waters in that area are particularly difficult for submarine detection, they say. They also say that the submarines knew the convoy was onthe waysand the approximate time of its arrival at the scene of its “destruction.” However, the same factors would favor actual enemy submarines, in the same waters, given proper intelligence through a fifth column. i Our Navy officials say they have given anti-submarine warfare first priority in their plans. They should. Our advantage in industrial capacity would be lost if we could not deliver the goods.

HE faithful followers of the Vegetarian Party may be disappointed in their presidential candidate's rather poor showing, but they mustn't be too surprised. For high prices had already stolen their thunder in many kitchens by replacing that famous “chicken in every pot” with a head of cabbage. The least that the meat-hungry electorate could do was refuse to accept this sad state of affairs as a ‘national policy.

It's About Time .

Flirted With Foes

BUT IT will also be the pay-off for an American policy that forgave no shortcomings in the Kuomintang, excused none of its difficulties and flirted with its foes. And further, it attempted to force a coalition between the Kuomintang and the Communists, then failed to lift a saving hand in the final crisis. If there were indeed American policy-makers who desired the collapse of the Kuomintang—even at the price of communizing China and the rest of Asia-—they may have their wish fulfilled

before long.

“If there were American policy-makers who believed a coalition of “liberal elements of both sides” was China's brightest hope for democratic evolution, they are in for a big surprise— though that no doubt will be the first deceptive face put upon Red rule in China by Americans bemused by the fiction that

Chinese Reds “aren't real Communists.” Question of Survival

SUCH people soon may have their theory put to the test. There are chances, though not sure-fire, that unless communism here has outside support—that is, economic assistance— it could not survive in China once it had shouldered control and attempted economic reorganization of the country, especially in

the cities.

The question whether Russia could provide that outside assistance to the Chinese Reds naturally figures in this. Chances are Russia could or would do nothing for the Chinese Communists outside of Manchuria, except make a gold loan to the

new government. :

Then follows the question whether the Chinese Communists regime is to he granted trade relations with the United States. |, Machinery and certain raw materials will be needed for industrialization of China which, with farm reform, is the declared

goal of the Reds.

American businessmen who have toyed with the idea of doing business with the Chinese Red regime may find that prospect tied up with national interests of the United States. Decision of

The skills required to operate today’s weapons are hard to acquire and have a high sales value on the civillan market. It has been common practice for young men to come into the Army, Navy or Air Force, learn a trade, and then leave to cash in on it in industry. Standardization of flight pay will mean more money for junior officers and correspondingly less for those of higher rank. Today flight pay is 50 per cent of a man’s base pay. Thus a second lieutenant makes considerably less than a colonel or Rescaling it to $50 to $200 .a month-—regardless of rank and 8epending upon the hazards involved—would increase the size of the pay check for most junior officers; sharply reduce it for senior grades.

There has been some discussion of continuing the $1500 income tax exemption for service personnel which expires Dec. 31. Rep. Harold Knutson (R.
