Msgr. Ryan Declares
Lease-Lend Will HeIp
Bring Europe Peace
BY the Associated Press,


CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Lease- lend
lis the answer" to Europe's re-
Mobilization problems in the transi-
ton from war to peace and will help
avoid war debt squabbling." Msgr
John A. Ryan of Washington said
today.
Msgr. Ryan, director of the De-
partment of Social Action of the
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence, in an address before the Cath
olic Economic Association conven-
ton. urged "the more fortunate
nations" to send devastated coun-
tries adequate relief, and asserted
the menace of revolution" will fade
by so doing.
These goods, he said, should come
mot as loans, not as outright gifts,
but simply as assistance or as char
ity in the most effective and realistic
sense of that noble word.
Let the beneficiaries assume the
obligations of making a return in
such kinds and quantities as will be
mutually agreeable" He said he
thought the industrial power freed
on German defeat would be more
than ample" to produce the needed
goods
Raymond J. Saulnier. professor in
the Naval School of Military Gov
ernment at Columbia University,
discussed the economic aspects of
military government.
1T seems to me-" he said, that
there are two lessons as to the pre-
requisites for social stability to be
gained from our present experiences.
THE first is that we must acceler-
ate relief. Social instability is due
in large part to poverty and squalor.
The second is a greater degree of
participation by the peoples of the
liberated countries in their national
affairs"

The BAE report said civilian sup
plies for the first quarter of 1945
will be smaller than in the same
period of 1914 in the case of meats,
poultry, butter, evaporated milk, po-

Despite these reductions, civilians
will not be faced with any overall
food shortage" the bureau said,
adding that supplies will make pos
