WASHINGTON The Budden de-
scent upon Columbias shoulders of
the mantle of
world leadership
has forced the
President to add
all sorts of odd
Jobs to his other
extraconstitu
tional functions
Traveling sales-
man Is one of
them Almost be-
fore he learned
his way around
the White House
he had the Unit-
ed Nations as-
signment nt San
Francisco Hard
ly was he back from the Golden
Gate when he was ordered to Pots
dam He already has become our
flylngest chief executive The
Mexican trip was scarcely over
when he was called to the wearying
vigil at his mothers bedside
Meanwhile he has conducted
White House business without en-
countering too much criticism for
being absent without leave In fact
his popularity with the public has
grown
But at this writing some of his
followers are growing a little res-
tive about what they call his appar-
ent neglect of certain Issues which
ought to be brought emphatically
before the public
What was considered a crisis In
world affairs was met successfully
by overwhelming congressional
support for the post UNRRA relief
and GreekTurkish aid bills Al-
though at times it has balanced
upon a rather thin edge the solidar-
ity of bipartisan foreign policy has
been maintained But there Is an-
other matter which those most
concerned declare has not been
brought home to the public the
rvorld food situation
There are two Important facts
1 Two years have passed
since the end of the war and
the world food situation Is no
better
2 Although congress the peo-
ple has been willing to vote
huge funds for relief tt appears
unn tiling to continue certain
controls on business without
which the machinery for help-
ing the stricken countries to
their feet will break down
The first Job Is to bring home the
seriousness of point one The second
Job which has been dumped Into
the Presidents lap Is to convince
congress of the Importance of point
twoPress
Press and radio have been asked
to help with the first Job They are
trying Heres one small contribu
tion In terms of dollars the de-
struction caused by World War II
was seven times that of World War
I Recovery is therefore at least
seven times as hard Economic dif-
ficulties are multiplied more than
sevenfold because of political diffi
culties It Is impossible to estimate
the destruction In terms of what
has happened to social and political
values
As to point two that becomes a
concrete Issue which ought to be
In debate before these lines arc
printed namely the question of ex-
tending certain wartime controls
over exports and imports
Briefly If export controls go off
foreign nations can bid against each
other for food Wheat for example
That will send the price of wheat
skyrocketing What does that
mean In the first place It means
the country with the most money
gets the most wheat regardless of
Its need Others go hungry It
means the American taxpayer will
have to pay a fancy price for the
wheat the government buys It
means extra American dollars
which could be used to buy other
American products which would
encourage production will be
sucked out of foreign pockets and
world trade will be stultified by Just
that much That is on argument
for extending controls on exports
Fortunately there are also a lot of
selfish Interest reasons for con-
trolling some exports Its this way
The man who extracts oil from soy-
beans although he is quite willing
to have his oil exported probably
can sell It here anyway But he
doesnt want beans from which he
gets the oil sent out of the country
The man who refines the oil doesnt
mind having his refined product ex-
ported but he doesnt want the un-
refined oil his raw material
which he has to buy exported the
man who uses that refined oil to
make margarine doesnt want to
compete with foreigners for it al-
though hes quite willing to have
foreigners buy his margarine
These mixed motives dont add up
to a very good argument for con-
gress because the only controls de-
sired are for the other fellow It
doesnt generate too much pressure
because there are enough agins
to balance the furs
But when It comes to imports Its
a different story Take fertilizer
Britain and the United States
straining to Increase production
now ore using twice as much fer-
tilizer as In prewar years That is
all right But the destitute Euro-
pean countries with their very tired
soil need every ounce they can get
and If there were no Import con-
trols they would get less the rich
buyers would get more The pres-
sure on congress Is all against limit-
ing Importation of fertilizer
Some Imports inio America are
of course highly dsfrable to get
those American dollars alfroad In
order that foreign nations may buy
raw materials and other things But
If we are to keep the rest of the
markets alive until they can feed
themselves what we give out and
what we take In will have to bo
made to fit the needs of the situation
not the desires of the American busi-
nessman who doesnt realize that If
he Is given too free a hand hell be
cutting off his own nose with it
Humanity Is at the Crossroads
Two reports In the news recently
caused some Interesting comments
In Washington on the International
situation
J Charles Reese extension apiarist
of University of Ohio recently re-
ported that because of the late sea-
son and resultant scarcity of pollen
on which bees feed many of the
drones who do not work and are
preserved for social purposes only
have been pushed out of the hives
by the workers Picket lines have
been formed and the drones are not
allowed to re enter They die In the
damp and cold
Theirs the bees Is not a very
pleasant society says apiarist
Reese Hive activity Is communis
tie and utterly ruthless
A statement by Andre VIsson
French writer who syndicates a
column In American newspapers
was the second Inspiration for un-
official comment VIsson said
The wprld has Indeed entered
Into a contest between American-
Ism and Communlsni
This pearl of wisdom laid beside
the dispatch from Columbus moved
a certain engineereconomist philos-
opher to the observations which
follow
For the first time this pundit
pointed out the human race is
really At the crossroads Life has
followed two paths one taken by
the animals another by those who
have In them something that dis-
tinguishes them from the beast One
path has been clearly visible to ma-
terialistic philosophers Nietzsche
Hegel Marx and the monster who
was created out of their theories
Hitler The other la the one lllu
i mined by the thought and action of
those who from cot or castle from
workbench or cloistered hall Uved
In the belief that the activities of
the state or the Individual should
be measured against something
ether than material forces
It has been shown that animals
when they master technology tend
to form a perfectly regimented to-
talitarian state Take tho ants and
the bees They long ago were able
to do what Hitler planned and had
begun to practice change the na-
ture of species not only by creating
a special environment for the young
but also by feeding it certain foods
The bees carefully segregate
the babies the eggs and y
feeding them three different
menus produce three different
classes the workers the drones
and tho queen Illtler had well
workedonl theories for prodno
ng a slaveclass by feeding the
cbildren certatn vitamins with-
holding others weeding ont all
those nndealred by the Nasi
atate feeding and training a
ruling class Foehrerprlnzlp
And now the followers of Marxist
Leninism are set up to carry out the
principle

NEWS REVIEW
WASTE
Anderson
rently tho AAA Is carrying on its
conservation on 3500000 cooperat
ing farms by paying farmers for
following practices intended to In-
crease soil fertility and hence to
Increase production The proposed
fund slash would mean that farm-
ers this year would be paid about
50 per cent of what they previously
had been promised
In answering the criticism the
house appropriations committee
said that Hi recommended cuts are
selective and reasonable based
on actual farm needs
HOUSING
Unfounded Hope
Popular belief that any substan-
tial reductions In the cost of new
housing will occur In the near fu-
ture is not founded on realities
That assertion was made by
James C Downs Jr president of
the Real Estate Research corpora-
tion who explained that besides
being geared to a high national
debt housing costs like prices of
other bard goods are directly af-
fected by the large demand for
American capital and production by
other countries
The housing shortage todsy Is
worse than a year ago he said
and It will continue to grow pro-
gressively worse for some time
He pointed out that Increased
earning power has put a greater
number in the market for new
homes but at the same time build-
ers are afraid to start new con-
struction because of high costs The
theory that prices would drop kept
many persons from buying or build-
ing homes last year Downs said
LIVING DARRICIl FROTECTS CHILDREN Whether the danger
come from tigers or autos mothers always are ready to protect their
young When a narrow residential street In Columbus Ohio became
a speedway for motorists aroused neighborhood mothers formed a
living barrier to traffic to permit their children to cross the street

Farm Budget Cuts Hit
Train Fares Increased
FARM FUROR
Stormy Weather
Possibly the most violent storm
of the year according to the eco
nomlc and political barometer Is
the one which was raised when the
house appropriations committee
recommended a 32 per cent cut in
department of agriculture funds for
the coming year
Slashing more than 383 million
dollars from the amount asked by
President Truman I
the committee
opened the flood-
gates for a deluge
of protests from
Clinton Anderson
secretary of agri-
culture and Demo
c r a 11 c congress-
men who claimed
they would fight
the action right up
to next years elec-
tions If necessary
Declaring that
TRAVEL PAY
Train Fares Up
To offset Increased operating
costs Interstate Commerce com-
mission authorized an approximate
10 per cent increase in basic pas-
senger fares for 60 railroads operat-
ing east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers
The change will boost oneway
passenger rates from 2 2 to 2 5
cents a mile in coaches and from
3 3 to 3 5 cents a miles In sleeping
and parlor cars There will be an
Increase of about 15 per cent In
coach round trip rates and about
four per cent In Pullman round trip
fares
In granting the Increase ICC
noted that those railroads which re-
quested the new rates incurred a
deficit of 54 million dollars from
passenger train operations last
year
ITS WONDERFUL

farm family and the general wel
fare Anderson said that the
greatest harm would be to tho

farm price support program and
programs designed to help veterans

better established

Announcing the Immediate aboli
tion of capital punishment In Hus <
sla Soviet authorities explained the
move on the grounds that It was
made possible by Russias growing
strength the peoples patriotism
and the certainty of peace for a-
long time
Said the Moscow radio The in-
ternational situation during the
time after Germanys capitulation
and Japans capitulation shows that
basic program of promoting soil the cause of peace can be consid
ered secure for a long time in spite
of attempts by aggressive elements
to provoke war
Meanwhile Herbert Hoover
looked on the other side of the mask
to charge Russia with attempting
to bleed the United States through
relief channels and blaming her for
the economic paralysis of Japan
and Germany
He declared that futher relief will
remain necessary as long as the
Soviets continue their obstructionist
tactics and demands for repara-
tions thus blocking peace treaties
with the two countries and keeping
their economies paralyzed

ounting Fire Loss Predicted
CHICAGO With lira losses con
tinuing to mount damage may ex
reed the billion dollar mark fay 1950
Trank A Chrlstensee president of
National Duafd of Fire Underwri-
ters warn in urging support of the
federal action program to save life
and resources which was the result
of President Trumans conference
on fire prevention
The increasing Are waste was
attributed by Chrlstensei to two
causes one physical and one psy
psychological
The physical factor tends to In-
crease the number of flics of all
kinds and the size of losses where
flames gainheadway because of de-
layed alarms poor fire protection
negligence or bad housekeeping
ho explained
The psychological factor arises
out of our careless and reckless
tiablts he explained
Chrlstensen pointed out that since
1M1 national waste by fire has
more than doubled rising to 616
million dollar for the 12 month
ended April of this year from 300
million dollars for 1941
Even more appalling be said
Is the Indication that the loss of
life may have risen to a figure
never experienced before Loss of
life In hotel fires In 1943 was greater
than In any year In our history
Despite a 22 per cent Increase In
arson Investigations the national
board had found a sharp decline In
the number of fires started for profit
during the last year
The board pointed out that la the
year ended April SO Juveniles ac-
counted for almost half of the per-
sons arrested because of Incendiary
fires and persons mentally Irre-
sponsible tor another large share
