Many of our farmers who have endeavored to get men to help in their farm work will realize the difficulty that has attended their efforts paint dealers in Salt Lake that it would be wise to wait until after the war to get linseed oil for painting until conditions improved so that we could get pure linseed oil, rather than the imitation that was being sold then. Then, too, the city has been extremely short of funds, as they have had to use all available funds for the payment of the obligations which have been incurred by the previous administrations. With the bonded debt of the city being as large as. it is it has required all the funds available to get the city on a sound fiscal policy. - We note with interest the statement by Mr. Madsen that there are many people in the community who would be willing to devote time to a cleanup of the park, and we cordially invite Mr. Madsen, and all others who are interested in a campaign of this kind to meet with us next Monday evening in our council meeting where we will discuss the matter and lay plans for a campaign to again make our city park beautiful. If our citizens are willing to devote their time to this cleanup campaign we shall be pleased to cooperate as far as our resources will permit and t'he Commissioners will do all in their power to promote such a campaign. We congratulate Mr. Van Wagoner and those associated with him in the successful campaign which has provided for the city a new cement dance floor on the school grounds, and if a similar campaign can improve our city park we are in favor of it.

Peace Conference Begins With the first meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in London, the Peace Conference of World War II has begun. Unlike the Versailles Peace Conference at which the Chiefs of State convened and endeavored to reach actual concrete and final solutions, the Council of Foreign Ministers is a more or less continuous preparatory conference. Its function will be to study the various problems of the peace and to suggest solutions. The ultimate decision will in each case be ref ei red to the United Nations Organization. The Foreign Ministers of the Big Five now meeting are: Foreign Secretary Bevin of Great Britain, Foreign Commissar of the U. S. S. R., Foreign Minister Bidault of France, k Foreign Minister Wang of China, and Secretary of State Byrnes of the U. S. A. First among the agenta topics of the Council will be the drafting of peace treaties with Italy and then inland, Hungary, Rumania and Blugaria. Inevitably this task will involve careful consideration of the ways and means whereby the peoples of these countries may freely elect the governments they desire. This in turn will bring about a ventilation of the difference of opinion which appears to exist between Russia and the Western Allies with regard to the present governments of Bulgaria and Rumania. Another matter which will doubtless claim the attention of the Council is the demand reGeneral de cently voiced by Gaulle for permanent Freeh occupation of the Rhineland and for the internationalization of the Ruhr, The French are aggrieved because, as they put it, in Germany was dismembered the East without France being consulted and without any measures being taken to prevent future German aggression from turning toward the West. German Dismemberment In East Speaking of German dismemberment in the East, the Russians are carrying out extensive land reforms in those parts of Brandenbury, Saxoney and Mecklenburg now occupied by the Red Army. Large estates are being cut up into small farms of 15 to 20 acres and given to the German peasants. The German Junkers have for centuries maintained their power enormous by reason of their A large feudal land holdings. part of these holdings have been wiped out by the transfer of East Prussia, Pommerania and Silesia to Russia and Poland. Now most of those Junker estates are being divided up among the peasants, many of whom have been displaced from the of former eastern provinces Germany This probably means the end of the Junker clique Problem Of British Finances .. While the Foreign Ministers meet in London, British and Amare officials erican treasury closeted in Washington, struggling with the thorny problem of British finances In the past Great Britain has been our best customer, normalof ly taking almost our expoits. We therefore have a selfish interest in furthering British rehabilitation, quite apart from the gratitude which we owe the British people for holding the fort of freedom during the year when they stood alone. (During the period from the outbreak of war in Europe until the passage of the Lend Lease Act the British people gave up most of their export trade as well as most of their foreign investments; and durinng the subsequent operations of Lend Lease, the British made no attempt to recapture their foreign markets, devoting their entire energies to the production of foodstuffs and war materials.)
