THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1946 Number 15 ? ®m WASHINGTON. — Tension has cased* somewhat at the old-fash ioned, many chimneyed, grey stone state department building over the f Yugoslav ultimatum. There contin- • ues however to be an a^r of grav ity a^ a result of the entire inci dent, for in diplomatic circles it is recognised that this blunt, blistering ’ note to a more or less unimportant .. puppet state was aimed, not par- l tieularly at Marshal Tito and his communist regime, but at the great 1 power which is guiding and shaping ' the destiny of Yugoslavia .. . Rus- fi H i! ( 4 i j . 4 t « i i to give to the E—that this baa drawn a line beyond which we will not go, and, taken fa conjunction with the stiff mate to as—Ami Stalin concern ing the Dardanelles, marks a new high in American foreign policy setting vp a point where fa ear dealings with the Soviet Union, Russian expansion will be met without compromise or appeasement. The Yugoslav incident h%s over shadowed all other activities in the Twtinnai capital and the highlight of the affair, the golden lining to the black cloud of international crisis, is the fact that the world or ganization of the United Nations has met its first test of world potency. Even Russia did not dare to defy the United Nations and counseled moderation to its puppet, when the threat of the ultimatum was to hail the off«ning nation before the bar of public opinion before the security council of UN. Our state depart ment Ufi* demonstrated to the world that an ultimatum with an “or else” attachment does not necessarily mean; in these days of enlighten ment, mobilization of armed force. the "or else” can and does mean that there is a new moral foree, which Is taking the place of armed force in ear world which Is more effective, more civilized and more Christian. In 1S14 and again in the 1930s an ultimatum such as we dis patched to another nation al most sorely would have meant war. Today even the threat of sanctions or action before the security council of the United Nations brought a blustering communist bully to his senses forced his mentor, Stalin, to tread softly. In diplomatic circles here the re sult of American action, taken as it was during the Paris peace confer ence, is at once a demonstration of our faith in the United Nations and our love cf peace, but it is even more a dramatic illustration of the value of a world, authority such as the United Nations for the prevention of hostilities or armed force. There may be other “incidents” aimed to provoke the United States or heckle us into action. This show down, however which our state de partment met with firmness and without hesitation likely will per suade Russia and any other of her satellite Balkan states, that while we are patient, we are determined to build a permanent peace and that we are ready not only to invoke our own full power, but the power of world action through the United Nations to bring about that peace.

These quotas, the OPA director, said, are based on an analysis cf expected live stock supplies and are subject to periodic revision as sullies increase or drop off. “These reinstated controls will prove a big step in holding down my attempt at black market saughtering,” stated Mr. Talbert - “The order requires all slaughter ers to mark meat with their li- eense number or inspection stamp. Tha* way, any meat illegally sold can be traced back to the person or plant that killed it.” Farmers who kill for their own use, the OPA official pointed out.

During the war many of the pre-war low-priced fabrics became ‘casualties’ as manufacturers switched to production of materi als in more profitable lines, Mr. Tomlin explained. Recently, to return these needed fabrics to the market, OPA granted an increas: averaging 10 per cent to producers, and already production seems on he upswing, Mr. Tomlin stated. The price increase will have practically no effect on the retai prices of men’s, women’s and chil dren’s clothing made from thes^ fabrics, the District Price Execu- ive added.

Shoes made of kid and goat leather—aj?out 10 per cent of all shoe production—are headed for a four or five per cent increase, as result of advances approved for manufacturers by OPA — Canned Hawaiian pineapple and pineapple juice, when you get it, will be a bit more expensive than it used to be.
