The Indianapolis News calls it a "matter of conscience," and comments: "The United States is getting around to doing what it should have done years ago. The House has passed and sent to the White House a Senate resolution providing that future payments by Finland on its World War 1 debt to this country be used as an educational fund for Finnish students. "Uncle Sam has been pocketing this money with an uneasy conscience ever since the debtors of the earlier war all quit paying; that is, all except little Finland.

Now the payments are to be used to provide educational and technical instruction and training in the United States for citizens of Finland, and to provide American textbooks and technical equipment for schools in Finland. The balance to be paid between now and 1984 totals $13,408,207. "All the might of Soviet Russia has not been sufficient to stamp out liberty and democracy in Finland. Finns will take courage anew with the knowledge that America has a heart and remembrance." We had several times suggested that the balance of Finland's debt be cancelled by the United States, but this plan is more appropriate and probably more welcome to the Finns. This View Also Becoming More Popular In Congress.

"Lewis Douglas, U. S. Ambassador to Great Britain, is suggesting that the time is near when this country must insist that the Labor Government spend less of its efforts on expanding Socialism and more on figuring how Britain eventually can get off the U. S. dole," The United States News reports.

"The view is growing in high U. S. official quarters that the dollar subsidy, used to bolster socialization, cannot be expanded." This report is true and timely but, as we have pointed out, Britain's economic troubles cannot be blamed entirely on the Labor Government's socialization program, including the nationalization of major industries, and the limiting or abandonment of that program would not, alone, solve the economic problem. It is fact, however, that the socialization program, including the very expensive "free" medical and hospitalization program, is contributing to the economic problem by increasing government expenditures, while other phases of the socialization program increase the cost of production to an extent making it harder and harder for British goods to compete with others on markets in the "dollar areas." That worsens Britain's dollar shortage. It also is true that some of the American funds lent and given to Britain have been used to finance the socialization program.

And we don't doubt the accuracy of the report that "the view is growing in high U. S. official quarters that the dollar subsidy, used to bolster socialization, cannot be expanded." That view is being adopted by more members of both houses. Another grim truth is that the American economy cannot or could not survive the strain of financing both the British socialization program and President Truman's, as embodied in the "Fair Deal." 1 1 im 'i mii i i a am mi i i Thinim nria ai Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued From Page 1) 100 per cent down the line for the Fair Deal program, including civil rights. He stands out among his Southern colleagues like the Washington monument does in the capital.

Kefauver is a good winter-book bet for a place on the 1952 Democratic presidential ticket. Hubert H. Humphrey former college professor, mayor of Minneapolis, and militant New Dealer, who battles for the things he believes in as resolutely as he talks fluently about them. He is outstandingly the most eloquent champion in Congress of Agriculture Secretary Brannan's Farm-Price-Support Plan. The fact that the proposal has been cold-shouldered has only intensified Humphrey's fervor.

Only 38 years old, he is sure to be heard from in the national political arena. Frank Porter Graham (D-N. eminent former president of the University of North Carolina and an equally eminent Senator. Although he has held his seat only a few months and is one of the mildest-mannered members of the chamber, he has already made an outstanding mark as a statesman of high stature, character and integrity. Striking evidence of this is that some of Graham's warmest admirers are old guard colleagues whom he has staunchly opposed on Issues.

The first rays of the moon were gently caressing her burnished hair and he wanted to reach down and touch her, tip her face up and taste the warm softness of her lips. But her words inserted themselves in his thoughts. "I really shouldn't blame Harry too much," she said slowly.

"I can't understand him yet, it would be too much to ask that he be completely the same man that I loved before the war." "Jean, Jean," Kirby said softly, the protesting tone of his voice causing her to look up at him sharply. She reached her hands out and he pulled her up. "You think I'm wrong, you?" she asked. Kirby looked away and shrugged. "What do you want me to say? I can't agree with you.

A few hours go you were filled with hatred for Harry Fay now you're ready to forgive and forget." He shook his head, almost with a sense of futility. "I wish that I could explain everything to you now but I can't. I must wait until the proper time." "Proper time?" She looked at him with puzzlement crowding her eyes. "Ever since I first met you, you've hinted at strange things concerning Harry. Yet you've never once said anything to make me believe in your way of thinking." "I know," Kirby nodded.

"I'm not asking you to see things way yet." "But you don't think I should forgive Harry for what he said to me?" "No." He looked down and realized he still was holding her hands. "Look. If I was certain I could completely trust you Jean pulled her hands away with a gasp. "Trust me!" "I know that sounds terribly unfair, but one of these days you wiU understand." She shook her head slowly and turned toward the car. He helped her up the incline and when they came to the fence, he swung her around and pulled her close to him.

"One thing should be clear to you," he said tensely. "You're not blind; certainly you must be able to see how I feel about you." Jean's eyes darted over the features of his face and with a half-choked moan, she buried her head against his shoulder. "Please, Paul. Pease don't say It." "Say what?" he asked gruffly. "You're acting like a school girl trying to close your mind to all things that seem too difficult to either understand or accept.

You know that I love you and you know that Harry Fay doesn't. Yet you won't accept either fact. You want to think everything out your own way, disregarding all realities." She said nothing for awhile and then pulled her head away from his shoulder. "I desireved that, I guess," she murmured. Kirby cupped her chin in his fingers and smiled at her.

"You're a very lovely person, but you've got a lot of pride to rebuild. It's all mashed right now. I'm willing to wait until it's repaired Jean's eyes met his, her head topped back a little and her words were almost a whisper. i 1 what?" she asked. "Until you want nothing else but this," Kirby said and bent his head, kissing her hard and for a long time, feeling her arms reach around his neck and pressing him closer.

It was after nine o'clock when Kirby drove away from Jean's home, glancing at the darkened Fay house and headed for his hotel. When he stopped at the desk in the hotel lobby, the elderly night clerk handed him one letter and a telephone call slip. He recognized the Omaha number and pocketed the call slip as he entered the creaky, antique elevator cage and waited for the combination elevator boy-bell hop to put down his detective story magazine slowly get out of a deep leather chair in a far corner of the lobby. "Good story?" Kirby asked the boy. "Yeah," the boy answered, shifting the wal of gum from one side of his mouth to the other.

"Spy story." "Really? Must be Interesting." "Yeah," the boy sighed. "Nothin like that ever happens in Granville, though." "I'll bet," Kirby grinned and got out at his floor, flipping the boy a quarter. "Join the army and see a world full of spies." Inside his room, he ripped open the envelope that bore only his address and a Chicago postmark. He pulled out another envelope addressed to him, this one with a Washington return address. He found his monthly pay check and a brief note from Hamilton in it.

The note read: "Don't let me down! The White House has wind of what you're up to and I'm doing everything I can to hold them off from cutting in. But they insisted I fill the FBI in on the caper. You'll probably hear from their Omaha office. Hurry up and either bag Malik or find us both other jobs. Kirby smiled and took the note into the bathroom and burned it, watching the bluish flame curl the paper into charred ashes.

He was almost certain that Malik was posing as Harry Fay. He knew the real Harry Fay would never have treated Jean that way this afternoon no matter what had happened to him during the war. Only a man with a cruelly warped mind could do that a mind so intelligent and shrewd that it could turn itself into the fundamental shape of another man's, yet could not do the impossible when it came to basic emotional reactions. He sat down near the telephone and thought about his case. So far, he had only his own conclusions on which to base his belief.

He lacked evidence even one shred of evidence. And he knew that he could not bring himself to use Jean. He could never ask her to testify, for even though she might do so freely after she found out about Malik he feared that she might forever harbor a doubt that his love for her was something deep and solid and Barron not constructed merely from the necessity of geting Malik. He felt, that in the end it would better to let Malik escape through his trap than risk losing Jean. His eyes were troubled and wear? as he nut in the return cau to the Omaha FBI office.

Ben F. Middleton, state supervisor, said here Friday. The fruit was purchased by the U. S. Department of Agriculture under a price support program to prevent drastic price declines to the marketing of this year's California apple and pear crops, which are larger than usual.

During the past school year, from July 1, 1948, through June 30, 1949, Mississippi schools received 132 1-2 cars of price support commodities valued at $749,495, Mr. Middleton said. These foods included dried fruits, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh cabbage, orange juice, honey and dried eggs. In addition, Mississippi during the same 12 month's period, received 39 cars especally selected foods, valued at $531,982, which USDA purchased to help improve the nutritive value of school lunches.

Frank Colby Says: Three Day Mine Work Week Causing Huge Costs and Losses Tht Washington Merry-Go-Round in Thursday' Clarion-Ledger, authored by Robert S. Allen while Drew Pearson is on vacation, included this reminder of the cumulative effects of John L.

Lewis' order restricting coal mining to three days a wek: "John L. Lewis' two-months-old coal, alowdown has had no effect on industry far. Stockpile reserves have gradually diminished, but all consumption demands have been met. Only group so far hard hit Is small mine operators, particularly in Virginia. They have been unable to operate profitably on a three-day basis and a number of them have been forced to hut down.

This has thrown hundreds of miners out of work, through no fault of their own or the operators. "While Lewis' slowdown has caused no general adverse effect as yet, difficulties are anticipated when cold weather sets in. Such steel plants as have been digging into their coal reserves are becoming uneasy. Similarly, retail dealers are warning customers to order now." The three-day-week or "slowdown 'is doing exactly what John L. Lewis intended It to do.

It is "stabilizing" coal production by restricting it. It is reducing the unusually large supply of coal above ground. In doing this, it is steadily strengthening Lewis' hand preparatory to a showdown with the mine operators, including the ateel mills operating their own coal mines, over a new contract when Lewis is ready to force that showdown. While the three-day-week is thus accomplishing its purposes, Lewis is doing something he never did before permitting his United Mine Workers to work after a contract has expired and before a new one Is adopted. He can well afford to wait.

Tht cost of the three-day-week thus ordered and enforced by Lewis, however, has not been limited thus far to the West Virginia small mine workers and operators. Senator Robertson, Virginia Democrat, says that witnesses testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, contended that the three-day work week has raised mining costs 40 to 75 cents a ton, has caused miners to loss wsges at an annual rate of has reduced railroad earnings from coal hauling at an annual rate of $300,000,000, and has cut business in mining towns from J3 to 85 percent. Tht Senator adds that testimony indicates that John L. Lewis' union "has a monopoly" that is controlling coal production, but that, certainly, is not "news." Kentucky Bans Rat Killer In All Places Handling Food Compound 1080 is a new and deadly rat poison. But it is said to kill human beings as readily as it does rats, and no antidote for It is known.

These are the reasons given for an announcement by the Kentucky State Department of Health that it will prosecute food-handling firms which permit use of the deadly poison on their premises. Tht order was issued after commercial rat exterminators were reported to have used Compound 1080 in rat-proofing jobs at a Louisville bakery and a Henderson food firm. An official of the State Department of Health is quoted as saying that the poison often is mixed with water and placed In small paper cups so that it might easily be spilled or leak onto food where it might be undetected since the solution is colorless. The announcement warns that any food manufacturer or food-establishment operator in whose place of business the poison Is used is liable to fines up to $100 and jail sentences up to 30 days for each day the offense continues. We don't know whether Compound 1080 Is being used in Mississippi by professional pest exterminators or by others, but note the Kentucky story because of its general interest.

We are confident that if any official precautions need to be taken in Mississippi in this connection, they will be taken. You suffer your greatest defeats at the hand of your greatest enemy yourself.

But no, we've got to go along and hire a lot of high priced outsiders to tell us how to build our roads, and by the time we get them paid off, there is no money left for rural roads.

Uneasy is the seat of the usurper, and perhaps the current situation is to be typical. A local lady tells us she Is off quiz programs for life. The other day, she listened as a voice told in glowing terms of imminent telephone calls and prizes. All she had to do was name a certain popular beverage in answer to her phone caU. Lo, her telephone rang, once, twice." The voice came over: "We have rung the number twice.

The lady barked her shins on a chair as she rushed to the phone, yanked off the receiver and exclaimed the name of the drink. Startled, the party at the other end announced "wrong number. A moment later, the telephone rang again. "Is this (number a curious voice asked. The lady then learned that she had practically rebuffed a very Important call, and her explana tions were a bit shamefacedly given.

"Never again," quoth she. State Representative Gorden Bo-wen, of Itawamba county, will ask the 1950 legislature or a special session of the law-makers, to give the gasoline tax to the Another Crime Report From Chickasaw County Having commented last week on the crime situation in Chickasaw County, which has caused citizens and law officers to appeal for State aid in fighting organized crime and criminals, we now note a later development for the interest of Clarion-Ledger readers. The Pontotoc Progress reports that "after an alleged bootlegger had been freed in crime-ridden Chickasaw County-last week," Editor Sid Harris proclaimed in his Houston Times-Post: "The best law enforcement officials in the world can't get the job done when the jury drinks up the evidence." If that actually happened, conditions in Chickasaw must be even worse than had been reported, and contempt action against the jurors surely was in order. EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY fHIL CONLEY, Litt. D.

Mister Boyle has gone and appointed Mississippi a national committeeman and com-mitteewoman.

They are supposed to represent the people of this state on the Democratic National Committee. Yet, we distinctly recall that the people themselves Mississippi voted for two other representatives of their party interests. So, the people of Mississippi must be incapable of "proper action." And, we presume that we are supposed to be kicked and crippled no end. Fear and trembling should rule In our politically rebuffed state. Yet, we awakened this morning, feeling as pert as ever.

En route to work, we sighted none grovelling in the streets. Therefore, we conclude that the people of Mississippi are not gener-aUy worried about patronage, nor about the frown on Mister Boyles' and Mister Truman's face. We will still continue to go along with our convictions and our consciences, which get along pretty well together despite all the mouth-ings from other sectors. I know a capable lawyer who refuses to accept criticism of any kind. We were on a committee, and a report of his was questioned by one of the members.

He said "There it is take it or leave it." He overlooked the fact that progress is not made without debates, discussions, and sometimes even violent disagreements. If Madison had presented his first draft of the Constitution of the United States at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 with a "take it or leave it" statement, he would not have been called the Father of the Constitution. That document as finally adopted was the result of many compromises over a period of four months of discussion. One cannot have business success and maintain his honor unless he deals fairly in every transaction. The person who puts a "joker" or a "catch" in a business contract will pay dearly for his crookedness.
