Solution to the Surplus Problem
Greet Stores Of American Foodstuffs Could Be Sent
As Ambassadors of Good Will to Hungry Lands

damage Is bound to be heavy
because the floods were so vast.
There is tragic irony In sta
tistics released just a month
ago which revealed that, for
the first time since the end Of
World War II, food production
in 1858 was greater than the
increase in population In that
12-month period. Now. with
the crop damage from the UNI
precedented wetness of the
summer of 1854, and the
worlds most freakish weather
in the hundred years of record
keeping, American food sur
pluses may once more have to
become the ambassadors Of
good will to hungry countries.
These are the countries which
have been deceived by Red
double talk and propagandized
into rejecting American friend
ship-in-action for phony Com
munist promises.
The recent comment Of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Benson
may indeed come true. "Our

$4,000 Bull

Tent 3 Days
BY the Associated Press

OLD WESTBURY, N. Y, Sept.
ia black Angus bull valued
at $4,000 is getting back On his
feet at the c. v. Whitney Farm
thanks to the aid of an oxygen
tent.
The bull. known as Ankonian
1868, came down with pneumonia
last Saturday and on Monday
was put in an oxygen tent where,
until yesterday, he used up six
SIS tanks Of oxygen daily. Peni-
cillin and aureomycin also were
administered.
Early today a farm spokesman
said the Angus ''has passed the
crisis" but is still under treat
ment in his barn.
The farms general manager,
Ivor Balding, said that, as far
as he knows, it is the first time
an oxygen tent has been provided
for n bull.

This would include Germany,

It would also include two
great NATO powers - the

In the case Of the United

such inspectors might come
uncomfortably close to the

This is admitted here. It is
still argued that the Germans
will rearm and that now, re-

cannot be made to do more
than any of their Western
associates are willing to do.
British spokesman recall that
an inspection system was at

B. M. Baruch. Thus Ameri-
cans have already approved
the principle as logical and

Problem for Eden and Att|ee
British Labor Party Voters Indicate They Entertain
Serious Misevings About Reorming Germany

The upset in British politics
came during a Congress Of the
British Trades Union, the big
gest and stanchest pillar of the
Labor Party. The congress Is
generally accepted as a pre-
view of the party conference
next month.
Unexpectedly q routine res
olution that a rearmed Ger
many should have a share in
Western defense passed by
only a narrow margin with a
card vote of 3.6 million against
the General Council, which
recommended it. Assuming
that the unions vote again at
the Labor Party conference
as they have done, they pos
sibly may. with the Bevanites,
defeat the Attlee leadership.
Such political arithmetic can
be changed by the march of
events. Notably, the congress
showed no signs Of swallowing
some Russian propaganda in
the form Of an enticing invita-
ton to send a trade union
delegation to Moscow, and
voted it down hard. Neverthe-
less, the headlines read that
opponents of German rearma-
ment may have conquered the
Labor Party.
This development in the
field of foreign policy is almost
as bad news for Sir Winston
and Mr.. Eden as for the pres
ent Labor Party executives.

Time for Eisenhower to Think
American People Seen RePudoting His Administration
In Midtem, but He Remains CooIy Indifferent

The facts about political
conditions were told to the
President in Denver the other
day by the 10 members Of the
Midwest and Rocky Mountain
State Chairmen's Association.
Publicly they talked with
optimism. Privately they were
gloomy. They don't look for
gains in Congress. They feel
they'll be lucky to hold their
own and, judging by what
they say about the specific
situations in States that are
supposed to be close, 1t would
appear that the deluge Is
coming.
What the President has been
told is that there is a general
apathy within his party. The

istration. either because of UNI
employment or the drop in

help to have the Watkins COM

cial Senate session convened to
hold an inquest on the alleged
misconduct Of a Senator who
has been fighting communism
and who happens now to be on
trial for doing what never has
been an offense before when
other Senators did or said the
same thing.
To win this fall, all elements
of the party will have to be
urged to go to the polls. For
the Republican vote is notori-
ously apathetic in large num-
bers, anyway. So something
has to be done to enthuse the
party workers - and Gen.
Eisenhower will have to come
up with some thoughts of his
own on this when he is through
with his fishing trip. Other
wise, in November he will find
that, if the party is defeated,
he will be regarded as still
personally popular but as q
political liability by a large
segment of his own party
and this could mean a big
Democratic victory in 1856.

wide strip in the North Tenn
perate's Zones rich agricul-

The appalling way in which
this run Of bad weather has
shortened the worlds food
production is a story just be-
ginning to unfold. From Eng
land to India, from Hungary to
China, fields have been washed
out. England Is having the
worst harvest season in years.
Great areas Of wheat have been
ruined. In Manchester, re-
tailers have started rationing
potatoes-7 pounds to q Gus

In two or three months there
will be q real. even an emer-

foods which have been q major

indeed, he does read many
newspapers-that there has
been q battle on to discredit
the Republican Party. But
the occasions have been few
and far between when he has
said q kind word for the
party itself or taken the
trouble to attack the record Of
the Democrats. Campaigns
are not won by failing to re-
mind the people Of past mis-
takes Of the opposition. They,
are won by both an offense and
a defense-and the President
himself has been weak on the
offense.
The first session Of Con-
gress accomplished little and
the administrations strategy
was to leave everything to the
second session, where a credit
able job. to be sure, was done.
But prejudices by the voters
are formed during the first
year and a half. and it is a
little late now to build q public
impression in six or eight
weeks of a campaign. Most
of the post-election studies
conducted by scientific sur
veys show this to be true.
About 80 per cent of the voters
make up their minds long be-
fore the campaign begins.
Judging by the Maine cleo
tons and the sensational
drop-off in Republican votes.
the Republicans face the dim
prospect that they may lose as
many as 100 seats in the House
and also lose the Senate by
two or three seats. Present
indications are that a land
slide is in the making against
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. Only political miracle
and an aggressive personal
fight by the President himself
might turn the tide. He cannot
delegate the task of winning
this election to Vice President
Nixon or to Speaker Martin
or to Sherman Adams or to
any of his staff. It's Gen.
Eisenhower who must fight for
his party, and that means

about the crisis that has come
to his career.
For, as of today. it looks as

are about to repudiate his ad-
ministration in the middle of
his term. Abroad - under a
parliamentary system - it
would mean an enforced resig-
nation. But in America when
it sometimes happens-as it
did in the middle Of President
Truman's term - 1t merely
means a realignment Of politi-
cal forces which may or may
not bode Ill for the party in
the subsequent presidential
election.
Gen. Eisenhower has had q
curious indifference to politics.
He has been led to believe by
misguided friends that it is a
sordid business from which he,
as a former general and a nom
partisan, ought to stay aloof.
He has been advised by a
coterie of advisers with more
worshipfulness than political
sense that he is immensely
popular and that all that's
needed in the congressional
election are a few television
appearances and a magic smile.
The same group of advisers
have been turning the cold
shoulder toward the regulars
in the party, accusing them Of
not being in tune with the
times or of harboring a falla-
cious obsession about the i'm
portance of party organization.

movement, for instance, was
revived as a confession Of dis
trust as to the readiness Of
the independent voters to &C

traditional concern for party
harmony has been dashed
aside.
