COMMISSION
0KAYS U. S. PLAN

Security council which must give
final approval to the plan.
Baruch has announced that the
United States would not join an
atomic agreement which failed to
prohibit use of the veto.
GromyKo's declaration was in
%terpreted as an indication he might
invoke the big power veto right to
kill the report, or at least a sec
ton providing that the five big
powers would surrender their right
to veto punishment of nations who
violate atomic control agreements.
This fear was voiced openly by
Polish Delegate Oscar Lange, who
said he was abstaining from voting
because he felt the report contain
ed provisions which would not be
accepted by all the five permanent
members of the Security council.
The final vote came after Lange
suggested that those who could not
accept the report completely should
be permitted to submit written
reservations to the commission
chairman, DR.. Manuel Vallarta of
Mexico, who would send them to
the Security Council in a letter OF
transmittal.
The suggestion was accepted and
Vallarta Immediately called for a
roll call vote. In explaining the
voting procedure, Vallarta asked
that those abstaining say Il alb
stain" He brought a smile from
Gromyko when he added land

When the chairman called fol

reservations, however, must be ir

81 deadline for the submission o.

Informed quarters said there
was little likelihood that the re-

delegates said Gromyko might seel

Today And Tomorrow

take it, the view Of the Council OF
Economic Advisers, attested by
their warning-which is much the
most important single statement
in their report-that 1.-The very in
dustries which feature the prosper
ity Of the moment could, if nothing
is done, be expected to drop to a
replacement basis after a few
years. This might spell deep de-
preston for some later time-but
only if we fail to make the gradual
shift in expenditures and resource
use that wise f%oreseeing and astute
planning for this inevitable trend
Of development suggested to a
sagacious people,"
1t would be difficult to overstate
how much depends on our ability
to deal with this inevitable trend
of development'-that is to say
with the use Of our resources and
plant and with the investment OF
the capital that will have accumu-
lated when the postwar demand
for houses, automobiles, and other
goods, has been satisfied.
Another 1929 would surely pro-
duce another 1888. Those were the
years which produced the New
Deal here. They were the years
during which Japan began the era
of conquest in Manchuria and
when Hitler came to power. The
whole world-all Of Europe, Brit
ain, Russia-are living today with
an acute sense that an economic
catastrophe in the United States
would shake the world. If we were
able to assure them that we have
the will and the knowledge to avert
another 1929. we could do more
to relieve them Of their worst
anxieties, more to persuade them
that peace is possible through the
United Nations, than by any other
thing we could do.
We cannot, Of course, give them
iron-clad guarantees. But we can
convince them that we really mean
to try. They may then be willing
to believe, having seen what we
did when we really tried during
the war, that we shall not fall.

form, which originated among the
unorthodox, can be assimilated BY
the orthodox.
The situation is favorable to thi'
approach. We are actually in
period of great production ane
high employment, and there i!
every economic reason to expec'
that prosperity will continue, with
out serious interruption, for some
time to come. Therefore the Coun'
ell of Economic Advisers do not
begin their work in an atmosphere
of crisis, of mass unemployment
and misery. Of bankruptcies ano
panic: they r not called upon te
improvise emergency measures
and rescue operations. The national
economy as a whole, despite all its
local and marginal problems, is a
going concern, and their tasks is to
recommend measures which will
keep it a going concern.
The earlier the warning signs Of
trouble can be detected and recon-
mendations agreed to which will
avert the trouble, the less drastic
will the measures have to be. A
stitch in time saves nine. The re-
port dwells at length on how rnde-
sirable it is to dwell with booms and
busts and trusts simply by suck
ing or pumping great quantities OF
money out of-or into the national
economy. But the fact is that ii
corrective measures are not taken
soon enough, if the forces of in
flation or deflation r allowed to
run wild and become cumulative,
drastic and wholesale measures
will be resorted to. For no demo
cratic nation in this century will
passively accept the cycle of boom
and bust as the product of a blind
fate.
The drastic wholesale measures
which have 50 many evil political
and moral effects, cannot be
averted by the arguments OF those
who disbelieve in them. They can
be averted only by continual pre-
ventive action taken before the
trouble becomes so serious that it
must be remedied. however, I'M
pleasant the remedy. This is,
