Mr. Truman's SUSCEPTIBLE TO COLDS i A study of head colds shows that women have more colds, than men and people who sit ; Bid TRUMAN is both courageous and PRESIDENT realistic in asking Congress to provide seventeen billion dollars to provide aid for sixteen European nations between now and 1952 by which time, it is, estimated, they should be back on their own feet economically or, in other words, will have sufficiently 'recovered from the disastrous effects of war to get along by themselves in a normal way. The President has been courageous because it can be assumed that he is going to have a hitter fight against strong opposition to put the program over. The vast financial outlay borders something on the realm of the fantastic and will require a lot of explaining. Mr. Truman has been realistic because he has appraised the situation and makes bold announcement of the need. It is needed and there is no use trying to underestimate the requirements. The whole .plan is based, of course, on the premise that economic restoration of Europe, even at so vast n price, is essential to the future prosperity and economic equilibrium of the United States and the whole world. The frank acceptance of a policy whereby half of the money will be used in Canada and Latin America involves sound economics. In the first ' place, the United States has not all the goods itself. Secondly, the expenditure of the money elsewhere in American countries rich in resources will contribute to their healthy economy. At the same time there will be obviated undue inflation in the United States which would result from huge demand for goods in short supply. AT LEAST A START tta union men and the workers of the WHILE! nation as a whole have been getting increases in pay during the past few years, the white-col-. laved' people of the government service have been having to get along with very little more and there will be few to find fault with the Prime Minister's announcement Friday that they are to get bod?tGeWainly if thtre ave aVy people in the country wlio deserve an increase, it is they. That will .be accepted in any place where there is .a federal civil service worker. In fact, it has been too long deferred. In the long run. it may not average out so verv much and probablv is not communsurate with the increased cost of living but, still, it is something and, such as it is, will be appreciated The criticism of the increase in pensions for veterans and dependents will also be that it is not suf f 'cienly adequate. Twentv-five million dollars sounds like a lot of mrmev b'ji, th field.it is to cover in this case includes a lot of people.

Mr National Highways For the past two years an In creasing pressure has been directed toward the Canadian government advocating a na tional highway system. Provincial governments and numerous organizations nave stressed the need for a Domin ion-wide plan that would Include at least one iirst-class trans-Canada route. Latest western body to support the cause is the B.C. Liberal Associ ation. Without federal aid the prov inces are struggling to recon struct and extend highways and roads which were saaiy neglected during the war years a national highway system, were pointed out by Hon. J.'"S.'Mc-Diarmid, Manitoba's resources minister, when he addressed the Dominion-provincial tourist conference In Ottawa recently. At the same gathering, L. H.
