Also, they are dancing in tribute to the memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, driving spirit of the national campaign inst 0, who, in hi w symbol of the certainty of eventfial conquest of that cruel erippler auniversary of the birth of FDR, is a growing tradition as the day when the yearly farch of Dimes in crusade against infantile paralysis hes its climax in Birthday Balls in cities throughout Nation.

On this single rly appeal rests the entire program of the Nation Foundation for Infantile Paralysis: Care and treat- ment of Ppolio patipnts, epidemic aid, personnel train- ir research and education. President Hairy S. Truman has acknowledged the vital significance of a perpetually and vigorously main- ed campaign against the crippler polio, declaring: “For years I have followed with sympathetic inter- the Birthday Ball is not to It has been withheld Saturday evening, he weekend date T he ferers from | | est the important work of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, founded by Franklin D.

Yet today we are, in some insta ywing a very similar course. During the recent war we were caught with an insufficient supply of quinine. The War Department concluded that it was neecssary, in view of the great importance of controlling materials, to launch a cinchona project in the Western Hemisph where it could not be taken over by enemies or controlled by foreign tels Costa Rica was selected as the country where cinchona could best be grown in thi hemisphere. A 25-year agreement for the growing of cinchona in that area for the ed States was con- cluded and ratified, afier considerable debatz, by the C 1 Congr in 1944. An area of virgin juni selected f he experiment; a 1 to it was ¢ built; acres of forest land were cleared; and the mbe used for the construction of permanent camp buildi Into this project weni the high-quality cinchona rescued from the Philippine Islands after the fall of Bataan. Through cooperation of the War Depart- ment and the FEA, approximately 150 acres have been planted with 350,000 cinchona tree More than two million seedlings have also be started in connection with the preject. With all this preliminary work ac- complished, however, ways and means of liquidating the project are now under discussion. A 'p(-rmd of 10 years will be required to bring the plantation to full fruition. To abandon it now would involve gross loss and would smack of bad faith in our relations with a small Central American republic. And, of course, such liquidation would defeat the pur- poses fer which the plantation was established—to insurethe production of imalarial materials where they would be readily accessible in wartime. The long- mm,v value of the undertaking to the United States to the Latin-American republics was clearly ated when the eement concerning it was made to extend over 25 years. That agreement cannot now be recklessly upsst without consigning many Latin-Americah victims of malaria to death. We cannot help thinking that the talk of liquidating the project is extremely short- i d that this planning should rather concern itself with putting the cinchona plantation on a perma- nent basis. in. the case of the missionary who safely spent half a century among the alleged savages of Central It's a wondertul world we live Consider, for instance, Afr the age foot and left to die rglars. and then, returning to his home in Chicago at of 80 was set upon, wounded, tied hand and by three supposedly civilized It has been suggested that navies of the future, if any, will travel 1,000 feet below the surface.

Insiders admit privately that this was the biggest domestic error of the Truman Administration.

He read at a no was ur | mal pace, but too fast for the fili- busters who have been using every | trick in the book to stall for time.

HOW TO RILE LATINS The State Department is tryi to straighten out a snarled s tion inherited from the Stettinius- Hull regime, now almost causing revolution in Ecuador, It is the U. S. naval base on the Galapagos Islands, off Panama. ¢ Day after Pearl Harbor, Ecuador voluntarily offered us a base on these strategic islands, U, S. troops 1ave been there ever &ince. But with the war well over, Eeuado: eans are beginning to get a little jittery about the continued pre- sence of these troops. Se also, in- cidentally, are the Braailians re- garding U. S. bases on the: il Neither helps our now badly de- teriorated good-neighbor policy. During the Hull-Stettinius er Ecuador asked the Ed Import Bank for a commercial loan. Whereupon the State Department immediately jumped into the pic- ture with abrupt notice that there would be no loan unless the United States got a permanent peacetime base on the Galapagos Islands. This sent Ecuadorean blood sky- high, Like other Latin Americans, Ecuadoreans will cooperate in a common cause, but get indignant when someone tries to s on their soversign soil, ecially in return for a few dollars S the State Department’s un- unate faux pas, therefore, we e gotten nowhere in negotiating in the Galapagos, and the Ecuadoreans are getting sorer a base and sorer at the continued presence of U. S. troops. The Sumner Welles policy of se thin, he was the rea er of goed-neighborliness— was a joint overall plan for the defense of the hi ST re. For in- tance, the USA would give one or two surplus cruisers and destroy- ers to Ecuador and send U. 8. na- val officers to help train the Ecua- dorean avy. In return, Ecuador would give the U. S. Navy a peace- time base on Galapagos The Welles idea was to do the me thing with Brazil—perhaps weing a token force of Brazilian oops up to the United States or the Panama Canal to cooperate with the American Army and Navy, | while we kept a small force at one r two strategic air bases in Brazil Broad-gauged Under Secretary of State Dean Acheson is now lukmg‘ up the Galapagos problem person- ally, hopes to work out a solution soon.
