By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign News Analyst
Out of London comes two items of news which,
it taken in Juxtaposition, demand a pause for ser-
ious consideration
1 Informed British sources say England Is pre-
paring to hand over to the United States the re-
sponsibility lor lefense of the Mediterranean and
the Middle East It merely ineu.is loiat the U S.
defends tin m
2 The Sunday Empire News • laaidon > staled
that II e British cabinet was considering a Rus-
sian ofier to trade grain and industrial raw ma-
terials ioi British-made Jet planes and leehinical
scientific piocesses The newspaper said "The
loundation ioi the gigantic barter was laid by
Foreign Minister Bevm at the Moscow conferen-
ces ' We had heard of this Soviet grain offer be-
fore
Another newspaper. The PePople, said: “Inside
vip ot diplomatic experts is tthal Mr Bevui will
pull oft a surprise deal with Russia in the next six
month'- And it mav be one that will cause con-
sternation in America ’'
As already indicated, taken at face value and
studied together, these two stories don't look so
good One gets a picture of Uncle Sam holding the
sack
Of course we have long known that Britain was
abandoning its chief Mediterranean defenses and
was establishing Its main base in East Africa. We
li.ive known too. that the United States was to
assume defensive responsibilities in the Eastern
Mediterranean.
However, it's news to the general American
public that tlxe U S Ls expected to take over the
mighty navy Still, if that's the arrangement which
Britain dominated for so many decades with her
mighty nevy Still, if that's the arrangement which
Washington and London think beat, there wouldn't
be so much cause for concern if it weren't for
that seiond item of news about the possibility of
Britain casting her lot with Russia in a big deal
which may cause "consternation in America."
Naturally it remains to be seen whether Mr
Bcvin will carry out such a transaction and there-
by purchase a place in the Red Camp
One can only say at this Juncture that it would
be most extraordinary if this ally thus should
play botn end: against the middle For this reason
I think we must decline to accept such a thing as
a likelihood, pending developments.

And Farms Larger
By JAMES MARinW
WASHINGTON, May 20- ,47 You vc heard
this Farm workers are fewer and farms are get-
ting bigger and fewer It's true But why?
City life city Jobs and better pay have drawn
farm worker:
And since machines do the work ot many men
bigger and ta tter farm machinery has meant le-»s
need fo- farm hands
Thanks to the machines and better farming
methods, bigger farms can be worked better than
many small larnis formerly could be with man-
power.
Here's the story as told by flguie.s from the
-Agriculture Department-
Wh'-re posslb'e the yars used are 1910-14. the
pre-World Wat I period and 1946, the first year
after World War IL
The average number of farm workers:
1910-14—12 052 000, when total U S population
was 91 000 000
1946 10,012.000, when total U S population was
140.000,000.
So tile number of (arm workers dropped more
than 2 000.000
The average number of farms:
1910-1^ 6.400.000
1 1946 5 900.000
That drep of fOOOOO tn the number of farms
might make it seem less farmland was being
worked Not so
Land under cultivation:
1910-14—310.566.000 acre*.
1946 34u 773,000 acres
Thus while the number of individual farms
dropjx'd and total farming land increasel. the size
of Larnis U.creasrxi
Avcr. gc size of farms:
1910-14 138 acres,
1945 194 acres,
But what of the value of the crops farmers
produced?
Cash receipts or the money farmers got
their ptoducts:
$’0,220,000 000
623.900.000.000
Of the $23,900,000 000 in cash receipts In 1946,
$906 000,000 came from government stib-
expenses. of

l’t the atom, foreign relations, labor,
£1 that get a congressman down,
_.ep. Fred Bradley of Michigan. It
isn't debate, committee work, constituents’
demaQdf, or the study of new legislation
No, iUfsJ the endless round of wining and
dining after hours that kills’ em.
Mr. Bradley paints a pitiful picture of
daily 'invitations to cocktail parties and
dinnem—and several on Sunday. Most of
them dhe must turn down for his health's
sake. Even so, he says, “the strain on us
physically and mentally is hardly imag-
inable. to the folks liack home.”
How true. And it must be particularly
hard to imagine for veterans who were
called; upon to risk their lives day after
day in combat. They only had to fight one
war, gnd some of them went reluctantly.
But Mr. Bradley whose devotion to public
duty makes him heedless of its deadly
risks, is now serving his fifth term in Con-
gress—of his own free will
We "don’t know how he stands it. Boy,
another,crying towel.
New Millennium
Th(» Veterans’ Administration figures it
will probably have World Wai II pension-
ers on its books until the year 2030. And
suddenly we realize that the 1000s are
almost half over, and that soon much of
the wbrld will start looking towaid the
21st Century.
Thit looking ahead has been going on,
of codrse, ever since man liegan dividing
time krbitrarily into hundreds and frac-
tons thereof. The view is challenging and
promising to those who will see the turn-
ing piint, and a bit sad for us actual or
potential old duffers who won't. Those
emotions are heightened when man begins
a new*millennium.
Eariy Christians were confident that the
world .would come to a^end in 1000 A. D.
They ^probably decided that man would
have fcone about'as far as he could. We
can sympathize with their feeling. A new
thousand years may only be a trick of
arithmetic, but they’re an incomprehen-
sible responsibility to those who start
them, and a disappointment to those who
will miss the start.
Right of Succession
In A New York City suburb 10 employes
of a news distributing company have been
fired because they do not belong to a news-
paper deliverers' union. They are willing
and eAger to join, but they can’t. The rea-
son: They are not sons of unipij merrjbers.
The union and the news company have
a contract which sets up not only a closed
shop but a closed uniori. The right of suc-
cession is as fixed and unshakable as in
the days of absolute monarchies.
This is a trivial story. No doubt the men
will find other work. But still, it is rather
an interesting tale at a time when we are
being told that any change in existing la-
bor laws and practices will mean the end
of all. workers’ rights, the downfall of
democracy, and the beginning of American
fascism. • i .<*■
