This Week in Washington by Clinton Davidson Arsenal of Peace lop government farm of ficials from five Free World nations met recently in Washington for two days, then left with no more than a brief note in the press that they had been here. Those who know what was discussed think that yvhat they began here could very well have a greater bearing on the future peace of the world than anything to be accomplished at the Summit Conference in Gene va. start was made toward use of the tiemendous Free World reserve of food to counter Russian propa ganda among the uncommit ted nations of the world. The countries participating in the meeting were the U. S., France, Canada, Australia and Argentina, The conference was the first step in the “food for peace” proposal advanced early this year by President Eisenhower in a special mes sage to Congress. Officials described it as “largely ex ploratory.” Bread on the waters Agreement was reached, tentatively, on a program for sharing the surpluses of wheat held by the five na tions with the more than half a billion people in the world who go to bed hungry every night. The five agricultural min isters took home, for appro val of their governments, proposals that could make available almost immediate ly some two billion bushels of wheat for distribution to nations in short supply of food. It was agreed to encourage underdeveloped -nations to -set up their own national food reserves, using wheat received from the five ex porting nations Following the example al ready set by the U .S , the four other countries will con sider making wheat avail able anywhere in the Free World in exchange for the currency of the receiving nation. Two Purposes The food surplus produc ing nations have two prim ary objectives in undertake mg a food for peace pro gram. They want to combat communism in the nations where hunger makes it easy for the Reds to spread their propoganda. Too, they want to turn food surpluses from a finan cial burden into an asset for peace, and as the prelimin ary to long-time customers for our farms and factories. Four of the five nations represented at the meeting have the ability to , greatly expand their food ‘ product turn. France is the exception Although wheat currently is in the greatest surplus, many other foods also are avail able. The eventual goals of the food for peace .program is to keep farmers in the Free World fully and profitably employed while, at the same time, making food available to peoples of the underdevel oped nations under long-term agreements. The reasoning is that com munism cannot flourish in nations that are well fed and clothed. This is a long-range goal ivhose success or fail ure could mean the differ ence between war and peace without fear of hunger. ICE CREAM AND FRUIT Were made for each other.

An American will think of the familiar examples of Washington and Lincoln who went through dark times when no one, that is to say nobody who ear ned much weight; seemed to be on their side'; times' when they even" wondered if they could be on God’S side. Any one who speaks for a cause which-has not vet become popular, any one who speaks cour ageously against- the prevailing wands of belief in hi? time, will feel sooner or later that he, stands alone. Prophets In Flight It has often been so with God’s prophets. Indeed, ’’the picture our minds draw for us, of brave proph ets bearding tyrants m their pal aces, judgments on nations and individuals, men un afraid, not caring what men might say or do so long as they were speaking for God, that picture does not always the proph et, Elijah, a brave man most of the time, but running now, run ning away, as far away as his legs would take him. And fiom what? Just a woman. Tiue, she had threatened to butcher him But Elijah had lived through threats before The thing was, this woman •was a queen, so much a queen that her wretched husband never dared say No to her When she thieat ened to do anything bad, you could be sure her heart (a bad one) was m it! So when they told Elijah what she said, he lost no time get tmg~6ut of there.
