NICE WEATHER FOR ITI

. Woody Herman got a
chuckle out of a letter he re
ceived from his next-door
neighbor's daughter. She
wrote: "Mother makes me eat
so much that I've gained an
awful lot of weight, I weigh
117 pounds stripped, but I'm
not sure that those scales in
front of the drug store are
right or not."

THE AMERICAN WAY!
(New York Sun)
"But what will arouse the
curiosity of those who hesitate
to take what seem to be ex
treme risks In a period of
fluctuating employment Is the
fact that, despite rationing, the
new enterprises in that first
half of 1944 Included 8.400 eat-

13,500 filling stations."

San Francisco, June 26. Almost exactly a year ago
we had our first close-up of President Truman.
He was on the platform of' the Chicago Stadium,
receiving congratulations on his victory over Henry
Wallace for the vice-presidency of the United States.
Yesterday we had our second close-up, and we ran
head-on into one of the miracles of modern democ
racy, and perhaps the fundamental reason for not
only the amazing victory in the present war, but for
the survival and eventual supremacy of free democ
racy in this battered world.
For there and here, ladies and gentlemen, were
two completely different men, as different in
actions, manner, bearing and personality, as the two
scenes were different,
That Chicago Stadium with its heat, dirt, sweat
and whipped-up political enthusiasm, as the camera
bulbs flashed and the successful candidate, flustered,
nervous, even apprehensive, allowed iJoss Kelly to
seize his hand and pull him through the milling crowd
to the platform ' 'mike" and,
Salty, cool, fresh, stimulating San Francisco, the
sun breaking through the cold fog as the President's
caravan crossed the bridge over the white-capped
waters of the Golden Gate, the President standing
straight as a soldier in the open car, holding his cam
paign hat" aloft in one hand, waving a greeting with
the other, as everyone cheered and cheered, and.the
new Commander-in-Chief of all American forces, now
assured, self-confident, triumphant, smiled and
smiled! ! !
A free democracy and the individual development
that democratic responsibility and free play of forces
gives, was responsible for that miracle. j
Repeat that miracle a thousand, a million times
in its innumerable manifestations, a force and a fer
ment constantly going on, only stimulated and extend
ed by a crisis, and you have, HAVEN'T you?
. The chief reason why, TODAY, a leading democ-
racy is the most powerful nation in the world ; and a
leading autocracy the weakest !
Yes, President Truman is a changed man, and the
transformation has taken place in a single year.
It reminds us of, Mrs. McAdoo's remark about her
famous father's dictum that "God knows best."
There was not only disappointment but bitterness
among Roosevelt's strongest followers over the defeat
of former Vice President Wallace at Chicago a year
ago.
But how different, and how much less promising,
would conditions in this country be today, if Henry
Wallace were in the Presidential suite at the Fairmont
instead of Harry Truman !
For the latter unquestionably is the man for the
job at this particular period in our history, the clos
ing days of a terrible war, and facing a most difficult
task of national reconstruction.
I Mr. Henry Wallace, in spite of his fine qualities
of mind and heart, would NOT have been I
And there is reason to believe that Mr. Tinman's
consciousness of that fact is an important item in the
President's surprising exuberance and self-confidence.
, For he is essentially a business man, rather than a
crusader, a trouble-shooter rather than a ' cheer
leader And in all likelihood there is going to be plenty of
trouble to shoot at during the next two or three years,
and the cheering season will soon be over.
.
It was interesting to watch the crowds along the
right of way. There were thousands of them from the
bridge to Montgomery street and back . to. Nob Hill,
and they cheered and waved and smiled, there was
no doubt about the genuine cordiality of the greeting.
But there was no evangelical fervor about it, such
as would have marked a similar triumphal'e'ntree by
President Roosevelt, the sparks did not fly, the emo-.
tional safety-valve did no dancing.
There were cheers of welcome, but no tears of joy,
one felt strongly the good will and liking and confi
dence yes the great respect, of . the . citizenry . of.
San Francisco and environs, toward their new Presi
dent; but when the cavalcade had passed by the
crowds broke up, uncommonly cool and calm, and
immediately back to emotional normalcy, went their
several ways.
Later at the new Memorial Opera House the United
Nations Conference ended its work of two long
months by approving the 10,000-word charter, amid
general rejoicing and enthusiasm.
Lord Halifax presided and, for the first time
seemed vaguely disturbed, not entirely at ease,
couldn't keep his hands still and his words while
well chosen as always, came out hesitatingly, some
thing like a host introducing guests at a banquet, with
something else, say a walk-out in the kitchen, on
his mind 1
The only really stirring note was supplied bv the
veteran Francisco A. Delgado of the Philippines,
rapporteur of Commission I, who in his closing re
marks after submission of the report, paid high tribute
to all the delegates for the wonderful work they had
done and especially the friendly and cooperative
spirit displayed, also to the truly marvelous hospitality
ot the people of ban rancisco, and in conclusion with
his voice firm and loud but tears in his eyes said :
"ispeaking for myself and for all members of the
Philippine delegation we HATE to leave 1"
And one felt he meant it down to the soles of his
shoes.
Yes, regardless of what the product of this confer
ence may prove to be as a historical document de
signed to prevent future wars, there is no question
whatever of the tremendous success of the meeting
from the standpoint of promoting international amity
and rood will, lasting friendships have been made,
better understandings established, closer relations set
up throughout 50 nations of the world. Ihe charter
may work no miracles, but the meeting can t-fail to
do great good ! K.W.K.

AaAl.,,,,,.
Washington, June 28 Twas
said upon the airways and in
print Mr. Truman won his
greatest victory over congress
on the tariff
ed 1 1 i n g pro
gram. It seems
to me someone
should have
smelled some
thing, if not a
mouse, when
15 senate re
publicans vot
ed for the de
mocratic tariff
bill. Unity has
not yet devel
oped in this
world to the heavenly point
that a republican accepts a de
mocratic theory on this issue
where their forefathers fought,
bled and collected.
Men have won the president's
chair (and lost it also) for their
stand on this one question
alone. Nothing, including the
civil war (which was a phase of
the tariff dispute between the
foreign free - trading cotton
growers and the New England
textile manufacturers desirous
of protection) has so deeply torn
the political hearts of Americans
Paul Manna
beautiful bonanza of the bounti
ful postwar world, the one "in-
dispensible leg" of the Roosevelt
postwar program, including also
the Bretton Woods bank and ex
change matter and incidentally,
the San Francisco agreement.
The indispensible leg appar
ently has rheumatic quotas and
noncompetitive arthritis.
...
r0 not ask me to make sense
out of this tariff slashing
thing. ' No one else has. If you
want a personal hint, mine is
that tariffs are archaic and of
little importance at 25 per cent
of their norma! rate or 100 per
cent. The financial state of the
nations of this world makes the
value of their currency and
many other factors (credit, goods
available, etc.) the truly import
ant considerations of trade. The
whole subject is obsolete.
But this, of course, is only my
guess. As far as anyone knows
it was "the greatest victory" Mr.
Truman has won in congress
but certainly also the greatest
one enigmatology has won in
my time.
DUT this time congress, with
republican votes, authorized
a further slashing of 25 per cent
by the president singlehanded
(making 75 per cent in all from
the old high tariff rates) without
advice or consent of congress
or the republican national com
mlttee.
Yet, even republican Senator
Smith of Industrial New Jersey
voted for it, changing his mind
in the last few days from his
previously announced repug
nance to such a threat to Amer
ican industrialist, farmer and
laborer from cheap foreign com
petition.
Indeed, the senate did not
change the bill one whit from
the house version, which caused
revival of all the partisan fight
ing of ages, but it lust said
"Yea," in a loud voice and sent
H on to the president's desk,
where he could victoriously find
it upon his return from San
Francisco.
The hint of these strange do
ings should have been sufficient
warning that something was
wrong, but If anyone reported
it, I have not seen the report.
Any analyst, however, will be
forced to conclude the victory
x.as for enigmatology, more than
for Truman. Just before the
slashing authority passed the
house (and in order to get it
through), Mr. Truman sent a bil
let to his friend, Speaker Sam
Rayburn, saying:
"I have had drawn to my at
tention statements to the effect
that this increased authority
might be used in such a way as
to endanger or " trade out seg
ments of American industry,
American agriculture, or Amer
ican labor." No "such action was
taken under President RooseveH
and Cordell- Hull and no- such
action will take place under my
presidency.
www
THE only .reason, for a tariff
1 rate, of course. Is to protect
some . Amnrlean. Industry, farm
or worker from cheap produc
tion costs coming in competition
from abroad. There are no tar
iffs on noncompetitive products,
n6 feasbrt for any:
If there is to be no "danger
to domestic Interests from tariff
cutting, how can there be any
tariff cutting in fact, why was
the subject ever mentioned, or
the law passed?
To this question no senator I
have found has even a private
answer. The only suggestion
approaching an explanation Is
that Mr. Truman expects to horn
in some way on the German and
Jap trade by some magic yet un
disclosed, and it will have to be
big magic because the Nazi and
Jap cost of production was what
made this trade possible (includ
ing electric light bulbs in our
10-cent stores for halt our cost
of production).
Why would not a republican
vote for a democratic tariff pro
position like that?
Indeed, the administration
went compromlsingly further
and announced firmly that an
escape clause would be adopted
to Its future tariff-cutting
treaties, one like the provision
of the Mexican treaty which says
restrictive quotas on Imports
can be Imposed whenever the
shipping nation gets too much
goods (in our opinion) In any
line of exports, or more than we
can handle.
But we have been told by the
administration, the leftwingers
and even republicans that quotas
are horrible; in fact, were the
cause of the war. And Mr. Tru
man's people have .ivcrtifd ills

ZW-111, a water soluble salt of Dinitro-o-cyclohexylphenol,
has been thoroughly tested
and proven by three years of successful com
mercial use for the control of Rust Mites and
Spider Mites in the Rogue River Valley. Not
only is the initial kill extremely high but due
to its prolonged toxic action the product re
mains effective for several days, thus giving
the opportunity for a thorough and complete
clean up of the pest. While in most cases
one application is sufficient, two applications
. may be found necessary in orchards where
late colonies of spider mites have become
established.
ZXiV-111 can be used as separate spray with
out spreaders, stickers or wetting agents, or
it may be used in combination with lead
arsenate by the addition of Colloidal 2-1
Spreader. Its use will not interfere with or
complicate any coddling moth spray program
if properly timed nor complicate the subse
quent removal of spray residue from the fruit.
ZW-111 applied as directed by your County
Horticulturist or local Dow dealer will give
excellent results in the control of Rust Mites
and Spider Mites.
