There seehia to be' ntf season to
Ttpose that Marshal Stalin has any
wantion whatsoever of surrendering
Wan claims or that the Soviet
overnment "will peaceably return
Poland any part of the former Po
h Republic that belonged to the
usalanSi prior to the first .World
ar. .
Another fact that seems to be
early " established is the determln
tlon of the Russians that the Gov
rnment of Poland, whatever it may
e, ahall e composed of individuals
,ledged to a friendly policy toward
lusaial-i Apparently, the government
TCsechoslovakia has already ac-
et"wpch an : attitude as the basis
".future .relationships with Russia.
With the jrMinii8 standing firm

rfendly personnel of the ..Polish Gov
rnment, ': the only question left for
he - Anglo-Americans to determine
i how far they will go in attempting
j" seat the London Poles, wht it
hould 'he remembered, refugeed
rom Poland in 1939 and, since their
arrival in - London, have claimed to
,a the only spokesmen for the Po
sh people.
While no sensible person expects
Iho United States or Great Britain
to; go' to war with Russia on the Po
lish question, these are a number of
citisens who-seem to think that the
two Western .democracies should
keep the Issue alive, permitting it to
fester and inflame post-war relation
ships With Russia.

to the Soviet

Russians are entirely right or that
'the solution that appears possible
represents the best theoretical dis-
position of the issues involved. We

second World War.
Egypt's Plan For Jap Islands Ignores
f m I m M
American mooa ouca
Egypt would place mandates from
the last World War under the super
vision of the new world organization,
now being formulated at San Fran
ciscoi - This looks fairly harmless but it
would mean that almost all of the is
lands which American fighting men
have recaptured from the Japs in the
Pacific would .be surrendered to the
control of the world- organization.
The Egyptian- delegation, we pre
sume, made the suggestion with a
straight face regardless of the fact
that Egypt has dons little or nothing
to down the aggreBsors 'of the pre
sent war and that, In the last war, if
the outcome ' had .depended upon
Egypt, the Kaiser would have re
mained in Berlin-to issue orders for
other nations.
You might wonder how Egypt gets
1 that ""way T You might also' ponder
-it.. t 1'.,. ta.M l ann
. Wv vwwuwi iu ' mid nv U 4 V-
ganization is ever set up .that per
, mits wayside powers like Egypt to
have a controlling voice in the man-
lip" The Egyptians, like a lot of other
fieuinv, arv prepared to aevux wb
and means of settling everything.
Then, if trouble develops, they will
not be able to take a full share in the
Job of protecting what they have at
: tempted.' ..
'. The United States, " hiving fonght
the Japs almost single-handed so far,
, and having practically' ousted ' Japan
; from her island bastions,- should pot
. hesitate ' to retain such islands y as
' may e necessary, in view of our
.Strategists, to prevent "this country
from having to shed the blood of an--i-
e other . generation' of Americana to
keep the peace of the Pacific.
Tax Reduction Clue Appear Ilk
. 1 Washington t '
' The . campaign to reduce 'taxes is
applying pressure on the members
: of Congress but President J Truman
"v -5 gays he will fight any reduction "until
, Japan is defeated. A -3'
- Congressmen,' however,' will be
- anxious "to. "accomplish something"
, for vofera and especially for corpora
- ations which - exert control in their
districts- Consequently, it ia safe tO'
predict that the sentiment for reduc
tion will grow in Congress and that
it,may be necessary for the Presi
v. dent to veto legislation effecting re
' ' ' ductions. " . . '
Emphasizing that (here can Le no
reduction in taxes until the war is
v over, the President said million of
J.iJIvi bond holders muct be pro
I h it' t the only wty to nr'.e
good the obligations of the United
States Is through taxation.
- Three Cabinet Meatbers Replaced
'v.tf;, By Traauui "
' The nation 'Bad its "first Cabinet
shake-up in many years when-President
Truman ' announced the retire
ment of Attorney General Biddle and
Secretaries Wickard and Perkins on
the same day and, for good measure,
theiews. that Judge Marvin Jones
would returtfto.the Cobrt 6f Claims.
S6rtharly ' days of the "New
Deal" newspaper ' and radio experts
have been predicting' the disruption
of the Cabiriet. ' Many of them an
ticipated ''the late President Roose
velt and told us the changes to occur
but, for some reason, "they did not
materialize.
Attorney General Biddle will be re
placed by Assistant Attorney Gene
ral Tom Clark, of Texas; Secretary
Wickard by Rep. Clinton Anderson,
of New Mexico, and Miss Perkins by
Judge Lewis B. Schwellenbach, for
merly U. S. Senator from the State
of Washington. Mr. Anderson will
also take over the War Food Admin
istration when Judge Jones retires
on June 30th.
The shifts somewhat broaden the
base of the Cabinet, with New York
and Pennsylvania giving place to ap
pointees from Texas and Washington,
but we see little political significance
in the changes which probably repre
sent the almost inevitable personal
readjustments that follow a change
in the office of the Presidency.
It may be that other resignations
will be forthcoming. Until they do
we shall not speculate nor attempt
to interpret the changes in terms of
grave political import

did not agree to the course. .
The argument entirely overlooks
the fact that any agreement between
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin at
Yalta was a matter of common con
sent, known and understood by the

a source of
information that ia de-
pendable. In addition, except for
some with abiding prejudice against
the Russian dictator, there have been
suggestions that Stalin himself is a
reliable source of information.
Prime Minister - Churcnil), sr.d
others, have made public their be
lief in the good faith of Marshal
Stalin. If this is untrue, then there
is little use for the United States or
Great Britain to attempt to reach
any agreement with the -Russians
or their leader. The fact that both
nations continue to negotiate indi
cates an opinion that they are deal
ing with parties who, after making
an agreement, can be expected to
carry it out in good faith.
Peace Time OWI Might Perform
Service
The Office of War Information has
been under attack:' from various
sources and, recently there have been
suggestions that the agency be dis
continued, . We hold no brief for the OWI and
would hot attempt' to say that its
record is perfect Nevertheless, dur
ing the war it waa necessary for the
Government to have some agency to
Coordinate publicity releases and to
perform .other duties in connection
with the dissemination of news.
" While the end of the war will
terminate the emergency for which
the OWI waa created, it should be
obvious that the Government needs
some similar organization to function
efficiently and to handle similar mat
ters in times of peace. There is need

for an agency to which any Ameri

to secure information about his Gov
ernment. Both Parties Ready To Renew
Tariff Battle
The Congress of the United States
is beginning the first phases of a po
litical war which will probably inter
est the people of this country for
some years and, may conceivably
form the line which will eventually
divide the major parties.
The House of Representaties is
taking up the bill to extend the
Reciprocal Trade program for three
years. Under the present reciprocal
law, tariff rates could be cut by mu
tual bargaining with other nations
60 per cent below the rates of the
Hawley-Staioot Act which was passed
in 1930.
The nendinir kbill authorizes a 50
per cent cut o rates as of January
ei
1945, thereby permitting an

other reduction in rates that have
been reduced under previous acts the
full 80 per cent from the Smoot-
Hawley level.
We will hear the old familiar ar
guments on both sides of the tariff
question. By keeping up with the
debate as it proceeds, the average
citiaen may secure some understand
ing of the issues involved, at, any
rate, since citizens have to vote in a
democracy, it might be a good idea
to seek information on the question.

the important thing, and there are

and cooking of the meal will be as
much fun and recreation as any
other part of the evening and should

of the family. Hard boiled eggs,
when cooked over an open fire, be
come a delicacy as does bacon broil

than home-made ice cream? But,
don't let the meal scare you or work
a hardship. Remember, it's all for
fun. Use what you have to the best
advantage. You will have lots of fun
planning the meal.
