Russian domination distributions of food by agencies independent of the governments will not be permitted. The suspicion is waxing stronger that one reason for this policy he Ccmmunist intention to use famine relief as an instrument of diplomacy, political propa- ganda and coercion. Thus it is fairly plain that the immediate and dramatic response of the Russian gov- ernment to the appeal for help by the Communist leader M. Thorez is not unconnected with the fact that a national election is approaching in France. Enormous publicity has been given to this Russian offer to sell grain to the French. we know, has bothered to call the attention of the French electorate to the fact that the total of grain promised (at a price reckoned in American dollars) by the Russians before June 2 (the date of the general elections) is less than a third of the total shipped to France and French North Africa since January 1 by the United States and Canada’ One thing becomes increasingly obvious. make sure that the food relief program is not to be made an instrument of cynical and ruthless power politics. For, if it is, then Mr. Lehman might have even more reason to accuse us of having betrayed “the millions who were given to believe that freedom and food went together.” REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 14'1 ttle, Was PROFITS AND TAXES The other day we pointed out that if, as some Congressmen recently suggested, Alaska’s salmon in- dustry was taxed $10,000,000 a year by the Territory, the industry weuldn’t have any profit. The Congress- men speaking, were, of course, not correctly informed about the' Alaska operation, because they apparently had been told by someone on their Alaska trip that the industry made $60,000,000 a year in Alaska. Congressman Samuel B. Pettingill of Indiane, in a reéent statement, says that the worst fault of our business system is that it is not understood. A recent poll shows that the man on the street believes the average profit of automobile manu- facturing companies is 24 per cent, which he thinks is too much. When asked what he thought a fair profit would be, he stated that it should be 12 per cent. The fact is that automobile profits run from .4 to 8 per cent. The man on the street wants the com- panies to make more than they are getting, but because | he doesn't know what the profits are he curses the capitalist, strikes for more wages and believes that the prefits are exorbitant. Suggestion for Congres S (Cincinnati Enquirer) Members of Congress have been ceaselessly busy for months without end. The intricate work of leg- islation has been pressing them from every side. This was true even before the war began. In the last two decades members of Congress have spent the most ! of their time in Washington, away from close contact | with their constituents. We feel that such a condi- | tion isn't entirely good, although there are those among the vots who feel that Congressmen and Senators shouldn’'t spend much time outside their | offices and halls on Capitol Hill. While Washington often is called the pulse of | the world, it isn't always the best place to learn the| real temper of the people. Pressure groups, centering | their activities along the Potomac, are likely to give to our legislative leaders lopsided views of national likes and dislikes. The rank and file—Mr. and Mrs, & John Q.
