ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual, National and Inter national Problems Inseparable From Local Welfare The main purpose of any military force, naturally, is to fight if it has to, and to maintain itself in a state of constant readiness for whatever is to come. However, on occasion, the fighting arms can be used as an instrument of high dip lomacy as well. They can implement and advance, by purely peaceful means, the policies decided upon in Washington in this time of delicate internatioal balance. As everyone knows, military figures have been called upon to fill a number of positions of vast importance, which norm ally would be held by civilians. General Smith, who was Eisenhower’s brilliant Chief of Staff, represents us in Mos cow. General Marshall, the architect of our war strategy, holds the most vital and most difficult job in the nation next to the Presidency. General Clay carries the burden of re sponsibility for us in Germany. General MacArthur is prac tically all-powerful in Japan. Officers of the U. S. Navy have been entrusted with the complex task of administering :the Pacific Islands and strengthening the primitive economies' • of their peoples, which in many instances wrere disrupted by •the last war. There has been much argument, pro and con, concerning "the wisdom of giving men, whose sole prior experience has been in the profession of arms, such appointments as these. The American tradition is that the military shall be apart from and subservient to the civil authority. Regardless of that, almost everyone agrees that the soldiers and sailors have •done exceptional work. There are no saber rattlers among those in the key spots. And they have all shown the qualities of mind, character and decision that are new necessary'. So much for individuals. How an actual military body can be used to forward our diplimatic policy is vividly de scribed by Demaree Bess in a recent Saturday Evening Post article. Called “Our Navy in Striped Pants,” it tells how our big task force in the Mediterranean has turned it into an American lake—and has done it without land bases, without .straining our ties with other countries, and without getting us ttoo deeply involved in the internal affairs of Western Europe. The attitude that governs this mission was obliquely expressed to Mr. Bess by a chief petty officer of long ex perience. “In the war, every sailor was a fighter,” he said. "Now thy tell us we are diplomats, and it is our business to friendly with foreigners.” This is pretty largely true—though our Mediterranean task force, like all other naval units, is always in readiness dor trouble. Today, our foreign commitments are greater and ;morf involved than ever. We are the leader of a Western • bloc erf large and small powers which is being cemented ot rgetherin opposition to the Soviet Union’s Eastern bloc. In Mr. <2ess* accurate phrase, “Our Navy is the visible symbol -.of our participation.” ,This is a ticklish business, but the Navy seems to be ex ■ ecuting it effectively and with tact. Visits to foreign ports are always arranged for well in advance. If the local authorities feel that a visit would be impolotoc at any time, it is canceled • and the fleet goes somewhere else. Now and then, a govern • ment will request a visit on some particular occasion, and the XiasTc force, obliges. American officers are careful to avoid political discussions •when they gather ashore, with their counterparts from Italy, France, Greece and the other countries. Shop talk—the prob lems that are common to every navy—dominates. This makes it possible for people of all points of view to get along fairly ^amicably. As Mr. Bess points out, there are times when “our Medit erranean task force is required to show a sterner aspect.” A while ago, for instance, bomber and fighter planes from the carrier Midway flew over and around the principal cities of Italy They did this for three successive days, returning to their floating base between trips. This show of American strength was, of course, of great service to an Italian government which was trying to stop the communists. Mr. Bess sums up our great naval policy in the Mediter ranean in these words:. . . .“first, to show Europeans that we <do not intend to dessert them while they are comparative!} helpless; second, to treat them in the meantime as allies, not as dependers. That policy has worked well, and our naval com manders see no reason to believe that it will' not work equally well in the future. ” The nation recently witnessed another and somewhat dif ferent kind of military diplomacy when the Russians made their effort to drive us out of Berlin without actually going to war. A weak and vacillating American commander might have let the Russians succeed; a firebrand might have chosen a course leading direct to the consequences. General Clay, a almost everyone seems to agree, acted flawlessly. He made no threats—but he was completely firm. He made it clear, in pol ite language, that we would remain in Berlin unless we were pushed out by force. He won. This concept of diplomacy through the military in a new thing in the United States—at least ,on so large a scale. But it seems to be here to stay. Alcohol From Bananas Alcoholic beverages have been ^nade from bananas. Some years ■ ago banana whisky experiments were conducted injGuatemala.
