Oh, How I Miss You, Dear Old Pals of Mine

THE ABILI
.Mr. Churchill’s Proposal •
"From what I have seen of our Russian
friends and allies during the war. said Win-
ston Churchill Tuesday, "I am convinced that
there is nothing they admire so much as
strength, and there is nothing for which they
have less respect than for military weak-
ness." . .
Whereupon the former prime minister,
probably the greatest Englishman of all time,
virtually advocated a military alliance be-
tween the United States and Great Britain.
He favors “continuance of the intimate re-
lationships between our military advisers,
leading to common study. of potential
dangers, similarity of weapons and manuals
denestruction. and interchange of officers
and cadets at college." Also: "Joint -use of all
naval and air bases in the possession of either
country all over the world."
If this proposed alliance of the English-
speaking peoples seems to be at variance
with Churchill’s declaration that another
war can be avoided only "by reaching now.
in 1946 a good understanding on all points
with Russia under the general authority of
the United Nations Organization," the dis-
crepancy is more apparent than real.
For UNO itself provides for "regional se-
curity pacts." and a pact of that nature be-
tween the U. S. and Britain would not nec-
essarily undermine the authority and pur-
pose of UNO.
Mr. Dewey, in his 1944 campaign, advo-
cated such a military alliance. Many Ameri-
cans—or at least some vociferous American
politicians—have always held the mere sug-
gestion to be anathema.
But actually the English-speaking peoples
ever since the early 1820s have had an un-
written and unspoken, but nevertheless PO-
tent, alliance of the sort proposed by Mr.
Churchill and Mr. Dewey. Whether it is ever
committed to writing probably isn’t impor-
tant: it likely will endure far into the forsee-
able future. Some might argue that it is all
the more potent because it is implied rather
than explicit
In any case the kinship of interests is ob-
vious, and probably indestructible.

Ace In The Hole
Mr. Churchill’s insistence that the secret
of the atomic bomb be jealously guarded
should be read in connecti n with his remark
that the Russian admire strength and despise
weakness.-----------
Our great army is gone. Our great navy
is debilitated Our mighty airforce is only a
shadow of itself. - .
— All we have left is the atomic bomb
long as we have it in sole possession, no na-
t - r Er up f nations is likely to challer ge
us to combat As long as we have sole posses-
sion of the m st destructive military weapon
ever devised we need have no fear that Rus-
sia to be specific, will push matters to the
over the spy scare. To steal the secret of the *
atomic bomb at this time would be to rob
us of our last hope of being able to stand UP €
against any challenge from any source. a
This mighty secret talks where nothing e
else would be heeded. Its mere presence 2
commands that respect for strength which 33
all aggressor nations feel, and without which 2
they know only contempt.
That is putting it bluntly. but we can see
no reason why the American people should
not understand that in a disordered world
our very existence as a free people depends . T
upon our strength. We have thrown away WASHINGTON CALLING
everything but the atomic bomb. W e should •--
guard that weapon with every resource at
our command. for once it is out of our hands
and in the hands of a potential enemy, we
have lost the means of making him respect

Franco Survives
Stripped of its surplus verbiage the U. S.-
Great Britain-France action against Dictator
• Franco of Spain amounts to precisely noth-
ing. It merely asks the Spanish people to oust
the dictator and form a government based
on representation from all political parties.
The French threaten to place the issue be-
• fore UNO and demand definite action. That
would presumably take the form of economic
reprisals. since- not even France advocates
invasion of Spain for the purpose of throw-
ing Franco out
U. S. revelation of Nazi documentary, evi-
dence of Franco’s collar ration with Hitler
offers nothing really new Franc „made no
bones ab ut his 1 ve of Hitler and Muss lini.
He si uld love them—they made him what
he is Twice he was ready t go to war against
the allies. but each time he asked Hitler for
just a little more by way of loot than Hitler
was % lling to pay Hitler told Mussolini
that Franco talked a better war than he
could fight.
The survival of Franco Spain is an ana-
chronism in a world that bled itself white
to get rid of fascism. He is tolerated -only
because certain forces in allied countries,
including our own, are still hipped on the
pre-Munich theory that fascism is the per-
fect answer to communism. and that we can
nurture in our breasts the viper of fascism
with impunity.
Ir fascist Spain and fascist Argentina the
evil forces created by Hitler and Mussolini
hope-to keep alive the dream that Hitler
dreamed—the enslav ement of mankind .The
presence of such a sy stem anywhere on earth
is a constant threat to human liberty.
It will take something more than polite
words to root Franco out of Spain Economic
sanctions could bring his downfall in less
than six months. for fascist Spain lives on
the sufferance of the so-called democracies.
If the democracies really want to destroy
Franco they can do so without firing a shot.

Anti-Spy Laws
Our W eak Spot
By MARQUIS CHILDS
CLINTON, Iowa — The head-
lines reflect events in Iran, Mos-
cow and other far-off places, but
you have to make only two or
three stops here in the midwest
to discover that people are al-
most entirely preoccupied with
concerns much closer to home
The number 1 subject seems
to be housing and the real est
tate boom. In the aftermath of
the war, there is a fast- and,
furious shifting about and re-
settling which absorbs the en-
ergies and attention of a large
part of the population.
There are two sides of the
housing picture as it comes into
the conversation of at least
every other person you talk
with. The first and most exciting
phase is the boom.
You are told about that little
house across the street. on the
narrow lot It’s 22 years old.
and the Smiths paid not more
than 59 500 for it Well. they
sol it the other day for 514 000
The story is repeated over and
over again. Only the figures are
different...
CHANGE HANDS FAST
Some houses change hands two
and three times in a year. with
the real estate dealer turning a
neat profit by just holding the
sale contract for a month or
two You have the feeling that
the soaring market is fast de-
veloping into the kind of boom
which will eventually blow the
roof off
Behind it, of course, is the des-
perate need of millions of fami-
lies in small towns and in cities
for a place to live. That is the
other side of the housing story,
the grim side
You’re renting a small house
that you’ve lived in for 10 years.
The rent stays the same because
of the rent ceiling. But the own-
er comes to you and tells you he
has a chance to sell it for a price
you know to be way out of line.
So you say no A week later
the house is sold. and since it
has been sold to a veteran you
have only three months notice.
The veteran, his wife and two
children have been living witil
two other families in a six room
house.
As rival topics of conversa-
tion you hear of other commodi-
ljes whose scarcity if nothing
else gives, them a faritast C en-
chantment One is nylon stock
ings The nation-wide opsession
over nylons is like nothing since
the crusades in the middle ages.
Women and men. too. stand in
line hours on end waiting for
those bits of filmy gauze. They
are like a piece of the true cross
to a devout Christian, or a
glimpse of mecca to a Moslem.
Stores must take special pre-
cautions to prevent the clamor-
ing mob from doing serious dam-
ages to its members And some-
times these, precautions are in
vain as veterans of the nylon
wars come out with sprained
ankles and broken legs
The automobile is
another
scarce commodity that is
the
source of a lot of conversation.
You want to be sure that you’ll
get your new car ahead of the
other fellow or, at any rate, that
you won’t be far behind him.
300 CAR ORDERS
One dealer here told me he
had 300 orders on his books and
he was afraid he would not be
able to get more than 100 cars
this year He was approached
on the street and offered $1,500
in cash for the 1946 model he is
driving
The people you talk to here
are acutely aware that strikes
have kept down the volume of
production of the things they
want to buy. It feeds, the anti-
labor bias of the rural middle
west.
They are having something
like an industrial boom here in
this Mississippi river town, with
DuPont doubling the capacity of
the cellophane plant already in
operation And one reason, you
are told. is because there is less
unionization here
In millions of pockets extra
dollars are burning holes. Y’et
congress refuses to put on even
a mild brake. such as a ceiling
on the sale of houses which
might help to keep boom within
bounds.
It is hard to understand. es-
pecially when you remember
what the land boom did out here
after the last war It was the
cause of infinite heartbreak and
misery. And it can happen
again

had to be tried under the C 5

the death penalty But it took a

“Dear General: Your letter
has me misty-eyed. You say that
you are 23 years old, in the Air
Corps, and that it took you a
year and a half from the day of
your „ enlistment to become a
brigadier general. I know that
that year and a half took a great
deal out of you, what with hav-
ing to change your insignia so
often. No wonder the rumor that
you soon are to be reduced to
the permanent grade of second
lieutenant has made you irrita-
ble, nervous, rundown, unable to
digest your food properly, and
subject to giddy spells. My ad-
vice to you is to retire. gain
the love of some sweet. under-
standing, and very rich girl who
can keep you in the style to
which you have become accus- -
tomed. and spend your declin-
ing years learning how to do the
things you missed while you
were a general, such as shooting
marbles. skinning the cat. rid-
ing a bicycle without touching
the handlebars, and mastering
the cap pistol."
INFORMATION PLEASE
“Dear Sir." writes a recently
discharged infantryman. "while
in the Army I developed a fond-
ness for the GI type of haircut.
Since being mustered out, I have
been unable to find a barber
who will give me that sort of
haircut Do you know of one?
If not, do you think I could give
myself the kind of trim 1 want?"
There are several ways of at-
taining the type of haircut this
ex-soldier desires. One way is to
go to the nearest 700 and bribe
the attendant who - cuts the
manes of the lions and the coats
of the yaks to work on your
head when he has finished with
the animals. Another way is to
shut yourself in a dark closet
and poke your head into an elec-
tric fan that is turned to top
speed. Still another way to
achieve the Gl effect is to emp-
ty a two-pound sack of grain on
your head, take a seat in Cen-
tral Park. and allow the pigeons
and squirrels to give you a
working over. As a last resort,
there is re-enlistment.
FAMILY TROUBLE
From Portland, Oregon, there
comes this request for advice:
“Dear Sir: My wife was a
Wave! and it looks as if she
were going to be a permanent
Wave. She has been out of serv-
ice for many months now, but
she still talks as if we were liv-
ing on a battleship. Everything is
fo ard and aft starboard and
port, and topside. She calls the
kitchen a galley, and when she
goes out she goes ashore and
when she comes back she comes
aboard. She secures for the night,
and speaks of the latest scuttle-
butt in the neighborhood. What
can I do to pipe her down? See.
it’s getting me too."
To me, you have no problem
at all. You can easily break her
of that by making her skipper
of the house, in sole charge, and
completely responsible for the
welfare of her crew. Anything
that goes wrong is her fault.
Make all your gifts to her of a
nautical nature. A parrot at
Christmas, a book on knot-tying
on her birthday, and a pair of
second hand skivvy shirts on your
wedding anniversary. She’ll soon
come around If she doesn’t-
well, mutiny, throw her in the
brig, and try running the ship
yourself
