Refreshingly sweet was the Allied Control Council's unanimity on sugar taxation for Germany last week. Treacly sweet was the notation that: "British and American representatives associated themselves with an expression of congratulation by General Koenig to Marshal Sokolovsky on his elevation to the high rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union. Representatives of the U.S., the Soviet Union and Great Britain also congratulated General Koenig on his promotion to the rank of Army General."

John Safran had come a long way to the job he had just lost. For twelve years a Detroit attorney (ten years in U.A.W. Lawyer Maurice Sugar's office), he abandoned the law in 1943 to study for the ministry. Only last June, at the age of 37, he was ordained and appointed to Marysville's single Protestant church...

The 3½? per Ib. that the U.S. would pay for most of it, though only half the world price, still guaranteed a profit...
Twice since 1900 the Hawaiian sugar industry has been seriously threatened by bugs: 1) the sugar-cane leaf hopper was brought under control by parasites imported from New Guinea, Australia and China; 2) the anomola beetle was eventually laid low by a bug from Manila. A dramatic victory was won over the voracious avocado mealy bug, a native of Mexico. One of his old enemies was brought over from Mexico, and now both bug and parasite have disappeared...
