Self-Defense
Cited For U. S.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22—(AP)
— President Truman says this
country must stand ready in self
defense so long as some in the
world respond to our hand of
friendship with a mailed fist.
Speaking at an Arlington Ceme
tery ceremony yesterday after
noon, Mr. Truman pictured the
world as deeply divided between
free and captive peoples.
“There is no appeal to the
brotherhod of men who live in
daily fear of the concentration
camp. Until the captive peoples
of the world emerge from dark
ness, they cannot see the hand we
hold out in friendship.
“While they are made to re
spond to our hanaciasp with a
mailed fist, we have no choice but
to stand ready in self-defense.”
Government statisticians esti
mate that the rat population of the
U. S. is at leas 140,000,000, about
equally divided between farm and
city.
Rats are declared to cause an
annual! damage of arcund $2,000-
000,000 in this country, of which
about half is the food supplies they
