"In the rising Middle East is a
new possibility of balance stabiliz-
ing force which could eliminate the
outward and unsuccessful power
versus power lineups Of past decades.
An independent and strong Arab
world would be a new factor for
reckoning as far as quarrelsome Eu-
rope is concerned. An aggressor
could no longer see world conquest
possible through overrunning the
historic backgrounds of Central Eu-
rope.
"All would-be conquerors have rec
ognized the strategic Importance of
the Middle East but all have seen in
it only foreign strength and native
weakness. In the development of its
own strength it can become power
to discourage these efforts to estab-
lish a single world domination.
OF the internal problems of the
Middle East, Azzam asserted that
"the Arab world needs expanded
social thinking and a new concep-
ton of its destiny. For generations
and centuries we have been overrun
or dominated by imperialist powers
whose only concern was that of
policing while developing their own
military or economic interests. We
need assistance, not in money but

events in many of the 16 European
nations are moving with almost
catastrophe speed" and Mr.. Alphand
said bluntly that "1948 will be in,
our view, the crucial year" for
United States help.
Both these officials made 1t clear
that Europe cannot hope to lift
itself by its own bootstraps, that
only with American aid can she
once again become self-supporting.
And even the plan worked out at
Paris to use 20 billions of that aid
in the next four years is based
on some very shaky premises.
One of these is that prices Euro
peans must pay for American goods
will drop by 1851 as must as 12k
per cent from what they were last
July. Instead they have been going
up. The difference would be billions
of dollars.
The other is that the 16 nations
can resume trade in prewar
amounts with the Eastern European
Nations now in the Soviet sphere
and on whom they used to depend
for much Of their food. This, of
course, is impossible to predict.
The Europeans will be answering
American questions for quite a
while, probably right up to the
moment the administration sends
its foreign aid bill-its Marshall
plan-to Congress.
Special Session Opposed
1t has been obvious for some
weeks now that President Truman
is most reluctant to call Congress
into special session before it's next
regular meeting date at the first
of the year. Every effort is being
made by the Administration and
with considerable prodding from
Republican leaders, most of whom
are just as reluctant to have Con-
gress reassemble before January to
find other means to meet Europe's
urgent short-term relief needs.
One such means was announced
last week by President Truman.
The Army will buy $4,000, 900 worth
of French francs, thus allowing
France that much cash to buy food
in the United States. Other similar
rabbits will pop out of hats if the
administrators magicians can
think up the tricks. ..
If enough rabbits can be found,
then it Is likely Congress may be
asked only to consider a long term
rehabilitation and recovery program
which probably will be known to
the history books as the Marshall
plan" It's basis was a speech by
Secretary Marshall last June 6. It's

Veterans Medical Men
Are Studying Diseases
on Broad Scale
By RowIond Evans, Jr.

A doctors dream Is coming true
at the Veterans Administration.
Where medical researchers have
only dreamed of having as many
as 100 cases of a given disease to
investigate and follow through in
search for the most effective
treatment, the VA has thousands.
With a special congressional ap-
preparation of s2,500,000 the VA is
utilizing what may be the greatest
research opportunity in the history
of medicine.
In charge of the program are Dr.
E. H. Gushing and DR.. L. G. Welt.
DR.. Gushing Is the nephew of the
late DR.. Harvey Cushing, noted
brain surgeon.
Program in Three Phases
The program is broken down into
three broad categories:
1. Followup studies on veteran
patients.
2. Research in the laboratories of
81 VA hospitals affiliated with uni
versities.
8. Nonlaboratory Investigations.
DR.. Cushing believes the followup
studies will afford the finest oppor-
tunity in medical history for Pc
riodic checks on patients suffering
from a multitude of diseases.
"Followup studies are vital in
medicine If we are to evaluate diff
ferent types Of cures for the same
disease" DR.. Gushing says.
Here we have an opportunity to
keep Our eye on patients for long
periods of time after a certain
treatment has been prescribed and
a cure effected"
Mass Scale Studies
mot only that" DR.. Cushing ex-
planned, but We are dealing on a
mass scale with diseases which
before have appeared only sporadi-
cally, at widely separated parts of
the country. Private hospitals
often don't get enough patients
suffering from the same disease to
make followup studies worthwhile.
For example, we have a pool of
$4,000 veterans who picked up jaun-
dice In the service. We can follow
samples of these veterans from time
to time which will enable us to
understand. the natural history of
the disease and evaluate the various
modes Of treatment these patients
have received,
I'VE have every confidence of i'm
proving our medical care through
the results of this research" DR..
Gushing said. Whatever progress
we make will benefit not only vet
Grams but the whole country"

Lacking
In Able Leaders
Our Occupation Policy
Disqualifies Most
of the Top Men
~ Quart iIIica
By Stuort LilIico

Postwar Japan suffers from a long
list of scarcities-coal, steel, ship
ping and food, for example-but
none is more critical than the cur
rent dearth of experienced national
leaders. Events of the past decade
have practically eliminated all the
men who might have led Nippon
out of the unhappy economic and
political labyrinth in which it finds
itself.
The United States is partly re-
sponsible for this situa tion, since our
occupation policies have eliminated
thousands of the men who might
have stepped into the postwar
breach. Moreover, this fact may
cost real dollars and cents, since the
lack of able administrators means
that soap (Supreme Commander
for the Allied Powers) must remain
in Japan just that much longer.
Few Are Experienced
The composition of the present
l7-man center-left coalition cabi-
net in Tokyo illustrates what this
dearth of leaders means. Socialist
Premier Tetsu Katayama has only
one man who ever held a cabinet
job before; none had any big
time" political experience before the
surrender, and the economic policies
of the incoming Finance Minister
were not even known to Tokyo's
financial writers when he took Of
flee. Katayama himself served sew
eral terms in the Diet between 1928
and 1912, but he had never filled an
administrative pest.
Many of Katayama's ministers
held important trade union posi-
tions, which now give them much
needed political support. However,
even the most important of them,
Cabinet Chief Secretary Suehiro
Nishio (who is, in effect, Deputy
Prime Minister for political mat
ters), was without experience in
government when he took Office last
May.
Reason Fairly Clear
1t is an interesting commentary
on this situation that the entire ad-
ministration has increased in sure
handedness with the passing Of
time. 1t is still far from expert.
For nearly six months, for example,
it has, continued to tumble the i'm
portant question of collecting the
Japanese rice harvest in a manner
that would keep 1t out of the hands
of the black market. However. the
frequency of avoidable faux pas is
dropping steadily.
The reasons for this dearth of
leadership are fairly clear-cnt. In
the first place there is the newt
able atrophy Of mems minds under
totalitarianism. Two years Of bay
onet democracy" even with the best

most forceful influences for world
peace. At the same time he acknowl-
edged without reservation the many
internal problems and divergent in
terests of the Arab nations. Fluent
IN Arabic, French and Turkish, he
talked to me in f1awless English
fortunately-and prefaced his re-
marks by emphasizing the oppor-
tunity which the American press
has to bring into public discussion
the issues which statesmen and dip
lomats have failed so often to settle
in secret.
"The first problem of all people
today is to establish peace" he be-
gan. The world is still war minded
and too much in the mood to settle
its issues by force. 1t is a fallacious
approach.
Rising Middle East
For generations the Slavic nations
have been recognized as threat to
western civilization. They were con-
tanned once by the Ottoman Empire,
but that was destroyed by the First
World War. They were contained
later by the German barrier, but
that was destroyed by the Second
World War. They are being con-
tanned presently by the threat of the
atomic bomb-but that can be only
temporary and Is not a force for
true or lasting peace.

who talks tough and often acts that
way, as the San Francisco constab-
ulary will testify. On a couple OF
occasions he has been caught wear
ing a coat. His customary garb is
a cap. open-neck shirt or just his
"undie" uppers and tight-ftting
trousers with bottoms the shape OF

The especial delight of Mr.. Lunde-
berg-he says its his ~vocation-is
kicking around waterfront charac-
ters he suspects of being Communist
There is evidence aplenty to bear out
his claims and he has a lot of
material to work on out this way.
Doesn't Bait Reds
Them stew-bums of the CIO call
me Red batter MI. Lundeberg
announces. Il amt no batter, I'm a
beater."
The thing which makes Mr..
Lundeberg newsworthy at this mo-
ment is that he signed new con-
tract this week with the Pacific
American Shipowners' Association
which, to all intents and purposes,
gives his union closed shop. The
closed shop is prohibited" by the
Taft-Hartley Act. The association
represents all West Coast shipowners
and Mr.. Lundeberg has monopoly
on the Observation-Disclosures
work their vessels.
Language of the contract with re-
gard to hiring is interesting. 1t
states:
"The employers agree in the hir-
ing of employees to prefer applicants
who have previously been employed
on vessels of one or more of the
companies signatory to this agree
ment. The union agrees that in
furnishing deck personnel to en-
ployers through their employment
Office it will recognize such prefer
ence and furnish seamen to the en-
ployers with due regard thereto and
to the competency and depend
ability of the employees furnished.
When ordinary seamen with prior
experience are not available the
union will, in dispatching seamen,
prefer graduates of the Andrew
Furuseth Training School,"
Says Taft Approves
Mr.. Lundeberg maintains his
hiring hall just as he did In pre-
Taft-Hartley days. All OF the
sailors who man the ships are dis
patched from there.
Perhaps the key to Mr.. Lunde-
berg's tight grip on jobs for West
Coast sailors is the Andrew Furuseth
school, named for an early Or

Morocco Base Is HANDY

States sells for so cents and per-
fume is so cheap you can wash in it.
Work at the base is hard and
promotions are slow. The base is
short handed in the technical di-
visions. This Is the case through
out the entire Navy today-there Is
a terrific need for men schooled in
electronics and aviation mainte-
nance. The Navy trained thousands
of skilled mechanics during the war
and they were the most anxious to
grab high-paying civilian jobs.

Yes, Port Lyautey is one heck of
