Do We Ever Learn?
Some people believe there have been lessons to
learn in the role America has played or failed to
play in world affairs during the last decade or
more. But the members of the conference commit
tee on the one-package appropriation bill —and be
hind them a number of members of both houses
of Congress—have managed to ignore magnificent
ly some of the outstanding lessons.
One of the lessons, we have been told, is that
free governments should learn to know their
friends from their enemies.
Another, we have heard from many sides, is that
the free governments should publicize vigorously
the reasons for their way of life.
Now the conference committee has kept in the
bill $62,500,000 of a proposed $100,000,000 en-»
forced loan to the fascist-style dictatorship of Gen
eralissimo Franco in Spain, while cutting the aid
to Marshall Plan countries by $200,000,000, re
ducing Point Four aid for backward countries from
$26,900,000 to $15,000,000 and eliminating en
tirely a $12,500,000 United States contribution to
the United Nations Children’s Fund.
In addition, the committee has disallowed ap
proximately $20,000,000 of State Department
funds for foreign propaganda activities when that
kind of ammunition is every bit as much needed as
rockets and bullets.
A conference committee, of course, cannot go
back to remedy the moral abdication of a Congress
which loads its budget with “pork barrel projects
as usual” and then directs the President and the
Budget Bureau to save $550,000,000 “somewhere
outside the armed services.”
But it might have thrown out the Spanish “loan”
—which is not a loan in any banking standards, nor
can it have any effective supervision by ECA as do
loans to Marshall Plan countries.
This gift to Franco was whooshed through the
Senate by a powerful lobby, using arguments of
military expediency in the dire atmosphere of the
Korean war. Considering Spain’s neutrality in
World Wars I and 11, there is no assurance that
this or further gifts actually will obtain military
bases for the United States or Atlantic Pact na
tions.
But it is excellently calculated to make Atlantic
Pact nations uncomfortable in their alliance with
the United States. Ts America withdraws funds
from them to give to Franco, will its troops then
fall back the more readily and leave Germany,
France and the Low Countries to an invader?
While giving $62,500,000 to Franco, the United
States would be giving vastly more than this to
Soviet Russia* in the adverse propaganda value of
a tie with reaction. Will any number of millions
buy in Spain half as much as it forfeits in the rest
of Europe and the world?
Under these circumstances it would help to re
dress a bad situation if President Truman, as is
suggested, could find legal means to impound this
injudicious grant. But it would be much more
heartening if Congress itself should show greater
awareness of the consequences of its acts. —The
Christian Science Monitor.
Not As Bad As Painted
One unfortunate aspect of the wild charges of
disloyalty against employes of the Federal Govern
ment is the creation of suspicion in the minds of
the American people that many of our citizens are
not loyal to their government and country.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has ex
amined a total of 2,571,062 loyalty-form papers

Horace White is a dickens of a plumber. The
other day I had him fix one of the faucets in my
kitchen sink which was leaking. He slipped in
the house while I was not at home and stopped the
leak all right. But what gets my goat is the fact
that he didn’t wash the breakfast dishes which I
piled in the sink.

Doc J. W. Davis returned home after a fishing
trip at Nags Head and was telling Cal Kramer
about the luck he had. Cal listened for a while
and then reached in a desk drawer, picked out a
fisherman liar’s license and handed it to Doc, so
that he could listen to the rest of the story and feel
right about it. Now it doesn’t matter how many
fish Doc says he caught or how big they were, for
he’s a member of the club.

Somebody apparently is gypped out of two bucks.
In renewing a subscription the other day I wrote
my name where the name of the subscriber should
be on the receipt. I do not remember the subscriber,
but in this instance the party is not receiving The
Herald. Note —This occurred to only one person,
so that I don’t want to see a flock of people claim
ing they paid their subscription and are not re
ceiving the paper.
< Business must be punk at some places. The other
day I saw a merchant standing outside the store
and asked “How is business?” He replied, “Oh,
there is a lot of business rushing past my door.”
Maybe he ought to get a rope and try to develop the
art of lassoing. Another business man told me that
if anybody goes in his place of business, he’d lock
the door until he sold something.

I was watching a four-handed game of casino
the other night, when hard luck seemed to be on
the trail of one of the ladies playing. After she
failed to take a single trick for a few hands and
every time she builded, one of her opponents took
the trick, she apparently became disgusted and
said, “I can’t take a thing tonight, not even a dose
of Hadacol.” Well, maybe Hadacol is good for
card playing, too.
I saw a fellow paying a laundry bill the other
day and when the agent stated the price, the fellow
said, “Gosh, I believe it would be cheaper for me
to get married and have a wife to wash my clothes.”
But a married fellow standing nearby chimed in,
“I’d rather pay the laundry bill.”
Thanks to some of my recent visitors, I’m getting
along better cooking myself two soft boiled eggs
each morning. I’ve been noticing that the eggs
while cooking crack and allow some of the white tos
ooze through the shell. I’ve taken the advice to
put salt in the water which prevents the eggs from
cracking. Now all T have to do is to learn to open
the things without jamming my thumbs half way
through the yoke. Maybe when I get some more
company I’ll learn how to do that, too.

There surely are some ungrateful folks in this
world. For instance, the other day a cigarette sales
man was handing out samples in front of the Broad
Street Fish Market and gave a complimentary
package to a fellow. This very same guy took the
sample, walked in Haywood Jones’ store and bought
a package of another brand.

Arthur Hollowell was among a small group who
enjoyed a steak supper Tuesday night, but Arthur
didn’t enjoy his steak very much. Not that the
steak wasn’t good, but Arthur had a bad aching
tooth, which he said would be out of his mouth be
fore noon Wednesday. That’s where a lot of us
have it on him, for we can take out our teeth our
selves if we want to.
since August 1, 1947. J. Edgar Hoover, chief of
the Bureau, reports that it has returned to the Civil
Service Commission 2,561,046 forms without dis
loyal data. This means that 99:6 per cent of the
total forms processed by the FBI failed to disclose
any disloyalty.
