Today is Friday the 13th. So
what? Normally, they run three
to the year. This twelvemonth
is allocated but two. Outside of
that millions have had no other
good luck.
a
Japan is now In a diabolical
jackpot, and emitting the same
anguished national wails as Ger
many, a sister bullheaded and
belligerent land squealed a few
weeks before she threw In a
sponge. The same thing that
happened to Berlin is happening
to Tokyo. The government is
wobbly, food is scarce, muni
tions are low, the defense is
arnlrnlntf nnrl thft trnnne are
blue. Everything is hay-wire, j

Official pessimists to the con
trary notwithstanding, Nippon
is kaput, ala Der Reich.

One of the Older Girls balked
at a trip to Crater Lake in a
motorcycle side-car yes. She
stated she would as soon go over
Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Some citizens allege they en
joy the heat. Others think a
more appropriate month for it
would be December as the pears
already have more sugar in
them than the OPA ceiling per
mits. .

The Allies announce only the
minimum of relief food will be
given Germany. The peoples of
conquered lands come first. Re
turning GI's tell of visiting
scores of homes in the Rhine and
Ruhr, and, in all the cellars
were crammed with food and
with holes for rifles and machine-guns
in the stone founda
tions. The Allied ' decision is
timely. It ends any Nazi hope to
wheedle enough with what he
already has, to start a grocery
store chain. .

An air line hostess has discov
ered that permanent curls retain
their permanency if dipped In
beer and allowed to dry. This
is quite a contribution to the
glamour of the gals. Time,
however, can be gained by tak

Bring Them Home!
There is a movement on foot to keep large U. S.
armies in Europe, or,
"Europe fror- Moscow to the English channel will go Com
munist before Christmas."
Well, this department has often commented upon
the likehood of such an outcome. Not before Christ
mas necessarily but eventually.
And perhaps a large American army in Central
Europe would retard sucn a process.
F.vph so. we would not favor keeping a single
American soldier over there tor sucn purpose.

OUR fighting men have done their job, which was
to beat Germany. Not because of German poli

That's all.

It Isn 't True
W1
We wnnrler if those who claim the United Nations
pact violates the Monroe doctrine and the Pan-American
union have ever read the pact or have any idea
of what the two policies mean?
The Monroe doctrine of course is merely a tradi
tion, a practice, it has never been put in writing.
The Pan-American union idea its essence at least
is embodied in the Treaty of Chapultepec drawn up
in Mexico City the first of this year.
" a a e a
THE heart of the first is that the United States has
n -is -kt4 ntil onflrti'o 1 nforoof in the western hemis-
nhere nnH its rlevelnnment and anv challenge to that
priority or right by any foreign power would be con
sidered an unfriendly act.
The essence of the Pan-American union is tnai me
republics of North and South America have a com
mon interest and should work together for the social
material and political betterment of their member
nations individually and collectively.
HEN the Security conference at San Francisco
first assembled, the one great fear on the part
of practically all Latin American countries was that
the formation of this new league might destroy, or
impair the authority, of the Treaty of Chapultepec.
We happen to know that two representatives of
South American countries declared unofficially that
if this should be the result of their deliberations they
would withdraw and their countries would not sign
the charter.
SEVERAL weeks were spent in committee, thresh
ing out and trying to reach a satisfactory solution.
Finally such a solution was reached via the so
called regional agreements. That it was satisfactory
to both the proponents of the League and the mem
bers of the Pan-American union, was amply demons
trated by the fact that unlike many compromises there
were no criticisms or complaints, at least none pub
licly delivered regarding this matter at any time.
. a . . a
THE essential feature of this agreement was the of
1 ficial acknowledgment by the United Nations
that the United States has special interests in the
western hemisphere and so have the nations of Pan
America their own special concerns and in case of
serious trouble or threat of military aggression, noth
ing should impair the right of any nation or nations
to defend themselves, and the new League would
keep hand3 off until the troub should threaten
world peace.
How then can any honest critic of the new pact
maintain that it violates or when put in operation will
violate the Monroe doctrine and the Pan-American
union? '
Where is the evidence to support such a statement?
There is none. For the statement just isn't true..

Favors Universal Trtlnlnfl
To the editor, I read with In
terest your editorial of July 8
on "War Breeds War."
Allow me to make a few re
marks regarding universal serv
ice in army and navy- I cannot
training. Of course the reason
of it was the fear of attack. But
can it be said that we can safely
eliminate any fears of attack in
the future.
I have followed up your very
Interesting and informative arti
cles from San Francisco, and it
is quite apparent that the charter
is no guarantee against future
wars or for a lasting peace. You
yourself admit that.
Because a man learns to be a
boxer or wrestler that Is no sign
that he Is bent on knocking out
or choking anyone to death on
the least provocation. He prob
ably learns these arts for self
protection, and it gives him a
feeling of self-confidence besides
perhaps giving him better health
and muscular development. The
s-ime may be said for a year's
military training.
But many many other things
may be said in favor of such a
short period of training. It de
velopes character, the draftee
gets a broader view of life gen
erally, he mixes with many
others In various stations of life,
He comes out better equipped to
stand the trials and tribulations
of life, and at the same time he
is, or ought.to be, an important
unit in the defense of home and
country.
In Europe it was always con
sidered time' well spent and for
a double purpose; more effective
than so much useless book learn
ing some go through in high
school and colleges.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, July 13 Senator
Taft has been playing Horatius
at the senate bridge, holding
back the Bret-
ton Woods
world f inan
clal agree
ments, but
soon he will
have to swim
for it.
Many objec
tive men with
thorough
knowledge of
the complex
subject t h i nk
he is right, but
know he cannot stand against
the avalanche of propaganda or
ganized shrewdly by the treas
ury to thrust its program
through.
The bankers, for Instance,
marched out openly demanding
rather mild guarantees to safe
guard the $18,000,000,000 bank
and exchange funds from abuses,
and ran into a hurricane from
the treasury wind machines,
which blew their hats and near-

ATTACKS upon "bankers"
swept from a thousand mim
eograph machines, and the im
pression was created that the
only citizens who doubted that
this Keynes-White scheme would
provide a financial heaven on
earth were hiss this, please
"bankers," "reactionaries," and
"torles."
The Hillman C.I.O.-P.A.C. pub
lished an expensive booklet on
this line, and Mrs. Roosevelt
chimed in at the last moment.
The bankers retrieved their
hats, announced the fractional
acceptance of some of their
points by the house committee
would make the scheme accept
able and retired from the fray.
(They need not worry much, for
selfish reasons, as all the bank
does is to guarantee their Inter
national loans and the exchange
fund tends to guarantee them
against loss in handling foreign
exchange.)
.... f ,
THE dwindling crowd behind
Taft does not include many
bankers, - but mostly . economics
and finance professors from the
leading universities (Harvard,
Chicago, California, Columbia,
et al). A class of citizens sup
posed to be above earthly politi
cal considerations when it was
promoting the new deal.
Many of these do not think
it will work. In fact, the most
objective experts I have consult-1
ed believe the basic theory was
promoted by Lord Keynes to re
store the British pound and
world trade, which is a desirable
ambition and necessary goal, but
he and the treasury's White
worked out the program in ac
cordance with spending theories
-free money, loose money, lit
tle interest, unbankable security,
etc., on the principle that a bad
loan is a good thing because it
gives away money to spend.
They really believe this.
a a e
THE world political settlement
at San Francisco gets away
from that same old line in pol
itics, which held "the United
States cannot be prosperous un
less the world is prosperous"
(State Secretary Stettinius).
The final chapter comes closer
to the new and more popular
theory of Adm. King, holding
that the world cannot be pros
perous unless the United States
is kept prosperous (hence we
should look to ourselves first,
others next, watching the debt,
keeping naval bases, not disburs
ing our resources loosely, etc.)
This change of line, represent
ed In the charter, came too late
to have any effect on the Bretton
Woods financial agreements,
made much earlier in the midst
of our war propaganda about us
feeding everyone and saving ev
eryone.
The charter keeps our con
quering armies in position as the
A-l peace priority, lets the navy
(they say) keep its Pacific bases
outside the trusteeship system
and does not give away much.
The air agreement at Chicago,
somewhat like Bretton Woods,
proposes to give away consider
able business to foreign airlines.
It also was made earlier, when
the nation was under the give
away spell, although It contains
restrictions, and Russia refused
to go into it (a separate agree
ment with her now is secretly in
the making, and may be taken
up at the Berlin meeting).
...
OUT Horatius himself with all
- his mythological powers
could not swerve the Bretton
Woods formulas away from their
basic give-lt-away plane today
without being labeled a "fascist"
or something similar.
This is not an observation. It
is a report on majority sentiment
In the senate, where the inclina
tion runs deeply in favor of let
ting the give-it-away boys get
away with this one, largely because-they
believe in it so fan
atically, and will murder a lot
of senatorials characters unless
they do. .
' As for Taft, he will await his
reward in coming years when
the $18,000,000,000 runs dry and
more money is needed, or the
program otherwise disintegrates
through its own looseness. That
time may not be as far off as
you might guess.
