Russia protested against Italian
membership in the north Atlantic

participation was a violation of a

and other allies after the war that
she would join in no alliance di-

“DmI May Oaf A Nine”
Apparently a number of golfers
are getting much slower than they
were some time ago.
Just as we were trying to work
up a message, the following ar-
rived from F.A.W., an eminent
Jgolfer and also a hot rooter for
(Michigan's football team against
all comers.
This seems to cover the field
completely—
! “People love golf and I love peo-
ple, and so today’s remarks are
addressed to the genial host of
high handicap golfers. God bless
’em; without them there would be
no huh green fairways, bordered
with sky blue lakes and stately
pine trees; no healthful and beau-
tiful outdoors brought to your door-
step. They are the majority.
"Frequently they, or rather you,
play with low handicappers, busi-
ness associates and other friends,
and suffer mental anguish because
you know they would prefer play-
fag with better golfers. You are
definitely right, but for an en-
tirely different reason than you
think. Seventy and low 80 shooters
do not mind if you carve out a
neat 105, but when you bother their
game by not observing the simplest
rules, they feel like crowning you
with a niblick—and you do not
always observe them.
"A good golfer only wants to be
permitted to play his own game,
undisturbed. Here are a few sug-
gestions:
(1) . "Do not delay the game.
This Is the most common
fault, and this alone is
enough to ruin the concen-
tration of other members
of your foursome.
(a) "Be in a position to
play when it comes
your turn.
(b) "Do not take a lot of
practice strokes; pre-
ferably none.
(e) "Do not painstakingly
play out a nine or
other high score when
you are completely out
of the contest. Piek
up. Others want to get
on with the game.
<d> "Do net ask everyone
fa your foursome what
elab to use.
(2) . "Be quiet, motionless and
look at the player address-
ing the baU until be has
played.
(3) . "Many duffers cuss out
their own mistakes, loud,
long and continuously.
Don’t do it. Others are
trying to eoaeetrate on
their own game."

ATOM DATA:
England's Needs
Reports say the administration
has investigated the possibilities
of sharing atom-bomb secrets with
Britain by executive agreement
without action by congress. Some
law-makers have sought to tie the
President’s hands.
The idea has been discussed but
no decision has been reached to
carry it through. It is considered
a matter of the senate-house atom-
ic committee, the state depart-
ment, the armed services and the
atomic energy commission. A
secret meeting at Blair House was
thought to have been called by
Truman to discuss the matter.
The United Kingdom and Cana-
da co-operated in atomic develop-
ment during the war and are be-
lieved to know all about the war-
time bomb. The atomic energy
law of 1946 has forbidden further
exchange of information.
Some sources say Great Britain
can produce an atom bomb of its
own if it decides to concentrate on
the problem.
Britain may have threatened
the United States with loss of
uranium ore from British-owned
Belgian Congo mines if the U.S.
refuses to yield atomic secrets.
Britishers have been resentful
that their observers were not al-
lowed at the Eniwetok bomb test.
Roosevelt established the prece-
dent of presidential co-operation
with Britain in things atomic with-

The Big Serpriw
There have been a flock of great
ballplayers around New York and
Brooklyn in the last two days. Their
tongues, as usual, were busy. The
first topic was Joe DiMaggio and
his spectacular return to his best
form with no chance to get in top
shape.
The second topic was the amazing
slump of Stan Musial, one of the
great ballplayers of all time.

INCOMES:
Profits Decline
Net corporation income, accord-
ing to the securities and exchange
commission dropped to an esti-
mated two billion, 400 million dol-
lars after taxes, in the first quar-
ter of this year.
THIS INCOME, was approxi-
mately 16 per cent below the prof-
its for the corresponding quarter
of 1948 and 18 per cent below the
preceding quarter.
The drop in sales, the report
said, more than offset lower costs
and expenses.
Experiencing the largest declines
in net earning were the large cor-
porations. These lower profits were
said to have been reflected in low-
er rates of return on stockholder's
equities.
The SEC reported: “The ratio
of profits after taxes to stockhold-
ers’ equity for corporations over
100 million dollars in assets
dropped from an annual rate of
18 per cent in the fourth quarter
of 1948 to 14.4 per cent in the first
quarter this year.”
SMALLEST-SIZE CLASS corpor-
ations with less than $250,000 in as-
sets showed an increase from a
small loss to 8.4 per cent.
All but two of 22 industry groups
showed declines in profits after
taxes from the fourth quarter of
1948 to the first of 1949.
ARMISTICE:
Israel-Syria Accord
Syria and Israel have signed an
armistice agreement that will keep
their military forces behind their
international frontiers and estab-
lished demilitarized zones in the
contested areas.
THE CEREMONY, taking place
between the Israeli and Syrian
fighting lines in north Galilee, will
lead, it is hoped, to an early settle-
ment of issues between Israel and
the Arab states in the Lausanne,
„ Clean out U>« stomach and the

late the bile. See the difference. It works.
i / 1
Israel has signed armistices with
all the Arab countries that took
part in the Palestine conflict—
Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordon and
Syria.
The agreement is another tribute
to the skill of Dr. Ralph Bunche,
UN mediator, and Brig. Gen. Wil-
liam E. Riley, US chief of staff.
IT HAS been agreed that un-
restricted civil life may be re-
sumed in the demilitarized zones
pending final peace negotiations
when an international boundary
will be clearly defined.
The agreement calls for the
withdrawal of defensive forces to
a line three and a half miles deep
on either side of the armistice
line. This keeps the Arab legion
and the Israeli troops out of gren-
ade-tossing distance of each other.
GUATEMALA:
Rebellion Off
A military revolt in Guatemala
against the government of Pres-
ident Juan Jose Arevalo died out.
Calm spread over the capital after
24 hours of fighting that followed
the assassination of Col. Francisco
Javier Arana, chief of the armed
forces.
FORT GUARDIA DE HONOR,
the seat of the revolt, was regained
by loyal troops and civilian vol-
unteers. All fighting ceased.
Forty persons were reported
killed, according to the police di-
rector. No United States citizens
were among the casualties.
Observers said the colonel was
killed because he refused to lead
an uprising against the govern-
ment, and then his death was used
as an excuse to attack the govern-
ment.
Among those fighting were many
who belonged to a political party
backing Arana for president. All
state ministers were loyal to the
president.
THE GOVERNMENT armed
large groups of civilians for the
battle against the rebels.
Several United States
were endangered by the fighting
but none were injured.

RRANNAN PLAN:
Loses Trial
The house approved a measure
continuing the farm ’price-support
program in its present form. The
bill was slated to go to the senate.
The house vote was 383-25.
The retention of the 90 per cent
of parity supports killed the Aiken
taw, passed by the Republican-
controlled 80th congress and which
was scheduled to go into effect
Jan. 1.
The administration gained a par-
tial victory in eliminating the
Aiken law but saw defeat in being
denied a test run of the controver-
sial Brannan agricultural plan.
Under the Brannan plan, perish-
able crops would be allowed to sell
at what the market would pay;
then the government would pay
the farmers the difference between
the support level and the average
price the farmers got.
The Pace bill, which embodied
provisions for a trial run on three
farm products of the Brannan
plan, lost out, 222-152.
A substitute for the Pace bill,
the Gore measure, suspending the
Aiken law and continuing the pres-
ent farm program, won by a final
vote 383-25.
One of the surprises of the ses-
sion was the very few votes cast
to keep the Aiken law alive.
Corridors of the bouse office
building where the meeting was
held were filled with lobbyists for
various farm organizations. Police
had the area roped off.
Democratic Leader McCormack
(Mass.) argued that opponents of
the Pace bill were obligated to of-
fer some kind of alternative.
“I’m concerned about the con-
sumer,” he said. “When he reads
about millions of bushels of pota-
toes being burned under the pres-
ent farm program, he wants to
know what’s wrong.”
WARNING:
Pact Okayed
Russia received avwarning that
any further aggression in Europe
will be considered an attack upon
the United States. The warning
came in the form of an 82-13 rati-
fication of the Atlantic pact by the
senate.
It was the first time in American
history that a peacetime pledge
had been made that the United
States will take action (military
action, if necessary) if certain
other nations are attacked.
UNDER the north Atlantic treaty
this nation and 11 other nations
pledge that an attack upon one will
be considered an attack upon all.
The pact also pledges that the 12
members of the treaty shall pre-
pare for mutual defense before the
need for military action actually
arises.
A small minority waged bitter
opposition to the pact during the
13 days of senate debate upon it.
Three Republicans, Wherry of Ne-
braska, Taft of Ohio and Watkins
of Utah, tried to write a reserva-
tion into the treaty, specifying that
ratification did not impose upon
the United States the moral or
legal obligation to supply arms to
the other 11 signers.
The heavy vote for ratification
and the. impressive vote against
arms reservations were victories
for the senate bipartisan foreign
policy. Only two Democrats voted
against ratification—Johnson o f
Summer Cata$troph$$
Summer is not a time when the
American public likes to worry
about world problems. Nor is sum-
mer a time when a newspaper
columnist particularly likes to
write about them.
For reasons unknown, however,
fate has seen to it that some of the
world's worst catastrophes were
catapulted upon us at a time when
our primary concern was baseball,
beaches, and bathing beauties.
It was July, 1914, that the Serbs
saw fit to assassinate Austrian
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, thus
precipitating World War I. It was
the summer of 1938 that Hitler
started his campaign to swallow
Czechoslovakia. It was the fol-
lowing summer of 1939 that began
World War II. And, perhaps even
more significant, it was the sum-
mer of 1931 that began the Euro-
pean economic crisis that put
Hitler into power.
There are certain similarities be-
tween that financial crisis of 1931
and the present British financial
crisis. Arid, despite baseball and
hot weather, it will pay us to watch
them.
Between 19tl and 1931, the
United States had poured sev-
eral billion dollars into Euro-
pean reconstruction in the
same general way we have
poured money into Europe
since V-E day. The money, of
course, was advanced by pri-
vate bankers, not the govern-
ment; but since the bankers
sold their bonds to the unsus-
pecting public, actually it was
paid by the American people
in the end.
Furthermore, much of our money
went to Germany, which actually
used it to pay reparations to
France and England. So, in real
fact, we were the main support of
our allies, just as we are today
through the Marshall plan.
Eventually, and all too slowly,
even the bankers, after repeated
warnings from the government,
woke up to the fact that their
long-term loans to central Europe
were a poor risk. And in the spring
of 1931, falling prices in the U.S.A,
plus the continued crashing of the
famed market, dried up the flow
of funds across the Atlantic. Im-
mediately the banks in Austria and
Germany began to tremble.
It was the British in 1931—as in
1949—who first called upon the
U.S.A. for aid. Their money, per-
haps even more than ours, was in-
vested in central Europe; so they
asked for a moratorium on all
reparations by Germany to them
and all war-debt payments by
them to us.
Then as now, the secretary of
the treasury, Andrew Mellon,
crossed the Atlantic for confer-
ences. Then as now, the British
urged that the United States save
the day.
We did—for the time being.
President Hoover declared a mora-
torium on all debit and reparations
payments — for two years.
This, however, was only tem-
porary. The economic crisis drifted
—drifted and deepened. With de-
pression comes political unrest.
And one year later a fuehrer had
raised his head in Germany,
few months after that, he had
stepped into power.
All disarmament stopped,
league of nations began to disinte-
grate. It was now only a matter of
time before war was inevitable.
There are a lot of differences
between the first cracks in the
world’s economy in 1931 and
the first cracks to show in
1949. Bnt the main object les-
son to be remembered is: De-
pression breeds unrest, and
enough unrest breeds war.
Today England—and western
Europe is in just about the same
boat—faces the following alterna-
tives:
1. Do nothing and go broke.
2. Beg for more aid from the
United States and become a poor
pensioner.
3. Improve plants and produc-
tion. This has not been done to any
great extent with Marshall plan
money, despite outmoded factories
which make most European goods
cost more than ours.
4. Negotiate tight, two-way bar-
ter deals, such as the British-Ar-
gentine trade pact; though these
usually boomerang in the end.
8. Trade with Russia and the iron
curtain countries.
The latter alternative is the one
which has recently tempted the
British to the tune of a 1,000,000-ton
wheat deal. It also contains dan-
gerous potentialities for under-
mining the chief political objective
of the Marshall plan—blocking
Communism. For it is doubtful
whether any member of congress
would have voted a nickel into the
Marshall plan kitty without the
promise that It would check the
westward march of Russian Com-
munism.
British trade with Russia wouM
strain western relations.
The Pennant Makin
•THE NATIONAL LEAGUE is a
baseball circuit where prac-
tically all the pennant playing
lately has been by the Cardinals
and the Dodgers.
Once in a rare while some Inter-
loper, such as the Braves of 1948,
breaks into the picture. But for
the greater part of the time it is
the Cardinals and the Dodgers
rolling together down the stretch.
Once they get into the world
series the Cardinals are a far dif-
ferent team. The
mmmmmmb Cards have won a
| flock of such post-
season pastorals
whlle the
have yet to come
safely through.
O But they can stir
up a lot of dust
rising.
'-'h ’ In the last eight
years only the Cubs
Grantlud Rice and Braves have
each slipped through once, prob-
ably when the Cardinals and
Dodgers were not looking. Now we
get the same story in the steamy
year of 1949. The Braves and Phil-
lies may be rated a chance, but
the bet is that either Dodgers or
Cardinals will take over the Aug-
ust and September stretch.
Last spring it looked as if the
Natkmal League would have
maeh the better race. Now
with the Athletics and the Red
Sex still busy, with Cleveland’s
Indians begianing to aet in a
hostile manner again, the AX.
race may be much the better
■hew.
It is about time the other six
dubs in the National picked up
more steam. The crash of the
Pirates was a heavy disappoint-
ment, as much of a jolt as the
downfall of the Red Sox was up
through July Fourth. The main
idea seems to be that anything can
still happen in baseball.

The British acted swiftly in the
face of rioting and shooting, seiz-

er was broken in the city.

mixed together—a Chinese city
and a British city.
