buy return ticket
to Toledo, but he has been getting
to work at 6 am, going to bed
after midnight, and is gradually
working order out of chaos.

Russian War Plans
Outguessing the Kremlin is ex-
tremely difficult these days, but
here is how American experts,
trained to do this job, size up the
immediate war future.
No. l Soviet strategy will proba-
bly, be to grab off weak and isolated
nations one-by-one.
No. 2 will be to lure the United
States into committing men and re-
sources in a big war in Asia. In this
case Russia would throw enough
armament into the battle to aid
local Communists to hold down
American strength.
No. 3. While we were tied up in
Asia, Russian armies would drive
across western Europe. The latter
move is not expected this year,
however. The Kremlin wants to en-
trap us in other areas first.
A summary Of Soviet war
strategy can be paraphrased as
follows: Russian policy is to
expand its borders as far as the
Indifference or timidity of its
neighbors allow, and to hold or
draw back when met by deter
mined resistance, and wait for
new chance to spring at its
Victims"
Next probable Soviet victim will
be French Indo-China, already torn
with Communist revolt. Siam,
Burma and Malaga would probably
follow.
Another weak spot which may
fall to Russia without battle is
Iran. Already, Soviet pressure has
caused Iran to ban rebroadcasts of
the Voice of America and the Brit
ish Broadcasting company on local
radio stations. Meanwhile, a secret
Russian station has been calling
Kurd tribes to revolt.

DRINK BUTTERNIILK
FOR BEAUTY .

There are few foods that give
beauty equal to that of simple
buttermilk. Not only is it good
for the face as an outside agent
but it is wonderful as an interior
beautifer. A woman of remark
able skin beauty gives this secret:
II drink two quarts of butternilk
daily for three weeks, every six
months. This treatment not only
is splendid for the intestines but
gives the wonderful result in
clearing the skin to a remarkable
degree" Few people know that
buttermilk varies in tastiness.
Get it fresh and add to it, if you
wish, a portion Of cream which
makes il delicious.

BEAUTY HINTS
GRAY HAIR

GRAY HAlh
Say what you please about
gray hair, it is no asset when it
comes to making your way in
the world. 1t is too often asso-
ciated with old age, decrepitude,
and feebleness, While young
face may appear piquant with
white hair, an old face loses
usually by this crowning. A man
never looks back twice at the
face surrounded with gray hair.
He follows the colored tresses
and a job is not rendered to one
who appears already old and
passe; therefore, for your
beauty's sake, for your welfare's
sake and, for your spirits sake,
take a thought for your hair and
don't allow it to eclipse your very
life by its shadows. It's very
easy, very simple and very in
expensive to touch it up, make
it lovely, make your face young,
make you feel better with a be-
coming youthful tint.

What You Should Know About Social Security

Society has begun to seek
ways in which to improve the
opportunities of older workers
to retain an active place in the
labor force or otherwise partici-
pate in useful activities"
This significant ands tim e ly
statement is from the Social Sc
curity Administrators annual
report just transmitted to the
Congress by Federal Security
Administrator Oscar r. Ewing.
In further comment on the
importance of conserving the
productive capacities Of older
people, the report points out that
endeavors to that end are "a
constructive and encouraging
recognition of the material and
spiritual resources of this seq
ment of our population" The
detrimental, physical and
psychological effects OF sudden
retirement in many cases are
noted.
Because of the present over
all need for greater production,
this phase of the report makes it
clear that old age insurance
benefits under the Social Sc
curity program are not intended
as an annuity payable merely
because an individual reaches
the age of 65. 1t points out that
benefits are intended rather to
assure a regular income when
the beneficiary retires-at the
are of SIS, or at later age. This
protection is planned to eneour-

tinue working regardless Of age.

Two Burned as Fire
Routs Six al Arlington

Two persons were burned this
morning in a fire which routed
six persons from a house at 1042
North Danville street. Arlington.
The blaze was confined to a
f1rst-f1oor bedroom occupied by
Mrs. A. j. Garland, owner of the
house, who was burned about the
face. Neighbors said she was
treated by a private physician.
Floyd Simpson, who also lives
on the first floor with his wife,
was also burned slightly about
the face and head as the couple
assisted Mrs. Garland from her
two-story frame house.
Also in the house at the time
were Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Mayer
and Mr.. Mayors son by a previous
Daniel, IA, who live on
the second floor. A seventh resi-
dent. Chester Rhoden. was at
work.
No estimate of damage could be
obtained and the cause of the fire
was undetermined. Arlington fire
officials are investigating.
