There are two chief reasons why
such an International financial pro-
gram will be to the disadvantage of
the private banker although by no
meanl all bankers oppose it. One
is that the governments of nations
will control the world fiscal policy
and not the leading private inter-
national bankers who had the con-
troll before The second is that in
the long run, as sponsors of the plan
admit, it will lower interest rates.
Those two reasons are not stressed
by the vocal opponents of the
measure before members of con-
gress. Many other objections, some
highly technical, are set forth. The
main suggestion in the report Of a
committee of the American Bankers
association is that because Of I'M
settled political conditions through
out the world, any action ought to
be postponed until these conditions
stabilize. They say that the nations

the program before it is presented
to the congress.
Some of the changes suggested are
prompted by honest conviction,
some are due, according to treasury
officials, to misinterpretation Of the
program. There is a group in the
United States which says that the
United States will come out Of the
little end of the horn under the ar
rangement and that the British sold
us bill Of goods. There is group
in England which says that Brit,
ain will come out Of the little end
of the horn and that the United
States sold their representatives
bill Of goods.
Some weeks ago in this column I
tried to explain "why Germany
came back after its defeats in
France.
May I be permitted to explain
why the Nazis couldn't come back
for the second time?
Once again we have to consider.
not the military organization Of Ger
many alone, but the civilian or
ganization as well. Nazi discipline,
because 1t was built on an entirely
anti-human foundation, finally col
lapsed. 1t was a discipline Of ID de-
ceit, co force. Both were bound to
fail in the end because it failed
to take into consideration one thing
which the 7Nazis refuse to admit
exists-the human soul.
Naziism with threats, brute force,
and an organization which could
carry out the threats and exercise
the force, was effective up to GER
tain point. Then it failed.
It's strength was in bending the
twig," as I tried to point out in my
earlier analysis. Youth worshipped
the false god of Naziism as long as
its clay feet could be concealed.
Youth knew no other god. But the
moment the clay feet crumbled in
the defeat Of it's armies lie. force
faileO youth deserted.

Maybe Chairman King of the w. P. B. is correct when he tells us there is a few hundred thousand reconversion jobs open at the pres ent date. Will MT. King please tell us where they are? And If he can, just how we can possibly live on the wages we get with the cut- backs in hours we have taken?
 Here at the Electric Boat Com pany the average man is receiving the same hourly rate he received one year ago, but his take home pay is from fourteen to twenty-one dollars a week less, according to his trade and wage rate.
 The cost of living here in Grot- on and New London has gone up about 4q6 in that year. l dare say this has happened in all parts of the country. That is the reason that the nation is suffering so many strikes at this time. Though our pay checks are smaller the cost of living from rents, foodstuffs, clothing, and coal and wood re- main at the same high level. The only hope for the worker to get in his coal supply is to rob Peter to pay Paul. Our stomachs and backs must suffer
 Unless Labor organizes and takes a bigger part in the reconversion program we will go back to the same old depression that we had after World War I. The working man must educate himself to the facts at hand to be ready to do his own fighting and not have to de- pend on politicians who are out to

Hurley's opinion of 1t. Gen. Albert
Wedemeyer in China and the wit
ness paid tribute to his ability.
In answer to another question
about Gen. George C.. Marshall,
named as special envoy to China
after Gen. Hurley resigned. The
witness said he hoped and believed
he would be successful in China.
Senator Bridges asked if Gen.
Hurley knew of orders supposedly
issued to Gen. Marshall to demand
cooperation between Chungking and
the Communists If American as
sistance was to be continued.
Gen. Hurley did not reply directly
He said that he had always worked
for cooperation but insisted that the
Communists become real political
party and not an armed" group.
Russia Held Doubtful.
He then stated that If the COM
mittee would obtain the State De-
partment documents he wanted they
would show that certain American
factions wanted to arm the Com
munists.
At this point, Gen. Hurley stated
that Russia did not regard the
Chinese Communists as real Com
munists in the Russian sense and
did not want them armed.
Il believe" he said, that the
United States and Russia still are in
accord on Chinese policy"
Chiang's Stand Commended.
In reply to other questions, Gen.
Hurley praised Chang for fighting
like a tiger" He said that State
Department career men" were re-
porting that Chang was negotiating
for peace with the. Japs. Chang
received numerous offers, he said,
but he reported to the State De-
partment there was never any ques-
ton about the generalissimo's 10y
atty to the United Nations"
At this point, the testimony re-
turned to Dean Acheson and Gen.
Hurleys service in Iran. The in
formation, he said, already had
leaked in a 'garbled form
Gen. Hurley said, however, that
in view of his interest in American
foreign policy, he would not submit
the data he had in mind.
But I have it," he added.
He said that most of the foreign
service men in the Near East, as
we'll as Wallace Murray, former
chief, and 10y Henderson, present
chief, do support administration
policy.
Roosevelt Policy Defeated.
Gen. Hurley added. however, that
the Near Eastern policy of President
Roosevelt and former Secretary OF
State Stettinius was defeated by Mr.
Acheson. He said he did not know
what career men" backed him.
Gen. Hurley had told the commit
tee yesterday he would try to obtain
documents from the State Depart
ment to support his charges that
Mr.. Acheson and Mr.. Service at
tempted to destroy" the Chinese
Central Government "
Both men now are on the staff
of Gen. Macarthur in Tokyo.

dispatch, today quoted Mr.. Atche-
son as saying that he would make a
statement tomorrow in, answer to
Gen. Hurley's charges. Meanwhile
he refused comment.

He added that while President Tru-

man and Secretary of State Byrnes
apparently had supported the AM
bassador privately, they had failed
to do so publicly.
Senator Bridges said that he
would like to have the answers to
these questions:

ordinates try to undermine his
work?
2 Why are they still holding re-
sponsible positions in the diplomatic
service?

he had to send a telegram to Cor

The chairman then questioned
Gen. Hurley about his service in
Palestine, Iran, 1raq and Saudi
Arabia.
Did the career men interfere
with you in these places?" Senator
Connally asked.
Gen. Hurley answered mo" until
Senator Connally came to Iran.
Yes, they decidedly interfered
with me there" he said, vigorously

Senator Connally asked.
Dean Acheson," he replied.
When Chairman Connally called
on him for evidence, Gen. Hurley
said he could produce documentary
proof, but don't think you want
it in the record"
After a controversy with the
chairman, he finally said he was
forced to "tell what really tran
spired."
He said he prepared for President
Roosevelt the declaration of the
three powers at the Iran Confer
ence. He then presented a photo
static copy of the document which
he said was presented later at the
Moscow Conference by Secretary
Hull in October, 1943.
Hurley Asks for Courtesy.
At this point the chairman and
Gen. Hurley entered into another
sharp exchange. The envoy, in a
calm voice, said he was attempting
to conduct his testimony on high
plane and asked for courteous
treatment.
do you approve of President
Truman's policies?" Senator Con-
nally asked.
Yes" Gen. Hurley answered.
Did you approve of President
Roosevelts policies?"
Il approved of the Atlantic Char
ter and the Iran Declaration" He
added there were certain policies of
the Roosevelt administration which
he did not think originated with
the President.
Reads Iran Declarati0
Gen. Hurley then read the Iran
Declaration, promising to recognize
the country's independence and ter
ritorial integrity.
He pointed out that while it had
been said that the Atlantic Charter
was never signed, its principles were
embodied in the Iran Declaration
That, he pointed out, was signed by
President Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain.
Chairman Connally told Gen.
Hurley that the State Department
was preparing to furnish the docu-
ments he referred to yesterday re-
garding Chinese policy. He added
they were not ready yet.
The reference to Undersecretary
FAcheson came later in Gen. Hur-
ley's testimony. A discussion ofother
issues delayed further testimony on
the generals specific charges against
the Undersecretary.
Arrest of Service in Record.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire then read into the
record State Department announce
ments relating to the arrest of John
S. Service, former diplomat in China,
on a charge of making public state
secrets and letter written to Mr..
Service by Secretary of State Byrnes
congratulating him when he was
cleared by a grand jury.
Gen. Hurley had charged yester-
day that Mr.. Service reported to the
State Department, suggesting that

all the facts he thought that an
