Senator Knowland states that a decisive turn in world history hinges on the next 30 days and urges forceful action by the free world in Asia. He argues speeches and treaties won’t deter Communists and calls for Pacific power to be ready, with US, Britain, France, Australia, Formosa and Korea as potential allies.

Cotton Futures Drift Lower in Quiet Market
New York June 5 Cotton futures edged down in a narrow market on the New York Cotton Exchange with losses of 35 to 65 cents a bale. Support came from export demand and price support expectations, while bearish factors included government loan withdrawals and reduced mill buying amid production curtailments and plant vacations. The October contract faced selling pressure from price outlook worries, later offset by hopes farm bloc leaders will sustain 90 percent parity. Repossessions from the 1953 loan drew continued attention as weekly withdrawals reached 107,000 bases, boosting season totals to 1,325,000 and leaving 5,506,000 bales in net stock.
