THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. SIDES FOR NEXT WAR PARIS. — Perhaps it has ceased to be news but, even so, it can’t be emphasized too often that this so-called peace conference is actually a choosing up of sides for another war unless something vital and electrifying in the way of diplomacy steps in to prevent it. Events are moving with terrific speed while this conference moves with humdrum slowness. In the Russian zone of Germany, 12 fac tories are pouring out munitions for the Red army. In Czechoslo vakia, the sum of 400 million dol lars has been appropriated for mu nitions — all of a standard type, interchangeable with either the Czech or the Red army. Yugoslavia and Poland also are pouring out standardized Russian arms. Meanwhile this peace confer ence talks sonorously, piously of procedure and precedents. Mean while, also, the sides are chosen —the line-up, unless heroic measures head it off—for the next war. The line-up of Russian satellites never varies. In all the conference voting from San Francisco through the United Nations assembly in New York to Paris, Russia's stooges only once voted against their masters in the Kremlin. That was when Byelorussia got its signals crossed. Russia can be ab solutely sure of the following votes on every rollcall, come hell or high water: Byelorussia, the Ukraine, Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslo vakia. The line-up on the other side varies. It is significant that the British dominions frequently desert England. This proves there’s real democracy in the British empire Australia and New Zealand vote more than half the time against England; Canada about 50-50. South Africa and India frequently are aligned with England, although not always. The most forthright leaders of the anti-Soviet bVoc are Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil and Bel gium. Note—Most pathetic satellite in the Soviet line-up is Jan Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, now nick named “The Prisoner of Zenda.’ Son of old President Thomas Mas aryk, who founded the_ Czechoslo vak republic in Pittsburgh in 1918 under the godfathership of Wood- row Wilson, Jan Masaryk’s sym pathies are all with the United States and Britain. But with his country solidly surrounded by Rus sia, he votes consistently with the Russian bloc. ACCUSED OF SNOOPING It isn’t being advertised but Lt. Gen. Sir John Harding, command er of Allied forces in Venezia Giulia, has sent a hot cable to the White House and the British for eign office against dynamic ex- Mayor La Guardia of New York, accusing the fiery Fiorello of snooping in Trieste. General Hard ing demanded that the White House and the British crack down on La Guardia and prevent him from slandering American and British troops in Trieste. In fact. General Harding even threatened his resig nation unless he got full support. As a result the .British, which have some jurisdiction over La Guardia because UNKRA is international, sent New York^ former mayor an appeal to pipe down. Apparently it did no good, * .vever. It was after receiving uie London appeal that Fiorello boasted that 25 good New York cops could clean up the thieving in Trieste. La Guardia previously had demanded that the Anglo-American troops in Trieste prevent the whole sale disappearance of UNRRA supplies. Note—During the war, F. D. R. promised La Guardia a commis sion as brigadier general and the job of helping to govern Italy, but the army brass hats blocked it. Ap parently they figured they could never handle the ferocious Little Flower. British generals now think their American colleagues were right. DON’T MISS A TRICK Chief trouble with the American delegation at this peace confer ince is that it lets the opposing team take too many bases on balls and steal second too many times. Meanwhile, the Russians are on the umpire’s neck, yelling themselves hoarse over every close decision. They don’t miss a trick. If a bunt down the first baseline is called a foul, the Russians will argue until blue in the face that it was a fair hall. Finally, the op posing side gets tired of wrangling and arguing and gives in. • • • MOLOTOFF COCKTAIL The hard-hitting, mercurial for eign minister of Russia has cnanged his tactics a lot since the United Nations conference at San Francisco. Also, since the council of foreign ministers in London last September. At Paris, Molotoff Is playing his cards more carefully. Perhaps he realizes that public opinion has crystallized against Russia. At any rate, instead of hurling Molotoff cocktails when things go against him, he has been outwardly calm. RefUvU&i In WASHINGTON By Walter Shead WNC/i WNU Washington Bureau, 16li Eye St.. N. W, U. N.'s Food Organization Discusses World Problems FARM leaders, agricultural ex- 1 perts and government officials interested in agriculture are plac ing great stress on the outcome of the meeting of the food and agri cultural organization of United Na tions, which opened its fourth ses sion in Copenhagen on September 2. The session likely will last ap proximately two weeks. Organized in the United States, the FAO has held three organiza tional meetings, one in Mexico City, another in South America and the third in Canada. This fourth meeting is in Denmark. Each of the national farm organ izations has one representative at the meeting to press for the pro duction and distribution plans which were the result of the recent international agricultural meeting in London. The state department, as this is written, has not an nounced names of the American of ficial delegates, but the department of agriculture already has desig nated several men who will be come, along with farm organiza tion leaders, a part of the Ameri can advisory group. These include Under - Secretary of Agriculture Dodd, production and marketing administration’s Shields, Wells of the bureau of agricultural econom ics, Bowles (not Chester) of the foreign agricultural relations de partment, Lambert of agricultural research and Stiebeling of home economics. This meeting of FAO will hatch the first long range program for world agriculture, based upon a worldwide survey, which has just been completed and which includes 70 countries. John Orr of Scotland, director general of FAO, will present the proposals for this food program which, if adopted, will be laid be fore the meeting of United Nations at its scheduled meeting in Octo ber. Many Smaller Meetings This program is the result of ex ploration into the reasons for sur pluses and shortages in world food supply, and is expected to contain provisions for preventing the re currence of such conditions.- In the meantime, committees of the or ganization have been holding meet ings in various - European cities on such questions as diet, nutritional goal, possible changes in produc tion to meet the goal, a current appraisal of the food situation in all the countries of the world, eco nomics and statistics, forestry and agricultural production and re search. Reports on these various phases of the agricultural picture will be presented to the meeting for rejection, adoption or modifica tion. Farm leaders here are con vinced that the future of Ameri can agriculture is clqsely bound with world agriculture, and that never again can the United States draw within her shell with a policy of isolation. Our own agricultural maiket is so sensitive that it will be gov erned largely by world agricultural production, prices and distribu tion. No longer can our expanded production depend upon the domes tic market for consumption. Seventy countries are now mem bers of the FAO and two new coun tries, Italy and Switzerland, are expected to apply for membership at the Copenhagen meeting. In connection with the economics and statistics report, it might be well to consider the recent report of the bureau of economics of the agriculture department, supple mented by findings of the Federal Reserve board, to the effect that some 32 million families in this country still are earning less than $3,000 per year. If that figure is true in this country, and it un doubtedly is, think what the meager income must be of untold millions of families of the rest of the world. , Most People Have Little Despite the fact that the Ameri can people have savings of some thing like 81 billion dollars in bank deposits, currency and government bonds . . . yet 70 per cent of the American people have little or nothing saved for the in evitable rainy day . . . the saving being concentrated in the upper in come brackets . . . the people who take in $10,000 or more a year, and who were well off before the war. So the war, which poured hun dreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of the American people, still left the country with the in come divided just about as it was before the war. What then must be the plight of European and Asi atic countries? So distribution, surplus and price too, at this important meeting of FAO will be one of the major fac tors to be discussed in any long range agricultural program in which feeding of the world’s popu lation is the most essential job be fore the organization. CLAIMS WORLD’S SMALLEST COLT . . . Whoever heard of a 15-pound eolt? But seeing is believing and above is “Cricket,” 15 pounds of long legs, fuzzy hair and frisky tail. Seven-year-old “Tiny,” a 210 pound pony, believed to be the smallest matured pony in the world, gave birth to “Cricket.” They are shown with their owner, Homer Houser, Dayton, Ohio, who raises colts and shows them at fairs. ALREADY MAKING THEIR MARK ON THE WORLD. . . Piloted by nurse Anne Lambiase, baby Marie Elena records her footprint on the hospital birth certificate, at the Long Island College hospital, Brooklyn, where the 22,000th mark was passed. Another newcomer to this vale of tears protests as he awaits his turn to pc<, a footprint on the sands of time. At right, babies Marie Elena and Mildred Ann are initiated into the blackfoot tribe and seem contented. Movement has been underway for some time. EXPARATROOPERS GO RIGHT ON ’CHUTING . . . When Lucius Rucker, left, and Fred Cole got out of the army, they thought they were through with parachutes. They had trained and dropped some 5,000 agents behind enemy lines in World War II. BROKE LA FOLLETTE TRADI TION ... For the first time in 40 years, a La Follette will not be a member of the U. S. senate at next session. This was as sured by the defeat of Sen. Rob ert La Follette by Joseph R. Mc Carthy, for the Republican nomi nation. La Follette had recently rejoined the Republican party. WHALE OF A FISH—STORY! . . . Mildred Knight, Chicago, is amazed (and so are we) by the extremely rare "fur fish” exhibited by Pat Wilsic, Boulder Junction, Wis. The fur fish is one of three hippocampus specimens on record and there won’t be another for 50 years. Wilsic is a member of the Burlington Liars elub and claims the fish weighed 13 pounds when caught in waters 50 to 60 degrees below zero. It was 2 feet 6% inches long. PAINTS WHILE SWIMMING . . . Prince Akahito, 14, who is spend ing his vacation at the Japanese royal family summer villa, is pic tured as he draws while swim ming. This is not a show-offish stunt but part of his training. Oscar Purkey to Trygve Lie “Mr. Trxgve Lie, secretary-general of the United Nations, says US'/, has not succeeded in capturing the imagination and harnessing the enthusiasms of the peoples of the world."—News item. Dear Trygve: Me being a G.I. in the recent globul shindig and having high hopes about the U. N. making breach of the peace unpopular, I am interested in your coming right out and admitting that it ain’t so hot so far. The U. N. has not only not captured no imaginations, it has not even made contact with them. • And as a hamesser of enthusi asms it looks like most of the time it could not tell a horse collar from a fly net. And what is the trouble? I will tell you, Mr. Lie. There is no color, no ziperoo, no showman ship and no wallop in the routine. This U. N. has got the biggest chance in the world, it has got the center of the stage and extra spot lights and it is duller than another musical comedy interpretive bal let. " ♦ First of mil why does it make so much fuss about a permanent home when it should be too busy to be home much anyhow and how does it expect to harness the en thusiasms of people living in one- story bungalows and Quonset huts all over the world when it keeps issuing maps where it would like to have maybe 40 acres of choice real estate including manor houses, mountain views, cross ventilation and swimming rights? I tell you as just another guy getting hump backed living in a Quonset without even a shower that the U. N. would harness my enthusiasm faster if it could give me the idea it didn’t need so much de luxe real estate. * You and the boys just grab your self a few Quonsets here and there, do your laundry in the sink and be satisfied with one pot of geraniums for landscaping and you will make a hit with the peoples of the world okay. ♦ And for the luwapete put on some counterattraction to crab this Gromyko’s act. If you want to cap ture imaginations do something about Mister Veto even if you have to fix it to bring in some delegates on our side like Frankie Sinatra, Bob Hope, Hedy Lamarr. The world is pretty soft in the head and as all it goes for in a big way now is light stuff and crime you have got to get some big amuse ment world names in the show. * Look at the newspapers, the front pages are full of pictures of boy bandits, flagpole brides ar..d 12- year-old gunmolls. Couldn’t you fix it to have some of these kid out laws stick up a meeting of U. N. land maybe have a delegate from Australia on top of a flagpole over U. N. headquarters so you could get immediate attention by people everywhere? - • You will not capture no imagina tions and harness no enthusiasms nowheies unless you do. Yours with best wishes, OSCAR PURKEY. • • • FORGOTTEN AMERICANISMS 1. —"Official club rate for caddies 75 cents, no tipping." 2. —“I gave you a dollar for that round; where's my change?"
