UN BUDGET
In connection with the international organiza
tions established by the United Nations, the United
States, since the war's end, has been contributing a
heavy percentage of the total cost.
Opinion is strong in the States that the other
nations should meet their share of this financial
burden. This probably explains the action of the
House in lopping $3,000,000 of the $30,000,000 budget
request for the pledged contribution of the United
States.
President Truman, in asking for the full amount
requested, says that the $3,000,000 saving involves
the risk of ruining the organizations and suggests
that if the members of Congress oppose the work, as
a whole, it would be better and more honorable to
offer legislation terminating our participation in the
groups.
The President pointed out that the House had
fixed a limit of thirty-three and one-third per cent
as this country's contribution to any organization
and pointed out that it was the aim of the govern
ment to bring our share to this level, or lower, even
tually. The U. S. share of the United Nations budget,
he said, is slightly over thirty per cent of that
organization's total cost, but our percentage is being
cut down regularly.
It was necessary, of course, just after the war
for the United States to assume a disproportionate
share of the expenses of international groups. Many
of the other nations of the world, which could have
been expected to contribute, were suffering from the
economic devastation of war. Temporarily, at least
the other nations were not able to put up their lull
Bhjug hut, jn the years that have passed, most ol
them have given indication of their Willingness tc
do so.
VIEWS AND REVIEWS
What They Say Whether Right or Wrong
James Bryant Conant, president Harvard University:
"Neither the forces of good nor evil will prevail
to the extent prophesied by some writers in the last
few years.”
Frederick A. Irving, Maj. Gen., Superintendent of
West Point:
“The (honor) code is still a vital part and the
way of life of the Corps.”
William F. Knowland, U. S. Senator from California:
“The job which Secretary Acheson did in presid
ing over the (Japanese peace) conference was out
standing."
Lynds I). McCormick, admiral, commander U. S. At
lantic Fleet:
"Eventually, I think every carrier will be equipped
with atomic bombs.”
Charles F. Brannan, Secretary of Agriculture:
“Farm leadership should make clear to labor and
to white-collar groups that farmers are concerned
with their problems.”
it. B. Spencer, doctor:
“Nature imposes trials and -tribulations and may
know what is good for us better than we do our
selves."
Isa dor Fubin. U. S. Delegate to U. N. Economic and
Social Council:
“A nation of insecure tenants and ruthless laborers
is an unstable society, subject to sporadic violence
and easily persuaded to follow false leaders.”
Thomas E. Dewey, Governor of New York:
“Most Americans would like to forget the rest of
the world and just live in peace.”
Harry S. Truman:
“You can help to defend your country by buying
United States savings bonds.”
John Foster Dulles, U. S. Ambassador-at-Large:
"The United States as occupying power, has put
up $2,000,000,000 for economic relief of Japan.”
Erie Johnston, Economic Stabilizer:
“Of course, I'm going to resign eventually.”

The motto of some people Is not to let principle
interfere with principal.
A broken toe is nature's way of emphasizing the
importance of the foot.
If you read everything in the newspapers you
have more stamina than we have.
The United States has had world leadership thrust
upon it — to its own expense.
You can’t explain things by putting the blame
on nature unless you can explain nature.
India seems to be ready to abandon non-resist
ance in settling the Kashmir question.
Who remembers how frightened the nation be
came over bolsnevism in the twenties?
Crime may not pay but much trouble is due.to
the fact that some people disbelieve it.
It may be all wrong but political influence in
this country depends upon the votes you control.
When you get rid of the idea that your mission
is to regulate other people you are in a position to
improve yourself.
A financial institution says that if you paid more
than $360 in taxes last year you paid more than
your share. So what?

publican Senator Williams of Dela
ware criticized Gabrielson’s connec- i
tion with RFC loans to Carthage
Hydrocol, Brewster saw his chance.

liams “for the good of the party.”
SAM RAYBURN RAGES
Speaker Sam Rayburn, usually an
easygoing soul, gave Congressman
Clarence Cannon of Missouri, chair
man of the house appropriations
committe, a private dressing-down
last week.
Cannon, who has had a tough
time .getting appropriations okayed
in his committee, dropped in Ray*
burn's office to ask for a fourth
30-day extension to permit the‘gov
ernment to operate another month
while waiting for its appropriation1
bill to pass Congress. The bills were
supposed to pass by the end of the j
fiscal year, June 30,.and ever since I
that date, the government has been
operating on a month-to-month
piecemeal basis.
The Bpeaker listened to Cannon's
request and then hit the ceiling.
He told the startled Missourian that
this is the first time in history that
Congress has had to give four
extensions on appropriations biils.
Then he ordered Cannon bluntly to
hurry up and finish the appropria
tions bills so Congress could go
home.
TOO LATE IN IRAN
Sorest people against the British
in the Iranian oil dispute are other
oil men in the middle east. They
point out that the British oil con
cession in Iran was obtained by
corruption, that Britain kept certain
members of the Iranian Parliament j
on its payroll for years, and that
everyone in Teheran knows this, j
They also point out that the
royalties paid by the British are!
so niggardly that the Iranians were
bound to kick over the traces.
In Indonesia, American companies
pay 60 percent royalty to the Indo
nesian government, keep 40 percent.!
In Arabia the split is fifty-fifty
But in Iran, Britain officially pays
only 25 percent to Iran, though un
officially and through secret book
keeping the split is reported nearei
12 percent for Iran; 88 percent foi
Britain. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Co
of course, is government owned.
Worst tragedy is that the State
Department failed to move in with
our British friends long ago tc
head off obvious disaster.
JUSTICE DOUGLAS WARNED
In recent months the State De
partment has been on the ball, but
this was iar too late. In 1949, for
instance. Justice William O. Doug
las came back from Iran to warn
the State Department .what was
bound to happen. On January 30,
this column also warned: “Moscow
is waging an extremely effective
campaign to take over Iran by
friendly infiltration. Simultaneously
the United States has so bungled its
diplomacy that Iran is on the verge
of tossing aside its traditional
friendship with the U.S.A.. . .Iran
has cut the Voice of America, given
free play to the Moscow radio, has
negotiated a new trade treaty with
Russia. .
For months, however, U. S. am
bassadors in Teheran had instruc
tions not to discuss the British oil
problem. This was Britain’s baby
they were advised, and we should
keep hands off.
Premier Ali Razmara, our great
friend, was assassinated partly be
cause he made no progress solving
the British oil problem. We refused
to discuss it with him.
Now, however, the entire middle
east is on the verge of a crisis—and
possible war—because of this bung
ling.
Note—British doctors were wise
enough to operate on the King of
England before it was too late. Dip
lomacy is much like medicine. If
there is too much delay the pa
tient never recovers.. And in the
case of Iran, the sore has been al
lowed to fester so long that almost
no diplomacy can save it.
A-BOMB REPORT
The Atomic Energy Commission
has sent President Truman an ex
tremely encouraging report on the
atomic race with Russia. This is
the inside reason behind the en
thusiastic statements recently about
our fantastic A-bomb progress.
The report to the President says
| flatly that the United States has
now regained the tremendous at
omic superiority it had over Russia
in August of 1949 when the first
Soviet atomic bomb was exploded.
Furthermore a round-the-clock
watch by allied seismographs and
Geiger counters indicates that the
Russians have not tested or ex
ploded another bomb since then.
This probably means that the
only atomic bomb the Russians have
been able to produce and stockpile
is the old-model Hiroshima-type
bomb they set off in 1949. The
Hiroshima-type bomb is now about
as old-fashioned as a Model T
Ford. •
It's reported that the Russians
have perhaps a minimum of 50 of
these on hand, with a possible
maximum of 200. In contrast, it's
no secret that the United States has
many, many times that nuifiber,
an unlimited supply of uranium, and
at least half a dozen new-type at
omic weapons that Russia hasn't
even got on the drafting board yet.

Q. Would it be all right for me to give a shower for my nephew’s
fiancee? She is a stranger in town and none of our friends or relatives
have met her as yet.
A. Not a shower. Guests should never be asked to bring presents
to one who is a stranger to them. On the other hand, it would be
very nice for you to give a party (not a shower) in honor of the girl,
j for the purpose of introducing her to your relatives and friends.
Q. How does a married woman sign her name to a telegram asking ;
I for reservations at a hotel?
A. She must include the “Mrs.” with her name, so that the room
' clerk will know how to address her when she arrives at her destina
tion.
Q. What is a good fruit course to serve for luncheon?
A. The most popular fruits are grapefruit, melon, or a mixture
