As one who has been through a pretty tough mill in international politics, where he has distinguished himself by a high standard of political integrity, Senator Vandenberg has boldly declared that a reduction in arms expenditures below the figures suggested by the President would force this country to disarm alone. He cautioned that such a reduction would hamstring Secretary of State Marshall in the coming Moscow conferences.

Such a statement in the face of the obrious popularity of promised tax reductions represents a notable standard of statesmanship by one who knows what he is talking about. Senator Knowland has added force to Senator Vanden-berg's statement by publicly calling for -a $3,000,000,000 reduction in debt before there is any tax reduction. That means that possible surplus funds must be directed to retiring the public debt instead of easing the tax burden. If we look back on the pre-war statements of the Republicans that is exactly the standard of conduct the public should' expect from the Republican party. Republicans, it Will be remembered, with only a minority of Democrats, were the ones who demanded that the budget be balanced, and warned that a public debt was an evil.

17. Virtually every political event in Turkey can be explained either in terms of a fear or of a memory. The fear is, of course, the fear of the Soviet Union. No Turk and indeed no foreign observer in Turkey has the faintest doubt as to the real Soviet ambitions. The Russians want a friendly Turkey, a Turkey oa the Balkan model, with a regime imposed and controlled by the Kremlin.

The Turks believe that the demand for joint control of the Dardanelles and the earlier demand for two norihern Turkish provinces are but a means to that end. Thus, no informed Turk and in Ankara even the lowliest Anatolian peasant is remarkably informed can go to bed at night without wondering when the masters In the Kremlin will decide to reach out for what they want. It is hard to exaggerate the depth of this feeling. It is not generally known that the maneuvers (a politer word for a general mobilization) which took place here in September and October, was the result of a firm conviction held by the Turkish General Staff that a Russian attack "was imminent. The Turkish generals were wrong.

Shadow of Soviet From th distance of America, their fears may seem tc have smacked of hysteria, but here in the shadow of the Soviet Union, it is possible to sense something of the meaning of the heavy psychological pressure to which the Turks are being subjected. It is true that the Turks are breathing a trifle more easily than they did a few months ago, yet the pressure continues. It takes a number of forms. One is the Soviet radio which daily in Turkish broadcasts accuses the Turkish government of everything from (oddly enough) being anti-reliigous to harboring a large, contingent of American troops for war-like purposes. The Soviet press, both in the Soviet Union and the Balkan puppet states, echoes the radio by heaping torrents of abuse on the regime.

Again, there is the pressure organized from within. Turkish estimates of the Soviet investment, both in subsidizing pro-Soviet newspapers and in influencing Turkish politics vary from half a million lira to five or six times that amount. These figures should no doubt be taken with a large grain of salt, (grains of salt are evidently items of equipment as essential to the political reporter in the Near East as aspirin tablets.) Even so, among competent observers there is no doubt that an attempt said to be directed from Sofia, to capitalize on the prevailing discontent and to organize a pro-Soviet underground, is being made. A peculiar form of pressure to which the Turks consider themselves subjected is the continuing Soviet importation of thousands of Armenians from Yet the older men and women knew the Turkey 1 Vu IJW gored, and is a direct reflection of that human desire "to get even" which seems to prevail in the breasts of Liberals as well as Conservatives. There have been many such contests like the one- now being staged.

Charles Evans Hughes, for instance, went through grilling when he was appointed to the Supreme Court. He had been secretary of state under Harding. A man as illustrous as Senator Walsh of Montana opposed his confirmation, because he said Mr. Hughes had not used his membership in the cabinet to expose some of the rottenness that was later disclosed. That same idea prevails in the Lilienthal hearing.

Old stuff, we say, and go on with what happens to preoccupy us at the moment. That is all too true of the oft-told tale of our diminishing natural resources. But the other day, the chief of the forest service, Lyle F. Watts, put out an annual report that deserved more than the indifference it received. If we had an ounce of old-fashioned common sense, we would stop, look, listen and act.

What Watts was talking about was not a threat to a future generation. It was a threat that is here and now. In timber, the cupboard is almost bare. Must He Change Not until there is a drastic change in timbering methods will there be an end to the present gone such vast changes in its whole way of life as the TVA development. Mr.

Lilienthal was supposed to know has Turkey in one generation, for all these cnanges Ataturk was alone responsible. Ataturk has leen dead more than eight years, but his memory lives on together with the revolution which he created single-handed from the inexhaustible reserves of his energy. A new revolution in Turkish politics, a cautious and guarded revolution in the direction of personal freedom and parliamentary demorcracy is now being attempted. To any American, It would seem a very' revolution indeed, full of partly developed theories 8nd contradictions. It can only be understood In terms of Kemal The only thing.

In my estimation, that will control the atomic bomb, is the most rapid development of atomic energy. This will demonstrate that the perennial quest of states for raw material basis of imperialism and war is obsolete. The peace-atom and the war-atom thus face each other, and Lilienthal is the man who wants to start tie peace-atom moving. We. for our part, have no desire to be pushed ir.to the ice age by minds like that of Senator McKear that are still in the stone age.

As a matter of fact he won the enmity of Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, because he would not submit to the senator's demands for political patronage. When the final vote came on Mr.

Hughes' confirmation, some 20 Democrats came forward to make it possible. The same thing will probably happen in the present case. The shortage of timber products. That means that nousing and every other form of construction will continue to lag. The shortage cannot be cured until we begin to grow more trees, and this is a lengthy process.

When we sponsored the formation of the United Nations, it was done with the idea that the United Nations would be used as a means to thresh out and settle international "disputes. The situation in Palestine represents an international dispute. Such being the case why should not Washington join with the British and place this entire situation before the United Nations? Such procedure would allow all sides of this many-sided dispute to be aired. Besides considering merely the dispute in Palestine, it would have to consider the plight of the displaced persons in Europe. It could also present to the world family.

The name of Bandel has long been respected "We are becoming more and more dependent on the size of our annual timber crop. And our annual timber crop is not big enough to supply the nation's present appetite for timber products. It is far short of what we are likely to need for a strong, expanding economy in the future. Not Too Late It is still not too late to reverse the present trend. That is to say, it is not too late if we have the courage and the reality to act to save this vanishing resource.

Watts outlines four steps that must be taken. First, as an elementary step, organized fire protection must be brought to the 136,000,000 acres of forest land that do not have it, and the forces fighting forest pests and parasites must be built up to full effectiveness. Second, the planting program must be increased in this city. George Bandel. my father, came with his family to Tucson in 1918.
