Europe. This Mediterranean
line of command thus goes back
first to an American naval
officer and then to an American
who is Supreme Commander in
Europe.
This clumsy arrangement
would not be tolerated one day
if large-scale war broke out but
it is one way to bolster British
prestige in the Mediterranean.
If the British Labor Party could
only champion the cause of
naval expansion so that Britain
could again police it's own
waters, and the Mediterranean
as we'll, the American people
would be delighted to see their
own budgetary expenses cur
tailed.
So far as leadership in the
world is concerned America
would not be exercising it today
if the supposedly mature" lead
ership of Great Britain under
Sir Edward Gray in 1914, just
before World War I started, and
under Prime Minister Chamber
lain in Munich in 1888. just be-
fore World War II. hadn't fall
tered and developed situation
into which America had been
twice plunged so as to save
Europe.
Mistakes in policy made by
experienced diplomats some
times breed situations which the
so-called immature" nations
find it necessary to salvage with
heavy losses of manpower and
money Those who make the
biggest sacrifices must assume
the responsibility of leadership
and this leadership can succeed
if our junior partners in the al
lance will only forget superb
ority complexes that grow out
of past history and concentrate
on making the present-day alli-
ance strong enough to convince
Russia she cannot count on a

On health the States truly are
on the spot. The report of the
Presidents Commission Is
alarming enough evidence of
health conditions so that the
matter can not be allowed to
slumber much longer. Slowly. as
the medical profession is becom-
ing aware, health costs have be-
come a major political issue. If
the States don't act public sup
port will swell in time to force
the Federal Government to act
with a Federally- sponsored plan
instead of the Federal-State CO.
operative program proposed by
the commission. That has hap
pened before on other similar
issues.
The pattern of Federal-State
cooperation proposed now is an
old and familiar one that began
long ago for building highways
and has been followed in such
social welfare fields as unem-
ployment insurance, old-age
assistance, and the like. There's
nothing new or revolutionary
about it. The initiative, how
ever, always had to come from
the Federal Government.
Well be able to see in this
health issue, as in others, just
how much of sincerity there is
in the States Rights cry, and
how much there is of what also
frequently is recognized as a
motive. That is the inSiStence
of powerful interests of all sorts
that regulatory measures and
welfare legislation be confined
to the States because there
they have found it easier, in
many cases, to get favored
treatment.
That is a motivation today

British insistence on such a set
up that for many months now
a deadlock on the question has
persisted. First, an American
naval officer became commander
of all the Greek, Italian, Turk
iSh and French naval units in
the Mediterranean, and togeth-
er with the United States naval
forces this constituted the Medi-
terranean fleet of the Allies. The
British, however, refused to join
the group command and it was
Winston Churchill, Prime Min
lister, who kept urging a COM
bined fleet under a British Ad-
miral. The Greek, Italian, Turk
ish and French forces preferred
to be commanded by an Ameri-
can admiral because the latest
types of ships and aircraft car
riers are in the United States
Navy. But London stood firmly
against the plan, and British
naval forces have operated for
months now as a separate COM
mand.
The situation has just been
completely reversed to please
the British and give them all
the prestige possible that goes
with the command of an Allied
Mediterranean fleet. The lat
ter comprises Greek, Italian,
French, Turkish and British
naval forces, and Admiral
Mountbatten of the British
Navy is the commander in
chief. But the United States
fleet in that area operates as
an independent unit because it
is larger than all the other naval
forces put together.
1t is true that Admiral
Mountbatten reports directly to
Admiral Carney, United States
Navy; the commander-in-chief
of Allied forces in southern
Europe, just as does Admiral
CaSsady of the United States
fleet in the Mediterranean. But
Admiral Carney, in turn. reports
to Gen. Ridgway. Supreme Com
mander of Allied powers in

British Cling to Waning Prestige
Empire Should Forget Superiority Completes Rooted in Pa
And Join Western Forces as Junior Partner to America
David Lawrence:

The member of the British
Labor Party who got up in the
House of Commons the other
day and said that the United
States was a nice nation but so
very young and immature" to
be exercising world leadership
did not happen to know it per-
haps, but that's the Communist
line" nowadays which is de-
signed to intensity friction be-
tween Britain and America.
The Soviet Union has come to
rely on some members of the
British Labor Party, particularly
the extreme left wing, to belittle
American policies and to main
tain sharp division of opinion,
especially on Far Eastern mat
tiers. Moscow knows there isn't
much likelihood of a stern
American policy in Korea as
long as the British, by their
lukewarm attitude, keep the
U. N. dragging at the heels.
The unhappy truth is that
the United States has been
forced into a position of
world leadership, reluctantly and
most unwillingly, as a direct
consequence of the decline of
the British position in Europe.
Many Americans would be de-
lighted to see their troops and
their navy permanently with
drawn from the historic British
spheres of influence" if the
British only had an army and a
fleet big enough to do the job.
The most striking example of
the effects of Britain'S loss of
prestige in the world occurred
recently in the Mediterranean.
Not being able to maintain a
navy of adequate size as in pre-
vious years, the British have
nevertheless insisted on being
awarded the privilege of choos-
ing a high British naval officer
to be commander of the Allied
rlavies in the Mediterranean.
This was impracticable. of

point but so strong was the

By Anne Haywood

I received a letter yesterday
from a young woman of % who
asked: What is the matter with
our young men these days?"
It seems that she had been en-
gagged to be married to a young
man whom she assured me she
loved deeply. During the 10
months of their engagement she
was rapturously happy-happy
with the thought of the showers
her friends would give her. the
lovely home of her own, with the
very best blankets. linens and
furniture. Life was going to be a
beautiful bed of roses with her
own true love-and no more alarm
clock and subway rush. Like all
young people in love, she and her
fiance spent hours planning the
happiness that lay ahead. He had
an excellent position. training for
an executive status in the field
that he liked best of all.
Then came what the young
woman referred to as "the tragic
blow" Her young man found that
if he wanted to get ahead it would
be necessary for him to continue
his studies at night for his mas
ter's degree in business admin
istration. So they talked over the
possibility of taking a small apart
ment for the first two years. and
her keeping her job. But" the
letter concluded. "how could I
respect or admire a man who per-
mits his wife to help support
him?"
My reply was a long one, and,
I am afraid, rather harsh. What
is commonly referred to as mod
ern woman's dilemma is, it seems
to me, also modern mans di-
lemma, and I have very little use
for the women who feel as our
heroine does. A marriage where
one party is entirely on the re-
ceiving end isn't a valid marriage,
and the girl who thinks only in
terms of never having to use the
alarm clock is. I think, somewhat
of a racketeer.
But a hundred years ago men
were not so pampered," our hero
inc might reply.

Please ask your readers If any
one can tell me where one might
locate those little thin metal
water containers that hook over
the regular apartment type

like a tank-only deep (from
top to bottom) but not too wide
to slip in the small space be-
tween radiator and wall.
We live in one of these de-
velopments where there is too
much heat. and some of our
radiators don't cut off so the
apartment stays too hot and
dry all winter. I'm sure the

COMMENT OFFERED.
mrs. M. A. L., Clinton)

tMFS. w. a. L., CEnLOW
In answer to a query by
G. A. T., Hyattsville, in regard
to the apparent contradictions
in the Bible.
There are many errors in
translation from the original
languages of the Bible manu-
scripts. Also. translations by
men of various faiths have been
found to lean toward upholding
their creeds.
A minor error in punctuation
causes the confusion in the texts
which you mention. This has
been corrected in most of the
later translations. The Empha-
sized Bible by ]. B. Rotterdam
renders Luke 23:42, 43 as fol-
lows: "Verily I say unto you
this day: With me shalt thou
be in paradise" The Modern
New Testament by G. M. Lamsa
reads: Truly I say to you to-
day. you will be with me in
Paradise" The New World
Translation of the Christian
Greek Scriptures says: Truly
I tell you today, you will be with
me in Paradise" Thus, we see
that today refers to the time
that the statement was made,
and not the time of entry into
Paradise. This is reasonable,
because Jesus Himself testified
that he would be in the grave
until His resurrection on the
third day.
When we understand this
Scripture, we find no contradic-
tion in comparing it with John
20:17: Touch me not, for am
not assembled to my Father" The
first three chapters of Acts tell
us that Jesus appeared to His
apostles for 40 days before His
ascension to Heaven. Ten days
after His ascension, the Holy
Spirit was poured out on the
disciples at Pentecost.
Jesus had said it was impos-
sible to enter heaven unless one
had been begotten by this spirit.
The thief died before it came,
so he was not in line for heaven.
What, then, did Jesus mean
when he promised, you will be
with me in Paradise?"
The unabridged dictionary
gives us the primary meaning
of "The Garden of Eden" Man
lost his home in the original
Garden of Eden, but God has
purposed to restore Paradise
conditions to the earth, where
men may live forever in peace
and righteousness. We pray for
it when we say: "Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven"
Peter said: Nevertheless, we.
according to his promise. look
for new heavens and a new
earth wherein dwelleth right
BUSINESS" Second Peters 3:13
Jesus said: THE meek shall in
herit the earth"
This will come about under
the reign of Christ Jesus as
King of long promised kingdom
OF heaven. Millions now sleep
ing in their graves will be resur-
rected to life on earth, and
given a chance to live forever
in Paradise. That is the reward
promised the repentent thief.
Sincere and diligent Bible
study would prove to you that
the word of God truly does not
contradict itself. The Bible is
our only safe guide in these
troublesome times. There is
really an amazing lack of knowl-
edge of even the fundamental
teachings of the Bible, which
the churches don't seem to be
teaching.
