Editorial Correspondence
Boston, Mass., Nov. 27 If there are any apples In the valley
we suggest few car loads be sent to Boston. The fruit dealer at
the corner of Commonwealth and Massachusetts says he could sell
a car-load a week but he can only get a few boxes, he prefers
Yellow New towns or Delicious. With apples selling at a dime each
there should be money In it.
Out to Wellesley, which we haven't visited since around the
turn of the century. Nothing looked familiar except the old stone
B. and A. station, the stone City hall up the hill nearby where the
Banjo club once gave a concert, and the lake.
We searched in vain for the old-fashioned red brick building
on the hill where we used to wait with great expectation for a
sweet young lady with blue eyes, pink cheeks and molasses-candy
hair, she also rowed bow-oar on the crew but not because of her
muscle.
Ah, them were the days! Had we known then she was fated
to marry a doctor and have twins, and later 11 grandchildren, we
would have been completely crushed and probably jumped Into
the lake with a flat-Iron on either foot. But not knowing it we
had very pleasant time.
And then there was the Wellesley Inn, or the College Inn,
but we couldn't find that either. Instead, one huge Tudor chateau
after another, the most magnificent series of elegant fireproof dor
mitories and halls and labratories and libraries and gyms and boat
houses and what have you, we have' ever seen. We can say this,
whatever Wellesley college may be scholastically or from the
standpoint of "style," it has the
of any college for women In America. It holds the same place
Princeton does In the same category for men.
e a e
We saw many of the girls, again mostly sweaters and short
sport skirts, bare legs and bobby socks; healthy husky gals, most
of them riding bicycles with wire book-baskets on the handle bars.
And we should say having a wonderful time.
, "Ah, to be young, beautiful sweet sixteen,
With nothing to do but nourish the bean!"
We were overtaken by one group coming pell mell out of class
and couldn't help but overhear the following choice bit of conversation:
"But Thanksgiving dates are poison, never going on another
one, you know he was such a nice man, really was, and now
imagine, he is married and has a year-old babyl And las) year,"
The rest was lost in scuffling feet and laughter as the girls
went piling down the hill.
What has Boston got no other large American city has? We
have decided It Is age. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, New
Orleans, even Philadelphia and Washington would Impress a visi
tor from Mars as essentially young, progressive, up and coming
growing American communities. But Boston NEVER. When one
pan buy a knlck knack at Woolworth's and then cross the street
and eat lunch on Paul Revere's grave If you have been smart
enough to bring lunch with youl there Is no doubt the com
munity you are in has grown up!
This General Motors strike Is
and If that meeting In Washington
is still on and we believe It Is,
receive the gathering's serious attention.
For here Is a vital Issue which
capitalistic system In this country is to endure.
The issuo is not essentially one of wages but one of manage
ment. Who are to manage a large Industry like General Motors,
the men who OWN It, or the men who WORK for it?
That is the milk in this cocoanut as we get it from the news
paper reports.
The automobile unions claim they have a right to look over
the books of General Motors and decide whether the corporation
can afford to give a 30 per cent raise in wages or not, and a raise
without Increasing the price of their cars.
The G. M. management maintains that Isn't the business of
labor, organized or unorganized, that that Is their own busi
ness, and must be exclusively their own decision. It is labor's
Job, they Insist, to work for what management decides manage
mont can afford to pay and If labor doesn't like it, labor can quit,
dui tney can t snoop around the corporation s books.
e a e e
Twenty years ago, this G. M. contention would not have been
questioned for a moment. But today it is, in the future will be
even more, and there can be no doubt of this: there Is a direct and
Important relation In any industry between wages and profits.
On the other hand It is not the right or function of labor to take a
hand In business management, unless this country wishes to follow
the Russian example and go over to the dictatorship of the prole
tariat entirely. We would like to see President Truman's com
mittee take up the problem. Sooner or later it must be solved if
there Is to be any labor-capital pcace.r-R.W.R.

News Behind

Washington, Dee. 3 World

fies Patrick Hurley, fresh from
China. We are
drifting to
ward war
with Russia
with certainty
and speed, as
serts democra
tic Senator
John son, of
Colorado.

fauj Maiinn
utterances of
general opinion.
Yet in China the issue Is mov
ing toward stabilization.
Through the strained honey
bunk of political arguments,
events are penetrating inevit
ably. The Chinese army has
our modern equipment and
training.
The communists had only the
arms they were able to steal or
capture from the Japs. The
course of nature, therefore, re
quired the communists to fight
and lose, or retire to the north
ern hills. They are doing both.
a a
THE United States army has
rrrxiAnA tronrnni-lQlinn In
the Chinese to extend their re
occupation of their country.
This is natural, as the establish
ed government of south China
(Chiang Kai-shek and the kuo
mlntang) was our war ally and
member of the Big Five of the
United Nations.
No government anywhere re
cognizes the communist govern
ment of the northern provinces.
They got no lend lease. Russia
could not furnish the commun
ists arms except by treacherous
violation of the UNO agree
ments. . Salin thus has let the
latest China affair work toward
its natural destiny, and so have
we.
The bulk of China thus seems
likely to be stabilized soon, but
its communist problem may not
be solved. The communists
back in their mountain lair will
never be a threat to an equipped
China, unless they get Russian
arms, nnd Russia cannot fur
nish these under its world
treaties. But a solution of their
status will remain.
a a a
"PHIS example of the progress
of affairs is typical of the
condition elsewhere in the
world. In Europe, the political
conflicts raised by communism
are marching event by event to
ward stabilization though not
solution.
The Austrian election settled
(he question there, excluding
Ihe communists. The French
elections finally caused the
communists to congeal with
their worst enemies, the social
ists or threaten to do so. To
date, communism seems work
ing toward a lower level of
power In France. Elsewhere,
the world is settling down one
way or another, sometimes fit
fully, toward a new status quo.
My private diplomatic infor
mation suggests that as soon as
it does settle down, renewed
Russian co-operation is in pros
pect. a a e
"yilE enigmatic policy of the
Soviets has been authorita
tively pictured to me as a diplo
matic game to hold the UNO
world peace agreements in
abeyance until Stalin could
find out how much he could get
otherwise; how much territory
and power he could accumulate
around the world, hefore enter
ing upon the San Francisco deal
to maintain thereafter a perma
nent world status quo. It is
pressure politics he Is playing,
not a war game, our best-Informed
people think.
If they are wrong In their
current waiting game (which
seems working well enough so
far It must be said respect for
Russian warpower Is not high
anywhere on this continent.
Russia did not have much
power in this past war except
endless manpower. Her weap
ons were not superior. She has
no air force today, comparable
to Britain, much less to ours.
She has no fleet. She cannot
threaten the world by either
sea or air.
Her vast land armies could
over run Europe and Asia, only
if and after the United States
demobilizes. Until we destroy
our armed superiority, dis
mantle our planes and ships,
war is unthinkable for the
Russians.
Eager as our soldiers are to
get home. I often wonder if our
demobiliration policy is justi
fiable by the condition of the
world as it is. While mothers.
fathers, sons, husbands are pro
testing the slowness of their
return to peace, the obvious
world situation rather suggests

the nation may be moving fast
er than prudence warrants.
In any event, war with Rus
sia can come only through at
toV hv hr Thie nation lacks
; the spirit of aggression. While
some people may think, if they
do not say, that now is tne time
to end the Russian threat to
world peace, this nation has no
heart for such tactics.
a a e
WHAT we want Is peace with

not know how to get it. Ap
peasement failed, ay we
brought Russia out of Isolation
nn in hamposine in the UNO.
but we have not been able to
get her to drink. She was then
walking away with everything
loose In the world.
Now, our insistence upon
reason and diplomatic defense
of the Atlantic charter free
dom has hrnneht a diolomatic
impasse beneath which events
are turning more our way. We
did not fall for the communist
propaganda In China, urging
and trying to, frighten us away
from our duty to the establish
ed government, our ally.
Winter is before us; winter
with its long evening and so
the period when most of us do
our more intensive reading.
Books chosen for summer idl
ing are mostly of the purely en
tertaining type; read today and
forgotten tomorrow. However
one summer-read book which a
friend recommended I will not
soon forget; Tschiffely's Ride.
The author, an English school
teacher employed for a time in
Buenos Aires, made the 10.000
mile trip from there to New
York on horseback. A travel
tale, yet the most outstanding
thing about the book to me, was
the author's love for his horses,
Mancha and Gato. The com
panionship between the man
and his game little ponies Is the
bright thread on which are
strung the fascinating events of
that most unusual trip.
After meeting a friend of the
author of Stump Farm, Mrs.
Rose, I just had to read that
book. It is a book of warm real
ity and I shared the Rose strug
gles day by day as I read, their
life for the time being becoming
my own.
On a misguided day I picked
up and read Strawberry Acres
by Grace Richmond. Sacchrine
and pointless, it Is a wonder to
me how the author of so many
worthwhile stories ever allowed
such trlvel to flow from her
pen. In the catalog of my mind,
I tucked Strawberry Acres be
side the Elsie books.
A companionable soul, I real
ly do like to run with the herd.
Sometimes this trait leads me
Into errors, literary as well as
otherwise. So once on another
misguided day I read Anthony
Adverse; read It to its last ver
bose sentence. There were many
fine character portrayals in the
book and a really abundant
crop of unusual phraslngs. But
I am not a repressed old maid;
nor a developing adolescent. So
the book's biological details in
sulted my powers of observa
tion and experience. I have an
imagination which likes a little?
leeway but the minutely de
scriptive Anthony Adverse
never gave it a break.
Read the chapter on Economy
in Thoreau's Walden Pond and
you will carry most of your fur
niture to the attic. At least that
is what I did. Of course two
weeks later, you will carry it all
down again; I did.

the result of redeployment has
been the prime reason for at
least eight major crashes Involv
ing the loss of 38 lives and
$1,100,000 worth of equipment
on American military transport
lines in Europe during the past
month, a United Press survey
showed today.
Other contributing causes, it
was ascertained, included a lack
of necessary navigational aids
for flying In bad weather, Infer
ior planes and lack of equip
ment such as de-iceri.
Air force officials, however,
are not complaining about their
planes or equipment as much as
their under-ripened personnel.
Students of the American
occupation program said they
were gravely concerned over
Washington's failure to take
heed of the air corps plight. Un
like the ground forces, the air
force needs more than just men;
it needs technicians schooled for
air or ground duly. '
of 381 transports assigned to
the East European air transport
service only 141 mechanically
are able to operate, and there
are insufficient crews to main
tain them.
BURGLARIES?
Yes, the news it full of
them lately.
Protection against such
losses costs only from $7.50
to $15.00 per year.
