Armistice Day he | HE Armistice Day we observe today will, once more, have hollow meaning. Thirty-two years ago we joyfully celebrated the original Armistice Day as the beginning of a peace that ‘would bring a new and better world. It did not come about. In 1941 we were at war again, — Then came two niore armistice days to’ mark the end of the war—first, the surrender of Germany and then the surrender of Japan, both in 1945. Again, hopes were lifted and we thought that, at the price of so much blood and tears, we had bought peace. :
= = s ANOTHER five years have elapsed, and American soldiers once more are fighting on foreign soil, selling their = lives for the peace we all want. Selection of the symbolic unknown soldier for World War II has been put off. That is because we do not know whether to consider the present fighting in Korea an unfinished part of the second world’ war, or the start of still another. It is too early to say, but this we know: There is no peace.

In this connection, it is noted that Mr. Taft's suggestion that perhaps Europe can’t be defended and that our foreign aid policy ought to be aired was made in a weekly report to Ohioans written before the election. Mr. Taft's views were not based uponi the woting results, though it is admitted they probably were strengthened by his decisive win.

Mr. Acheson himself, in a suspiciously jovial mood yesterday, said he had no intention to resign. It is known he was in contact with the White House before making the statement. It is felt that the loudest clamor in the new Congress will come from those advocating that the United States émbrace Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa with greater ardor and that we get really tough with Red China.

AND YESTERDAY, two days after the election, ‘Mr. Brannan yielded to the cotton bloc and announced an increase of about 60 per cent in - the amount of cotton that could be sent abroad from our short supplies. Cotton prices, which had jumped $2 per bale on Wednesday, jumpéd another $5.40 yesterday. Closing spot market prices yesterday were 41.68 cents a pound—a new 30-year high. There are many who believe that cotton prices now may soar to as high as 50 cents a . pound, in view of the greatly increased amounts that can be shipped abroad. What Mr. Brannan did was to increase export allocations enough so that 3,496,000 bales

5,700,000 bales for the past season. Cotton prices are high because of war demands and the small 1950 crop. The estimated 1950 crop of 9.8 million bales is 6.2 million bales less than was produced in 1949 and 1.7 million bales below the 1938-48 average.
