PusiistitMstiiTioi Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry "In the midst of plenty we were partaking of temi-occa-ional hamburger . ..." a met ropolitan daily note in an edi torial discussing the alleged beef shortage. Saying, the occasional semi-hamburger, would hive been more like it, for nothing on the menus or in the butcher hops was so maltreated by the use of soy beans, the ever handy food stretcher, as hamburgers. e e During the recent peace cele bration riots, throughout the land, liquor stores were the fa vorite targets for Joyous bur glaries.

Bagley Is In town, but will leave by the next steamer, The Vigilance Committee art .after him, however, and should he fall into their hands, he will leave by a more expe ditious route than the sea." . Most everybody seems to be home from the European theater but Gens. Eisenhower and Pat ton, the Occupation troops and H. Flewhcr, the demon baker. who is either locked up in the theater or has stopped en route ' to take something apart with his trusty screwdriver. a e a There Is talk about changing the name of "Boulder Dam" back to "Hoover Dam."

Only once in the course of the war were we criticised for failure to observe the regulations. We had mentioned the fact that of ficer's chests were being mad at the local furniture factory. Imagine how that aided the enemy," Clostnl time tot Claeetfled Ada t-M . m loo Lata te CUeeiiy Hat p. m. Why Keep Up the Farce? Why can't professional politicians behave like human beings? We refer particularly to national chairmen and their like. Take Herbert Brownell, Jr., the Republican Nation al chairman, for example. He is an intelligent, edu cated man. And yet he returns to Washington, D. C, after an extended trip around the country and solemnly proclaims: The G.O.P. will win the congressional elections next year because: 1. The Truman administration has muffed the reconver sion problem 3. The people have awakened to the dangers of continued political control by one party. S. The effort by Democrats to capitalize for party benefit the patriotism of the people. ' 4. Popular skepticism as to economy promises made by the Truman administration. Could ANYthing be sillier? THE Republicans may win the 1936 election. They 1 won handsomely after the first World War, the Spanish War and the Civil War. But, surely not for anv of the reasons cited. t 0 (1) LJOW could .the Truman administration, for example, have muffed reconversion when reconversion has hardly started? You can't muff a ball before it is hit! (2) The people, at least many of them, awoke to the dangers of one-man and one-party control long ago, but with the death of President Roosevelt how could that awakeninc have any real potency as a poli tical factor this NEXT year? (3) In the election of 1944 the Roosevelt adminis tration did make an effort to capitalize on the war for political purposes and the effort succeeded but with the war over how can that be used EFFEC TIVELY again? (4) This department holds no brief for President Truman. But, as before stated, we believe that up-to-date, he has done surprisingly well. More than that, we believe the people of the coun try as a whole, regardless of party, feel that way about it. And certainly thev will not bp shaken in that belief by any such mumbo-jumbo as Mr. Brownell perpetrates. The only tWnsr that will be shaken will be their confidence in Republican National Chairman Brow nell, if any and his party! fXTE are not picking on Mr. Brownell, however. He is saying what national chairmen of political parties in this country usually say, be they Republi can. Democrat or What-Have-You i But, we are picking on the silly, childish practice of the chairman-breed, who for more years than need be mentioned have talked this sort of nonsense before every election and during it as well, maintaining all that is perfect is in their narty, all that is evil is in the other, and that the candidate of their party, who ever he may be just CAN'T lose. No one believes such rot. not even the chairmen themselves. Certainly this sort of hocos pocus can't make votes. It is all too absurd. Then why, when the main busi ness of thpse partv officials is to get votes should they persist in it? R.W.R. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon One More Down if t Paul Halloo Washington, Aug. 24 Shen nanlgaus are starting for the dis pensing of credit-and-loan bil lions abroad to mmivjjw replace lend- lease. Mr. Tru man announc ed the good news about the let-down in lend lease spending, and Mr. Crow ley simultaneously took credit for the news that Britain, Russia, France, China and the rest of the world were coming in with their hands out to him now. Every news reader is naturally asking himself the question what kind of a bargain did we get, or are we going to get. It should be a good bargain because the rest of the world is politically non-cooperative with us in certain glaring examples of foreign policies, but must have our financial help, The answer is nowhere appar ent yet, in front of or behind the news, but some doubtful aspects 1 are discernible to those in the ; financial knowhow. i r i (Acme Telephoto) Russia, has announced the capture of Emperor Kang Teh, above, Ja pan's puppet ruler of Manchuria. The one-time "Boy Emperor," for merly known as Henry Pu Yi, Is be ing held as an "Internee" according to Marshal Alexander M. Vasllevsky, Soviet Far Eastern commander. recognized everywhere. I would not know what the picture of Dorian Gray stands for, but I know no one would make him a loan. Nothing New As remarked at the time the atomic bomb was an nounced, few people yet realize the vital, world-shaking significance of that event. les, the date of its discovery, August 5, 194o, will. in all likelihood, go down in human history along with 1215. 1492, 1776, a date for. the school boys to re member, as marking the end of one great epoch and the start of another. For this date will either mark the end of war, or the end of the world, at least the terrestial world, and one need hardly add such a date will not soon be forgotten. VET, we find some military men still talking about t!mrno t i i c..t. i uin rJioii uuiiiitiy u aiiiinv; ; chicii training is completely meaningless unless another war is ex nected. And if there ever should bp another war, laro-e amnios would be of no more value than large buildings. On the contrary, both would be serious liabilities. l et. that is typical of the genus homo and especially the warrior type. Tt was 300 years after discovery of gunpowder, be fore certain Anglo-Saxon fighting men decided the cross-bow was really out of date ! R.W.R. f A New World TAKE Britain first, the biggest and most-easily-seen case. An American letter to business men. purporting to carry the official British viewpoint (although it does not always say so) justifies large loans to London on the ground that the proposed social ism for the British mines and transport (their purchase by the government) is to be financed by self-liquidating bonds so we naturally can have no interest in them. That is the kind of propaganda to appeal to the American busi ness mind self-liquidating loans are sound. They pay themselves off from profits. So, concluded the propaganda letter, there could not possibly be objection to them in the United States. The propaganda neglects to reveal to our people the one salient fact which would knock the whole appeal into a double cocked homburg, namely that British socialism contemplates also taking over the Bank of England, which, of course Is the most important consideration in her future credit standing. Any American business man who thinks of that fact (he will have to think of it by himself because the propagandists will not tell him) will immediately say to himself: "Why, if the socialists are to abolish the standards of credit of capitalism In their best, and perhaps change it from day to day, or run it in any direction they want, I would not make them a loan, I would .nake them give me some unchangeable as surance of financial good faith before I would even consider it." e . e e DUT they want more debt from us and want to increase their internal debt untold billions more for socialism and make their people pay the interest. That sounds like a onesided proposition. To put it in its sim plest terms: Britain wants to pull her out of the red and yet have her way, exclusive of our interests in any particular. (Her government told parliament it would be awful for us to Inter fere with her wishes In any way.) This same proposition is be ing sold to the public In an equally clever political way. The news account of the Crow ley press conference (quite plain-, ly presenting of f-t he-record ma- terlal) said a $3,000,000,000 loan to Britain whs being discussed Flight o' Time Mediord and Jackson Co.
