WHILE THE FIRE BURNS
As it has done repeatedly since its organization, UN's
security council is, by its inaction, forcing nations in its mem
bership to take independent action (if any is to be taken) on
a question which should be the council's primary concern. Rus
sian obstructionist tactics are at the back of all this, chiefly
because Russia prefers to take independent action and has
been taking it steadily behind a screen of wordy argument,
meaningless debate and accentuation of the negative.
How effective all this has been can be seen in the Palestine
situation although, to be perfectly honest about it,- the mess
in that part of the country is as much the result of the inept
policy making of the American administration as of the genius
for trouble making demonstrated by the brainy lads of the
Kremlin. It was at the insistence of this country that the deal
was put through (Russia agreeing, for there was an unequal
led opportunity for trouble making) for partition of Pal
estine between the Arabs and the Jews. Pronouncement of
the policy fanned ordinary friction between the two Semitic
peoples into white-hot conflagration. Since then UN (odd;
we are constantly on the verge of referring to it as the league
of nations) has done nothing but beseech the flames to burn
less fiercely.
UN has no fire department. It was supposed to have by now,
but it has never quite got around to it.
So we have war again. At the moment it's a long way off
geographically. But it has wonderful potentialities for inter
esting individual nations, especially as UN is both powerless
and unwilling to do anything about it. If the individual nations
become too keenly interested they may presently be taking
part in it. Britain's socialist government, in no way sharing
Winston Churchill's disinclination to preside at the dismem
berment of the empire, has withdrawn from its mandate with
every indication of relief. The United States, which immedi
ately recognized the brand-new Jewish state of Israel, is
watching the struggle between forces of the Arab league and
?ihe small, but exceedingly tough Jewish army. Britain is
j watching, too, but without sign of recogintion. And Russia's
Molotov is also watching and almost certainly pondering on
ways and means of turning the troubles in Asia Minor to the
advantage of the soviet dictatorship.
CROP STATISTICS
From the Boise office of the bureau of reclamation comes a
news release reporting the value of crops raised in "15 federal
reclamation projects In the Pacific northwest.", Surprised at
finding in the list of projects the Deschutes with a net area of
64,963 acres in cultivation we made inquiry and learned that
since the Crane prairie dam had been built by the bureau the
C.O.I, was rated as a federal project.
Such classification seems to us to be stretching things some
what but without arguing the point we are ready to say that
: the figures.it gives are interesting. These are

It would be worth while to have such statistics collected an
nually for all the irrigation districts in the central Oregon
region.
, After a rain, when the sun shines again, the dandelions
come out in abundance. At that time, too, they are most sus
ceptible to the baneful influence of 2,4-d. What the stuff will
do may be seen from the dead dandelions that cover so large
a proportion of city park area. Householders who have not
already started their weed campaigns will find this just the
time to begin.

the fat and the skinny- of the
congress go paddle-footing it out
of committee rooms and corri
dors to answer "present." Then
they skcedaddle back to where
they were In the first place.
For instance, Wednesday: The
house wrs called to order at the
bewitching hour of 10 a.m. to con
tinue the debate on the Mundt
Nixon bill, which would lasso the
commurlrts.
The biu.zor buzzed about 9:45.
The boys came running Into the
gallery t '.routing "here" anil ran
out again.
Without meaning to give any
thing away, maybe, Cong. Her
man P. Eberharter of Pennsyl
vania explained it.
He said he thought it wis a
little silly to spend three preel his
duys of the fuding season Just
burning the ears of the reds.
- "Everybody knows," said he,
"that this rebate business sel
dom, if ever, influences the final
vote."
His audience aid small heed.
Congressmen like to hear them
selves talk, he said. They like to
get their stuff in the record in
case some vo(er gets snoopy ami
looks it up to tua if his servai.t
is serving.
Mr. Eberharter bowed to the
hand of the dock as his time was
up.
His remarks had no effect. The
debate went on. Loud and bitter
and long. The communists were
catching it from all corners.
Those who were against the
Mundt bill made it clear they
were against Joe Stalin. The
measure, they argued, goes too
far.
Rep. Emanuel Cellar of New
York said he thought the penal
ties for tipping too far to the left
are too strong.
Why, he boomed, It says there
that you could be sentenced to 10
years and fined $10,000 for every
day you refused to own up that
you looked to Moscow for guid
ance. "That could send a man to Jail
for 100 or 200 years or more,"
he said. "And fine him a couple
or 10 million dollars."
Cong. John Rankin of Tupelo,

up to bat next. John is a two

(NBA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) The real
reason why the U.S. ambassador
to Moscow, Lleut.-Gen. Walter
Bedell Smith, was sent to see
Foreign minister V. M. Molotov
at this particular time had noth
ing to do with world politics. It
had to do with goin flshin'.
For two months, Ambassador
Smith has been wanting to go
fishing. He had been cooped up
in Miornu; nTl winter, and he had
a vacation coming. He wanted to
spend it wltn a lew ciose per
sonal friends not diplomats
angling the streams of Norman
dy,' .. .
In Washington, secretary mar
shall had a chore he wanted
Smith tn nerform In Moscow.
He wanted Smith to go see Molo
tov and straignien out a iew
wrong ideas the communists
tn hfivp ahnut American
politics and American foreign
policy. ,
Marshall's problem was wheth-
n. tn hava Amhncsnrlnr Smith do
this Job before he went fishing
or after. Marshall finally decided
that, if smith naa poor iuck on
hi.. ftcVifnn ttin It mlo-ht snnil tha
negotiations. So the ambassador
was told to go call on Molotov
betore he went iismng.
Thus ara tha crpar rlpdslnnp.
of diplomacy made.
The Smith-Molotov conferenc
es were handled strictly accord
ing to protocol rules. Smith first -had
to notify the soviet foreign
office that he wanted to come
and talk to Molotov. Smith also
had to tell in advance exactly
what he wanted to talk about.
That gave Molotov a chance to
decide whether he would see
Smith. It also gave Molotov a
chance to study up and see what
he would say in reply. After that
was figured out. Smith was told
he could .call. ...
He came and . delivered his
piece, bj word of mouth. Molotov
then replied, orally. Smith then
made- his reply to that, orally.
But afterwards the two diplo
mats sent each other written
memoranda, outlining what each
had said to the other.
All this monkey business is ac
cepted practice. In negotiations of
this kind, it is customary for
the exchange of views to be kept
secret, unless both parties agree
to publication. There was no men
tion of making their remarks
public in this case.
Having done what he was told
to do, Ambassador Smith was
ready to leave Moscow for his
fishing trip. And right there is
where Molotov pulled a double
cross. Without asking Smith's
permission, Molotov gave out
through the Moscow press and
radio the text of Smith's original
remarks and Molotov's reply,
a a
This was given to the world at
a time when all the American of
ficials were at home in bed. They
had to be routed out at midnight
to set the record straight and to
bring out the fact that Molotov

had twisted Smith's statement
around to give the Impression
that Its principal purpose was to
ask for a conference to talk
things over.
This was actually a minor point
in Smith's presentation. It was
merely a repetition of what Pres
ident Truman had said In his
speech of last March 17: "The
door has never been closed, nor
will it ever be closed, to the sov
iet union or to any other nation
which genuinely cooperates in
preserving the peace." It was
nothing new. But the Russians
made it seem new and world
shaking. U.S. diplomacy was caught flat
footed by this propaganda trick.
President Truman had to issue a
new statement next morning and
the state department had to give
out that part of Smith's remarks
which Molotov had not chosen to
make public.
But, as In all these things, de
nials and corrections never
catch up with the original mis
take. The Russians scooped the
world and gave everyone the
wrong impression by diplomatic
trickery. This is one of the risks
that has to be taken in dealing
with the communists, and by now
this kind of behavior is expected.
The Important question is how
much damage this may have done
to the cause of peace. Secretary
Marshall admits, that, in the long
run, It may have helped It.
