Personally, 1 doubt If democracy can ever bo successfully forced on anybody FROM THE TOP. If It V to work, democracy haa to come up from the bottom. People have to WANT It. II told at tue point ol a gtui In the hands of conqueror " that thev niual take It or eUe, ihey may accept It outwardly but Inwardly they'll rebel. That'e Juat human nature. It has aeenicd to me for quite a while that we are trying to force our brand of democracy un the real of the world. I'm aure that's mistake. The Swine have a pretty good kind of democracy and It haa served them well. Ob viously, they LIKE It. But If aomebody tried to FORCE the Swiss wav of life on us we'd tight bloody murder against It. Our way of life came to us BE CAUSE WE WANTED IT. Our forefathers were fed to the ears with the medlevsl mens In Europe. Thry were willing to risk even death to get what they wanted. Coming to us In that natural, logi cal way, our particular brand of democracy has worked. Incidentally, another Japanese problem Is facing us. Our boys over there era beginning to marry Japanese Iris. They ara marrying them by the thousands. They are bringing their brldea HOME with them. Also, la many cases, their CHIL DREN. These Japanese wives (and - their children) ara coming to - America under a temporary ' relaxation of our Immigration laws which refuse; American cltlsenshlp 1 to Orientals. This temporary re ' taxation la due to expire soon. But ' H looks like Amerlcsn boys wtll , be In the Orient (Including Japan) , for a long time. If nature contln- ties to take Its course, a lot mora M thorn will marry Japanese girls. What ara we going to do about ll We're bow beginning to took Upon lbs Japanese as our allies. We're coming to RELY ON THEM aa a bulwark In the East against communism. We're expecting a lot of them to die In defense of our wsy of Ufa against communist ag gression. As things are going now. It won't be long before the Japanese are going to want to know why. 11 THEY'RE OOOD ENOUOH TO DIE FIOHTINQ BESIDE US FOR THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, they aren't good enough to be come American oltlaens and SHARE In the American way of life. Especially the Japanese girls who marry American boys and bear children who are HALF American. It's a tough problem. How are we going to answer It? If we're going to run the world, whlch'we are apparently commit ted to do, we're going to face a lot of problems like that. We might as well be thinking about them now. Some of our thinking la going to have to run along this line. If a guv la going to die beside you helping you DEFEND YOUR HOME,' Is he or Isn't he good enough, to be Invited Into your home? What kind of answer are you going to give to that question when it la put to you as it certainly will be? 'Weather .

That Is a great drop from peak shipments at the end of November when one day saw 101 cars shipped to market. Shipments have dropped off steadily alnce the OPS announced the first of the year that price ceilings would be imposed. Potalomen reported this morning Army buying waa actually the only atlr on the market at present, and that Is unatesdy. Inspectors report ed a good portion of the shipments reported this week were still the "pre-OPS" contracts being ful filled. Price Stabiliser Michael V.

The markups, he said, will take Into aocounl the "five to 10 per cent cut In country shipping point prices" ordered to take effect Sat urday. OPS officials explained the retail price action will give stores an op portunity to dispose of potatoes they msy have bought at prices higher than the ceilings. Oftlclala aald that after Jan. 28 retailers will be required to com pute new prices weekly to reflect the average costs In buying po tatoes the previous week.

In a slashing speech before the United Nations Political Commit tee. Vishinsky called U.S. Gen. Gen. James A. Van Fleet a "can nibal" unfitted to conduct the talks.

Nevertheless, the committee sent Vlshlnsky's atom program to the newly created Disarmament com mission for intensive study. The vote on a British-French-American resolution suggesting this course was 53 to 5. with two abstentions.
