KEEMLE (United Press Staff Correspondent) Events of a single day illustrate the confusion which has arisen in post-war politics and the urgent need for an international organization to begin functioning without further delay. Europe is a mass of shifting, homeless populations, facing a winter of famine, cold and disease. Much of the Far East is in a turmoil of unrest and fighting. exchange of reproaches and seem important Issue. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS SHOW UNITY LACK In this atmosphere, some of hours were: 1. Russia's foreign policy was criticized by both government and opposition spokesmen In the British parliament.' Ernest Bevin, foreign -secretary- of the labor-socialist government, said Russia's desire to-"cut across the throat" of the British empire In the Mediterranean Is "suspicious." Winston Churchill, leader of the opposition, opposed letting Russia bomb. Both expressed an earnest sia, but emphasized the unity of British and united states foreign policy. 2. While these protestations of Anglo-American unity were being made, It was disclosed that have so far been unable to reconcile their economic rivalry. Al though strong hope for an eventual ington, Secretary of State James pect of an immediate agreement world trade policy. - 3. Defeated Italy put In a bid to retain part of her colonial empire, including Tripolltania in North Africa, which might have bearing on Russia's supposed aspirations In the Mediterranean. 4. 'The United States advanced Its own plan for modifying Turkey's control of the Black Sea straits a subject in which Rus sia has a paramount interest and regarding which she has indivi dual ideas. By Big Three agreement Britain and Russia are also expected to send proposals direct to Turkey. S. The British government again refused to consider debate on the Palestine issue, which has the Near East In ferment. 9. The United States apparently recognized its equivocal position in, the Chinese "civil war" and disclosed that it is prepar ing the early withdrawal of Its troops from North China. Secre tary Byrnes said the State department had not been consulted by the, War department when the troops were sent there, or. when Chungking forces were moved northward In American warships. 7. The Indonesian Nationalists, who are In revolt against Dutch rule In the Netherlands East Indies, Issued a manifesto re jecting Dutch sovereignty and demanding Independence. MANY PROBLEMS CONFRONTING POWERS The above problems are only some of the many confronting the powers In their efforts to build a new world system and'elinr inate the possibility of war. Individual negotiations between powers or small groups of powers so far have failed dismally. ing - of popular confidence in the United Nations Organization, which aroused such high hopes at San Francisco. . An alternative would be to get the general machinery func tioning before the world divides into armed camps again. If the present spirited debate and frank expression of views among the big powers serves any purpose, it will be to emphasize the need for prompt action. If it does that, there is hope. l,,MIMII,ll,l,lHII,l,IMMI,M,ll,l,lll,l,l,ll,l,lMltHtMIIMIIIIIIIM On The Side-By e. v.

The lads are often very compli mentary as to their mother a appearance. Many also refer to their mothers as "my sweet heart." ;A1 this is very pleasing to mama. On the other hand daughters are often very criti cal of their mothers. They in cline to the view that mama Is old fashioned" and often tell her so. Not only, that they find fault with the way the house is furnished, how the meals are served and so on. No wonder a mother Is relieved and pleased when her son rushes In aiid throws his arms around her, kisses her and says: "Mom. you're Just swell." Then the sons are likely to be very complimen tary as to their mothers cook ing, revealing same in both words and actions, Shaving Discussing the matter of get ting a good shnve, a Brooklyn- lte says a man should rub cold cream on his face before retir ing. This plus hot water the next morning will give a lather that will provide an excellent shave. Must be quite a chummy domes tic scene In this subscriber's home when both his wife and self start rubbing on the cold cream before retiring. Horses and Women It Is difficult to ascertain where red-headed women ac quired the reputation of being hot-tempered, as most are not Most hot-tempered are the black haired and brunette females. Brownettcs are second in this respect. Blondes, third and red heads fourth. An angry blende or red-head Is usually not dangerous. The thing to do Is to let her blow off steam. But a man has to keep a close watch on an angry brownette or bru nette. They throw things or start slapping faces. When wild with Jealousy they even start shoot ing. It is said that in a love triangle a Jealous brunette shoots the other woman while a blonde shoots herself. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Have you the "Chorus of Women" In your Horses and Women tiles? A. Naturally. Our H & W files would be Incomplete witl-out that.

Shortly after his enlistment In the army In 1041 he wrote the best seller "See Here, Private Hargrove." The humor furnished by soldier authors In World War two was better than that of World War one. But the poetry of the first war was better. This appears to reveal the soldiers of the last war were more realistic. Those of World War one were more on the sentimental side. Many figured war as a glorious ad venture. Fighting men In the last war saw In it some bloody business that had to be done. To ease their minds they called upon their sense of humor. . . .

Citizens have to exchange their old money for the new currency, as on a stated date the former will be worthless. This situation has the Netherlands black mar ket racketeers in a terrible state oi mind, w hen a man appears the bank with a huge sum of currency to be exchanged he Is questioned as to where he got it. And must be very specific when answering. Incidentally, there appears to be much oh.ck market money now being in loaded In New York City. Those in possession of this ill-gotten currency make huge rash pur chases. For example. It Is not unusual for mink coats worth $7,000 to be paid for in cash.

But the same tensloned po litical spirit can be detected be hind all other Ills the Chinese communist uprisings, the plan ned soviet elections in Europe, the Argentine crisis, what not. I promised to try to demon strate by objective analysis the same .root causes of our own troubles domestically namely mat we are being high-pressured into political economics, into de cisions for political effect rather than what is economically right and necessary. e e e MR.

At a time when the president is worried about in flation an inflation caused by the shortage nf irnnris whilo mvL pie have more money to spend than goods to buy he wants to increase the wages before he produces the goods. Essentially. I suDnnse. hie Is the Roosevelt SDenrMnc thpnrv of the depression era, applied nOW to an inflation tvhfn nrlae are already too high and the people nave money. I call It C. I. O. economy be cause the thenrv Is har-lteH in. day mainly because of C. I. 6. economists. e e THIS political angle is the' 1 only Justification .which seems understandable. The doc trine, therefore, must be called political economics economics designed for political effect in opposition to genuine economics for economic effort. This wos a basic difficulty, furthermore, behind the Tru man wage-price announcement of policy to business and the ensuing labor-management con ference of the past few days. Republican Senator Taft, who is an honorable man, said the speech showed Mr. Truman had gone over to C. I. O. That makes it sound permanent, yet certain ly it puts the basis of union in creases upon the plane of men getting as much for 40 hours of production as they did for 48 and 54 hours. The labor-management Issue of the day was, therefore, ne cessarily drawn to that plane of endless haggling, and agree ment was hard to find if it does not prove impossible in the last analysis. e e e llIR. TRUMAN Is said once to " have wanted privately 20 per cent increase for unions also, and his espousal of that figure for the government employes has been interpreted as a po litical move to further political economics. Everybody today knows we are in a universal crisis. The question whether our nation will survive is a real one. A government could play politics with economics In the Roosevelt day and get away with It (although It never did the economic Job even then; it never cured anything). Today In an inflationary situ ation up to our necks and a debt to reach $300,000,000,000 we are not merely playing with fire, but with a conflagration. e e " "JETTING down to root causes then, then why are political economics absorbing most of our reading and radio-hearing? You can see the answer be hind the New York and Detroit elections Wednesday. In Detroit, C. I. O. had Its own candidate for mayor, and in New York Tammany had the backing of the American labor party, which is a communist offihate of C.I.O. I am not now handling those subjects, but proving great po litical power has been massed behind political economics. Domestically then, the trouble Is the same as with the world too much politics. We are trying to cure economic crises with purely political balm.

To the Editor: As the showdown on perma nent peacetime conscription ap proaches, I would like to submit the following points made by one of the outstanding disciples of the wonders of military train ing of our time and all time: "There we . . . stand for com pulsory military service for every man. If a state is not worth that, then away with it! Then you must not complain if you are enslaved. But if you believe that you must be free, then you must learn . to recog nize that no one gives you free dom save only your own sword. "It is nonsense to believe that with the end of school time the state's- right for supervision of its young citizens could sudden ly stop. This right is a, duty. "The state that has no -inter est in healthy people has ne glected this duty in a criminal manner. It lets the : present young generation degenerate in the streets and in brothels, in stead of taking them by the leash and training them physi cally until one day a healthy man and a ' healthy woman have grown out of this. "It is clear to anyone who even stops to think that in case of a coming war the entire nation would have to take up arms! that therefore millions would be driven toward the enemy with bad, Insufficient, a half-finished training. One must, nevertheless, not forget that the shortage of trained soldiers could easily lead, at the begin ning of a war, to losing that war. 'The army educates them only to be reliable, decent members of the . community, men who in the hour of need and danger will feel themselves united in loyalty with the nation ;and should fate con front them with the sternest or deal, will defend the freedom of their people with bravery and honor." Should we not remind our congressmen of, these argu ments? 'And urge them NOT to adopt peacetime militarism for the above advice was given by none other than ADOLF HITLER. . Ethel M. Boese. Divorce Causa Told To the editor: I would very definitely appreciate a correction in your paper concerning a Los Angeles United Press article in your paper of Nov. 1, 1943, on my divorce from Shirley L.
