The Bevanites seem to feel that this gives them the right to make certain demands on us, as they do in five specific proposals which they contend should be the base for future British-American relations. ONE: Withdrawals of American recognition from

questions with Red China. (That follows the Moscow-

Peiping line without a quibble.) TWO: Abandonment of plans to rearm Western Ser many or bring Franco Spain into the Atlantic Pact. (That, too, is right down the Kremlin's alley.) » # - . ” ” ; THREE: Peace proposals to Russia, including an invitation to join in a world-wide mutual aid program. (That suggests a bigger Marshall Plan, with Uncle Sam putting up the money, as usual. And the Bevanites want the economic assistance whether Russia joins up or not, being willing to take our money even though they don't like us.) FOUR: Establishment of a “more realistic allocation of raw materials between the United States and its Allies.” (Our Allies have equal access with us to raw materials—if they have the money to buy them. Presumably Mr. Bevan wants us to divide up what we've bought and paid for. Since most of our buying has been from British possessions, this would be a case of Britain selling its cake and then getting it back. And the word “Allies” is not used in its military sense, as the next demand of the Bevan left-wing bloc makes

clear.) 1 FIVE: A “scale down” of the Western arms program 3 = = to release labor and resources for “world mutual aid.”

(“Beale down” as used there means abandon.) Of course, if Russia had any sincere desire to join in world-wide mutual aid program, Western rearmament would ~~ be wholly unnecessary. But even Henry Wallace seems to have given up the notion that Russian aggression could be ; Sought, off by a show of generosity.

But this Bloc exercises a voice in British ‘policy far out of proportion to its numerical strength. Without its support the British Labor government cannot remain in power. When our own government compromises with the viewpoint of that British government, it is very likely to be yielding in fact to the minority Bevan group, which is more sympathetic to the general Russian position than it is to Amerjca's. Our State Department's appeasement policy in Korea undoubtedly had its roots in this situation within the British Labor Party.

Visible Subsidies

IDDEN government subsidy paymeats to mail-carrying airlines are being ended, the Civil Aeronautics Board : has told Congress. Rates the Post Office Department pays such airlines are fixed by the CAB, and for years have been fixed high enough to provide them with subsidies. But CAB policy has been to lump subsidy grants together with actual compensation Ior carrying airmail, making it practically impossibel to discover how much of the payments—now totaling about $130 million a year— represented subsidies and how much rea! airmail costs. One Hoover Commission recommendation for postal reorganization was that airmail and subsidy payments should be clearly separated and that subsidy money should - be openly appropriated by Congress from«tax funds, instead of being concealed in the Post Office deficit. Only so, the commission said, could the President, Congress and the public know the amount of subsidies. n » ~ 5 = » THE CAB is now acting in line with that recommendation. The so-called “big four” airlines-——American, Eastern, Trans-World and United—which carry about 80 per cent of the nation's airmail, have agreed to a large reduction of their rates and to refund some $5 million from payments received in recent months. Apparently, they are giving up most, if not all, of their subsidies. If they or other lines continue to get subsidies, the amounts will be a matter of public record. Savings to the taxpayers are estimated at $6 million a year. 1t all seems to represent a good and long-needed reform. The pity is that it's only one relatively small item in the half of the Hoover Commission's program on which President Truman and Congress have not acted. That neglected half offers larger savings to the taxpayers and for great increases in government efficiency. But neither Mr. Truman nor the present session of Congress seems interested in doing anything much about those opportunities.

REP, WINFIELD K. DENTON, Evansville Democrat, is a member of the House conferees with the Jenner amendment. It is his” office that has received an epidemic of protests from Townsend old-age pension planners from throughout Indiana. : Some state that their “organizers” asked them to protest. Nearly all use that phrase “humiliation lists.” Here is a sample letter from Anderson: “Sen. Jenner has proposed social security appropriation bill amendment, which would make humiliation lists legal, to which I am very much opposed. “We have plenty of laws to take care of chiselers and crooks as Sen. Jenner very well knows. 1 am getting sick and tired of men in high places, playing to the- grandstand when there are more important things to do. “It is not so much that it would hurt these unfortunate people. God knows they suffer enough, but if we permit things like this to happen, 1 suggest they wear the letter 'P’ on their coatsleeve meaning pauper. “You know they .did do that very thing at one time. “No, Sen. Jenner, it looks to me as though your bill is ignorance or dishonesty.”

Calls for Opposition ANOTHER FROM Elkhart reads: “Will you please be kind and human to the unfortunates who are receiving state assistances, by opposing Sén. Jenner's amendment to the social security, bill that would legalize making the names public that were receiving assistance. “From one who hopes I will never have to ask for assistance.” Mr. Denton writes a sympathetic reply to each one, but doesn’t state his own stand on the Jenner amendment. Should the House decept it, the funds for the state will be saved for the fiscal year covered by the appropriation bill. Rep. Charles B, Brownson, Indianapolis Re-

publican, has an amendment pending to the ° basic social security law which would wipe out

the anti-publicity provisions. That would make the Jenner amendment permanent... Sen. Jenner's office reports that many of the Townsendite letters also have been received there. They explain in reply that they are trying to “save the funds for the old folks” and that -is the sole purpose of the Jenner 'amendment. aE ald Mpplies t6 Erants-in- aid tor the blind, handicapped and dependent children, ; Weifare workers have roundly condemned it as writing legislation into an appropriation at could net be passeddon its merits, ‘if

What brings this up is the gentleman's speech before the House saying that if fhe boys’ don't ‘passe the price rollback law and hack the cost of beef, this will become, "- known as the horse-, meat Congress. 1b was a good ‘armwaving speech.™ : “How many of my colleagues consider horsemeat fit-fare for the people who elected and sent them to Congress?” he thundered, Nobody raised his hand. “Let those who favor a diet of horsemeat for their constituents vote to” oppose price rollbacks,” he continued. “Let those who want to be known as horsemeat Congressmen declare themselves. “When the old gray mare becomes the main course on the American dinner table because of the failure of Congress to vote adequate price controls, I can only say that America isn't what it used to be.” And so on. Rep. Rabaut told about reading how some people of Portland, Ore., are buying horsemeat not for their dogs, but for themselves. He even quoted some horsemeat recipes by Miss

Mary Cullen, home economics expert, in one of the Portland newspapers. A Good Meal MISS CULLEN said, in general, that roast

horse 1s inclined to be sweet and that it is wise to use more onions than carrots when cooking it. If it is cooked slowly in wine, she urged, be sure the vintage is a sour one. Horsemeat filets are fine broiled she said, but are lacking in fat and should be spread with butter before going on the fire. I am not urging that my fellow citizens eat horse, because beef costs £1.45 per pound. My bride wouldn't think of serving it We buy fresh frozen horseméat at 23 cents per pound only for Emma, our poodle. We might as well be honest about it. . IT don’t think anybody can tell whether eating horsemeat.

‘How About Landlords’

ANOTHER case of a widow whose only income was from her house. She wanted to convert a three-room apartment from furnished to unfurnished. As soon as she knew the tenants were looking for another place she petitioned. She was told she would have to wait until the apartment was vacant. When her tenants obtained another place she petitioned again, They said the apartment would have to be inspected. So after much delay an inspector came. He found fault with everything and when the landlady said the apartment was insulated and had storm windows he quickly said that it would not take much gas to heat it, meaning of course that it should rent for less. After delays, ponderings, being brought before their lawyer, which caused this woman to lose several weeks rent, they allowed her $35 and furnish utilities. oS THESE cases could be multiplied by the thousands.
