WE NEED MERCHANT SHIPS

Things which we may never think about
which, indeed, many of us may never so
much as see-Often have a direct bearing
on our jobs and opportunities and our lives
in general.
The American merchant marine is an
excellent example in point
To much greater extent than is gener-
ally realized, this country depends upon its
foreign trade. To list but few items, we
import all of our natural rubber, chromium
tin and coffee, and 81 per cent of our man.
ganese and 70 per cent of our bauxite. Many
of these are key military items, as well as
necessities in the production of great num-
bers of consumer commodities. And we eX-
port 40 per cent of our rice, 80 per cent Of
our wheat, 80 per cent Of our cotton, 26 per
cent Of our tobacco and "a per cent Of our
lard
All this huge volume must travel on mer-
chant ships. And it would be a very thought
less person who would say that it is safe for
us to depend on the merchant ships of other
countries to do the whole job. A war, to
take the obvious illustration, could drasti-
cally change the foreign ship picture over
night. So could political and other possible
upheaVals in this unpredictable world. Final
ly, as a general principle, any major power
must develop and maintain to the greatest
possible extent its own basic resources.
The American merchant marine is one
Of those resOurceS-vital alike in peace and
war.

SUCCESS SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED
A federal judge recently dismissed JUS
tice Department suit against big chemical
company which was filed six years ago un-
der the antitrust laws. He said that ''the
facts destroy the charges" and that there
was no proof of monopoly. Then he made
the extremely significant point that the COM
pany should not "be punished for it's sue
cess"
There can be no question that for many
years, powerful groups in the government
as well as out Of it have regarded "bigness'
as an evil even when it is obvious that
growth has come about as result of giving
good service to the public-nOt from any
lack of competition. 1t is hard to think OF
philosophy which could do more to weaken
Americas economic strength. There is room
and need here for both the colossal bust.
ness and the tiny one. And there is oppor-
tunity for all.

Queen Elizabeth Sails on Namesake Ship Despite
 British Waterfront Strike

LONDON, R-Tugmen eased the liner Queen Elizabeth out of Southampton Harbor in a loyal gesture to Britain's Queen Mother Thursday-and then began de- batting whether to join the water front strike which has paralyzed Britain's major seaports.
 Queen Mother Elizabeth, for whom the ship was named, sailed on the huge liner for New York and months visit to the United States and Canada.
 It had been feared that the 18- day dock stoppage, now involving more than 43,000 men, might hamper her departure.
 The liner was brought into the harbor stern-first upon arrival from Cherbourg Monday so it would be easier to maneuver into the open sea if the tugmen quit work.
 Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill's government gave no sign of any immediate intention to use troops for unloading essential inn ports as has been done in previous major dock tieups.

Ike Claims Much Progress Towards Blocking Reds

NEW YORK, R-Presldent Els enhower told the nation Wednes- day night his administration has "come far" toward blocking Com munist aggression and winning lasting world peace, but Russia and Red China still are dangerous threats.
 The White House called his ma jor address here "non-political' and the President nowhere termed it reply to sharp criticism fired at Republican regime foreign pol icy by former President Harry S. Truman and Adlai E. Stevenson.
 The President spoke Wednesday night to 1900 guests at Shera- ton-Astor Hotel dinner marking the 300th anniversary of Jewish life in the United States.
 Mentioning some obstacles still in the way of achievement of an enduring peace, the President de- clared:
 "The principal and continuing factor is the consistently aggres- sive design of Moscow and Pei ping, which shows no evidence of genuine change despite their pro- fessed desire to relax tensions and to preserve peace"
 But Eisenhower went on to say much progress has been made toward thwarting the spread of Communism-through the new western Europe defense alliance agreement and through the South east Asia pact recently signed at Manila, for example.
 The President said that in Am erica's quest for peace with the other free nations, three avenues must be trod by this country.
 First, we must tirelessly seek through the United Nations, through every other available means-to establish the conditions for honorable peace.
 Second, we must promote the unity and collect the strength of other free peoples.
 Third, we must maintain enough military strength to deter aggression and promote peace"
 Eisenhower's address was in- terrupted seven times by applause he got standing ovation when he started and another when he concluded.
