The CUP That Cheers

Prime Minister Churchill had some good news
for the people of Britain the other day. He told
them that conditions had improved to the point
where it would be possible to stop rationing tea.
Other things still are in short supply, but
"the cup that cheers but does not inebriate" is
unrationed again after twelve long years of
restriction
In the United States tea might not be missed
as much as coffee, yet there are thousands, even
millions, of Americans who care enough about
tea to share Colley Cibbers opinion of 1t, dated
1708: Thou soft SOBER sage and venerable
liquid -. :. Smile-soothing, heart-opening wink
tippling cordial, to whose glorious insipidity
owe the happiest moments of my lfe!"
The British Of 1852, however, 60 far beyond
Cibber. man or a woman who does not appre-
ciate tea in England might almost as well cease
to be British. Tea is Englisher than roast beef
or pork pie. Armies of folk who never have tasted
either of those historic luxuries count tea a
necessity of life. The depth of their patriotism
may be estimated from the fact that it was tea
and not simply beer that they sacrificed in
World War II. Indeed, tea properly could be
considered a measure of democracy. Time was
when only such "swagger Swanks" as the Earls
of Arlington and Ossory and Pepys the diarist
were privileged to taste the precious beverage.
Queen Catherine of Braganza allegedly was re-
sponsible for the fashion Of tea drinking in
high society. Anyway, tea was taxed at eight
pence the gallon in 1860, the idea being that the
rich deserved to be "socked" in that manner
But century later tea was an imperative factor
in decent living evea among the commoners.

Truman vs.. Truman

President Truman is not going to win many
friends or many votes with his ridiculous at
tempt to blame General Eisenhower for the
Berlin blockade
He says that General Eisenhower chad in
structions that unrestricted access to Berlin was
to be condition of the withdrawal of our
troops" And the general is culpable under the
Truman thesis, because he did not insist on "a
precise agreement in writing"
The facts are that General Eisenhower had
nothing directly to do with the matter. He
turned the negotiations over to his deputy,
General Lucius D. Clay. General Clay says that
he accepted oral assurance from the Russians
that we would have adequate access to Berlin
because he thought that preferable to a specific
written agreement He does not think this was
q mistake but if it was then it was his mistake
not General Eisenhower's. Furthermore, says
General Clay, he heard no complaint from the
President at the time nor did he ever hear any
until MIR. Truman's speech of last week.
On the basis Of these facts it can be argued
that General Eisenhower had nominal respon-
sibiity for the Berlin agreement. But certainly
he had no greater responsibility than his COM
n1ander-in-chief, Mr.. Truman, and the latter is
being considerably less than fortnight in his
suggestion to the contrary.
Mr.. Truman shows to worst advantage how
ever, In his suggestion that we would have been
better of with written agreement, that this
somehow would have made it harder for the
Russians to start their blockade. Why would it
have been harder? We have had any number Of
written agreements with the Russians Yalta in
eluded. Yet they have never hesitated to violate
a written agreement when it suited their pur-
poses to do so. Why does Mr.. Truman appear to
think we would have been any better of with a
written agreement covering access to Berlin? Or
can it be that he doesn't really think so, that in
saying this he was merely indulging in a cheap
political attack on General Eisenhower?
There is evidence that the latter is the case;
evidence, for what it is worth, from Mr.. Truman
himself. Speaking at the Library of Congress on
September II, 1851, he said: "A Bolshevik agree
ment is not worth the paper it is written on.
It's only a scrap of paper

Third Show on the Rood

For several weeks Eisenhower & Co.,
like an old time medicine show, have
been peddling their wares in cities, towns
and villages. The wares consist mostly
of hate, smears. half-truths, distortions,
scares. fear, false promises, and double
talk. And while doing so they have been
aided, abetted and applauded by an
overwhelming majority Of the press

Guidance for the Voter

Worth reprinting, believe, are these
excerpts from an article by DR.. Norman
Vincent Peale:
e.. that each American citizen say
"a daily prayer something like this one:
Almighty God, I humbly ask guidance
that I, as responsible citizen of these
United States. may see and do my part
in helping choose the right man as our
President. Help me to select the man
who will follow Thy will in this crisis
in our history. Amen
when our founding fathers assem-
bled to draft the Constitution, it was
proposed by Benjamin Franklin that
each session be opened with prayer.
He said: I have lived long time, and
the longer I live, the more convincing
proof I see Of this truth-that God
governs the affairs Of men. And If q
sparrow cannot fall to the ground with
out His notice, is it probable that an
empire can rise without His aid?'"

Change at the British Embassy

It is matter of regret but not surprise,
that Sir Oliver Franks will soon leave this city
to return to academic life in England With his
quiet brilliance, he has done fine job as Brtain's
Ambassador to the United States since having
been named to the post by the Attlee Labor gov
eminent in 1948. His term of service has covered
some Of the most difficult years in modern his
tory. The fact that Anglo-American relations,
though they have had their ups and downs in
the meanwhile. are as good as they are today
and they are excellent, relatively speaking-is in
no small measure attributable to him. Politically,
socially and otherwise, he has represented his
country exceedingly well. More than that, in
carrying out his important liaison role between
our Government and his, he has made a valuable
contribution, in his own way, to building up the
strength Of the West in the free world.
Sir divers successor, Sir Roger MakinS, Is
exceptionally well equipped to move into the
British Embassy here. When he takes over his
new duties, he will bring with him-besides his
American-born wife and their six chldren-a
rich background of international experience. The
experience includes numerous missions to WASH
ington, an intimate acquaintance with the Anglo
Iranian oil controversy and key policy-making
role in connection with his country's approach
to major atomic issues-a field that has taken
on special Importance now that Britain has
detonated its first A-weapon off Australia and
raised anew the question of reviving co-opera-
ton with us in the field of nuclear ornaments.
Prime Minister Churchill and his Conservative
government have chosen well in naming Sir
Roger to replace Sir Oliver. good Ambassador
thus will be followed by man who should make
another good one. Washington-London relations
are likely to thrive accordingly.

An almost universal appraisal of Gen.
Eisenhower's success as leader is that

that he is now trying to get along" with

PIONEER ALASKAN PASSES IN SEATTLE AFTER 2 YEARS ILLNESS

Dr. Robert Simpson, pioneer Al. askan, passed away in Seattle on June s, after an illness of two years.
 Dr. Simpson came to Alaska in 1910. He went to Iditarod which at that time was experiencing a gold rush. It was there he met Mrs. Simpson, who was visiting in the mining town, and they were mar ried in Juneau two years later.
 Before coming to Alaska Dr. Simpson learned the jewelry busi ness and following his marriage in Juneau, established The Nugget Shop, which is still one of the Ter ritory's leading jewelry stores.
 Until his illness, Dr. Simpson practiced optometry in Juneau.
 He is survived by his widow, a son, Dr. Robert Simpson, an inter- nal medicine specialist in Seattle, and a daughter Anabel who is on the staff of Life Magazine in New York city. Several grandchildren and two sisters also survive.
 Masonic funeral services were held yesterday in Seattle followed by cremation.
