That's grand! It means a major show-down, because this savage attempt to starve the civilian pop ulation of the German capital has become a symbol of the Russian challenge to democracy. If the Bolshevists can get away with that barbarity, then they can get away with anything. However, before we applaud any more let's get it straight in our minds just what that expres sion "forceful measures" means, MA 31 ELECTRIC HAS MOVED TO 643 ADAMS ST.

It presumably does mean economic or political sanctions (or both) which would be calcu lated to put a fierce squeeze on the Muscovites. "Measures of Force" I emphasize this point because rather a lot of talk about "meas ures of force" is being bandied about. In its essence that is war talk. Such talk doesn't win wars, but it can breed 'em. We've al ready seen one sharp reaction in the heavy slump on the stock market. Now mind you, there might come a time when -measures oi force" would have to be used, be the democracies have no Intention of backing down. However, that would be after "forceful meas ures" had failed. There are various ways In which Dowerful sanctions could be ap plied to Russia if she persists in her efforts to force the hands of the Western Allies by the Inhu man expedient of depriving 2, 400,000 defenseless civilians of food and fuel. One of these, as this column has pointed out be fore, would be through action by the United Nations which could apply sanctions after conviction Stoppage of Trade Seen But supposing the U.N. should find it impossible to handle this crisis what then? Well, the Dem ocratic bloc could get together and apply the sanctions outside the U.N. They are the ones who would have to make the sanctions effec i tive anyway, even of the peace I organization ordered them. The Russians and their slave-states certainly wouldn't cut their own throats. Such sanctions might mean not only a severance of diplomatic re lations with Russia and her sat tellites but the stoppage of all trade with the Communist bloc, That would be terrific punish' ment. What is the Red program for Central Europe? Answer: It calls not only for the consolidation of such shaky conquests as CzechO' slovaka, but for the taking over of both Germany and Austria, The battle of Berlin is part and parcel of an effort to oust the Western Allies entirely from the Reich and incorporate it in the Communist empire. With this achieved, Russia would hold an al most, impregnable military posi tion across Central Europe from which to further her world revo lution.

But any casual observer can see that the force is growing rapidly. The green-uniformed troops can be seen drilling In the countryside. Small units move in the streets of Seoul, marching on the double and singing. This organization is known as the Korean constabulary. Nobody can tell it from an army. It has newly-rebuilt American Garand rifles. An, occasional American light machine gun also is seen in the hands of the constabulary. Nobody is saying whether they yet have 'American mortars and artillery. ' The constabulary openly boasts, however, that when the U.S. army clears out of southern Korea, it will Teave its trucks and shooting equipment behind. This is a possi bility, because the United States is pledged to help the young Korean naton get going and that re quires an army. WIGGLE THOSE TOES, GIRLS CHICAGO (U.PJ Dr. , O. N. Woolman, a chiropodist, says women should buy stockings a half-size larger than their foot size to prevent foot trouble. Seven out of ten women wear stockings too small for them, he finds. He said they should be able to wiggle their toes freely.
