to lash it into pulling instead of
baking.
AT this point, let us pause while
you shed furtive tear for me.
Then let us get on.
Prayer No. |: pray that people
will come to understand what the
saints have told us-that obedience
and patience are greater signs of
holiness than is the raising of the
dead to life; and that Self-will
rooted in pride, is the worst en-
emy of every individual and of all
mankind. II is the seed of quarrel
lings, chickering's, cantankerous-
ness, general all-round no-good-
ness, and war, Phooey on Self-will.
That is my key prayer, the pray
er upon which my other prayers
will depend. Let that, therefore, be
the only numbered prayer; the No.
| prayer. Let the others be letter
ed.
Prayer (a): | pray that each of
us, in 1853, will develop sense
of humor; which is nothing more
or less than the good sense not to
take ourselves too seriously.
Prayer (b): | pray that those peo-
Pile in Germany who have been ex-
communicated for promoting ap-
partitions will give their self-will a
good punch in the nose and come
back to the Church where they be-
long. They think Our Lady appear
ed to some children in the village
of Heroldsbach. The Church au-
thorities say there is no evidence
that she did. All right, then; why
not relax? Ii Our Lady did want
a shrine there, God would get it
for her, wouldn't He? II these peo-
pie are so bent on honoring our
Lady, let them remember that the
highest way of honoring her is to
be loyal to the Church, which IS
her Son Christ still with us, still
directing us. And if they've got to
make pilgrimages, what's wrong
with going to Lourdes or Fatima
or one of the other shrines where
unquestionably the Virgin did ap-
pear? Our Heroldsbach friends are
taking themselves too seriously;
they need to turn up the corners
of their mouths and smile.
Prayer (c): | trust that Father
Feeney and his followers in Boston
will also knock their self-will right
out of the ring, make their peace
with Archbishop Gushing and the
Holy Office, and stop publishing
sneering, childish attacks on their
fellow-members of the Mystical
Body of Christ. They think that 1t
is their vocation to crusade for
the proposition that all ProteStants,
Jews, MohammedanS, Hindus, Ang-
licanS, Holy Rollers and No Ice
BaptistS are damned. Come, come,
Father Feeney, things can't be that
bad! could show you in your own
writings where you said yourself
they weren't.

cans of Irish descent will stop be-
ing mad at poor old England. No
sense in kicking chap when he's

United States purchased the
islands in 1917 was predicted
by Gordon NJ. Skeoch, presi-
dent Of the Virgin Islands
Corporation, as the first week
of full-scale harvesting of the
cane began. It is estimated
that $1,000 tons Of cane will
be processed this year in conn
parison with the previous high
of $4,000 tons last year. This
will result in approximately
1880 tons of sugar of which
10000 will 60 to meet Saint
Croix's quota for the United
States domestic market, and
the balance will have to be
sold in the world market, UNI
less a quota increase can be
obtained.
In order to produce this
years record crop a number
Of changes have been made in
the Bethlehem factory and
three hundred workers from
Antigua have been brought to
the island to implement the
resident labor force. The install
lation of new type furnaces
for the three boilers should
result in greater steam gem
Grafton as well as almost con-
tinuous operation. The cane
conveyor was changed over
from a two part system to one,
and another set Of Chromite
steel cutting knives were in
stalled to replace the shredder
and improve the preparation
of cane for the mill. Two new
$50 XIV replacement Tur-
bines were installed to oper-
ate the generators to give
more efficient operation.
Processing of cane grown by
independent farmers is ex-
pected to start during this
week and a new plan is in eff
feet this year which will make
it possible for them to cut
trucking costs. VICORP has
established standard trucking
rates to various parts of the.
island. If independent farmers
arrange with VICORP to pick

Reds Bo|sterinq Korea Forces
Chang Intelligence Reports, Usually Correct, Say
10000 More Troops Are En- Route to Front
~

Intelligence reports from For
mosa say that besides the TO-
600 fresh Red troops which ap-
parently have already reached
Korea, some 80 900 more are
on the way there.
These Communist units come
from distant areas of China,
including some which were
stationed on the borders of
Indo- China to help the Wet
Mini at the right moment to
give a death blow to the French
defenders of Wet Nam.
The Wet Mimi forces have
hunked in their attempt to
occupy the delta and no i'm
portant offensive by them is to
be expected this year. Hence
the Chinese Communist forces
intended for Indo-C China have
become available for Korea.
Reports of the Chinese Ma
tionalists about the movement
of the Reds on the mainland
are no longer discounted as
propaganda. They have been
continuously accurate. It was
from Taipeh that we had the
first positive information in
September. 1850, that massive
Chinese Communist forces had
gathered on the Yalu River.
The Chinese intelligence
provided us with detailed in
formation not only about the
number of troops but also
their commanders and equip
ment. Similarly, the Ma
tionalist intelligence was able
to give the outside world the
first substantiated information
about the new expanded net
work of railways between
Siberia, Manchuria and West
ern China.
Thus, the reports since last
December that the new WELL
trained and equipped armies
were on the way to Korea were
not discounted by our military
men. The American intel
ligence seems to think. how
Evening star., 1953-01-14

ever, that these forces are in
tended to replace battle-weary
Red contingents at the front.
The Taipeh authorities be-
lieve that the new Red forces
are intended either to reinforce
the available troops in the
event of an American offensive
to end the Korean deadlock or
to prepare a Chinese offensive
before we increase our military
potential to throw the Reds
back across the Yalu River.
The enemy knows that the
main flaw in our armor at
this time Is the inadequate
quantities of ammunition
available for the allied forces
in Korea. We have enough to
repel a Chinese offensive pro-
vided 1t is not sustained for
more than two months. Be-
cause of the possibility Of the
Reds attempting to breach the
allied lines before next sum-
mer and the s1owness of am
munition in reaching the dumps
in Korea and Japan. our high
command has ordered the
strictest economy by the forces
which occupy the defense lines
on the 38th Parallel.
This, however, is likely to
be remedied in the next few
months. But whether the
enemy wants to take advan-
tage of the present situation
and launch an offensive in the
next few weeks is a question
nobody can answer. Gen.
James Van Fleet, the 9th
Army commander, is confident
that even with the limited
amount of ammunition the
allied forces can stop the
enemy from doing more harm
than denting our lineS-and
that at a terrific cost.
Provided the military sup
plies start moving toward
Korea in large quantities, a
Chinese offensive would be
welcomed. 1t might turn out

to him all-important.
Feeling now that he must

on preaching the Foreign Re-
lations Committee with men

seniority limitations. To do it
he gave up Finance. the tax

devoted. His maneuvers have
also had the result of allowing
some Republican liberals to
slip into vital committees other
than Foreign Relations.
The most striking illustra-
tion is Senator Margaret Chase

quired a seniority which forced
her acceptance upon at least
one major committee. She has

Both foreign aid and the

The nature of Senator Taft's
influence on foreign policy lies
IN the general problem of the
budget, from which much of
its support must come.
Republican realists in the
Eisenhower top command, in
cluding the new budget di-
rector. Joseph M. Dodge, have
recaSt earlier optimism about
extensive budget cuts and now
are trying to educate the public
away from the so-glib promises
about economy and tax reduc-
tion during the campaign.
They are pointing out that
nearly half of the Truman

weeks as it was being prepared.

too, must come the regular

is not too much leeway.

tive, has not been asked to
attend cabinet meetings. His
presence has been occasional
and casual rather than a fixed
part of the routine.
But, after all, the way Gen.
Eisenhower Is tackling his Job
shouldn't occasion much sur
prise because he has had tough
jobs to do before and this has
involved group discussions with
commanders and stats. The
man who had to plan the in
vasion of the Normandy coast
and then, in the last two years,
had to deal with foreign mis-
sions in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization is accus-
toned to operating by group
conferences. It is one way to
keep informed all persons who
ought to be. and it is also one
way to insure against the
hazards of second and third
hand relay of Government pro-
grams to key men in the ad-
ministration.
One suspects that President
elect Eisenhower will not like
it if his conferees talk too much
about what goes on in cabinet
discussions. Having been used
to associates who respect con-
siderations of military security.
he probably will expect similar
discretion and prudence now
when the problems are big
enough to affect national se-
curity in broader sense.
Gen. Eisenhower's capacity
to administer will doubtless be
reflected in a requirement that
his subordinates shall, in the
exercise of their responsible
tiles. approach their tasks in

Toft's Strong Committee 'Ce|r
Ohio Senator Has Manned the Foreign Policy Bostions
But Democratic Appointments Lessened the Effect

The headline on Senate
committee assignments most
portentous for the Eisenhower
administration Is that Major
ity Leader Taft has established
a strong Taft cell in the For
eign Relations Committee. It
is in this area that collision
between Mr.. Taft and the in
coming President Is widely ex-

At the same time, the Presi-
dent-elect can take comfort
from the remarkable feat Of
Minority Leader johnson in
snoring UP the Democratic side
of Foreign Relations. Antici-
pating the Taft maneuver, Mr..
johnson persuaded fellow
Southerners to forgc seniority
and give their two priced new
Foreign Relations places to
Hubert Humphrey of Mime

Senator Humphrey is a sharp
debater and astute politician.
