nation and its people must pay for
world peace. It we intelligently meet

STRENGTH DTGERMANY?;
' The United States Army and Air
Force in Germany are preparing plans
that call for five-year occupation
of that country but whether this is a
preliminary survey or the indication
of a determined : pokey is uncertain.
Our ; ground and. air forces have
initiated a construction program in
uermany that indicates an intention
to keep armed forces in that country
lor sometime. Apparently, it is deern
ed essential to. maintain a symbol of
American power in Germany in order
to give European peoples 'assurance
of our interest in 'their 'fat? and to
jerve as a warning to Soviet Russia
that the United States,- in. fact, is a
force to be reckoned with in any de
cisions that the Kremlin may take
concerning European affairs. .
The people of the United States
are only beginning to recognize the
serious mistake made by this country
when the ' German forces surrendered
in 1945. At that time the home front
was almost fanatical in its demand
that the soldiers' come home, little un
derstanding the vital importance of
maintaining strong American forces
in Germany. Practically everybody
recognizes that the precipitant demo
bilization of American troops was a
serious mistake and that the course
of affairs in Eurone might have been
different if this country had main
tained a considerable army in Ger
many for two or three years after the
surrender of the Nazi forces.
'For some strange reason, our peo
ple got the impression that the World
was saved when the German army
collapsed. We looked at the war in I
the same manner that we regarded an I
athletic contest. We overlooked the
necessity of holding . a strong hand
connection with negotiations and

iwe did not understand that the only
real influence in tonnecton with
settling international affairs is the
strength of the nation talking a posi
tion. . - . . - v
Even now, there are people' in this
country who have accepted the naive
ridea that the world will have peace
it the United States demonstrates that
it . "loves everybody." This demon
stration' includes unilateral disarm
men and the withdrawal of American
forces from other areas. The irerm
of the thinking seems to be that oth
er countries will catch the fever and,
once convinced that the United States
want nothing, will behave like Little
Lord Fauntlerflys.
HOW MANY COMMUNISTS
IN THE WORLD?
'Recent reports in the Soviet press,
according to Harry Schwartz in the
New. York Times, claim that there are
between 25,000 and 26,000 Communists;
in the World." v . 1
The party in the Soviet Union is,
the largest, with - approximately ' 7,
000,000 members. Next comes China,
with an estimated 4,000,000 members,
representing an increase of 1,000,000
111 the past year.
The largest Communistic group in
Europe is claimed in Italy,' where
there are' an estimated 2,532,000 ad
herents. Czechoslovakia, Poland and
Romania are put down for 2,300,000,
1,360,000 and 1,000,000 respectively.
The figures printed in Moscow re
flect important losses in some Eu
ropean countries. In France only
800,000 members are claimed as
against 1,300,000 in 1947. In Hungary
the estimate is down to 950,000 from
1,150,000. Altogether the Communists
outside of Russia are estimated as
about the same figure as 1949, appar
ently showing that gains in China
about balanced the losses from resig
nation or purges in European countries.

Disabled Veterans
Make Poppies For
Sale On Poppy Day
'. Making memorial poppies to be
worn in honor of the war dead on
Foppy Day, May 27, is providing em
ployment for thousands of disabled
veterans in hospitals throughout the
country, says Mrs. J. L. Chestnutt,
poppy chairman of Post No. 40 unit
of the American Legion Auxiliary.
The work not only enables the vet
erans to earn much-needed money,
but also is valuable as occupational
tiierapy, Mrs.- Chestnutt said
Poppies which, will be worn here
are being made by patients at vet
crans hospitals. They will be distri
buted on the streets on Poppy Day by
volunteer workers from the Auxiliary
and cooperating organizations. Con
tiibutions received for the little red
memorial flowers will go entirely into
the rehabilitation and child welfare
funds of the Legion and Auxiliary.
The flowers are made of crepe pa
per with wire stems and are accurate
replicas of the wild poppies of France
and Belgium, which grew in such
profusion on the battlefields of both
world wars, i This "Flanders Fields"
poppy has been the memorial flower
of ' all English-speaking countries
ever aince the first World War. Mil
lions are worn throughout the world
each year and, in addition to keeping
bright the memory of the war dead,

Don't I Help Pay for
Telephone Expansion?
Telephone com
panies are not
allowed to
charge enough
to finance expansion.. Funds for
this must come from investors
everyday foljks who buy tele
phone stocks and bonds.
Our revenue from telephone
rates is only enough to pay
operating expenses, and to give
investors a reasonable return.
Thus, today's service and to
morrow's expansion demands a
financially sound and progres
