FUTURE PACIFIC PEACE PREMIER SOONG of China is in Moscow. His negotiations there rate in importance with the forthcoming Big Three meeting. Just as the latter concerns peace in Europe, the Soong séssions may determine the trend toward stable peace or war in.the Far East after Japan's defeat. " Russia remains the great enigma in Asia. Will she join the war against Japan, and if so what price will she extract? Will she provoke more civil war in China--by supporting the Chinese Communists of the northwest, now in an uneasy temporary truce with Chiang Kai-shek’s central government? Will Russia try to extend her sway in Asia ‘through a sphere-of-influence system of puppet states? : i Whether Russia becomes an ally against the Japanese aggressor soon enough to shorten the war, or waits until the last minute as in the case of Bulgaria, or stays out entirely, is commonly supposed to be the key to the answers to these questions. The common ‘notion is that if she does not participate largely in the victory, she cannot demand spoils. This is logical. But our guess is -that this is an oversimplification. Russia has a way of asking for what she wants, regardless: ; As to her relations with the Chinese Communist, regime, she has no more right to intervene in China than

Chiang Kai-shek would have to support a revolt against Stalin. Actually the test now is not ‘so much open intervention, as the less direct control which Moscow exerts on Communists of other countries. : If Russia acts in the Far East as in eastern Europe she will take over certain border areas and in others set up “friendly” regimes dependent on her. In the past she " has been interested in Chinese Turkistan (Singkiang); Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Manuchuria and Korea. | Control of most of these would make her in fact the overlord of all China and easfern Asia.

OUR TOWN—
Mutter Jonas By Anton Scherrer -
SIXTY YEARS ago, when I was . a little boy, almost évery ward in
Mrs. Augusta Jackman; for example, delivered ‘most of the babies of Irish Hill (Ward 7), Mrs. Minnie Jonas watched over the future of Ward 6 and Mrs. Beier did the same for No. 9. mie All .three women lent luster to a noble. Victorian practice. . Their business was. phenomenal. Mrs. | Jonas, for instance, “delivered as many babies as any five Southside doctors at the time. Indeed, it was nothing extraordinary for her to have a dozen babies going- at once. Mrs: Beier specialized in producing large-sized families! Typical examples:

of Mr. and Mrs. Ignatz Hurrle. . Mrs. Jackman’s business was ‘so big that it required the help of a horse and buggy. :
ornament—of the bailiwick in which I lived which explains why I know more about her: tham I do about the others. Everybody, including even those of Irish extraction, called her “Mutter”: (the German equivalent for “mother”). She looked the part not only because of her sweet and lovely face, but also because of the kirid of bohnet she wore. It was a little black bonnet. tied securely under her several receding chins with fwo enormous broad ribbons. Her dress was also black and I always thought it strange that she should choose a color so depressing when everybody regarded her as a harbinger of joy.
Tools of the. Trade
WHEN SHE appeared on the streets, Mutter Jonas alwys carried a little black satchel. The kids of the primary department of Public School No. 6 insisted that she delivered her babies by way of it. They were ill informed. The satchel contained her aprorr and, like as not, other paraphernalia connected with ‘her profession. The apron was the badge of her profession inside.the house, Divested of her black bonnet and clad in her big white apron which covered every part of her body. Mutter Jonas was the very picture of efficiency. This time there was no mistaking the fact that she” was a bearer of good tidings. aT Mutter Jonas charged five dollars to deliver a baby.

We are not among those who charge Russia with such ambitions in advance. But neither can we go along with those who think Russia is above the international code applied to other great powers. Therefore we are disturbed by her failure at this late date to commit herself to the freedom of China and, in due. course, of Korea—as the United States and Britain have done. We hope a Russian good neighbor policy toward China will come out of the Soong-Stalin negotiations. : The issue is much bigger than China. the future peace of the Pacific.

ALLIED APPRECIATION
HERE has been much loose talk about our allies’ lack of appreciation of America’s contribution to victory. Returning veterans relate unhappy experiences of the sort. Most of the stories undoubtedly are accurate, but they grow with civilian re-telling. Then we begin to generalize, and to blame whole countries for the attitude of a few of their less desirable citizens. That isn’t fair. Since we are particularly sensitive to this kind of foreign criticism of America, we should be more justin our generalizations about others. 3 If there are Americans. who think the British, for instance, belittle our war effort, they should read and remember the statement just made by Field Marshal Montgomery. This frank commander said the United States saved his country in 1941—“I admit it, we were finished and you came along and gave us a helping hand.”
she had collected. It reveals the amazing fact that a lot of men and ‘women parading the streets of Indianapolis today have never been paid for.
Where Do Babies Come From?
THERE 1S every reason to believe that the techflique practiced by Mutter Jonas was not unlike that of her colleagues. In one respect, however, the three midwives differed greatly. They didn't give the same answers when asked by inquisitive children to explain the origin of babies. Both Mutter Jonas and ‘Mrs. Jackman had a set of pat pseudo-scientific ‘reasons touch up with ‘a certain amount of romance. They et. a lot to the imagination. Apparently, however, they were good enough to get rid of the pests. On the other hand, Mrs. Beier went right to the root of the matter. She actually showed children where babies come from. One day. back in the Eighties, so runs the legend, a group of Noble street kids ganged upon- Mrs. Beier and challenged ner to reveal the .age-long mystery. Mrs. Beier invited the children to follow Her. After a short walk, she aniiounced that they had arrived

But no American should hear Montgomery's admission. that America saved his country in 1941 without adding that Britain, standing’ alone, had saved us and the world. As for the American help going to Britain today,
Churchill himself added the characteristic comment: “We “have to get out of that position because I am sure you will feel with me that we do not want to be dependent upon anyone—not even on our best friends and comrades.

Indeed, the opinions they have expressed about -this bill are.almost as harsh as the opinions they have expressed, from time to time, about one another. . Donald Richberg, chairman of the committee of citi‘zens which worked out the bill's preliminary draft, has now challenged Messrs, Green, Murray and Lewis, or their lawyers or other spokesmen, to defend their statements in public debate.

IN WASHINGTON— .
Ache Control
By Peter Edson
WASHINGTON, July 2-<You know, some of the things they doin congress make sense at that. After spending four years and billions of dollars for war, talking interminably about such incomprehensible. issues as reciprocal trade agreements, . contract terminations, cartels, Bretton Woods, cutbacks, carryover, surplus, property disposal, reconversion, UNRRA and such things, a few senators-have finally gotten around to
$
stand—toothache, This is getting right down to~t#e decayed root of all evils—lumbago, loss of sleep, distemper, bad grades, indebtedness, absenteeism, “poor eyesight, wife-beat-ing, alcoholism, and an .inability to chaw utility grade beef. If congress could just pass a law making it illegal for anyofié to have a toothache, things dught to start getting better right away, whether the senate confirms the San Francisco Pearly Gate charter or no. The three stalwart statemen who have been bold enough to fill in the cavity, bridge the gap, touch the nerve center and get their teeth into this bleeding gum of a situation are the Hon. James E. Murray of Montana, the Hon. Claude Pepper of Florida, and the Hon. George T: Aiken of Vermont. This gives the cause a strictly "non-partisan, 50-50 backing—two . Democrats to one Republican.
Research Institutes Proposed SENATOR MURRAY'S proposal is to spend a mile lion bucks to establish a National Institute of Dental Research and then appropriate .another- $730,000 a year to keep it going. This would be cheap. Many's the man who has said, “I'd give $1,730,000 to be rid of this blankety blank blank ‘blatikety bicuspid.” Well, here's a law which would do the trick. Dental research, of course, is what the tooth carpenter does when he starts pokin’ around. The Murray bill would simply put this pokin’ on a more scientific basis, to get at the cause of toothaches, then extract the causes. ; Ca Senators Pepper and Aikén, jointly, have a supplementary bill which would appropriate federal money for grants-in-aid to states and local governments so they could establish and mantain “adequate measures for the prevention, treatment, and control of such (dental) diseases, including dental-care programs for children, the training of personnel for state and local dental health work, and the development and maintenance of effective means for the education of the public concerning dental disease.” mouthful for you to test your new store teeth on. Hearings on both these bills were held hefore the senate committee on education and labor last week. What there is educational about a toothache is hard to figure, but you've got to admit it's labor. Surgeon Gen, Thomas W. Parran of the U. 8. public Health service estimates that the cost of the Pepper-Aiken bill would ‘be only about $6,000,000 the second year and maybe $10,000,000 a year thereafter. That's about what is spent now on T. B. and venereal disease control.
Reconversion Suggestion =. BUT THINK what a post-war employment project this dental care business might become, Think of all those idle machine tools at Willow Run that could be moved right into dentists’ offices. - Better still, why not convert Willow Run into the Institute of Derital Research? Instead of making Liberators to kill peo~ ple with, the big Ford plant could be used to liberate mankind from all that suffering. Dental work on the assembly line. Oh, boy! A new set of uppers and lowers every six seconds. ve ER Think, foc, of all the individual 'WPA' projects that could be financed by those grants-ii-aid.
