,v i 1 f y , H f Vv -i FEUQUIMAKS WEEKLY, CTBTlTOBD. K (l. FiUPAY, MAY 10, lg. PAGE THREE i 411 tM;;fAOT la icH By HUGO S. SIMS, Waahtngtan Correspondent Former Governor Harold E, Stas gen, of Minnesota, occupies the inside position among the leaders of the Lib , eral and Progressive factions of the Republican Party. Mr. Stassen is young, affable and straightforward in his discussion of the policies which he thinks the Uni ted, States " Should, follow in connec tion, with international affairs. In es sense, he aC vacates unlimited suoDort of the United Nations Organization, the vigorous championship of individ ual human rights and fundamental freedom around the world. The Minnesotan would not tie our policy to that of any other nation, but would have us discharge our re sponsibility as the great creditor na tion of the world and pursue such policies as would result in steadily in creased trade between the nations. He thinks we should emphasize, by word and deed, our cooperation m the so cial and economic problems 'that con front the United Nations. In his discussion of the nation's foreign policy, Mr. Stassen is not far removed from the position taken by President Truman, the late President Roosevelt, the late Wendell Willkie and other leaders who recognized the tremendous role that the United States must play if the world is to be organized for peace and prosperity. In fact, his remarks on international af fairs might have come from the that many naval officers do not agree with his recommendation. The implied warning that the "Com mander in Chief" gives to all officers to support the views expressed by him indicates exact'y what will hap pen to independent judgment if the proposed merged becomes a law. Despite what the President asserts we believe that he best interests of the United States will be served by the defeat of his plan to unify the services, under one department of de fense. The economies that are pro claimed as the'ain virtue of the scheme can be attained through other ways and the risks that the nation assumes, in putting its entire defense in the hands of one head, more than outweigh the savings expected, even if they could not be had otherwise. As is well known, there is general agreement that the Air Force should be of equal stature with the Army and Navy establishments. There is no dispute about this. There is differ ence of opinion as to whether a sin gle department of defense, even under alternating leadership of the three services, . can wisely or adequately plan for the proper and safe defense of the nation. Under a set-up which includes three departments, one for the Army, another for the Navy and a third for the Air Corps, each of these branches would plan, perfect and prepare their pie of a district are entitled to, know how their Congressmen vote and this includes Senators as well as Repre sentatives. Consequently, in the in terest of sound government and the proper development of Democratic processes, the House and the Senate should avoid .recourse to the "teller vote" scheme. The vote, on all impor tant issues, should be recorded and the position of every Congressman should be a matter of public record. TRUMAN'S RECORD SHOWS HE FOLLOWS F. D. R. PROGRAM The anniversary of the death of the late President Roosevelt, which was also the anniversary of President Tru man's accession to offic, has led jnany newspapers to deliver an "ob jective appraisal" of President Tru man's first year in office. There can be little doubt of Mr. Truman's fundamental sincerity in es pousing the liberal policies champion ed by Mr. Roosevelt. He has re peatedly made this clear and there is nothing in the record to suggest that the Truman policies are not ex actly the same as the Roosevelt poli cies. Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, who was counsellor of the White House in Mr. Roosevelt's administration, has also assisted Mr. Truman. In a recent magazine article, he says that Presi dent Truman' has "the same pqlitical - 'White House itself, but the position 'own line of defense. It is quite pos r mat ne takes is courageous in view of the strong isolationist sentiment that seems to persist in some sections of the country and in a large seg ment of his own Party. We doubt very much whether Gov ernor Stassen can stir up enough pop ular support to overthrow the Conser vative gang which seems to control the Republican Party. However, he is - a forceful speaker, has an engaging 'personality fend is undoubtedly bless ed with a splendid intellect That he will have a popular appeal is un doubted and it may be possible for him to duplicate the achievement of Wendell Willkie and win the nomina tion regardless of the attitude taken by many of the Party bosses. If he succeeds in getting the nom- ination and the people send him to , the White House, the nation will have . an intelligent internationalist to con duct its foreign affairs and the Peo- r pie of the country will have an able champion, pledged to look out for their interests.

This is an interesting assertion of the rights of the Senate in connection with the making of treaties. ,If the position is upheld by the full Senate, and their legal contention is approv ed by the -courts, it means that no agreements can be made by the Uni ted States with a foreign power un less ratified by the .Senate. The resolution, sponsored by Sena tor Brewster, of Maine, goes a bit fur ther, however, and says that any exe cutive agreement which grants to a foreign country the right to have an airline operating to and from the United States is illegal unless there has been a public hearing in advance and determination of public interests by the Civil -Aeronautics Board. This part of the resolution, in our opinion, goes too far. it transfers to the Civil Aeronautics Board the right to determine the "public interests" and gives to the Board, it seems, a veto right upon any agreement nego tiated by the President with a for eign country in regard to reciprocal air rights. It is in the interest of the entire world that the use of aircraft in con nection with journeys to and from foreign countries should be increased as rapidly as possible. It is also obvious that if the United States ex pects to have the right to operate left Results showed that the per acre yield of wood if cut for both lumber and pulpwood would net at least 137.20 more than if the entire area was cut for pulpwood only. The combination cut produced 11, 436 board feet of saw timber worth $114.36, and 11.88 cords of pulpwood worth $35.64, a total of $150. The overall cut for pulpwood netted 37.6 cords worth $122.80, leaving a mar gin of $37.20 in favor of the com bination cut. In this analysis, it was assumed that the mill man would take slags and edgings. However, if the land owner got these "leavings," valued at $1.50 per cord, his cash return from the combination cutting would be increased by an additional $30. The stumpage prices of $10 per thousand feet for saw timber and $3 per cord for pulpwood are considered abdtit average on the basis of present market figures for comparable tim ber, Graeber said.

A number of householders are also trying to enlarge their homes so as to take care of visitors. A re cent survey showed that aro-uid l,8uu persons could be accommodated on the Island and beach. Lady's Stomach Was Like A Gas Factory; Meals Turned To Gas faith not in name alone but in every I routes to other countries, it must be sible that there will be disagreement between them, and that the plans of the three departments will not be the same. In this lies a factor of great safety. It is conceivable that one de partment might be altogether wrong but it hardly is ta be believed that all three, acting independently, would make the same mistake. If we have one department of de fense, this would mean that the stra tegic plans of war-making and all phases of preparation would be fixed by one group. No other service would have a chance to differ. Like Mr. Tru man, the Chief of Staff would tell them to support the policy of the head-man. If,, unfortunately, for the nation, this top-man, and his advisers, make a mistake in connection with planning, preparation or strategy, the nation will pay a fearful price in the event that war comes and the enemy has not made the same mistake. The nation is big enough and has sufficient resources to afford the lux ury of three departments. In return for the money expended it will have three lines of defense. Three are cer tain to give us a margin of safety. i VOTES SHOULD BE RECORDED ON ALL IMPORTANT ISSUES The House of Representatives has approved a five-months induction holiday and the end of drafting teen agers. While we are not in accord with the judgment or tne House, the various members may have reasons for their conclusions, , with which the general public is not familiar. We object, however, to the failure of the House to have a record vote on the "holiday" proposal, which was adopted by a teller count of 166 to 153. This means that there is no rec ord as to the votes cast by individual members and it should be noted that nearly thirty per cent of the mem bership did not participate in the tell er vote. There may be occasions to justify the practice of not going on the rec ord. Undoubtedly! they are closely connected with the approaching elec tions this year. Nevertheless, the peo- principle and ideal. His domestic ob jectives no matter how much wish ful thinking our conservatives use to gloss them over are as progressive and liberal as the late President's . . . No one is more committed by thought or deed to the general policies and objectives of Franklin Roosevelt than President Truman." The essence of President Truman's political-economic philosophy was stated last January when he advanced a legislative program of fifty-four different items. Mr. Truman said: "It is the Government's responsibility to help business, labor and farmers to do their jobs. There is no question in my mind that the Government, acting on behalf of all the people, must as sume the ultimate responsibility of the economic health of the nation." U. S. CANNOT EXPECT TO HAVE AIRWAY MONOPOLY The Senate Commerce committee, speaking for itself but probably for many Senators, fears that the Ber muda air agreements, negotiated be tween the United States and Great Britain, are not valid until ratified by two-tnirds of the Senators as a prepared to grant equivalent privi leges to the airlines of other nations. In short, there is no way for the United States to have a monopoly on air travel between the United States and foreign' countries. The other na tions, if they have any sense, would not agree to such a selfish proposi tion.

W. Graeber, leading forester of the State College Extension Service. Graeber conducted an extensive de monstration on the H. M. Hardy farm in Warren County for the visiting foresters. The event, conducted in a forest of 30-year-old pine, was staged on, a quarter-acre plot with a prelimi nary harvest being made to stimulate the faster growth of trees which were One lady said recently that her stomach used to be like a "gas fac tory!" That is, when she ate a meal it seemed to 'urn right into gas. She was always bloated, had awful stom ach gas pains, daily headaches, and constant irregular bowel action. Now, however, this lady says she is FREE of STOMACH GAS and she says the change is due to taking INNER-AID. Her meals agree with her. No gas or bloat after eating. Headaches and constipation are gone. "Oh! what re lief!" states this lady. "Why don't other gas and constipation sufferers get INNER-AID?" INNER-AID contains 12 Great Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear gas from stomach, act on sluggish liver and kidneys. Miserable people soon feel different all over. So don't go on suffering!
