la The-
Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
, , Princess . Margaret, young and
say and full of life, turns her
back on the primrose path of In
clination and chooses the stern
path of duty. This morning's dis
patches report that a surge of ad-
miration and sympathy for her is
.welling up through the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
The premier of New Zealand
(one of the British dominions) says
, she set a, shining example to all
. people.
Why Is her decision a shining
. example to all people and an es
. peclally shining example of the
, people oi Britain and the British
.:tomlnlons?
... . It's a long story. Margaret is a
member of the British royal fam-
i ilj. The British royal family is a
peculiar Institution. It has little
ACTUAL power. But it has tre
mendous power of example. It
-exercises this power by conform
ing to the tradition that in any
given set of circumstances its
members do the RIGHT thing. -,
. Margaret did that. She con
formed. Her decision, hard as it may
have been for her, plants in the
mind of every Englishman the
. thought that in every situation..
no matter now difficult the per
sonal circumstances may be, the
RIGHT thing is the tiling that must
be done,
j One can't help wondering what
nr uncle, the Duke of, i Winds.
; thinks of it. i'-''-f fO?
Just 30 years ago, in cfrtfum
atances similar, to Margaret's, he
made a decision. His decision was
. the opposite of Margaret's. He
chose the path of personal incll
nation. When he made his Choice,
the cloud of World War II, al
though then no larger than a
man's hand., was alreadv visthik
en the horizon. Every English-fl
. uitb TYvrm war n, u
.it came, might be the end of Brit
; ain. s
The present Puke of Windsor
was then Edward vm, "by the
: Grace of God, of Great Britain,
, Ireland, and the British Dominions
' beyond the Seas. King, Defender
! of -the Faith, Emperor of India."
He was the leader of his peo
ple. But, with the hour of grave
inai approacning lor, his country,
he considered his own Inclinations
: and abdicated his responsibilities.
: His young niece Is made of stern-
er stuff.
V By the power of her example
' she says to her people that no
. matter what comes she can TAKE
IT. - .
' Her country, although on the
mena, is still not out of danger.
' England.' being a small country
with a large population, must im.
port a large part' of. the food it
consumes and the greater part-of
the' raw materials needed to feed
lie factories. In order to obtain
the foreign currencies with which
to- pay for her vitally necessary
' Imports. England must export her
manufactured products in a BIG
way,
. Jn.jorder to export, in a bit- wv
s she must keep her costs down. To
keep her costs, down, she must
eep wages down. If her costs get
out of line, her export markets
win vanisn. Among her manufac
- tured products are automobiles.
Her people WANT AUTOMOBILES
for their own use and enjoyment.
' But if they buy as many of them
as they want, there won't be
enough left for export.
And so on,
' Many privations and sacrifices
lie ahead of the English people.
By her decision yesterday Mar
garet says to them that she too
can make sacrifices. She too can
give- up things that she wants.
No matter how hard it may be.
Thus she creates between her
self, as a member of the royal
family, and her people a warm
bond of sympathy, a feeling of
.privations mutually shared for
the common good.
Cotyriderlng her responsibilities,
who can say that she has made
the wrong decision?

Senator Sees
New Farm Bill
PENDLETON. Ore., fUP
Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D-La)
of the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee predicted today a new larm
nrlee suDDort bill will be one of the
first major measures before the
Senate next year.
Ellender said his committee,
currently holrilnit field hearings on
the exuloslve farm Issue, would
complete Its task of writing a farm
bill In January.
The House last summer passed
a bill junking the administration's
flexible price support program and
restoring the old Democratic pro
gram of rigid supports on major
crops at 90 per cent of "fair in
come" parity level.
Ellender, however, said neither
flexible nor rigid supports would
in themselves restore farm pros
perity. He told a witness who ap
pealed lor a "new approach" at a
hearing here yesterday the com
mittee "might be able to work
out" a program under which the
government would reduce surplus
farm productlng by "rent" subsi
dies to keep a portion of the
nation's farm land idle.
Tne witness wes Hyi;um Gib
bons, a Logan, Utah, farmer who
ilso offered the committee a solu
tion to the vexing problem of
government farm surpluses seven
billion dollars worth of wheat,
cotton and other assorted crops.
"If I had a lot of stuff of ques
tionable value on my hands, I'd
lust be trying to find a place to
conveniently loso a lot of It,"
Gibbons raid.
Fair Share Breaks Barrier
Operation Fair Short broke the sound barrier today
when ir xoomtd over the $100,000 mark for a total of
S103.03t.92.
' "The operation It now within irriklnq distance of the
target," Wing Commander lob leach said, "and every
squadron member has been alerted to refuel for the final
attack."
Several squadron leaden are almost to the target
area of their division, including Louis Mann, furniture di
vision; James Kerns, farm Implements; Tom Gee, hotels
and restaurants; Robert Pucker?, personal and professional;
Howard Austin, utilities; Mrs. Willard Ward, residential
and Air Force.
leach announced that another report luncheon meeting
will not be held until Friday at the Winema Hotel.
"With the enthusiasm of squadron leaders and stove
pipe jockeys and the encouraging reports that show com
plete coverage of area contacted, I am optimistic that
the target will be hit and that community responsibilities
can be met," leach concluded.

era lined up solidly today against
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov'a
latest European security treaty
plan. They regarded It aa an ef

division of Europe.
Mo s low' a master diplomat
sprang his proposal, which on the
surface contained concessions to
the Western viewpoint, at the clos
ing stage of yesterday's session of
the Big Four foreign ministers.
By his timing he made a bid to
dominate the conference news

COMMENTS
The official comments of Dulles,

But within hours after the Molo

hi the Western camp passed the
word that it changed In so way
Russia's key position her opposi

except on her own terms.
What Molotov proposed was that
the . great powers. East and West
Germany and nations neighboring
Germany; sign a provisional
"treaty on security In Europe."
It would leave the North Atlan.
tlo Treaty Organization in exist

It would' renounce war.
It would guarantee aid to any
member state which was at

There were two sharp differ

would Include all European elates
