GERMANY:
PriUate Relief

AS result of President Truman's
approval of the establishment Of a
private relief council composed of
religious, labor and social agencies,
needy Germans may receive up to
1000 tons of supplies each month if

Set up after heavy pressure had
been exerted for the alleviation of
starvation and privation in the con-
quered Reich out of humanitarian
considerations, the new council,
known as C1ALOG, will include the
American Friends Service commit
tee, Brethren Service committee,
Christian Science War Relief COM

surveying needs, shipments will in
clude evaporated and powdered
milk, sugar, fats, clothing and shoes
and medical supplies.

EMPIRE:
Diplomatic Test

Continued, costly political rioting
in Egypt and India pointed UP the
pressing problems facing postwar
British diplomacy in the preserva-
ton of important military and eco
nomic outposts in the far-fung en-
pire.
Led by student agitators, crying
for retirement of British troops from
strategic coastal bases and the re-
joining of Sudan with the Egyptian
government, mobs stormed through
Cairo, smashing windows, desecrat-
ing Christian churches and attack
ing military barracks. Known for
his strong inclination to order, new
Premier Sidky Pasha, while pro-
Tossing sympathy with national as
pirations, threatened to use an iron
hand in restoring calm.
In India, mobs took the mutiny of
native imperial seamen as an oc-
casion of wild rioting, looting shops,
burning busses and street cars and
destructive stoning. In rebelling in
a number of royal naval installa-
tions, the Indian sailors charged
discrimination in rehabilitation and
pay allowances and fought pitched
battles with British forces seeking
to regain seized positions.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Bev-
in told commons in a review of the
international situation: II am not
prepared to sacrifice the British en-
pire because / know that if the
British empire fell the greatest col
lection of free nations would 60 into

ROME:
Church Program
Calling for International spiritual
unity, Pope Plus XII presented the
Catholic church's program for peace
during ceremonies creating 80 new
cardinals, including Francis J.
Spellman of New York, John EEzlen-
non of st. Louis, Samuel A. S&itch
of Chicago and Edward Mooney of
Detroit.
Stating that only through spiritu-
al unity tying men together in mu-
tual respect could mankind be ex-
pected to resolve it's common prob
lens, the Holy Father decried po-
itical imperialism which aimed to-
ward the seizure of material riches
and human oppression.
Vigorously denying that the Cath
olic church sought temporal SOW
ereignty, the pope said that its pro-
gram called for spiritual unity. with
dignifcation of the individual the
basis for preserving his liberty and
advancing the welfare of state and
family. Pointing to the worldwide
representation in the college of car
dinals, the pontiff declared it re-
fiected the aspirations of all peoples.

Begun four months ago when gov

repeatedly disclosed that cheaper

There can be little question that Winston Churchill in

record of her apparent misrepresentation of machinery for

all these add to make picture which CRATES the sensl-
biltes of Americans and Britons alike.
While Churchill not speaking officially, it is prob
ably that both Prime Minister Attee and President
Truman had exact knowledge of what he proposed to say

THE APPEAL ON SPAIN
Hartford conrantN

Hartford CouranD
Although the ostensihle purpose
OF the, Anglo French American
note on Spain is not exceptional,
the wisdom Of issuing 1t is doubt
full, to say the least. The note dis
claims any intention of interfering
in Spain. But Its whole tone and
purport, down to the concluding
reference to the efforts OF the
Spanish people To achieve their own
freedom makes 1t a thinly dis
guiSed call to revolution against
Franco. BY gratuitously injecting
this appeal into the existing inter-
national uneasiness, the note seems
calculated to bring about that very
repetition OF "the horrors and Bit
ternesS Of civil strife" that the is
suing powers say they hope can be
avoided.
In one sense the note contrad!cts
the Atlantic Charter. For the ehird
point in the Charter is respect for
"the right Of all peoples to choose
the form Of government under
which they will live" Through this
note the governments of France,
Britain and the United States are
trying to do the choosing on be-
half OF the Spanish people. To be
sure 1t may be argued that only by
getting rid OF the fascist bully
Franco can the Spanish people
have a chance to choose their gov
eminent freely. 1t may also be
pointed out that the rest Of point
three in the Atlantic Charter calls
for restoring sovereign rights Of
self-government' to those who
have been forcibly deprived of
them" But Hitler would probably
have won free elections in his hey
day; and right now the fascist
Peron seems to be winning Argen-
tina's supposedly free election.
The note calls for "a peaceful
withdrawal of Franco, the abolition
of the Falange, and the establish
ment of an interim or caretaker
government" that can prepare for
free elections and a new constitu-
ton. Thus it proposes to apply to
Spain the formula Of broadly repre-
sentative temporary government
and free elections envisaged at
Yalta and Potsdam as a cure-all
for the political headaches Hitler
left behind him. But the experience
with that formula in countries like
Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia,
that do not have the tradition of
free vote and peaceful acceptance
Of its results has not been entirely
happy. There is little evidence that
it would work better in Spain,
which has had elections before. All
that it got from them was the revo-
luton and that led King Alfonso
to quit the throne, and Frances
counter revolution. Non Franco
Spain is split into sharply and bit
terly divided splinter parties of
