NEW SECRETARY OF COMMERCE In selecting W. Averell Harriman to succeed Henry Wallace as Secretary of Commerce, President Truman was undoubtedly trying to counteract, as much as possible, the unhappy situation which he got himself, Secretary Byrnes and the rest of the country into when he approved the Wallace speech and was then forced by public opinion to fire him. Since Harriman is an outspoken exponent of the "friendly, but firm" policy toward Russia, his appointment served to further strengthen the hand of Secretary Byrnes and to give added indication to the Kremlin that the Wallace views were neither those of the administration nor of the American people as a whole. As far as our domestic scene is concerned, Harriman will be far more acceptable to American businessmen than Wallace ever could have been. As Secretary of Commerce, he should mean more than those of his subordinates. But virtually every word his subordinates speak, and every move they make, follows strict instructions from the Kremlin. So that leaves us where we started. If Molotov and Gromyko become less bellicose in their attitude at the peace conference and in the United Nations Security Council this will give the tail wagging some real significance. There can be no doubt that Stalin wants peace. The whole world wants peace. But that doesn't guarantee it. Even Hitler wanted peace so long as he could expand without war. But when his expansionist aims were finally blocked war came. The question is, are the Communists willing to forego enough of their avowed aims—which still apparently include world revolution—in order to preserve the peace? We hope they are. HOW POTENT? In the disagreement Premier Stalin and Genie hower as to the potential atomic bomb most of them inclined to string a "Ike" for several reasons one, unless Russian have made more programmatic lines than we re-enhower knows a good about the weapon than Since Harriman is an outspoken exponent of the "friendly, but firm" policy toward Russia, his appointment served to further strengthen the hand of Secretary Byrnes and to give added indication to the Kremlin that the Wallace views were neither those of the administration nor of the American people as a whole. As far as our domestic scene is concerned, Harriman will be far more acceptable to American businessmen than Wallace ever could have been. As Secretary of Commerce Wallace was never anything but a square peg in a round hole. One thing the new commerce department chief has made clear: he won't make speeches on our foreign affairs. Bravo! STALIN AND PEACE The words of peace recently uttered by Josef Stalin which included his assurance that there is no "real danger of a 'new war'" makes Russia look like the dog which wags its tail and barks at the same time. Which end are we to believe? While Stalin wags the Soviet tail in a friendly manner Molotov and Gromyko keep the Soviet bark going full blast. The world wants to believe Stalin. He is the top man and there can be no doubt that Stalin wants peace. The whole world wants peace. But that doesn't guarantee it. Even Hitler wanted peace so long as he could expand without war. But when his expansionist aims were finally blocked war came. The question is, are the Communists willing to forego enough of their avowed aims—which still apparently include world revolution—in order to preserve the peace? We hope they are. It doesn't take an international expert to realize that there is no danger of a war between Russia and the western nations now. But 15 or 20 years from now—what then? That will be the real testing time for by 1960 or 1965 Russia should have recovered substantially from World War II. If Stalin meant what he said, however, and if Russian attitude toward the democracies becomes genuinely cooperative, there should be no danger of war at any time. 'TILL WE "MEAT" AGAIN American consumers, who are getting pretty hungry for meat, have found little consolation in the statement of Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson that there is plenty of beef and pork— A Sporting Team JACKETS and SLACKS FINE FABRICS FINE TAILORING Here are the kind of clothes that team up together—team up with autumn. Superbly tailored jackets and precisely tailored slacks in an assortment of fine fabrics. Many styles in all sizes. Swanberger's 145 WEST CENTER PHONE 4130 ANAHEIM GAZETTE on the range. What concerns them most is how soon that beef and pork will appear in appreciable quantities on the butcher's counters. But Mr. Anderson is not very optimistic in this respect, saying it will be "months to come" before the situation shows any real improvement. Meanwhile, the storm of protest against the scarcity of meat grows louder and more insistent. John W. McCormack, house majority leader, took cognizance of the protests and appealed to OPA Director Paul Porter to suspend price controls on meat and some of the other foods that are scarce, for 60 days in order to ease the situation. But the likelihood of cellings being removed is not very great. Both Mr. Porter and Mr. Anderson feel that there shouldn't be any increase in meat prices—and prices would certainly rise again if controls were removed. The only catch is that the housewife couldn't be any worse off than she is now since it's no advantage to her to have prices held down on something she can't find to buy. But apparently that isn't causing the OPA Director and the Secretary of Agriculture much concern. They'll let the housewife worry about it. HOW POTENT? In the disagreement between Premier Stalin and General Eisenhower as to the potency of the atomic bomb most of us would be inclined to string along with "Ike" for several reasons. For one, unless Russian scientists have made more progress along atomic lines than we realize, Eisenhower knows a good deal more about the weapon than does Stalina.

San Diego is agitated over an eagle which lately alighted on a flagstaff in that city. It is claimed to be an omen of the coming railroad and to mark the exact location of the terminus. The Union says: "This belief was confirmed by its taking wing and going in a straight line to the railroad lands and returning to the flag-pole again, where it remained all night. At daylight it disappeared, leaving the superstitious to discuss the object of the eagle's visit. Rome's goose and Poe's raven were used as powerful arguments on both sides.

For one, unless Russian scientists have made more progress along atomic lines than we realize, Eisenhower knows a good deal more about the weapon than does Stalin. Another reason is that Stalin was undoubtedly minimizing the importance of the bomb for political reasons. But that doesn't make it any less powerful.
