No Handouts for Neutrals

OES the United States have so. much money that it can buy arms for all nations which join with us to regist Soviet aggression and at the same time finance ambitious, “do-good” programs for nations which refuse to stand up to be counted? That is what we are being asked to do. Pending before the Senate for ratification, in addition to the Japanese Peace Treaty, are separate mutual defense pacts with the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. The United States, in all likelihood, would go to the relief of anv or all of these countries in the event of their attack. Qo there should be no objection to our approval of these treaties.. Indeed, this formal notice of our intentions may discourage such attacks. We also are undertaking to defend Japan against attack. until that country is prepared to defend itself. There ‘are sound reasons for accepting this obligation, too. “Japan seems certain to become a strong nation-again,and.afi iendly Japan can do much to restore stability to the Pacific area.

» ” » nN.» ~ BUT THESE separate treaties will tax our resources without strengthening our general position. All of these arrangements involve the assumption of obligations under which. we must expect to contribute much more than we can hope to get in return, at least for years to come. We are now committed to the defense of the Western Hemisphere, Western Europe, and at least six nations in Asia. Meanwhile, we must also rearm ourselves, This is a tremendous undertaking. Yet some people seem to think there is no bottom in the barrel, and that we also can undertake the economic development of countries which are neutral in the cold war, as well as hostile to foreign invest-

ments. : Chester Bowles, our New Deal ambassador to India, and

Premier Nehru of that country have cooked up a five-year development program for, India which will require $1.2 billion in foreign financing—which means Uncle Sam. That means us, you and me. This sum will be requested on a half-loan, half-grant basis. But in the end it probably would be all gift. What nation, outside of Finland, has seriously undertaken to repay an American loan? : : » ~ n PREMIER NEHRU is an avowed Socialist, extremely reluctant to approve investment of private foreign capital in his country—which is the way other countries, including our own, were developed. While he makes some pretense toward neutrality, his public expressions are much less friendly to us than they are to Russia. Moreover, Mr. Bowles declares that there can be no strings to our money, “past, present or future.” What then does Mr. Bowles think he is buying? Why should we shell out money to people like this when we need all we have and more to rearm ourselves and our Allies against the possibility of a war which may involve our

very survival?

Reform for College Football

HERE'S been a lot of discussion, this year, about the state of ‘“over-emphasis”. in college athletics, especially football, and naturally it all got a pretty thorough going over at the Scripps-Howard Coach of the Year dinner in Cincinnati, Thursday evening. A good. many of the coaches, along entirely with the college presidents’ ought to be done.

We don't ourselves. It seems to us the recommenda- -

tions of the committee of college heads so far have not reached anywhere near the root of the problem. “Bowl” games, themselves, are not the cause, nor even of the difficulty. They may add to it, but

any major part, x, “over-emphasis

we believe there could be just as much on football if there never had been a “bowl” game.

THE BEST proposal we've heard so_far is the one from ex-Coach Zuppke of Illinois. He suggests that only ¢ollege seniors be allowed to play in intercollegiate games,

and for that one season only. It has a lot of merit. It would, almost wholly, eliminate

the “recruiting” and the “gubsidizing” of players. It would pretty well guarantee that a member of the team was a student instead of a possibly hired athlete. And it wouldn't hurt the game a bit, Teams of seniors would be just as well-matched, and the games would be just as good to watch as those played now. In fact it probably would encourage more intra-mural faothall, and thus give more students. a chance ‘to play, with the best of them finally making the varsity squad for one season of competition: > : British universities have long followed a somewhat similar and we have never heard of ‘overemphasis’ ‘on their sports, nor of subsidizing either.

Foster's Follies

CHICAGO The Convention of the American Academy of Dermatologists was given several possible clues to the cause of the balding male head.

Every now and again with the best of intentions, The strangest of meetings are called, As scientists gather in research conventions To find out why some men are bald. ’

It learning the reason will serve any purpose, It shouldn't be too hard to

bare. The cause seems to shine pbeacon-clear on the surface It's simply the absence of hair. n o »

OF COURSE, there is nothing new about baldness. It goes back a long way. Sometimes almost to the nape of

the neck. And that's how the whole thing started. Some. of the

late-lamented I.e-nape Indians suffered from acute baldness, Often it cut them deeply. Which was one reason why any Indian in-tent on a sheltered life always had a teepee. Then one day a belligerent brave named Glove-in-the-Face expected a little. trouble,

so he set up dual residence with two teepees. But this topped the head man, and

there was the deuce to pay now worn exclusively by twoheaded people. Anyway, the onists quickly basic idea to dians, gn their all rights-and of their own.

Some of them had rather revolutionary ideas and these lads took the. real powder. Along about 1854, however, the Whigs were disrupted (vou can imagine how silly a disrupted wig looks) and the northern branch. formed the Republican Party. (Not much has been heard from some Republicans in quite a while, either.) Recently there has been some talk of a new Whig Party being formed by a group of male Hollywood stars.

MR. EDITOR: Mayor Alex Clark made a lot of fancy campaign promises like any other politician when he-wasg running for office. And like any other politician he forgof about those promises once he got in office. Said the federal government was taking so much of our money that we will have to wait before we can realize our hopes and dreams. Mavor Alex Clark also promised to go along with the police merit system. From his most recent actions concerning that department it looks like he's going along with everything else but the merit systend. ? One thing 1 would like -to know. When is Alex Clark going to start acting ‘like a real mayor and back up a few of those campaign promises? : Have heard the word that the young fella has got his eye on the governorship of this state some day. If that's the case, he's only got one eye on it. Better open the other and start seeing a few things aboud¢ himself that other people don't especially go for. | —Citizen, City

‘A Bit Naive’ MR. EDITOR: I read with amusement and a bit of consternation a portion of a letter from E. Bowman, 2831 Station St. Mr. Bowman and those like him, who are so proud of their status as independent voters, ara really a bit naive in their thinking. = Our country's very fine foundation grew out of the two party system and the loyalty of individuals to their party’s particular principles. A man should not be regarded as obtuse because he supports party candidates he does not personally know. . The theory and practice are that an individual chooses a parly beeause of agreement with its aims and principles and works within the «organization on local levels. In this manner he is familiar with party members, officials and intents. On the basis of local observations he supports the party's candidates on local, state and national levels. This active participation and interest is more likely to assure choice of good officials and good government, than is the negative approach of the so-called “independent voter.” : Affiliation with one party does not preclude the possibility that an individual might at some time change his party. Events and measures necessary to whatever circumstances could very likely manifest such a change. So it would seem he thinks quite as independently as the so-called “independent.” —J. Ardington, Columbus

‘Theater vs. TV’

MR. EDITOR: Since most everything is@liscussed in. this forum, I would like to discuss my pet peeve, and that is this last increase in admission prices at most of the first-run downtown theaters.

Instead of the theaters devising other means of attracting people into the shows like the sweepstakes games, etc, how about the simple medium of booking better pictures and lowering admission prices.

PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S “cleanup” like an “inside job.” rs

GEN. EISENHOWER refused to comment on the President's tale of his having been a Democratic precinct worker in his youth. He feels old enough to be a Republican now. SEN. BUTLER (R. Md.) has a bill to prevent judges from running for office within five years after they resign. What we need is some way to keep them out of the game while on the bench.

SEN. JENNER (R. Ind.) announced that he will run for the Senate again, rather than seek the governorship, in

order to keep the country safe for Indiana.

The two survivors here are not unmindful of the implications, but they are of the opinion that. Mr. McHale will® not quit his national committee job until he is voted out, When the quick-profit taking [of Mr. McHale and Demoeratic National Chairman Frank E.
