WASHINGTON — This is the last column I shall write before taking a couple of weeks off, and naturally I should like to make it a good one. But I don't feel so good about the state of the nation, and I don't get much kick out of sitting back and Peglarizing. However, here are some contrasts affecting our future which the American public ought to know about and which Congress will have a chance to rectify—if it wants to. Contrast No. 1—Between 1200 to 2000 Chinese students are going to Moscow every month to become indoctrinated in the ways of the Soviet. Mao Tse-Tung, now the communist ruler of China, spent a long time studying in Moscow, and they will follow in his footsteps. Twenty years ago the Russians planned their domination of China by setting up a special University of the Far East. The monthly trek of students across the trans-Siberian railroad shows Moscow is still looking into the future. In contrast, the U.S.A. used to bring possibly 1200 Chinese students to this country a year, against what the Russians are bringing per month. Some of our Boxer-Rebellion educated Chinese went back to help run China, but for about 10 years almost no Chinese students have come here. When they do come they are heckled and hounded with red tape, including a bond which says they are undesirable yellowmen who promise not to remain in the U. S. A. Contrast No. 2—the Russians recently invited the publisher of three Indo-Chinese newspapers to Moscow, where they gave him a special parade of the red army, in his interview Stalin gave him... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A man named Rogers, who lives somewhere in the Santiago canyon, had two fine American fellers stolen from his pasturage the other day. It seems they were sold later to a butcher by Francisco Armento. Constable Davis is after the thief. The thermometer reached 104 degrees on Tuesday. The people of Santa Ana will hold an election on September 4, for the purpose of voting upon the question of raising $3,000 to be used in building a new schoolhouse. Hon. S. O. Houghton will arrive by this evening's train, and will address the people of Anaheim on the political aspects of the present campaign this evening. Harry Polhemus, who has been telegraph operator for the Western Union in this city, has been appointed agent for the Atlantic and Pacific line, whose office will shortly be established in this city. 50 Years Ago Prof. Bisby was over from Santa Ana a day or two ago. He advertises for sale his wood, coal and ice business, having determined to go into oil. He owns oil lands in Kern county and has a hole in the ground nearly 900 feet deep, where he expects to strike oil before the month is out. The names of a number of prominent Republicans have been mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for assembly-man, among them being Samuel Armor of Orange, J. N. Anderson and Lynn Shaw of Santa Ana, H. K. Snow of Tustin, Marco Forster of Capistrano, A. McDermont of Fullerton as well as others. 25 Years Ago News comes to Anaheim that Adolph Thomas, for many years prominent in business circles here, was married last Friday to Miss Olga Boege, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. John Bauer in Los Angeles. Mr. Thomas was founder of the German American bank, the name of which was later changed to the Golden State National and is now known as the Bank of America. The bride is the daughter of Tim Boege, one of the pioneers of this city. Both the bride and groom have long been prominent in Anaheim social circles, and they have a host of friends who will extend best wishes to them. Mrs. E. C. Schlueter and son, Edwin, left Saturday on a motor trip to the San Francisco bay region, where they will spend a couple of weeks visiting old friends. Miss Helen Wills, female tennis champion of the United States, was defeated in a contest on a New York court last week by Miss Elizabeth Ryan. Miss Ryan is a native of Anaheim, and lived on the Brookshurst ranch which was the property of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Ryan, who were well known residents of that section. Later the family moved to Santa Monica, since becoming famous as a tennis player, she has lived in England. Contrast No. 2—The Russians recently invited the publisher of three Indo-Chinese newspapers to Moscow, where they gave him a special parade of the red army, let him interview Stalin, gave him the caviar-vodka-ballet treatment, and sent him back after having spent perhaps $50,000 on his entertainment. His newspapers promptly came out for Russia. Meanwhile, in Washington we entertain such important Oriental visitors as the mayor of Tokyo and members of the Japanese parliament at cheaper hotels near the Union Station, where we allow only $10 a day to cover all meals, hotel room and everything else—all because a niggardly Congress has cut "the exchange of persons" budget to the bone. These distinguished visitors are told that President Truman is too busy to see them, though Stalin takes time to see leading Orientals. However, many state and city officials—with the notable exception of Boston—have done their best to be hospitable, while federal officials have done as much as they could within their penny-pinched budget. Contrast No. 3—In Latin America the president who is friendliest to the United States was educated at the University of Maryland and the University of California. He is president Galo Plaza of Ecuador, who also runs one of the steadiest governments in Latin America. In Argentina the Navy and Air Force are vigorously pro-American. Reason: Their commanding officers trained as cadets in the U.S.A. The Argentine army was partly trained by Germans and is anti-American. In Brazil, the navy is also strong A TALE OF TWO CITIES SCOW WHEN? THE NEXT MOVE HINGTON WHERE? why we cannot influence the world — or ourselves — with giving mankind hope. (Editor's note — While D. Pearson is on a brief vacation his column will be written members of his staff.) Colony Quips Yesterday we talked about the number of cars still being sold to eastern auctions even though there is no prorate. We no prorate shippers do not have to get their Valencias off the train until as late as they want to. Valencias are very good in fall and early winter. They have more pounds of soluble solids than in November and December. That makes them worth more. The soluble solids content of orange is what makes it good. When we Valencia grow learn what makes a consumer want our fruit and get some safe manship back into the deal to we, too, will be in the same hand as the Florida grower. But until then. We have all the ingredients Except management. The rest of this yarn is all the relam of speculation.

But I don't feel so in the state of the nation, it get much kick out back and Piglarizing. Here are some concluding our future which can public ought to act and which Congress a chance to rectify—as to.

Some of our billion educated Chinese to help run China, but 10 years almost no students have come here. They do come they are and hounded with red writing a bond which says undesirable yellowmen rise not to remain in A. No. 2—The Russians invited the publisher of Chinese newspapers to where they gave him a trade of the red army, marrying Stalin gave him for the United States because its officers went to Annapolis. The Brazilian army, trained by Europeans, did not rush to join the United States immediately after Pearl Harbor. Congress permits only a handful of Latin Americans to get a free education in the United States, but many come here at their own expense anyway. Contrast No. 4—On July 13, the State Department's appropriation for "exchange of persons" and other propaganda came up for debate, and a majority of the Senate voted to cut $2,300,000 off a budget already scaled to the bone. Those who fought for people-to-people friendship were Fulbright of Arkansas and Lehman of New York. Those who led the fight against it were McKellar of Tennessee, McCarran of Nevada, and Saltonstall of Massachusetts, with such Senators as Byrd of Virginia, George of Georgia, Taft of Ohio, McCarthy of Wisconsin, and Brewster of Maine supporting them. Meanwhile, a printer from Akron, Ohio, Fred W. Dannor, walked into the State Department and offered to compensate for the niggardiness of Congress by printing 1,000,000 colored booklets telling the story of America, free. His offer was accepted. Moral Mobilization The above pertains only to channels for telling the story of America to Americans—which is also necessary. For when we exhibit strong moral leadership at home, such leadership spills over to other countries and gives us world leadership. too. And I should like to suggest, as I quit writing and leave for my vacation, that what the world needs today—and what we need—is hope. We live too much in an age of fear. We worry constantly. We worry about what happens after we reach the 33rd Parallel orange is what makes it good. When we Valencia grow learn what makes a consumer want our fruit and get some sawnishhip back into the deal we, too, will be in the same line as the Florida grower. But until then. We have all the ingredient Except management. The rest of this yarn is all the relam of speculation. We probably should not even think about this. But we have a lot of friends who are depending on oranges their living. They are the employers who paying the salaries of a lot top brass who are not keep their growers far out of the city. A substantial grower said to the other day: "You wanted know why my salesmanager Wohlwend insisted on moving crop at the rate of 1350 car week, even if the price show nothing for the grover, did you." We were all ears and our former continued: "The big up on Fifth street is so set that the overhead can not be tall." to help run China, but 10 years almost no students have come here.

And I should like to suggest, as I quit writing and leave for my vacation, that what the world needs today—and what we need—is hope. We live too much in an age of fear. We worry constantly. We worry about what happens after we reach the 35th Parallel in Korea, what happens after the Korean war is ended? We worry about arming to the teeth, taxing ourselves to the bone, living in a world where the atomic bomb may be dropped at any moment. These are justifiable worries. They cannot be dispelled by a Pollyanna policy or the Coue (accent over E) system: The only way to dispel them, it seems to me, is by both real mobilization and total mobilization. The far-sighted Senator from Connecticut, Brien McMahon, saw this some time ago when he proposed that we take the lead in world disarmament. This is something which not only negates Moscow's cry that we are warmongers, but more than anything else, it gives the world hope. Ultimatum to Moscow The time is soon approaching, when, with both total mobilization and moral mobilization, we should notify Moscow that we are ready for any eventualities, and that we demand two things: 1. Total disarmament. 2. Normal interchange of peoples, books, newspapers; religious worship, and the end of the iron curtain. In brief, the time has come to notify Moscow that when a heavily armed nation holds itself aloof from the world, refusing to let its people know the peaceful hopes of the world, constantly preparing them for war—then such unsocial attitude constitutes war—and we give them the alternative of chang- we cannot influence the mankind hope. Editor's note — While Drewson is on a brief vacation, column will be written by others of his staff. Colony Quips Today we talked about the order of cars still being shipped to eastern auctions even when there is no prorate. With corporate shippers do not have their Valencias off the trees as late as they want to. Valencias are very good in late and early winter. They have pounds of soluble solids per November and December, which makes them worth more. Soluble solids content of an ice is what makes it taste when we Valencia growers what makes a consumer your fruit and get some saleship back into the deal then too, will be in the same boat the Florida grower. But not then. We have all the ingredients. It management. Rest of this yarn is all in jam of speculation. We probably should not even think about care of unless there is a certain movement east. Long ago the 'boys' set this figure (1350 cars a week for the industry), as one that would be an absolute minimum. The retain to carry the overhead was set with this number of cars in mind: Less cars would make a deficit or force a higher r.t.in. Changing this retain would not be impossible but it might lead to complications. It might lead to a discussion as to why the total overhead was not trimmed even in the face of heavy losses in membership caused by many growers pulling out and a short corp of Valencias. This sort of thing might cause some bad repercussions. "So the orders go out to ship. "Move the crop" and get out of the market early. Growers are not "hurt" enough yet to make any fuss. We can handle any individuals who attempt to make trouble. This is the attitude of the "hired help" which it is my pleasure, as one of their growers, to dig up my proportion of their pay check. For this I am cynically told that the Minute Maid contract was a good one—when I know what you have said is true: That it reduced the price of every Valencia orange in Southern California this year. I am supposed to think that Mr. Wilcox made a good deal for me with the British Food Ministry when he sold them concentrate which "reflects" $45 a ton for fruit. He neglected to add just what this would mean to the grower. Until the Exchange "News Letter" tells the grower that he will receive, net on the tree, in terms pounds of fruit solids it is Hal Boyle (Editor's note: This is the first of two columns comparing the fighting habits of American and North Korean soldiers.) With U.S. Troops in Korea—(T) After being pushed back steadily for five weeks, GI Joe has decided that what he calls "the Gooks" are first-rate fighting men. American soldiers first held the North Korean troops in complete contempt as a jokester army. They regarded them as a rabble of barbarians in arms, who would crumble and run at the first shock of real battle. "We wore told that the reds would probably give up and start withdrawing the moment they saw Americans drawn up to oppose them on the front," said one young officer. "And that is how we felt when we first went against them. We thought they would retreat at the mere sight of our uniforms." Never has a military force in history been more rudely dislusioned. The two below-strength infantry companies which first made a contact with the reds by artillery fire on July 5 were left dazed and unbelieving by the resulting reaction. They had expected to be heavily outnumbered. What they hadn't expected was to be outnumbered by a trained group of fighters with more tanks, anti-tank guns and automatic weapons than the Americans had. I know what you have said is true: That it reduced the price of every Valencia orange in Southern California this year. I am supposed to think that Mr. Wilcox made a good deal for me with the British Food Ministry when he sold them concentrate which "reflects" $45 a ton for fruit. He neglected to add just what this would mean to the grower. Until the Exchange "News Letter" tells the grower that he will receive, net on the tree, in terms pounds of fruit solids, it is guilty of deceit. Seventy odd cents a box is not enough for me." Close quote, end of conversation. We again urge everyone to read this week's Collier's magazine. (Aug. 12, on stands now). It contains a simple, factual, illustrated article on just what has been happening in Florida since frozen concentrate. You will be able to judge about how far our own citrus leaders lag behind the parade in making a return to their growers. They are doing OK for themselves but the California Valencia growers are taking the licking. Go to Church on Sunday.
