The press conferences being held by

do not rate many compliments from
the newspaper men attending the
catherintrs.

A anecial commission has been set
up to provide for the reorganization
of the executive branch of the gov-

The conferences, they intimate, have
degenerated into dull and worthless
occasions. : '
Mr, Truman has made some rather
serious blunders in his conferences,

delivery in New York, and his em
barrassing wriggle after the full im
port of the address was assessed.
Now, according to the correspondents,
the President rarely commits himself
on. a . controversial issue and dodges
clear-cut statements on subjects sug
gested by the reporters.
-While we Sympathise with the de
sire of the .correspondents to secure
news, we do not agree with their con
clusion that the chief business of the
President is to provide them with
sources of copy. "; While some Presi
dents, like the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt, have used their conferences
eventually and may have considerable
influence upon schemes to reorganize
the executive department.
Not much of the work of the com
mission will be done by the twelve
members but the study wijl be par
celed out to "experts." ' For example,
former Secretary of State Henry L.
Stimson has been appointed as ad
viser to the former assistant secre
taries of state who will make a study
of foreign affairs activities. Neither
of the former secretaries are among
the twelve members of the commis
sion. The chances are that the report on
this phase of the activity will reflect

The; scope of the commission's work,
however, does not involve critical ap

Hindsight Spurs Critics . '
Of U. N. Veto Provisions
:tiIt:rW- stUz-'J ' "i '
" It is very easy for ua to look back
at the San - Francisco ,Conferenc.e,
which organized the United Nations,
and criticize . the representatives of
the nations there assembled for their
inclusion xf the right to veto among
the powers to be exercised by the five
major nations of the. world. ... ;-; sv '
The criticism , ia somewhat silly,
howeyer, if, we turn back to the days
at San Francisco. Everybody .was
anxious to get a world organisation
which would include all nations, great
and small. The Russians made it
abundantly plain that,' without the
veto, they would not be interested in
such an organization. , The choice be
fore the delegates' was failure at San
Francisco or the chance that the new
organization might work, regardless
of the veto power. , f
Experience with Soviet Russia
demonstrates that the Soviet uses its
power ruthlessly. This was not avail
able when the United Nations was
formed. There was a general under
standing at the time, however, that
the peace of the world depended upon
the friendship of the five great na
tions, with especial emphasis upon
the friendship between Russia and the
United States. Consequently, the
delegates at San Francisco took a
"calculated risk" in regard to the
veto.
Even now, there are few people who
suggest that the United Nations or
ganization should be thrown into the
ash can. There still lurks a strong
faith, even on the part of some
Americans thoroughly familiar with
the workings of the international or
ganization. The idea persists that, in
the course of years,, the United Na
tions will function in the interest of
peace and the chance exists, at least,
that, in the course of years, Russia
will become more cooperative.
Says U. S. Air Force Is
"Hopelessly Wanting"
After five months of. hearings, the
President's Air Policy Commission,
composed of hve members, recom
mends a substantial increase in the
Air Force, asserting that January 1,
1953, would be the ultimate date on
which the United States might con
sider itself relatively secure against
atomic attack.
Up to this "A Day," when the na
tion is relatively free from the dan
ger of sustained attack, the Comrhis
I sion found the Air Force inadequate
; and said that it is hopelessly want-
ing" in respect to the time when a
serious danger of atomic attack will
exist
The Commission recommends that
the government spend, in 1948, $1,
300,000,000 in addition to $2,850,
000,000 currently scheduled and that,
in the calendar year 1949 the total be
increased another, $1,300,000,000. Sug- j
gesting that our whole defense pro: I
gram be reviewed at the end of 1949,
thejCommission recommended that, if
no changes for the better occurred in
world affairs, the military program of
the nation he increased progressively.
By 1952, it added, the Air Force
should have, seventy active groups,
supported by large National .Guard
and Air Reserve armadas a .total of
more than" 12,000 first-line planes,
plus morevthan 8,000 held in reserve.
Veterans Cost Nation
One-third Of Income
Expenditures of the Veterans Ad
ministration were $7,805,355,201 in
the fiscal year that ended last June
30th.. This compares with $b39,izb,
697 in 1940. It might be interesting
to point out where the immense sum

Payment . on death claims under
National Service Life Insurance was
$266,732,165: vocational rehabilitation
of : 211.800 disabled veterans cost
$190,103,992: education and job train-
in for 1.862.633 veterans cost $1,-
634,683,008; for subsistence allow
ances and $569,841,035 for tuition and
j equipment; readjustment allowance,
sometimes termed 52-zo pay, cost
447,916,418, and compensation and
pension benefits to 264,S7 living
war veterans cost $1,365,399,805, plus
$366,672,976 paid to dependents of
666,468 dead veterans.
These items are interesting. They
do hot cover all of the payments
made by the Veterans Administra
tion but give the eader a fair idea
of where the government is spending
about one-seventh of its present in
come. ' x
Truman's Requests Put
Congress On The Spot
President Truman has given me
Republican-controlled Congress some
thing to think about in connection
with his request for price com,
rationing and other anti-inflation
Dowers.
The Republicans, one may assume,
are overwhelmingly against giving
the President the powers xn no -quests:.
In this, they will be Joined
by a considerawe number-, v
crate. ' Nevertheless, those who, fail
to support the President win nave v
accept responsibility for a "destruc
tw ainmn. If It comes about
Thsv Tri.!nt'e. ormonents will un
doubtedly accuse' him of playing
"politics," but, nevertheless, : with
prics r ;"y advancing to a , height

the authority he requests or, on the
other hand, Congress can take the re
sponsibility for arresting the infla
tionary trend, and preventing the de
flationary disaster.
Many Members. Of Congress .
Are Fighting Marshall Plan
'There are very' few members of
Congress who are outright in their
opposition to the European Relief
Plan proposed by Secretary of State
George C. Marshall. Public senti
ment, it seems, is strong enough to
convince most of the politicians that
they should approve the idea "in prin
ciple." .
This does not mean that the Con
gress will follow the recommendations
of the Secretary of State, who sug
gests that at least $6,800,000,000
should be made available. Mr. Mar-
shall, who should be in a position to
know the needs of Europe and the ex
tent of assistance necessary, proposes
that the United States extend such
economio-assistance as will accomplish
the rehabilitation of the democracies
of Western Europe. The amount of
the appropriation is a detail but an
important one.
As the Secretary of State sug
gests, dollars will not save Europe,
but without dollars, Europe cannot be
saved. Consequently, those who es
pouse the relief plan in principle are
centering their opposition ;iot upon
the plan, but upon the amount oi tne
appropriation, arguing that the sum
