From The Dalles Chronicle
TEXT o the secret agreement reached at
Yalta, under which Russia was promised
halt of Sakhalin island and all of the Kurile
islands, finally was made public yesterday.
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes said that
it had been given a "top secret' classification,
under an agreement by Roosevelt, Churchill
and Stalin.
There is more than a suspicion that this "top
secret" still would have remained secret, had
it not been for the fait that it was "smoked
"out" by the state department. No one in con
gress apparently knew about it and when
Russia put in a claim for the territory official
skepticism was voiced in Washington that the
American government ever had agreed to such
s proposition.
Moscow blandly replied that there was no
doubt in Stalin's mind as to what he had been
promised at Yalta and Byrnes finally had to
admit, a bit reluctantly, that Roosevelt had
made such a commitment. There is every rea
son to believe that even President Truman did
not know about it, and other possible secret
agreements as well, let alone congress.
The next question agitating congress is what
else did Roosevelt promise? Did he promise
the CIO a 30 per cent postwar wage increase?
Some persons think so. Did he promise big
loans and credits to England, France, Russia,
China and other nations? If so, what promises
did he receive in return? What is the United
States to get from the extension of such largess?
Congress certainly would like the answer to
these questions. It is almost certain that Presi
dent xruman sua is in ine aarx on some mat
ters. Roosevelt took so few persons into his
confidence that, when death called him sud
denly, only the surviving members of the "Big
Three" now may know the answers. That
may be why Winston Churchill is holding con
ferences with Truman at the White House.
Admittedly it was necessary to concentrate
tremendous authority in the hands of the presi
dent, in order to achieve efficient prosecution
of the war. We now are paying for this inde
pendence on "one-man government," however.
And we are attempting to keep promises that
congress, which is supposed to decide such
matters, never knew about and might not have
made, if kept informed about the proceedings.
Still The "Staff Of Life"
From The Reno Gaiette -"4
4 HEN starvation threatens large popula-
YY tions, wheat and flour are the best and
cheapest means of saving lives. That was true
In the crisis following the first World War.
It is true in the current crisis arising from the
same causes. : .
In such emergencies, it isn't a matter of main
taining a balanced diet. It's a matter of keep
ing men, women and children alive, and for
that bread is still the "staff of life." That is
why President Truman has placed emphasis
upon wheat, in outlining the contributions the
United States intends to make to stricken
Europe.
The stocks of wheat in the United States on
January 1, 1946, according to the department
of agriculture, were lower by 32 per cent
than on January 1, 1945, and lower by 23 per
cent than the average of January 1, 1935-1944.
And this despite an all-time record production
in 1945 estimated at 1,123,000,000 bushels. The
1944 production of 1,042,000,000 bushels also
broke the existing record. Only once before
in 1915 had production gone over a billion
bushels. ' -
These production statistics have led some ob
servers to assume, fallaciously, that it is going
to be easy to fill Europe's wheat needs without
experiencing any difficulty at home. The
error is apparent when the low wheat stocks
are studied.
Three factors account primarily for the low
stocks of wheat on hand despite the high pro
duction 1. Large exports to meet foreign needs;
2. High industrial consumption, including use
for alcohol; 3. Extensive use for feeding cattle
and hogs.
The general agricultural price situation and
the corn situation have made it more profitable
for many farmers to feed their grain than to
sell it. The large consumption of grain per
capita in the armed forces is also an element
in depleting the stocks.
The World Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
Associated Press World Traveler
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 16 Holland has taken
a terrible beating from the nuns, but
finally has a solid footing on the craggy path
to recovery and the indications are that with
good crops this coming season she will do
relatively well a long way from normal, mind
you, but headed safely in the right direction.
That is our summary of the position, having
had chance to look things over. As I sat
down to write this article I asked my distaff
partner what her outstanding impression of
Holland was, and got an unexpected reply.
"It's that I have heard a lot of young folk
singing in the streets," Mrs. Mack said, "and
you see people smiling and even laughing
everywhere. That's an astonishing thing to find
in a country which has suffered so much as
Holland."
e
Cheerful Courage
WELL, I guess she's right. The Dutch have
been hurt so badly that it doesn't take
much easement to make them happy. It's a
good sign, too, for cheerful courage is needed
to pull them through.
Morale is tops in Holland, and it is getting
better with the approach of spring. It's near
ing tulip time in Haarlem and we've seen
the growers working diligently and lovingly
over their bulbs. The farmers, too, are be
ginning to turn the soil for the crops which
mean so much to Holland this year.
So far as material things go, the best indi
cation is that there no longer is actual hunger
in the country. That doesn't mean that there
is anything like enough food, for there is a
great scarcity of most things and rations are
terribly tight. Still, the starvation of a year
ago has been beaten.

assembly at the meetings held
