The American farmer is oing to lick communism! ,"N Thats what your worried capital is saying today. American representatives abroad and at home are submitting one report after another which register gains in the Soviet battle to build a Communistic world out of chaos. The reports come In from Prague, from Belgrade, from Sofia, from d Budapest, showing how each day the iron grip of the secret police is gradually choking off democracy in the little countries. ComReports from Rome fell us of a planned coup of the Moscow-directemunistic party In Italy to overflow the government there. The open record of the meetings of the United Nations reveals the consistent attempt of the Russian delegation to block the efforts of the struggling, still-fre- e governments In Greece and France. ...

Part of the country seems unsym-pathetic- or least , at Indifferent, toward the effort to win the "cold war against Russia with pure-l- y economl weapons, c because it meant sacrifices on the part of the American citizen. Some officials in the administration, supporters of the Marshall plan in congress. and a few diplomats at horn and abroad, nrn frightened by this attitude. Until recently this correspondent has been pretty much distressed, too. But I feel better after talking with certain officials whose names seldom appear in the news. These men are not cabinet officers, they are not diplomats, they are not the leaders in congress whose faces appear in the newa pictures and whose adumbratioift are quoted in the daily dispatches.

The United Nations food snd agriculture organization estimated it aa 70 million bushels against our 400 million .bushels, as stated above. Our own situation, we admit, la not too good. Nevertheless, We are in a much better position on a competitive basis, than Russia. There appears little doubt In the minds of the men most familiar with the facta that when the full force' of this situation and what it means is realized in this country,. Europe may be saved for democracy and the American farmer will have at least s of the credit due him. 7, NEWS REVIEW Sliowdotvii Near in U.N., Grain Exports Reduced Atom After-Effec- ts Secretary of State George MaAlthough the atom bomb explorilyn sounded like a man who was getting a lot of things off his chest. sions in Japan have caused some What he said in an address before sterility among the people, they the U.

Well, I asked a friend of mine, Paul .Ward of the Baltimore ,Sun, who got this story from Russian, a good Communist, whom he met In Moscow. After, a few vodkas the Rusttky used to tell stories. This was one: Stalin and Roosevelt were driving through the countryside. A cow got Into the road in front of them and wouldn't move. The driver tried to shoo it away bnt it wouldn't budge. Finally. Stalin got out, went up to the cow and whispered Into its ear. The cow gave one frightened look, Jumped over the fence and disappeared In the distance. "What did you say to the cow to make It do that?" Roosevelt asked. Stalin smiled. "Don't tell anybody, but I said to her: If you don't get ont of here, but quick, IU put you on a collective The move generally was accounted as another noble stand against the forces which are causing domestic food prices to spiral dizzily This one, however, had the blessings of the grain trade as "a step in the right direction." Reducing the export allocations for November was in line with the governments surprise revision of the nations 1947 export goal from some 450 million bushels of grain down to 35b million. (In a significant sidelight. An- -' derson scoffed at the prospect of returning to rationihg by pointing out that such a pro-- . gram could not be put into effect before the need for it would be over.) Next move, it was hinted, would be an attempt by Secretary Anderson to put through a sharp reduction of total food exports not just gram as the only practical way of pulling down prices. The U. S. state department, however, committed to its "save Europe program, no doubt would object vehemently to any such action. Forrestal In James V. Forrestal wasnt due to be sworn in as U.

This step also has been considered by members of the Truman cabinet, and they are not at all happy about it. They feel that new price controls never would get by congress, would result only in more unless accompanied by rationing. And nobody wants to have rationing come back. However, the council of economic advisers, a group of experts picked from neither political party, is concerned not with what congress may or may not think, but solely with heading off depression. And they informed the President: 1. That the present runaway prices coupled with inflation will continue for some time. 2. That continuation will lead to real depression, rather than a recession. They also cautioned that the public which makes up the vast majority of the nations consumers has been using up its savings, because prices are so high that they cant pay their bills out of present Income. ..
