Sell-Out to Reds

HE American proposal to let Formosa's fate be settled by the Pacific “big four” powers—Russia, Britain, the United States and China—is tricky power politics at its worst. There's a hidden joker in this deal. Britain, having recognized Red China, would be expected to vote with Russia to give Formosa to the ‘Communists. The United States would vote against that action. And so, of course, would. Nationalist China.

regime at Peking and gives it Nationalist China’s seat in the United Nations, the Big Four lineup would become three to one for turning Formosa over to the Reds.

~ - » : THAT would give communism a springboard from which it could attack the Philippines and breach the American defense line between those islands and Japan. On the authoritative word of Gen. MacArthur, it is vital to American security that Formosa should remain in friendly hands. Both Formosa and Manchuria were awarded to Nationalist China by the Cairo conference in 1943. If there is any question about the legality of that award, why isn't Manchuria’s status also at issue? The Chinese Communists are in control there.

» - GRANTING that it would be impossible to liberate Manchuria from Red control without a costly land war in Asia, the United States has no good reason for moving the Communist threat closer to our Pacific coast by sanctioning an arrangement which would give Formosa to the Reds. Britain is eager to make any ' deal it can to protect its interests in Hong Hong and Malaya from attack. But . America’s first consideration should be our own security and that of our protege, the Philippines. State Department bungling abandoned China to the Communists. This new deal, if it goes through, will give the Reds a sea and air base from which to make eventual war on the United States.

Traitors Within’ ATTORNEY GENERAL McGRATH has filed a formal charge that the Communist Party in the United States is a creature of Soviet Russia. He has asked that the party be required to register as a Russian agency under the McCarran Internal Security Act, of 1950, otherwise known as the Communist-control law. hd ! ~ His request was made to the Subversive Activities Control Board, appointed by President Truman in compliance with that law. In support of his petition, the Attorney General submitted a long bill of particulars asserting that the

Union and international Communist organizations; reports regularly to Moscow and is subject to discipline by the Kremlin; consistently supports Russian policies, even when - they are contrary to American policies.

“IN the event of war,” the petition affirms, “Com-

the McCarran Act's registration provisions, which the Communist Party has defied and which. the government is now moving formally to enforce, as futile and danger ous. - Mr. Truman stated his objections to those provisions in a message to. Congress last September, when he tried unsuccessfully to veto the McCarran Act Suppose, he said in effect, that the Subversive Activities Control Board did order the Communist Party to register as an agent of Russia. The party could then appeal to the courts. Two to four years might elapse ‘before there could be a final disposition of the case. And then the party’s leaders could easily frustrate the law by. simply dissolving the party and starting a new one with a new list of nominal officers. = ~ # ” ~ ” AND, he asserted, provisions requiring registration of “so-called Communist-front organizations” might raise - “the greatest danger to freedom of speech, press and assembly since the Alien ad Sedition Laws of 1798.” Congress, rushing to adjourn for the election cam-

Should We Blood-Type America Now in Case of A-Bomb Attack?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Is it practical to blood-type 150 million Americans against the day of possible atomic bomb attack or other mass disaster? » The U. 8. Public Health Service believes it risky and many doctors are skeptical, but the Amvets—World War II veterans organization ~—i3 setting out to do it. Amyvet leaders called on President Truman a couple of days ago and gave him the first “dog tag.” Tt bears his name, address and blood type. The first test run on a nation-wide project that may require two years to complete will begin at Allentown, Pa. the week of Dec. 4. Pittsburgh, a week or two later, will be next. Here's the way the project has been set up by the Amvets: By mail from Chicago, residents of a given city will receive small plastic tags bearing their names and addresses and space for designating

‘the blood type. The recipient is told it may save

his life and is urged to go to a local blosdbank for blood-typing. The tag then would be punched to designate the blood type. No charge is made for the tag but the recipient is told that any contribution he cares to make to Amvets, to help carry on the work, will be welcome. {

Voluntary Contributions

AMVETS is seeking co-operation of city officials, newspapers, radio stations and civic

groups in getting people to respond to the tag-

ging campaign. In .some cases local civic groups may help finance actual cost of materials and technical help needed for blood-typing. Amvet officials say that in 36 cities where the American Red Cross has blood banks, blood may be typed without cost or donating a. pint of blood. The Red Cross currently is building supplies for civillan defense and is meeting mili-

The Amvets hopes that in other communities people can go to local government health clinlcs or hospitals for blood-typing without cost or at minimum fees. Or those who wish can go to their own physicians or to private labera-

. tories.

The dog-tagging will cost about five cents per head, and the Amvets has the funds to get it rolling. The hope is that voluntary contributions. will sustain the program nationally. If not, Amvet officers say they hope to get some financial help on the project. Is there any chance voluntary contributions might roll up so fast this could be a big moneymaker for someone? Amvets answer. is that anv surplus will be put into a civil defense fund

. which will be returned to communities in ratio

to the way they respond to the campaign. Harold Keats, Amvets past national commander

UN Welcomes Reds And Raps Nationalists

‘LAKE ‘SUCCESS, Nov. 25—Having dropped a banana peel under the Chinese Nationalists, the United Nations rolled out the

and national administrator of the Amvets service foundation, says the books will be open to public inspection. Mr. Keats acknowledges that. some authorities are skeptical of what Amvets proposes to do, but he says objections and obstacles are being met one by one, and he forecasts sucCess. U. 8. Surgeon General Leonard Scheele, speaking recently before State and Territorial health officers, was plainly cool to mass bloodtyping at this time. Without any reference to Amvets he said the basis for community-wide mass blood-typing was the assumption that large numbers of injured persons immediately would need whole blood transfusions. Actually, he said, plasma and plasma substitutes which require no typing will be the “emergency treatment of choice” in event of disaster. When critically -injured arrive at hospitals for specific care, he said, they can be typed quickly and donors for stored blood crossmatched at the same time. He pointed out that because only those between 18 and 60 are potential donors, the search for type “O” blood the commonest type-—should concentrate in these population groups. “There are many practical and technical difficulties involved in mass blood-typing,” Dr. ‘Scheele said, "—difficulties that may be over-

demand. which mass blood-typing campaign ‘would place on manpower and supplies of typing serum, plus the risk of errors made by

hastily trained personnel should be taken into

account.”

Many Difficulties HE SAID mass blood-typing now undertaken at a calculated risk.”

A Red Cross official said the organization

was not unfriendly to the Amvets effort, dsserted local Red Cross blood banks would be happy to type people who wish to contribute a pint of blood and gave the Amvetg credit for undertaking a big job in good faith and courage. But stress also was laid on the many difficulties in any such program. Mr. Keats says the Amvets is getting cooperation from local communities and is determined to go ahead with the program. . Gen, Alexander A. Vandegrift, former U.. 8S. Marine Corps Commandant, now Amvet Civil Defense Chief, has predicted the country “will bé organized into one vast, walking blood . bank.” He said plasma is considered a’ poor substitute for whole blood and that thi§ bloodgrouping program presents the only means for making large blood supplies available in case of disasters.

Beg Your Pardon By N. E. Davis, City IN THE letter I wrote you last week con-

should be a little more air minded. I wish to apologize to these gentlemen. + Upon further investigation I find they careful and are planning for the future fast as finances will permit. The citizens of this city should give them greater support in their campaign to increase the capacity of the airport. There are 65 flights between 4 a. m. and midnite coming from and leaving for all points of the compass from this city. Air freight, air express, air mail and possengers<is increasing and the control board and the management are faced with quite a problem trying .to expand and pay as they go, due partly to war regulations controlling equipment and supplies. Of course if you shippers and travelers will ship by air and you air travelers will encourage others to do the same, the airport revenue will increase in proportion and then we will have more finance and the Board will Improve our airport.

PRICE SUPPORT .

‘Same Old Refrain’ By W. H. Edwards, Gosport 80 Mr. Schneider agrees with Mr. “Schenk of

the Farm Bureau that rent and price controls '

should not be put in force in times of peace. It seems that we have heard that same refrain before, in 1946 ta be exact. And we also remember how a propaganda of greed finally forced controls off of food, thus ‘turning the “devil’s broth of greed loose on an unprotected people. It was that throwing the gates “wide open to the speculators in human misery and suffering that has brought out the continuing rash of strikes the nation has been cursed with ever since ‘and it was the President's refusal to impose controls over the necessities of life that caused an avalanche of votes to put the Republican Party back in the running. If Mr. Schneider and Mr. Schenk are successful in keeping his satanic majesty’s greedy clutch on the nation’s economic life then it whl see a revulsion of feeling make several important changes in the 1952 Congress. It is the duty of enlightened government to protect its people from the greed and avazice of those who sit in the seats of power.

Auriculiore Fantasy Nears End

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25—Bit by bit, an era in American agriculture, comparable in fantasy to the early New Deal days of “plowing under the little pigs,” is coming to an end.

Withering away now is the World War II-

conceived program which has seen the govern-

“ment Tose hundreds of millions of dollars in buy-

ing perishable farm commodities which either . had to be destroyed or dumped abroad.at an almost total loss. This was done to Hold up the prices of these commodities to farmers. 3 It's not all over yet. And a few remnants probably will continue for some time. But by January the government's price support program for perishables will be only a mere shadow of its former self. Latest program to be axed is egg price supports. After Jan. 1 the government will stop supporting the price of eggs and thus will stop

- accumulating the mountains of dried eggs for

which it can find no outlet.

Gradual Decline AGRICULTURE Secretary Charles Brannan canceled egg price supports because the only alternative was to continue doing just what the Agriculture Department has been doing for the past four years: Buying dried eggs which even foreign countries now don't want on a near give-away basis. Congress has rejected his plan to handle egg price supports by letting farmers sell for whatever they could get on the open market and then paying them the difference by government check.

The decline of the price support system for -

perishables has been gradual. It started last spring when Mr. Brannan,

because of lack of money, dropped price sup-:

ports for- hogs. At that time it looked as if a

continuation of hog price supports would force

the government to buy up to $100 million worth

of fresh pork on which losses would be huge. Things didn’t work out as expected. Hog prices went up instead of down and the government wouldn't have had to buy any pork anyway. But the hog price support program ended as a result of the wrong guess. Then the department dropped price supports

never bought any chickens to maintain prices but it had bought turkeys, as late as last Jan~ uary.

Potatoes Given Frodo

RESULT is that this year, for the first time in several years, U. S. housewives bought their Thanksgiving turkeys at free market prices— prices uninfluenced by government action. In most places they were lower than a year ago. Congress itself knocked out price supports for potatoes. It ordered the Agriculture Deparement not to support potato prices next year unless strict controls on production were imposed. And then it failed to write. another law authorizing these controls, thus insuring that there would be no futher potato price supports after the 1950 crop is harvested. This leaves butter, cheese, milk and honey as the only perishable items which now must be sup-. ported by law. The Secretary of Agriculture has permissive authority to support the prices of pork, eggs, possible that producers may pressure him into reinstituting price support programs or may get Congress to write mandatory price support programs into law. : ' But it seems unlikely, short of a depres sion, that Mr. Brannan would reverse steps already taken. Sentiment against price supports for pers ishables has been growing steadily in Congress.

Did the U. S. Help Chinese Reds?

While the United States is supporting Nationalist China in its demand for a United Nations investigation of Russia's part in the success of Chinese communism, it is suggested here that Congress might undertake a companion investigation of the part played by the United States in the same “situation. _ Both inquiries are essential to tell the whole story, it is pointed out. In supporting the American demand for an investigation of Russia's role in China, John Foster Dulles conceded possiblity that because of “and ~ maladjustments”

But, he said, when such internal distress prevails, it should be an occasion for good neighborliness, wherein all other nations try to help, instead of attempting to impose upon a nation when it gets sick.

Most of the enemy-occupied countries were confronted by the threat of ‘revolution and convulsion’ at the end of the war. But the United States intervened to prevent these developments, first through UNRRA and later through the Marshall Plan. When outside pressure was exerted to encourage revolution and civil war. we even “supplied arms, as in the cases of Greece and rurkey. China was at war longer than any other nation. But we suspended aid to that country when it was needed most.

Case History MR. DULLES has suggested that an investigation of Russia's part in China's civil war might produce a case history which would serve

“to alert the world to a danger to which none

can be indifferent — Communist penetration,

. under Moscow direction.

A case history of another kind has been ins. dicated by the recent statement in Formosa by William C. Foster, the new director of the Economic Co-operation Administration, It suggests what might have been accomplished on a much larger scale in the whole of China. Mr, Foster said in Talpeh that the success of the ECA program in. Formosa presented outstanding proof of the effectiveness and value of international teamwork in practical terms.” Among the solid accomplishments of the program, he remarked that rice production had in-

creased beyond any level ever reached before.
