Mote "Bush-Wah"
Senator Bushfield of South Dakota should have his
head examined. Last night he gave another speech
against the United Nations pact repeating his former
accusations that it:
1. Violates the U. S. Constitution.
2. Violates the Monroe Doctrine.
3. Violates the Pan-American Union, and,
Last, but not least, gives
vote in the "war-making" Council against ten votes of
"foreigners", his implication being the United States
may be dragged into another world war by the votes
of "furriners", etc., etc.
WE can see only two answers to Senator Bushfield :

that is opposed to ANY international peace organiza

By Paul MalloD
Washington, July 11 The end
of the Truman housecleaning of
his inherited Roosevelt cabinet
has not yet
come. Next to
go will be In
terior Secre
tary Harold
L. Ickes. This
departure rests
merely upon a
slight question
of time. Mr.
Ickes does not
fit into the
stan dard the
new president
is creatins at
Paul Mauno
the top of the government the
standard of democratic party ex
perience and political back
ground In congress, highlighting
substrata sub-cabinet back
ground of trustworthy Missouri
friends, and a generally higher
tone of fitness for the particular
joD-at nana.
Mr. Ickes is a mugwump Re
publican. Mr. Truman, while in
congress, was probably the only
man there with whom Mr. Ickes
had. not fought at one time or
another. The president is in no
hurry for the change, yet you
may mark it down in your little
red book, Mr. Ickes definitely
will go.
rjTHER alterations near the
top may come earlier. An im

Jesse Jones, will go into Sny

OIX of the ten Roosevelt cab-

have gone, and one more, Ickes,
will make-it seven. The three re
maining are to continue Indefin
itely. This is highly significant in
one respect.
It means Henry Wallace, the
former vice-president, defeated
by Mr. Truman for renominutiun
to that post, is to continue as
commerce secretary. While Mr.
Wallace's experience on the sub
ject of "commerce" has been
limited largely to publication of
a farm magazine, he is a sort of
general custodian of the left
wing element, and Its observer
at the top table. Wnatever are
the reasons, Mr. Truman does
not intend to let him go.
ine other two holdovers are
War Secretary Stimson anri
Navy Secretary Forrestal, who
obviously are in for the Jap
anese duration. No thought of
supplanting them has been en
tertained, and they may be listed
as exceptions to all Mr. Tin.

Who Is To Blame?
To the editor:
I wish to thank those from
whom I received such nice let
ters referring to my communi
cation on the sugar shortage. Not
only housewives have been af
fected, but thousands of baker
ies and restaurants have shut up
shop, their efforts nullified in
the business of making a living.
Those who do cater to the black
market may keep going for
while until they are found out.
Haven't you heard stories of
our boys, home on furloughs?
The stories run something like
this. "Ma, I m sure glad to be
home. How about having a big
steak and hot.blscuits with gobs
of butter. And a cake with that
big, gooy Icing?" And the ans
wer: "Well, son, I'm sorry, but
you know we are rationed now
and most of our meat, butter and
sugar goes to you boys overseas.
Does this sound funny to the boy
who has probably spent a great
deal of time on K rations? I re
cently had dinner at a home and
the host said, "I'm sorry, but we
don't pass the butter any more,
We are told there is a shortage
of butter, a shortage of beef.
shortage period' At recent
stockmen's meetings, the fact
was stressed that there Is plenty
of beef on the hoof, which will
probably remain so because of
slaughtering regulations and red
tape. Recently, too, our meat
dealers complained that choice

the OPA, with it's belt cinching
program and it's warnings to
"buy only what you need." . If
this butter and meat had really
been sent to boys overseas, we
would gladly eat butterless bread
and hash.
There is a whale of a differ
ence between free co-operation
with a system and coping with
it. Up to now, we have been cop
ing with a complicated system
that leaves bewildered citizens
in its wake. And what are we
going to do about it? I can pret
ty well tell you. We are going
to sit on our dignities and ylpe
and howl and spout off that
someone ought to write to some
body or other in Washington. To
whom, we haven't the slightest
idea.
America is urged to become
the world's bread basket, to feed
the starving countries. It looks
like, with this contradictory man
agement, this formula that says
the left hand mustn't know what
the right hand is doing, we'll
have to say, "Sorry, we don't
pass the butter any more."
