Order For
Paris—The long-awuitsd signa-
ture of Secretary of Agriculture
Charles Brannon was pinned Fri-
day on a federal milk marketing 1
order for the Dallaa-Ft. Worth
mllk-productlng area, including
Paris.
Troy Kern, Lake Creek dairy-
man and president of the 30-coun-
ty North Texas Producers Associ-
ation that asked for the order,
disclosed Saturday that Secretary
Brannan signed the order Friday.
“It is essentially the same or-
der we asked for," Kern said,
“except the $2.26 differential in
costs of production requested was
reduced to $2, and a few other
changes were made.”
There will be a 16-day waiting
period for any objections, after
which an election will be called.
Thet order will require a two-
thirds vote of approval by the
2,400 grade A producers in the

ONOAY, MAY 14, 1951.
By Led Anavi, A-P Writer.
That is the way it will be In the
larger problem of world peace.
Unless we are very lucky we shad
be in for inumerable disappoint-
ments. But we shall achieve our
purpose in the end if we have
the patience and the fortitude.
Those were the great qualities of
the founders of the Republic;
patience and fortitude.
There is nothing more frustrat-
ing, more exasperating, than a
gadget that doesn’t work. Most of
us have had some experience along
that line. A car that has been
humming for months suddenly
.'•tops humming. There’s some-
thing wrong with it, but no one
knows exactly what it is.
The same applies to ice boxes,
automatic furnaces, and large and
small engines. It applies to cigar
lighters, vacuum cleaners, egg
beaters, toasters and the like.
Some gimmick goes wrong and the
owner feels quite put upon.
For this is the country of effi-
ciency, automatic controls, self-
straters, mechanical shovelers,
moving stairways and other time-
saving and energy-saving devices.
We believe in robots. We believe
in inslaving the machine, and that
is a very good thing.
But it can be pushed too far.
We mu.-t not pdt too much faith
in the marhinV We must not suc-
cumb to mechanistic arguments.
We must not be fooled by the
thinking machines scientists boast
about.
There is no such thing. There is
a point at which human nature
ceases to be mechanistic. Man has
a soul, and a mood, and a temper.
Man is a3 unpredictable as na-
ture and woe to those who believe
that a robot can do their think-
ing for them.
It is sad but true that most
of our theories on foreign policy
have followed the mechanistic
pattern. We have lined up so
many lead soldiers, so many tanks,
so many planes, and we have
evolved a sort of mechanical law
on their value in an argument.
They have a value. They have
immense value. But to depend up-
on them alone is to invite frustra-
tion and maybe disaster. Weap-
ons are not an end unto them-
selves. Numbers alone cannot wir.
a w»r or a competition. There are
odHf factors, perhaps more ini-
poC^t factors.
There is strategy, for instance.
There is also faith in one’s cause
—what they call “morale" now-
adays. There is the problem of
convincing the masses of the world,
that the Western nations are deep-
ly concerned with social welfare,
with political and economic demo-
cracy.
As the great debate on foreign
policy proceeds, we must ask our-
selves whether this country has
kept up with its tradition and prin-
ciples. We must ask ourselves
whether we have done everything
that should be done to maintain
our moral and political leader-
ship.
It was a brave course that we
traced several years ago when we
found out that the Russians were
intent on dominating most of the
world. We didn’t have to stick
our necks out. We could have
counted on many years of spen-
did isolation.
We decided to give up compar-
ative safety for something better,
nobler. We decided to gamble our
future on the prouosition that
wat> could he abolished — on the
tion that this could be
1 better would to live In.
We approved of the plan trac-
ed by our policy makers. It sound-
ed reasonable and logical and me-
chanical. But it didn’t quite Work
out. The perfect instrument prov-
ed slightly unwieldy. And because
the perfect plan hasn’t worked
put perfectly, we are frustrates
and ill at ease.
That is not the way to do jus-
tice to ourselves. Wc can see
through our own historical exper-
ience that political progress can’t
be achieved by mechanistic means.
It takes a lot of doing and argu-
ing, and compromising, and may-
be fighting.
There is nothing mechanical
about our development as a na-
tion. Our souls were tried and our
minds were harried. We braved
the elements and we braved fate.
There has always been in the
American consciousness a quality
of purpose — a desire to limit
and a desire to expand — and i
desire to tend to our own gar-
den and a desire to go far afield
in search of new responsibilities.
No nation that has grown power-
ful and respected can escape this
double personality. But it started
with u» long ago, even before
we had our eyes in the direction
of the West and the Southwest.
There were always Americans
who looked for new frontiers,
there were always Americans who
were satisfied with the frontiers
they had, and there was always a
conflict between the two.
In a way, much of the present
debate oq foreign policy has to
do with the American destiny.
Territorial considerations are a
thing of the past. This country
needs no new frontiers in that
sense. It is cenccmed today with
political and moral and economic
frontiers. ,
Again we have two concepts,
two philosophies, and again we
have a nation-wide debate. There
are those who would prefer that
this country tend to its own gar-
den and avoid the duties of world
leadership, and there are those
who want this country to have a
dominant voice in the planning for
the future of this planet.
The quarrel is with isolationism,
only many people have not quite
understood it this-way. The Mac-
Arthur incident has no place in
the argument since the general is
not now and never was an iso-
lationist.
MacArthur has no patience with
the idea that we should accept a
stalemate in Korea till the Chinese
get tired of the experiment. He
thinks that a great and powerful
country like the United States
cannot allow Communist China to
impose the rules in Korea. That
makes sense as a proposition in
itself. Unfortunately though,
there is not a nation-to-nation af-
fair. There are two camps, two
alliances. The American giant is
leading the western alliance, and
the Russian giant is leading the
Eastern bloc. And that complicates
the picture. It changes certain
values. It deprives us of the sta-
tus of free agents.
This country is not a free agent
in Korea. It is furnishing most
of the effort as a member and an
agent of the United Nations. Any
decision to extend the war must
have the approval of our allies.
We could dispense with the ad-
vice and approval of our allies.
There is no question about our
power to bring China to its knees
by our own efforts. This may not
be to the liking of pur friends,
but we could take a chance on
that, too.
There’s Another facet, however.
There’s Russia to contend with
if we decide to go it alone agarnst
China. The Russians may then de-
cide that this is the time to eli-
minate their most formidable op-
ponent.
The odds in such a conflict
would still be in our favor, but
they would be much greater if
we had allies fighting alongside
us. That is a factor which cannot
be dismissed. We must take our
time before we embark on drastic
measures. MacArthur’s strategy
may have to be adopted in the
end, but it may be to the best In-
terests of this country to wait
and see whether the present
course will %gield results.
It appears that our friends in

Europe are very puzzled and some-
what hurt by the great debate. It
isn’t the issue that has bothered
them. Many of them have agreed
all along with General MacArthur
that wars cannot be allowed to
stagnate. It’s the discovery that
a large segment of the American
public is less interested in Europe
than in the Far East.
Every great nation has tended
to develop in one direction. For
decades past, the German empire
has been gravitating toward the
East. Long before Hitler spoke of
“doom to live and breathe,” the
German political thinkers laid
down the principles of “expansion
to the East.” They even coined a
phrase about it. “Attraction to the
East,” they called it.
This German impulse or senti-
ment may have been fabricated.
Propaganda is a powerful lever,
and the Germans have been the
victims of propaganda for gene-
rations.
But other nations come by such
impulses naturally. This is unde-
niably the case in this country.
For generations now we have look-
ed to the West, to the Pacific, as
the expanding frontier. The urge
to migrate to the West and be-
yond is still with us — very much
so.
Politically speaking, many
Americans are done with Western
Europe. They may be sentimental
about the old sod and the old
world, but they think the future
for them lies in the Pacific.
It took a lot of selling on the
part of our policy makers to get
us interested in an Atlantic de-
fense pact. We accepted the idea
purely on itu.merits and without
noticeable elation. But some eyes
continued to strain toward the
Pacific, and it was very disap-
pointing to see China and other
areas fall under the spell of Com-
munism.
It should be kept in mind that
most Americans accepted ‘the
idea of an Atlantic Alliance only
on a temporary basis. In the back
of their consciousness they con-
tinued to hope that the nations
of Western Europe would unite
some day and thus he in a position
to defend the ramparts of West-
ern Europe.
Perhaps it’s a good thing that
Europeans are finding out about
our real attitude as a people. We
still have great kinship with the
peoples of Western Europe, but
we also realize that the world
is round, and has other impor-
tant areas elsewhere.
Then again there’s the develop-
ment of this hemisphere. We do
live in this hemisphere and w?
cannot neglect it forever. We have
no intention of retiring into our
shell and going back to isolation-
ism. That theory has been explod-
ed by the logic of developments.

sociation members may be voted
as a block, approval seems eertain.
As proposed, the hearing order
will:
Make the NTPA a handler of
milk and permit it to put auditors,
testers and weightera into the milk
plants.
Prevent the milk plants from
buying outside the state without
first paying the highest class price
for locally produced milk. The
effect would be to prevent the
milk plants from buying North
Texas milk at surplus prices while
shipping in out-of-state milk.
A federal market administrator
would be appointed for the Dallas-
Fort Worth milkshed who would
have authority to set minimum
prices, audit milk plant books, and
put his testers and weighers into
plants inside milk plants. The post
is expected to pay $8,000 and up-
wards.
Formal issuance of the federal
milk order will bring more than

tion areas under federal control
