WANTS PEACE MADE IN EUROPE ^ - Byrnes Signals U.S. Offensive To Win the Peace; Congressional Chiefs Oppose Service Merger Released by Western Newspaper Union. (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are espressed In these columns, they are those of (Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) FOREIGN POLICY: Byrnes Reports Back from the foreign ministers’ parley in Paris, Secretary of State Byrnes took to the radio to air this country’s position on the important question left at issue and reaffirm its determination to press firmly but patiently ahead for world under standing despite all obstacles. While the U. S. may be tempted to pull out of Europe because of the difficulties encountered in drawing a peace without sacrifice of our principles, to do so would be to risk the possibility of another world war in which we would again have to participate, Byrnes said. Therefore, we must take the offensive to assure adoption of U. S. principles, he said. Bluntly attributing existing differ ences to Russian jockeyings for ad vantage, Byrnes declared that the crying need was for a European peace paving the way for orderly production and distribution. If the Soviets continued to block the mak ing of peace and the convening of a peace parley, the U. S. will feel obligated to ask the United Nations under article 14 of the charter to recommend terms of a settlement. In reporting on the Paris parley, Byrnes outlined these differences between the U. S. and Russia: Reparations— While Russia demanded the payment of 100 mil lion dollars in reparations from Italy out of production, the U. S. balked because the financial help we are furnishing Italy to get back on her feet would thus be diverted for the benefit of another country. Venezio Giulia—U. S. resist ance to Russian demands that this strategic province embracing Tri este be handed over to Yugoslavia was based on the fact that 500,000 Italians presently living there would be placed under foreign rule. In sleaa, the U. S. recommenaea drawing a boundary along racial lines. Balkans—Settlement of Balkan treaties was obstructed by Russia’s unwillingness to freeing the Danube river for International commerce. NEW AUTOS: Another Price Raise In compensating automobile manufacturers for increased steel costs resulting from wage hikes in the industry the OPA scheduled new price increases averaging 4 to 5 per cent for new cars to be added to the $1 to $60 boosts previously al lowed. Shortages Curb Output Continuing parts shortages blocked all-out automobile produc tion, with a scarcity of seat-back and cushion springs slowing up completion of assemblies in Ford, General Motors and Willys Overland factories. CONGRESS: Hit Merger While calling for closer co-opera tion between the army and navy departments, the chairmen of con gressional naval committees warned Secretary of the Navy For restal not to enter into a compro mise with Secretary of War Patter son for merging the services since congress would not approve of such a consolidation. “We believe the bill (for merger) accentuates the differences be tween the services,” Senator Walsh and Representative Vinson of the senate and house naval committees declared. "Its enactment . . . would widen the breach since naval offi cers are convinced . . . that naval aviation and amphibious operations played a great part in winning the Secretary of Agriculture (left) discusses world food situation with FAO Director Sir John Boyd (center) and UNRRA head La Guardia at meeting of United Nations food and agriculture organization at Washington, D.

They are also convinced . . . naval aviation and amphibious forces will play a major role in pre venting any potential enemy from bringing war to our shores.” COLLEGES: Crowded Future Because of the shortages of housing, facilities, books and teach ers, the nation’s colleges will be un able to take care of a postwar rush partly prompted by the G.I. bill of rights educational benefits for vets. In reviewing the college picture for next fall, Reconversion Direc tor Snyder declared that only half of the 2 million people desiring to enroll in higher schools of learning will be able to do so, including 690, 000 vets. In 1946-’47 alone, the government will spend at least 1 billion dollars on G.I.s, he said, with expenditures over the years total ing 6 billion. U. N.: FAO Meets Formation of a United Nations food administration to direct world food policies during the period of scarcity and reconstruction was urged by Herbert Hoover at the opening session of the U. N.'s food and agriculture organization in Washington, D. C. While such an administration would co-ordinate governmental ef forts at relieving the critical food situation. Hoover recommended that it set its sights at restoring pri vate distribution and production of farm machinery, fertilizer and oth er material as quickly as possible. Declaring charity programs were wasteful and inefficient, Hoover said private commerce could pro vide more economical and reliable service to farmers, merchants and consumers. SPEEDSTERS: Having passed qualifying tests, 33 speedsters were entered in the first renewal 500 mile automobile race at Indianapolis since 1941 with $100,000 in prize money at stake. • With drivers required to average 115 miles an hour or better in four runs on the 2mile track in order to qualify for the Memorial Day event, the veteran Cliff Bergere chalked up the fastest speed in the early trials at 126.47 miles per hour. WASHINGTON DIGEST Atomic War Could Force Return to Primitive Life 0 By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Mid-June welcomes a gathering to Washington which will deal with a subject more im portant to you and me than any thing I can think of. The meeting is described as an “institute on the control of atomic e n e r g y.” A t about the same time, the United Nations Commis sion on Atomic Energy will be meeting too. At the "institute in Washington, authorities will explain just what effect atomic energy can have on your life if you are one of those who aren’t going to be destroyed by it. I was going to say "one of the lucky ones,” but you won’t be lucky, if atomic warfare starts, even if you are among those whose lives are spared. We have all heard a lot of dire prophecies about what the atom bomb can do, if it once gets on the loose. Also, what wonders atomic energy can perform in building a better world, if it is confined to peaceful and productive activity. But by far the most impressive footnote on the subject came to me in the repeated words of a scientist speaking not scientifically, or for quotation, but very intimately of his own private thoughts, and his own personal plans. He has lectured a great deal on the subject of atomic energy, and is one of those intimately concerned with its development. Suddenly, one day he realized that he had better make some personal plans to pre pare for the future in this atomic age of which he had spoken so much. His work is near one of the several prime targets of any enemy bombs that would be dropped. No Refuge From A-Bomb So he began to consider. Should he try to get transferred to some smaller institution, located in a lit tle town? That, he considered, would not help much. He has a farm, but he is not a farmer. Should he move onto the farm immediately, learn as much as he could about farming, and plan to live there where he would be comparatively safe? The farm is far from any large city, tudked in the hills. Then he started planning. He would have to learn a lot more than farming. He would have to learn to card wool, for In stance; his wife would have to learn to spin, to weave, to make soap, to fabricate all the things you buy in stores. He would have to lay in tools, and enough other supplies to last him the rest of his lifetime. Well, perhaps all thal could be done. Then he realized that even at that, he wouldn’t be safe. He would have to build barbed wire en tanglements, and obtain machine guns and other weapons with which to defend himself . . . for with the refugees who escaped, starving, from the cities, the few who had food would be at the mercy of the hungry mobs. If I had heard those statements from' a lecture platform, or read them in a magazine, I might have passed them by as sensationalism. But the statements weren’t in a magazine, or spoken from a plat form. They were said over the luncheon table in the quiet corner of a club The speaker wasn’t trying to "sell” his ideas to any body. He wasn’t trying to persuade anybody to do anything, or to get publicity. He was thinking out loud about what he considered an acute personal problem. In the end it left him baffled. There is no defense. The only hope is to make the United Nations work. World Farmers Unite The International Federation of Agriculture, the first such interna tional organization comprised of in dividual memberships by farmers’ organizations from most of the na tions represented ift U. N., comes into being as a result of a meeting of farm leaders from throughout the world in London. James Turner, president of the British National Farmers union, was the moving spirit in calling the London conference and in forma tion of the new organization. As Quentin Reynolds (left) and Albert Goss. head of a delegation of British farmers which traveled half-way around the world to study condi tions in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, he found a widespread belief that the primary producers of the world must organize if they were to be protected against uncertainties of the postwar period. U. S representatives at the con ference included Allan B. Klein, vice president of the American Farm Bureau federation; James G. Patton, president of the National Farmers Union; Albert S. Goss, master of the National Grange, and Quentin Reynolds, president of the National Conference of Co-opera tives. Put Sales Goal At 200 Billion If Strikes End CHICAGO.—A total of 200 billion dollars in merchandise still could be produced and sold in 1946 if strikes and threats of strikes could be eliminated. Gene Flack, vice president of the National Federa tion of Sales Executives, declared here recently. As an annual sales goal for com ing years, Mr. Flack put 140 billion dollars as a satisfactory figure. Such a total would provide 53% mil lion jobs, he said, “enough to make certain that this nation will avoid any possibility of a depression.” Flack asserted that if the engi neering and sales abilities of Amer ican manufacturers could lift sales to a total of 150 billions during the war years, certainly America could make another 33 per cent increase. SENATE COMMITTEE ACTS Kami Prices Taken (hit of OP A WASHINGTON. — Power to say when price ceilings should be lifted from food and other farm products was taken away from OPA and giv en to Secretary of Agriculture An derson by the senate banking com mittee which is considering the price control bill. Chairman Wagner (D., N. Y.) an nounced alter a closed meeting that the vote was 12 to 2. Tentatively, the committee agreed on a general plan for ending the wartime controls over prices as pro duction of goods begins catching up with demand. It embraces three main points: 1. A policy formula, proposed by Senator Barkley (D., Ky.), calling for removal of price ceilings by the end of the year on all commodities not important to business costs or to living costs, and removal of other ceilings when supply and demand reach a ratio where a price increase other than a temporary fluctuation would not result. Independent Appeal Board. 2. Creation of an independent board of three members to which industries could appeal for removal* of ceilings if the Office of Price Ad ministration declined to lift them. This was proposed by Senator Milli kin
