has perhaps not reclaimed
the partnership in all its old
complete trust. But a long
beginning has been made.
Washington has now put
it plainly that we will not
permit the Middle East to
fan into the wide sink of
communism. Made clear, too,
is that we will not allow
Western Europe to be shut
off from the Middle Eastern
oil she must have. Her al
tentative, in that eventual
ity, would have been to buy
here the oil for which she
has not the money, in dol
lars. to pay.
This sort of thing would
have destroyed the precar-
ious economic balance Of our
allies. And the bill for the
resulting American eco
nomic relief-this altogether
apart from the strategic is
sues in the Middle East
would have been very high.
Suez is no longer a sore
point between London and
Washington. If all has not
been forgotten on both sides,
much has now been forgiven.
And in the long and diff
flcult u. N. negotiations over
the Middle East that may
come, the position of the
United States will be incom-
parably stronger for our
having taken the risk in
Lebanon.
There is high authority for
this prediction: This country
and its friends will now be
able to marshal the two
thirds Assembly vote that
may become necessary to
turn the police job in the
Middle East over to a willing
and an effective UN force.
1t is not only the Marines
who stand at the shores of
Tripoli; a reinvigorated West
stands there, too.

 A careful examination of holi- day lights and equipment, as you take them out of storage boxes, can prevent a blackout of yule lights and avoid fire-dangerous electrical shorts.

 A Check List
 For the latter, electrical experts offer these suggestions:
 Check your homes electrical capacity. Some home systems can easily be overloaded because the average American family today is using more appliances than even a few years ago.
 If your electric capacity is 1im- tied, keep your outdoor lighting simple. 4 lighted doorway, pie ture window or rows of illuminat- ed window boxes may be as eye catching as more ornate and com plicated arrangements.

A Challenge Unanswered

Not so many years ago the sugar
trust, the oil trust and the to-
bacco trust, until they we're de
stroyed by the Congress, were
prominent in the news. Today the
labor trust, with seemingly in
finite power and expanding monop-
olistic practices, occupies the
headlines The difference, how
ever, is that in the latter instance
the Congress has not responded to
the true sentiments and yearn-
Ing Of the American people in
regard to effective measures to
restrain this frequently unsavory,
though constantly unbridled force.
The inertia of the Congress in
this respect defies rational eX-
PLANTATION.
Mariner S. Eccles, former Chair
man of the Federal Reserve Board,
in early 1858. phrased the prob
lem in these words: 'On the
domestic front, a serious peace
time initiation has taken place,
largely because the monopolistic
powers of the labor organizations
have been allowed to go unchal-
lenged by the Government. These
organizations, which have grown
immensely in size and power. have
never been subject to the anti
monopoly laws of Government to
which business has always been
accountable" Some will argue
that the Kcnnedy-Ives bill was the
first step toward the correction of
this evil, while in truth it has now
been exposed as a legislative hoax.
Moreover, the dcmeanor of some
labor bosses becomes more brazen.
