U. S. Faces Crossroads

Of Balkan Policy: Needle or Give Up

Some Believe Nation Cap Win Diplomatic

Victories in Balkans Despite Iron Curtain

By GEORGE WELLER, Times Foreign Correspondent VIENNA, July 15.—Russia’s split of Europe’ into two blocs brings the United States to a fork in its Balkan policy. The U. 8. can either take the right turn i assume that the Soviets’ curtain is impenetrable, and the game is-over. Or the U. 8. can turn left and continue the batile of two prestiges on the Balkan level

in various countries. Obviously the Soviets would prefer that America take the righthand route. The policy of renuncia-~ tion, withdrawal and isolation, founded at Teheran by Franklin D. Roosevelt, is the cornerstone of Kremlin policy. Some defeatists, even in the U. S. state department, assume that American legations in the Balkans —except for Greece and Turkey— can henceforward be nothing but watchtowers for information and complaint boxes where: America files useless protests against parliamentary abuses and unheeded pleas for its newspapermen and other observers to enter. There is also a school that insists that the U. 8. should. not give up so easily. These optimists, who also count for something in the state department, say that if the Soviets can make trouble for the U. 8. in South America without spending much money, the U. 8. can, do likewise in eastern Europe, where it has given away hundreds of millions. British Teach Lesson Britain has given the & S. two lessons in how this resistance can be carried out in individual countries. When Greece's rightist police claimed allied support for them, carried out mass deportations and the British carefully denied any such implication. The British shook their skirts clean with the an-| nouncement that they recommended moderation. “ | America, however, while shipping; tens of more arms into Greece,| made no denial and thereby ac-| cepted partial responsibility for the latest additions to the thousands of political prisoners Janguisiing in island camps, . Communists throughout the Balk- | ans find their hands strefigthened as the U. 8. ennmres itself deeper in’ Greek monarchists’ intrigues: and | excesses. : Tourists to Yugoslavia In Yugoslavia the British also are finding ways to get along with a regime that on principle they oppose. Yugoslavia’s lovely Dalmatian coast has been opened up to British tourist trade. British propaganda exhibits have been successful in Belgrade and Zagreb. Forty-six British students have left London to work this summer at manual labor on the new “youth railroad” from Sarajevo to Sumac. They come from Oxford and the University of London, They relieve

World's ‘Oldest’ Stamp Is Found

Attached to Letter Written in 1806

ROME, July 15 (U. P.).—A tiny rectangle of paper, supposedly the world’s oldest postage stamp, has been rediscovered in the small Italian Adriatic coastal town of Cerilgnola.

It was purchased for a “consider-

{able amount” by agents of Louis

Massabo de philatelist,

The ancient stamp bears no date mark, but was attached to a letter written March 22, 1806. In the letter an Aleppo merchant gave secret information to the “Magnificent Messer Leonardo” Contarini of Venice about Napoleon's plans for the conquest of Rome. More than 34 years older than the world’s recognized oldest postal stamp, the British one-penny, edition of May 6, 1840, the Aleppo stamp carries no indication of national origin but enly the legend “Genoa-Cadiz Post” and a figure representing the Virgin and Child. Its expressed value is one “patacca” an old and long valueless Por- | tuguese coin. Hidden through two world wars, (the Aleppo stamp narrowly missed being lost when the liner Titanic sank off Newfoundland after striking an iceberg in 1912. An American agent had intended to buy the stamp and ship it on the Titanic, transaction when suddenly ordered ‘home by his firm,

Plan Set to Boost : Japan's Food 34%

15-Year Program Drafted by Americans

By SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE Seripps-Howard Staff Writer TOKYO, July 15~Japan's five-

| year plan "for land reclamation and improvement has now given way to a 15-year program laid down by American experts. The program is expected to increase food produc. tion 34 per cent by 1960. Nevertheless even this plan, matched against an amazing population rise already in evidence, will continue to mean ; a heavy food deE ficiency for gen- # erations, Unofficial findings of Lindsey A. Brown, land reclamation specialist for, Gen. MacArthur's headquarters, Show the possibility of reclaiming 3,750,000 acres of uncultivated areas. ; One Crop a Year But this land will pe compara- | tively unproductive because it is largely in the uplands where the short season prohibits more than one crop a year, Furthermore, it Is pointed out that only 85 per cent of the reclaimed land can be irrigated. The present program, and hopes, of MacArthur headquarters there-

Mr. Whipple

fore are largely pinned to efforts,

toward improving farm methods on currently - producing rice lands. Some of these have suffered from recurring floods destroying as high as three crops out of five, The reclamation project contemplates certain changes in the. national diet, tending away from rice. Will Grow Potatoes © The reclaimed land probably. will lead in potato production, then wheat, and, third, soybeans. It is hoped thereby that by 1960 the daily calorie consumption per person from native soil will rise from the- present estimated 1600 to 1850, although this still will: be below normal requirements.
