Show A housewives POINT OF VIEW like a lot of other americans I 1 was rankled by the abrupt dismissal by president truman of one ot of the great generals of 0 our time I 1 believed that general douglas macarthur did not do de help it if they desire wash canner thoroughly before using it and before storing it it must be absolutely clean it if you are to get efficient and economic operation era tion dried food dirt and hard water scale on the edges of f kettle or cover will cause steam leeks leake land and resulting loss losa of efficiency botill fi fici ency scrub the edges of both kettle land and cover using whiting and water it scouring Is needed when n washing never immerse the lid in water it if canner has a tubber lubber gasket keep it clean and grease tree free it if the gasket in use wont make a perfect sea seal get a new one make alake sure that openings to jhb petcock safety valve and pressure guage or weight control are clean it if openings are clogged during canning all air may not be driven out in the time allowed for venting or the safety valve may fall to work when pressure becomes too high the openings may be cleaned by drawing a string narrow strip of cloth or pipe cleaner through them serve such shabby treatment and so when hen I 1 read in a dally daily paper a few weeks ago that within IL a weeks time three notables from the far east had been in salt lake and all three expressed the thought that general macarthur Ala cArthur was not popular la ia the Fa Pa I 1 perused the article further it seems that a dr J was the third man to express this idea the story said that lie he was touring the united states state as a guest of the state department and he is credited in the story with saying we in the east fear stalin no more than we tear fear the west I 1 could understand why the state department would welcome the expression of this man regarding general macarthur as that Is their position but I 1 understand der stand why any country east or west should feiar fear us so I 1 made a few inquiries and lame came to the conclusion that maybe there Is something to this fear of us my inquiries were directed to to senator wallace F bennett who gave me some material tor for very serious thought the points made by senator bennett Den uett overshadowed over shadowed my first reaction to the doctors visit vik to the united states suddenly it 11 became unimportant to me that this indonesian had bad a two month trip back and forth across the continent with side aide trips to jackson role hole and grand canyon all at the expense of the taxpayers of the country the important thing Is what our foreign polley policy under the present administration min Is doing to our friends of the world senator bennett addressed colgate policy conference on july 25 1951 and in preparing Us his speech which he entitled are arc we L losing friends abroad he asked tills this question of people of various occupations all over the world his answers came in seven languages and from mole moie than 40 people approximately ly halt half from americans living a broad but not employed by the government no but almost every answer showed resentment 9 sent e ment that we i would even th t think ink of such a thing almost every letter said no but qualified the statement with such euch qualifications as the marshall plan aid has been appreciated because it does doe represent material wealth actual dollars and that through it we are only sharing the benefits accruing to us ua because wilile while their economics were devastated by war oure our was waa untouched the fly in the ointment the most important criticism offered regarded our foreign policy here according to senator bennetts analysis they fall into two distinct areas the first grows out of our relations with russia during and immediately after the war the second Is described as our governments policy of antl anti colonialism to quote from senator bennetts speech these phases of our relations lat iotis with russia seem to disturb our friends most first we helped russia both during the war and after with arms supplies and materials for production through lend lease the people near the russian border feel this most the people of finland have always ays admired us today they still trust us and forgive us though they cannot forget that we failed them in their time of crisis the second criticism acco according 1119 to senator bennetts compilation of the letters comes from france and the low countries it is that after the war we were solely responsible for letting the russians into the heart of europe so that today their outposts are far west of their previous frontiers one frenchman notes that the russians are only miles from parts paris one austrian complains that though we were in vienna first we allowed the russians to take over their most fertile lands of the two occupations they preferred the german rule dubious of our concern third our sudden concern to day about the defense ot of europe eurom with our lack of 0 concern c contrasted ont at the end of the war makes them a little e cynical the fact that we let the russians in and then pulled out our ourselves selve s leaving their nations without effective defens e gives gibes them justification for the belled belief that our foreign policy la Is unstable that it blows hot and cold after they have lived literally within the reach of the communists for six years they are surprised that we take for indifference their inability to phlp blip up new emotions for our sudden concern th aliey ey wonder if our concern now Is not more for our own than theirs taken in quoting fur further ther looking back at our rela relations eions with russia during and after the past world war there are apparently still many I 1 in n europe who feel that our foreign policy must have been influenced by the kremlin either di or without our knowing it the latter seems to them in some ways to have been the more serious possibility they believe that we have been stupidly taken in one writer says saya that he believes we deserve the war in korea it may teach us a good and needed lesson and be worth all our losses it if our eyes at least have been opened Is it any of our business the phrase anti colonialism describes the second foreign policy question that apparently Is ex efting a strain on our mutual friendship all european nations with colonies are aware of it but it is the most real for the dutch and french who are now facing the threat of communism in their east india colonies ahey hey say that when natives in ia colonial territories talk of freedom and 8 self elt government we accept their depre isen Bent atlon tation at face value but say the french we are apparently too NAIVE and inexperienced to see that these supposed indigenous movements are at once the mask for communism and its tool the senator was most moat disturbed by an implication in a letter from AL a dutchman who said bitter y many people in the netherlands believe that as a quid pro quo one thing tor for another for the marshall plan aid to holland their government had to agree to the even eventual der of it indian colonies 1 l vicious circle all of which brings nig me back to my original cot c dr alti ot of east java who has hag be U ing ng the united state as a k of tile the state DeP
