the free world and those now held by COM
munism.
Regardless Of temporary peace if it
should come. the nations Of the free world
must maintain and build force of power
to excel that which is being forged by the
communstic nations. The United States can
not afford to drop its guard, to the contrary
be maintained
We can not foresee any lcssening Of po-
tential tension in the world, and We Will not
trust communist nations until the Iron
Curtain is lifted.
Instead of being lullcd into expecting
and hoping for peace, it would be better to
press the advantages we now have with a
view to long-ranged, lasting peace. We do
not have information to detail the advant-
ages we possess but trends indicate dis
satisfaction behind the Iron Curtain" A
recent exodus from East Germany to West
Germany; continued unofficial peace feelers
by responsible officials in China and Rus
sia; a growing concern by Red China for
the military potential of Chang kai-shek
at least indicate an unrest and a weakening.
AS the United Nations, especially the United
States, grows in power, the more pressure
can and should he directed toward dcnting
the Iron Curtain" Not III this generation
can the United States safely reduce its
military establishments. They arc the prime
factors for lasting peace

be the control of all voting records in a
central place, which would lend itself to
uniformity. AT present with registrations
kept at each precinct the value Of the
records depends largely upon the ability of
the registrar. Even though lists are required
to be sent into the clerks office periodically
there seems to be no regularity in this pro-
cedure with the result that many names of
people. long moved away or even dead, re-
main on the voting register. In many cases,
the register is kept in long hand and in some
cases it is difficult to read The record is
not arranged in alphabetical order adding
to the difficulties in its use. a central coun-
ty registrar for voters is forward step.

The Soviet Union is striving for pro-
Juction total this year of 4000oooo tons,
which would represent substantial in
crease from 1862 production. The United
States has traditionalIy produced more than
three times as much steel as has been pro-
duccd in Russia. and if the Russian goal is
met. a figure Of 100000, 600 tons would keep
I. S. production three times that Of pro

The results of January and February
indicate that the 100000, 900 ton production

imposed on the l.. s. taxpayer today, to
finance defense programs, the Wilson move
is a most welcome one The effort to reduce
the number of clerical and supply person
mel needed in the services should be coupled
with another to cut down on the number of
high-ranking officers now maintained in the
three services. The Defense department is
spending many times what the next most
expensive Government department receives
today. Therefore the economy possibilities
in this department are greater than those
in any other.
Secretary Wilson not only has an oppor-
tunity but a responsibility, as Secretary of
Defense, TO WELD the economy axe in ruth

County Registrar

DRlNCE Edward Board of Supervisors has
tentatively approved establishment Of
central registrar. 1Under the new system
one registrar will be designated for the en-
tire county in lieu of the present system of
a registrar for each voting precinct. The
Boards action was made possible by an en-
abling bill providing one designated regis
trar for county. The register will be open
throughout the year except so days before
elections, as is the case now. A voter is re-
quired to register only once in lifetime
unless he transfers to another voting pre-
cnct.
The principal value in the change would

Comnlunistic Peace?

\lGNS Of peaceful intentions of the com
- munist nations do not impress US. From
June 1851 to October 1852 the United Ma
tons lost valuable time in Just such a peace
movement. The record of the peace talks at
Panmun JON should be a warning to us that
the Communists are trying again to gain
time by talking peace while bending every
effort to make themselves more powerful
for war.
Russian leaders know nothing but force.
Chinese Red leaders arc controlled from
Moscow. Therefore, talk of peace is diver
Sionary. Malenkov. we believe, may need
time to consolidate his position; peace may
be Of benefit to him in this respect now
The fact remains that the Communists know
no peaceful ways of progress. they are
power conscious, and the potential power Of
the United States stands alone in curbng
Russian aggression
Cessation Of fighting in Korea will not
bring peace. AS long as there are ambitious
communist leaders who hold their people
ignorant of the balance of the world, behind
no peace.
Now may be the time TO press forward.
Communism fears nothing so much as truth.
and there are reasons to believe that truth
is penetrating the Iron Curtain" to some
extent Psychological warfare can make i'm

when there is intercourse between those of

lieve unswervingy, the resurrection Of
Christ. His Son. on which we base our com

umphs over death and looks forward to a
fuller life hereafter through his belief and
faith in the resurrection. AS we observe
Easter may we realize the Importance of

He fails 10 hang his clothes where clothes should hang
He lets them drop on Grapes them round on chairs,
In closing doors. he does it with bang,
And like 4 horse he gallops up the stairs.
All Of his pockets bulge with mystery,
For his hoyhood treasures are hidden there.
And often holes in his clothes there will be
For patient mothers fingers to repair.
Suppose he would remember not to drag
His mud caked feet across the kitchen floor;
And coming home from school he failed to lag
When yon needing something from store
Just suppose he would keep bis pockets neat,
And hang his clothes with care upon a hook
Cut out his cowboy capers on the street
And keep his nose mid pages Of book
Oh no! Too soon ifcs years Will steal away

son recently instructed the heads of the
three armed services to study their tables of
organization that they might cut personnel
in clerical, supply and other administrative
positions. This move was in compliance with
AN amendment to the Defense Act of 1858,
which asked the Secretary to submit revised
organization tables.
Recent studies showing the number Of
clerical and supply personnel required in
the L. S. armed services for every combat
soldier in the front lines have proved that
the L. s. organization table is heavy with

HANOI, Indochina @--H Com
munist chief Ho Chi Mini decides
to launch an offensive in Indo-
china any time soon, three tempt
ing targets are lined up like wood
en- ducks.
They are: the vast. SPRAYING
Red River Delta. embracing the
cities of Hanoi and Haiphong; Lai
Chau, zoo miles northwest of Hanoi
and capital of the pro-French
mountain tribes: and the little
mountain kingdom of Laos.
Avenues of attack for the Com
munist Vietminh are much wider
open today than a year ago. For
the Reds have conquered more
territory.
The French say most of this is
mountainous, economically amin
portant, and of little strategc
value. Nevertheless, the Red tide
has swept much deeper into Indo-
china.
The French High Command says
the Vietminh can hurl eight Chi
nese-trained and Chinese-equipped
divisions into new drives. Seasonal
monsoon rains have ended and
there's clear weather ahead for
large-scale fighting.
The Red River Delta is probably
the most attractive target. The
wedge-shaped, 4o0-mile defense
perimeter of the French there,
ringed by 1900 reinforced concrete
Notifications, is surrounded by
vietminh forces everywhere ex-
cept for a stretch of 100 miles
bordering the Gulf of Tonkin. This
runs from Plat Diem, in the south
