AR‘VIIN(, OUR ALLIES If there is real dangel of a shooting war becweenl ast and West, then suggestions that the United States supply arms for her partners in the North Atlantic Pact makes sense. That such a danger exists | means still higher taxes, in all probability. hardly can be dcmed The fundamental conthcts between Democracy and Communism grow steadily | more disturbing. At such times preparedness is & | necessary precaution. To any defense establishment, or in any series | of defenses, arms are a cornerstone. Guns, tanks, planes, | ships and bombs—all the supplies of war—must be | ready and waiting, even if they never are to be used. Soldiers and sailors, too, must be ready to man the | materials of wa:. And an alert and willing public must stand back of the active military organization to keep supplies flowing to possible battle fronts, That the United States, of all the North Atlantic nations, is best able to provide materials goes without saying. Our productive organization is the world’s best, and our resources are greater than those of our, allies. We can, then, turn out the goods. It will be a costly and demanding job. But we can do it. | Other nations—those asking materials aid—are offering to man the guns and tanks we send them. That, too, is a most important part of the defense operation. Were it necessary for America both to produce and man, then our task indeed would be gigantic. And, without the assistance of our allies, who can deny that this would be necessary? On both sides of the Atlantic civilian populations | will be called upon to support defense programs. This | Certainly it eliminates any possibility of immediate reductions. Our greatest tax contribution will go to buijld war materials. Our allies will spend their money chiefly for standing armies. In all, this seems a fair arrangement. In face of the present situation, it seems the only logical one. Grounds for Objection % (St. Louis Star-Times) The Moscow radio objects to the proposed Ameri- can and British expedition to Mount Ararat, in Turkey near the Soviet border. It says that the purpose of the axpedition is not to hunt for Noah's Ark, as the ex- plorers say, but to spy on Russia. This phobia' against spying is a familiar Russian reaction, but there might be reasons why the Russians would object to the finding of Noah's ark. It would be a vindication of a story not originally written by a Russian writer. It.would be a strong indication that the Soviet theory of genetics is wrong. And it would also prove that if one sends out a dove often enough, eventually it will come back with an olive leaf. The thing that most surprises a foreigner upon his first visit to the United States is to come across a tree and find there is no money growing on it. “Is it legal for a millionaire to will his estate to! the U. S. government?” someone asks. —and virtually unnecessary.

After Father died in San Fran- cisco, I took her down to Ventura, Calif., where I had to speak. There is an artists’ colony nearby and quite a nice hotel. It was a short trip, ‘but hew Mother loved it. I can still remember putting her on | the bus as I went south and she »went nerth.
