This suggestion comes on the
heels of the recent announcement
from Congress that there will be
no more loans or costly assistance
to Europe this year. 1t is probable
that this gigantic program to win
the peace will not mature until next
year, although some members of
Congress believe that the hint-of a
special session next fall may have
something to do with the State De-
partment's plans.
Underlying Idea of Plan
| The underlying idea of this new
| plan to gain peace is that the pres
ent troubles in Europe are due tc
economic and financial conditions
and if We could solve them from our
thin surplus of wealth, the whole
world would benefit.
The State Department still be-
lieves strongly that the problem is
economic and not political. This
opinion is not shared by many
trained observers who, after ex-
haustive studies on the spot, have
come to the conclusion that politics
in most European countries is
causing the present economic break
down.
AS an illustration it is pointed out
that economic and financial condi.
tions in Great Britain are worse
now than they were year ago, be.

The Nations military and civil

Gen Eisenhower, Army chief of

ably many lives if it had been fol-
lowed by World War II leaders,
Gen Eisenhower said.

This Changing World
State Department Devises Loan Scheme
To Halt Russia's Expansionist March

don't know what their political fu-
ture will be, particularly when they
see Russia on the march and m-
challenged, except by pious words
The countries behind the iron cur
tain are all police states and dlc-
tatorships in one form or another
Any financial assistance given oy
the United States is described as
further penetration by American
monopolism and subjugation OF the
recipients to American imperialism.
AS for Russia herself, she has
refrained from discussing any large
loan with the United States because
this might create the impression
abroad that she is flirting with
America. She has no objection TO
our pouring billions in cash and
materials (raw and manufactured)
into any country within her sphere
SO long as the recipient governments
remain under her political wing ano
subject, without restrictions, 70
Moscow's dictates.
In the present conflict between
east and west political ideologies
are far more important than cash or
materials. AS was the case in the
war with the Axis, the present clasn
is between individualism and liberty
on one side and totalitarianism and
police rule on the other. And 1t Is
clear to all-except those who think
wishfully-that the U. S. S. r. Will
not "sell out" for any billions OF
dollars.
Plan of British Origin"
II American resources can De
drained by an appeasement policy
represented in large money grants
politely described as loans, 1T Will be
so much the better for Russia's S
political plans. The sooner there Is
depression in the United States
the quicker will Russia's plans for
world domination come to fruition.
The present plan for global aid to
Europe is reliably reported to be OF
British origin. The London govern

another loan from the United States
This is true for several reasons
principally because it feels that
Congress will no longer be favorably
disposed to such requst. But II the
present plan succeeds, every country
across the Atlantic could help itsel1
to a slice of the Sc, 1000, ,000, 900 which
/ it is proposed to make available
annually for the next three to hVe
years-and possibly longer.
If peace could be purchased, there
is no question that it is worth all the
billions Americans could pour into
l. it. But the billions we have already
| invested, either directly through
loans or indirectly through UNRRA
and other organizations, have not
improved the political situation
Quite the contrary.
Europe today Is in far worse shape

New Super-Weapon
Reports Exaggerated,
u. 5. Scientist Says
By the Assoeioied prsss

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Herald
Tribune quotes 39-year-old Amer
ican scientist, who 1t says shared in
the development of the secret Anglo
American weapon reported from
New Zealand, as saying the weapon
exists and first reports, although
exaggerated, are substantially true. "
The scientist, James Marion Snod-
grass of Cincinnati, is further quoted
as saying the weapon was not con-
nected in any way with the atom
bomb and that it was not biological
weapon.
Existence of the weapon first was
reported when Prof. T. d. j. Leech
of New Zealand was mentioned on
the birthday honors list of King
George VI in London. A news dis
patch reported DR.. Leech as saying
his weapon was an effective alterna-
tive to the atomic bomb. Later
dispatches mentioned a Prof. ]. M.
Snodgrass of the University of Cali
fornia as co-worker.
Original reports said the secret
weapon outrivaled the atom bomb.
Great Importance Seen.
The Herald Tribune says it reached
Maj. Snodgrass in Cincinnati and
quoted him as saying that he worked
on the weapon in New Zealand and
that he believed 1T to be weapon
of tremendous Importance.
But farther than that he would
not co." the paper says. HE would
not discuss it's nature or whether it
was for use against personnel or
vessels"
The Herald Tribune quotes Mr..
Snodgrass as saying the Navy holds
all reports on it, although he re-
called having spoken to DR.. Van
nevar Bush, wartime scientific lead
er, about it.
The paper says Mr.. Snodgrass was
biophysicist and had done work
on the effect of electric currents on
the human body in the years that
preceded the wartime work. At
present he is chief engineer of the
motion picture sound division OF the
Payton- Acme Co. of Cincinnati.
During the war, the paper says, he
was associated with the National
Defense Research Council and
worked on biophysical problems at
the war research division of the
University of California.
Mr.. Snodgrass was quoted as say
ing the weapon first was conceived
by the British and although Amer
lean naval men were not enthusi-
astic, the British pressed the work,
first during 1943 at an obscure South
Pacific Island, then in New Zealand.

and both offer the idea in the name
of peace. They agree completely
that some such plan would be
cheaper than another war.
/ These are just two ideas among
many being developed in unofficial
as well as official quarters concerning
methods of forestalling that next
war. The Truman doctrine on the
subject is pretty well understood
by now. Implicit in it is the age
old theory that the best way to as
sure peace is to prepare for war.
This explains the dogged defense
Iof the armed forces against the
appropriation in Congress,
They have been carrying on a pretty
successful rearguard action, for they
are not alone in their belief that
we still require the best Army and

drive, largely official, in oehalf Of

pointed by President Truman to
study the question. The chairman
of the commission is DE- Karl T.
Compton, president of the Massa-
chusettS Institute of Technology.

mittee this week that Americas

There is, however, legislation be-

sal training. That is not the stated
purpose of the legislation, however
The stated purpose is to guarantee
ar education to all the children In

that otherwise will have to go with
out an education.
1t cannot be forgotten, so soon
after the wars end, that one OF the
problems confronted in building our
great citizens army was the num-
her of citizens who lacked sufficient
education to make good soldiers IN
this day of mechanical and technl-
cal warfare. The number OF INT
crates turned up by the SeiectlVe
