Speed w Water

1T USED TO take head of water
about two days to get to the Dick and
Melvin Hanson farms from the JEFF
ferson river only about two miles
away. The reason had to do with
slough through which the water was
routed and old leaky wooden head
gates and other structures.
With the help of the Jefferson Val
ley soil conservation district, the
Hansons now have new ditch about
a half-mile shorter and routed to
miss the sloughs so that a good head
of water will reach their farms from
the river in about a half day. The
new irrigation structures included six
new concrete headgates and two
metal fumes.
The concrete headgates were
poured in place in the ditch. The
walls are inches thick with plenty
of steel reinforcing and erosion pro-
tecting wings built out from both
inlets and outlets. Each structure
has a complete concrete floor also.

The decision to supply the
Yugoslav forces Immediately
with American jet planes and
the latest type Of tanks and
heavy guns was taken only
after our Government became
certain Tito had decided Yugo-
slavia would become part and
parcel Of the European defense
system in event of a Soviet ag-
gression. The official announce
ment. made Sunday at a lunch
con at Tito's summer residence
in Bled. is far more significant
than 1t appears on the surface.
What has actually happened,
according to diplomatic sources,
Is that the Yugoslav dictator
has finally agreed to revive the
Balkan alliance, which, had it
not been for the selfish interests
Of the great European powers
before the outbreak Of the last
war. might have played an i'm
portant part in preserving the
European peace. The intrigues
from European capitals pre-
vented an effective Balkan all
lance before 1899. Under con-
tinued pressure from Moscow
it is now by way Of becoming a
reality. The nations Of South
east Europe - Yugoslavia,
Greece and Turkey - have
agreed, without being bound by
any formal pact, to join their
forces In a common defense
against the imperialistic drive
Of the Kremlin.
The alliance is not likely to
be formalized by any treaty.
Tito is the head of q Commu-
mist republic and cannot afford
for domestic reasons to enter
into formal treaties with Greece
and Turkey, where communism
Is banned and Communists con-
sidered criminals. But he de-
clared last week to a visiting
Greek delegation that "Our
common interests and complete
agreement how to act in time of
danger is far more important
and stable than the usual for
NAL treaties"

who stayed at home on election
day only because they were sore
at their own candidate. This
claim is illogical. He was beaten
by Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis whose stomachs were full
of food, whose pockets were
bulging with imitation dollars
and who didn't really care
whether a Republican or a
Democrat was in the White
House. The discomfort was not
sufficient to oust the Democratic
administration. and the election
was about the closest in recent
years, with Mr.. Truman a much
weaker candidate than his
party. This was evidenced by
the many States that gave over
whelming majorities to Demo-
cratic nominees for the Senate
and the House as well as Gov
ernors but gave far fewer votes
to Mr.. Truman.
Nobody, of course, can prove
how an election is lost but it
may be said that it was the Re-
publican Party which lost in
1948, and not just its, candi-
date. who in many States was
stronger than his fellow Re-
publican nominees. What de-
feated the Republican Party
was the fact that, ever since
1912, 1t has failed to be progress
sive and liberal. It has not at
tracted new voters during a Pc
riod when the New Deal and
Fair Deal have been carrying
on a powerful propaganda
making the point that they
were aware OF the needs of
human beings in a troubled
economic world whereas the
Republicans were denouncing
without offering any under
standable alternatives.
Gov. Dewey has been trying
to convert the "old guard" to
progreSsiviSm, and they pill
loried him. His victory at Chi
cago in 1852 was the result of
q long uphill fight begun in
1912 by Theodore Roosevelt,
only to have the issue of pro-
gressivism straddled in 1916 by
the Republicans and then
turned aside in 1920 and 1924
under Harding and Coolidge.

AS simply as that leading
Democrats continue to place
upon President Truman the bur-
den of decision regarding the
1852 nominee. Their pressure
for an answer is increasing as
the national convention draws
inexorably nearer.
Middlemen between the vari-
GUS candidates and the Presi-
dent-a select and highly COM
petitive group-all report that
they have not got an answer.
None has given up.
It is UNDERSTANDABLE hard for
the President to make up his
mind. For the sake Of his place
in history, he must have stanch
defender of his record. For the
sake of his party he must have
a winner. Both aims are dear
to Harry Truman, a yellow dog
Democrat in the Southern sense
which says the country just
isn't safe with Republicans.
The interested parties all
want him to speak up and
quickly. A few in his personal
circle think he can afford to
wait for a propitious moment
after the convention begins to
take shape.

ton to help the Belgrade gov
ernment, insisting that Tito had
been ousted from the imperial-
istic Communist bloc of the
Kremlin. His communism had
become of necessity a local ma
tionalist brand which might
permit military cooperation in
self-defense with the free ma
tions. The administration took
a calculated risk and it proved
successful. The Yugoslav armies
made excellent use Of the lin.
tied military supplies we sent
them to replace the worn-out
secondhand stuff they had
been sold by Russia in the guise
of brand-new equipment. The
spirit Of the Yugoslav army. ac-
cording to American military
men who have inspected 1t
closely, is as good as 1t was
under the monarchic regime in
the first and second World
Wars.
The decision to supply this
army. estimated at II first line
combat divisions - about as
large as the entire Western
NATO force-with the latest
American equipment was taken
to assure q solid flank to the
Western defense forces. 1t was
hastened when we received posi-
tive assurances Of a genuine and
complete military cooperation
among the Belgrade, Athens and
Ankara governments.
Thus it appears that the Bal.
kan alliance containing the
three nations which are deter
mined. regardless of costs and
sacrifices, to resist a Muscovite
onslaught has been effectively
created although no formal
treaties have been signed. We
have taken Tito'S word and are
convinced that this man with
unbounded ambitions will live
up to it-mainly because, as q
former Politburo member, he
knows he can never return to
the Kremlin fold and remain
alive

He will meet the assembled

Senator Moody is up for re-

Governor, Mennen Williams,

line than to that of any avowed
candidate: their fortunes are
deeply involved in this years
results and they will not yield
lightly to a candidate who lacks
appeal in their State.
Senator Ke1auver, should he
face defeat. would naturally
turn to his supporter. Douglas.
His votes. more nearly than
those of other candidates, are

also will be under no obligation

sive side. but he was srnothered
by 1925 depression almost
from the start of his term, and,
as a consequence of the eco
nomic discomfort, the New
Deal came into power in 1888.
The "old guard" Republicans
failed to see the Importance of
the progressive issue in 1886,
when they criticized ALI Lam
don for tending in that direc-
ton, and in 1910, when they
fought Wendell Willkie and
blamed him afterwards for not
being conservative enough to
win an electorate that they
imagined could be won to con-
servatism by mere exhortation.
The Republican party is at
last back on the progressive side
where Theodore Roosevelt tried
to lead it. Thomas Dewey Of
New York is now getting brick
bats from the "old guard" for
helping the young and alert
Republican Governors behind
the Eisenhower candidacy to
give the Republican party q
fresh start.
It would be folly for the "old
guard" to perpetuate the feud
by trying to make Dewey the
goat and blaming him for their
own mistakes. For If they'll read
their political history. they'll
discover that the Republican
party under Mckinley favored
reciprocity in trade and inter-
national cooperation and that
in domestic issues it has not al
ways been conservative. It was
the Republican party that Of
fered the Constitutional amend
ment to prohibit child labor and
passed a number Of other con-
structive laws now taken for
granted but which the Repub-
licans sponsored and pushed
through Congress.
The Democratic party has had
