International Agency
To Develop Resources
Asked by Wallace
Says Economic Justice
Must Be Assured
To Preserve Peace

The Axis faces certain" mill
tary defeat now, but a new, less
crazy, and therefore more dan
gerous, Hitler" will arise to lead
a new war of aggression unless
the United Nations make secure
the peace to follow this war,
Vice President Wallace declared
last night.
He called for continued inter-
national cooperation after the war
to enforce peace" and build it on
q solid foundation of economic JUS
tice," with some sort of United Ma
tions financial agency to help de-
velop resources and prevent un-
employment throughout the world.
The Vice President. who recently
outlined his postwar ideas in q
speech on the anniversary of Wood
row Wilson's birth, amplified his
statements in an interview with
Raymond Clapper, columnist, which
was broadcast last night by the
Mutual Broadcasting System.
There are many in high posi-
tions in the Axis today" Mr.. Wallace
said, who know that military de-
feat Is certain for Germany and
Japan Therefore, as soon as de-
feated, the Axis will turn it's atten-
tion to winning the peace and laying
the foundation for World War No. 3.
Germany and Japan will win the
peace and also World War No. 8 If
we follow the same methods as we
did last time. Even If Hitler and
the top criminals are all blotted out,
the competent brains down the line
in the German army would still re-
main to plan economic and fifth
column war as a preliminary to the
next military aggression under a
new, less crazy, and therefore more
dangerous Hitler
He warned that zone of the fifth
column detectives will be to drive a
wedge between the United States
and England and between the
United States and Russia"
Asserting that he believes -four
out of five Americans are con-
vinced that 1t is a good thing to
use power to enforce peace" Mr..
Wallace said that. while force is
important, 1T is not enough" with
out economic justice.
Il am sure that unless continuous,
strenuous and united efforts are
made to attain economic justice, d"
he added, 1T will be impossible to
prevent military war by any type OF
force"
In this connection, he urged re-
newal of the Administrations recip-
rocal trade agreements program for
which authority expires June 30,
declaring that 1.-The first round in
the battle for just peace will come
during the next two or three
months" when Congress Is asked to
extend this authority.
He said that without the recipro-
cal trade program the United States
would be in the position of creditor
nation which, by insisting on high
tariff policies and on debtor nations
paying not in goods but in money,
lis like man who takes a boy by
the back of his neck and pulls the
boy toward him, but at the same
time he pokes stick in his stomach
and pushes him away"
Works Projects Needed.
Turning to the need for an inter-
national program to develop re-
sources and prevent unemployment,
Mr.. Wallace said that "of course"
he did not believe the United States
should finance it, but that there
should be "a United Nations f1nan-
cial agency to handle certain types
Of projects"
AS possible projects for such an
agency to handle he mentioned "a
combined highway and airway all
the way from Buenos Aires to Mos
COW by way Of Alaska and Siberia" !"
and the building of "the interna-
tional airports which are absolutely
vital if the international air force is
to safeguard the peace cheaply and
efficiently"
There is no reason why the in
ternational airports used for police
enforcement purposes cannot also
be used for peaceful commerce, :"
he added. He suggested that "in-
ternational authorities" could be
set up in somewhat the same way
as the IVA or the New York Port
Authority.
Asks Farm Program.
Another field for international
cooperation, Mr.. Wallace said, may
lie in control of farm surpluses to
prevent a depression in farm prices.
He pointed out that several of the
United Nations have set a pattern
for meeting this problem in the in
ternational wheat agreement, al
ready signed, and suggested appli-
cation Of the same principle to other
raw materials that move in world
trade.
