might be agreed upon by the
British and French Premiers.
For that is a fundamental diff
ference between Americas sys-
TEN Of government and the
parliamentary system prevail
ing in Britain and France.
Many persons in this country,
including this correspondent,
have urged that the parlia-
mentary system, which works
so well in Canada, be adopted
by the United States so that
the executive and the legiS-
lative would stand or fall to-
gether in elections which could
be called ut any time there was
q governmental disagreement.
This. Of course, would require
a change in the Constitution,
and Mr.. Attlee may be forgiven
for an academic discussion on
the merits Of the American
system, because he Is 50 well
sold on his own system.
But what Mr.. Attlee can't
be forgiven is his proposal that
Red China be admitted to the
u. N. as soon as an armiStice
is signed in Korea. It was this
to which Prime Minister
Churchill had nodded his agree
nent-that touched on for q
brief time a serious cleavage
between the President and
Congress, now happily recon-
ciled. Something Of the same
kind happened when President
Wilson went to Paris to help
establish the League Of Nations.
In the weeks just after the
armistice Of November IL, 1918, .
a round-robin statement signed
by a majority Of the Senate
Republicans and Democrats
warned the President that, II
he signed the treaty at Paris
without certain reservations,
the Senate would not ratify.
And in the end the Senate did
block the ratification Of q
treaty which the President
signed, and the whole course
Of history was changed. The
Senate was wrong in its view
Of world policy, but it was
well within its constitutional
rights In what it did.

There are some on Capitol
Hill who think the so-called
rider" which the Senate COM
mittee adopted by such an
overwhelming vote was un-
necessary anyway, because the
President could direct our rep
resentatiye at the U.N. Secu-
rity Council to exercise a veto
against admitting Red China.
But back Of this is q legal con-
troverSy as to whether the ac-
ceptance or rejection Of Gre
dentials to determine which
government can take the seat
Of q country like China, al
ready a member Of the y. NJ,
Is q "procedural question" or
subject to veto. Former Sec
retary Of State Acheson took
the view 1t was "procedural"
and could be decided by q ma
jority on the Council. Though
an argument can be made that
the Charter calls for q seat for
"the Republic of China" and
that a Communist-eontrolled
government is not q republic,
members Of Congress are play
ing 1t safe by issuing their
warning to both the Presi-
dent and our allies concerning
the American attitude toward
the admission Of Red China.
It Is an academic question
really, because Congress could
act later, If and when 1t be-
came clear that such admis-
sion was imminent.
President Eisenhower's state
ment that he would approve
an amendment to the pending
appropriation bill by Congress,
expressing American opposi-
ton to the admission of Red
China-eliminating all refer
to q reprisal, such as with
holding funds If the U. N. does
admit Red China-is q salts

Of Red China to the q. N. at

Mr.. Truman inquired anx-

We Don't Think Like EuroDeons
ldeoistic Prognotsrn of Americans Does Not Help
With Understanding of Old World Political Disunity

In thinking over American
difficulties with our European
AllieS-and vice versa-I am
inclined to believe that they
spring from fundamentally
different approaches to great
political problems.
The American is far more
OF an ideologiSt than the
non Communist European. The
American mind first asks what
ought to be and then ration
alizeS an almost metaphysical
picture to answer this moral
iStic question, diSregarding in
his idealism existing realities,
among them the heritage of
the past, the differences In
human cultures, the stages of
their development, and their
organic growth.
The ideologiSt is an abstrac-
zionist. He feels that some
general principle or procedure
can be formulated which will
automatically solve all major
problems, and which there
fore should be applied at once.
To illustrate:
There should be self
termination of nationalities.
That is a democratic principle.
The principle, however, begs
the question of what q nation
ality is. whether every national
group is capable of forming q
state, and what larger inter-
estS, economic, social, cultural,
and defense. are involved.
The result of the applica-
ton of this principle-Since
woodrow Wilson formulated it
has been the destruction and
partition Of ancient empires.
All well and good. But unfor-
tunately. empires In certain
areas have Q tendency to give
way, not to small self govern
ing, independent units. but to
other empires. The states Gre
ated BY the destruction Of the
AuStro = Hungarian empire

Through the electoral CAM
paign the Republicans never
quibbled about this matter.
Furnishing aggression does not
mean only measuring our
forces in combat with the

losses as posSible-that hap
pens In any war. But 1t means
not rewarding an aggressor by
showering him with presents
and flattery after q cease-fire.

To allow Communist China

American and allied blood to

something most Americans, re-
gardless Of their political az
filiations. consider prepoSter-
Gus. This point Of view is ap-
parently not shared by trade
hungry Britain and France.
Messrs. Attlee and Churchill
indicated this with all the
prestige Of their respective
positions in the British Par
Lament.
The Senate expected q
strong public restatement of
our position from the White
House. whose voice alone COM
mands the needed attention
abroad on such matters. In
the absence Of such an an
nouncement, Senate members
Of the powerful Appropriations
Committee decided, without
claiming to interfere with the
policy making prerogatives Of
the Chief Executive, to use
their powers as keepers Of the

Army Converts Currency
In Korea at 0ne-Third
By fhe A.soeiated Press


SEOUL, June 3.-Ofiicially It's
still a secret, but United States
Army finance officers are con-
verting Korean currency at one
third Of its official value.
Informed sources said this is
about what the Korean hwan is
worth on the black market.
When the South Korean gov
ernment called in its old hwan
and replaced it with the new
hwan currency, the official ex-
change rate was set at so for one
United State dollar But since
June /, United States Army
finance officers have been con-
verting at the rate Of 180 to one
even though South Korean gov
ernment sources say the official
rate is unchanged.
A United States Army spokes-
man here said a secret order to
shift to the new conversion rate
was received from Tokyo late
last month. He said he was told
the new rate was put in effect
because "it was more realistic"

Congress Has Some Power, Too
Senate Committee Was Within Its Right in Voting to DENY
u. N. Funds, Even if the Course Was Not Wise
Dovid Lowrence:

Judging by letters and COM
ments from different parts Of
the country, including" some
press and radio interpreta-
tions, there are many persons
IN America who do not know
what the Constitution Of the
United States really provides
concerning the conduct Of
foreign affairs. Erroneous con-
ceptS seem to prevail that the
President Is a kind Of dicta-
tor or absolute monarch In
this field and that the Con-
greSS has no right to question
but must serve only as q rub
Der stamp to validate any ac-
ton he may decide to take
with reference to foreign ma
tons.
Such mistaken impressions
have been given wide currency
in connection with the action
last week Of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, which,
by q vote Of 20 to 4, added a
provision to the State Depart
ment'S appropriation bill de-
claring that no funds shall
be furnished for the support
Of the United Nations organi-
Zation il Red China is ad-
mitted to the Security Council.
The Senate committee may
have been unwiSe in this
step or its action may have
been premature or it may even
have been a hasty prejudg-
ment Of what the u. N. may do
about Red China. but it Is no
infringement on the powers
Of the Executive nor is it out
side the prerogatives Of Con-
greSs to refuse to appropriate
money for an international
purpose If 1t so desires.
In his criticism Of the
American Constitution, Glenn
ent Attlee, former Prime Min
lister Of Great Britain, was es-
sentially right-though it was
1ndiScreet for him to say what
he did at the moment-when
he declared that, in any meet
ing with Malenkov, the Ameri-
can President would have no
authority to commit this coun-
try to such undertakings as

At Last! ''FIying Saucer Found In Field
On Don Harris Farm 3 Miles North OF Here

What is believed to have been the
"fying saucer" reported spotted in
the vicinity of Bowling Green last
week, landed Friday morning in q
soybean field on the Don Harris farm
three miles north of Bluffton.
The Saucer, Mr.. Harris learned
carried no airbourne invaders from
Mars, although two blinking lights
at the top of q shining 1OO-pound foil
encased box did give an erie aspect
to his approach thru the beans. He
originally spotted a large 24-foot
white nylon parachute covering his
beans. AS he came nearer he saw
the lights blinking on and off.
A large label on one side of the box
explained in both English and Span
ish that it was the property of the
u. s. Air Force. 1t had been carried
aloft by large plastic balloon to OBJ
tain high altitude weather informa-
tion. The instructions added that it
should be shipped express to Hans
comm A. F. B. in Bedford, Mass.
For his trouble in shipping the in
strument box, the finder is to receive
a government check for $25 and may
keep the nylon chute.
Harris dropped in at the News Of
flee prior to taking the Saucer" to
the railroad depot in Bluffton. He
explained that the lights on the in
strument box continued to blink for
IL hours and then burned steady for
IL more hours before they burned
out.
Officials at the Findlay airport told
Harris that they had been alerted in
this area to the fact that the instru-
ments might drop in the vicinity. One
employee surmised that the balloon
may have been sent aloft as far west
as Lohrey A. F. B. in Denver, Colo
RADIO. .-e
One purpose of the instruments,
which it is believed ascended as high
as % miles, may have been to locate
an air pocket causing trouble for jet
airmen.
The instrument box encased in a
foil covered insulation measured 80
inches long by 1914 inches wide and
so inches deep. 1t was undamaged
except that an antenna-like rod was
broken in landing and a clock-like
instrument of some type mounted on
the exterior had broken off. These
parts were found with the box and
parachute.
Mr.. Harris, who is not one to fancy
little men from Mars trespassing over
his farm, however has no objections
to the government "saucers" at 25
dollars per. "They can land them
every day." he declared.

Local Poultryman
Doubles BrOiler
House Capacity
New Building To Enable
Grower To Raise 11,000
BrOilers At A Time

Chicken production facilities will
be doubled this fall in the broiler
operations of David Smucker, fol-
lowing the completion of new broil-
er building on the r. L. Triplett farm,
five miles northwest of Bluffton on
the Allen-Putnam county line road.
Now nearing construction is the
new building, a concrete block struc-
ture 120 feet long and 40 feet wide,
which will be equipped with the most
modern broiler production equipment.
In size it is the same as Smucker's
first broiler building, erected in the
spring of 1851. With his second
building in operation, Smucker will
have total capacity for 10000 to
1000 broilers at one time, in the
two buildings.
AS in his first broiler building,
Smucker will use only the most mod
ern equipment, including automatic
mechanical feeders, water founts and
ventilating facilities. One improve
ment over equipment previously used
will be in the feeding device, for that
in the new structure will be chainless,
and advantage over the type in first
building erected by Smucker.
All the broilers produced by Smuck-
er are sold in Ohio, with some of the
principal outlets being Deshler, Day
ton and Cleveland.
There is sufficient demand in Ohio
for all broilers produced here, Smuck-
er pointed out. Ohio's total output is
lower than the number of broilers
sold to the states eating establish
ments and residents. AS recently as
two years ago, Ohioans ate five times
as many broilers as We're produced
in the state. Although the ratio has
been lowered since that time by in
creased Ohio broiler production there
still is a big difference, Smucker
declared.
