GROUNDS FOR TROUBLE A cup of coffee, we are fast finding out, is in- ternational politics as well as a good drink Coffee has been Brazil's most important export But from October 1 to November 28 last, Bragil was able to export only 3.2 percent of the quota set by’ the United States, according to a dispatch from Rio ‘de Janeiro. Other countlies, both in Latin America and abroad, have averaged 7.6 percent of theéir quotas—and Brazil doesn’t like it. So Brazilian shippers have offered two practical solutions. Ore boats ledving the country sail abont half empty because of the weight of the cargo. They suggest that the ore boats load, say, 1,000 less tons of ore and take on 1,000 tons of coffee, which means 15,000 bags. Also, ships returning empty from Da- kar could detour by way of Brazil with little loss of time. We don’t know the answer. But we believe ship- ping authorities in Washington should give careful consideration to the Rio plan. Brazil is the only country on the mainland of South America that has declared war on Germany and Italy. We want to keep her a satisfied Ally. Striking the President By Defaming His Sons (Philadelphia Record) Seldom has the House of Representatives heard a more vicious attack than that made upon two of the President’s four sons in the service, James and Franklin Roosevelt, Jr. Go-Round o (Continued from Page One) | Under the | overcautious, pre resolute « action. de- | | system which pre- | in Russia | months ‘of the war, the Red gen-|{total population of thé city, but|{wi hea, erals -were responsible to the, poli- | the number of Jews Trenton “em'rcconstruchun days ‘living condi- | |tical commissars. This .made them |to the service is 8.4 percent of her | |tions will- be ! The poison tongue was that of Representative William P. Lambertson, Republican, of Kansas. Here is what he said: | “I have information that he (James) was jerked from Guadalcanal immediately after the Marines entered that place. Early in December, a second |son, Franklin, left the battlefront in North Africa land spent four days in a Philadelphia hospital with a slight cold. I an¥ asking, is it true that two sons |of the Presjdent have been jerked from the battle- | fronts by the Commander-in-Chief?” This sort of tirade provides its own answer. It st 50 obviously Born of hatred and malice, that it |should be unnecessary to observe that James Roose- velt was hospitalized last fall for a stomach ailment 'which was almost fatal, four years ago; and that {Franklin Roosevelt has suffered severely from | catarrhal fever. Both these sons of the President have distin- guished themselves in active military service. Both have been fighting in zones where they risked their lives day in and day out. James was one of the leaders of the raid on | Makin Island, for which he was cited for bravery. Franklin, Jr, was a gunnery officer on a destroyer |during the North African invasion The President could have kept both of them out of the line of fire. He didn’t. He didn't because he | knew that his sons wanted to serve their country, | as the sons of other parents do; and he and Mrs. Roosevelt are entitled to the same pride that any| American parents have when their sons serve with honor and - courage. But because they are sons of the President, they are also targets for those who hate the Presi- dent. And this is not the first below-the-belt tirade of the kind. William P. Lambertson’s own war record consists >f a period spent in an officers’ training camp dur- ing the last war. We can find no evidence that he ever saw action on any front anywhere. He is also the same William P. Lambertson who told Congress on December 4, 1941, three days before Pearl Harbor: “There is not anybody woirying about Hitler ;oming over here and attacking us. Nobody is worry- ing about Japan coming over here and attacking us. The President of the Uhited States has assumed the position of a dictator in this land, and he is enjoy- ing it.” Yes, Labertson is an isolationist of whom many isolationists are ashamed. He is a Republican of whom many Republicans aré ashamed. He made a senomous attack upon Wendell Willkie. And last February, he half-apologized for even voting in favor »f the declaration of war.. Shouted Lambertson: “We were maneuvered into it.” Such is the man who, from a comfortable seat in Washington, slings slime at men fighting for their | country—simply because they happen to be sons ol‘ the President. Because this nation is a democracy, a man oi Lambertson’s stripe is permitted to: use his personal privilege as a Congreéssman to defamie the Prosi- dent’s sons Because this country is a democracy, this news- paper also is privileged to call a heel a heel, and ar liar 4 liar. i In Trenton, N.

This herd, however, is one of e best-protected in the territory more isolated herds have 'under- gone. Such concentration of the deer has, in fact, been more or less | forced by, the wolf depredations, even at the expense of sufficient food- for ‘them. Use of Planes Effective Some attempts to.cut the wolf menace are under.way at present, with debatable success. It .is diffi- ¢ult to induce a native to go trap- ping with only-the, promise of boun- nes—shi: a pelt—when_he can ob- tain work. at.\lilgh wages in.almost any Aldska fown. Too, the work of . ground wolf killers has. failed in some" instdnces to Teduce the menace -much even when it was" | done extensively. Rood believes the only answer is the employmem of government airplanes, flying at altitudes low enough to permit the shooting of wolves from the planes, after the | fashion of coyote hunters of the Montana-Idaho country. One such plane, operating only in the pilot's spare time, accounted | for 30. wolves last spring in a com- paratively .small area. Rood be- lieves ofhers, operating over the treeless, shelterless flats where a wolf cannot hide even when asleep, would more than pay for their op- | erations. Without them, he is frank |to admit that he has little hope of maintaining the herds at their pre- sent size, and no'shope of increasing them to what they were ten years ago. —_————— COLD AT WHITEHORSE For the week of January 21 to January 28, the thermometer at Whitehorse ranged from 24 to 46 These reindeer herds are both nnd has suffered only a fraction of | degrees below zero and woodpiles and privately the loss from wolves which other,| were hard hit.
