The new Ford is not only low-but long.
Ford gives you more than II feet OF ele-

BABSON DISCUSSES WAR POSSIBILITIES

Canada has already refused to
ship more airplanes or war equip
ment to Egypt. This action may be
followed by the United States and
possibly by Russia ana certain
other countries. If, however, there
is a real war, England and France
will also need airplanes and war
equipment. This offers a very juicy
opportunity for eoGntries which re-
main neutral, and could even get
into our domestic politics. Al
though our government is urging
peace, yet it must be remembered
that the United States as well as
both Great Britain and France have
a strong Jewish population. Many
financiers in all these countries are
Jewish and this may have been a
factor in the recent election.
What About e. s. Business Outlook
1t seems only logical that this
situation will put a damper on
business in the United States for
the immediate futcre. Many ex-
pansion plans that have been made
will be held up; while radical stock
market movements may be expect
ed. Unemployment could become
prevalent in certain industries, al
though the airplanes. oils. and
steels may benefit from this un-
fortunate situation. 1t seems as
if the temptation will be for most
of us to take a do nothing" atti-
tude.
Knowing Europe as / well do
there is one bright side to the pic
ture. This is that il might miracu-
lousIy bring EnrSpe together and
make United Nations a real force
for good. II might bring about an
effective agreement as TO the H
Bomb and accomplish many other
GOOD things which otherwise would
not be settled for years. Therefore
like evarv other cloud it has
silver lining.

Cairo and the Suez Canal. This
made the situation very serious.
President Eisenhower attempted to
get the ..hot potato" taken over by
the United Nations. But, England
and France thought it would be un-
safe to wait for dilly-dally action
on the part of the United Nations.
Therefore, they took immediate acc
ton themselves with which all
readers are well acquainted through
American press.
The situation has been further
muddled by Russia joining the
United States against England and
France. This could lead to the
possibility of a. three-eornered war
or at least of the United States
and Russia remaining neutral,
which | cannot imagine as far as
Russia is concerned. The situation
must be a great temptation for
Russia to step in and take the
plum" which England. France,
Israel, and others will be lighting
over. The only thing holding Rus
sia back would be the fear of per-
manently losing some of her satel-
lites. including East Germany A
real war could probably bring about
uniacation of Germany.
The Present Outlook For War
AS I am writing this column the
strategy of England and France
has been TO take the airfelds OF
Egypt. drop down their parachute
armies, and get in a strong posi-
tion to take over the Suez Canal
But. Russia may either switch e
the side of Egypt or else ignore all
countries and take ever the Suez
Canal. the oil fields. and nipe lines
herself. This would truly be 2
major catastrophe which we viii
treat in a later column as the SIT
nation develops. If Russia honestly
remains neutral or sides with The
United States. the situation need
not be serious.

Halfway around the world in a
steaming courtroom in Jakarta, In
donesia, a judge wrote the final
sentence - life Imprisonment II in
chapter two of a travesty on JUS
tice that, it appears, must drag on
and on to the discredit of new
nation for which the free world
cherished high hopes.
Henricus Schmidt, Sd, former
Dutch Army captain. went on trial
for alleged subversive activities on
September 9, 1854, six months after
his arrest. More than two years
later, on the testimony of excon-
victs who were supplied by the
staee during this time with quar-
ters and expense accounts, Schmidt
was found guilty.
During the trial, Schmidt's coun-
sci had fed the country for his
life and Indonesia refused visas
to British and American lawyers
selected in turn to carry on the
defense. The wife of the threatened
lawyer, unframed at law, bravely
continued the defense in spite of
attacks by Communist-inspired
stone throwing mobs demanding
the death penalty for Schmidt. The
prosecutor asked a IS year sem
tence, but the iudge-who acts as
jury too gave Schmidt life inn
prisonment. There will be an ap-
peal, we are told, but that will be
conducted behind closed doors. Nor
will there be jury in this court.
Chapter one of this smelly saga
involved the similar two year liz
carceration and trial of Captain
Leon Jungschlaeger for whom the
prosecution had demanded the
death penalty. Eight days before
sentence was to have been pro-
nounced. a cerebral hemorrhage
ended the Captains inquisition.
But, unless a housecleaning OF
police methods and court proceed
ures is ordered this chronicle OF
vindictiveness seems destined to
go on and on. For there are plen-
lty more Dutch nationals behind
Tndonesian bars to furnish a lone
succession of Jungschlaeger, and
Schmidt extravanganzas.
Most ncomprehensible of all,

affronts to justice. decency and
humanity occurred in the struegi.

WEIGH-A-DAY - Symbol of the
new Weigh-A-Day-A-M Month rec
ord-keeping plan being offered to
Delaware dairymen for the first
time by county agricultural Exten-
SION Service agents is this calen-
dar and set of milk scales.
Pointing out that many Delaware
dairymen now own cows on which
they are actually losing money.
Delmar j. Young, Extension dairy
man at the University of Delaware
says that the aim OF the Weigh-A-
Day plan is to persuade farmers
to weigh the milk from each COW
in their herd on the 18th of every
month. This weight is then entered
in a record book and sent to-
county records office where a run
ming comparison of each month's
weights are kept for farmers
Need for the Weigh-A-Day pro-
gram in Delaware is stressed by
Extension man Young who says
that only about 1870 of the $4,000
cows on Diamond State dairy
farms now are tested regularly
through present testing programs.
Aim for Weigh-A-Day Is to boost
this to at least 5096.
No COW producing less than 5000
pounds of milk a year is earning
any money for its owner, Young
points out. By keeping simple rec
ords that nevertheless tell dairy
man exactly how much each cow
is producing, Weigh-A-Day is ex-
pected eventually TO get Delaware's
average milk production per cow
above the 6000-pound year mark.
Farmers who keep Weigh-A-Day
records will find it easier to Gull
the poor cows from their herds.
Likewise STABILITY OF the other ami
mails in each herd will be increas-
ed when a farmer has official pro-
duction records he can show to
prospective purchasers OF young
stock, Young said.

The Egyptian Situation
For many years Egypt had been
under the control of the British
Empire through a figurehead ruler.
Two years ago there was a revo-
Hutton instigated by the army. Since
then Nasser has served as dictator.
This was not satisfactory to Eng
land and France. but they took no
faction until the Suez Canal prob
lem arose.
Because the Western Nations reA
fused the funds to build the big
Aswan dam, Nasser -retaliated by
taking possession of the Suez Canal
to get his need funds from tolls
AS 1919 of the steamships using
the canal were British, and as the
stock of the canal company was
held largely by French bankers,
these countries Immediately be-
came vitality interested. Although
Secretary Dulles hoped to bring
about compromise program. he
failed and conditions have become
worse.
Now Israel Comes Into The Picture
During recent weeks Nasser. the
Egyptian dictator. has been stirrins
uD trouble between Israel and Jor-
dan. This irritation finally caused
a conflict between Jordan and Is
raeI. The latter invaded Egypt and
attempted to break through to
