UR government has vigorously protested removal to Russia of Manchurian factories. The state departinent, in reply to the claim of the Soviet commandant that he stripped Manchuria under a secret allied agreement, PAYS we have no agreement, secret or otherwise, with the Soviet Russian government or any other government in regard to war booty in Manchuria, This government does not accept any interpretation of war booty to include industrial enterprises or the components thereof, such as Japanese industries and equipment in Manthuria.” This situation is all the more serious because Washington notified Moscow some time ago that Japanese external assets must not be touched pending an allied repara-

tinued the theft. This is the only accurate word to describe the Soviet acts. For, as Secretary Byrnes said in his New York speech Thursday night: “No power has a right to help itself to alleged enemy properties: in liberated or exsatellite countries.” Now that Russia has walked off with much of the industrial equipment of Manchuria, she may try to “legalize” the dishonesty.by forcing China to agree at the point of a gun. This doubtless is one of the reasons she is keeping Soviet troops in Manchuria in violation of her treaty with China and in defiance of repeated Chinese mands for their evacuation. ; But the state department will not accept any such subterfuge. It has informed Moscow that the Jap assets in Manchuria cannot be disposed of either by Russia alone or by Russian-Chinese agreement, because they are “a matter of common interest and concern to those allies who bore the major burden in defeating Japan.” Of course, the United States “bore the major burden.” "Stalin is very stupid in trying his strong arm stuff in Manchuria. He is undermining the friendship not only of China but of the United States, which he needs.

"You Don't Have a Thing to Kick About' Is Help Request Answer"

By Jerry Taylor, Indianapolis

CONGRESS AND HOUSING

~ super-salesman job of persuading organized homebuilders to go along with major elements of his plan-for doubling house output in the next two years. We wish that meant everything is now hunky-dory,

they deserve. But consider the plight of congress in trying to make sense of the housing muddle. All this week the members have been flooded with tele-

the proposed amendment to stimulate production of ma- _ terials by $600 million in “premium payments.” these messages were inspired by the National Association of Homebuilders, whose directors have now reversed them- ~ - selves as a result of Mr. Wyatt's salesmanship at Chicago. But the Producers Council, representing buildingproducts manufacturers, wired all congressmen yesterday that it is still as vigorously opposed as ever to the Wyatt program. = “Premium payments”—in other words, government subsidies—would only encourage inefficiency and further delay home construction, the council said. - Consider, also, the government's own fumbling. In October, with loud fanfare, it lifted war production board controls and told the industry to go ahead on its own. In December, as the gravity of the housing shortage became apparent, controls similar in effect were restored. January Mr. Wyatt entered the picture, with powers over the industry unequalled even in wartime. In this confused atmosphere the house banking committee tried to write a bill to. accomplish Mr. Watt's objectives, After some pretty feeble efforts, it gave up trying to decide such disputed points as the subsidy plan, and dumped a skeleton measure into the house with the idea ‘that it could be perfected by amendménts there. That's a poor way to legislate. Urgent as housing is, congress can serve the veterans’ interests better by taking time and pains to do a careful job, and by ignoring pressure groups whose policies seem as limber and indecisive as the government's. It would do well to remember that the indorsement of the Wyatt program ‘comes from ‘a branch of the industry whose members, by and. large, have geared their performance to a doctrine of scarcity and high prices. Congress also should remember that subsidies, at best, can be no more than a temporary expedient. In principle, we_ think, they represent surrender to the theory that everybody must help foot the bill for excessive housing costs. If congress votes subsidies, it should make certain that they will not be used to freeze homebuilding into its present mold of inefficiencies, wastes, restrictive industry and labor practices and out-of-date building codes.

| THE LAST real-for-sure snuffer of which I Have any distinct recollection waé Sammy Green, an Englishman who came to. Indianapolis in 1850, or thereabouts. I made his acquaintance some time around the turn of the century when he was every bit of 70 years old. 2 ; Mr. Green used snuff the traditional way, which is to say that he poked it up his nose. It's practically a lost art today. Modern people don't know how to use snuff. They place a pinch of It in the mouth inside the lower lip, Either that, or they hide it in the cheek and handle it like a quid " of tobacco. Experienced addicts can hold it in that position. Novices have to get rid of 30 minutes or less. Contrary to general belief,

A well-appointed prewar pharmacy used to carry at least half-a-dozen brands including Work Mate (flavored with oil of wintergreen); Maccoboy (attar of roses); and Team Mate (spearmint). And for those who were allergic to perfumes, a reliable druggist always carried Railroad Plain, Railroad Sweet, Society and Ralph.

Snuff’ and War : THE YEAR BEFORE Pearl Harbor, Indianapolis consumed close to 100,000 pounds of snuff, every ounce of which escaped the nostrils. It was used mostly by mechanics, railroad workers, window washers, iron

At present “there are clouds no bigger than a man’s hands,” indicating that snuff is staging a comebacks (The above quoted words, which are those of Harold Ickes, appear in today’s column with permission of the Republicans.) Besides being the last real-for-sure snuffer, Sammy Green was also the only man I ever knew who served in the Crimean war and lived to tell the tale. He had

REFLECTIONS . . . By Thorias National Issues

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 4—An interesting part of getting away from Washington and visiting another section comes in the questions people ask about what is going on in the national capital. It offers a clue to their judgment of what are current major issues and indicates what they are thinking. The south is somewhat different from other sections. But, aside from heavy emphasis now in bitter inquiries about. the fair employment practices bill.

-| Questions raised here ware perhaps fairly typical of

the whole country. Some of them are: What has happened to Truman? And, part of that: Will Pauley be confirmed? (This’ apparently has aroused more interest than anything that has occurred in Washington in a long time. Republicans undoubtedly will be pleased). ’ 3 - . What is Russia up to? (This question was heard repeatedly, and just that way, even before Senator Vandenberg asked it in the senate. His speech caused a lot of discussion. Everybody is seeking light and getting little). :

Is President Truman going to run again? And, incessantly: What is going to happen to FEPC? Will they ever pass. that (blank) thing? (Supply your own adjectives. They are all being used). — ~ When they ask “What has happened to Truman?” the meaning differs according to who asks it. If it is somebody in the business or industrial community, you. quickly learn that they mean “Why has President Truman followed the New Deal so closely?” They hoped he would not, and had the

—-<SVASHINGTON, March 4.—Whatever else may COL. ...s mission w the United States, the visit of Leon Blum, Prance’s former premier, should serve to rekindle the sometimes flickering flame of friendship and understanding between his country and ours. Probably no one could speak for his country better than this grand old man of French socialism. “As far as I am concerned,” he says of himself, “I am a French Jew and I can conscientiously say that I am a good Frenchman. My ancestors were Alsatians, which means that they were Prench. I was brought up asa Frenchman. I attended French schools. My friends were French. I have held official positions.” M. Blum is 74 years old. He comes of a family of wealthy merchants. He is an editor, publicist and author. His Paris home, looking out on the Seine, is a center of literature and art and he is a recognized critic. Yet he has always battled for the underdog, often risking bodily injury or even his life in so doing. Royalist Editor Charles Maurras once-said: “I.make myself personally responsible for the assassination of Blum.” :

WASHINGTON, March 4.—Alabama Senator John H.

The probe set out to inquire into reports that large quantities of cotton cloth are being diverted into export trade and relief while U. 8. cotton clothing

The investigation has been broadened “to: cover the whole cotton clothing situation, however, 80 anything may come out later. “I don't see any shirts coming,” the Alabama senator commented. : On thé opening day of the committee hearings it became evitlent the senators might have other things in mind, such as a back-door method of removing all cotton, industry price controls. This suspicion was heightened when it was observed that, sitting at Chairman Bankhead's right elbow, prompting him on various questions and coaching a witness now and then, was a handsome stranger. .

Experienced Lobbyist INQUIRY REVEALED that the handsome stranger was H. L Fishback of New: York. He says he has*no official connection with the Bankhead committee, but is serving merely in an advisory capacity. He served in a similar capacity, he said, for Virginia Congressman Howard Smith's committee’ to investigate the
