West German upper house. It is in
teresting to note. however. that the
Socialist st-dominated Bundesrat passed
the Schuman plan unanimously, after
the Bundestag Socialists had voted
against the measure. This reflects the
strict discipline among Bundestag So
cialists, under Schumacher. But it
also betrays q ro-Western persua-
sion even among the liberal politi-
clans in West Germany.
Remembering the failure Of the
1859 Berlin blockade to shake
them. the people Of West Germany
are steeling themselves for the new
Communist war of nerves with grim
confidence. Some even take all the
fuss as natural backdrop for SO
portentous a moment in history.
After all, they say, the International
ization Of Europe deserves all the
attention 1t seems destined to get.

Western nations. They have been
under considerable criticism for it.
A small. purely private" business
group from 1ndonesia attended the
recent Moscow economic conference.
One Of the announced aims while in
Soviet-dominated territory was to
check on Polish and Czech trade
agreements which were not fully
carried out. This was another time
when trade with the devil proved dis
appointing. A pact with Norway holds
more hope. Indonesia will send copra.
rubber and peanuts in exchange for
paper, cellulose. cod liver and fishing
equipment.
Production Problems
All is not rosy in Indonesian fu-
ture, with money in the bank and
rich resources awaiting further de-
velopment when markets can be
lined up. The thing one Of its lead
ing economists fears most is q let
down. DR.. Sjarifuddin. president Of
the Javasche Bank, says the greatest
danger lies in slack production. Out
put Of workers Is less than under
Dutch rule. Some excuse this by say
ing it is due to removal Of foreign
exploitation" Others blame worn-out
machinery, which the country might
do well to replace promptly. even
with foreign loans.
1ndoneSia apparently is completely
sincere in her belief she can trade
with any one. West or Reds. and stay
independent Of all. At home, the
Communists are reported to be no
problem. Observers say those in labor
unions are kept in check. Commu-
nists hold only 13 Of the 236 Parlia-
ment seats.
Since the Indonesians so zealously
avoid ties to the West, it Is to be
hoped they win equally avoid Eastern
entanglements.

Monday. July z, but the ma
tional committee will meet several
days earlier to hold the first hearings
on contests. If Taft and Eisenhower
are as close then as they appear to be
now, those hearings could decide the
race.
After these preliminary hearings,
the national committee draws up
the temporary roll of the convention.
Only one Of each OF the rival groups
will be placed on this temporary roll.
II dissatisfied with the ruling Of the
national committee, the other fac
ton may appeal to the Credentials
Committee of the convention, made
up of one delegate from each State
and Territory. The convention opens
Monday with the temporary dele
gates (chosen by the national COM
mittee) in their seats.
Minority Reports
None of the major business is
transacted until the Credentials
Committee reports, usually Tuesday.
With the race as close as it is this
year, there is a strong likelihood of
minority reports from the Credentials
Committee, which would mean a
floor fight over the contested dele.
cations.
This could lead to some parlia-
mentary wrangling over the part the
temporary delegates from contested
States should take in settling the
contests.
In 1928 there was a contest over
the Texas delegation. It involved the
district delegates. but not the dele
gates-at-large. When the Credentials
Committee filed its report the late
Senator Fess Of Ohio. temporary
chairman, ruled that only the tempo

the world that the whole idea was
French. First. Robert Schuman
broached the plan for pooling coal
and steel, and then Rene Pleven pre-
sented the idea Of the international
army. This was the modern-day
French twist to the old axiom, IF
you can't lick 'em. join 'em." Only
the Communists in France oppose the
international army in theory.
That is why chances are good that
the French National Assembly will
eventually pass favorably on the
three documents just signed. But
France, more than any other country.
Is making a big issue Of keeping Ger
many down to manageable size.
Two points must be settled to the
French Assembly's satisfaction be-
fore it will indorse its diplomats sig
natures Of last week:
/. The United States and NATO
powers must make it clear that Ger
many will not be allowed to set up
shop by itself once it is strong
enough. President Truman is ex-
pected to 60 far toward meeting this
condition in strong statement soon,
promising that the United States
will step in at the first sign Of such
an inclination.
2. France must be provided with
enough equipment to maintain forces
in Europe equal in size to German
contingents in the international
army.
Faced with q shortage Of equip
ment, the French intend to give
their troops in Europe first priority
on what amounts are available. The
United States, meanwhile, is getting
broader and broader hints that If
communism is to be stopped in Indo-
China, America will have to supply
the French with more Of the arms
to do it.
This increased military equipment
allotment for Indo-C China probably
will become an added price which the
United States will have to pay for
French ratification Of the European
army program. Almost all French
men, and many Pentagon officials.
agree that this price Is not un-
reasonable. With these two condi-
tions met. even the unpredictable
French National Assembly seems to
be good bet to approve the German
integration documents.
Other Porlioments
Twelve other legislatures will have
to pass on last weeks decisions before
they become final. But no heavy
going is expected in any Of them.
The Bevan wing of the Labor Party
is making lots Of noise in Britain.
but it is not believed to have nearly
enough votes to upset the govern
ment.
The Russians. meanwhile. may be
clinching the decision, rather than
prying it apart, with their bellicose
activities in East Germany. Com
munist threats and reprisals may
only serve to convince more people
in Germany and Europe that the
West offers the only hope for the
tuture-war or no war.

markup amounted to SO per cent by
the time the distributor and whole
saler and retailer each got his cut.
Some farmers, seeking the entire
markup, were shipping directly to
large retailers.
New Crop Is Slow : !.
Right now, new potatoes should be
flowing steadily into the markets.
But this has not been the case. Many
farmers feel that with price con-
trolls in effect, they stil will get
the same price for their potatoes If
they hold them until they grow q
little larger. Thus the new crop Is
slow in coming to market.
Some have asked why potatoes are
not imported when they are in short
supply. The answer is that potatoes
are SO perishable and hard to handle
that importing is usually imprac-
tical economically. The only major
import because of the shortage has
been 10.700 tons from Spain.
There has been some trade with
Canada. In the marketing year be-
ginning July /. the United States
shipped IL million bushels to Cam
ada and imported IL million bushels.
Under price supports, some Canadian
producers had been smuggling pota-
toes into this country to take adj
vantage Of the more favorable prices.
Probe for ChiseIing
The potato shortage brought the
usual charges of clAseling which
arise in all shortages. The OPS has
started 1000 major Investigations
into "tie-in" sales and black-market
operations. Some wholesalers have
demanded an out-and-out premium
payment above ceiling from retailers
who want potatoes.
Some retailers have paid the pre-.
miums to keep their customers happy.
But others have baked and have
abandoned potatoes until the supply
catches up with the demand. More
than 10 formal complaints already
have been filed by OPS against
wholesalers and others are expected.
Some producers are selling pota-
VOCo III SdAAoud dO d CCIlI d
more than the United States ceiling
price.
Optimism in Government
The Agriculture Department IS
optimistic about the future. The
early potato crop in 10 Southern
States and California is reported "a
per cent Of normal-the same as
last year-and per cent above the
average for the last 10 years.
Potatoes, the department says, are
either on their way to market or are
being dug in South Carolina. Florida,
Alabama, Louisiana and some other
Southern States.
Weather has delayed planting or
maturity in Arkansas. Oklahoma and
California. Frosts and a shortage Of
irrigation water cut early spring
yields in Texas, but the summer crop
in the Panhandle is described a.
"very good"
These predictions Of q rosy future
have done nothing, however. to put
potatoes on the dinner table In the
past two weeks.
