MORE DARNED SIDINGS! The World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON ® — The word “trade” is about as unemotional as any in the language, which is why, perhaps, nothing much has been said about it in his presiden- tial campaign although the cam- Paign has been full of talk about dealing with Russia. And trade with Russia, or rather the lack of it, is one of the major weapons in the cold war, as W. Av- erell Harriman, director of the Mu- tual Security Agency, pointed out in a report this week. His organiz- ation is successor to the old Mar- shall Plan. The latter was created to give economic help to Europe which, had it remained flat and broke, might have been taken over by Russia without firing a shot. It might’ seem that, since this country and its allies were in a cold war with Russia, and both sides were building up their arma- ments which might be used any day in a shooting war, all trade would cease between the West and Russia. i Tt might seem ridiculous that any country allied with the U, S. or re- crountry allied with the U. S. or re- ceiving help from this country would at the same time be trading with Russia. But in his report Har- riman said “cutting off trade en- tirely would harm our common de- fense effort more than it harms the potential aggressor.” He said other non-Communist countries receive from the Soviet : ~sna | THIS ROCK OF OURS BILL GIBB 50044 44444444444444 444444444 64448EEEE - Here we go again. . .; TV VV VT VTC TCT Vere in4*~nation was first aroused dy a wave of prowlers, peeping-toms_ ete.

It has been suggested | that fishing may offer the answer to this problem. Each year about 20 million tons of fish are caught, which is about one-fiftieth of the total consumption of protein. According to the Committee on Oceanography of the National Research Council, fishermen are a conserv- ative lot and will have to find better fishing grounds and! improve their fish-catching methods. The fishermen of new England have set a good ex- ample of what can be done with a little change in boats and fishing gear. During the 10-year period from 1931 to 1941, the rose fish catch increased from practically noth- ing to 145,000,000 piunds, with the result that the rose fish is now the second most important in New England fishing. Underwater accoustics may offer one way of ex- ploiting these almost untouched resources. In this way, un- | derwater depths may be explored with the ability to de- | termine size and number of the fish present. It seems rea- | sonable.to expect that fish areas abundant at intermediate heights as they are on the surface or on the bottom where | nost commercial fishermen cast their nets. OUR AIR BASE AT THULE This nation is now in the progress of building a stra- tegic air base at Thule, Greenland, which is only 980 miles from the North’Pole. This air base is possible through a treaty with Denmark which owns the great island of Greenland. A quick glance at a globe of the world will reveal that this air base will make it possible for American bomb- ers and fighters to sit up on top of the world, relatively near the great Russian land mass. Constructing an airbase at this out-of-the-way place was a difficult job and involved many hardships. Since shipping is blocked for all but two or three months of the year, the buik of the job of transporting workers and’ ma- terials has fallen on big transport planes. The United States now possess bomber bases enabling the Air Force to strike into the heart of Russia, and this —| added to the planes we have which are capable of bomb- ing Russia — is one of our biggest steps toward peace, ‘reation.

After hearing these stories, “Dad” always takes Both, Mom and Dad have untold experience in both private business and Christian fellowship. Servicemen of all faiths and} creeds, or those who have no creed, | are always “elcome. This center is not a church---it is simply “a home away from home” for the boys. You fellows may be assured that you will always receive a warm greeting and will be most welcome. The only requirement is that you conduct yourself as gentlemen while at the center. In the-game room at the center, | there are two typewriters and two | desks for visitors to write letters, | a library of books that Dad has col- | lected through the years, a ping- pong table and ample seating to zines and several copies of the Bi- ble for servicemen to read. A ra- dio and a blond finished spinnet piano with a good supply of song books is also to be had. You should hear some of the boys play the piano! Now, we will come to the part that appeals to all men, service or civilian, the dining room and the kitchen, The dining room has a large table and everytime Mom sets the table to eat, she puts a “place” at every available space and often sets up another table in the living room so that the boys who drop in are fed, And youl can bet your bottom dollar that Mom is a cracking good cook and that there | is always enough for everyone. The kitchen is electrically equip- ped and there is a large ice box | which is always full of ¢okes, home- made punch and iced tea. You can always {ind cold cuts for making 'snacks or sandwiches, No one is ever coprt martialed for robbjng the ice box... this your home away from home. At the center, the day begins at 6:00 a. m. when Mom, Pop and Becky are up and about. Breakfast is served at 7:00 a.m. and after family devotions are held which in- clude Bible reading, interpretation and prayer. Pop is excellent at ex- plaining passages of scripture as well as several of the servicemen who frequently visit the center. | Everyone is surprised at how im- maculate the center is kept. Mom really knows the ropes. Lunch is served at noon and supper at 5:00 p.m, Between these times, you may write letters, study, read play the watch the games.

Pop explains it simply by saying, “In the humble dependence of God.” We found on investigation that in an inconspicuous place in the ves- tibule there is a small donation box and over the refrigerator there is a sign “For Cokes”. In further discussion, Pop said, “I would like all servicemen to visit the center. Everything is free, We operate only on the basis that the Lord will provide the means so that we can continue to operate. All donations are in your own pri- vacy and absoultely free willed. Stop by for a visit, fellows. We want to meet you and feel sure that you will enjoy yourselves.” News Briefs NEW YORK, —An opinion sur- vey indicates that 99 per cent of | the American people believe in j | God, | The survey results, released yes | terday, were made by an indepen dent commercial research firm fot the Catholic Digest. | | | FORT PIERCE ‘®—Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission | deputies Wednesday seized flat- | boats and nets worth $3,000 during }a raid on alleged poachers in the | St. Lucie River. | Agents said the illegal seining | | operations apparently had been go- ling on for some time and the; | poachers fled in a speedy boat | that had been attending a 3,500 foot net. on which their defense is based.” But while some kind of trade with Russia might be all right— trade in items that didn't help Russia’s war machine—this coun- try had the problem of being sure Russia didn’t get war materials from other western sources. So the U. S. had-to work out ar- rangements with the countries get- ting American help to control ship- ments to Russia. To be doubly sure about it, Congress passed a law— called the Battle Act—making it mandatory for this country to shut off any aid to a country exporting war goods to Russia. This same law also said Ameri- can help to any country should be shut off—unless the president de- cided otherwise—if it exported to Russia materials of strategic value —like petroleum and certain kinds of transportation equipment—that could be used to produce war goods. Harriman said that for several years the important free world na- tions “have refused without any exception the shipment to the So- viet bloc of arms, ammunition, im- plements of war, or atomic energy materials.” The Battle Act went into effect last January. Harriman’s report was ah explanation of how the a@ has been carried out. Between Jan- uary and July he said there were only three cases of countries ship- ping forbidden goods to Russia. One case involved equipment for exploring for oil; another, a grind ing machine; and the third, a tank er. But they were in the group which permitted the President to use his own discretion about shut- ting off aid. For various reasons, which Harriman explained length, the President decided not to shut off American aid to the three countries: The Netherlands, Italy, | and Denmark. But this country and its allies weren't able to draw up a list of items which shouldn't go to Russia and stop there.
