Japanese Peace
Treaty Talks
Get Under Way
New York, Oct. 7—Negotiations for
a Japanese peace treaty are still in
an exploratory stage after nearly a
month of behind the scenes activity
by diplomats at the United Nations.
Republican Advisor John Foster
Dulles has taken the lead here to im
plement President Truman’s Sept.
14 order to the State Department to
get such talks under way.
Between sessions of the general as-
rcmbly he has been meeting with re
presentatives of such Pacific powers
as Australia, New Zealand and the
Ph.lippines. Dulles said, however,
that these talks are merely an ex
change of views and actual negotia
tions will be carried on at a govern
mental level
Tne problem which is slowing pro
gress :* the necessity of reconciling
American desires for an “easy’* treaty
which would permit Japan to rearm
and impose few ■ mmeyial restne-
ti n*. with tne views of those coun-
t ir* which tear revival of Japanese
rr .l.tary aggression and commercial
«ompet.tion.
Dulles said it was too early to say
“The Bait on the Hook” And
“The Cheese In The Trap”
We put the bait on the hook to
catch the poor fish, and we place
the cheese in the trap to feed the
mice, not because we love the mice,
but because we want to match them.
That is exactly what the officials of
the totalitarian, or “welfare states,”
do to us poor “suckers.” They be
guile us with fair promises of gov
ernment' “subsidies” and “grants”
“doles,” provided we vote them into
office and give them the power. They
bait us on by promising us security
if we surrender some of our funda
mental liberties to them so they can
grant us ultimately more liberties.
They promise us more money for less
work, greater security by sharing the
wealth through taxing the rich, great
er freedom from want, giving us
something for nothing.
After we vote them the authority
to exercise totalitarian powers, to
rule us in all our activities of life,
we discover that we voted away our
freedom. Like poor fish that swal
low the bait, we find the hook in our
jaw’, and they pull us around as they
like. We find that one never gets
something for nothing. We find that
they did not feed us the cheese be
cause they loved us, but they enticed
us to nibble at the free cheese until
the trap was sprung, and after that
the feeding of free chees stopped,
Government, like individuals, can
not afford to give you something for
nothing for long without exhausting
the public harder. The only thing you
ever possets and keep as your own
is what you yourself earn and pro
duce. You always have to pay the
fiddler and the piper of the tune.
Free lunches, free bait, free cheese,
and free tuition mean a hook in the
mouth of the one who swallows the

County To Participate
In United Nations
Day Observance
J
Plans for the observance of United
Nations .Flag day, Tuesday, October
24, are being developed in Laurens
county. J. Hewlette Wasson has been
named county chairman.
The observance of United Nations
day will be nation-wide. It is hoped
that the new flag will be floating over
every community in the land.
The theme back of the observance
is given in a statement by President
Truman, who says: “The strength of
the United Nations depends upon the
support it receives from the people
throughout the world. The need for
an international organization to in
sure peace has never been more ur
gent. I call upon the people of this
nation with solemn awareness of the
responsibility of each individual for
strengthening the devotion of the
peoples of the world to the aims of
the United Nations.”
At a state conference of home
demonstration agents held in Sep
tember at Wlnthrop college, home
agents received training in making
United Nations flags. A county-wide
“Betsy Ross” project has been plan
ned, and the first Betsy Ross party
will be held in the agricultural
building Friday, October 13, at 2:30
p.m.
Representatives from all home
demonstration clubs wishing to make
flags will attend. Any civic group in
terested in learning about UN flags
is invited to send a delegate to the
meeting.
The flag making plan is sponsored
by the National Citizens Committee
for United Nations day, and has been
endorsed by farm organizations, and
by labor, retail and industrial inter
ests, veterans, religious, education,
and other groups.
The extension service of the US
department of agriculture will lead
the program for all groups in the
county by making information and
demonstrations available.

following her to America on the
next boat. Craig would probably be
difficult. That was what living in
a small town all of one’s life did to
one. It made one difficult—stubborn
and narfow.
Craig was not at the station to
meet her when she reached Hope-
dale.
She called his house. Craig an
swered. “Hel-lo,’’ she said in her
best affected continent accent.
••Hel-lo,’* said Craig. “Oh, is that
you, honey? You’re back, eh? Fine.
Look. I have to run up to Chicago
tonight on business. Catching the
111 o’clock plane. Suppose we get
together tomorrow?”
t “Tomorrow,” said Fanchon icily,
;Tm going to be busy.”
* “O.K. Make It the next day then.
Be better for me anyhow. I’m
rushed to death.”
Fanchon was furious. The Impu
dence of him! In the next minute,
however, she was glad. This would
give her an opening, and excuse to
be Truel and stiff. However, first
she’d teach him a lesson. She
wouldn't see him when he returned
from Chicago the day after to
morrow.
She didn’t either. She didn't get
the chance. For Craig didn’t return
from Chicago for a week Or at
least that’s what she thought. When
he told her he’d been beck three
days, but had been too busy to con
tact her. she practically choked
from tAge.
“Craig Wilbur, you don’t seem at
all glad to hav« me back!”
“Why. honey, sure I am. We're
going to be married, aren't we?
Just as soon as I can get a week off
from business.”
If Fanchon had had a gun she
probably would have pulled the
trigger nine times. Never had she
felt so humiliated. No telling what
would have happened if Darrell
Urban hadn't popped In. Now. she
thought triumphantly. I'll give Mr.
Craig Wilbur something to think
about!
But Craig, apparently, didn't
have the capacity for thought. He
was dumb. The next time he saw
Fanchon he laughed heartily.
“Met that little man you became
acquainted with in Europe. Nice
chap, but silly. Lucky thing he
came over. He can take you around
while I’m getting my affairs in
shape for the wedding.”
"Oh, you wretch!” howled Fan
chon. “You unspeakable wretch!”
It was two hours later that Dar
rell proposed. Fanchon hadn’t
cooled off from her last meeting
with Craig and she almost accept
ed. just for spite. If Darrell hadn’t
eaten garlic for dinner she would
have.
Two days later Darrell left for
Europe, heartbroken and much
chagrined. An hhur after his de
parture, Fanchon packed a bag and
hopped on a Chicago-bound train.
She couldn’t stay here. It was un
bearable. She’d go up to Chicago
and visit Lita Quintsey for a few
days.
Fanchon wore out three handker
chiefs during the ride to Chicago.

she had a fourth, but she didn’t, so

Fanchon opened and closed her.
mouth. A curious ecstatic sensation
surged from her toes to her red
dened eyelids. Two big tears welled
up into her eyes. She hunted for a
handkerchief. Craig grinned and
produced one big enough to last an
hour or more. By that time they
had reached the J. P.’s office and
there was no further need for
handkerchiefs.
