A. Henderson, ti that It la conservative, Mr. Hend erson said that he prefers to err. If at all, on the side ot caution. He checked and re;checked; every time he did. the indications pointed to bigger figures rather titan re ductions. He thinks the W.915, 000 Is good, but if It misses the mark at all, It Is a little below. Kls barley figure, for example. Is about a million dollars under the advance estimate made last fall at the ttme the big barley sales were under way. Mr. Henderson says that the $12,500,000 figure EPLEY given then may be pretty close to . Uie fact, but that he will let hit conservative estimate stand as the best bet on the basis of a final review at the end of the season. Even though they are Influenced by Inflationary conditions, the 1947 figures present an Impressive demonstration of the Immense importance of agricul ture to the basin's economy. Agricultural Income has crept slowly up on lumber values, until now it equals or passes that Important Industrial figure. Production Gain . AGRICULTURAL gains are by no means entirely inflationary. There have been tremendous in creases In actual production in the last 30 years. At depression price levels, basin agricultural return would still be tar above that of the depression years. We are going to suggest to Mr. Henderson that he take this year's production and figure the income at the prices which prevailed in 1932. when the basin's agricultural return was Just $3.466550. We are certain it will show a still-impressive Increase, several times the 1932 figure. But It is well to keep in mind that this year's Income Is Influenced to a considerable extent by in flationary trends, and that furthermore, commodity prices have recently dropped and farm crop and live stock values may come down in another year. But even with those precautionary thoughts In mind, one can hardly restrain his enthusiasm in examining Mr. Henderson's report. It Is terrific, Ha.

SOKOLSKV FOR 16 years now, Uie mind ot man lu every Western country has been assailed by crises, by emergencies, by alarms, by wars, by depressions, by death. How much more can we take? Now we have passed Uie March crisis. Each year, Hitler gave us a March crisis. This tints It came a few days early In Chechoslovakia and Finland. Now we are taking our stance to meet the April crisis. That will be the Italian election when Togllatti, also known as Ercoli, will seek to take Rome on behalf ot Stalin. I say Roma Instead of Italy, for somehow Rome seems to be more ot a mouthful. Rome stirs memories of Caesar and Augustus and Marcus Au rclius and Caligula; It speaks ot a universal civilisa tion and a universal religion; it somehow gives one a feel of Uie entire Mediterranean of a wonderful world ot creative force over 60 centuries ot time. So in April, what happened In Czechoslovakia may happen In Italy. And who shall prevent It from happening? That is hard to say. There was a time when Great Britain and France might. have done something about It, but that time is over. Neither has the capacity to do anything about lu The United Nations certainly can do nothing about Rome tf it can do nothing about Jerusalem. Or, shall we say that it the United Nations could do something about Jerusalem, It could have done something about Rome long before tills. For as the United Nations is organised, should Togllatti take over Italy, it would Just be an Internal affair, Just a change of administration. Should Togllatti take over, Tito's troops on the Italian border would be the agents of Togllattts motherland. Soviet Russia. Errors AS for the United States, il has made so many errors, so many blunders before and since George Marshall became secretary of state that it Is be coming very late to straighten out all Uie messes these amateurs composed. Not Uie least of these was the withdrawal ot our troops from Italy too soon. This error was only one of a long list ot mis takes made at Teheran, Yalta. Potsdam, at San Francisco, at Lake Success, at Paris and London, wherever our great minds joined Uie Russians in conference. The Russians always succeeded at these conferences either in getUng what they wanted or in producing a deadlock. One of Uie most costly mistakes made by George Marshall was Uie deser tion of Chiang Kai-shek and Uie embargo on .arms to China. He missed Uie point there altogether, as he erred when he took American troops out of Italy too soon. So here we are. Do not regard this article as too pessimistic, and do not be annoyed that It speaks so unkindly of George MarsnalL The fact is that we face a crisis and he, who Is charged with our for eign policy, is fumbling. His mind is too Inflexible, too rigidly condiUoned by a military life, to be obedient and to be obeyed, to be able to adjust to Uie fine art of diplomacy. Too Late HE believed that Russians could be trusted. Just as Jimmy Byrnes once thought that all he needed to do was to meet Uie Russian eye to eye to talk common sense to him. Well, Uie Russian did not take to his particular brand of common sense. Just as Stalin and Molotov laugh at Marshall's brand. In fact, while Marshall Is trying to sell Uie Marshall plan Ithe Bevin plan. ERP or anything else you want to call it) to congress, the Russian has taken a tew more countries and Is preparing for Uie final pre-war test in Italy. It is so queer that those responsible see every thing too late. Maybe newspaper men and radio commentators are not as trained in IntemaUonal relaUons as those who sit in Washington, but some of us can establish, from our copy, the record that we have been consistently right when Uie state de partment, and even Uie White House, was consist enUy wrong. This writer began warning his readers concerning Soviet Russia in 1919. And the Russian program has not changed since 1919. Must millions die before the state department recognizes Uie facts of life? . The World Today By HEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst DaWill Mackanila The Doctor Says Sanitation Hookworm Cure By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. written for NEA Service For centuries a condition which Is now usually known as hookworm disease was recognized under various names such as miner's anemia and Egyptian chlorosis. Only recently has the cause become thoroughly Understood. Two kinds ot parasites can cause the disease. One Is Uie more com mon In Uie old world and recently has been found to be frequent on Pacific Islands; the other is called the new world species. The eggs of these parasites are passed iu the feces ot Uie person who is infected. In regions having poor sanitation, Uie eggs become mixed with sand or earth and develop Into forms which can in fect others. If they are swallowed Infection follows. They can also burrow into the skin, usually Uie feet ' Symptoms Vary Symptoms vary a good deal, but seem to depend on the number of ' worms. Lack of energy is particular ly common. Anemia, underdevelop ment and excessive paleness of Uie skin are also common. The line of attack on this disease is sanitation: proper disposal of sewage, wearing ot shoes, and proper preparation of food. Great strides have been made in preventing hook worm disease by means such as these. Nevertheless, some men sta tioned on Pacific islands during the war seem to have acquired the in fection. There are several methods of treatment which bring satisfactory results. The drugs used to get rid of Uie worms are fairly powei f ul and must be handled with care. In northern sections and in places where sewage disposal Is satisfactory and shoes are generally worn, hook worm disease is not much of a problem. Note: Dr. Jordan is unable to answer Individual questions from readers. However, each day he will answer one of the moat frequently asked quesUons in his column. THE DOCTOR ANSWERS QUESTION: I sweat under the arms a great deal What can be done for this? ANSWER: Excessive sweating Is common. About all that can be done for it is to use anti-sweating pre parations on sale at any drugstore. Jan Masaryk's death has thrown much light on a question which had been puiulltig a lot of us, namely, Just how he appraiser the sltunllntt growing out of (lie communist sclaure of power 111 Czechoslovakia, Several days after the red coup he gave a flat endorsement of close Kussia. However, he coupled this with Uie drama tic declaration to ihe army and his "Csech and Slo rak brothers": "I am with you." It was an enig matic statement. Some observers thought It indi cated that Mass r y k had em barked on a highly dangerous double game, outers felt lie was trying to steer a middle course to bring Moscow and the western democracies together in peace. Well. It now seems probable that In the long and lonely hours of Tuesday night he came to the fate ful decision that he was playing a futile role that his usefulness was finished. What tipped the balance may have been his realisation that his continued presence in the com munist government as foreign min ister wns giving the reds a chance to traffic on the public worship of his faUter founder ot the republic. The magic name of Masaryk was an invaluaole asset to the communists in their efforts to solidify the coun try behind the totalitarian govern ment. Jan Masaryk may even have felt (to use the language of the British Prime Minister Attleel that "he could not endure to live In the suf focating atmosphere of totalitarian ism." Indeed, it would be strange if the foreign minister weren't In a state of near despair. Still. I'm In clined to believe that he would have staved cn and fought It out. if he hadn't felt that it was better for his country If he "withdrew." I'm trving to look at the thing objectively, and perhaps it would be easier tf I hadn't known Jan Masarvk and his father and other members of Uie family. I haven't yet met anybody who knew the Masaryk family who didn't have a high regard for It. No more doughty fighter ever came out of Central Europe than Thomas Masaryk, the rebel who became fother of hi! country. There Is no reason to doubi that Jan was a chip off the old block, so far as bravery is con cerned. For Ills Country So It Isn't unreasonable to con clude that Jan Masaryk figured It was for the good of Czechoslovakia If he dlsaDDeared. Only a lew nours before his death he visited nis Min er's grave. One wonders if the son was seeking Inspiration from the wisdom of the father. Perhaps he got that help. Who knows? Perhaps even more important is the effect of the Czechoslovak situa tion on the western democracies. U. 8. Secretary of State Marshall yesterday summed up Uie position In blunt language. Me aeciarea mat. Czechoslovakia is under "a reign ot terror," and cited Masaryk s aeatn one of the things which indicate verv olalnly what is going on. He added: There is also a very strong feel ing regarding these developments and a considerable passion ot view on the part of a great many In this country. The situation Is very, very serious."
