Congress may be adjourned, but the old gravy train is running right along on its regu lar schedule. One place where the gravy is be tag ladeled out is the senate folding room, where documents, speeches, et cetera, are. prepared for mail, ing. It is as busy as a bargain base ment these days as senators up for in 1948 begin to bombard their constituents with campaign propaganda. Busiest part of this propaganda mill is the service department, where nine persons (three times as many as employed under the Democratic congress) now are ' employed. Biggest job being done by the sen-at- e folding room is for Sen. Wayland .Brooks of Illinois "Curley to his friends. The gentleman from Illinois, who preached economy so ardently at the last session, has ordered 425,000 farmers' bulletin lists mailed to his Illinois farm constituents. This Is an lades of farm publications published by the department of agriculture, What Illinois farmers may not know is that they, as taxpayers, are paying the hill for this campaign propaganda from their senator. Brooks got the .bulletin lists free, also the envelopes in which they are mailed out are free. Finally they are mailed out under the Illinois senators frank also free. In the end, however, someone has to pay the bin. Note The last session of the GOP- controlled congress spent more money on itself than, any other in history in fact, triple the amount spent in the lush days of the New Deal.

J We Must Save Food I The people of Cache County have been asked to cooperate in the nationwide food conservation program, designed to make available the continued shipment of food to relieve starvation in Europe. There is no doubt of the willingness of the people of this county, in common with those of other American sections, to make the small sacrifice requested in order to prevent the starvation of millions of men women and children in the war devastated areas of Europe. ' The only doubt in the matter is related to the effective ness of the voluntary campaign. We cannot succeed unless the people, which means all of us, respond to (he call and make a positive effort to contribute our mite to the relief of suffering humanity. j i , Former Governor Herbert H. Lehman, who served as Director of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Admini- stration, which has been terminated, warns that chaos will break in Europe unless immediate assistance is provided. He paints a grim picture of world conditions and declares that we are fighting against time, that unless we act promptly there will be chaos in all Europe and the complete collapse of large areas of the world. , , er Mr. Lehman says that with no world organization to help the needy countries, conditions have deteriorated during the past summer and that with the exception of some areas of i Eastern Europe, no country on the Continent has available foodstuffs totalling more than a fraction of that produced before the war or which their people need today. , men and women will have security of food, employment and. other essentials of living. d We do not have the advantage of observation in Europe, hut the testimony of Mr. Lehman and many other ex-- ; perts who have visited the Continent, leaves no reason to doubt the dire need for Immediate action. There is abundant evidence to demonstrate the necessity for Democracy to show that it serves and protects people and for the conclusion of Mr. Lehman that if we provide reasonable hope and the chance for a decent standard of living, we will have gone a long way toward assuring the adherence of the peoples of Western Europe to the principles and structure of Democracy. first-han- i s i Published at Hyrum, Utah Weekly o at the in Hyrum, Utah as Second matter under the Act of Class March 3, 1879.

Ady AL BIORGE Credit conscientious Kenneth Roy-al-l, secretary of the army, for ham mering at one of the worst weaknesses of government today the need of able manpower. Ever since the war ended, it has been increasingly difficult for the government to draft good men for important positions. During the war, men from every walk of life volunteered to come to Washington, but now though in some respects the emergency is almost as serious government agencies literally have to get down on their knees and beg qualified executives to take government jobs. Speaking in his home state of North Carolina recently, Secretary Royall pointed to this difficulty, and urged not only businessmen, but also labor and farm leaders to give part of their time to the government. . . In the opinion of Washington observers, Royall put his finger on one of the most important factors in government No organization even government is any bettor than the men in it. In making his appeal to the people of the United States not only to support the food conservation campaign, but to uphold the Marshall Plan, Mr. Lehman says that this country despite its great resources, cannot hope to remain either prosperous or secure so long as there is unrest, misery and hoplessness in other parts of the world.
