Economic Security
PREFACING a publication of the Dumbarton
Oaks agreements, Cordell Hull, then Secre-
tary of State, observed that any international
plan will be "in terms of the highest common
denominator rather than of the plan of any
nation."
Mr. Hull points to what is perhaps the great-
est failure of Americans as internationalists:
our tendency to see the general good in terms
of what is best for America, or to place the,
international good second to that of America.
This philosophy has been especially evident
in discussion about the degree of economic aid
which should be sent to our Allies and the im-
poverished nations of Europe. Our willing-
ness to send food and supplies without repara-
tion has, if the American press accurately re-
flects public opinion, stopped short when the
standard of living at home has been seriously
threatened.
The need for such aid will not end with the
war. A means for providing it was, indeed, one
of the primary considerations of the conver-
sations at' Dumbarton Oaks. The proposals
which emerged from the four-power delibera-
tion thus included a pl.n for an Economic and
Social Council, the stated aim of which is "the
creation of conditions of stability and well-
being which are necessary for peaceful and
friendly relations among nations."
Full devotion to that aim requires abandon-
ment of the attitude we have previously taken
in regard to material aid to the other nations
of the world.
The choice people of the United States make
between greater temporary national prosperity
and a long enduring international economic
security may well mean the failure or success
of any postwar attempt at economic planning
because of the unprecedented importance states-
men agree this country will assume in the world
economy.
Worldwide economic security is a trail blaz-
ed toward worldwide peace. Americans who
have sacrificed so much during the war can
aord comparatively minor sacrifices to pre-
vent its recurrence.

Accept Principles
THE SAN FRANCISCO CONFERENCE will
clarify the details of the new world organ-
ization-what it is empowered to do, how it will
be made up, what principles it will follow. But
without American participation and coopera-.
tion, this organization will be powerless. There
will be merely a repeat performance of the last
post-war period, with perhaps the same final re-
sult.
President Roosevelt, had he only lived to com-
plete his work, could have "unified us in the
joint task of building the peace," as Prof. Theo-
dore Newcome stated. He could have made the

WASHINGTON-It happened behind closed
doors, but a lot of housewives would have
relished being present when Congressman Clinton
Anderson's special food committee quizzed an ar-
ray of Washington big-wigs.
A lot of star witnesses were present, but the
Army, represented by Maj. Gen. Hardigg of
the quartermaster corps, chiefly took it. on the
chin,
War Food Chief Marvin Jones started the
ball rolling when he produced figures showing
that last year, when meat was plentiful, the
Army gummed up the works by failing to take
anywhere near the quantity allocated to it.
In the fourth quarter of 1944, the Army had
asked for one and a quarter billion pounds of
meat. Actually, the Army took half a billion
pounds less.
That, according to the closed-door testimony,
was the chief reason why ration points on meat
were dropped last year and the housewives got
a windfall. The public then got back to .the
habit of eating meat. But today, with meat far
less plentiful, the Army has ordered even
more than allocated to it last year.
General Hardigg was unable to satisfy the
Congressmen as to why t Army failed to
take up its meat last year, or at least failed to
put it in cold storage for later use. Had this
been done, Army demands would now be much
smaller. General Hardigg also was asked to
report back to Congress on meat consumption
per soldier in the British Army, also in the
Russian Army. Congressmen also asked Har-
digg to report on how much meat was consumed
by. U. S. tro6ps overseas, as compared with that
consumed by troops in the United States.
Relaxed Meat Inspection ...
ONE PROPOSAL to ease the meat shortage is
to abolish federal inspection in small local
slaughter houses. These slaughterers have to
pass state inspection anyway, and most of
them are thoroughly reputable. But to sell
inter-state they must pass federal inspection,
so many now sell only within state limits.
This is one reason why cattle-raising states are
experiencing no meat shortage today.
General Hardigg, however, sat on the idea
of relaxing federal inspection. He argued
that federal inspection must continue. War
Food Chief Jones and War Mobilizer Vinson
were not impressed with Hardigg's argument.
"I never tasted federally inspected meat until
I was in my twenties," scoffed Texas-bred Jones.
"Out in Kentucky we did all right without
federally inspected meat," Vinson agreed. "I
never had it until I was out of my 'teens."
Representative Anderson of Albuquerque, New
Mex., chairman of the committee, then took
General Hardigg to task for the Army's system
of poultry buying.
"Out my way, where we've got plenty of
,meat," Anderson said, "the Army isn't inter-
ested in buying poultry. Here in the East,
where meat is scarce, you're taking all the
poultry. Why not spread your poultry buying
so that in areas where the public has a hard
time getting meat it can at least get a little
poultry."
He pointed out that the Army is.taking 100
per cent of the poultry in the Delmarva area-
Deleware, Maryland and Virginia.
Vinson supported Anderson, telling Hardigg:
"Try to work that out with the War Food Ad-
ministration, General."
Oldsters Carry On ...
ONE OF THE great jobs of this war, though
little appreciated by the public, has been
that of older men on the home front. Some of
them, even though over sixty, have jumped
in to take any jobs that could help keep the
country going-from telegraph messengers to
war plant workers.
The coal mines, for instance, could hardly
have continued top output were it not for
older men. Before the war, the average age
of coal miners was around thirty. Now it is
mucl higher.
John Pillsbury, of the famous flour mills by
that name, is among those who pays tribute to
what older men are doing on the home front.
Some of his mills, Pillsbury says, are being run
entirely by older men. And despite a seven-day
week, which wears them out, they are doing
a fine, patriotic job.
Inside the Army and Navy also, the job
being done by men over 38 is probably not ap-
preciated. Now too old for commissions as
lieutenants, many of them have been detailed to
menial work despite college educations and skill-
ed prewar training.

Hoover's Skeptical
IN THE HEIGHT of what Samuel Grafton
would call "international organization voguish-
ness," Herbert Hoover has put his stamp of ap-
proval on Dumbarton Oaks.
He would like to contribute to a sound plan
for lasting peace.
But there is a snag.
Like so many Americans, Hoover is skeptical
when it comes to considering the USSR an ally
of the United States. It seems that Hoover
wants world peace for the "peace-loving na-
tions" of which the Soviet Union is not con-
sidered one.

men who, when they do get back to civilian
life, will buck the handicap of age in getting
peacetime jobs.

C ENSORSHIP of newspaper comment on the
possibility of war between Russia and Japan
was ordered by the State Department. Byron
Price's office of censorship had nothing to do
with it except carry out instructions. This is
the first time news comment has been barred on
the relations between two countries. . . . Loy
Enderson, able U. S. minister to Iraq, is return-
ing to Washington to head the State Depart-
ment's Near Eastern division. . . Shortly be-
fore returnin gto China, Ambassador Pat Hurley
got Roosevelt's OK on arming several divisions
of Chiang Kai-Shek's troops. However, ex-
perts are betting that few of them will ever see
service against Japan. They are more likely
to fight in a major civil war against the North
Chinese.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
What Is Support?
By SAMUEL GRAFTONT*
A DELEGATION of eight Republican Senators
has been in to see President Truman, and to
offer him support. Let's ask a child's question
about the incident: Papa, what is support?
Support must have content; it must be sup-
port for something, and about something. Other-
wise it is not support at all it is merely a
generalized expression of good will, such as prize
fighters offer when they shake hands before a
bout; but they don't support each other. The
Republicans, led by Senator Taft, have shown an
amiable intention in calling on the new Presi-
dent: their visit is most important; but until
they outline the nature of their support in pro-
grammatic terms, what they have said will re-
main an unfinished sentence. There can be no
such thing as support in a vacuum.
One begins to understand why President
Truman made such a point, at his last Tuesday
press conference, of coming out for Bretton
Woods, all the way, and for extension of the
reciprocal trade treaties. Nobody had asked
him what he thought of these matters. He
brought them up himself, he committed him-
self thoroughly in the presence of 348 corre-
spondents. He seemed quite anxious to sew
himself up.
He knew that last week would be a week of
general expressions of support, a week not
to be wasted; and perhaps he strove, by com-
mitting himself early, to give content to these
expressions of support, to make them a little
less vague than otherwise they would be. At
least the delegations would know what manner
of man they had come in to shake hands with,
and could not later say that they had not
known.
It happens that Mr. Truman did receive mag-
nificent support from a Republican Senator last
week. It came from a Senator who was not
even on the Taft delegation; Aiken, of Vermont,
who in a speech to the Upper House, called on
Republicans to get behind Bretton Woods, the
reciprocal trade treaties, and all other pending
international economic agreements. This would
have been support even if Mr. Aiken had finished
off his speech by remarking that he, personally,
did not like Mr. Truman very much; and in
this we see illustrated the difference between
solid support, and the mere flicking of a bit of
dust from a new President's sleeve.
A curious, delicate, almost hidden battle is
going on in Washington; the Battle of the
Hundred Days; those days of grace, which
America, by sound political instinct; gives to
every new president. The accession of a
new President has had an important effect on
every treaty and agreement now pending
before Congress. Defeat for these treaties
now means the visible shattering of our na-
tional unity, as well as of our relations with
the world. It was true before, but because
there is a new man in the White House, it is
clearer now, that rejection of pending treaties
means to smash something at home as well
as abroad.
Papa, what is "support?" It is possible to
support without supporting. The opposition in
Congress supports world peace, until world peace
asks for ten cents for carfare, or for a stabiliza-
tion fund. It supports world peace so long
as world peace doesn't want anything. The
fact that there is a new man in the White House
exposes the game, simplifies it, lets us see
it. We shall now see whether Mr. Truman will
be supported only so long as he doesn't want
anything. The issue has been cooperation all
along, but the installation of a new President
has dramatized it, taken the cover off it.
The opposition wishes to convince the
country of its belief in unity, but it has not yet
made up its mind to pay for the prize of unity
in the coin of compromise. It will have to do
so. In a world in which a cup of coffee
costs at least a" nickel, national unity is not
to be bought for nothing.
